Janel S. Sent on 11/25/2023A wonderful experience with Bridal Artistry and their team
I had a wonderful experience with Barb and Alexa. I was recommended to them by a family friend and they did not disappoint! Everything flowed seamlessly from start to finish. They were easy to contact, great with communication, and detail-oriented.
I have some facial blemishes and was initially worried about coverage, but they were able to cover every flaw and it lasted the entire day. Barb took her time applying skin care and cosmetics and made sure everything was exactly how I had envisioned it. We had a few people in the bridal party who also had their makeup done and everyone loved the flawless, natural look that they provided.
Alexa provided hair styles and likewise was wonderful to work with. She made each style that was desired a reality and the hair and curls held all through the evening.
The team was so attentive and great to work with through the whole process.
Still waiting on the official wedding photos, but here are a few that friends snapped.Bridal Artistry NC's reply:
Thank you so much, Janel... Your kind words made our day! What a wonderful bride you were to work with! Can't wait to see those gorgeous wedding pics because you looked amazing and your wedding party were a fabulous group of women! Wishing you newlyweds much happiness together as we move into the Christmas season and a whole new year ahead! -

Jessica M. Sent on 05/07/2024Amazing Experience - will help you when things go wrong!
Barb and her team were absolutely amazing with all of the planning and execution of our hair and makeup plan for the wedding. I originally hired her specifically because I have a bridal party of a variety of mixed races and skin tones and I knew she had experience with a wide variety of ethnicities when it comes to makeup, as well as her hair stylist, Veronica, who has loads of experience with all different hair types and textures under the sun. The week of the wedding, Barb had an unfortunate accident and was unable to do my makeup...but she immediately called me and made sure to have another amazing artist substitute for me who did amazing. Her communication and planning was great and we had everything put together by the time the day came around. Veronica did all of our hair flawlessly and her makeup substitute artist was great and she always includes the lip color she uses on you for the wedding for you to take home! A very caring touch.Bridal Artistry NC's reply:
I so love your kind review, Jessica! Things happen, but there is always a good Plan B, if you have built up enough connections & credibility in the wedding industry! So glad we could get a great replacement makeup artist and keep seamlessly on track for you wedding day beauty services! You were a joy to work with and I wish you & Mr the very best, navigating life together!! -

Ryan G. Sent on 04/26/2024Sondra and Steph are an amazing duo!
I was one of the lucky clients who was able to get a Bridal Artistry DC contract before Barbara decided to solely focus on her North Carolina location. When I came for my hair and makeup trial, there was a bit of an issue with the stylist I was initially assigned to and within ten minutes of reaching out to Barbara and telling her my concerns, she found an alternative hair and makeup team for me ! I had the pleasure of having Steph Cluff as my hair stylist and Sondra Lewis as my makeup artist and can I just say - wow. I never felt as beautiful as I did on my wedding day and that was a huge part thanks to the wonderful work these girls did!
For my trial, they traveled a pretty substantial distance in the evening to make sure they could complete my trial before I had to go out of town and they had the most wonderful ideas for what I can do for my hair and make-up. Unfortunately, one of the people in my party decided to not get their hair and make-up done, but Steph and Sondra were happy to accommodate me regardless. I made some last minute changes for my wedding day hair and Steph perfectly executed my vision and Sondra’s makeup was flawless. Not to mention that these two women are also incredibly kind and were such a joy to have around on the morning of my wedding when my nerves were at an all time high. Highly recommend!Bridal Artistry NC's reply:
Can't thank you enough, Noam, for the very detailed & excellent review of our services for your wedding day!! It's so wonderful to hear your praises of Sondra & Stephanie who are like beauty "super heroes" for handling whatever situation they encounter with grace and efficiency! I am so glad you were thrilled and we could accommodate what was needed for your special wedding day! BTW, I am still referring bride requests to those on the DC Team who are now handing the details themselves. Don't hesitate to point your bride-to-be friends to me or Sondra to get top notch services ~~ Gratefully, Barbara -

Ty Leatherman Sent on 12/16/2023Wonderful to work with!
Barb (makeup) and Alexa (hair) were so great to work with for my wedding! We did a trial a few months before so they were aware of my style and what would work with my skin tone. I knew from then that I was in good hands. Barb was so kind and flexible with last minute additions and brought Kerah (makeup) in to ensure we would stay on time. My bridesmaids were able to select any hairstyle they liked and Alexa was willing and able to accommodate all of their wishes. Barb and Kerah provided flawless makeup and everyone looked so beautiful. I, incorrectly, assumed I needed airbrush makeup to last all day but Barb assured me that her 24-hour, hand applied makeup would work best and she was not wrong. My makeup still looked great 12 hours, and many tears and dances, later! I highly recommend Bridal Artistry for your wedding makeup and hair.Bridal Artistry NC's reply:
Thank you, Ty! You were a fun and lovely bride to work with and so were your wedding party. Alexa & I (Barb) so much appreciate you taking times to write us a detailed review and are so glad we could start your wedding day off with bringing the beauty to add! Can't wait to see your photo gallery and how it all came together on your special day. Blessings to you newlyweds ~~ -

Mariella A. Sent on 12/15/2023Great service
Barb, Alexa, and Kerah were great to work with and made my special day fun and stress-free! Alexa is the most talented stylist I have worked with. My girls' hair was so pretty, my youngest even said she wanted Alexa to do her hair for prom. Thank you!Bridal Artistry NC's reply:
Thank you, Mariella! You were wonderful to work with! We appreciate you trusting us with your wedding day styling and I am passing along your praises for Alexa's hair styling skills!
Many years of happiness to you newlyweds launching married life together!! -

Kendall M. Sent on 11/07/2023Loved Barb!
I worked with Barb from Bridal Artistry for my wedding makeup. I couldn’t have been happier with the results! A few weeks earlier, we did a makeup trial and she took excellent notes so that the day of was a breeze! She really listened to my preferences and checked in several times during the process to make sure I was happy with the progress. She showed up on time and was very professional. She’s also a wonderful conversationalist and before I knew it, she was done! I would definitely hire her again for any makeup needs!Bridal Artistry NC's reply:
Thank you, Kendall, for your sweet review! I so appreciate your kind words and wish you two newlyweds a happy future of loving together! -

Katrina Sent on 06/13/2023Excellent team for hair and makeup. Highly recommend Barb and Laura
Barb and Laura are an excellent team. They both are very professional and listened to me when I described the style I was looking for. The trial run didn’t take to long and the day of my wedding went smoothly. I would highly recommend this team. My hair and makeup lasted the entire time.Bridal Artistry NC's reply:

Cynnamon T. Sent on 12/13/2022Absolutely incredible!
From the trial to the actual wedding day Alexa and Barbara were so responsive and organized. They made my bridesmaids and I feel so beautiful! We all felt like princesses. I could not recommend them enough. They were able to get all 6 of us ready with plenty of time before the ceremony. They are absolute rockstars!Bridal Artistry NC's reply:
You, Cynnamon, and your friends were a pleasure to work with and I am so glad you chose Bridal Artistry to glam up your wedding day! Alexa & I loved creating the styling and are so glad that we made everyone feel "like princesses"..... always our goal to make you feel special. Congratulations to you newlyweds!! -
Amy Sent on 12/11/2022
So happy working with bridal artistry dc!
I loved working with Barb for my makeup and Naomi for my hair!
I was hesitant to do a trial but ultimately decided to, and would 100000% recommend. If you’re like me and think “eh I’ll be ok without one,” think twice! Haha.. they both helped me find my look and we talked in SO much detail to get the exact look I wanted, and I felt like a princess the day of the wedding.
Do a trial and be open with what you want, and you will have not a worry in the world about your wedding look!
My bridesmaids looked fabulous too!!!Bridal Artistry NC's reply:
Thank you so much, Amy, not only for your great review of our services but for recommending the pre-wedding trial session as so vital!! It does make such a difference for us to be able to meet in person and test out the hair styles/makeup looks that work best for you. It eases any anxiety for you -- but also for us, since our #1 goal is to create the styling that makes you look (& feel) both beautiful AND comfortable on your Big Day.
Our very best wishes for you newlyweds launching your married life together! -

Barb and her team are beyond excellent! I was new to the area when planning my wedding. I inquired with Bridal Artistry and I do not regret it!!! She responds fast and planning was professional! The team went above and beyond to create my beautiful wedding day look! She does a wedding trial to make sure every hair/makeup detail is to your liking of the big day!

Olivia M. Sent on 11/15/2022Wonderful to Work with!
Bridal Artistry was wonderful to work with for my wedding! I had originally decided to do my own make-up, but about two months away from my wedding date, I decided to look instead for a make-up artist. Barb was quick to respond to my emails, and was willing to travel to my wedding! She made the whole experience so easy! She scheduled a zoom call for us, during which I could talk about what make-up I'd like to wear on my wedding.
When we were all getting ready, not only did Barb do an excellent and beautiful job with my make-up, but she helped me feel calm and collected as we prepared for the wedding. I would definitely recommend her to a friend! I could not have been more pleased with the end result!!
The make-up itself was clean and classy. It allowed me to feel like "me" while still dressing up the occasion.Bridal Artistry NC's reply:
Olivia ~ You were wonderful to work with, too! Thank you for taking time to write such a great, detailed review. So glad I could be a calming presence in the midst of a fast-paced wedding prep time -- and, I love it that you felt the makeup I did was "clean and classy"!
Can't miss out on wishing you much happiness as you two navigate life together !!! -
Cathy S. Sent on 07/30/2020
She is truly an artist! Very impressive!
Barbara drove to our house (over an hour away!) and did make up on 7 of us in a row. She is truly an artist! I thought everyone looked absolutely beautiful and very natural as well. We had porcelain white skin to Hispanic skin tones and her color selections were great on all of us.
She knew how to get our eyes to stand out as well as hide my dark circles. She was very professional, fun and enjoyable to talk with.
I highly recommend her to anyone!Bridal Artistry NC's reply:
Thank you so much, Cathy! Taking time to write such a thoughtful review means a lot to me and is much appreciated! I can tell you that it was more than fun for me to do makeup for bride, mom and the wedding party on such a happy day. Blessings to all ~ -

Lindsay C. Sent on 12/17/2021Fantastic to work with, perfect makeup!
Barb did my bridal make up as well as my two bridesmaids and my mom's make up the day of the wedding. My appointment was a last minute kind of so we met via zoom in advance and she listened and really understood all my preferences and concerns. We all loved our makeup and felt beautiful all day!Bridal Artistry NC's reply:
Lindsay ~ Can't thank you enough for the awesome review with details on what you liked best!! It was so much fun doing makeup for you and your wedding party, and it warms my heart to know it was all perfect for your bridal beauty experience.

![Jennie]()
Jennie B. Sent on 07/07/2022The best hair and makeup team!
Barb, Lauren, and their team were amazing! From my trial a few months before to the actual big day, working with Barb was so fun and very easy! I had a total of 10 women plus a flower girl getting their hair and makeup done the day of my wedding so it was a busy morning. Barb provided a schedule with timeslots for all the ladies which really helped ease any stress on my end. They listened to all the ladies requests about how they would like their hair and makeup and everyone looked gorgeous. I highly recommend Bridal Artistry!Bridal Artistry NC's reply:
Thank you, Jennie, for your awesome review of our services! What an amazing wedding day it was! and we loved being there on-site to make sure you and the whole wedding party looked gorgeous for the celebration. We appreciate the affirmation that our skills were exactly on point for your needs. Wishing you newlyweds much happiness!! -

Ann Sent on 01/07/2022Perfection
Barbara was a joy to work with. Like most brides,at first, I thought I knew exactly what I wanted. A natural look with subtle lashes and lip color. As the wedding day approached I realized that this was the one day I could/ should be able to be total glam. Barbara was super understanding and allowed me to do another trial makeup session for a total glam look, the week before the wedding. She nailed it! Also, my advice to anyone who may fake and bake like I do be sure to ask Barbara for her advice on skin care, cleansers, toner, etc. I have dry and oily skin so going to the tanning bed usually helps my breakouts, but with all the stress of the wedding I had a bit more breakouts then usual. Barbara did a fantastic job. I personally fell in love with the Bridal Artistry line Makeup she uses. My skin can be very sensitive as well and this line of makeup has been the best by far! Her assistant also received all the praise for her ability to do a total BOMB red lip all the way down to a simple elegant eye and lip. If you take anything away from this just know that Barbara and her Team truly care about every single client they work with from the Bride herself, the mother of the bride and all the bridesmaids. These ladies really take their years of experience and focus on your skin specifically. I would love to work with Barbara in the near future:)Bridal Artistry NC's reply:
Thank you so so much, Ann, for taking the time to write so much detail on what you liked about our services into your Awesome review! You were such a delight to work with and I am so happy that we nailed your look for these wedding day photos. This is the makeup that lasts (photographically) for a lifetime! Wishing you both every happiness together ~ Barbara -

Emily H. Sent on 10/17/2021Professional and Talented!
Barbara and Lauren were both so wonderful to work with as my hair and makeup team for my wedding. Firstly, you could tell that they were true professional and very knowledgeable about their field! My hair stayed in place all night long despite all the crazy running around and my make up stayed on without any smears or smudges! My favorite part about my make up was that it felt light and airy! Both Barbara and Lauren really worked with me to bring out the highlights of my face and it shows in my wedding photos!! I would definitely recommend them for future brides or anyone looking to get an excellent hairstyle or make up for any event or occasion. They're definitely the ones to go to!Bridal Artistry NC's reply:
Thanks, Emily, for taking time to write such a great, detailed review of our hair & makeup services. You & your ladies were awesome to work with and we had such fun getting everyone ready for your celebration! It is a blessing for us to know that we made a beautiful difference in bringing your wedding day dreams to reality ~ -
