About Dez Penaloza Beauty

Dez Penaloza

Hair + Makeup Artist

I'm Desiree, or Dez for short. I've been doing makeup for 12 years and hair for about 6! Doing makeup and hair is such an intimate experience- I pride myself on my upbeat energy and helping set a tone of positivity for such a special day, while making you and everyone in your party look and feel incredible.

After working 300+ weddings, I am passionate about transforming women through beauty to make them feel and look like the most confident versions of themselves. I am an airbrush expert! Your makeup will stay on all day (and night!) It will also withstand the happy tears. I use top of the line products and tools to ensure that your hair will also stay. I love doing bombshell waves, looks with a retro vibe, and chic, effortless styles that will compliment your outfit and your personal style.

  • Dez is the Best!

    As mother-of-the-bride, we hired Dez to do hair and makeup at my daughter's June wedding. I recommend Dez without reservation for her expertise, professionalism, and ease to work with. She really istened to each member of the wedding party and we were all delighted with her services. Dez came to the venue with us and provided last minute touch-ups. We all appreciated her calm demeanor - we felt like we were in good hands. Dez brought an assistant with her due to the size of the bridal party who also provided expert services. I would not hesitate to recommend Dez to anyone looking for hair and makeup bridal services.

    Dez is simply the best. I'm an event planner I've hired her both for my clients and when I've needed my own HMU done for events and personal celebrations. She can really tackle any style, puts everyone at ease and matches the vibe of the room, and genuinely cares about everyone's comfort and happiness. I can't recommend her highly enough!

    I friend of mine referred me to Desiree Penaloza for my bridal make up. She had shown me photos of her work and I was impressed so I called her. Desiree met with me a few months prior to my summer wedding for a trial to see how I wanted to look for the big day. I provided her pictures of the look I was going for and she nailed it. I had never felt more beautiful! She was able to highlight my natural beauty without making me feel like I had too much on my face. I got home from the trial and my fiancé noticed right away how pretty I looked. It was such a relief during that crazy time that I had found her! YAAAAAY! Not only did she use quality products, she airbrushed my foundation on which was SO cool. My complexion looked flawless. That first day left it all on for almost 8 hours just to test the longevity- and it passed the test! I really only needed to touch up my lips! On the day of my wedding Desiree was a calm oasis in the storm of craziness. She had great music to put myself and my bridesmaids in the mood to celebrate. She was super professional and patient and I had the utmost confidence in her work. My overall experience with Desiree is 5 stars. I highly recommend you book her for whatever your occasion may be. She is a gem! Thank you Desiree for making this bride feel her best-I'm so thankful you were part of my big day!
