    Reccommend!

    I had such a lovely experience with DC Elite! The entire process was made so simple. They were precise in asking what I wanted and delivered a beautiful look for both my hair and makeup for my wedding day. Everyone on the team was very professional and talented in their trade. I highly recommend DC Elite if you are looking for hair and makeup for your big day!

    Thank you Sheila! We appreciate the kind words, and we loved being part of your day as well! Wishing you all our best!

    Highly recommend!

    First of all, it was a great experience working with Melissa, the team's coordinator. She was so responsive and communicative through everything. I ended up doing a couple different hair & makeup trials to get the exact look I was aiming for and she was amazing with setting everything up for me. The hairstylists Katrina & Karina were great. I needed a tattoo covered and their specialist Angie was able to do that for me - she did such a great job! And Teresa is INCREDIBLE with makeup. I had a really bad cyctic acne flare on the morning of the wedding (of course). But it didn't matter at all - she covered everything up perfectly and even gave me a face mask treatment before putting on makeup. Also, I've had so many bad experiences in the past with professional makeup being way too much. Teresa did a great job putting together a natural bridal look for me that made me feel so gorgeous. I would absolutely hire her again in a heartbeat!!!

    Such kind words! Thank you so much Meredith! Your photos are absolutely stunning and we appreciate you sharing your experience. Our team loved working with you as well. Congrats again beautiful!

    Great hair and makeup for wedding!

    Had a great experience. Hair and makeup came out perfectly for my wedding. The artists were really professional and responsive to what I was looking for, and just really nice people all around. Def will use again (hopefully I don't get married again, but for another event haha!)

    Amazing job incorporating extensions

    I was a little worried about incorporating my extensions into my glam waves look as they were dyed to match my base color, but my hair was heavily balayaged - but Sarah made it work and it looked perfect! SOOO happy with how it came out! Perfect!

    Perfect for a Multicultural Bridal Party

    We had an amazing experience!! Teresa, Phrenchie, Sharon, and India were absolutely incredible. Super responsive, super flexible, and everyone looked truly stunning by the end of the process. We had a very multicultural wedding party with many different skin tones, hair types and textures, facial structures, and other attributes and they made everyone look truly incredible. We would recommend them to anyone!

    DC Elite Image by Teresa Foss Beauty's reply:

    Thank you Jordan for taking the time to review our services. We loved being part of your wedding day and meeting all of your friends + family. We are delighted to hear you had a wonderful experience and hope we get to work with you + Karen again in the future!

    A million thumbs up!

    The team showed up a few minutes early to set up and did an impressive job staying on schedule doing hair and makeup for myself, four bridesmaids, two moms and my grandmother— with plenty of time for touch-ups. The DC Elite image team was friendly and professional every step of the way, and the results were incredible. It poured all afternoon before my wedding and somehow my hair and makeup held all night long!

    Fabulous experience

    I am absolutely thrilled with DC Elite Image. My hair and makeup for my wedding were exactly what I had hoped for, and the team was a joy to work with. Teresa and Phrenchie, in particular, were extremely patient and very talented. I highly recommend them!

    Best choice I could have made

    After 2 failed trials with different makeup stylists I finally found Terssa! She and her team were incredible, she came to my house to do the trial and we got along so incredibly well. She was so talented and she listened to me. I could tell she knew exactly what I was trying to ask. for as someone who does not know a lot about makeup. Her. stylists were just as talented and delightful to work with. We all had a blast and enjoyed them to much.

    DC Elite Image - Wedding Makeup

    I can’t say enough great things about Teresa and her team! To start, she was always very responsive and provided recommendations on makeup style and colors based on our wedding theme.

Not only are Teresa and her team extremely talented, but they were an absolute joy to work with and made getting ready so fun. 10/10 experience!!

    Amazing Hair/Makeup vendor

    I chose to have Teresa (up charge) do my makeup and Phrenchie did my hair. Both were very professional but also very fun and good at their craft. My wedding party and myself were very pleased with their work on us. Well worth every penny.

    You ladies were so much fun! We loved being part of your celebration. Wishing you all our best!! XOXO

    Teresa and DC Elite Image are THE best!

    I first met Teresa at my friends wedding — I asked her on the spot if she could also do my makeup because I was so blown away. The team is prompt, organized and professional, I can't recommend enough.

    They work with all hopes and dreams (I first asked for green eyeshadow, and it looked good!).

    Amazing and Flexible

    I had a small party - me, my mom and my MOH. The team was super flexible and so fast! We were chatting with Sharon about the lashes. My MOH said hers have never lasted past the reception. Sharon's lashes survived the wedding, and a shower yesterday morning. Everyone looked so beautiful. Thank you for making us feel special on such a big day.

    Sharon, Angie and Katrina were fenomenal! They did my hair and makeup, my three bridesmaids, my mom, mother-in-law and grandma. My 92 year old grandma looked sooo beautiful and happy! It was so special to see her looking like a Queen! All of the girls loved their work. My makeup was gorgeous and lasted the entire night! It was great working with these girls. Highly recommend them.

    Wonderful experience!

    Working with DC Elite Image was an amazing experience. My party of 12 worked with Sharon, Phrenchie, Angie and India and they were all first class. Everyone was so happy with how their hair and makeup turned out and the team was also really nice and flexible. They were truly a joy to work with and have with us that day. Melissa, the Office Manager, was a very responsive coordinator and scheduler prior to the wedding. Starting off my wedding day with DC Elite Image really set the tone for an amazing day.

    Turned Out Gorgeous!

    She was great! I was super stressed because my original makeup artist cancelled and I had to find a replacement 3 weeks before the wedding. DC Elite Image was very flexible and made time to fit me into their schedule despite the short notice. I really appreciate it! The makeup turned out beautiful, thank you so much!!

    What an amazing team!

    Teresa and her team are stellar! My best friend had used their services for her wedding 2 years ago, and I loved their work, so I reached out to them for my wedding, as well, and I was lucky enough to book them despite their very busy schedule. For my wedding, I had Teresa and Angie for make-up, and Phrenchie for hair. Teresa is very meticulous and makes the whole experience super enjoyable, Angie is very sweet and even made time to do touch-ups for all the girls, and Phrenchie is awesome because she's super fast and will literally take a Pinterest inspiration photo and turn your hair into magic! I only wish I could have another wedding celebration so I could use them again!

    Personal & Beautiful Inside & Out!

    Teresa, Phrenchie & team were a dream for my wedding day! They felt like close friends after spending time with my family and bridal team. Their makeup and styling was lovely, but their hearts were full of caring and love too! I would highly recommend to anyone seeking a personable, reliable and professional team. Can't thank you enough ladies and Melissa too for coordinating all and taking such good care of us, inside and out! With love and gratitude, Sara Schmieg xoxo

    Great artists and we’re amazing on my special day!

    It was hard to find hair and makeup to come to a venue for just me, but I didn’t have a wedding party and wanted my hair and makeup at the venue. I didn’t realize that it was a hassle for many to come out if it’s just for 1 person. DC elite came, showed up on time, did amazing work and helped calm me down and feel super special.

    Pleasant experience, good results

    I had Angie for makeup and Phrenchie for hair – they were professional, prompt, knowledgeable, respectful and warm. I’d say generally they did a good job incorporating my suggestions and being responsive to my needs, but as always with hair and makeup, folks tend to gravitate towards their own vision and towards what they know how to execute. I’m happy I had a trial, because the makeup had to be considerably toned down for the actual wedding, despite both Angie and Phrenchie trying to convince me that the initial iteration was necessary for the makeup to be visible in photos. In person, it looked like I had a mask on. Having the experience of several years of modeling, I was confident that a more subtle and elegant makeup would still be visible in photos, which ended up being the case, but I felt I had to overcome a bit of resistance, including on the day of the event. The trial was also a bit rushed for the makeup, resulting in some areas where the foundation looked cakey or uneven. I also wasn’t impressed with the brows, so asked that Angie use my pencil on the day of the actual wedding, which she did, to a much better result. I thought my hair looked better for the actual trial than for the wedding, but Phrenchie did her best to incorporate my suggestions and managed to work in a very tight space, given that my photographers had set up shop almost everywhere there was natural light in the room. My mother’s French twist was also set a little lower than I had showed in example photographs, but overall it looked very nice. Melissa, the office manager, was also very helpful throughout the process, and assuaged my hygiene-related fears. She didn’t, however, go into any detail about their cleaning procedures or other protocols, unlike other makeup and hair companies I researched for the wedding. I always tend to think more information is better, but I understand that time is precious. All in all, I would recommend them, but make sure you communicate very clearly about your preferences and expectations throughout the process, bring photos as examples and definitely have a trial if you want to ensure you get the result you want!

    Teresa was excellent! She knew exactly what would make my features pop and did so accordingly. The pictures turned out amazing and were a testimony to Teresas amazing work. Not only did her skills as a makeup artist prove to be excellent but I thoroughly enjoyed her company! I highly recommend Teresa's services- I was thrilled with the results!
