Janet is such a sweetheart and so wonderful to work with! It was a relief to find a hair and makeup artist that understood my style and aesthetic. I love that she was able to create such a natural effortless look for my wedding day. On the day of the wedding, her calm vibe kept me sane and she made me look amazing! All my bridesmaids loved their hair and makeup as well and were amazed at how affordable her services were for the quality. I'm just sad that I don't have an excuse to have my hair and makeup done by Janet more often.

Janet is a SUPERSTAR! She is so accommodating and talented, with perfect hair/makeup recommendations that fit our face shapes and makeup preferences. She was professional and pleasant - I was VERY impressed. She handled 4 bridesmaids and the bride herself! I highly recommend her to brides looking for that flawless professionalism and execution. :) Thanks Janet!

I absolutely love Be.NYLA's look! They are a group of such talented hair and makeup artists. Janet, the owner, is such a sweetheart! And she is so amazingly great at her art. She and Paige were our hair & makeup artists for my wedding this past May 2016 and we couldn't have asked for better artists/stylists. I knew I wanted BeNYLA from the beginning! They arrived at our venue on time, dolled me and my bridesmaids up, and were just super great to work with. When Janet was done with my hair & makeup, I said "I wished I could look like this EVERYDAY!" And I wish

Janet and Paige did my makeup and hair for my bridesmaid's and I on my wedding day. They did such an incredible job every girl was so happy with their results.
Janet also squeezed in my mom and little cousin last minute and made sure everyone was done on time when they needed to be. Janet kept me calm and collected during the whole process and I never felt more beautiful than on my wedding day. I highly recommend them for any event.

Never looked more beautiful than on my wedding day thanks to Janet! I was referred to her from a friend. She spent a lot of time with me during my trial and totally translated my direction. The day of she was on time and did an amazing job on both my hair and makeup. I will definitely recommend her and I can't wait to find an excuse to hire her again!

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 fianc didn't recognize. It wasn't too cakey or heavy, but was enough to look great in photos

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
