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.

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!

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!

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!

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 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.
