    Perfect hair & makeup

    I absolutely recommend Darling & Dapper for wedding hair/makeup for any bride and bridal party. Liz is calm and patient. Her team are professional but were fun to spend during the wedding morning. They traveled quite a distance for our wedding and absolutely made me feel comfortable during the entire time while making sure I felt my best and looked amazing. Thank you!!

    Easy and Beautiful On-Site HMU

    I booked Darling and Dapper for on-site hair and makeup for my bridal party and myself via a recommendation from my coordinator, and I was so incredibly pleased with their services. Liz, the owner, was great to work with while I was planning and made things really easy on me as an out of state bride. When the day arrived, my bridesmaids and I had a blast in the bridal suite with Trin styling our hair and Monica doing our makeup. Both artists were professional, but also great to have around. They listened to what each of my bridesmaids wanted and gave each unique, stunning looks. My hair and makeup were flawless, exactly what I asked for, and photographed beautifully. I really can’t say enough about how great Darling and Dapper and their stylists are!

    Liz and Taylor -Dynamic Duo

    Darling and Dapper was a delight to work with during our big day! Liz is one of the most responsive, helpful, and organized vendors in the biz. She helped me every step of the way and answered every tiny question I had with diligence and professionalism. Taylor did my hair and some of my bridesmaids the day of. It held ALL DAY (and I have trouble with my hair holding). I went for a whimsical curly braid and loved it. You're in good hands with this team! (Note- Taylor also did my color a few days before the wedding!)

    What a great company!!

    Liz, the coordinator was absolutely incredible. She was so easy to communicate with, helped me decide what I needed for my wedding day, and gave me tons of resources! I will definitely recommend her to all of my engaged friends, and will be visiting her in the future!

    Absolutely perfect!

    I am SO glad I chose Darling & Daper for my wedding. They were so fun to work with and extremely efficient. My bridesmaids loved their hair/makeup and mine was so much better than I had even imagined! I absolutely loved it.

    Exceptional

    We hired Darling & Dapper for our September 2023 wedding and WOW did they crush it! About a month out, I decided I also wanted my hair and makeup done for the rehearsal. Two days before our wedding, we found out that a tropical storm would be closing our venue on our big day. I asked Liz and Monica if we could use my rehearsal appointments for full bridal hair and makeup to get a first look in at our original venue (The Chrysler Museum of Art) the day before the storm and of course, they said yes with zero hesitation. I felt so lucky to feel so glammed up and beautiful two days in a row. In the chaos and sadness of losing our dream venue 48 hours before our big day, I felt my most calm and at peace when I was in the chair with Liz and Monica. My 8 bridesmaids, mom, mother in law, and grandmother all said the same on wedding day - we love Darling & Dapper!

    Love Darling and Dapper!!

    I found them on here and they have been godsends! Liz did my hair and makeup for my wedding day, and Liz and Taylor did my wedding party's hair and makeup, and everyone looked FLAWLESS! I also booked other services through Darling and Dapper, and I feel so pampered and welcomed every time! They even squeezed my now husband in for his wedding haircut a few days before, and on short notice!! Liz was very communicative, helped edit my contract many times when I had numbers change, and was beyond calming and supportive on the day! They are wizards of beauty!!!

    Professional, fun, and extremely talented artists!

    I booked Darling and Dapper for on-site hair and makeup for my wedding via a recommendation from my coordinator, and could not have felt more beautiful on the wedding day! Liz, the owner, was very responsive and so easy to communicate with during the planning process. Trin styled my hair and makeup and did hair for my bridal party, and Anna did makeup for my bridal party. Both were extremely professional and great energy to be around, as we enjoyed a relaxed and fun morning in the bridal suite. Both are truly gifted, and everyone's hair and makeup came out looking stunning and photographed beautifully. Truly the best experience, thank you so much!!

    Wedding Hair Dreams

    Liz did such an awesome job with not only my hair but with all of my bridesmaids and mom!
    I'm not picky but she came up with a beautiful hairstyle for me on my wedding day and did exactly what my bridesmaids asked for.
    Classical beautiful hair and she made it look effortless and it stayed all evening!
    I go to Darling and Dapper for all of my events and I have never been let down, no matter who is doing my hair, it's perfect every time!

    Wedding hair and makeup 10/29/22

    Mimi, Anna and Kate were a fantastic team for wedding hair and makeup for myself, my bridal party and the mothers. They came to the location where we were getting ready which was so convenient. They are all so talented and everyone was beyond amazed at how their hair and makeup turned out. The girls were so sweet, easy to talk to and happy to make adjustments to anything that was requested. They stayed on time (even ahead of schedule) and we all felt so beautiful for this special day. I would happily recommend them to anyone needing event hair and makeup

    Darling, Dapper, and Delightful!

    We are so happy we chose Darling and Dapper to style us for our big day! We loved working with Liz to set everything up. She was wonderful in working with us to reschedule our wedding date several times due to COVID, and throughout the entire planning process she was extremely communicative. Whenever we had questions, she was always happy to give us a prompt reply. In addition, we had 2 brides, 6 bridesmaids, and 2 MOBs, so our getting ready timeline was scheduled to start pretty early. When we asked Liz if we could add a 3rd stylist so we could start a little later, she worked hard to accommodate us! Our 3 stylists were Taylor, Dominique, and Trinity, all of whom were delightful to work with! They were all talented and extremely professional as well as speedy! Because of their efficiency, we were able to relax knowing we wouldn't have to rush to get everyone ready on time. They all were great at listening and understanding everyone's individual image and were able to give everyone exactly what they asked for! Every member of the bridal party looked and felt amazing!

    Great work and military style organization

    Why I chose her team
    Their style looked and the reviews told a story of a team of highly professional artists that can keep your wedding timeline on track, which I needed with 13 people!
    Why I am glad I did
    Aside from how much we all loved our hair and makeup, they worked so fast we could get 13 girls done for 1pm finish time and didn’t have to start until 9am! They run a tight ship without sacrificing ANY quality. They provided touch ups and altered a style for my bridesmaid when she decided she didn’t like her hair in her face. They can do almost anything you want, the makeup quality is top notch (stayed on all night of dancing and drinking) and my haor stayed in place all night. I had them come to our hotel but I think they offer a room on site at their saloon if you want your wedding party to all be together in a private space to have fun while you get ready. I cant recommend enough!

    Best Hair & Makeup For A Wedding!

    Liz was super responsive to my emails and answered any questions I had. I was able to get a free trial of my choice of hair or makeup because Darling and Dapper are a preferred vendor with our venue Lesner Inn. Even without the discount, Darling and Dapper was still very affordable compared to others in the area. I recommend having a trial so you’ll get to know your stylists for the day. The original hair stylist that my 2 bridesmaids and I had for the trial wasn’t able to do the wedding and was replaced with Jessica. Jessica was able to replicate all of our hair styles, and if I say so myself, they were even better! We had Sarah for makeup and she really knows how to make you look like you while still being glam. My inspiration was Kate Middleton’s wedding look and many of my guests got that vibe! Sarah and Jessica really made me look like a princess. Everyone kept telling us how great our hair and makeup looked. Our hair and makeup lasted all day with no touch ups (I had an 11am-3pm wedding, but we started just before 7am) and my pictures turned out amazing. Liz and her team are really the best!

    Made My Vintage Glam Bridal Vision a Reality!

    I can't begin to thank Liz, Sadie, and the other lovely ladies at Darling and Dapper for the spectacular job they did on my and my bridal party's hair and makeup for both my engagement and wedding photos! Liz's makeup is IMPECCABLE, stays on for days if you want it to, and she's clearly comfortable with both dewy natural looks, and bigtime full glam; whatever you want; she's got you. I wanted an odd split between a structured 1950's sculptured look, and a more 1930's finger wave, with the ability to stick a veil and comb in, and Liz and her team split the difference beautifully, graciously worked with my last-minute clip-in extensions, and truly made me feel like a princess at their studio, complete with champagne. She accommodated me like I was a major client, even with a very small party, and her price is fantastic considering the high quality results her work produces. Will definitely rebook for any future occasions where I need to be the center of attention, and want to feel fantastic being there ;)

    Sarah and Cheryl are AMAZING!

    If you are looking for someone to help you feel like a gorgeous goddess on your wedding day.. look no further! Sarah and Cheryl made my bridal party and I feel amazing. They were helping me calm my nerves once I started getting anxious. They both gave me exactly what I was looking for and more. They are the sweetest! I HIGHLY recommend Darling and Dapper as a bridal studio and hair salon!

    Beautiful Results!

    I used Darling and Dapper for both my Engagement Shoot and my Wedding. I had 14 women in my bridal party who all wanted their hair done, and about 9 who wanted their make-up done as well (including myself). I was originally very nervous about this because I knew it would be a tall order. However, I was BLOWN AWAY by Darling and Dapper's efficiency and pace. They created a very thorough timeline to make sure every person knew where she needed to be and when. They were even ahead of schedule most of the time ensuring all our hair and make-up was done way in advance of the deadline we had. I loved working with all of them and every.single.one of my ladies looked STUNNING. For my Engagement Shoot Sarah came up to D.C. at 5:00am in the morning to make sure I looked perfect for our sunrise photos. These ladies are the best and I am so so so glad I got to work with them!

    Simply the Best with the Best!! Liz you are everything and a bag of chips!!

    I was so nervous about finding a stylist. I have never worn makeup; my hair is not very manageable, so I am the only one that does it. And, then I came across Darling and Dapper. What can I say besides Liz is absolutely amazing. Her compassion and patience were greatly needed for I have not had my hair touched by anyone in years. Liz made me feel relax which I did not think was possible, her spirit and passion for what she loves was made even more obvious once I entered her studio. I had to make many changes due to the pandemic, but you worked with me through it all. Thank you for being a part of such a special time. If you want to have a worry-free beauty experience, I highly recommend!!

    Darling & Dapper's reply:

    Oh my goodness! We're thrilled we met all of your expectations, and we are so happy we got to be a part of your big day! We're so excited to keep working with you! Thank you so much for your lovely review!

    Perfect Makeup Experience!

    Darling and Dapper was fantastic to work with for my wedding 6/2020. There were multiple changes to my wedding due to COVID and they were so easy and accommodating throughout the entire process. She always responded to my emails very quickly! I was able to work with the same person for my trial and at the wedding which was great and Sarah came right to my wedding venue! All of the girls looked so great and got so many compliments on their makeup throughout the night. I am extremely happy with the service and highly recommend them!

    Darling & Dapper's reply:

    Ohmigoodness, this makes my heart so happy - congratulations!! And thank you so much for being as sweet and gorgeous as you are

    Hair and Makeup That Made All the Ladies Feel Special

    Wedding planning during COVID was interesting for brides and vendors. Liz Darling of Darling & Dapper was not only professional and flexible, but she was also a great cheerleader. We postponed the wedding twice but ultimately pulled off a fabulous wedding! When all 11 bridesmaids wanted their hair and make up done for the wedding, we were at a loss on how to get everyone done in one day and for a reasonable price. A referral to Darling & Dapper solved that conundrum immediately. We contacted Liz and she put together a plan that included the bride, 11 bridesmaids, the mother of the bride and the mother of the groom. The bride and the maid of honor did a trial at the salon, but all of the others met their makeup artist and hair stylist for the first time on the day of the wedding. The artists/stylists arrived early and set up for the day. They moved smoothly from one person to the next. They engaged with each person to discuss their preferences and made suggestions when asked. They worked from 10:15 AM until 3 PM and then did touch ups so everyone looked beautiful for the wedding! Compliments continue to roll in from friends and family. Many thanks to Liz and her staff for being a part of our daughter’s special day!

    I had 5 bridesmaids and myself and everyone looked fantastic. We had Cheryl to do our hair and Aubrey to do our makeup and they did everything exactly how we asked. All of the girls picked their own up dos and they looked almost identical to the pictures the showed Cheryl! They were very fun and pleasant to work with as well. Liz set up the appointment and contract for me and she was amazing to work. Everything was organized and on a timeline and I felt very relaxed knowing that everything was under control.
