Janet was so incredible. She did the hair and makeup for me, my sister and I for my wedding. She really listened to what we wanted and made us feel so special and beautiful. I really wanted a more natural look, and she delivered! Janet was a joy to work with and I would highly recommend her! read more

Janet did my hair and makeup for my wedding last year. She was super nice and organized. My bridesmaids loved her team. She did a great job on my makeup and keeping it very natural looking but unfortunately I was not happy with my hair. I requested the glam curls, which looked like regular curls and were not uniform like the pictures I showed her. They also did not last very long, which is extremely important since you get your hair done many hours before your wedding. I definitely recommend Janet for makeup but not hair if you're requesting the glam curls look read more

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. read more

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! read more

I am testifying that Janet made my fiance 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. read more

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 ombre. After looking at my hair, she suggested I do a sombre (softer ombre) 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. read more

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! read more

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! read more

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! read more

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! read more

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. :) read more

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 Yelp 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. read more

If you are looking for a bridal hair/makeup stylist, look no further. I found Janet on Yelp 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 1/2 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. read more

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. read more

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 ;) read more

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! read more

This review is long overdue.....! I've been coming to these ladies for years! I get my hair styled, colored, and cut by DIANE and I completely trust her with my LIFE! I leave it up to her when it comes to what new look I should have and whether or not it would look good on me. DIANE and JANET are incredibly talented and will go out of their way to make you feel at home. If you have a specific idea of what you want they will listen and work to make everything exactly what you want. The atmosphere is great and everyone is fun to talk to--you'll hardly even notice the time! (if you're like me I tend to get very antsy after a while) ;) So if you're looking for a stylist that will make you look and feel hot, sexy, and sophisticated then I highly recommend Be.NYLA Brides. Worth the price!!!! read more

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. read more

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! =) read more

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 :). read more

Be NYLA is in a very cool downtown LA space with 2 very stylish girls! Diane is AMAZING! I wanted something drastic and she eased me into it and I love what she did with my hair! I finally found a hair stylist of my own! read more

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! read more

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! read more

Janet came as a referral from a makeup artists I use and I couldn't be happier! I needed not only a haircut but a full new look and Janet spent time before to truly understand what I wanted and then she did it! I love my new cut and style!! I would highly recommend her. read more

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 fiance, 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! read more

Be NYLA is the best in make up, hair and styling. Janet and Diane have done my hair and make up many, many times, whether it be as a bridesmaid or just for a night out or whenever I need a haircut. They are sooo talented, professional and passionate! They are good at highlighting your best features, recommending what would looks good on you, and showing you how to maintain your look. read more

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 :) read more

It was my birthday and wanted to look wonderful & sexy. Janet did my make and hair for my summer birthday. I wore it up in a cute messy bun & smokey golden make up. Janet was very receptive when I brought my own face make up. Janet was on time, experienced, friendly & professional. The facilities & her tools are clean. The location is very easy to get to in DTLA. I would recommend them & would use again in the near future. read more

I'm so happy and impressed I found my new hair stylist!!!!!! I have been going to the same salon in the past years and I have a difficult time finding the right hair dresser to cut, color and style my hair. I stuck with the same person for a while because my hair is very thick and curly, and the lady I go to also had the same or similar type of hair so she understood my situation. Anyway, she was good but never wanted to do other styles on my hair or go outside of her comfort zone, so she would always style my hair the same if not the color the cut would be the same, nothing fun and trying new styles... again due to my hair type. So my best friend recommended me to check out Be.NYLA and told me from her experience with the talented, lovely stylist Janet... she was AMAZED at her work and her expertise. I couldn't pass this opportunity up, so I called Be.NYLA and made my appointment without even feeling scared or worried about getting a bad haircut and color. WOW can I say the studio was just beautiful, clean, very modern and just a nice comfortable feeling to be in great hands! I LOVE LOVE LOVE my new look, I wanted my hair lighter and a new cut, I was overdue. JANET throughly looked at my hair, told me what she feels would be good for me and suggested high-lights and cut to get my hair back to its healthy shape again. I automatically was just like I have a good feeling about her work and saw many pictures of her work, and heard great experiences from other gals....I just Trusted her! I would definitely recommend coming to Be.NYLA, you will feel beautiful and gorgeous leaving this salon! read more

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 read more

Janet did my makeup for my wedding and she did an amazing job! She was super fun to work with and is extremely talented. She worked closely with me on my look and went above an beyond to make me look beautiful on my bid day. I highly recommend her for any event and will hopefully work with her again! read more

I have a hard time finding a person that is able to cut and color my hair with results that are perfect to me. The person that normally cuts my hair has moved out of the country, and I have not gotten my hair cut or colored for an entire year, for fear of a bad haircut.. At Be.NYLA I found exactly what I was looking for! The studio is in Downtown L.A, which is a little ways for me 30-40 minutes, I live in Calabasas but the drive is well worth the trip. The studio is clean and modern. I felt that it was very nice and inviting too. I saw on Facebook that they were running their monthly specials, the one I chose was free hair cut with any color service. So I decided to take advantage of it. First, I left a comment on their page, and asked if it is for Brides only, Janet got back to me immediately and told me that it is for everyone.(Everyone should know, that even though Brides is in the name she does hair and makeup for everyone). I booked an appointment with Janet for the following week. I was so excited, after seeing her work from their Facebook page I had a good feeling that my hair would be in good hands... I went in for my appointment, explained what I wanted, summer toned highlights and beachy looking cut. I have weird hair, its straight in the front, and wavy in the back, one side of my head is a little thicker, and after being washed it could get thick and look wide... I let Janet know about my hair issues, she really listened, and was very confident to cut and color my hair. I felt that she understood everything I had to say. She was extremely experienced and got the job done exactly as I wanted my hair to look in the end. She really took a lot of time with my hair. As she was cutting and styling I could tell that she really takes pride in her work, and will not stop until it is perfect. JANET IS SUCH A TALENTED STYLIST!!! When she was finished I looked at the mirror and said "Wow, I feel soo pretty" I could not be more pleased with my hair cut and color... I am happy to say that I have found someone that I will trust with my hair, and I will definitely be back here. read more

Gorgeous, modern, chic, yet comfortable environment! And the owners, Diane & Janet, are amazing!!!!!! Got my hair dyed and cut by Janet and couldn't be happier! I will definitely be frequenting be.nyla! And hopefully will be returning for bridal services in the near future ;) read more

Janet and Paige did all the hair + makeup for my wedding, and they totally nailed the effortless bridal look. They created a timeline and got everyone ready on schedule, and it was fun to get pampered in the hotel room. All of us looked very natural and felt beautiful. I wish Janet could do my hair everyday, it's never looked better. Thanks Be.NYLA! read more

Janet & Diane are two incredibly talented girls w/ a natural eye for make-up & hair. They are incredibly talented, creative, and not to mention passionate about their work. You will also fall in love w/ their amazing personalities and sense of humor, definitely making the time go by fast! They have been in charge of my hair & make-up for 10+ years!! This includes my engagement, trial, and wedding sessions. I have to say my pictures turned out amazing on my wedding day and most importantly, my husband was extremely pleased with all outcomes (side note: he's extremely picky & doesn't like the overdone look). Their team was professional and accommodating at all times. I couldn't have asked for anything more. If you are looking for make-up/hair artists who produces beautiful and creative looks, is fabulous to work with and delivers exactly what you want, then there is no one better than Janet/Diane!!! I highly recommend Diane & Janet for any special occasion! BEautiful!! read more

Always a great experience! Diane always delivers a look that is flattering as well as fashion forward. And I love how it still feels like me when she's done :) Diane is the best! I started going to Diane for haircuts after my previous hairstylist moved to the bay area. From the 1st haircut I was impressed! She gave me a great cut that framed my face well (I feel I have a round baby face) and was so modern. From then on we've played with different styles (I get bored easily) and she always teaches me how to maintain the look at home so I don't get that post-salon disappointment when I do it myself And she's excellent at make-up too. She did hair and makeup for the entire bridal party for my sister's wedding and the pictures came out great. I got so many compliments from friends and coworkers. Everyone felt great and you could tell in the pics. She did the bridesmaids as well as mothers for both sides All in all, a great stylist! And friendly personality. I highly recommend her! read more

I highly recommend getting your hair/makeup done at Be.NYLA!! Also, they are as good as it gets when it comes to wedding services! Janet had been cutting and coloring my hair for years in NYC up until she just went back to LA, she is really the only person I trust with these things. A few years ago I had her take my hair from pretty long to very short and I absolutely loved what she did. She is so talented in many ways and has such a great eye for a look that will suit you perfectly. Whether you want something elegant, funky or simple, she can do it all! Janet is also a very extremely talented makeup artist, her work is always stunning. I am moving to LA in a few months and I can't wait to have her as my hair stylist again! You can definitely trust Be.NYLA to do an amazing job and I can guarantee you will leave very happy with your results :) read more

When it comes to make-up and hair I'm so lost in the dark! I'm so glad to have found my very own personal make-up/hairstylist. Diane has done me up on several occasions and has always achieved the look I was aiming for. Depending on the occasion she had given me the soft look or the dramatic effect. When I got married, I had a destination wedding and I was so worried and confused about what I should do. She had done a trial on me and also helped put together a kit to take with me. Not only I got a trial done, she also provided a make-up tutorial 101 and shared some helpful tips AND tricks!!! If you are a future bride OR someone seeking to do you up for a special day, be.NYLA Brides is definitely the place to consider! read more

Janet is the best. I request a haircut from her whenever she's in New York and it's time for one and she gives me the best cuts. Although recently I went to Bumble & Bumble with my twin sister to get a hair cut, only because she was visiting me and Janet was out of town. It was amazing to see the difference of a hair cut. My cuts from Janet always look so much better then a salon hair cut. Even the finish and style is more customized and unique to my face. So now I've tested it and I know Janet is my go to gal. read more

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 I had Janet as my personal hair & makeup artist every day...seriously. Thank you, Be.NYLA for making us all look great for photos that I'll be treasuring forever! read more
