Great Experience!

After having to cancel my original wedding in Florida, I had to scramble to plan a new one in Virginia on a shorter timeline. I reached out to several hair and make-up artists around Gainesville, and Brooke was very responsive and reasonably priced, so I booked her to do mine and my MOH's hair and make-up. Due to the short timeline, I opted not to do a trial which I was initially nervous about, but I sent pictures to Brooke ahead of time and she planned to arrive early give us plenty of time on the day-of. My MOH and I were very happy with how everything turned out! Brooke was awesome and I highly recommend her services!

Highly recommend Brooke! Thoughtful, Kind, and Talented Hair and Makeup Artist

I recently got married at Rust Manor House in Leesburg, VA, and I’m so grateful that Brooke could be part of my big day. Brooke is such a thoughtful and talented hair and makeup artist! She helped me feel so confident and beautiful, and really took into consideration the inspiration pictures I shared and what we talked through at the trial. I’m so impressed with how she complemented my Southeast Asian features and really brought the final look together (a soft glam look with a half-up, half-down hairstyle!).

Not only is she amazing at what she does, Brooke is also creative, communicative, and very supportive. She brought an assistant to help with the professional hair and makeup services for myself, 6 bridesmaids, and 3 moms. Additionally, she was there bright and early so that each person could get their glam done. She truly was a key part of the day and helped us stay on schedule for couples portraits, wedding party pictures, and family portraits. I can’t say thank you enough!

To other brides, I’d highly recommend Brooke. She’s passionate (and incredibly gifted) at what she does. Thank you so much for making me feel like my best self on my wedding day!

An Incredible Makeup and Hair Artist

Brooke is an exceptional talent as a wedding hair and makeup artist left me speechless - my look was radiant, flawless and exactly what I envisioned for my big day. Beyond her incredible skills, Brooke's calm, professional demeanor and quick thinking, especially she saved my day with my dress zipper issue, made her a true hero of the wedding. Her passion and dedication shone through all details, making me feel confident and pretty. Thank you for making my day unforgettable.

Perfect natural glam

Brooke was lovely to work with. I did a trial for my bridal shower, and on the day of the wedding, gave Brooke the edits I wanted. She delivered exactly what I had envisioned! My father-in-law (who only says things if he means it) commented on how impressed he was with my makeup multiple times on my wedding day. If you are a minimal-makeup gal like me, or want a naturally-elevated look for your wedding, Brooke is a great fit! Easy to talk to and her pricing was the most affordable I've seen, while still delivering high-quality services. Thank you Brooke!!!

An Expert in Everything!

Brooke was absolutely amazing. After my trial, we were able to determine a better game plan for my wedding day which helped my look last all night! She serviced myself, two of my bridal party, and two moms and each one of us looked fantastic! We all had different looks, but they all turned out 10/10. The conversation and vibes were also great. Thank you, Brooke!

Great Experience with Brooke!

I had the pleasure of working with Brooke on my wedding day, and I couldn't be more pleased with the experience. She was incredibly organized and efficient from start to finish, making the whole process smooth and stress-free.

My hair and makeup were flawless and lasted all day, even through the emotional moments and dancing! I also appreciated how quickly she worked without sacrificing quality, ensuring that everything was done on schedule. Brooke did seven hair and makeups in 5 hours!

If you are looking for a talented and dependable hair and makeup artist, I highly recommend Brooke. They made me feel like the best version of myself on my special day, and I couldn't have asked for a better experience.

Dream Bridal Look

So glad I found Brooke to do my hair and makeup for my wedding this past November. Brooke managed to deal with my thick frizzy curly hair and created my dream bridal look. Brooke was the first person I found to actually not say why not just straighten your hair. I was able to show my natural curls with the style Brooke did with showing no frizz! Brooke and her partner did a great job with getting my large wedding party done on-time for pictures. Everyone loved their hairstyle and make up. I got so many compliments on my hair and makeup. If you are having a northern VA or DC wedding, make sure to get Brooke for your hair and makeup!

Great hair and makeup

Brooke did an excellent job with my hair and makeup on my step-daughter's wedding day. She was on time (early even!) and was fun to work with. She was responsive to things that I wanted to do differently after my trial, understood what I was looking for and made good suggestions on how to get there. My hair stayed looking great through more than 12 hours of the day, and I got several compliments on it. Thank you, Brooke!!

Amazing Job!

Brooke truly exceeded our expectations for my wedding day! She created beautiful hair and makeup looks for me, my bridesmaids, and even my mom over our two-day celebration. Despite the varied styles for each ceremony, from a traditional Cambodian updo to a romantic Catholic half-up, Brooke effortlessly nailed each one. She was very professional, showed up on time, and ensured we all felt our best and stress-free throughout the morning. I loved my hair and makeup, and all of my ladies looked absolutely stunning. Thank you, Brooke!

Brooke is a wonderful hair and makeup artist

Brooke did my hair and makeup trial for my wedding on 10/21/23 and did an amazing job. Unfortunately, due to an emergency, she was unable to do my final hair/makeup on my wedding day, but recommended Erika to take over on the day of (who did an absolutely wonderful job!). Both ladies were excellent, friendly, courteous and helped me have the most special day. I definitely recommend Brooke and her team's services for your wedding day.
