Dani is a fantastic hair stylist, and I enjoyed every minute of my haircut today. She really made…read moreme feel relaxed and pampered. Her cut was very cute, and she made sure to ask details along the way and make sure we were on the same page. I always enjoy a good shampoo... but her scalp massage was literally the best thing that has ever happened to me. And yes, I'll admit I dosed off during the blow out, she really puts you at ease and is an expert worth waiting for. Note: Dani did call back when I left a message to try and schedule ...but I found their website/online booking worked better for me... ( a Groupon too- I know they charge a no refund deposit but I just asked her to just add on a treatment or product/whatever) Way worth it! 10/10 would visit again!

She's a very professional, friendly, kind, and well rounded stylist who specializes in just about everything. And I do mean EVERYTHING. I had a wig made and colored by a previous hairstylist and decided that I wanted to have the wig cut into a bob and dyed black. Her price was reasonable and the quality of the hair dye used was great. My wig stayed jet black for months! If you're looking for a professional stylist to do your make up and/or hair, definitely contact her.

I found Ashley's information and called her at 6AM! She answered! And she was super nice, did I mention ut was 6AM on Saturday?! Anyway she agreed to do do my makeup and i headed over. Because this was so last minute I didn't put any crazy demands on what look I wanted. I sent a few pictures of some looks that I liked and just prayed I didn't look crazy. We arrived and she was very sweet as well as professional. She did my makeup faster than I expected but by no means did she skimp on quality. When she was done and handed me the mirror I had my "fake thank you smile" ready. When I looked in the mirror I almost cried. IT WAS PERFECTION! I stared at myself all day long. If you need a makeup artist I would recommend her services a hundred times over! She saved my day and I am forever grateful

For the longest…read moretime, I kept things pretty simple, I would get a basic eyebrow wax and usually saved makeup and lashes for special occasions. I remember telling Tymia that I was going on a girls' trip and planned to get my usual brow wax. She immediately encouraged me to step it up a little. After all, I was going on a girls' trip! She suggested that I get my lashes done and try brow mapping and tinting for a more polished, glamorous look. I trusted her judgment, and I'm so glad I did! The difference was amazing. My brows went from simply looking nicely waxed to looking fabulous. Between my brows and lashes, my entire look was elevated, and I absolutely loved how I looked in my pictures. I often tease Tymia and tell her she did that "Mia Magic," but that really is the best way to describe it! Tymia also does an amazing job with individual lashes. I had always been a little apprehensive about lash extensions, but she completely took that apprehension away. They are so comfortable that I literally forget I have lashes on. What I really appreciate is that she listens to what you want and customizes your lashes to fit your personal style. I'm pretty conservative and prefer a very natural look, but I still want my eyes to look brighter and more polished. I also have dark circles, and I've found that lashes really brighten my eye area and make such a difference. Mia gives me just enough glamour without ever making me feel overdone. Whether she's doing my brows, lashes, or makeup, she knows how to enhance my features while still making me look like myself. That's the Mia Magic!

She is an extremely talented Baltimore makeup artist and bridal makeup artist, but what stood out just as much as her talent was how much she genuinely cared about my wife and the entire bridal party. From the beginning, Tymia was professional, punctual, organized, calming, and easy to communicate with. She made everyone feel comfortable, and as the wedding got closer, we only became more confident that we had chosen the right person. You can truly feel the love and passion she has for what she does. And then there's her technical skill--unmatched. The makeup was natural but polished, photo-ready, and long-lasting, and she did an amazing job working with the diverse skin tones in our bridal party. Everyone looked incredible without looking overdone. She handled the bridal party makeup beautifully and made the entire on-location makeup experience smooth and stress-free. When people saw my wife and the bridal party, one of the first questions we kept hearing was, "Who did their makeup?!" That alone says everything. If you're looking for a professional bridal makeup artist in Baltimore with great communication, amazing customer service, and the ability to make everyone feel and look their best, I highly recommend Tymia. She played a special part in making an already unforgettable day even more beautiful. 10/10 experience!
