Katherine Sent on 09/06/2025Best hair & makeup artist!
Going into wedding planning, I was nervous about booking hair & makeup. I'd been a bridesmaid in the past and always felt like my makeup looked heavy and I didn't "look like me." I decided to book Briana for my wedding and am SO happy to have Briana and her team on our wedding day. Briana is so talented at what she does - she nailed the "natural / soft glam" look that I was hoping for - I felt beautiful and still felt like I looked like myself without "too" much makeup on. She also worked with me before the big day to trial the looks and was so patient and thoughtful as we came up with how I wanted to do my hair for the big day. I would HIGHLY recommend Briana to all brides!!! Thank you so much Briana! -

Briana did both my hair and makeup for my wedding day, and she truly went above and beyond to perfect my look. We had two trials, and she was incredibly patient and understanding throughout the process, making any and all adjustments as needed. Briana listened to every concern and answered all questions, ensuring I loved the final look before we even stepped into the big day.
I genuinely enjoyed every warm and heartfelt conversation we shared while together. What truly impressed me was her dedication to her art and service; she even drove hours to my place for the second trial just to make sure I felt 100% comfortable with the look we had decided on. Each trial was a beautiful collaboration that made the entire experience even more special.
On my wedding day, I received countless compliments about my hair and makeup. I felt absolutely radiant thanks to Briana’s talent and care. HIGHLY recommend!!! -

I felt absolutely stunning at my wedding and she did majority of the bridesmaids hair/makeup and there was not a single complaint to be made! Everyone was beyond happy with their hair and makeup!
She was very kind and respectful, she sent out pre wedding day tips/instructions, and her whole business was very sanitary.
The absolute best! 👏🏼 -

Briana was one of the best things about my wedding day and was part of my great glam team that included Seema of Makeup by Seema. I did not manage to have time to meet for a preview as I lived several hours away, but Briana was so understanding about what I not only wanted, but needed my hair to be like. I have a nerve disorder in my head that causes pain on a varying scale every day of my life that can easily be aggravated by things like ponytails and bobby pins. Briana understood and took exceptional care of my head, and somehow pulled it all off with absolutely no pain. I cannot even manage to do that for myself. It was like an angel was working with my hair, and I wanted to fall asleep in the chair - on my wedding day, what is known to be wildly stressful and panic-inducing. She even created a fantastic system for my veil to sit so it did not bother my head, and I was able to keep it in for several hours without issue, taking it off post-ceremony exactly as I wanted. I got the popular waves and remember her saying she loves doing them but also would like to do more of the boho braids styles. She showed me a video of my hair (posted on Instagram) when she was done and I CRIED. I have never in my life cried over my hair. Briana bopped along to the music we had going and knocked everyone’s hair out of the park. My hair was done around 11AM and was STILL looking great by the time I left the reception. We all have regrets in life, but my team of Briana and Seema will never be one of them. -

I'm SO grateful for Briana and her team's role in making my elopement unforgettable. Right from the start, her prompt responses and thorough communication stood apart. She shared valuable resources and was able to provide recommendations for spas and salons in the area, which was much appreciated. She also gave me input on my skincare and haircare routines and also helped me figure out my hair/makeup vision for the big day.
Briana didn’t miss a beat when my original date was stormed out and seamlessly arranged for her team member, Aileen, to step in. She helped me refine my hair and makeup preferences, which resulted in a stunning look that perfectly complemented my dress and venue. The peace of mind and knowing that I was in capable hands was invaluable. Briana’s professionalism and commitment to her clients was evident. The cost, considering the extensive communication leading up to the big day and the beautiful look, was very reasonable. Overall, I'm thrilled with how I looked on my wedding day. I wholeheartedly recommend Briana and her team. You won’t be disappointed! They truly brought my vision to life and exceeded my expectations. -

Briana was an INCREDIBLE hair and makeup stylist! She was very brave accepting a full bridal party (7! including bride and both moms!) for hair AND makeup on my wedding day back in September. She listened to everyone’s wants and requests and absolutely nailed it every time. She and her co-stylist, Samantha, were such a great additions to my morning. Cannot recommend her enough. -

I was really worried about make-up because I had a very particular style I was looking for. Briana worked with me to provide the best look I could have imagined. She was incredibly patient and very responsive over email. She was also so kind and made great looks for my bridesmaids as well. Over-all SO pleased with her work and highly recommend her services to brides :) -

Amazing wedding makeup and hair!!
Briana is amazing!! She was super nice and fun and professional! We had a really great time talking and laughing while getting hair and makeup done for my bridal trial and for my wedding! She did a wonderful job with my makeup and hair. It turned out just as I wanted - classy, natural, with some shimmer and hints of color! I'm so glad I found her. I was so worried about my face on the week of my wedding because of my skin conditions and she reassured me that it would all turn out great, which it did, and that she used products that were safe for me. I really appreciated that she was so knowledgeable and able to help. I would highly recommend her!!!! -

Amy Sent on 10/19/2022Briana is a DREAM.
We were initially a bit lost when looking for hair and makeup for our wedding… anyone will tell you 2022 is an insane year (and I also was requesting services for myself, thirteen (I know) bridesmaids and family, so didn’t make the search any easier)! Enter Briana, who is one of the most kind and genuine individuals I encountered during my planning process. She has real deal experience working in major city markets and her book of past clients speaks for itself - central Virginia is better for having her! Briana did an incredible job both for my trial and when I changed my mind on half a dozen items day of - she is professional, resourceful and so so sweet. My hair and makeup look turned out even better than I could have imagined (or instagram inspo searched) and lasted THE ENTIRE NIGHT - that’s right, through water and sweat and maybe even a spilled drink on my very combination skin. Briana also carefully curated her team to best support my group, and works with some of the most talented artists in the area - ALL of my bridesmaids were thrilled with their looks (and with thirteen, let me tell you, that is a real accomplishment). Overall, I cannot recommend Briana highly enough, she is an absolute dream to work with. -

Briana is the BEST!
Briana was absolutely incredible! She is so talented and has the sweetest heart - which is so important on your wedding day! I hired her to do my hair & makeup for my wedding, along with 10 of my girls. She brought with her two assistants who were insanely talented. We ended up going 2 hours AHEAD of schedule the day of the wedding (!!!) - and all of the hair and makeup looked stunning. Could not recommend a better vendor for your big day to make you feel your best! -

Briana did my bridal rehearsal dinner hair and makeup, as well as my sister’s makeup. She was UNREAL and her work is insanity. She was also so sweet and started the weekend off on such a high note. She truly doesn’t know how talented she is and we were so grateful ❤️ -

Easy to work with…
My bridal party and I loved working with Briana. I booked her last minute and I was lucky to find out that she was available for my wedding. Not only she is very talented but also punctual, sweet, and accommodating. Briana also has a very nice makeup kit which I always appreciate. I highly recommend her for your wedding if you want your wedding makeup prep to run smoothly and if you want to look as the best version of yourself !!!!! -

Carissa Sent on 05/25/2022Wonderful Hair and Make-up Artist
We were so happy to have Briana be a part of our wedding, and couldn't have been more thrilled with how everything turned out. She did hair and make-up for myself (bride) and my Maid of Honor, and did a phenomenal job with both. She was helpful, kind, thoughtful, and immensely professional. I can't recommend her services enough! -

Hire this Woman you won't regret it!
I knew nothing about hiring a hair and makeup artist and somehow I lucked out with the best one. I had a very diverse bridal party and wanted someone who could work with all skin types and hair textures. She mad everyone look and feel beautiful. I didn't end up having a trial with Briana due to time restraints on my end and I was super nervous. She was so flexible and fixed every detail to my liking. My bridal party loved hanging out with her and she got both my mother in law and my mothers approval. Pick her it is really worth it! -

Bridal hair and makeup
Bre was AMAZING. She was super relaxed which was so helpful because I'm anxiety driven and a total introvert. I asked to make sure the makeup was natural and let my freckles shine through and she delivered! She totally nailed my hair perfectly (girls if you love braids this is your chick!). She also did my 14 year old and 8 year olds hair and makeup and they were so age appropriate and so beautiful and natural. She made all of us feel gorgeous and well taken care of :) If you're looking for an artist who has work on diverse skin colors (my oldest is Mexican, my youngest is Chinese, and I'm white), can keep it natural or doll you up.. I'm telling you she's the best! -

Amazing makeup artist - thank you briana!
Briana is an incredible makeup artist and she made me feel so beautiful on my wedding day! The quality of her work is amazing - my makeup lasted perfectly from morning to evening and it photographed so well. I never felt like I had too much makeup on my face, or that I looked like somebody else, which was very important to me. I felt so comfortable and also felt like the most beautiful version of myself that day. Briana is reliable, so sweet, listens to her clients, and is extremely knowledgable on the products she uses. She was also able to offer her own expertise and suggestions when I was explaining exactly how I wanted to look for the big day. Her professional portfolio is so impressive as well, having worked alongside some of the most prestigious and well-known makeup artists in the industry. Upon meeting Briana for the first time at my makeup trial, I immediately knew I was in good hands with her, and I’m so happy that we were able to work together. She is a true professional and I cannot imagine anyone else doing my makeup for my special day. Thank you Briana!!!! -
