Michelle and her team were a dream team to have on my wedding day! My bridal hair and makeup was one of the most important decisions to me because it truly would encompass my whole bridal look, be captured in photos, and be one of the main things that people saw when they looked at me walking down the aisle. When I saw Michelle’s professional background and portfolio, I was blown away and knew I wanted to book her. We hired Michelle and her team for hair and makeup for myself, six bridesmaids, and two moms (9 total). They had us ready in under 5 hours and everyone loved how their looks turned out! I got to do a trial of my hair and makeup a few months before the wedding and Michelle blew me away when I saw everything come together. I showed her inspiration pictures and she made everything look even more beautiful than I had imagined. On the wedding day, she did exactly the same thing and the entire look held all night—even through all the dancing! Michelle made me feel like the most beautiful bride and I feel so lucky to have found her. She is also so kind and helped me navigate all of me and my bridal party’s questions—including navigating the world of hair extensions. She even provided a touch-up kit for each girl to have their lip color, makeup wipes, and other essentials. I’m so grateful to have found Michelle!

I feel so lucky that I was able to book with Michelle for my wedding. Originally I planned to do my own hair, but changed my mind about a month before my wedding. Michelle happened to have my wedding date free and was able to accommodate me for a last minute trial before my wedding. The trial result was beautiful and since it was rainy that day, I really got to see how her style lasted. I have naturally curly hair so I’m no stranger to how fluffy and frizzy my hair can get in the rain, but the style she did lasted perfectly.

For the wedding she was a true professional — on time, friendly, and just a great presence to have in the room. We all had some different hair types and challenges (naturally curly, never holds a curl, etc.) but everyone was really happy with their hair. One of my bridesmaids has had her hair done professionally for weddings before, but this is the first time that her hair actually held a curl the whole night. I would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone!

Michelle made the entire process seamless and enjoyable from my make-up trial to the big day. She took the time to understand my vision and brought it to life beautifully.
On the wedding day, she arrived on time, fully prepared, and with a calm and friendly demeanor. My make-up and hair were flawless—exactly what I wanted! It lasted all day and night, even through tears of joy and lots of dancing.
If you're looking for someone who is not only incredibly talented but also a joy to work with, Michelle is the perfect choice!

Michelle is so talented and a pleasure to work with, I am so glad I booked her for my wedding makeup! She came recommended to me by my hair stylist who I had already booked - but Michelle does amazing hair too so if you need that done I would recommend you book her for both. Her pricing was quite reasonable given her level of talent and the impressive clientele she works with outside of weddings. She is super sweet, got through myself and my 5 bridesmaids and mother/mother-in-law quickly but still spent time making sure we looked perfect. My makeup lasted all night even though I was quite sweaty from dancing!

I only hired Michelle for hair services for myself and my bridal party on my wedding day, and of 9 women, not one was disappointed with their final look (truly a miracle). Michelle and her assistant arrived on time and ready to go, and they were able to create everything from textured up-do's to wavy half-up styles with ease. I hired Michelle because of her confidence in being able to execute a variety of looks, and I fully trusted her to be able to achieve the laid-back up-do I was envisioning (I don't live in VA so wasn't able to trial with her). She's professional, efficient, and incredibly talented, and everyone felt so beautiful (and every style lasted 8+ hours!). Michelle made everything easy, and I'd highly recommend her to any bride for a stress-free wedding morning!

Oh my goodness, Michelle, what a talented woman! Book her ASAP! I have had wedding bridesmaid makeup done in the past and I did not look like myself, so I was nervous to have my makeup done as a bride. But Michelle is detail oriented in the best way, and surpassed all expectations. She collaborated with my verbal descriptions and inspiration pictures and brought my vision to life.

8 bridesmaids, 1 mother of the bride, and 1 bride were all ready on time the morning of the wedding and there was no stress or hurried ness, Michelle carried and excited, peaceful, and calm attitude all morning. Not to mention, my makeup stayed put all day- through heat, humidity, and even a DC thunderstorm! She is so talented.

I looked like me, only better - exactly as she promised! Don't wait, book DC Bridal for your hair and makeup.

Michelle and Nicole were a dream to work with. They showed up on time, did a wonderful job, and made the hair and makeup process a breeze. Michelle and Nicole did an amazing job listening to everyone and bringing their visions to life. We all loved our hair and makeup and it lasted all day and night!

Michelle made the hair and makeup planning part of the wedding insanely easy. She is incredibly talented and everyone loved their final looks, but she is also just super cool to hang out with. Even though I changed the plan more times than I would like to admit, she was patient and kind and worked with me from start to finish to create a plan that would work for everyone. So thankful she was a part of my big day - thank you Michelle!

Makeup & hair stayed on all night!

I would definitely recommend Michelle! Since the hair and makeup artists play such an important role in your wedding day appearance AND spend the entire morning with the bride and her crew on the day of the wedding, I knew that I wanted an artist that felt like a good fit both talent-wise and personality-wise. Michelle knocked it out of the park on both fronts! I scheduled a makeup and hair test and after 5 minutes, knew she was the vendor for me. The completed look sealed the deal! Her wide range of hairstyles (both updo and down) blew me away. Her makeup is stunning, flawless, yet natural. She was so easy to talk to and kicked off our wedding day on a great foot. My family and maid of honor loved her as well! I am so thankful that she was a part of our big day. Don't think, just book DC Bridal!!!
