Great experience from beginning to end

My bridal artistry team (Norma, Sondra and Mandy) were simply amazing. My mom and I had the best time during our trials and that feeling just continued throughout the wedding day. They were extremely responsive, answering all my questions leading up to the wedding, quickly and fully. On the day, we had so much fun with them and they managed to get through 9 people’s hair and makeup before noon (on time) with seaming ease. My makeup and hair lasted the entire day, over 14 hours, and I felt great. I cannot thank them enough for being such an integral part of our wedding day. It was magical and they played a huge part in that.

Must Use Bridal Artistry DC!

I had the most AMAZING experience working with Bridal Artistry DC for my wedding! Barb was really easy to work with to set everything up and very accommodating with my large bridal party (8 Bridesmaids, 2 Junior Bridesmaids, 2 Flower Girls and 2 moms)!! Nora and Sondra did such a great job accommodating everyone's hair style wishes while Norma and Stephanie perfectly executed the natural make-up look we all wanted. Scheduling a trial was easy and Nora and Norma help me try many style varieties until we locked down the perfect look for my big day. Overall, their flexibility, responsiveness, straightforward pricing, flawless execution made this such a great experience. Everyone's hair and make-up held up the entire evening despite DC summer heat and LOTS of dancing! Everyone even got to keep a lipstick for touch ups! I HIGHLY recommend booking with them for you wedding or any big event!

Bridal and Wedding Party Hair and Makeup

I was so happy with our experience with Bridal Artistry for my October Wedding (Norma for hair and Sondra for makeup). They were both so friendly, flexible and professional. They took feedback so graciously and made adjustments based on my bridal trial and even in real time. They made me feel comfortable and confident and made sure my final look was exactly what I envisioned. Multiple members of my wedding part commented on how this was the best wedding hair and makeup experience they’ve had. Overall, couldn’t have been happier especially with how affordable it was compared to other DC area vendors! Would highly recommend!

Heidi Gracie Shea was the best!

Heidi Shea in Leesburg, VA was the artist who did my hair. She did a fabulous job. I went to her home in Leesburg a few months before my wedding to do a hair trial. My hair is very long and thin and does not easily hold curls. Learning from the trial we were able to make adjustments for the day of the wedding and it held perfectly from 11:00 a.m. all the way until I showered after hours of dancing and having a wonderful time at my wedding. She was very responsive and kind throughout the whole process. She came to the hotel where we were staying any getting ready on the day of the wedding and was right on time. I did my own makeup but Heidi did my mother and mother-in-law's makeup and hair. They both looked beautiful and like themselves as opposed to looking over the top with makeup. My hair was perfect for a perfect wedding thanks to Heidi!

Amazing wedding HMU!

Thanks to Bridal Artistry, I felt like an absolute princess throughout my wedding weekend! My husband and I had a 2-day half Indian wedding, and Mandy and Nora did my hair and makeup both days including head jewelry and extensions. They did beyond amazing!!! I received so many compliments on both days and loved how everything turned out! During the trial, they tried the looks for both days and worked with me to make sure it came out exactly how I wanted. They also did amazing hair and makeup for my bridesmaids, mom, and MIL! All of my bridesmaids had Indian head jewelry as well, and Mandy was able to incorporate it into their hairstyles beautifully. I truly can't thank them enough for making us all feel so beautiful!!

AMAZING Experience!!

I rarely write reviews but I had such a phenomenal experience with Sondra, Stephanie and Barbara! I loved my hair and makeup and they stayed perfect the whole night. They helped me find a last minute photographer when I ran into an issue with who I had lined up. And they were super fun and it was great to have them around while getting ready. I can't say enough good things!

Amazing experience (Sondra & Stephanie)

I worked with Sondra and Stephanie for my wedding and they were truly amazing! During my hair and makeup trial they helped me think about what look I wanted and were willing to try different styles until we found the right one. On the day of my wedding, they were very prompt, extremely professional, and fun! My bridesmaids and I felt so beautiful! I would highly recommend working with Bridal Artistry!

A Look that Truly Lasted ALL Day

I was truly blown away by the hair and makeup team that Bridal Artistry provided me for my wedding day. Mandy did both my hair and makeup and it was better than I could have ever envisioned. I truly felt like a princess. My hair and makeup was done by 10 in the morning and at 3am at the afterparty it still looked like she had just done it - not a hair out of place despite my endless dancing! (Photo included below.)

In addition to me, my bridesmaids, mom, and mother-in-law all looked equally fantastic! Everyone was happy with both their hair and their makeup.

Bridal Artistry was easy to work with and the owner, Barbara, consistently communicated with me to make sure everything was going great.

The best!!

I'm so grateful that I worked with Bridal Artistry, and would recommend them to all brides. I worked with Barbara initially for booking and payment and she was very responsive and answered all my questions. For hair and makeup, I worked with Stephanie and Jacinda, and they did an absolutely amazing job making my vision come to life. I had an idea of what I wanted, and they made me look exactly how I'd imagined. It was great to have the chance to do a hair/makeup trial as well. They also did hair and makeup for my bridesmaids, mom and MIL, and everyone raved about what a great job they did. On top of that, Jacinda and Stephanie brought such a great energy to our wedding morning! Would highly recommend Bridal Artistry to all brides!!

We had so much fun!

My bridesmaids and I don't wear makeup or do our hair often, and was looking for a more natural look. Jacinda (hair) & Nora (MU) understood the assignment and made it easy to look beautiful for the wedding and still feel like ourselves. What I didn't expect what how much fun Jacinda and Nora would be. Being around their positive, easy going, understanding personalities kicked off the wedding day on a good not. It put me at ease knowing that they have it handled. Plus they were extremely punctual and got us all ready right on time.

My mom wanted to make some adjustments to her hairstyle, but didn't know how to communicate it. Jacinda allowed my mom to use her tools to try to do it. After patiently watching, Jacinda quickly understood what my mom wanted, and took care of it! It could have been a stressful moment, especially with the language barrier, but Jacinda observation skills and kindness really made a difference.

I highly recommend 100%!
