1000% Recommend Maya!!

Maya did my wedding makeup as well as the trial beforehand. Every moment leading up to the day Maya communicated clearly each step making sure everything went smoothly. Not only did she make my wedding day makeup beyond perfect (and the bridesmaids), she was an absolute joy to be around . She's warm, kind, and brings a really chilled-out vibe to what can be a hectic day.

As a non-makeup wearer I was nervous about the weight of the makeup on my face throughout the day. I felt like a more beautiful, glowing version of myself - exactly what I had hoped for.

Maya is a true professional and a gem and I HIGHLY recommend her - thank you so much Maya!!!!

Amazing Hair & Makeup

Maya did my engagement photo shoot hair and makeup as well as my wedding day hair and makeup, and she created amazing looks both times! She listened to exactly what I was going for - a braided, flowy, natural look for the engagement photos and a classic, timeless, neutral-heavy look for my wedding day. Wonderful artist and amazing person. Maya is awesome to work with; in addition to her skill-set, she's exactly the calm/happy person you want with you on the morning of your big day.

After many failed as they call them selfs professionals make up artist my path led me to Maya. What an amazing, talented and professional human being. I am usually make up free and I made sure to let he know to keep it light and as natural as she could. And she did just that! She made me glow, she made me feel like the most beautiful bride in the world. Thank you Maya for being so awesome! You are an incredible artist and I hope I get the chance to work with you again.

Having Maya as my makeup artist for the wedding was one of the best decisions I made. She is organized, detailed, and a pro when working with bridal makeup. I felt beautiful throughout the day and in photos. She also uses eco beauty products which was very important to me. She is amazing!

Let me just start by stating this: Maya is a gem. She was highly recommended by the staff at my salon, whose judgement I trust, so I booked a trial with Maya right away. I simply sent her some looks that I was considering beforehand, had a conversation about the vibe of the wedding, showed a pic of my dress, and Maya got it in a snap. Her make-up felt incredible (hydrating and very light) and the look was dynamite! BONUS: I didn't set out to work with an eco friendly artist (I wasn't aware that it was an option), but thrilled that Maya has built her business to be low impact on the planet. I didn't trial anyone else.

Fast forward to wedding day: me and my four ladies arrive at the salon. Actually one of my girls got held up on TTC streetcar (groan!) and arrived 45 min late. Maya was a pro, worked fast and was able to get us out on time. I loved the individual looks she gave my girls (all wearing diff dresses, hair), and they were really happy with Maya's work. Honestly, the pictures speak for her talents. My make-up was perfect. Like knock out, amazing. It felt incredible on the whole day. It didn't melt off in the July heat. My gal pals and the ladies in my family loved my eye make-up and the lipstick colour. Some have asked for her contact info.

I cannot praise Maya enough, and look forward to wedding season is over so I can book some makeup lessons with her!

Maya was amazing! She knew exactly what do to for my complexion. I don't like to hide my freckles and she read my mind! Maya took her time to ensure the job was done right. I would use her again in a heart beat.

Loved working with the talented Maya! Received many compliments on my wedding day on both hair and make up. Maya made me feel very comfortable on the wedding day, and was very open to feedback from the bridal trial which I appreciated. Overall, it was a pleasure working with Maya and she was able to answer all of my questions throughout the process. Thank you!

Maya is great and very talented. She is so much fun to chat with and is very good at collaborating and taking suggestions. She even made me and my husband cookies! My one recommendation would be to give her a good description of how long your hair and makeup have taken in the past. We expected to be done in 2 hours and it ended up taking almost 4. Other than that, I wouldn't have changed a thing!

Maya did the makeup for my wedding and all the events leading up to it. I was very happy with all my looks, as were my girlfriends, Mom and sister. She was great at replicating looks we liked in pictures and providing suggestions when we weren't sure what we wanted. She uses really high quality product and it stayed on all night. On top of that, she is personable and fun to work with.

Maya is both VERY patient, and VERY professional . She really brings your vision to life, and makes you feel like a princess on your special day! All my bridesmaid, and family loved her energy-- her work is so incredible, and she just makes you feel at ease. I would with out a doubt recommend her to ANY ONE getting married, or needs to be dolled up for a special occasion! CHOOSE MAYA!
