The Dandilu team - India Savali, Shelbi Mallon-Reid, Payton Brown, and Haylee Refsland - are hands…read moredown a premier wedding hair/makeup team. My (the bride) lifelong dream as a bride was to become a princess for the day, and I worked closely with India who made that vision come alive for me. As someone who doesn't wear a lot of makeup on a daily basis, has very sensitive skin, and is very particular and picky with my makeup and hair, I definitely was worried about picking the "right" hair/makeup team and did not make it easy for India. However, from the trial, India instantly eased all of my concerns and went above and beyond to accommodate my needs. I can honestly say I was so blown away with the entire Dandilu team's work - I could not have been any happier with my hair and makeup, and all my bridesmaids, my mother, and the groom's mother all absolutely loved their looks, as well. And throughout the day, we all were receiving constant compliments on how amazing our hair and makeup were. My reaction when I saw my completed look was that it was absolutely flawless and perfect. India also made me feel so comfortable, such that I wasn't afraid to share any changes I had with the hair and makeup after the trial and the day of the wedding. In fact, the Dandilu team encouraged me and my bridesmaids to be honest and candid with our preferences to ensure we were all happy with our looks, and they implemented any changes we may have had (I believe there were only very minor suggested additions to the looks because they were already so perfect).
One of the things I loved about India (and the entire Dandilu team) was how collaborative she was - I showed India a few photos of ideas for my hair and makeup, explained my preferences and my concerns about my sensitive skin, and she not only listened and provided her expert suggestions, but she also far surpassed what I envisioned. The groom (who never notices a new makeup or hair look) even commented and was impressed with how good the bride's makeup and hair looked. Dandilu are all truly so talented and gifted, and just the sweetest people.
I also was so impressed with how efficient Dandilu was, while simultaneously prioritizing high work quality and attention to detail. Dandilu even stepped in to style the groom's hair, as well as curl one of the flower girl's hair at the last minute.
I am in awe of the stunning hair and makeup I received from Dandilu for our wedding. For anyone looking for a hair/makeup team for their wedding (or for any other event), Dandilu is absolutely the best choice. I also want to emphasize that each woman of Dandilu are genuine, bubbly, personable, kind-hearted, and all-around amazing people. Also after working with India for so long I'm bummed that I don't live in Montana and can't hang out with her on a regular basis.
I highly recommend Dandilu for hair/makeup, and we hope anyone reading this review gets a peace of mind in choosing them for your special day. I am so grateful we had the opportunity to work with them for our wedding.
