DC Elite Image by Teresa Foss Beauty

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.

This was my second time having DC Elite image do my hair and makeup! I was lucky enough to be a bridesmaid in a wedding who had this company. After seeing how our hair and makeup lasted the day well into the night I knew I wanted them for my own wedding. After reaching out I was able to book Angie and Sarah who I had for my own makeup and hair, respectively. Since we had quite a few bridesmaids we also got Victoria! Most of my bridesmaids are low maintenance, not much done to their hair or with makeup, and the team made everyone look glammed up but natural. I am not a huge makeup fan myself but after it's on it feels so light and definitely lasted well until the 4AM after party! In addition to the hair and makeup being amazing, everyone is really nice and makes the day just feel more comfortable! Highly recommend for anyone looking for hair and makeup for their wedding in the area. Also, love that it's woman owned!!! Thank you so much for helping us look great!

I truly can’t say enough about Teresa and her team at DC Elite Image. From coordinating logistics and scheduling the trial to the wedding day itself, everything was seamless and so easy. They are extremely professional but also warm and fun to be around, which made the entire experience feel relaxed and special.

One thing I highly recommend to brides is doing a trial. Even with an incredibly talented team, it’s so helpful to refine the look based on your personal preferences and Teresa and Phrenchie were amazing at listening/adjusting. They really took the time to understand my style and the overall vibe I wanted.

On the wedding day, they brought such a calm, positive energy that set the tone for the whole morning. Teresa and Phrenchie truly worked their magic and I’ve honestly never felt so beautiful, while still feeling completely like myself, just elevated. Walking into my wedding feeling that confident was such a gift.

If you’re considering booking DC Elite Image, do it. Teresa and her team are talented, thoughtful, and genuinely care about making you feel your absolute best. I’m so grateful they were part of my day!!

Teresa did my makeup for my anniversary dinner and I couldn’t have been more pleased with the results. I have Asian features (I’m half Korean) and she did my eye makeup and eyelashes perfectly. She did my makeup even better than I imagined it would! Highly recommend her or any of her other artists as they are professional, on time, and very hygienic. Definitely worth the money & you won’t be disappointed.

Teresa was my makeup artist for my first wedding in Las Vegas at the Elvis Chapel. She kept with the theme and glammed me up!! My look was perfect and lasted from the ceremony, to photos in Red Rock Canyon, all the way through to dinner. She even gifted me my lip color which is my new fav! I highly recommend her.

Sharon was my makeup artist for my second wedding in DC. She came to my house and did my makeup while my hair was being done. She did a softer yet glam look that suited the vibe perfectly. At the last minute, my timeline was bumped up and she was able to accommodate! I am so grateful for her flexibility and recommend her as well!

Dc Elite Image was amazing to work with from the beginning to the end. The team is very responsive. Angie did my makeup, and India did my hair. Highly recommend both! Angie was able to achieve my vision of full glam, big lashes, and a dramatic look! India also did a great job of styling my color-treated hair and giving my soft curls, that maintained its shape all night! The trial was helpful in testing my vision and ensured the wedding day plan was successful.

I cannot recommend working with DC Elite Image enough! From the beginning of the planning process, their team and Melissa specifically were fantastic to work with. She walked me through the pricing structure and options and worked with me to determine what was best for my wedding and bridal party. Sharon and Frenchie were incredible both during my trial and on my wedding day. They listened to all my hair and makeup preferences, gave me tips to prep for the day (even helping me pick extensions to buy), and went above and beyond in every way. My makeup was flawless, glowing, and held all night, and my hair extensions were comfortable and so natural. I truly don’t think I could have felt more beautiful on the day and I cannot thank them enough for their work! Val and Karina were amazing as well and all my bridesmaids looked incredible!

I really enjoyed working with Teresa Foss Beauty. The team made the entire experience so easy and stress-free. They worked with my timeline, preferences, and even went above and beyond to find the make-up artist that worked best for me. They were respectful of my budget and I feel their rates are very reasonable without any hidden fees. Highly recommend! Sharon and Katrina were my MUA and hair stylists, both extremely professional, easy to work with, and were able to accomplish exactly what I asked for.

I am an Indian bride and I worked with Phrenchie (Hair) and Angie (Makeup) for all 3 of my Indian wedding event looks; the extended DC Elite team also did hair and makeup for my Mom and my 5 bridesmaids.

I first worked with DC Elite as a bridesmaid in a friend’s wedding in 2022. Phrenchie did my hair then, and I remember feeling so seen as she worked with my naturally curly hair to create a beautiful updo. In the past, if I’d had my hair done as a bridesmaid, the stylist would first straighten it to be able to style it; Phrenchie embraced my hair texture and created a stunning, natural look.

Fast forward to planning for my own wedding and remembering my past experience with Phrenchie and DC Elite, I made sure to seek them out and hire them right away! Both Phrenchie and Angie worked with me to create gorgeous, natural looks. I felt confident in all 3 of my styles and received so many compliments throughout the weekend. Most importantly, I felt like “me”! The two of them (and the larger team) are adept at creating hairstyles and makeup looks across diverse hair types, skin types, and features.

Throughout the weekend, Phrenchie and Angie were a fun and calming presence for me. They were flexible and understanding with hiccups/small delays in the schedule and extremely professional. My bridesmaids and I had such a blast with them and the larger team when getting ready the morning of the wedding ceremony, and in the end, everything went flawlessly.

I highly recommend the DC Elite Image team for your upcoming events and especially Indian and/or multicultural weddings! You won’t be disappointed.
