    For the Best Hair and Makeup, Hire AM Beauty!

    From the start of planning all the way to the end, AM beauty was incredibly professional and amazing to work with. The trial for my bridal hair and makeup was super professional and a great way to get to know the team. Ana and her team were amazing on wedding day. She gave us a beautiful outlined timeline and then was AHEAD of schedule. I have been a part of many weddings and hair and makeup almost never run on time, or even ahead of schedule. This allowed me to feel so relaxed on wedding day and be able to enjoy the process of watching everyone get ready. It also allowed for some extra time for a few quick toasts with bridesmaids and some extra photos. Seriously, hire Ana and her team. They do incredible work and are some of the best I've ever seen in the business! Thank you AM for giving me my dream scenario of getting ready on my wedding day!

    Amazing Team! Best in the DMV

    Norma has been amazing to work with, from the make-up trial to the wedding day itself, she has been very easing to talk to, was really listening with what my vision was for my look and and did great with the tweaks i requested. She was very professional and was on time. I received compliments all day about my HMU. Both my mother-in-law and MOH were also really impressed with how their HMU turned out.


    Ana was also really responsive when it comes to my questions and was very great at giving recommendations.

    Couldnt recommend them enough. And based on my own research when it comes to prices of HMU in the DMV area, they have one of the most reasonable.

    100000% Worth Every Penny

    Book these Makeup and hair artists!! My wedding day was outdoors with very high winds with up to 40mph gusts and my hair and makeup along with all of my bridesmaids survived the literal wind storm! Through the tears and watery eyes and the hair being tossed all over, we all came away with no smudges and curls intact! The makeup and hair survived the sweat and humidity of dancing as well, and was very long lasting, from 10am to 3am. Julianne and Laura were miracle workers and made us all look amazing, working with everything from different hair textures and thicknesses, to different skin tones. They were easy! BOOK THEM!!!

    Ana Merces Killed It!

    I had a large bridal party - 11 bridesmaids, 1 mother in law, and 2 of my younger cousins who all had their HMU done by AM Beauty group. First off, Ana was so quick with correspondence and clear with all instructions given. Second, her team was able to finish everyone between 7-11:45 AM - I have never seen such efficiency in such a small amount of time! Lastly, all my bridesmaids looked beautiful, and they all said they felt beautiful that day which was my only wish. I really appreciated that the makeup artists were people of color, as my group of Indian women had a wide variety of skin tones and hair types. Thank you for making my bridesmaids the prettiest girls in the room!

    Glam waves for days

    Really enjoyed working with Ana and her team. I had 12 adults and 2 flower girls receive hair and makeup on my wedding day, including me. Ana recommended 2 artists for hair and 2 artists for makeup. Everything ran smoothly and there was plenty of time for touch ups. My hair and makeup were exceptional. I did not need to use extensions for glam waves. My hair stayed the entire night and looked awesome with my side hair piece! I also loved how natural my makeup looked. The trial gave me confidence for day-of. Highly recommend working with AM Beauty Group!

    Thanks for helping us feel our best!

    Ana and her team made my day fabulous! Ana was so gracious during the hiring process, even hopping on the phone with me to answer questions and making tweaks to the contract when we had a switch in bridal party. What stood out to me is that at the trial, she suggested I wear my hair and make up for a full day to see how it held up and then to reach out with any feedback. I have naturally oily skin so I wasn’t surprised that I did get shiny fairly quickly with a full face of makeup, but she applied something magical on my face the day of our wedding and I did not have to touch it up once! No shine! Laura did my hair for the trial and gave clear directions for what kind of trim I needed to make the framing pieces out of my updo work and came up for a plan when I lost a little more hair in that trim than planned. They sent a detailed schedule with which artist was working with which girl at exactly what time. They stuck to this schedule, even offering to substitute girls when there was a small dress fiasco to keep us on schedule. As a member in other weddings, I’ve seen the day run behind due to hair and make up, but Ana and her team made sure that was not an issue! I’ve never felt as beautiful as my wedding day, thank you Ana and team!

    Incredible services!

    Ana and Laura did an incredible job with my bridal look - it came out even better than I could have imagined! I sent a few inspiration photos but let them take the lead and they did not disappoint. Their attention to detail, professionalism and kindness did not go unnoticed.

    AM Beauty Group is amazing!

    AM Beauty Group is the absolute best! Ana was very professional, responsive, and answered all my questions from booking to the final confirmations. I booked hair and makeup for the entire wedding party, for myself, my mom, maid of honor, and bridesmaids. Norma did our makeup and Liz did our hair. The bridal party members were so pleased with their hair and makeup, which lasted all day and all night! I was so happy to find Norma and Liz, who did an amazing job on my bridal hair and makeup. I felt so beautiful and so glam! This was our first time getting hair and makeup done professionally, so this made the experience that much more special. Without a doubt, I would definitely recommend AM Beauty Group to any bride considering hair and makeup for their wedding. Thank you AM Beauty Group!

    Dream Team

    I had an absolutely wonderful experience with Ana & her team. Ana was just so sweet to work with and made the process so easy. It was so nice being able to fully trust that they would ensure that my bridal party, the moms and my hair and makeup was perfect on my wedding day. They truly made getting ready a fun and stress free experience. Not to mention, you are all so so talented everyone was just stunning. Can't recommend them enough!

    They do magic!

    I hired Liz and Norma to do hair and makeup for the moms, bridesmaids, and me. Between the five of us, we cover a wide range of hair, skin tones and facial features, and they handled everything beautifully! Hair and makeup lasted all day for everyone, even with all the dancing. They were a pleasure to work with!

    Dream come true for the best day of my life!

    Ana and her team were exceptional to work with! From the moment I booked them as a vendor, the hair and makeup trial was exactly what I hoped it would be- they accommodated every request/inspiration I shared with them! Ana helped me navigate payment on her website and was super helpful. Fast forward to my wedding day. They were an absolute dream to work with. They accommodated my large group of 14 services! They were punctual, extremely professional and absolute sweethearts! Not to mention my hair and makeup was FLAWLESS!!! I was finished with my glam by 3:30pm for a 6pm ceremony (pictures before the ceremony) and I still looked fresh at midnight. The quality of their work was unmatched and the makeup was completely tearproof. 10/10 would recommend them for wedding glam and I hope to book them for another occasion in the future.

    Best bridal morning ever

    I cannot recommend Ana and her girls enough. From the trial to the day of look they were talented, responsive, kind, and understanding. I asked for a fairy princess look for my wedding and holy cow did they deliver. I have never felt to beautiful in my life with gorgeous lashes and rosy cheeks and MY HAIR! My hair was curled with half up half down braids and dried flowers laced in it. It was insane. On top of that I had like 10 or so girls get both hair and makeup done that morning (a big ask), and the ladies set up shop in my house and everyone looked so stunning. It made everyone feel really special. Can’t recommend enough - you cannot go wrong choosing Ana for your wedding day.

    Amazing service and I strongly recommend!

    Ana Merces and her team were responsible for make-up and hairr on my wedding day and it was just amazing! Their attention with me since the beginning when we were talking about ideas until my wedding day it was just unique. My make up and hair last was exactly how I expected to be and exactly how I asked for. They are just amazing!!

    Your search is done - you want Ana on your wedding team!

    If you are looking for a wedding style team that not only makes you (and your crew) LOOK beautiful, but also FEEL beautiful and celebrated, look no further! I cannot recommend Ana and her team enough. On my big day, Ana and Liz provided bridal hair and makeup, and bridesmaid makeup services. These two ladies were fantastic.

    For the bridal makeup look, Ana was extremely thoughtful and responsive to all of my questions and thoughts (for example, I told her that I was having issues with dry skin and she brought me a hydrating face mask for the morning of my wedding!). I have limited knowledge of makeup, but Ana was so easy to work with and very adeptly took my thoughts about my bridal look and translated it into the perfect presentation. She used high quality products and personalized the makeup regime to fit my specific skin needs and desired look.

    I have naturally curly hair and knew that I was in good hands as soon as I met Liz. She was so much fun to work with and a master at styling hair. I remember on my wedding morning, Liz commented that she had studied the photos that she took of my hair at the bridal trial and had a few ideas of small changes that would strengthen the look (the inspiration was a "Greek goddess"-type style that used my natural curls) and she was totally right! That kind of commitment to "getting it just right" and thoughtfulness from both her for my hair, and Ana for my makeup, is really what made these ladies exceptional stylists.

    Several of my bridesmaids and both mothers commented how much they loved their makeup done by Ana and Liz, and how much they appreciated that Ana and Liz actually listened to what their preferences were and provided looks that made them feel glamorous and comfortable, while still remaining within the general wedding aesthetic.

    Ana and Liz were also perfect on-site support on the day of the wedding. They were calm, fun, and worked quickly the whole morning. I also appreciated how flexible they were when the "getting ready schedule" got a little off schedule. They rolled with the last minute changes and provided a positive and affirming presence through the whole experience. They also followed very strict COVID and hygiene protocols, which made all of us feel very comfortable too. You will not regret booking this style team!!

    AMAZING! Highly recommend them!

    Finding a HMU team was probably one of the most stressful parts of planning my wedding. I did a trial with another group and hated it but thankfully, I found Ana and her team shortly afterward. I was very clear about what I wanted for makeup and they 100% delivered. I was between a few hairstyles and we worked together to figure out what I truly wanted and again, they delivered. TLDR I highly recommend this group and would 100% work with them again.

    I had a Catholic wedding, which unfortunately meant getting up early but Ana didn't make us get up unnecessarily early like several other groups said we'd need to, and she was happy to bring along several people to get the job done on time. In total, there were 9 people getting HMU services, including me. We started at 730am with 2 hairstylists and 2 makeup artists and were ready around 11am--right on schedule.

    I took Ana's advice beforehand and really focused on my skincare and it totally paid off. She and others couldn't stop commenting on how good my skin looked. Apparently, I was glowing--gotta love the compliments on a day like that! I ended up needing less coverage and my makeup looked great until I washed it off in the early hours of the next morning. I thought I'd sweat it off after dancing, but nope. Laura did my hair and again, she did a great job. It held up and wore so well throughout the day. I bought extensions and they really helped complete the look.

    I didn't catch the other team members' names/don't remember now because it's been several weeks, but I know everyone was super happy with the way their services turned out. Some people wanted full coverage MU, while others went for the natural look--the team listened to everyone before, during, and after to make sure they were truly happy and I really appreciated that, as did they.

    I found their prices to be super reasonable and their work to be amazing!

    Fantastic!

    I booked Ana and Laura for hair and make-up for my wedding and I couldn’t be happier! I loved my pre-trial and we just made 2 small changes for the big day. They were able to do hair and make-up for 6 of us the morning of my wedding and absolutely hit the nail on the head for the “soft glam” look. They did 4 of us in the bridal party and did the two moms with more mature skin. Everyone looked beautiful and loved the experience of getting all done up! In addition, all of us who got make-up done got to try false eyelashes which was just a fun little addition! I would definitely recommend booking with them (and book fast they filled up very quickly, I almost missed my own shot)!

    Makeup for Wedding and Wedding Reception

    I had a wedding and a wedding reception separately. My wedding I did my makeup with Ana and I my wedding reception makeup with Juliane. Both were completely perfect. They were best decisions I’ve done. It was incredibly perfect. Everyone said good things about. I would definitely use Ana Merces Beauty group again.

    Everyone on the team did a wonderful job. Sandy is such an artist with amazing makeup skills. She made everyone in my bridal party feel beautiful! Liz did such wonderful work on everyone! She listened to what we wanted and made our visions a reality. We all had different skin tones, textures, hairstyles and wants, but the ladies somehow made us all look perfect.
    On the business side of things they were so prompt. Showed up right on time, got started and stuck to our schedule perfectly.

    The BEST team that made us feel beautiful!

    I cannot recommend AM Beauty Group enough. Finding a hair and makeup team was my biggest vendor challenge during the wedding planning process. From their responsiveness to my initial inquiry, to my trial at their gorgeous glam studio to my wedding day, their artists and team were an absolute pleasure to work with!

    Juliette and Maria did my hair and makeup and achieved exactly what I was looking for! I usually do my own hair and makeup for the 8+ weddings I've been a bridesmaid in because I am so picky and they NAILED it. Juliette does such incredible skin prep that was absolutely foundational to a long lasting makeup look that sat on my skin perfectly! This is SO hard to find with makeup artists! Maria took the time to learn my hair type and styled it exactly how I wanted it (a down-do which I had trouble finding portfolios for!)

    My mother, mother in law, bridesmaids and flower girls looked and felt beautiful on my wedding day - all ranging from women who don't wear makeup at all to those who are great at doing their own glam. Plus, they were such a calming, lovely presence in my bridal suite!!

    I can't recommend AM Beauty Group enough to my fellow brides!

    Amazing and Accommodating

    We loved having Ana and her team on our special day! They were so calm, relaxed, and very personable. They did such an amazing job that two extra people wanted their makeup done because it looked so beautiful. Ana was kind enough to fit them in!

    Happy and beautiful bridal party

    Liz and Sandy were our team for my bridal party on my wedding day and they did such a good job!! My bridesmaids were all very happy with their final look- even the one who is more of a tomboy and had reservations was happy and she can be hard to please sometimes. Liz did both my hair and make up and as someone who never wears make up she made me feel beautiful while still feeling natural. I highly recommend this team and will be using them for future local events where I want a little more zhuzh. They also finished all of us right on schedule.

Made everything very smooth! Hair and makeup lasted all afternoon/night and looked amazing in our photos. Will definitely be using them again!

    Felt so beautiful

    Ana and her team were amazing! They put up with me being almost an hour late to my trial and still took their time to make sure my look was what I wanted. They took photos at the trial to remember how to re-create the look and took notes on changes to make for the day of. On the day of, they arrived on time. They would have finished on time if we had not added one person for hair/makeup at the last minute (this was the one thing I wish they had done differently - they told us there was enough time to squeeze another person in but in reality it put us an hour behind schedule so it probably would have been best if they just refused.) But, I can’t fault them too much for trying to make everyone happy. Overall, I had a great experience with Ana and her team and would highly recommend! Me and my bridesmaids felt so beautiful.

    I felt fabulous on my special day!

    I booked Ana Merces’s services for my civil ceremony. Ana was wonderful from start to finish as my MUA. Part of her team and hairstylist, Elizabeth Perez, was there for my hair design. It was a nice surprise to have two professionals come to my house, as I was only expecting one when I first booked. I was glad to have them both, because my makeup and hair design was finished earlier than expected. I felt relaxed, enjoyed my time, and did not need rush before leaving my house. They both genuinely care about their brides. Their skills and expertise show through their amazing work. Ana, who is the owner and lead makeup artist, listens and works with you beforehand to understand your vision for your special day. They were both very kind and professional, and any bride who hires Ana Merces’s services will feel comfortable and at ease. 

    Thank you so much Ana and Elizabeth!
