bring it with you and we will use it when we apply your makeup.

all skin tones and hair types/textures.
Q: I’m not sure what I want my hair / makeup to look like. Can you help?
A: Yes absolutely! We’re excited to help you shine at the Miss New York USA | Teen USA pageant! To ensure your hair and makeup reflect your best self, we’ve curated a selection of inspiration photos. These looks are chosen to highlight styles that complement your unique features and elevate your overall presence. We encourage you to select a look from these options, as they are designed to enhance your natural beauty and ensure you feel confident on stage. Inspiration photos for both hair and makeup will be available when you check in for your appointment. You will be able to take a photo on your cell phone of the looks you like best to show to your makeup artist & hair stylist
Q: Are you able to blow dry my hair if I come with it wet or partially wet?
A: NO. While we do have enough time to style everyone’s hair, we do NOT have time to blow dry contestant’s hair. It is IMPERATIVE that you come to your appointment with FULLY dry / smooth hair.
Q: Can I choose my own hair style?
A: Of course! That said, our stylists will not be doing updos or blowouts. Updos are not ideal hairstyles for pageants. You want the judges focused on your face, not the back of your head. Stylists can curl, wave or straighten your hair and then style it. Recommended styles are as follows: Down curls, Hollywood waves, Half Up/Half Down and Ponytails.
Q: What do I do if I have clip in extensions?
A: If you know how to put your clip in extensions in, please do so before you arrive to the hair & makeup room. If you do not have experience with clip in extensions, bring them with you and we will put them in for you.
Q: Can I change my look in between the Activewear (Teen) | Swim (Miss) competitions and the Gown competition?
A: No. The look that you leave the room with is the look that you will wear for the duration of the competition. We will not have time to change hair or makeup styles in between competitions. If you want to change your look from Prelims to Finals, we can absolutely style you differently the following day. That said, it is recommended to keep a similar look,
so the judges will recognize and remember you!
Q: I have more questions…Who can I ask?
A: If you have additional questions, please email us at: Dameliopageantteam@gmail.com
Someone will get back to you within 48 hours.
