    I absolutley loved KY and Barbara! These two were amazing. From the consultation to the day of the wedding was fabulous. KY was on time, I wasn't. I was running late all day that day. When I got in the chair, it was amazing. KY went right to work and had me finished by 4pm. KY came to you anywhere you needed her and she is amazing stylist. I can't thank them enough for making me feel the most beautiful!

    Bridal and Wedding Party Hair and Makeup

    I was so happy with our experience with Bridal Artistry for my October Wedding (Norma for hair and Sondra for makeup). They were both so friendly, flexible and professional. They took feedback so graciously and made adjustments based on my bridal trial and even in real time. They made me feel comfortable and confident and made sure my final look was exactly what I envisioned. Multiple members of my wedding part commented on how this was the best wedding hair and makeup experience they’ve had. Overall, couldn’t have been happier especially with how affordable it was compared to other DC area vendors! Would highly recommend!

    Amazing wedding HMU!

    Thanks to Bridal Artistry, I felt like an absolute princess throughout my wedding weekend! My husband and I had a 2-day half Indian wedding, and Mandy and Nora did my hair and makeup both days including head jewelry and extensions. They did beyond amazing!!! I received so many compliments on both days and loved how everything turned out! During the trial, they tried the looks for both days and worked with me to make sure it came out exactly how I wanted. They also did amazing hair and makeup for my bridesmaids, mom, and MIL! All of my bridesmaids had Indian head jewelry as well, and Mandy was able to incorporate it into their hairstyles beautifully. I truly can't thank them enough for making us all feel so beautiful!!

    Heidi Gracie Shea was the best!

    Heidi Shea in Leesburg, VA was the artist who did my hair. She did a fabulous job. I went to her home in Leesburg a few months before my wedding to do a hair trial. My hair is very long and thin and does not easily hold curls. Learning from the trial we were able to make adjustments for the day of the wedding and it held perfectly from 11:00 a.m. all the way until I showered after hours of dancing and having a wonderful time at my wedding. She was very responsive and kind throughout the whole process. She came to the hotel where we were staying any getting ready on the day of the wedding and was right on time. I did my own makeup but Heidi did my mother and mother-in-law's makeup and hair. They both looked beautiful and like themselves as opposed to looking over the top with makeup. My hair was perfect for a perfect wedding thanks to Heidi!

    Must Use Bridal Artistry DC!

    I had the most AMAZING experience working with Bridal Artistry DC for my wedding! Barb was really easy to work with to set everything up and very accommodating with my large bridal party (8 Bridesmaids, 2 Junior Bridesmaids, 2 Flower Girls and 2 moms)!! Nora and Sondra did such a great job accommodating everyone's hair style wishes while Norma and Stephanie perfectly executed the natural make-up look we all wanted. Scheduling a trial was easy and Nora and Norma help me try many style varieties until we locked down the perfect look for my big day. Overall, their flexibility, responsiveness, straightforward pricing, flawless execution made this such a great experience. Everyone's hair and make-up held up the entire evening despite DC summer heat and LOTS of dancing! Everyone even got to keep a lipstick for touch ups! I HIGHLY recommend booking with them for you wedding or any big event!

    Amazing experience (Sondra & Stephanie)

    I worked with Sondra and Stephanie for my wedding and they were truly amazing! During my hair and makeup trial they helped me think about what look I wanted and were willing to try different styles until we found the right one. On the day of my wedding, they were very prompt, extremely professional, and fun! My bridesmaids and I felt so beautiful! I would highly recommend working with Bridal Artistry!

    AMAZING Experience!!

    I rarely write reviews but I had such a phenomenal experience with Sondra, Stephanie and Barbara! I loved my hair and makeup and they stayed perfect the whole night. They helped me find a last minute photographer when I ran into an issue with who I had lined up. And they were super fun and it was great to have them around while getting ready. I can't say enough good things!

    We had so much fun!

    My bridesmaids and I don't wear makeup or do our hair often, and was looking for a more natural look. Jacinda (hair) & Nora (MU) understood the assignment and made it easy to look beautiful for the wedding and still feel like ourselves. What I didn't expect what how much fun Jacinda and Nora would be. Being around their positive, easy going, understanding personalities kicked off the wedding day on a good not. It put me at ease knowing that they have it handled. Plus they were extremely punctual and got us all ready right on time.

    My mom wanted to make some adjustments to her hairstyle, but didn't know how to communicate it. Jacinda allowed my mom to use her tools to try to do it. After patiently watching, Jacinda quickly understood what my mom wanted, and took care of it! It could have been a stressful moment, especially with the language barrier, but Jacinda observation skills and kindness really made a difference.

    I highly recommend 100%!

    The best!!

    I'm so grateful that I worked with Bridal Artistry, and would recommend them to all brides. I worked with Barbara initially for booking and payment and she was very responsive and answered all my questions. For hair and makeup, I worked with Stephanie and Jacinda, and they did an absolutely amazing job making my vision come to life. I had an idea of what I wanted, and they made me look exactly how I'd imagined. It was great to have the chance to do a hair/makeup trial as well. They also did hair and makeup for my bridesmaids, mom and MIL, and everyone raved about what a great job they did. On top of that, Jacinda and Stephanie brought such a great energy to our wedding morning! Would highly recommend Bridal Artistry to all brides!!

    Great hair and makeup experience!

    We had the pleasure of working with bridal artistry for our wedding. Mandy and Nora were so professional and helped me create a perfect wedding look. From my trial to wedding day, they communicated with me to ensure I was happy with my hair and makeup and that the timeline would make the day go seamlessly. Norma and Sondra also helped my bridal crew get ready and they did a great job as well! Overall, we’re super happy we chose to work with bridal artistry and these talented artists!

    Amazing experience with Bridal Artistry

    Bridal Artistry truly made our wedding weekend so special. We loved planning with them and on the weekend itself, the team was so efficient yet kind with not only me but also our family and friends. I loved my makeup so much and received so many compliments on it. They were able to make me glow without overdoing it all, and they also did an incredible job with my hair (despite having multiple events and not being able to wash it in between). Everyone was amazing to work with.

    Before the wedding, they listened to what I liked at the consultation and emailed back and forth with any feedback I had after to ensure I had the look I wanted. During the wedding weekend, I felt incredibly at ease with the team. I loved that they added their own input to what we already decided on - for example, they noticed some green in one of my outfits and added beautiful green and gold eyeshadows. They also touched up my makeup/hair before I even noticed I needed it and stayed back if I ever needed more help.

    Regarding my family and friends, they all told me they loved working with the entire team that weekend. They stuck to the schedule so well, which was very helpful especially with our tight schedule. They are incredibly talented, professional, respectful, kind, and so fun. Everyone loved their makeup and hair, and I know my friends and family would not hold anything back if they had something to say. They made everyone feel so beautiful, and I would highly recommend them!

    Thank You Norma & Nora!

    Norma & Nora were my makeup team for a two-day wedding celebration. They were so wonderful and made everyone feel beautiful. In a very touching moment, Grandma teared up when she saw how lovely Nora's make-up looked on her. Norma gave me some great advice during our H&MU trial on what to ask my hair salon to do in preparation for the big day(s). Both of them were on time, professional, flexible with our constantly shifting numbers, and fun to be with for 4-ish hours per day!

    A Look that Truly Lasted ALL Day

    I was truly blown away by the hair and makeup team that Bridal Artistry provided me for my wedding day. Mandy did both my hair and makeup and it was better than I could have ever envisioned. I truly felt like a princess. My hair and makeup was done by 10 in the morning and at 3am at the afterparty it still looked like she had just done it - not a hair out of place despite my endless dancing! (Photo included below.)

    In addition to me, my bridesmaids, mom, and mother-in-law all looked equally fantastic! Everyone was happy with both their hair and their makeup.

    Bridal Artistry was easy to work with and the owner, Barbara, consistently communicated with me to make sure everything was going great.

    Extremely pleased & highly recommend

    I had the pleasure of having do Jacinda do my hair and makeup and Mandy do my bridesmaids' hair. From the hair/makeup trial, I knew it was a great fit. Jacinda knew listened and understood the look I was going for and made it a reality. She's also just a very nice person and I truly enjoyed getting to work with her. My bridal look was exactly what I hoped for and fit in my budget. Throughout the process, they were very responsive to email and communicative. I am so glad I chose to work with Bridal Artistry DC and couldn't recommend them more highly!

    Total professionals

    So many thanks to the Bridal Artistry team (Barbara, Mandy, and Norma) who really made our daughter's wedding day special. They arrived early and put the bride and her maid of honor at ease, while enhancing (rather than replacing) their look. A special shout out to Norma, who did the hair and makeup trial.

    This firm really stood out for being so careful about Covid - masks, sanitization, and awareness of risks to family and guests. We are very grateful to them for their care during a very complex time.

    Bridal Artistry was Perfect

    We coordinated with Barb and worked with Norma for hair and Sondra for makeup. Both Norma and Sondra were lovely, super helpful and just great at their craft.

    The ladies in the wedding party all had different length and types of hair, Norma did a great job making everyone feel their best and everyone’s hair held up all night.

    Sondra was so patient and understanding, I have never felt more beautiful! The makeup lasted for hours and we even went out to party after the wedding!

    Both Sondra and Norma were a delight to work with and I would highly recommend them to anyone who wants to look and feel their most beautiful for their wedding.

    Highly recommend Bridal Artistry!

    I can't recommend Bridal Artistry enough! Barbara and Norma were great to work with and were so flexible and patient with us as we had to keep changing the date of our wedding due to covid. I only had a vague idea what I wanted my hair and make up to look like on my wedding day, but Norma exceeded my expectations and was able to capture the look I was going for. Looking back at my wedding photos I'm so happy I chose Bridal Artistry to do my hair and make up. You can't go wrong with them - they will make you look absolutely beautiful on your wedding day!

    Amazing for my wedding and bridal portraits

    Barb, Alexa, and Andie were absolutely amazing!! From the trial run (which was in August where I was pouring sweat for my Bridals) to my wedding day, my makeup with Barb stayed FLAWLESS and hair by Alexa was PERFECT! I would highly recommend them for your special event!!!

    Simply the best!

    Bridal Artistry & my artist Jacinda were consummate professionals. Everyone was great at communicating and I knew I could trust my artist to make me shine on my big day! She also did my bestie’s hair/makeup and she absolutely glowed. I just asked my husband what he thought of my hair & makeup at the wedding so that I could put it in the review but he got choked up… so you know it was good :)

    Great experience

    Norma came to my apartment to do my hair and makeup for a special event. She was incredibly responsive via email while we were planning the appointment, and asked for inspiration so that she could plan the styles. She wore a mask the entire time (as I requested and Barbara confirmed was their policy), and sprayed everything with 91% alcohol in front of me...I felt very comfortable with the protocols.

    Norma was super friendly and we had a great chat the entire time. She explained everything she was doing, and it turned out great! I could not be happier with my hair and makeup from Norma.

    The cost was reasonable ($280, plus tip, paid via Venmo).
