I've had a pleasure of working with Ali twice- the first time as a bridesmaid at a friends wedding and the second, as the bride (11/18). The first time, I was impressed with how beautiful she made every bridesmaid look and feel, and so I asked her to do my glam for my big day. Ali is always delightful and puts anyone at ease with her radiant personality. Her work is stunning- Makeup is flawless and stays put all day/night long. I got so many compliments on my updo and I think it was due to her attention to detail and knowledge of different hair types. She listens to each woman's vision, but trust her as she is very talented and experienced in what looks good in person and in pictures. Trust me, you won't go wrong with Ali by your side!

Our wedding planner and I came across Ali's work in the Washingtonian and loved how natural her brides looked. I cannot express how fortunate I feel that Ali was available to be my hair and make up stylist on our wedding day. Ali was so positive, patient, and was effortlessly able to make my entire wedding party (including the Moms) feel and look their best. During the trial phase, Ali was so accessible and was happy to try different looks for this uncertain bride, so that the wedding day was stress-free. On top of being incredibly professional, prompt, and talented, Ali is just a wonderful person who everyone loved being around. Upon request, I have given Ali's contact info to several brides-to-be already!! I cannot rave enough.

Ali is as sweet as can be! We met up before my wedding for a trial run and I ended up leaving her home feeling like I had just been hanging out with one of my best girlfriends. It was so wonderful seeing her again on the morning of my wedding and I knew I was in great hands!

Ali Wear is not only an incredible woman inside and out, she is a creative designer that executes perfection. Her eye on style trends and communication to her bride are beyond compare. If you want to feel like a celebrity on your wedding day, book Ali today! Not only did Ali listen to exactly what my thoughts were for my hair and make-up she intuitively knew what I was trying to achieve for the big day. She arrived at my parents home with a calm presence and after she set up her tools, she put on this lovely music with a Parisian tonality, which set this beautiful calmness on the morning. I was enjoying every moment and next thing I knew, my flat fine hair had volume with a gorgeous braided chignon! All of my friends and family were so impressed! I love showing off my hair in my photos every chance I get!

Not only did Ali provide me with a beautifully calming experience, I felt nothing less than fantastic. She is a designer with so much talent and skill. Not only did she make me feel like a gorgeous bride, she also did the calligraphy of my place cards for all of my guests. She can truly do it all! Search no further, Ali is your designer extraordinaire!

Ali did the hair and makeup look for my wedding day even better than I had imagined it! Not only was she on time for all the bridesmaid appointments and my own, she was incredibly gracious and professional. She is so kind-hearted and bubbly that you immediately click with her as if she is one of the bridesmaids herself. She does such flawless, elegant and sturdy updos - everyone's style stayed perfectly secure through the entire wedding night of dancing! The makeup showed beautifully in all the photos that we will have forever. I highly recommend Ali and her quality of work!

I can't say enough what a pleasure it was to work w. Ali. I have incredibly thick hair that I am very particular about so I was nervous when it came time to select a hair stylist. I've never really had a good experience in the past. Upon meeting Ali for my trial, she put me right at ease and knew exactly what to do w. all my hair. I explained the look I was going for and she made it happen! I explained to her that I wasn't sure whether to put my hair up or down and she was so accommodating- she offered to meet me at my venue after the ceremony that she could style my hair differently for the reception. She really wants to make sure her brides look their best and knows how to deliver on that. Ali is WONDERFUL and I can't recommend her highly enough. Talent aside, she is so fun to talk to and has a way about her that puts you at ease. Hire Ali- she is the best!

Ali is the BEST. Randomly it is really hard to find someone who does both hair and makeup, let alone at an affordable price, and Ali checks all these blocks. She is so much fun, which is pretty important when you are very nervous right before your big moment! I really appreciated how much she listened - she made me feel like a glammed up and extra beautiful version of myself, not like I was in a costume or wearing tons and tons of stage makeup. If you are looking for someone to create a beautiful, natural look, Ali is your girl. I really cannot say enough how awesome she was!

Ali was so easy to work with and did I mention she's super talented! Everyone's hair looked fantastic!! The hair trial was fun and provided not only an opportunity to play with hair but also to get to know Ali. She also provided sage wedding day advice that came in handy. Highly recommend!!

Ali is nothing short of FABULOUS!!!

Ali is the best makeup artist I have ever worked with. I've worked with her on numerous weddings and would continue to recommend her to clients looking for a makeup artist. I am a Chicago wedding photographer myself but always look forward to working with Ali when I head out east. I'll hire her for my own wedding day someday.

Rebekah J. Murray Photography Rebekah J. Murray Photography Wedding Photographers

I photographed a wedding that Ali did hair and makeup for, and she was amazing! There were SO many bridesmaids and we were short on time, but she managed to finish everyone while never appearing stressed or impatient at all. It was one of those really sweet getting ready times, and all the girls looked stunning.
