Incredible Work on Bridal Hair/Make Up and Wedding Party Hair and Make Up

Erica and her team, Mayra and Stephanie, were incredible to work with on our wedding day. From start to finish, Erica was professional, punctual, and wonderful throughout the entire process.

She always answered my questions quickly, provided a fantastic trial, and made everything feel seamless leading up to the wedding. On the wedding day, the team arrived on time and did an amazing job with all of the girls’ hair and makeup. We finished right on time. Erica created a schedule and it was so helpful for the day to run smoothly.

Everyone looked and felt beautiful, and I truly could not thank Erica, Mayra, and Stephanie enough for everything they did to make our day so special. We highly recommend them to any future bride looking for a talented and reliable beauty team!

Beautiful looks for your wedding day!

Erica and Stephanie are great to work with. Erica worked with me several times to find the right hairstyle for my dress. The makeup looks she did for my bridesmaids and myself were beautiful. Very well done, accentuating features and not overly done up (which we all preferred). 10/10 communication and service. Thanks again ladies!!

Great service overall!

I initially booked Gorgeous Locks and Makeup as Erica was local to where the wedding party was getting ready in Sterling, VA and she seemed to by far offer the most cost effective services. I am so glad that I went with her for our special day! From the very beginning, Erica was responsive and so communicative. Her pricing was very transparent up front but she was also very flexible when I asked to add make up services later on for additional family members. Erica has a home studio where my mom and I did our hair and make up trial. She then had a team of three come on site to our air bnb to help us get ready. We had a total of 11 people having their hair and make up done and I was impressed that Erica and her team were able to complete everyone between 9 a.m. - 2 p.m. Most other vendors I looked into were quoting start times at 7 a.m. so I definitely appreciated the extra time to sleep in on my wedding day! Thank you Erica for all of your help and making getting ready for my wedding a breeze!

Beautiful hair and makeup

I can't express how happy my bridesmaids and I were with Erica and Mayra. They made us look so beautiful and were incredibly fun during the entire process. They came to the Airbnb, where we were staying, which was incredible. Both my hair and makeup looked perfect for the entire night. I highly recommend choosing Erica!!

Run dont walk toward Erica at Gorgeous Locks and Makeup

I chose Erica out of a lot of different vendors I inquired with as my hair and makeup vendor because I loved her natural looking portfolio and boy was I glad I chose her. From signing the contract, to scheduling the trial, and wedding day, Erica was so easy and fun to work with. When I showed Erica my inspirations at my trial, she immediately understood what I wanted and she did a great job bringing my vision to life. She was very accommodating and flexible on my wedding day when I wanted to my make up and hair slightly differently and boy did she understand the changes I wanted and brought my vision to life. Her team Mayra and Stephanie also did a great job with my bridal party. Everyone was very happy with their looks. They showed up on time and were so efficient that we were done ahead of schedule, which helped our photographer stay on schedule. I got so many compliments on my hair and makeup all night from all our guests. And most importantly, Erica made me feel so pretty and happy with my look all night especially in front of the cameras. Her amazing job shined through all our photos from our wedding. 10/10 recommend Erica if you are a bride looking for an easy to work with, understanding, and talented vendor.

Gorgeous Locks in Reston!

Erica was wonderful to work with! She has such an ease about her that made the experience that much more relaxing and enjoyable. Erica ensured that each of us felt "beautiful". She is a consummate professional who clearly loves her work and is gifted in what she does!

So Happy With the Results

Eric did a wonderful job! She listed to what I wanted -- natural glam makeup and a curated messy bun hair -- and delivered. She's also the most reasonable prices I could find and yet also has the most flexible offerings.

Beautiful and long lasting

Working with Erica was wonderful! I used GLAM for my June 2024 wedding and Erica was delightful! I don't wear a ton of makeup so the trial run was super helpful to talk about options for the wedding day and ensure an stress-free experience. Day of, Erica and her partner for the day were on time and stayed on schedule! Our hair and makeup looked beautiful and stayed great all day (even with some wind and lots of happy tears) and they were experienced with a variety of hair types and styles. Erica was a great presence too while getting ready and was easy to spend a couple of hours with me and all the bridesmaids.

Great experience with Erica

I had trial and wedding day makeup done with Erica. It went great. Erica listened to customer well and took notes to ensure she got the details right. She even arrived earlier than plan on the wedding day which ease my stress. Thank you for your service Erica. Highly recommended!
