Wedding Hair & Makeup in District of Columbia

I can’t recommend Valthentic enough! She did my hair and makeup for my wedding, and I felt absolutely beautiful. She listened to exactly what I wanted, paid attention to every detail, and made sure everything lasted all day. Not only is she incredibly talented, but she also made me feel calm and confident on such a special day. If you’re looking for someone who truly cares and does amazing work, she’s the one. Thank you for making me feel like the best version of myself on my wedding day!

I picked PriscillaM because I have curly hair and a darker skin tone. PriscillaM made it extremely easy to find everything on their website and creating and updating the schedules was super easy with the team’s help. They made it easy also to plan a trial and Mirna and Angenae were a great glam team for the wedding. They were organized, quick, and made changes as requested. The whole bridal party looked amazing, including multiple hair textures and skin tones.

I truly can’t say enough about Teresa and her team at DC Elite Image. From coordinating logistics and scheduling the trial to the wedding day itself, everything was seamless and so easy. They are extremely professional but also warm and fun to be around, which made the entire experience feel relaxed and special. One thing I highly recommend to brides is doing a trial. Even with an incredibly talented team, it’s so helpful to refine the look based on your personal preferences and Teresa and Phrenchie were amazing at listening/adjusting. They really took the time to understand my style and the overall vibe I wanted. On the wedding day, they brought such a calm, positive energy that set the tone for the whole morning. Teresa and Phrenchie truly worked their magic and I’ve honestly never felt so beautiful, while still feeling completely like myself, just elevated. Walking into my wedding feeling that confident was such a gift. If you’re considering booking DC Elite Image, do it. Teresa and her team are talented, thoughtful, and genuinely care about making you feel your absolute best. I’m so grateful they were part of my day!!

I had my wedding in late May and Asal was truly exceptional! She did such a phenomenal job with hair and make up and helped make the process seamless. Asal also created a really helpful schedule ahead of time that made everything easier the day of. She is so talented and kind and truly went above and beyond anything I could ever ask for. If you have a wedding or special event I would 100% recommend Asal.

I reached out to Tani because I had severe eczema and TSW, and I wanted someone who could relate and take care of my skin on my special day. She went above and beyond to address my needs and assured me with constant communication. Nomeda spent so much time on my hair, didn’t charge me for extensions, and was so flexible with me changing my hair day-of. Angenae did a great job with my girls’ hair. This team is kind, professional, and VERY efficient. They did 18 services in 5 hours! Incredible!!

I cannot recommend Tamar C Makeup enough! My wedding makeup was absolutely flawless and exactly what I dreamed of. Tamar has such an incredible talent for making you feel beautiful while still looking completely like yourself. My makeup felt so lightweight and natural — never heavy or cakey — yet somehow still looked perfectly flawless all day long. Everything photographed beautifully and lasted through every tear, hug, and moment of the wedding day. Not only is she insanely talented, but she is also so calming, professional, and wonderful to be around during such an important day. I truly felt my most confident and beautiful because of her work. There honestly wasn’t a single thing I would have changed. Absolutely perfect experience from start to finish!

I had THE BEST experience with BFF not once, not twice, but THREE times! After being a bridesmaid in two previous weddings where they did our hair and makeup, there was absolutely no question who I would trust with my own special day. From start to finish, their communication was flawless—quick, clear, concise, and completely stress-free. Even when I had a few minor hiccups and last-minute changes, the team was right there to support me every single step of the way. When I saw my final look in the mirror on my wedding day, I instantly burst into tears. I have never felt more beautiful, confident, or genuinely cared for in my entire life. I am endlessly grateful to the entire BFF crew—especially Daisy, Heather, Kara, and Meg—for being the perfect mix of professional, fun, and kind throughout the entire process. I would recommend BFF a million times over to absolutely anyone!

I hired Perry and his team to do makeup and hair for my entire bridal party, and he exceeded every expectation. Perry and his team of four worked on about 20 people the day of, including a diverse mix of ethnicities (East Asian, Indian, White) and genders (men, women, and non-binary folks), and everyone looked absolutely stunning. Perry went above and beyond before the wedding, offering an extensive consultation to make sure I’d look and feel my best. He even came by in person to assess the “getting ready” space and plan the setup in advance, which made the wedding morning incredibly smooth. Everyone was ready right on time, and my mom was nearly in tears - she said she hadn’t felt that beautiful in years. Perry has such a warm and calming presence, which made all the difference. On your wedding day, the person doing your hair and makeup is truly the one you spend those intimate, emotional hours before the wedding with - and I was so grateful it was him. He even came along to our photoshoot on the National Mall to keep my makeup and hair perfect, fluff my train, and make sure every shot looked incredible. He stayed by my side until the very moment I walked down the aisle. My makeup stayed flawless from sun up to well past sun down. I don’t know how he does it - the man is a genius. If you’re considering hiring Perry Warren, do it. You won’t regret it.

Alina is an effective communicator who made scheduling easy. Antonina did my wedding makeup, and she knocked it out of the park! My makeup looked as good at midnight as it did at noon. Sweatproof, waterproof, everything. Plus, Antonina's calming presence helped me feel relaxed on my wedding morning. I highly recommend doing a trial. The trial allowed Antonina and I to figure out all the details like my preferred blush color and placement, how many lashes to use, etc., so on the big day, I simply just relax and feel pampered.

You will not regret choosing Natalya for hair and makeup on your wedding day! She is an incredible artist, and an even lovelier person. From the very first discussion, I was confident about her professionalism, experience, vision, and disposition. Her prices are very fair, which is just the first of many green flags that shows you can trust her and that she cares a lot about her clients. On the wedding day, she arrived perfectly on time and her calm and warm demeanor set the tone for a truly unforgettable day. She was patient with a variety of different personalities in my wedding party, listening and executing in a manner that every single one of us felt so beautiful and confident on the day. I changed my vision between my trial and the wedding day, and she immediately knew exactly what I was looking for, and the final outcome was flawless. The hair and makeup is the first thing you do on your wedding day, and it truly does set the tone for how the rest of the day will go - so it's important that you have the right fit (both in personality and execution) with your hair and makeup team. Natalya and her makeup assistant Rebecca were the perfect team to make that happen for me, and I will always be so thankful I chose Natalya to help me kick off the perfect wedding day!
