Client reviews

  • Elana Edwards – Villiersdorp. “Thank you Donna! You made me look absolutely beautiful on a very special day. Great service, awesome person. I can definitely recommend you.”

  • Carla Snyman – Oudebosch Eco Cabins. “Donna did an excellent job with my bridal makeup, and also with my moms – we both felt beautiful. She was easy to communicate with and very responsive and accomodating even though the location we got ready at, the beautiful Oudebosch eco-cabins in the Kogelberg Nature Reserve between Bettys Bay and Kleinmond, was out of range and a slight challenge to vavigate. Thank you Donna.

Her attention to detail, creativity, reliability and ability to bring out the natural beauty in each client never ceases to amaze me.

Donna is extremely professional and very talented. She certainly delivered. Everyone at the wedding commented on our hair and makeup. We were more than happy with the results. Will definitely recommend Donna.”

  • Rheba La Grange – Pringle Bay. “Donna is an amazing makeup artist in Betty’s Bay. She helped me out for a Matric Farewell (I’m based in Pringle Bay but she drove to my place) and did a stunning job! I would highly recommend using her. She creates a relaxed atmosphere and she knows what she’s doing. 10/10 for Donna!”

  • Karien SaaimanJUST FRAME ME PHOTOGRAPHY. “I had the pleasure of working with Donna for my 40th birthday photoshoot, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. She was professional and incredibly talented. She listened to my preferences and created a look that was exactly what I had envisioned!! Not only did she make me look beautiful, but she also made me feel confident and comfortable throughout the entire process. Her attention to detail and skillful application techniques truly sets her apart from other makeup artists I have worked with in the past. I received so many compliments on my makeup that day, and I owe it all to her expertise!! I will definitely be recommending her to all of my friends and family for their special events. Thank you again, Donna, for making me feel like a million bucks on such an important day!”

  • Taylor Holmes – Koring ‘n Kaf, Betty’s Bay. “My mother and I had the most wonderful experience with Donna. She’s so passionate about what she does and really wants to create a memorable experience for you. We had the makeup trial at her cosy bungalow in Betty’s Bay. Which was amazing to be able to have such an incredible view. Donna really listened to what we wanted whilst also showing us all our options and letting us play around with what made us feel the best. For the wedding she was also incredible – coming through to our home in Betty’s Bay at 5am and touching us up when needed for the photos. Would definitely recommend her services.”

  • Marita Snyman – Oudebosch Eco Cabins. “Donna is an excellent makeup artist! She made me look beautiful for my role as mother of the bride. Donna is very professional, friendly and precise. The makeup lasted for hours through tears, rain and dancing. I am so glad to have met Donna!”

  • Shona Tolken – Arabella Hotel and Spa. “Donna is brilliant and very friendly! As I am someone who does only basics when it comes to hair and makeup, she put me right at ease with a formal look for a function held at Arabella! Would recommend her over and over again!”

  • Teresa Van Rensburg. Betty’s Bay. “My daughter, also Donna, and myself had the most amazing Saturday morning with Donna Hay in her most gorgeous cottage in the scenic Betty’s Bay, The view of the mountains from her house is breathtaking. She spent so much time showing us the techniques applying makeup to suit each of our ages which is 22 and 54. I was not aware that I could look that pretty, so I’m inspired. Donna takes care, pride and gives as much time as you need as she imparts her vast and artistic knowledge.”

Donna is honestly one of the best makeup artists I know, she is kind-hearted, has a sweet soul, and is truly amazing in what she does. I definitely recommend her for your next makeup look, she knows exactly what you want and how you want it done. One of the best makeup artists you will find in Kleinmond.”

  • Carly Fredericks – Kleinmond. “I’m from Kleinmond. She did my makeup and hair for my Matric Ball photoshoot the day before, and also on the Big DAY!! I would definitely recommend her to others. She takes your inspo and transforms it into a look that flatters your features perfectly, and makes it 100 times better. She absolutely nailed it! Her work was flawless, it lasted all night without touch-ups. I go so many compliments. Thank you for making me feel so beautiful!”

  • Suzette Vorster – Photographer (Yzerfontein). “Donna has been my makeup artist of choice for a few years now. As a headshot photographer, it is of utmost importance for me that each client has a positive experience while in my studio. Donna’s kindness and obviously caring personality helps every client to feel at ease very early on in the process and throughout the photoshoot. She establishes trust very quickly and communicates effectively to create beautiful yet natural looks without fail. Her excellent understanding of how her work translates on a photograph is a rare skill that only adds to the ease of each session. Donna is easy to work with and has an unquestionable work ethic. I have only had positive feedback from my clients. Her work is creative, precise and she will make you feel and look like a goddess for a day! It is with absolute confidence that I recommend her as a professional hair and makeup artist, able to create a diverse range of styles and looks. She is a skillful artist and a wonderful person. “
