About

Hi everyone! As you may know my name is Marlene Ayala, Im from Sacramento California but i've been in Arizona all my life! I like to say i'm from California to sound cool to be completely honest! Anyways, let me start from the beginning.. Let's just say i followed my mother’s footsteps as she was also a hair stylist and salon owner, Given the opportunity in high school I was able to complete the cosmetology program where i soon found out my passion for makeup. At 18 I began freelancing and was offered to work in NYC for the IMTAS! I worked as a stylist with DUH. After this opportunity it opened the doors for me as i was able to work with photographers, makeup artists, company's and brides! After some time I became a Sephora Beauty advisor and learned all about product knowledge & fell more in love with the beauty industry! After a few months I decided to leave Sephora to follow my love for makeup and became a full time makeup artist! After 3 years of doing makeup full time i am happy to say I've been able to work with amazing designers, actresses, singers, magazines, company's and have made life long besties! (Which i have to admit is the BEST part!). Now, let me stop talking about myself.. I want to get to know YOU! I am fully invested in making you feel the best you have ever felt no matter the occasion! I'm so excited to work with you!


XOXO,
Marlene

Hands down best MUA

Omg!!! Marlene is the best of the best! Five stars is not enough. I have had my makeup done by several celebrity mua in LA and Marlene was by far the best. She was so prompt and prepared and she made me feel so beautiful. I have never been so happy with my makeup. She matched my skin perfectly. I wouldn’t change a thing. She also did my hair. Usually I would be skeptical of someone doing multiple services, but Marlene was so well versed in beauty and you can tell she was raised around it. She was so knowledgeable my hair and makeup lasted all day. The mermaid waves were so beautiful and they held up amazing. She is such a sweet soul you are missing out if you don’t book with her.

Marlene is incredible!

I had my engagement and bridal trial hair and makeup. I cannot wait for her to work her magic on my wedding day. Not only is Marlene incredibly talented, she makes you feel so comfortable and beautiful! She is a great listener, knows exactly what style you are aiming for and ensures you are happy with the result. I cannot recommend her enough. She is an expert both for hair and makeup!

Book marlene right away!

Where do I even begin with Marlene?! If you are a bride, the first thing you should do after you get engaged is lock in your date with Marlene, and you will NOT be disappointed. Marlene is the best in the valley for hair and makeup, she made me feel the most beautiful I have ever felt, multiple times. I had her for my engagement shoot glam, welcome party glam and of course, my wedding day glam. Plus a few trials! Marlene listens to you and is a perfectionist when it comes to making sure you look absolutely stunning. She is warm, kind and fun to be around - I need an event so I can book her again! She also made my mom, sister, MIL and aunt look so stunning for our big day! Marlene, thank you for everything! You are the best and I will forever refer you to everyone I know!
