Shoham Sent on 02/13/2025The absolute best
Allison did my bridal hair and I could not be happier with how it turned out!! I did a trial with her but then completely changed my mind and had her do a whole different look day of the wedding. But she was so so kind about it and absolutely nailed the look for me and for my bridesmaids. My hair lasted all night long which is especially impressive since my hair is not good at holding curls. She also was so comforting and kind, and was so much fun to hang out with throughout the getting ready process!! Could not recommend Allison and the Ave42 team more. -

My past experiences with getting my hair/makeup done professionally hasn’t been great. I have extremely thing hair, and have always been anxious over that. My hair stylist Ash was up to the challenge! She made me feel so incredibly beautiful—more so than I think I may have ever felt. She was patient and always willing to give her honest opinion. And most importantly—she never gave up on my hair. It looked stunning and I can’t thank her enough.
Krista did my makeup and she was fabulous! She clearly is a seasoned veteran of the makeup worls
D. She did my makeup quickly and provided all over coverage to conceal my freckles without it looking like I was a ghost!!
I loved every minute of my time working with Ave 42. They are not cheap—but I think with great artistry there comes a price. You truly do get what you paid for. Thank you all so much!!! -

I can’t say enough good things about the ladies at Avenue 42. From consultation, to booking, to correspondence, to hair & make up trials and finally to wedding day everything was perfect. I worked with Diane a lot while setting up the booking and the timeline and she was always responsive and able to accommodate every request. Even a week before the wedding, my fiancé’s grandmother asked if she could get her makeup done and without any hesitation, Diane added her to the roster. Jane, Krista and Allison not only kept us on schedule, but made everyone feel special and comfortable. We had a group of 11, ages 9 to 87 getting hair and makeup done and everyone looked amazing! Everyone was so pleased with how they looked on my wedding day, especially when looking back at the pictures. I worked with Jane for my hair and makeup trials as well. She created a look for me that was absolutely perfect, even though I couldn’t really articulate what exactly I wanted. I did the trials in the salon and the ladies traveled to our venue for wedding day. Everyone looked beautiful and we all couldn’t be happier! Definitely recommend the talented ladies at Avenue 42. -

Brooke Sent on 04/24/2018I absolutely loved working with Natalie, Heather, and Britny for my wedding! My best friend suggested I work with them and after looking at their work online I went ahead and booked them even before my trial. I had my trial a month before with Natalie & Heather and I knew they were going to make me feel so beautiful and they didn't disappoint. Every one of my bridesmaids and my mother looked absolutely amazing. Thank you all for everything! I 100% recommend them for anyone who needs hair or makeup in the Richmond area.

Erica Sent on 05/04/2019Best wedding hair and makeup!
Noelle and Brighton did hair and makeup for myself and my bridesmaids the morning of my wedding. We were staying at the Graduate and were able to walk over the Ave 42. They had us set up in the upstairs area which was beautifully open and airy. We were able to relax and lounge around while they worked their magic. Based on our minimal direction (none of us are really girly girls), they gave us all the perfect hair and makeup. My hair stayed in all day and night and survived wind, an outfit change, and a lot of dancing. Our makeup all looked great throughout the day as well. As someone who does not typically wear a lot of make up, it felt very light and natural despite being full coverage. I cannot recommend Noelle and Brighton enough for their skill and sweet personalities! -

Camden Sent on 10/31/2016I really enjoyed working with the ladies that came to do my wedding! Diane was awesome at helping to book the reservations, and the ladies that did our hair and make up were amazing. My bridesmaids all looked absolutely beautiful and everyone was so happy with the turn out. They were great and easy to work with and I definitely recommend them!Avenue 42's reply:

Melissa Sent on 06/11/2021The best hair and makeup out there!
Avenue 42 was AMAZING to work with! I had 9 total people getting hair and makeup done the morning of my wedding, and Ave 42 suggested we have 3 stylists – one for hair, one for makeup, and one that did both. Jane did my bridal hair and makeup and could not have done a more perfect job. I wanted something soft, romantic, and not too dramatic, and she absolutely delivered. When I went in for my trial she was so helpful talking through my vision, and redid my hair until it was perfect. And it looked even better on the wedding day itself! We had Kara doing makeup and Noelle doing hair for my bridesmaids, and everyone was so thrilled with how they looked. All three ladies were so lovely as well, and made the morning of my wedding so fun and easy. The winds reached up to 40mph during my outdoor ceremony, and everyone still looked flawless afterwards. Highly recommend working with Ave 42 – they are professional, talented, and just all around wonderful. -
