Lori is the BEST!

Lori did my hair and make-up for my wedding on October 12, 2019 and she did an amazing job! I would highly recommend her. She is very down to earth yet very fun and easy to talk to. Lori made me feel beautiful despite some acne and pigmentation that I felt was going to ruin my wedding day. She made me look like a princess, which is just what I wanted. Thank you Lori!

Love her !

Lori was one of my favorite vendors to work with for my wedding. Fun, professional and knowledgeable, she was able to work with a wide variety of ladies in my bridal party (including two who don’t wear makeup), and all were satisfied with the results but also the process. Lori knows what she is doing, was flexible to work with and very knowledgeable and competent. Plus she made me look 10 years younger on my wedding day. A joy to work with, would highly recommend!

Great wedding experience

I used Lori for my hair and make up last year for my wedding. She was great and I loved my look! We really got to know each other well and her team was very professional. We had 13 members getting hair and make up done and everyone looked absolutely fabulous!

Loved working with her! Felt beautiful on my wedding day

I was obsessed with my makeup and hair that Lori and I arrived at for my wedding day, she created exactly what I was wanting. The best part was that Lori was kind, fun, thoughtful, and made getting ready the day-of a breeze. I loved having her a part of that huge life event.

Best Choice

Lori was an amazing choice as my wedding hair and makeup artist. She truly is an artist. I have had my makeup done for many weddings and never has my skin looked so natural yet flawless. She took direction well and made sure I looked (and most importantly felt!) beautiful on my wedding day. My wedding party also all loved her. She felt like a friend from the very beginning and I plan to use her again as soon as I have another occasion!

Thank you Lori!

Lori did an incredible job on my hair and make-up for my wedding and I can't thank her enough. I don't ordinarily wear much make-up; I wanted to look polished for our wedding but still myself. Lori hit these notes perfectly. My trial session with Lori was super enjoyable, too, and she was very helpful and patient as we tried several options (some I hadn't thought about and loved!). Lori was a delight to work with and is a super talented artist. I felt like I could be honest and open with her about what I liked and didn't like, and most importantly, I felt super comfortable and 100% myself on our wedding day. Thank you, Lori!

Lifesaver!

Lori literally came to my rescue when the company scheduled to do my wedding bailed on me 20 days before the big day. She moved things around in her schedule to accommodate my needs and I am super grateful to her! It was only me that needed services and I was lucky to find someone who could do both hair and makeup. I didn’t get the chance to do a trial with her (due to my schedule, not hers) but she came through on the big day and was a joy to work with. Highly recommend Lori :)

Achieved my vision!

I loved working with Lori for my wedding this summer. We were working toward an old hollywood look with the makeup and a Taylor Swift hairstyle. She worked very hard to make it happen, and I was so pleased with the results. She also did a great job on my mom and my two nieces. Would recommend Lori to another bride!

So happy!!

I truly couldn't have been happier with the hair and makeup for my wedding. I knew at the trial that I had made the right choice. Lori was so receptive to what I was thinking and made fabulous recommendations and suggestions for both hair and makeup. I initially declined her suggestion of fake lashes feeling that they wouldn't be for me. On the day of the wedding I was second guessing that decision, and I went with her recommendation and am so glad that I did. They looked so good. She is truly an expert at what she does. She also did the hair for my bridesmaids, and they all looked gorgeous. Lori is so kind and easy to connect with - an added bonus! I highly recommend her!

A m a z i n g !

Lori was perfect. From trial to the final look for my wedding day, she made my hair and makeup absolutely flawless. She effortlessly followed my instructions on wanting a natural look and made me feel like myself.

My makeup & hair lasted the entire day! Not having worn eye makeup much because of my sensitive eyes, I was worried that it would smudge.. but it didn’t - not even when I teared up and had to wipe my eyes during the wedding! I have also never worn fake lashes before, but she put them on so perfectly that I didn’t even notice them the entire day! She also arrived exactly on time as requested, even if it was at 5:30am.

I highly recommend her to anyone in the Northern Virginia area looking to get their makeup or hair done for weddings, etc. I would give her a 10+ stars if I could!
