Vietnamese-Indian Wedding May 2024

My 3-days wedding weekend would not have been possible without Teresa and her talented DC Elite Image team. My biggest thank you to Teresa, Phrenchie, Sharon, Katrina, Karina, Victoria, and Melissa for your flexibility and artistic talent! Teresa and Phrenchie were flexible with doing my trial wedding hair/makeup in both Washington DC and southern California, a few months before the wedding. During the wedding weekend, the team travelled to 3 different locations to assist us with getting ready for 4 events over 3 days (including 2 back-to-back days of starting at 4-5 AM). They brought energy, optimism, big smiles, calming presence, an absolute hair and makeup magic! Teresa and Sharon's bridal makeup looks were perfection, enhanced my monolid eyes, was 100% sweat and waterproof (even in 90-degrees weather). Phrenchie and Katrina were delightful to work with, and they created the most beautiful textured updo, voluminous waves, Rapunzel braid, and Hollywood curls. I had so much fun with the artists in creating my different looks for the 4 events, which ranged from natural romantic to whimsical to Hollywood glam. The team was comfortable with adapting styles to my multi-cultural wedding, and made everyone in my ethnically diverse wedding party look gorgeous.

What an amazing team!

Teresa and her team are stellar! My best friend had used their services for her wedding 2 years ago, and I loved their work, so I reached out to them for my wedding, as well, and I was lucky enough to book them despite their very busy schedule. For my wedding, I had Teresa and Angie for make-up, and Phrenchie for hair. Teresa is very meticulous and makes the whole experience super enjoyable, Angie is very sweet and even made time to do touch-ups for all the girls, and Phrenchie is awesome because she's super fast and will literally take a Pinterest inspiration photo and turn your hair into magic! I only wish I could have another wedding celebration so I could use them again!

2 in 1 - Hair & Makeup DONE

Very impressed! Celthia did my makeup and Jacqui did my hair. I had a great feeling about both of them, from the start. Very experienced and really took their time to ensure that I was 100% with the looks of both. Celthia did a great job listening to me while providing great feedback at my trial and Jacqui invited me in for a complimentary blow out the day before my wedding - which was perfect for me to be able to have my hair done for my Rehearsal dinner while also ensuring it was prepped for the next day. Very easy to coordinate everything from start to finish. Highly recommend DC Elite Image !

100% recommend Teresa and her team!

My experience with DC Elite Image by Teresa Foss Beauty was truly a dream come true. Teresa and her team surpassed every expectation I could have hoped for to achieve flawless HMU for my wedding. Finding the right HMU team for my wedding gave me a lot of anxiety. But Teresa and her team did not disappoint -- they are truly masters at their craft and I recommend them to anyone seeking high quality HMU services. I tend to break out and have skin reactions to new products, so I sincerely appreciated the advice given and high quality products used to help ensure my skin remained radiant and healthy pre/post wedding. Thank you Teresa and team for making me feel and look my best on my wedding day.

I have never felt as beautiful as I did on my wedding/reception day! Teresa made my perfect wedding even more special. She is extremely talented, personal, professional, punctual, easy to talk to and definitely knows her craft well. My skin looked flawless, she is a true artist and knows how to apply makeup so that it will flatter your features. She's done both a dramatic look and a natural look on me but, either way, she's just great at enhancing a person's true beauty. She did my bridal party as well as my mother's and we never felt rushed. I still get complements till this day about how fantastic we all look! She really is the best at what she does and I loved her work so much I have hired her for several of my other events. You will not be disappointed!

Teresa is absolutely amazing! She did an amazing job with both the trial and my day-of makeup, listening exactly to the minor adjustments I wanted to make. I felt absolutely beautiful, and very confident in taking photos (which was a big deal for me, because I usually do not like how I look in photos). I wish I could have Teresa do my makeup everyday!

Even more than my makeup, I have to say Teresa made my wedding day magical with the way she did my Mom's makeup. My mom was more relaxed while chatting with Teresa than I have seen her in years. Teresa was great dealing with the fact my mom was wearing a hat to have her makeup done since she wears a wig otherwise. My mom looked absolutely amazing, and absolutely glowed that day. Teresa really hit it out of the park, and I would strongly recommend her to anyone looking to have their makeup professionally done for any occasion.

Teresa was great to work with. She was very professional but at the same time it was as if she had been working with me, my bridal party, and the mothers for years. Teresa and her assistant made everyone look absolutely stunning and it was very affordable, which is VERY hard to come by in this area. I would most definitely use Teresa for another event!

I have worked alongside Teresa, with DC Elite Image, on a couple of weddings and have been impressed each time. She is always timely, efficient, easy to work with, and she is incredible at bringing out the natural beauty in each of the brides and bridesmaids we've worked with. She knows the industry very well and will do everything in her power to make you look and feel as beautiful as you are!
