Booking with Bella Bethesda was an easy process in a soothing venue with really expert-level results. My wife and I don’t usually wear makeup, which meant we were bound to feel a little uncomfortable, but Beca and Kal made us feel relaxed, excited, and also just like glamorous glowing versions of ourselves. I didn’t know what to expect, but I loved my hair and makeup and they lasted all day and night through veil going on and off, intense DC humidity, eating and drinking, and tons of dancing!

Bella Bethesda Salon and it’s talented Bridal Coordination Team provided outstanding beauty services for my daughter’s recent wedding. Their flexibility in coming early to assist with the tight timeline our planner had created for the day-of was so appreciated by all. Marea, Julia, and Beca did an amazing job as they listened carefully and accommodated each and every request. The entire bridal party was very pleased and looked absolutely stunning! I can’t thank them enough for their help in making the day so special! Bella Bethesda has my highest recommendation.

Rebecca was the best! I was nervous about getting my hair done for me wedding - I have true salon phobia and generally do not like other people touching my hair. I sucked it up to get a professional to help me on my wedding day, and Rebecca made it easy as pie. She listened to my questions and preferences, looked at photos of my dress, and turned my blah hairstyle into something beautiful - so beautiful that I kept it up after my hair trial to wear on a date with my fiancee. She also worked magic on my bridesmaids, both of whom have curly hair and were also nervous about getting their hair done. Both of them said they had never had a better hairstyling experience before. Rebecca is a true professional. Thank you for helping me look amazing on my wedding day!

I used Bella Bethesda for hair and make-up for my wedding this past weekend. Rebecca did the hair and Amanda did the make-up. They both did a phenomenal job, not just with me, but with the mothers and sisters who also got their hair and make-up done. Everyone looked like a beautiful version of themselves - the hair wasn't too big and the make-up wasn't too heavy. They also both arrived on time and we were ahead of schedule all day, which was great. Ashlyn was also very responsive to all my emails throughout the planning process. I highly recommend Bella Bethesda, Rebecca and Amanda!

Bella Bethesda did a wonderful job for my wedding! Ashlyn was very helpful and prompt in scheduling hair and make-up appointments for myself and my 5 bridesmaids. I came in a month and a half before my wedding for hair and makeup trials. Everyone was very warm and welcoming. Nicole listened to my ideas and styled my hair beautifully and just as I requested (a half up-do with curls and braids). Gloria also did a beautiful job on my makeup (natural and romantic). On the day of my wedding, the salon allowed me to bring in breakfast for my bridesmaids. The salon also graciously provided coffee, tea, and water for everyone. Nicole and Kristian did my bridesmaids' hair and they both did a wonderful job. They kept everyone on schedule, styled hair as requested, and helped bridesmaids who didn't know what style they wanted. Gloria and Nicole did an excellent job on my hair and makeup which lasted well throughout the day and evening. The salon also gave me a little bag with hairspray and lipgloss before I left - very sweet. Their prices were also affordable compared to other options available. Overall, I was very pleased and highly recommend them!

I used Kristian for my updo and Amanda for my makeup and was incredibly happy! I did a full trial and came back on the wedding day with a few requests and they both worked hard and made me feel beautiful. The pricing was also great - I couldn't bear to pay some of the prices I was seeing elsewhere. Overall, a very happy bride!

Tanya did my hair (she even came in early!) and Gloria did my makeup, and they both worked together to make me look and feel beautiful on my wedding day. It was even more special because Tanya has been cutting my hair for seven or eight years so, even without a bridal party, I could spend time with a friend while I was getting ready.

Katie at Bella did my hair and Gloria did my makeup for my wedding day. We did brief consults but not full trials before the wedding day. Everything went great. Katie was a hair wizard. I showed her a picture of penelope cruz with a side chignon and Katie made my hair even more beautiful than the picture. I got compliments all night on my hair. She also provided me with great advice on using fake flowers instead of real ones in my hair. Gloria also was very attentive to the fact that I did not want to be too made up. I think I ended up looking like a more beautiful version of myself rather than a Kardashian.

Many thanks to Bella team for making my daughter's wedding day spectacular. Hair and makeup appointments were timely with beautiful results. The bride was radiant - all day. Bridesmaids and mother of the bride were beautiful. Many thanks for great services.

Bella Salon was terrific. Their bridal consultant, Amanda, is super helpful and responsive -- after our initial conversation, she helped me set up a makeup trial and created a color-coded day-of service schedule for me, four bridesmaids and two mothers. The salon itself is bright and pleasant, with friendly staff who even put up a "good luck" sign for me at the front desk!

For both my trial and wedding day services, I worked with Tania. She took my inspiration photos and created an updo and makeup that was me, but "bridal." I was a little worried about trying false eyelashes, but she was so right -- they were perfect for photos! The rest of my party worked with Gloria (makeup), Kristian (hair) and Rebecca (hair), and everyone looked fantastic.
