When we hired our makeup artist, hair came along with it. We are so grateful to have had Victoria as that person. She did an amazing job on everyone's hair, and made all of us feel beautiful. I have never had my hair done up like this, and I actually felt sad when I had to wash it out. She also did an amazing job on my mom's makeup. -

She’s the best
Hair and make up for the day $400 and for the bridal party $270 each person which is fair pricing. Donna Rae is highly skilled, and really knows how to highlight your best features so you can shine on your big day. Victoria made my hair look flawless and it looked perfect with my veil~ -

Chelsea Sent on 11/19/2025Absolutely recommend Artistry by Victoria!
I had such a wonderful experience with Artistry by Victoria. We did a trial beforehand, which was incredibly helpful. We figured out which complexion products didn’t lay quite right and adjusted my skincare so we could get the exact finish I wanted for the big day.
On our wedding morning, Victoria and her team (Sean and Tricia) arrived early, were fully prepared, and kept everything running smoothly from the moment they started. They even finished ahead of schedule, which took so much stress out of the morning. Every single person looked amazing, and everyone commented on how much they loved their hair and makeup.
A special shoutout to Victoria: not only is she incredibly talented at both hair and makeup, but she’s also a true professional. Her communication, organization, and calm presence made the entire process so easy. Being able to sit back and relax on your wedding morning because you fully trust your artist is an underrated blessing, and I’m so grateful for Victoria.
I couldn’t have asked for a better team. Highly recommend! -

I want to say 1,000 thank yous to Donna Rae and Victoria, for working with me, my 4 bridesmaids, my Mom and my fiancé’s Mom. I’ve never felt more beautiful!! Outside of some brief tears, I only touched up my under eye makeup once. Everything stayed flawless and my curls held up even when the DJ played some of my favorite songs lol I’d like to highlight Donna Rae’s use of high quality products and her amazing ability to enhance your features, without overshadowing your natural beauty. I do not wear false lashes, but I wanted them for my wedding. She took her time in finding the right lashes and asked my opinion every step of the way. She’s also genuinely kind and easy to talk to! For more makeup inspiration, find her on Instagram (makeupbydonnarae) Victoria is the hair style goddess! In the days leading up to my wedding, I re-read her tips and advice from her Instagram (artistrybyvictoria). I wanted to give her the best “hair pallet” to work with, and ensure my hair was giving its best for the hair style we selected. I really appreciate Victoria expressing her opinions when it came to the half up-half down style I wanted. Thanks to her expertise, my hair stayed in place all the way to our send-off…through dancing, wardrobe change and a run-through when we left our reception. I am BEYOND satisfied with their work and grateful to book with them. I also want to extend a special thank you on behalf of my sister. Just before the ceremony she was a little emotional and told me “I feel so beautiful, so feminine and I’m just so excited to be here” She was so radiant and she never stopped smiling. Donna Rae and Victoria, I’m so thankful for your time and the incredible work you put into my day. -

Donna Rae and Victoria made me feel so special on my wedding day! They truly are amazing artists. Donna Rae is a very skilled makeup artist. She makes sure to match the makeup to my skin tone. She even put sparkles in my makeup! I met her at Nordstroms in Bellevue Square where she works at Dior and I knew immediately that she was going to be fabulous. Victoria did wonders to my hair. My hair does not usually corporate but she made it work and my hair stayed in all night long! Victoria made sure my hair looked stunning and even put my own hair clips in. They both are such amazing artists and I would hire them again and again. They bent over backwards for me and got all of us ready by 11:00am. Everyone looked stunning and the photos are perfect. I am truly grateful for this! They are a blessing to work with! They are also just such nice and kind hearted people. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!

Victoria did an amazing job with my hair! She truly made my dreams come true with her artistry and talent. When researching hairstylists, her work immediately caught my eye. I wanted something classic and romantic, that wouldn’t clash with my urban Seattle wedding! She also did my bridesmaids’ hair, my mother’s hair, and my aunt’s hair. We were all in awe to say the least! Victoria was so responsive, skilled, friendly, and professional. I will be seeking her out for future hair needs! -

I was so happy with how my wedding hair turned out! Victoria and Donna Rae were a wonderful team who took great care of all of us. Victoria created beautiful hair looks for myself, my mom, sister, and mother-in-law and we all loved our hair! Victoria even took her time pinning my veil into place within my hairstyle so it was secured perfectly for the night, which I was so grateful for. From communication towards the beginning, my hair/makeup trail, and the actual wedding day, Victoria and Donna Rae were kind, personable, friendly, and communicative. I highly recommend them! -

I can’t thank Victoria enough for making me feel so beautiful on my wedding day! From the trial to the big day, she was professional, punctual, and incredibly talented. She listened to exactly what I wanted and brought it to life even better than I imagined. My hair stayed flawless all day and night—through happy tears, hugs, and dancing! Not only did she do an amazing job on my hair, but she also styled my bridal party perfectly. Everyone looked and felt their best.

I had my bridesmaids and my hair done for our small wedding at Lake Chelan 2025. They helped to lake our day perfect. I am 63 and the makeup was so perfect I bought some to use in the future. Victoria did my hair in a trial and I needed nothing changed. I highly recommend both. Victoria and Donna to make your event special. -

Could not be happier with Donna Rae and Victoria.
This is the 3rd year in a row that we've worked with this wonderful team for an annual holiday black-tie event. They are reliable, punctual, professional and provide excellent guidance in advance to make the most of our time together.
They are great to work with in all ways. They listen, do spectacular work and we all enjoy each other's company. This year we had a larger than usual group and everyone came out looking absolutely beautiful. Donna Rae and Victoria work calmly, efficiently and effectively together and it makes for a very enjoyable day. -

Theresa Sent on 12/20/2024Beautiful hair made easy!
I couldn’t have been more thrilled with my wedding hair! From the moment I met Victoria, I knew I was in great hands. She listened to my ideas, took into account my dress, theme, and personal style, and gave me glorious hair. My hair lasted all day and night - even though hours of dancing!
She was super responsive and on top of scheduling. When you have your hands full with wedding planning it's great to work with people who reach out to YOU for scheduling - not vice versa! Not only was Victoria a true professional, but her warm personality made the entire experience so enjoyable. I couldn’t have asked for a better stylist to be part of my wedding day. Highly recommend her to any bride looking for flawless, beautiful hair on their big day! -

Joanne Sent on 08/22/2024Most wonderful bridal hair trial experience!
I recently had my hair trial done with Artistry by Victoria. Upon meeting Victoria, she was was extremely nice and easy going. I then showed her a couple of examples of the wedding hair style that I wanted and she got exactly what I wanted. After she finished I was so elated because my hair turned out even better than I had hoped for as she had mixed a couple of the styles that I liked into one. I still can't believe how perfect she got it! She was very honest and flexible during the process. I contemplated having a few curled strands on the side of my face but after I realized I didn't like it, she fixed it right away. I highly recommend Victoria to anyone looking to get a beautiful hair style on their wedding day. She also makes and sells beautiful antique jewelry that I also highly recommend (I bought a couple of pieces). Overall, great experience and I can't wait for the actual wedding day to share the look with my friends and family. -

Best experience!
Victoria was such a pleasure to work with. She did my hair, my mom’s hair and my mother-in-law’s hair the day of. We did a trial, where I felt she really listened to what I was envisioning and gave me options to achieve that. When wedding day came, I had decided what I wanted and she nailed it! She is super sweet and so easy to work with. I highly recommend her services! -

Victoria is AMAZING! Not only did she make me feel the prettiest and most beautiful I've ever felt on my wedding day, but I also learned so much from her about hair and makeup during my trial run. I've added some new skincare routines into my life now because of her and feel refreshed and healthier. She's so friendly, professional, communicative, knowledgeable, and truly wants what's best for her clients. My bridesmaids/mom absolutely loved their hairstyles - Victoria just looked at inspo pics and made them even better for each individual... and did it FAST! Also a huge shoutout to Sean who glammed all the girls up! That makeup lasted all day and looks stunning in photos. Overall, highly 110% totally recommend! -

Dream Artist
Victoria was an absolute dream to work with from the very beginning. She was responsive and clear about expectations and process. She was easy to book and continually kept my engaged throughout the process on needs and expectations! She and Donna Rae were so flexible and able to come help 7 of us get ready within 5 hours which is no small feat!
She was professional but also very helpful in deciding the best style and thought on her feet when styling day of! My 16 year old step daughter has never felt so beautiful and stylish than this day. I definitely would recommend and hire again! -

Marcela Sent on 11/18/2023Victoria is a Champ!
Victoria is a magician in her ability to do hair! She came out to Bainbridge Island for my wedding and did 11 people's hair and was done earlier than her estimated end time! We could not believe how quickly she achieved this and how spectacular everyone looked! Her prices were very fair and that was including the hair trial. She also had to snip a few pieces of hair last minute because I wanted some curls to frame my face and she was able to do that for me easily and pivot. I would gladly recommend Victoria to any other brides or anyone looking to get their hair done for a formal event! -

I met Victoria at another wedding where she did my hair and makeup, so I hired her for my own wedding. She is clear, professional and personal all at once. She was on time, kept her cool throughout the day and felt like a good friend doing my hair. She did exactly what I wanted and made me feel beautiful for the rest of a long, rainy and busy day! -

Rachael Sent on 11/04/2023Talented beauty professionals
I booked Donna Rae and Victoria for my wedding in August 2023. They were both true professionals and skilled in what they do. I was pleased with the communication throughout the process of signing the contract, booking my trial, and everything leading up to the big day. All the verbal communication was also followed with email/texts to help make sure I had the details right in my memory. I am also not a hair and makeup person, so the beauty part of the wedding was the most overwhelming part for me and that is why I appreciated having their expertise. On the wedding day, they were both on time and stuck to our timeline with a good system to complete all the hair and makeup for my sisters, maid of honor, and mother of the groom/bride. My group was happy with all the hair and makeup and appreciative that touch ups were allowed also. I would highly recommend Donna Rae and Victoria if you are looking for two professionals that can ensure you have a smooth process for your hair and makeup. -

Victoria and Donna Rae did an incredible job for our group!
Working with Victoria felt so effortless. She put together the schedule for the hair and make-up order and send out thorough procedural reminders that I could easily forward to my bridal party, which was a huge weight off my shoulders.
Since I was an out-of-town bride, I didn’t have time to do a hair or make-up trial, but Victoria worked with me to assess styles would work for my hair. She was able to create a beautiful up-do based on an inspiration photo and work around my under-cut. The style stayed intact all night, standing up the wind and my dancing (not an easy feat for my hair texture). I was so pleased with the natural glowing looks that Donna Rae was able to provide for all my ladies.
Everyone in the bridal party felt special and taken care of. Each person had a style they suited their personality and looked cohesive. The confidence that radiated from each woman after leaving Victoria and Donna Rae had finished was absolutely priceless. -

Kali Sent on 10/08/2023Look no further for your hair and makeup team!
Victoria and Donna Rae are fantastic! No need to look further for your hair and makeup team! They are so wonderful to talk with (don’t overlook this part of your wedding planning! You’ll be spending half your day with them!), are the best at their trade, and were very reasonably priced. Everyone looked so amazing, and they really took time to make sure you’re comfortable with the final result. Victoria took a lot of care to discuss my hair type and what was realistic with me. I’m a semi makeup-minimalist in real life, and Donna Rae was able to make me feel like a super model without feeling like my skin was bogged down. Additionally, I have a weird reaction to eye products and she was so gracious to use the off the beaten path product that I’ve found doesn’t cause any issues. -

Victoria and Donna Rae are amazing!! Before the wedding, Victoria helped me figure out the best accessories to put in my hair. Donna Rae made some great recommendations for my skin care routine. We planned to get married in August to avoid rain on our wedding day, but of course it rained anyway… We still held the ceremony outside and afterwards you couldn’t even tell, my hair and makeup held up through water, wind, and dancing into the night. One of my bridesmaids loved their work so much she asked to add on services for herself! Thank you for everything ladies -

Amazing experience!!
We had such a great experience with Donna Rae and Victoria for my sisters wedding! They followed exactly what people were envisioning and completely blew our expectations! They made sure each and every person was perfect before they left and as the maid of honor, was so happy with my hair and makeup look. Not only are they incredibly skilled and professional, but so sweet and easy to work with. We were doing all the hair and makeup in a small room and they were easy to chat with, fun, and engaged. I would absolutely recommend hiring them for a wedding!!! -

Hair & makeup for wedding
Victoria is the absolute best! She did both my hair and makeup for my wedding in May. I wanted a timeless, old-Hollywood 1940's glamour look, provided some sample images, and then after some very easy and helpful text exchanges, met for our hair and makeup trial. Victoria was kind, thoughtful and welcomed feedback throughout the process. I was so thrilled, I loved everything on the spot! When it came time for the wedding day, she did hair and makeup for myself, and two other family members. Victoria did an amazing job on all of us! We each wanted a completely different look and we were all extremely happy. She's very professional, put us all at ease, and we had such a fun time! I highly recommend Victoria, she does such beautiful work, I could not have been happier. -

Victoria is a truly incredible hair stylist!
Victoria styled my hair for my wedding in June 2022. My hair is thin so I was concerned the classic wavy style I desired would be difficult, but that was no issue for Victoria. With a few clip in hair extensions that I had and her magic, my hair turned out even better than I had imagined. Victoria worked efficiently to have my hair, my sisters, and my mothers hair done on time. We were all so happy with her work and I will hire again in a heartbeat for another future life occasion. Thank you Victoria for providing the most kind and beautiful service on my wedding day ❤️ -

Artistry by Victoria
Victoria did above and beyond job on my hair and my bridesmaids. She was on time, and very organized! She was confident in each style my girls came to her with, and made them feel even more beautiful. I did not do a hair trial before my wedding day, so I was a little nervous but once I showed her pictures of the hair style I wanted I knew I was in good hands. My hair turned out so beautiful and I honestly felt like a Queen, all thanks to Victoria! I highly recommend artistrybyvictoria for your wedding day or any other big event. She is so fabulous!!! -

First of all, I'm so appreciative of how responsive and professional Victoria was with scheduling everything and setting my expectations. It's stressful enough planning a wedding and working with organized people makes this process so much easier!
We had so much fun on the day of my wedding! We even invited them to stay for the wedding since they were so much fun to work with! haha. My makeup and hair turned out just as I imagined and I appreciated that they used good quality products.
I HIGHLY recommend working with these two for all of your beauty needs! -

Victoria is a delight - warm and engaging and fun. She is quick to respond to questions and made scheduling a breeze. I arranged a bridal hair consultation for my daughter and Victoria made great recommendations based on the bride’s hair and inspiration photos. She also provided suggestions for a slight pre-wedding style change to be able to create the desired romantic tendrils.
Victoria is also a make up artist and she introduced us to Donna Rae (makeupbydonnarae). Together they did a fabulous make up trial, making it a one-location, seamless appointment.
These two very talented women clearly work well together! Despite a torrential downpour and pounding hail outside, we were cozy, comfortable and relaxed indoors, and ended the appointment with confidence that my daughter’s look for her wedding will be exquisite! -

She did my makeup for the opening of the Space Needle’s new glass floors. And as someone who is scent sensitive and sensitive to most cosmetic products, she knocked it out of the park! She was able to do a full face without me feeling like I was wearing a sheet mask! My large eyelids didn’t crease or slide. Most importantly, I felt like me and pretty for the night! It was my first makeup experience in years and I can’t wait for another event to call her up for round 2! Such a lovely and kind lady … don’t hesitate and book her now!

Embodying a Five-Star Experience
Full disclosure: Victoria is my sister. That said, I trusted her with my wedding look and she gave me brows on point, flawless skin and a perfectly executed look!!! She completed my bridal makeup with perfect symmetry and gave me the natural glam vibe I was hoping for. She worked quickly and confidently and looking back, it was those details that helped my morning flow so smoothly. She showed up exactly when I had asked her to and completed my look (and joojed up our mom and my daughter) with time to spare. Her excellence certainly speaks to the many years she's had elevating beauty in the industry but also to her creativity and artistic talent. She makes her work feel like play, but executes it like you're meant to be on the red carpet. Beyond her hair and makeup forte, Victoria has a huge heart and is one of the kindest and generous humans I know. She has a super easy going personality (which helped calm my nerves the morning of) and loves to laugh and have fun. She is a skilled professional and can be definitely be trusted for any special event where you want to look your absolute best!!! -
