BE NYLA Bridal

Aw, I love Janet!!!
From the start, it was easy communicating with her via email as she was prompt and flexible in scheduling. (I was lucky enough to be able to book my bridal trial as the same day as my engagement shoot!)
At the bridal trial, I wasn’t in front of the mirror as she was applying makeup, but I loved the look when she revealed it! I don’t usually wear much makeup, but I felt the look she created enhanced my features and didn’t transform me into someone else my fiancé didn’t recognize. It wasn’t too cakey or heavy, but was enough to look great in photos and last the entire day.
Janet has a great personality and I felt really comfortable with her. I thought her calm, focused energy while getting ready would be great to be around on my wedding day. So, of course I booked her and you should too!

I am so happy I chose Janet to do hair and makeup for me, my bridesmaids and mothers. Everything turned out perfectly!
I’m someone who doesn’t wear a lot of makeup. So I really wanted to keep my makeup natural for my big day. During my make up trial session, Janet asked me questions about colors I usually wear and how much makeup I usually put on. It was reassuring to know that she was going to keep things natural and I would actually look like myself :) I also did my makeup trial the morning before my engagement shoot. So our photos turned out great!
For the wedding we had 9 people getting their hair and makeup done (including me). I thought it was going to be crazy, but everything ran very smoothly. Janet’s handy dandy timeline definitely kept us on track :)
Diane, Janet’s assistant did such a great job as well. All the girls LOVED their makeup and hair. I let the girls choose how they wanted their hair, so they just shared their ideas with Janet and Diane and like magic it all came together :)
I was worried about how my hair and makeup wouldn’t last the whole day. But when I look at my photos at the end of the night my hair and makeup look like I just had it done! Crazy!
Thank you Janet and Diane for your amazing work! I couldn’t have asked for more :)

Janet did my hair and makeup for my wedding in September (this is long overdue), and I could not have been happier with the results. From our trial through the day of my wedding, Janet was amazing. She was super professional (even though I got stuck in L.A. traffic and was SUPER late to my trial and felt awful!), but also really sweet and personable. I went to Janet after doing a lot of research online since I was living in New York at the time, but getting married in Los Angeles (no wonder Be NYLA called to me…). I fell in love with a picture from her website, and after a trial run, it was definitely the winner. Even though I ended up getting married on one of the hottest days of the year, I looked flawless. My makeup was amazing. I don’t know exactly what she did to my eyes, but they have never looked so big and beautiful. I wholeheartedly recommend Janet if you want to look gorgeous for any event, and work with a friendly and personable professional. Thanks Janet!

I’ve been meaning to write this for a while. I was married in November of 2014 and found Janet on Instagram and checked out her Unilocal reviews. She was and is AMAZING!!! I work in the entertainment industry and could have used people from hair and makeup, but most of the ones I like were guests at my wedding. She is so good at what she does, and she’s kind, sweet and made me feel beautiful on my wedding day. Thanks for being part of my day!

If you are looking for a bridal hair/​makeup stylist, look no further. I found Janet on Unilocal and I am so happy/​glad/​fortunate that I did. Right from the beginning, she was professional, kind, and responsive. As soon as I contacted her, we setup my trial. The one request my fiancé made about the wedding day was that he wanted me to look like me, not some done up person he couldn’t recognize. I shared with Janet that I was looking for a makeup job that would subtlety enhance my natural look and be able to last all day. She was a miracle worker! I loved the makeup she put on me and the three hairstyles she created made it a hard choice for me. Plus she was so fun to talk to!
When the wedding day arrived, Janet and her stylists showed up on time, did an amazing job on my bridesmaids and me, and gave special care and attention to my 3 ½ year old niece serving as my flower girl. My hair and makeup was stunning, was just what I had in mind and somehow lasted all day. I couldn’t have been more satisfied with Janet and her team.
Definitely consider Janet when planning your wedding. She might be a little more expensive than some other bridal services, but she is totally worth it! You don’t want to be cheap when considering this important part of your wedding day.

I hired Janet for my wedding and she was great. I would highly recommend her! She has a really cool studio and is just really easy to be around. During my trial, it was determined that my hair was too long for the style i wanted. She told me to come back 3 weeks before the wedding and she would cut my hair and complete the trial so I could see what the back would look like. And even now, I still love the hair cut she gave me and I will be going back soon for a trim. She’s not cheap but you get what you pay for so expect to not be disappointed.
As far as the wedding day itself, Janet showed up on time, ready to go. She did the hair and makeup of one of my bridesmaids (she did a great job) and my hair and makeup. She finished with plenty of time and even stuck around so when I cried during the note/​gift exchange with my fiancé, she was there to fix my gross cry face.
I was fortunate to have really great vendors for my wedding and Janet was no exception. She’s conscientious when it comes to phone and email correspondences leading up to the wedding and is very professional.
If you’re like me, it’s hard to justify spending hundreds and hundreds of dollars on hair and makeup but I feel it was worth it. I made an investment in feeling confident and beautiful on my wedding day and it paid off. Thanks to Janet!

Janet is AMAZING!!! One of the best things I did for my wedding was to hire her!!!
Some things are just meant to be…
I was going to have my regular hair stylist and another make-​up artist to do my hair and make-​up for my wedding. Well, my stylist flaked out on me about two weeks before my wedding and I needed someone to replace her. Janet was recommended to me by Cindy of Mad Love Events.
Janet called me back within hours of me leaving a panicky voice mail message on her phone. I had called other people who did hair, but after seeing Janet’s work on her website, I was sold.
You know how people talk about putting stuff out in the universe? Well, after Janet did my trial hair run, I put out into the universe that I silently wished that she could do my wedding make-​up too. She was just super friendly and just simply super talented at what she does. She’s very passionate about her work and really wants to make sure that you look your best on your wedding day.
Wouldn’t you know it? My make-​up artist flaked out on me three days before my wedding (don’t ask, but I’m pretty sure she double-​booked and lied about when she said she was sick). I was upset for like a split second before I realized that this officially freed me to ask Janet to do my make-​up as well for my wedding.
I usually wear some make-​up, but not a whole lot. I asked Janet to make me look natural, but a prettier version of me. Janet totally heard what I was saying and made it happen. She knows what she’s doing. I think I questioned her at some point about the amount of eye make-​up, but she convinced me that it was needed for the photos. And she was right of course. The photos looked great and I know a great deal of that was because of Janet’s talent.
I had such a great experience with Janet that I started to get my hair cut by her as well!!! And now she’s my go to gal when I need someone to help me out with a special occasion.
If you’re a bride-​to-​be, or just need a super talented hair/​make-​up artist to help you out, Janet and Be NYLA is the way to go!

I am testifying that Janet made my fiancé so beautiful for our engagement photo shoot. As I dude, I don’t know much about makeup, but all I know that she did an awesome job to make our photoshoot a memorable one. Our shoot was at 11:00 am and she was in her salon by 7:30 am ready to go. That’s very impressive.
Her studio is so cool. It is quaint and nice. She pops a good tune in the back and for us guys, her couch is quite comfortable.
So if you are looking for a makeup artist, I highly recommend signing up for BE NYLA Bridal.

Call me crazy, but I needed someone to do my hair and makeup 12 days before my BFF’s wedding. I was calling friends of friends who do this sort of thing… no luck! I then went on Unilocal and looked at places by my cousin’s place in Pershing Square. Found this spot and was impressed by the great reviews.
I went on the website and inquired about having hair and makeup done… and moments later, Janet responds. She’s quick! I live in SF, so there were a lot of emails going back and forth about what how I wanted my hair and makeup to look like. This was my first time having this kind of service done, so I had a lot of questions and Janet answered them thoroughly and promptly.
I met her at her studio this past Saturday and Janet did an FABULOUS job. She’s a cool girl, really easy to talk to, and who is passionate about what she does. Next time I’m in LA, I gotta have her cut my hair or something. She rocks my socks! Highly recommended.

Having very little experience in hair/​makeup studios, I found this experience to be surprisingly enlightening. My GF usually spends hours in these places, so the fact that she was impressed says a lot. Janet (from BE NYLA) knew what she was talking about and spent the time to explain the simplicities to a doofus like me. Overall, I think she did a great job and I’d recommend to friends

I usually hate getting my makeup done by other professionals because I end up looking like a drag queen. They tend to overdo certain features or give me looks that are so… NO.
Janet from Be. NYLA is the only makeup artist I’ve found that I can trust with my face. She makes me look like me, just ten times better.
I overdid my partying right before New Year’s Eve and was concerned about appearing tired and worn out in pictures. She worked her magic with her brush, and not only did I look alive, but glowing and youthful as well.
She was also my go-​to when I needed to put my best face forward for an event after having had no sleep and bad skin. She used her talent to enhance what worked and hide what didn’t. Wa la! It was like I was looking at version 2.0 of myself in the mirror.
I had no qualms about referring her for my sister’s upcoming wedding, and I can definitely say the same thing to other brides out there. Janet is highly recommended!

I had my hair and make-​up done here with Janet for my engagement shoot. The big plus in my book is that she’s literally a block away from where I work and since I was only taking a half-​day, I decided why not go here? Plus, I liked the fact that she had so many other positive reviews.
I decided if i really liked her work, I would book her for my wedding. Not only did she make me feel beautiful, I had all my friends and family rave about how great I looked and are now inquiring about how to get in touch with her for their future hair and make-​up needs. So of course, I plan on booking her for my wedding.
She was so awesome! Very sweet and just chatting it up with her made the time fly by. I highly recommend her for any special event you have coming up. I promise you, you won’t regret it! =)

Janet did my makeup for my wedding and I was beyond thrilled with it! She did my makeup as well as my mom’s, mother-in-law’s and one of my bridesmaid’s and we were all equally impressed. Janet is not only professional, but very sweet and genuinely cares about doing the best that she can to make your day perfect. Good makeup is not easy, and she far exceeded my expectations. Our makeup was natural, but popped for the camera. Be. NYLA is really reasonable for what some makeup companies out there charge (some of the other bridal makeup companies charged much more and didn’t strike me as having near the talent).
Any way, if you’re contemplating others, go to Janet! You will be very happy you did :).

Janet is one of the best hair stylists and make up artist out there. She did my hair for my engagement photo shoot and took care of hair & make up for my wedding. Her prices are also very reasonable compared to other bridal hair & make up artists out there.
After my wedding, I told her I wanted to perm my hair so I could have sexy beach waves. (My hair is as straight as a board). She did a very good job with it. :)
What more could I say? Tell her what you want, Janet will deliver, and even go beyond.
Follow BeNYLA on Pinterest too! They have helpful boards.

So many details go into planning a wedding but finding a hair & makeup stylist you TRUST is PRICELESS.
Diane was the stylist for me and my bridal party and here are the top 3 reasons we LOVE Be. NYLA:
1. She’s professional, experienced and has great taste. She not only gave me the look I wanted for my wedding but guided me to pick accessories & styles that would compliment my wedding dress. This advice not only made me look beautiful but I FELT comfortable. I loved that I can trust her to would make me look my best.
2. She’s is a people person. I was pretty nervous and she made me laugh, relax and have a good time as we prepped. All my bridesmaids enjoyed her company.
3. To top it off, her skills are the best I’ve ever seen. I appreciate that whenever she does my look, I still look like myself but better. I HIGHLY recommend her to all my friends and family.
I’m SO thankful for Be. NYLA for making my wedding day beautiful! Since I tend to be a regular bridesmaid, Diane will see me a lot. :)

It’s as if you’ve stepped into a loft in NY, but you’re in the heart of downtown LA. Instead of feeling like you are in the typical, sterile, hair salon, the ambience is inviting, warm, and modern.
I came in to Diane with the request of an ombré. After looking at my hair, she suggested I do a sombre (softer ombré) because of my hair texture. When a hairstylist could advise you on what to do with your hair if your own suggestion is bad, I think that is admirable and shows great skill. Typically, I think some hair stylists are scared of going against their client’s wishes, but a hair STYLIST should advise you what STYLE is best, which is what they do here.
I am happy to say, I loved my hair.
Both Janet and Diane provide EXCELLENT service and are the sweetest people ever! If you’re looking for a new hair/​makeup place, you NEED to come to BE.NYLA.

I can’t say how relieved I am to have found a great team of people to trust with my destination wedding hair/​makeup! Three reasons why they get 5 stars:
1) Diane did my hair/​makeup trial and I could not be any happier with the results. I brought in a few pictures for my trial and thanks to her creativity, the end result was better than what I initially imagined!
2) I went back for a haircut/​color a few weeks later and was so happy with my layers that I purposely didn’t wash my hair that night so I could wear it the way she styled it for work the next day. Lol (Got a ton of compliments too, btw!) She definitely gave a better look to the usual long layers I have, and I was especially happy about the cost of service.
3) Diane suggested a new shampoo/​conditioner for my specific hair type and I love, love, love.
Not only am I set for my wedding, I’ve confidently ditched my current hairstylist whom I’ve been with for years. Thank you, Janet and Diane, for all that you do!

Great service, great place and ended up with great hair!!! What else can u ask for? Got my hair done by Diane and I love it! She listened and gave me exactly what I wanted. I wanted to keep my hair long and if u want half an inch, that’s what she’ll give u! Thank u Jesus, a hairstylist that doesn’t go scissor happy !! Thanks to her I’m now a hot red head! Lol
Now let me find a hot hubby so they can do my hair and makeup for my wedding!

So, finding a Truely Talented, Kind, and Gifted Hairstylist in L. A can be like finding a needle in a haystack! Until I found Diane Yutuc at Be. NYLA!
I was referred to her by my friends for Cut/​Color. I have very high standards when it comes to getting my hair done, and I’m so pleased to say that I am a devoted client of Diane’s. She gave me a new twist to my usual long layers, and really updated my look! We talked about adding a few highlights to frame my face, and so I booked another appointment to get my color done.
The shades that she chose really made my haircut even more amazing! I’m telling you, Diane really knows her stuff! I trust her expert opinion and suggestions because she actually comes thru in the end.
I travel to Los Angeles quite frequently and will be visiting Be. NYLA for all my beauty needs ;)

Working with Be. NYLA was such a great experience. As a photographer, you want your clients to look at their best and feel comfortable during the entire shoot and Be. NYLA helped me to make that happen. They are professionals that have natural eyes to details.
I hope to work with them more in the future and definitely will recommend one of the best hair& make-​up artist in LA — Be. NYLA!
