Beauty You'll Fall in Love With All Over Again

Monahime Beauty was built for the bride who wants to feel beautiful without feeling overdone. Timeless, polished, and completely herself - that is the standard every service is held to.

I specialize in radiant, soft-focus makeup and polished romantic hairstyles designed to be loved for decades to come. With nearly 15 years in the beauty industry, every service is rooted in genuine artistry, intention, and care.

When you book with me, you are not just hiring someone to show up on your wedding day. You are gaining a partner in the entire process. From a personalized skincare guide and skin prep consultation to your own Wedding Dashboard and a 3 to 4 hour bridal preview in my home studio, everything is thoughtfully designed so you arrive on your wedding day feeling prepared, pampered, and completely at ease.

I only take on one wedding per day - because you deserve nothing less than my full attention. ♡

Based in Northern Virginia and available to travel for your celebration.

Michelle is the best!

Michelle was amazing to work with from start to finish. She went through my vision with me for my hair and makeup at my trial. She took her time to make sure every detail was perfect! This made for my wedding day to be extremely stress free knowing that my hair and makeup would turn out amazing and it did! My hair did not move AT ALL Even when the wind started picking up in the afternoon and I was a little nervous about my makeup because I have oily skin but my makeup held up wonderfully all day long and looked just as good at the end of the night as it did when it was freshly done. Michelle was professional, courteous, and great to talk to and would recommend her to anyone!

I've Never Felt More Beautiful

Working with Monahime Beauty was a dream!! From my trial to our wedding day, Michelle was amazing. We vibed from the beginning, and even my 98-year-old grandma (who has something to say about everything) loved Michelle’s work. Michelle did an incredible job on me—I asked for a natural look with a little pop of glam, and she gave me the perfect amount of sparkle while still making me feel like myself. I felt absolutely beautiful all day, and I barely had to do any touch ups throughout the night. My hair stayed perfectly in place the entire evening as well!! Jasmine worked on my mom’s, maid of honor’s, and two bridesmaids hair, and everyone looked stunning. Both artists were professional, talented, and lovely to be around. They both jammed with us to our “Girly Bops for Girly Pops” getting ready playlist too, which was so fun! I couldn’t have asked for a better team to help us get ready!!

Wedding Makeup

I had the pleasure of having Michelle do my makeup for my son’s wedding, and it was a wonderful experience! Michelle was professional, skillful and attentive, and quietly worked her magic while I totally relaxed. When she finished the last spritz of setting spray and I looked in the mirror, I couldn’t believe the transformation, nor could I have been more pleased. My only disappointment was that I had to wash it off at the end of the day. Thank you for making me look beautiful, Michelle!

Amazing Team!

Michelle and her team did the hair and makeup for my wedding. From the trial, Michelle was extremely communicative and helpful in helping me decide which look was best for me. She kept my makeup very natural, which is exactly what I wanted. Come wedding day, Michelle and her team knocked it out of the park. I was so pleased with how quickly they got our 14 girls done for both hair and makeup! They were ahead of schedule and the girls loved the hair and makeup that was done. Michelle took great care in completing my entire bridal look and was very easy to work with. I couldn't be happier with Monahime Beauty and highly recommend Michelle to all brides!

Great team to work with!

My wedding planner recommended this team and she definitely steered me in the right direction. From a thorough preview to plan my makeup and hair to a shopping trip (add-on service) to make sure I had the correct colors for contouring, I feel well-served by the team!!!

Saved my day!

Michelle was so professional and overall talented!! She was very responsive to all of my questions I had. I did a trial run a month before my wedding and I was in a bit of a crunch since my previous hair and makeup artist cancelled on me so close to the wedding day and Michelle made things so easy for my ladies & me! She also had the sweetest gift for my big day, so thoughtful! I cannot recommend Michelle enough; she made my perfect day so easy and fun and her talent and skill is evident in all that she does! THANK YOU!!

Wonderful Service

I hired Michelle to do my bachelorette party and I was really impressed with her work. She was prompt to the agreed upon time and she had a very professional and focused touch to the services that she provided for myself and my bridesmaids. She was charming and polite the entire time, making sure to listen to what we needed and wanted. I'm very excited to have her do makeup for my wedding day!

An amazing choice for bridal hair and makeup

I'd highly recommend booking Michelle! It took me awhile to find the right fit for my bridal hair and makeup, but I felt immediately at ease with Michelle when I explained to her that I wanted a more natural look. During the hair and makeup trial, she matched my inspiration photos perfectly! She was able to drive to my apartment building for the trial, which was extremely convenient. On my wedding day, she was timely, creative, efficient and made me and my bridesmaids look gorgeous! I got so many compliments on my hair and makeup all throughout the night.
