Tasha DeLancy

I called Tasha and she was so rude! I wanted to book her for a wedding party and she refused to speak with me unless I promised she could do hair for three people. I only had two in mind to start with, and frankly could have booked for 5 people, but her attitude was extremely off-​putting. Planning a wedding is stressful and I do not need this lack of customer service and poor communication early on. I would not recommend even contacting Tasha. Don’t waste your time!

I found Tasha through «The Knot» magazine and then immediately looked at her website and Unilocal reviews. I am getting married in April and needed to start looking into hair and makeup before it was too late. I was really impressed with her pictures, testimonials and her experience. I put in a request on her website for her to contact me, and I did this on a Sunday morning around 9am I believe. I kid you not, she called me back an hour and a half later and by that evening we had an appointment booked for a trial and consultation. Her assistant Caroline sent me a very thorough email with all the info I would need for booking Tasha for my wedding, contact info, and assured me that ANY questions I would have would be answered immediately. I was very excited to meet Tasha after this and began to look at pictures of hair and makeup that I would show her on our consult date.
WOW. Just had my consult yesterday and Tasha and Michelle (who is the hair extraordinaire) were beyond AMAZING. Just a few minutes after I walked in, Tasha said to me «We have to accentuate your eyes, you have beautiful eyes!» and lo and behold, I showed her a picture of an actress that had beautiful smokey-​eyed makeup, which is what I wanted to be done. I then showed her a few pics of hairstyles that caught my attention and she completely agreed with my choices. Once Michelle saw the pics, the two of them went to work and I was blown away with how talented they both are. Michelle nailed it with my hair and pretty much did a replica of the pic i showed her on the first try and Tasha did not stop until my makeup looked perfect. I left feeling beautiful, pleased with the amount of detail they’d put in to make me happy and so excited to see them again on my wedding day. Furthermore, the products Tasha uses are from her own makeup line, toxin-​free, and I cannot wait to purchase some of them! These two are gems. So happy to have found them. They are the only hair and makeup team I tried and they are the ones I will be using on my wedding day!

Tasha and Michelle are doing my hair and makeup for my wedding next month. So far, I am reviewing them based on my trial, but I will update after the wedding. But here is my impression so far:
I had a vision of how I would love my makeup and hair to look for my wedding day and Tasha really nailed it. It looked beautiful and wore/​evolved beautifully throughout the night and even the following morning. After my trial, I put it to the test, walked around windy downtown, went to a sentimental movie, and had a cry, so it was a great test drive. And even after all that, I still looked and felt beautiful. My fiancé, and aunt who saw it were floored. We took pictures, showed them to my mom, and she just kept saying: «Vogue Paris. The cover of Vogue Paris!»
And that’s exactly how I felt — stylish, sexy, confident, beautiful. The work they did reflected not only their experience, but their excellent taste.
Final product aside, they were professional, friendly, and they totally got it, so an overall pleasure to work with. So far I’m very, very happy, and excited to work with them again on my wedding day.

Tasha and Michelle are a dream team for makeup and hair!
A few things that really impressed me:
1. Tasha is a true makeup artist– she can make you look radiant and natural or intensify your makeup for a more dramatic look. She really listens to your preferences and goes from there.
2. Michelle is a hair diva! Each member of the wedding party had a dramatically different hair style that suited their personality and hair type. Some brought photos of the style that they liked and Michelle was able to replicate to a T. Others let Michelle work her magic and were extremely pleased with the outcome.
3. They were both very nice and personable.
I highly recommend their services.

Everything went off without a hitch! Tasha and Michelle were at the hotel on time and ready to go. Everyone who got their hair and/​or makeup done loved it… including me! I even made a last minute change to the way I wanted my hair done and Michelle pulled it off no problem.
I would recommend their services to anyone looking for quality hair and makeup… and two very nice/​fun people!

Tasha and Michelle are amazing!
These two girls are pros when it comes to wedding makeup and hair. I had 2 trials for hair and makeup prior to my wedding and they were so accommodating to all the requests and changes that I had. On the big day I had 11 girls — moms, bridesmaids and flower girls — to get through for hair and makeup and we had to be picture perfect ready by 1:30 pm. Tasha knew I was anxious about having everyone ready on time. But every time I spoke with her prior to the wedding she calmly reassured me that everything was going to work out just fine. Can I say that these girls rocked it?! They had all of us looking gorgeous by 1pm — earlier than scheduled! And everyone loved how they looked!
Tasha and Michelle are not only talented but they are FUN! My girls and I had a blast getting ready and chatting away with the two of them all morning. I have since recommended Tasha’s services to two dear friends (free makeover for referrals!!) and would not hesitate to hire her for future events.

Tasha and Sarah came to my place at 6:30am yesterday (yes, AM!!) and hustled to do hair and makeup for my 2 bridesmaids, sister, mother and myself for my morning wedding. We came away looking amazing, if I say so myself. :) Even my bridesmaids love-​love-​loved their looks, which I think is a big deal, because as a bridesmaid I have never once liked what any hair and makeup artist did to me. Another big bonus — my picky, finicky mother was all over the natural look that Tash gave her. She somehow managed to make my mom look about 10 years younger. What mother wouldn’t love that!
As happy as I was with the results from my initial hair and makeup trials, I was beyond happy with my look the day-​of. I should also mention that just that morning, I told Sarah that I had changed what I wanted for my hair style, but she totally took that in stride and knocked that sh*t out of the park!
Tasha and Sarah are such a dynamic duo… they are the be-​all and end-​all of hair and makeup. Seriously.

Our wedding day was fabulous! And Tasha was wonderful to work with on the day of the wedding! She’s so full of energy and knows exactly what she is doing! All the girls looked beautiful and loved their make-​up. Everyone looked flawless and natural. We were all beyond pleased with Tasha. Our wedding day was a hot one and the make up stayed on beautifully.
Tasha knows what she is doing, will execute perfection and she is QUICK! I was a bit worried about time, but we were way ahead of schedule!
Tasha also did my mother’s make up at no extra charge. My mother is usually quite picky, but I heard no complaints! She looked lovely and was excited with how her make up turned out.
I would recommend Tasha over and over again. She is sweet, fun to work with, knows what she is doing and great to have around on your wedding day! LOVE. HER!!!

Well my wedding finally came and Tasha and Sophie (her partner in crime who does hair) made me look smokin’! After a night in the ER and throwing up the night before my wedding… ya, nightmare, they were so sweet and calming. They really tried to make me relax. And the outcome was FABU! Guests kept telling my how great my hair and makeup looked. One male guest told me I should put on a hair net so I can keep my hairdo for as long as possible! Also, Tasha told me I didn’t have to use my second trial for an actual trial if I was all set with the first one so I ended up having her do my makeup for my rehearsal dinner. And then she did my sisters at no charge!

Tasha was amazing to work with — professional, on point and gave us far more than we could have expected. We gave her some descriptions and a couple of ideas to go with and she gave us what we wanted, but had no idea we needed. She was like Felix — pulling trick after trick out of her bag, all without being asked. It was a real pleasure to meet her and work with her, and for any of our future shoots we are certain to call her first! A fine artist, and a great lady too boot!

All I have to say is wow! Tasha did my makeup for my friend’s wedding where I was a bridesmaid. She was on time, prepared, very professional, but nice and easy-​going at the same time. And she did a great job! I usually hate getting my makeup done for fear of looking like I’m in drag, but she actually listened to what I wanted, and did a beautiful job! Also very reasonably priced and accommodating. Overall, great makeup & no headache = happy me!

I’m getting married int 2 weeks, and I recently went to Tasha for the trial run for my wedding makeup. Tasha was amazing! She gave me 2 trials, was very open to my comments and opinions, and really did a great job! She made me feel very comfortable while I was there, and beautiful after I left! Now, I feel confident about my wedding makeup, and can’t wait for my day!!!

I spent a wonderful afternoon watching Tasha turn my beautiful daughter into a bride. We went for my daughter’s first trial to a woman who is truly an artist! Not only was it fun to watch her work, but she is a riot to be around. She not only cares about what she is putting on your face (she only uses the highest quality of products), but she also gives you a regimen of vitamins and foods, so your face glows for your special day! her motto is less is more. And, I totally agree. Tasha did my make up too. Instead of wanting to scrub my face 5 hours post trial; I’m trying to figure out how I could preserve my makeup. Tasha is amazing! I know my daughter will be a beautiful glowing bride and Tasha will not only add her artistry, but make our day fun and special!!!

I am from South Cal, but planning a wedding in SF. I had exactly 3 weeks left before the big day and, I was skeptical about hiring a makeup artist because mainly of 2 reasons: first, I feared I would not look like myself after all the makeup because I am so accustomed to going natural on a regular basis and second of all, I did not want to pay the money. Well, I decided to look and call around for a makeup pro anyway as I did not want to be bothered worrying about the way I would look on my wedding day. So I thought I would give it a shot, take a risk and see who I can find. And baboom — I found TASHA!!! With a short notice, she was able to see me for a trial run during my visit in SF. And I must say — Tasha is a TRUE FIND for all of you ladies who want to look beautiful on your big day! She is responsive, flexible and most importantly — TALENTED and WHAT A PERSONALITY! You will love her and your mother would too!
On my trial run with her, not only did she listen to what kind of look I wanted but she also made me feel at ease. Tasha is great and got a really good eye for the right look… she brought out a romantic, blushing look out of me by using warm colors and highlighting my good features while toning down some features that desperately needed it. This lady knows her stuff. You can feel confident as soon as you step out of her makeup chair and feel like a princess. While she does her «magic» touch on you, you will not notice time had passed as she is a ton of fun and very vibrant. I say if you are looking for a true makeup pro, give her a call. Not only will you look great with her work and receive so much compliments from others like I did, but you will have also fun and she will also give you tips on how to keep your skin looking great. Tasha is one of the best finds I have ever had… I can’t wait till she does her «magic» work on me on my wedding day.

Hi Everyone — I had a session with Tasha to become more aware of new products and make up application for women fifty years and older. Tasha was very knowledgeable in a variety of areas regarding products, brushes and make up application. She has a wonderful, up-​beat personality and I enjoyed our time together.

Tasha is so wonderful! She was truly a find. I searched for a long time for a makeup artist. After looking at countless sites and making countless phone calls, I had a feeling it was going to be a good fit as soon as I talked to her. I was looking for a specific look and had a tough time finding it. But, I met with her and she was everything I was looking for — she knew what I wanted immediately, was so flexible and is the sweetest person. If you’re looking to have a ‘no worries’ day on your wedding, engagement or any other big day, she is your gal!

I was a maid of honor at my friends wedding and I needed to have my makeup done asap. I found Tasha on Unilocal on 2 days before the wedding, she was able to accomodate me at 8am on a Sunday! I usually do my makeup myself, but she did such an amazing job. My eyes literally popped out and I had a bunch of individual eyelashes done which looked completely real. I was done in literally 45 minutes and my makeup lasted me the whole day, plus she uses only the best products.
You can go to Mac and look cheap and have your face breakout or you can go to her and look amazing.

Tasha is fantastic. She did my trial run for my wedding and she rocked it! I don’t usually wear much make-​up and therefore am super picky about make-​up application. She was great at interpreting the look I wanted, romantic blushing bride, but still ensuring that I looked like myself. On top of being a make-​up maven, Tasha is also a sweetheart. She was fun, personable and accommodating.
If I had unlimited funds, Tasha would be definitely on the payroll because with her around you are guaranteed to feel gorgeous everyday!

One word to describe Tasha — AMAZING. After tons of trials with other make up artists, I was feeling discouraged and thought I would NEVER find someone good enough to do my make up on the most important day of my life. Until I found Tasha — WOW!!! I looked amazing after my 1^st trial and I immediately booked her. She is extremely qualified with a very impressive list of celebrity clients. She listens to what you want and gives great advice on making you look absolutely fabulous! Tasha’s personality is an added plus and she makes you feel like you’ve known her for years!
I’m so glad I found her and I can’t imagine trusting anyone else to do my make up. TASHA IS THE BEST!

No kidding – I found Tasha on craigslist after the makeup artist I had booked for my wedding couldn’t do my bridal portraits.
Girlfriend knows what she’s doing – my makeup, as promised, lasted for 12 hours and looked great in the pictures too. She works fast, is on time and is so clearly qualified. She’s worked side-​by-​side with Patti Dubroff on the Dior team, helped developed the Philosophy line and helloooo – she does Naomi! I was sold. So much so that I am going with her instead of the first artist I booked on my wedding day.
Added bonus: she’s also really good at achieving what you want – just be honest and she’ll be honest back. Her prices are very reasonable for someone of her caliber and I highly recommend her if you love someone loud, playful and super dedicated to making you look like the most gorgeous version of yourself.
