I know nothing about hair and makeup, so having Mandy do mine for the wedding was the best decision I could make! She got to know me and listened to the vibe we wanted for the wedding and she created a look that was perfect. I felt so comfortable and confident that I felt worry free and was able to relax and really enjoy the day! I think it is such a skill to be able to make someone look glamorous without feeling "made up." I still felt like myself and like a beautiful bride :)

Mandy is an absolute pleasure to work with. She did my hair a few years ago for my sister's wedding so when it came time for my special day I knew exactly who to call. She did not disappoint. My hair was everything I asked for and it looked incredible! I could not be happier with choosing Mandy for my wedding day.

Mandy is awesome! She did my bridal make-up and did hair and make-up for my mom and two sisters for my wedding. I rarely wear make-up so I knew I wanted someone else to do it, but the search was a bit overwhelming. A good friend of mine recommended Mandy, and I'm so happy she did. When I went for my trial, Mandy immediately made me feel relaxed and did a great job translating what I wanted, which included a dark lip and strong eyebrow to go with my black wedding dress. In prepping for the wedding day, she was really flexible about working with various schedules, and was right on time to the hotel in DC where we were getting ready. On a day that could have gotten very stressful, Mandy was a great, calm presence. My mom is a talker while my sisters can be pretty shy, and Mandy worked really well with all of them. She tailored each of their hair and make-ups to their style, which is pretty different from mine. They were all very happy. I loved my make-up so much. It was very dramatic, which I wanted, and lasted through a rainy first look, lots of eating and drinking, and a big dance party. I also really loved that she gave me the lipstick so I could touch up if necessary. I felt beautiful, and was thrilled to see how great it looked in our photos.

I contacted Mandy on EXTREMELY short notice as a bridesmaid for my friend wedding. She was very accommodating of my very last minute requests. Mandy turned up perfectly on time with all her equipment in order and was ready to go in minutes. She had an excellent sense of humor and she probably had a hard time doing my make up because we were laughing so much and having such a good time! I felt like she was an old friend. I also could see that she adjusted her jokes and conversation for each person she was working on so everyone felt comfortable. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone!

Mandy was flexible, honest, and really listened! She took her time and I felt beautiful on my wedding day.

I first worked with Mandy on my engagement pictures last year and I had a great time hanging out with her while she did my makeup! I knew I had to book her for our wedding.

Mandy was so patient with me at the trial when I kept changing my mind as to what I wanted style wise. I kept apologizing because I thought it was probably frustrating, but she was totally cool about it and was focused on making sure I got the look I wanted. I ended up e-mailing her a few weeks later with an additional change and she asked a few questions to make sure she understood my vision.

On my wedding day, she was a blast to work with and all of us had a great time with her there. She is very professional but also fun to be around. She did makeup for 7 of us that day and everything started and finished on time. My look was EXACTLY what I wanted despite the fact that I'd changed my mind so many times.

I'd highly recommend Mandy for makeup for ANY event!

Mandy is awesome! She did my hair for my wedding and it was beautiful. She also did all my bridesmaids hair as well and everyone looked amazing. Mandy is so sweet and so good at what she does I could not be happier with my choice to book her. In fact I am in a wedding next month and trying to book her for that as well as a wedding I'm attending in September! You will not regret it if you book her for your wedding.

I was lucky enough to book Mandy for my wedding makeup! I wanted someone who was certified in air brushing and Mandy is the best at it! She was even able to cover up my peeling shoulders from a mini sunburn. I trusted her professional opinion on what colors worked for my skin tone and she was right on. I have never felt more beautiful than I did that day. I wish she could do my makeup everyday! Just to let you know how above and beyond she went for me: In the midst of the hectic, last minute details and running around I forget to get my eye brows waxed and she plucked them for me before my Big Day!

Thanks to Mandy I have gorgeous pictures of myself to cherish forever!

I am very thankful I found Mandy Hollinger to do my hair and makeup for my wedding day. She was very responsive to ideas, pictures and listened. After, she gave ideas and talked about what might work best.

During my run through, before the wedding, she did the hair and makeup as asked, but after seeing it altogether I decided it would be best to go another direction with the makeup. She was very flexible and redid everything, making it perfect. I was so happy with the results.

On my wedding day, she was professional, responsive and even changed the time a week before. I was very thankful for all her qualities, however what amazed me the most was her ability to work with hair. My sisters and I all have a lot of hair, and I do mean a lot. It also is a mix of wavy, curly and out right unruly. Her ability to "tame the beast" in a very quick and beautiful way amazed us all.

We were very happy with the results and enjoyed our time with Mandy. I will recommend her to all my family and friends. Thank you Mandy!

LOVED Mandy! I am very particular about my hair and she did an amazing job, she was open to giving suggestions and being patient as I was trying to decide which hairstyle to go with. I highly recommend her!
