Best stylist in the DMV

Laurén is hands down the best hairstylist and make up artist in this area. I'm pretty easygoing about my hair, but was nervous about having my make up done professionally and she knocked it out of the park.
We did a trial beforehand, and I felt like she really took the time to understand the look I was going for. Day of the wedding it was somehow even better, and no joke that was the most beautiful I've ever felt in my life.
Both my hair and makeup lasted all night and was comfortable, no hair pins were hurting and my makeup didnt feel heavy or cakey at all.
1000/10 will recommend to anyone and everyone who wants to feel beautiful.
Also, shes just super genuine and pleasant to be around. Definitely the energy you want around you on your big day.

Laurén made me feel beautiful on my wedding day!

I cannot recommend Laurén enough! She was my hair and makeup stylist for my wedding, and she was nothing short of outstanding. From the initial consultation to the big day, Laurén made me feel completely at ease. She truly listened to my vision and brought it to life with such skill and creativity. My hair and makeup were flawless and held up beautifully throughout the entire day, even through tears and dancing! Beyond her incredible talent, Laurén was so kind, professional, and calming, which made getting ready such an enjoyable experience. Thank you, Laurén, for making me feel so beautiful on one of the most important days of my life!

Use Lauren Diana for wedding day makeup!!!

A friend recommended Laurén Diana to do the makeup for my wedding and I am so glad I used her services!! There were 8 of us total that needed makeup done for the wedding and she offered to bring in another artist to make sure they could be as efficient as possible and they were both amazing!! The makeup lasted the entire day and night (19 hours in total!!!); it lasted through everything: happy tears, sun and heat, photos, and dancing. She even gave us some tips to help make the makeup last through the day's events! Lauren was incredibly flexible and communicative too. She responded to my questions the same day (sometimes within minutes!) and she helped make it work when I needed to add one more person who needed makeup services. I cannot say enough good things Lauren Diana, she was the nicest person to work with! It was truly the best experience and I highly recommend her for wedding day makeup!

She’s amazing!

I’ve known Laurén through mutual friends for years and when my wedding was coming up I immediately thought of her to do my hair and makeup. I have fine thin hair and wanted to “fake it” without using extensions for the big day. She is so easy to talk to and had some great ideas and everything turned out exactly as I asked and more! She also did an incredible job with my makeup and it all lasted the entire night.
Because I had such a great experience, I ended up reaching out to her again to cut and color my hair…again she did exactly what I had envisioned. Thank you so much Laurén! I can’t wait to see you for the next go around.
I highly recommend anyone utilizing her services, SHE’S AMAZING!! 🥰🙌🔥

Lauren is the Best!

Lauren is absolutely amazing. I could not be happier with how she did my hair and makeup for my wedding! She has been cutting and coloring my hair for years, so she even helped me plan those appointments months in advance so my hair was exactly the color, length, and style I wanted. In addition to being a brilliant hair and makeup artist, she is also such a fun person who answered all my beauty and miscellaneous wedding questions with great expertise. The energy she brought, along with the additional HMU artists helping with the bridal party, was so uplifting and exactly what I needed to calm my nerves the morning of the wedding. Lauren is the best!

Just the absolute best

Laurén is absolutely amazing at her craft. She did both my and my MOH's hair and makeup for my wedding and I can honestly say I've never felt more beautiful in my life. She's so so kind, and just wonderful to be around. I would trust her to do my hair, color, cut, make up, anything and everything she offers to be honest, she's that good!

My *Dream* Hair and Make-up Artist Team

I wish it was possible to give Laurén and her team 100 stars, because they really are the dream team! From my initial outreach through getting ready on the big day, Laurén was amazing to work with. She is professional, flexible - which every bride needs when plans inevitably change, responsive, and a great communicator. Laurén will also keep you calm, laughing, and smiling when you're in her chair! I was impressed by Laurén's knowledge of beauty trends and styles, as well as her endless talent. She was able to recreate my vision for my bridal hair and make-up effortlessly and I felt so secure knowing she'd be with me as we got ready on the big day. Laurén and her team also did an amazing job styling the hair and makeup for my mom, MIL, and bridesmaids. Everyone was so happy and felt beautiful, including myself, and I couldn't have imagined our hair and makeup experience going any better. If you haven't already, I highly recommend reaching out to Laurén for your big day!

Low stress, lovely people, BEAUTIFUL results

Not only were Lauren and her team incredibly easy to work with and more than ready to adapt to a COVID-safe environment, but their hair and makeup skills are out of this world. I didn't have any clue how I wanted my bridesmaids hair to look, I just wanted them to feel beautiful, and it was truly lovely to watch them all transform into elevated, natural and stunning versions of themselves. That's one of the things I loved most about my wedding day, how Lauren and her team helped everyone to look like the most glammed up version of themselves, including me as the bride! I felt gorgeous, the experience was so laid back on my wedding day, the team was actually at the venue before I even woke up, and I couldn't have asked for a better team. Thank you, thank you!
