Truly an amazing HMUA

Emily was so professional and friendly from Day 1. We had a great trial period, where we figured out the styles that I wanted for my big day. On the day itself, she was prompt and responsive, and my make-up and hair lasted the whole night. I'd definitely recommend Emily as a hair and make-up artist. She gives the whole princess treatment and she's also an excellent conversationalist!

The most calming experience on a chaotic day!

Emily was truly incredible from start to finish. Not only is she insanely talented but she was such a calming presence on a very busy morning and handled a little chaos with total grace. It was so nice getting to sit in her chair and just chat she made the whole morning feel easy and relaxed.

I don’t wear much makeup day to day and Emily somehow managed to enhance all of my features while keeping everything looking completely natural and like me. I’ve never felt more beautiful or more comfortable in my own skin while wearing makeup. She really listened to what I wanted and executed it perfectly.

My mom and all my bridesmaids absolutely loved their hair and makeup, and I’m so grateful to Emily for making our morning feel fun, calm, and stress-free. I couldn’t recommend her more highly.

Highly recommend!

Emily and her team did a great job on my wedding hair and makeup and my bridesmaids’ hair and makeup! She listened to what I wanted and executed the look perfectly. It was also remarkable how long the bridal waves she did stayed in my straight hair and how long the makeup lasted even on a very hot day! Highly recommend!

We loved everything

Emily and her assistant, Jordan, were absolutely amazing for my daughter’s wedding! Emily was not only incredibly talented but also so much fun to work with. She made the whole process enjoyable and stress-free. She listened carefully to what we wanted, ensuring everyone looked and felt their best. Her flexibility and willingness to accommodate last-minute adjustments made a world of difference.

Jordan was just as talented, and together, they created a seamless experience for the entire wedding party. We received so many compliments on how stunning everyone looked! I cannot recommend Emily and her team enough – they are true professionals with such a warm and personal touch. Thank you for helping make my daughter’s big day so special.

Nicole Has You Covered!

I was really concerned about choosing a hair and makeup artist for my wedding as I have trichotillomania with lots of visible bald spots and uneven hair. Usually, every time I see a photo of myself the first thing I notice is my hair loss. Emily did such an amazing job at styling that I can't notice any of my bald spots despite having photos taken from every possible angle all day. I am absolutely ecstatic. My make-up was also absolutely gorgeous and stayed put throughout the entire day. She also did hair and makeup for my bridesmaids, I was very indecisive about their styles and she helped me choose and relieved a lot of the stress.

Great choice for hair and makeup

Emily Nicole Artistry was highly professional and flexible. Services were delivered at my home at exactly the time we discussed and she followed through on all matters discussed during the trial. I was very pleased with both hair and makeup as was my bridal party.

Skilled MUA and hair stylist, amazing experience

I am absolutely thrilled to write this glowing review for Emily! From the moment we first connected, their professionalism and dedication to making me look and feel my best were evident. One of the standout aspects of working with Emily is her skill in both makeup and hair, especially the ability to work with Asian skin tones and features. They skillfully highlighted my and my bridesmaids' natural beauty, creating looks that was both stunning and authentic. They listened attentively to our preferences and expertly incorporated them into looks that were perfect for my wedding day.

The level of service we received was beyond professional. Every detail was meticulously planned and executed, from the trial session to the final touch-ups on the big day. They were punctual, organized, and always prepared with everything needed to ensure a flawless execution. Their calm and reassuring presence made the entire process enjoyable and stress-free.

Additionally, their pricing was incredibly fair, offering exceptional value for the high quality of service provided. It was clear from the start that Emily is focused on delivering outstanding results. This level of integrity and customer care is rare and deeply appreciated.

The makeup and hair designs they created were nothing short of spectacular. My makeup stayed perfect throughout the day and night, and my hair held its style, with veil and hair pieces.

Overall, I cannot recommend Emily highly enough. Their talent, professionalism, and genuine care for their clients make them an absolute gem in the DMV area. They made my wedding day truly magical, and I am forever grateful for their incredible work!
