We stay small on purpose. Five artists means every bride gets someone senior, and nobody on your wedding morning is "the new girl."
Dana Whitfield founder & lead makeup artist
Fifteen years behind the brush, seven of them running Orange Beauty. Dana trained at counters (Bobbi Brown, then Chanel) before going bridal full-time. She teaches the airbrush certification our whole team holds and personally does the trial notes system everyone follows.
Favorite part of the job: "The quiet minute after the last lash goes on, right before the bride turns to the mirror."
Marisol Vega senior hairstylist
Marisol has done hair for eleven years, the last six exclusively weddings. Braid work is her signature — if you've saved a photo of an impossible-looking braided crown, she's your artist. Bilingual (English/Spanish) and unflappable, she once re-pinned an entire updo in a moving party bus.
Ask her about: extensions, thick hair, and why your updo needs day-old hair.
Callie Nguyen makeup & lash artist
Callie joined in 2014 and runs the studio's lash program — classic and hybrid extensions, lifts and tints. On wedding mornings she's usually the second artist keeping the bridesmaid chairs moving exactly on schedule.
Known for: the most gentle lash application in the county, according to at least forty Yelp reviews.
Jess Okafor & Hannah Reyes stylist & makeup artist
Our newest artists — "newest" meaning three and four years with us. Jess handles soft glam and Hollywood-wave styling; Hannah is the artist we send to brides who say "I never wear makeup" because her natural looks are undetectable and last twelve hours anyway.
Both assisted on twenty-plus weddings under Dana and Marisol before ever leading one. That's the house rule.
