Jessie Sent on 05/25/2026Amazing From Start to Finish!!
Amare beauty team far exceeded my expectations. I have been in a lot of wedding and worked with a lot of hair/make up teams and AnaRie was my favorite by far!! From start to finish they were considerate, detail oriented, kind, supportive and honest about all aspect of the wedding glam experience. I really appreciated their focus on detail- the questionnaire you fill out before the trial and then the way they build upon that so by the time the actual event day arrives, all you have to do is focus on the fun and enjoyment of the experience! The price was totally appropriate for the amazing services provided. The quality of the hair and make up we were provided was amazing - they have really nailed the balance of being “glammed up” while still highlighting and honoring the natural beauty of each person. I cannot recommend Ali, Erika, Andres, Jane, Tanya and the whole AnaRie team enough!! -

Alyssa Sent on 11/04/2025Best choice for bridal hair and makeup!!!
The team at AnaRie Beauty were so wonderful! I had 11 ladies that needed hair and makeup on the wedding day! All of the artists were super warm and open to exactly what our vision was for the big day! It was such a treat! Thank you!!! -

Andrea Sent on 01/06/2025AnaRie is the best for beauty!
We loved Ali and her team at AnaRie from the moment we communicated with them in the beginning of our planning journey. The ladies were all so kind and professional and made my wedding beauty dreams a reality. They remained calm when I changed my mind about doing an updo at the last minute (thank you Andrea!) and even popped in my tiara (thank you Ali!) when I almost forgot to wear it. It was a pleasure spending the day with them with my girls getting ready. :) -

Jennifer Sent on 09/23/2024Loved my wedding hairstyle!
As someone with curly, frizzy hair, I was nervous about finding a wedding hairstylist who could tame my hair and have it looking good throughout the whole day. I ended up booking Andrea from AnaRie since her online portfolio showed lots of curls and half-up twist styles that I wanted for my wedding. I was very happy after the consultation since my hair turned out so beautiful and lasted for hours without becoming frizzy or falling apart. It was just as beautiful on the actual wedding day and somewhat coincidentally all my bridesmaids got essentially the same style and we all looked so good. I was very happy with how my hair looked especially in our wedding photos and throughout the reception. -

Sarah Sent on 09/04/2023The best vendor we hired!
I cannot recommend AnaRie enough!!! Ali and Andrea did an incredible job with the hair and makeup of my entire bridal party, accommodating all ages and styles with ease. Ali and I clicked right away during my hair and makeup trial, and it made me SO calm and confident then and the day of my wedding. I'm not a huge makeup person and I felt like myself but glowy thanks to AnaRie's team. Ali also did my groom's hair - only took 5 min but gave him the confidence he was looking for to have the best day ever. Thank you thank you! -

Rebba Sent on 07/16/2023Amazing service- especially touch up time!
It was such a pleasure to have Sam and Erika with us on our wedding day. They helped me stay calm for the whole morning up right up until going down the aisle. I really appreciated them staying for extra touch up time at the venue. I felt like such a beautiful, confident bride thanks to their work. I truly appreciate their flexibility and creativity through the whole process. They took into account what each member of our party was looking for. I would recommend AnaRie to any couple- they truly go above and beyond to make sure you feel and look your best on a very special day. -

Simone Sent on 06/30/2023Wonderful, Talented Team!
Hiring AnaRie was an easy decision after hearing so many good things about them from the AVL wedding community. Ali and her team were always so responsive and detailed when answering any questions. Ali & Andrea were so great to work with on our wedding day-- they were willing to go above and beyond to make sure the achieved look was perfect, they even went out of their way to make sure to have my favorite blush on hand. They even offered grooming services for my handsome groom! Everyone was extremely happy with their final looks and made us feel beautiful all day long. Highly recommend the AnaRie team!

Amazing Service
As a bride who planned a destination wedding and couldn’t do a trial, I relied heavily on reviews and Instagram. Throughout the entire planning process of my wedding and to this day, Anarie was by far the BEST vendor I worked with. Ali’s communication the entire time was beyond amazing, which already put me as ease. On my wedding day, Ali and Samantha did makeup and hair for 5 people, and absolutely killed it. They arrived early to setup, kept on schedule the entire time and most importantly made me feel like a queen on my wedding day. I’m so thankful for them and glad I had the pleasure of working with Anaire! -

A Day to Remember
Ali and Kerstin were absolutely wonderful to work with! The first thing I told Ali during our consultation was that I have very limited knowledge on makeup application since the most I wear is mascara and a little concealer. I wanted to keep my look on the more neutral side, but with some elevated elements. For my hair, Kerstin did such an amazing job at helping me to achieve the updo I had envisioned (that side braid, though 🤩).
I should also note that it snowed on our wedding day (in April!!) and not ONCE did my hair or makeup budge. They even went out of their way to put together a little "touch up baggie" with extra hair pins, mints, and even some concealer that I did apply from time to time on my cold, red nose. It's those little things that just made it all the better.
Thank you AnaRie for helping to make our wedding day one of the best days of my life. You all helped to highlight the beauty within and I think the emotion on my husband's face during our First Look throughout our day says it all. -

I felt good hiring AnaRie from when I began communicating with Ali. From the beginning she was quick to respond, and very communicative. After my trial I gave her very specific notes because I wear makeup in my day to day and I wanted to look as close to my normal self as possible, and they delivered! My day of makeup was perfect 🤍 -

Incredible Team
This team was so amazing at making me and the most important ladies at our wedding look stunning. They were so sweet, personable, & helpful from the first communication to the trial to the actual wedding day. They helped bring to life my style ideas & both my hair and makeup stayed perfect all day/evening. They were also super accommodating to help create a schedule that would work for our early wedding. Ali, Sam, Erika, & Andrea were so wonderful to work with & I'm super glad I had them on my team! -

AnaRie is the most amazing hair and makeup team out there! They made everyone feel so comfortable and they knew exactly what everyone wanted even when some of us were indecisive. My hair and makeup made me feel like the most beautiful bride. They will provide any style you could think of and will make you feel your best! The AnaRie team is extremely professional and reliable and makes getting ready for your wedding so effortless! They provided a detailed timeline and allowed us to move some services around when needed. Thank you for giving me the confidence I needed to walk down the aisle with ease! I am so happy I was able to have them there with me on my wedding day and would recommend anyone else looking to BOOK THEM NOW!! -
![Penn]()
Penn Sent on 11/30/2021Look no further because AnaRie is AMAZING.
Full stop, because I can't imagine hair and makeup being done by anyone else if you're a WNC bride. Ali and her team are amazingly talented human beings, truly working miracles to give brides and their loved ones a look that makes them look their best on such an important day.
I was a bit nervous because I was planning a wedding from out of state and was too busy to schedule a consultation and find my perfect look. Quite honestly I just had a few ideas floating around my head and didn't give it much thought after that, but on wedding day Ali and Samantha took those ideas, listened to my concerns, asked all the right questions, and et voila -- it all came together perfectly. And even though that was my first time actually meeting them in person, they were so friendly and thoughtful and kind that that whole morning was just a whole lot of fun.
AnaRie also worked their magic on my mom, my mother- and sister-in-law, and everyone looked so beautiful--very much enhanced versions of themselves, and Ali and Samantha highlighted all of our best qualities. They were such a critical part of our amazing day and truly couldn't say enough to recommend a better team to work with! Thank you, AnaRie! -

Debbie Sent on 11/10/2021Professional and talented
We had a delightful experience with the talented professional hair and make up artists of AnaRie for my daughters wedding in Brevard. Not only did they do an outstanding job of hair and make up with the bride and bridesmaids, but I really appreciated their ability to read the look the wedding party wanted perfectly. Ali Lawless was highly communicative, organized, dependable, and very flexible about our prep location. Their experience with timeline and order made for a relaxed, enjoyable, individualized experience for each person. They are true artists, and brought out the natural beauty in each woman. I highly recommend them!! -

Maya Sent on 10/19/2021Wish I could give more than 5 stars!
Oh my goodness... where the heck do I even begin?! Ali and Kerstin were a dream to work with. Ever since my hair and makeup trial, I knew they were going to be such a joy. The quality of work they provide is incredible, but on top of that, they made the morning go by so wonderfully. They were efficient, clean, on time, attentive, and so much more! My hair stayed perfect the entire night (through hours of dancing) and my makeup never smudged (even after many tears and having my husband smear cake all over my face).
Ali and Kerstin have a special place in my heart. I HIGHLY recommend AnaRie!!!!!! -

Fiona Sent on 10/17/2021Hire AnaRie for Your Wedding Day!
Working with AnaRie was a dream! From the beginning, Ali was extremely helpful at answering all of my questions. As we went through the difficult decision to postpone our wedding celebration, she was flexible and understanding. At our trial, my sister and I *cried* because we were so happy with how my make-up (by Ali) and hair (by Andrea) looked. The entire AnaRie team made myself and my bridesmaids feel incredibly comfortable on our wedding day. Not to mention the amazing lip kits they include, which allowed us to touch-up as necessary throughout the day! I highly recommend AnaRie! -

I used AnaRie for make-up for myself, my sister, and my mom, and we were so happy we did! From the beginning, Ali was super responsive and helpful with any question I had. I had a great trial with Amber, and she did an awesome job on our makeup. We all wanted more natural makeup, and she did just that but still made us look and feel very glam! I would highly recommend AnaRie. -

AnaRie did my hair and makeup for my wedding and they were wonderful! Specifically Ali did my makeup and Samantha did my hair. They took the time to help me create a look that was glam but felt like me and not too overdone. They were such a joy to work with and really added so much to my wedding day.
I had never had my makeup professionally done and I was very overwhelmed with where to start and how to pick a vendor. I am sooooo glad I chose AnaRie, Ali was incredible.
I highly recommend their services, they also play great tunes while you get ready! -

Wedding hair and make-up
AnaRie provided the perfect hair and makeup team for our wedding! The hair and makeup artists were so fun and made the whole bridal party feel beautiful. Our hairdos held up all day, even while we were outside most of the time. The makeup artist made my group of girls feel comfortable and natural in their makeup. They will provide whatever style you are looking for and will make you feel your best! The AnaRie team is professional and reliable and makes getting ready for your wedding so easy! They provided a timeline and even had extra time the day of to add a couple extra services. These women are wonderful to work with and I highly recommend them for all your wedding hair/makeup needs! -

Where to begin?! First, you need to book anarie. Ali and her team exceeded every expectation possible. My trial was so much fun, and I felt like I had known Ali for years. Unfortunately we had to postpone due to Covid, but Ali remained understanding and flexible with the whole thing. Her response time is amazingly fast, and always so professional. When it came time to our wedding I had an unexpected schedule change with one of my ladies who needed to go earlier and WOW, Ali accommodated it without any stress or hesitancy. Ali and her team made us all look SO beautiful. Our style was natural/soft glam and they knocked it out of the park. -

Christina Sent on 08/23/2021The BEST Beauty Team!!!
Ali and Andrea saved my wedding day! I ended up getting really sick on the wedding day (and IV had to come to the hotel so I had the strength to walk down the aisle). They both kept me sane and made me look so beautiful you couldn't tell I was as sick as I was!
Talking to them on that day helped me stay in the moment and really anchored me.
They even did my hair and makeup for our newlywed shoot (which we had to do because we got NO pictures just bride and groom because of my sick time-delay). I was able to start processing what actually happened on the wedding day with this getting ready session! They really were on my team and they really care about their brides! I am sooo grateful and blessed they were with me on my wedding day!! Anytime I need my hair and/or Makeup done while in the Asheville area they will ALWAYS be my first and only call!
Thank you ladies from the bottom of my heart for saving my wedding and making me accept and be ok with what actually happened on my wedding day! Love you so much!! -

Truly Amazing
Ali and her team are rockstars. From start to finish, they were exceptional professionals! They provided beautiful makeup and hair for myself and my bridesmaids. They were always focused on making the woman feel her best self, which I just so appreciated. Ali and Kerstin were calm, kind, professional, amazingly punctual and efficient. Ali is very responsive and communicates so well. I can not say enough wonderful things regarding this group, and I am so appreciative that they played a role in our wedding this past weekend! -

Erin Sent on 06/09/2021The best h&mu team ever!
Ali and the team at AnaRie DELIVERED. I fell in love with AnaRie's work from Instagram and knew that I had to book with their team. Not to mention, every single vendor I worked with told me that AnaRie was the BEST when it came to H&MU. Fast forward many months of me adoring their work from afar, and it was finally my wedding day. Ali, Andrea, Erika, and Bri arrived at our cabin rental on time and completely took over the living room area. It was so cool to see them set up and their professionalism throughout was topnotch.
We had a large group getting hair and makeup that morning on a tight timeline and the team went to work. They stayed on their timeline but it never felt rushed. Each of the bridesmaids and both moms even remarked how easy and laidback the whole experience was. Ali worked with my mom, who is a total tomboy and never, and I mean never wears makeup. My mom was really worried about getting her makeup done but Ali was so attentive and my mom felt so beautiful all night.
My bridal hair and makeup was gorgeous! All night I felt so confident and yet so me. And after looking at some of the photos taken that night, all I can say is WOW. I am so happy with how I looked and how my H&MU lasted even into the afterparty. I cannot recommend AnaRie enough - they are pros and you won't be disappointed!! -

When my husband and I decided to elope to Asheville, I spent so much time researching different hair and make-up artists since we are not from the area. Our elopement company recommended AnaRie and I am so glad they did! Samantha and Ali were absolutely amazing! Each of them took the time to make sure I was heard and to make sure I looked how I envisioned for my wedding day. They are very personable and made me feel like I’d known them for years! My hair and make-up remained in-tact all evening, even through hiking up a mountain and in 5 mph winds! I couldn’t have asked for 2 better ladies to help me get ready for my big day! -

Can’t say enough good things about Erika and Andrea! My hair and makeup were perfect and my bridal party also looked amazing. They are such nice people and very talented. I love that they give everyone a touch up kit to refresh makeup later. I also really appreciated that they were willing to work with me when I thought I’d be the only one getting hair and makeup. Ended up being 6 of us total and they were on time, ran ahead of schedule and made everyone look beautiful. Thank you!! -

Olivia Sent on 04/06/2021the BEST for bridal hair and makeup!
Ali and Andrea did my makeup and hair for my rehearsal dinner and wedding day and I have never felt more beautiful than I did on those two days. They also did my mother-in-law's and sister-in-law's hair and makeup for our wedding day and both looked as beautiful as ever. I only worked with Ali and Andrea, however, I'm sure the entire team is fantastic based on the photos I've seen and the level of service I experienced. I would hire them again in a second and highly recommend them for other brides and bridal parties.
I wasn't able to do a trial or meet Ali or Andrea in person prior to my wedding weekend, so I was a bit nervous going in even though I'd read great reviews and Ali had been super responsive and kind during the planning process. Fortunately, I had no reason to be nervous, as both ladies made me feel relaxed, comfortable, heard/understood and absolutely beautiful. I enjoyed their company so much and I think that is super important on your wedding day. You want the best energy around you (obviously) and these ladies deliver. They were both warm, attentive and incredibly talented. I cannot say enough good things about them, my hair and makeup, or my entire experience with AnaRie. I recommend them highly!!! -

I originally hired AnaRie to do my hair for my April 2021 wedding, along with hairstyles for my six bridesmaids. Unfortunately, my fiancé and I cancelled our wedding due to COVID restrictions, but I'm so glad I got to meet Samantha during my hair trial! She was so personable and took the time to do both an updo and half-up option so I could walk into my big day confident about my decision. Ali was also very responsive and helpful throughout the initial booking process and unfortunate cancellation. I'm incredibly sad to not be using AnaRie for my wedding anymore, but would absolutely recommend them! -

Thank you thank you thank you!!! Ali and Kerstin were such a calming presence the morning of. I was an emotional wreck and my nerves were all over the place and they both were just absolute pros and calmed me right down ❤️ I absolutely loved my hair and makeup - I felt like “me” and everyone else did too. Natural but also very beautifully enhanced! My makeup also stayed perfectly fresh all day long, even after ugly crying during my first look. ❤️ If you’re looking for extremely skilled professionals and genuinely down to earth people, this is it. Also, Ali is the most communicative vendor I worked with. Always quick to respond, always kind, and always positive and happy. Couldn’t have been happier choosing AnaRie 💕✨❤️ -

I can't say enough great things about Ali and her team. I had to move my large wedding to 2021 and my husband and I decided to elope this year on our original date. Ali was so helpful, understanding, and responsive. She made the changes so seamless, which I truly appreciate. Ali and Kerstin did an amazing job on my hair and makeup and it was such a fun morning getting ready with my mom and closest friends. I have never felt prettier. I can't wait to work with AnaRie again next year for the big celebration! -

Book AnaRie for hair and makeup!
Working with AnaRie was wonderful from start to finish. I booked hair and make-up for myself, 4 bridesmaids, and 2 moms. I ended up having to reschedule my wedding and all vendors from May to September due to the pandemic. Ali was extremely responsive to emails and flexible with the back and forth of finding a new date that worked for everyone. We even had to reduce the number of bridesmaids getting hair and make-up which they were also very accommodating of. Ali and Andrea arrived perfectly on time for my wedding hair and make-up, smoothly shifted the schedule around when one bridesmaid’s hair took a little longer than expected, and still finished with everyone’s hair and make-up early. Everyone’s hair and make-up looked absolutely AMAZING! Andrea perfectly recreated everyone’s hair inspiration photos, and Ali did everyone’s make-up unique to their own styles and comfort levels. I felt more beautiful than ever but also still like myself for my wedding. On top of this, they are just fun people who I enjoyed chatting with throughout the day. I can not recommend AnaRie enough- you will not regret working with them! -

Amanda Sent on 08/31/2020Wedding day perfection!
I booked with AnaRie as a recommendation from a client of mine. The online process was very simple, and Ali reached out immediately to book my makeup. I also had a last minute change with my hairstylist the week before the wedding and AnaRie was able to get me on the books with Kerstin. I did not opt for the trial run (I live out of town) so I made sure to have examples of hair and makeup sent ahead of time. Ali and Kerstin were both spot on based off of what look I was going for. Both came to my location, which made the morning of a lot less stressful. And both were extremely professional. Kerstin gave me the perfect boho braid, with curls cascading down. Ali even sent me her secret product list for perfect eyeliner, as she gave me the perfect winged liner for my special day! If you know me, you know how important the wing is. So I highly recommend these talented ladies for your beauty needs! They made my special day unforgettable! -

Amazing! Look No Further!
Look no further! Book Ali and co. and I know you'll be delighted. I was so satisfied with my experience. Ali made coordinating seamless and easy, and I loved the final product! I planned my elopement day look with her from across the country. Like others have said, Ali is impressive with how efficiently and professionally she runs her business. I gave her some general inspo pics, and she and Sam made it all come to life. It was super fun to experience! On top of all of this, Ali brought the best kind of calming, long-time-friend vibes which was an unexpected gift that I cherished. -

Shanna Sent on 08/22/2020Ali is amazing !
From the moment I reached out to Ali I knew she would be a perfect fit. I didn’t get to do a trial due to the fact that I lived 10 1/2 hours away and this was a micro wedding/elopement we’d planned within 2 months. So without even having a trial or meeting Ali or her team in person I was bound to be nervous. Ali and I emailed and spoke on the phone constantly about my big day and what I wanted from it. She made all accommodations that I asked for. And when it came down to my wedding day I could not have asked for a better hair and makeup team. I looked exactly how I wanted to on the most important day and Ali became more than just a wedding vendor to me. Thank you so much!!! -

AnaRie was amazing to work with on my big day. From the first communications, Ali was very quick to respond and she answered all of my questions. I just needed hair and make-up for myself (the bride) for our small elopement and loved that they were able to travel to where I was staying so I didn’t have to worry about that. Andrea did my hair and it turned out even better than I could have imagined! Ali did my make-up and I loved the look! They both really understood what I wanted even though I’m not really knowledgeable about these things. I felt gorgeous on my wedding day and highly recommend AnaRie! -

I can't say enough positive things about the AnaRie team! From the moment I contacted Ali, she was extremely responsive and helpful. I did a trial run with Ali and Andrea and they were so helpful in guiding me toward my wedding day hair/makeup vision. My wedding day was no different. It was so nice having them come to me so I could keep the day relaxed. My husband and I love chatting with them as they transformed me into a glowing bride. These ladies went above and beyond and are extremely talented. My makeup was flawless and lasted me through the night. I didn't want to take it off! My hair stayed perfectly in place even after being outside for a few hours. Look no further, you have found your hair and makeup dream team for your special day!! -

I can’t say enough good things about AnaRie! I was lucky enough to meet 4 members of their team and was so unbelievably impressed with all of them!
I had the pleasure of meeting Ali and Andrea for my hair and makeup trial, but when I had a wedding date change due to Covid, they worked with me and I was fortunate enough to meet Samantha and Erika. Everyone on the team is so professional, easy going, and unreal at what they do! I am very laid back and wasn’t quite sure how I wanted my hair or makeup but they read my mind and gave me the absolute perfect look for my special day! My maid of honor made the comment to Erika that she has never looked or felt so beautiful in her life. I made the comment to Samantha that my hair looked more perfect than I ever could have imagined. This team is unbelievable, I would highly recommend them to anyone! -

I had the pleasure of booking these ladies to do hair and make-up for my wedding day. They were prompt and very flexible. With everything going on with COVID, they kept me up to date and were understanding when I had to add and remove some people for hair and make-up.
Also, I was unsure of how to style my make-up and don't have much experience, Ali worked with me and gave me the perfect look. I had a couple friends who were weary about getting their make-up done but were happy campers on the day of the wedding!
Both Ali, and Kerstin were professional and kind. I would recommend them to anyone and everyone! I wish I had my wedding photos to post! -

Lindsey Sent on 05/20/2020Can't recommend enough!
I cannot say enough kind, generous things about Ali and her entire team. Planning an out of state wedding came with an extra layer of stress that they all seemed to just instantly make melt away. Originally I had a hard time finding a vendor in decent proximity to our venue, with a natural, effortless style to their work.
I made the trip from Highlands to Brevard for my trial at their studio. The space was intimate, and helped make the experience feel very focused and personal. Ali and Andrea let me tweak away until we had the look just right. I knew I'd found the perfect team!
The day of my wedding, Ali, Andrea, Tracie, and Kelsey all put me and my girls at ease. They listened to what each of them wanted, and worked incredibly efficiently to make it happen in our time frame (also made possible by them even showing up early). Even with a bridesmaid getting emotional over how her makeup turned out, Ali made sure she was truly happy. Having someone with thick skin to deal with so many different personalities and styles was truly invaluable. My mom was also extremely happy with her look!
Ali was extremely flexible, patient, and calm. She was even willing to help hold our pup (ringbearer) at certain times, helped fix my MOH's strap when it popped right before the ceremony, and even gave the option to hang around for touch ups. The list just goes on, I cannot sing their praises enough! If you're looking for beautiful hair and makeup, relaxed demeanor, a look that LASTS all night, and just an all around great wedding day experience - this is the team for you! -

Andrea and Ali were the dream team for my wedding! They came to my Airbnb and were easily able to work in a small space. It was an elopement and it was just me there. They were so much fun to talk to and even without a trial run, they completely nailed and understood my style. I felt SO beautiful on my wedding day and my hair and makeup could not have turned out any better. I HIGHLY recommend them to anyone and would hire them again in a heartbeat.

I became familiar with AnaRie’s work after they completed hair and makeup for my best friend when she got married several years ago. My partner and I decided on a small elopement/micro wedding in Asheville but I knew I wanted to go all out for hair and makeup and I got in contact with Ali the owner right away. She paired me with Andrea for hair and Natalie for makeup. On the day of my ceremony 02/29/2020 both girls arrived promptly and immediately I felt like I had known them forever. They were both so warm and welcoming and made me feel completely comfortable and at ease. The finished product of my wedding look was more than anything I could have ever envisioned. I have never felt more beautiful in all of my life! These girls create magic! I was honestly in tears seeing myself in the mirror. Andrea and Natalie are impossible to beat. The professionalism and talent these girls showcased can not be matched in my opinion. I wish I could get married all over again just to be able to experience that level of glamour once more! Thank you for the best day of my life AnaRie. -

Monique Sent on 03/25/2020AnaRie Made My Unique Wedding Look a Reality
Looking for a hair and makeup team who could cover the range of skin tones and hair types of my bridal party was more challenging than one might think. I had scoured the internet and I wasn't finding stylists' albums that were representative of my squad. Until my coordinator let me to AnaRie.
Ali is amazing! Plain and simple. She's thoughtful, thorough, and professional to work with (which is NOT always the case with wedding vendors I learned). And she's TALENTED and so is her team. Ali my dramatic, gloomy romance wedding look a reality without losing ME underneath the makeup. Kerstin was amazing flexible as I changed my hairstyle plans repeatedly, up until the very day of the wedding. I wanted simple, yet detailed; up and then down; whispy but still off my face(pretty much all over the place). But the outcome was beautiful. And she did the same for my girls. They showed her a photo of hairstyles they liked and she made it happen without any trials.
Overall, these ladies played a huge part in my day--and will forever in the memories and photos we cherish. I 100% recommend them for any special occasion you need to feel glamorous for, but especially for your big day. You'll be in great hands!

As a bride, on one of the biggest day of my life, I am so SO happy that I chose AnaRie to help complete my bridal look. AnaRie was so professional and very responsive to all of the questions a nervous bride throws their way! Working with Andrea was so much fun, she was so easy to talk to and I was actually bummed when it was all over because she felt like a friend as we bonded over a love of true crime and good vibes! As an out of state bride, I didn't do my trial run until 2 days before my wedding, Andrea really listened to what I wanted and took into account the many pictures I showed her. She truly has a gift for glam! The day of the wedding, Andrea and her lovely assistant were prompt and managed to get me and 6 bridesmaids ready and out the door looking like superstars, in record time! I can't say enough good things about AnaRie!! -

Kristen Sent on 03/22/2020Absolutely amazing team
From consistently quick responses to making getting our getting ready process seamless and stress free, working with the ladies of AnaRie for our wedding in December was a wonderful experience. I did a trial a few weeks beforehand in their personal studio in Brevard, and while I was very happy with the look that day, they took even the smallest adjustments and beautifully brought the wedding day look I envisioned to fruition. They also did my bridesmaids' hair and make up, and they were all very pleased with their services and how well they held up throughout the entire day including the reception. Ali and Andrea were a dream team, and I would absolutely choose them again! -

Andrea and Ali were so amazing. When I went for my trial run they made me feel so comfortable. I’m normally a shy person and they made me feel like I’ve known them for years. On my wedding day, they traveled to me and made me feel absolutely stunning. My hair and makeup were flawless. When I walked down the isle, my husband just kept saying how beautiful I was. I am so grateful to have Andrea and Ali help make me feel so confident. 100% would recommend these ladies to anyone getting married in the local area. -

Ana Rie was the most perfect addition to the vendors I chose for my Asheville wedding in July. Ali, Erika, and Andrea were just the BEST!!! They followed through on my vision and made my girls and I look and feel so beautiful. I had no hesitations about knowing they would follow through with excellent work. I wanted my girls and I to look like ourselves and they did just that. They were also just SO fun to hang out with (you want to like the people getting ready with you because you are with them a long time) and they truly embraced my girls and I with all of our quirks. They allowed us to play our mash-up playlist of Disney, Shania Twain, Beyoncé, and Pitbull and were so ready to sing along. I love my girls and I just wanted to take Ali, Andrea, and Erika with me for the rest of the day because they’re that great. I cannot reconvened then enough ❤️
P.S. they are MAJOR girl bosses aka everything I love and more!! -

Fantastic!
I’m so glad that I chose to work with AnaRie for my wedding day. We had Ali on makeup and Emily on hair and they both knocked it out of the park. I have never felt so beautiful in my life! Ali and I talked through what I was looking for and I showed her pictures, and she executed on my vision absolutely flawlessly. I am biracial and sometimes have trouble finding makeup artists that flatter my features and skin tone. I almost always request some adjustments once I see my makeup, but I didn’t want to change a SINGLE thing when I saw myself in the mirror after Ali did my makeup. Emily also did wonders with my hair. I will admit that I was a bit of a mess in articulating what I was looking for to her, partially because I was a little unsure myself. She interpreted the confusing direction I gave her and my hair turned out beautifully. It’s exactly what I was looking for without knowing how to ask for it. All of my bridesmaids and my mom were also extremely happy with hair and makeup. I have a few bridesmaids who are amazing at doing their own hair and makeup, so they are super picky and always want to change stuff. Even they were going on and on about how wonderful of a job Ali and Emily did! This was NOT an easy crowd to please, so that is really a testament to their skills and versatility. My makeup/ hair also looked great all night and photographed very well. I can’t thank Ali and Emily enough for giving me (and my bridesmaids and my mom) the gift of feeling so beautiful. I felt how you’re supposed to feel on your wedding day - beautiful - and I have AnaRie to thank for that! I can’t recommend them enough! -

I searched long and hard for the PERFECT hair and makeup team for my wedding day and am so happy that AnaRie was recommended to me by my photographer. It is obvious from their Instagram and the amount of weddings that they do that they are incredibly talented ladies! Lyndsey (hair) and Danielle (makeup) were a pleasure to work with! They both showed up to our AirBnb a little early and finished us up on time! I did not have a makeup or hair trial, but I was not worried based on seeing their previous work. I showed them some inspiration pictures and they exceeded my expectations! The best part was that everyone's hair and makeup stay intact all night long regardless of tears, cake getting smashed in my face, sweat and who knows what else! My hair stayed perfectly for the whole next day even until I finally took it down!! BOOK THESE LADIES NOW! You will not find anyone better! -

Beautiful Bride
Wow! You won’t be disappointed! We were referred to AnaRie by All of the local vendors we were using for my daughter’s wedding day at Pretty Place Chapel. Contacting AnaRie owner, Ali Lawless was easy. Ali was always prompt in her returning of my calls or emails. Coming from Atlanta we set a trial makeup and hair before the wedding. After sending Ali and Kerstin some pictures in advance of what we thought my daughter would like for her wedding day, the ladies began their magic. Kerstin’s attention to detail created a beautiful style just like the one my daughter had selected only better. Ali is a master in creating a stunning wedding day look, her ability to blend, highlight and contour gives a flawless finish. My daughters’ eyes were gorgeous with a smoky look and fabulous lashes. Wedding day the ladies arrived on time and immediately put our wedding day nerves at ease with their confidence and ability make you feel so special. The Maid of Honor was also pampered with an updo and I had hair and makeup. The best compliment Ali and Kerstin could receive was when my daughter said she’d never felt more BEAUTIFUL. At the end of the day we were exhausted, but still looked fabulous.Read Less

Highly recommend
These ladies are so incredibly talented. All of the girls wanted a more natural look, which Ali did beautifully. Andrea was able to perfect everyone’s hair, we had a mixture of girls with updos, hair down, and braids and she was able to do it all. Not only that, they we’re so organized and very easy to work with. These ladies are pros in every way. -

Dream team!
The team at AnaRie are truly wonderful in every way. Ali is super responsive and organized, which put me at ease with the hectic wedding planning. Andrea and Kerstin were magicians with hair! My bridal squad and I were thrilled with the results and our hair held up throughout the whole day of August heat, rain, and dancing! -

AnaRie was fantastic!
I can’t recommend AnaRie enough! I found them looking for natural makeup that wasn’t airbrushed and am so happy I went with them. Ali is super customer focused and wants you to have the best look for you. She was prompt in responding emails – she and her team are all fun, kind, and organized, exactly what you’d want for your hair and makeup team keeping everyone on schedule for the big day. Ali did my makeup and Andrea did my hair. Natalie assisted with makeup and Kelsey assisted with hair for others in my group getting ready day-of.
I’ve had my makeup done a number of times before and loved how it turned out – it’s always felt too heavy and/or I haven’t looked like myself. Ali did a great job applying makeup in a way I didn’t notice it once on my face the whole day, and I absolutely LOVED how my look turned out. Her ability to hone in on exactly the look I wanted was amazing - I asked her for a natural look which she delivered, but based on the makeup trial I asked her to glam it up a tiny bit. Based on just a small amount of feedback she gave me *exactly* the look I wanted on my wedding day. My husband said he was delighted when he saw me for the first time on our wedding day and I looked like myself.
I LOVE how Andrea styled my hair for the wedding! I came in with a few general ideas of what I was looking for and she did an amazing job quickly turning that into a perfect style. I’m still amazed at how my curls and braid stayed intact all night but still had plenty of movement all night and wasn’t hairsprayed in place.
Both my makeup and my hair stayed perfectly all night long, and that’s saying something for a hot summer day with lots of dancing! It’s also worth noting that the hair and makeup of everyone else in my group also looked flawless all day long and into the next morning. Everyone’s look tailored and perfect for them. I felt completely heard and taken care of throughout the process and can’t imagine anyone else doing hair and makeup for our wedding!

Molly Sent on 08/17/2019Me but Elevated
I think this speaks for itself: Hair stayed in place & makeup didn’t wear off. I did a trial with Sara for makeup and Lyndsay for hair. I was so nervous about wearing makeup. The most I do on my own is mascara, and my (now) husband did not want me to wear any. But I knew I needed something. Sara was able to keep me looking like myself only elevated. I didn’t feel like I was wearing a mask. She was so gentle that I didn’t even freak when she put on eye liner. I gave Lyndsay an idea of what I was thinking, but not much. We played with a couple options during the trial, and she was very patient with me. The day of, both of them had to drive up a muddy dirt road, in the rain to the cabin my family rented. They were champs! -

I'm so glad we found Anarie Brides! We're from Nebraska and eloped in North Carolina, and planned the whole thing remotely. It was just me and the hubby, very private, no family and no wedding party. Ali was so helpful and accommodating in the planning process. On the actual day, I couldn't believe how beautiful she and Andrea made me look! I've never looked this incredible! Not only that, but they were so friendly and personable that the time in the chair just flew by! I think the most unbelievable part of it all though was that Andrea helped us create and capture our first look. She helped me into my dress and photographed my now-husband seeing me for the first time! I couldn't be happier that these were the women to help us create these beautiful looks on our perfect day! -

Amanda Sent on 06/25/2019Lovely ladies! Put us at ease and made us feel beautiful
Ali, Andrea, and Erika were so great to work with for our wedding. They were easy to communicate with and very responsive. Ali was even responding to emails just a few days before having her baby, setting up trials and making sure all was going well.
For our wedding, these three ladies came to our hotel and took fabulous care of us. They were flexible when a couple of our bridesmaids wanted to add lashes day of and they looked fabulous.
I don't normally wear a lot of makeup but Ali set me at ease making sure that I looked natural and "like myself" while also highlighting some features so I could be "camera ready." Andrea had to cope with my indecisiveness on hair styling but did a fabulous job. I couldn't have been more happy with how things turned out.
Thank you so much to Ali, Andrea, and Erika at Anarie!! -

Alexandra Sent on 06/05/2019Natural and long lasting!
Ali and Andrea were amazing on our wedding day. I do not normally wear make up, so I was very anxious about looking strange on my wedding day. I even sent Ali photos of my make-up from other weddings I had been in as examples of what I didn’t want. Ali heard my concerns and was careful to get my opinion along the way. The final product was a natural look that lasted all night long. I have never felt so beautiful. She even managed to allow my freckles to show but still cover up that wedding-day pimple that arrived. AND my makeup lasted all night long (roughly 2pm to 11pm) truly awesome! Andrea, worked magic with my naturally curly hair that I wanted to keep curly for the wedding. She managed to keep my curls and keep them contained all night. I had a flower crown that she placed perfectly and stayed in through a night of dancing and jumping around. Can’t recommend this duo enough! -

Caitlin Sent on 05/15/2019Wonderful experience - make-up and hair lasted all night!
AnaRie was the best choice I could have made for my wedding. Ali Lawless did my make-up along with 3 of my friends and we all looked perfect - natural but enhanced. I was very concerned about make-up because I wear so little regularly and I wanted to make sure I looked like myself on my wedding day. After speaking with Ali on the phone, I was confident she knew what I wanted and she delivered! She was very professional but also very fun to talk to. She gave tips along the way and the make-up lasted all night without showing signs of happy tears, kisses and lots of hugs.
Andrea Boyer did hair and she, too, was incredible. I showed her a few photos and she made my hair even prettier than the photos. It was so me and stayed intact all night, even after my somewhat intense dancing! The three of us who had our hair done all got what we wanted and looked amazing. She was so great she even helped another friend who couldn’t figure out how to curl her own hair. Both Ali and Andrea went above and beyond! Hire AnaRie and you will be in good hands!!! -

Andrea Sent on 01/29/2019Simply Wonderful
I cannot thank Anarie enough for their communication, dedication, and professionalism. They were recommended to me by more than one of my other vendors, which says a lot about their reputation in the area. Communication was so quick with them, and they were patient as I adjusted what I was wanting for hair/makeup. They did my hair/makeup for our engagement pictures--which was so much fun! Ali and Andrea made me feel right at home with them, and I knew I had the right team! Then, they did my wedding hair/makeup as well as my bridesmaids and the mothers of the bride and groom. We had Ali, Andrea, and their two assistants. They arrived promptly, and quickly went to work. They were efficient, but also compassionate in their work. Everyone was very relaxed as we were getting ready, and they did exactly what I was hoping for. One bridesmaid had never had her makeup done, and I was so happy with how comfortable she felt with the Anarie crew. I wanted natural makeup and relaxed hair for my bridesmaids. Ali was at least 6 months pregnant, and I cannot believe she stood and did everyone's makeup that day! Also, she has some sort of magic in her makeup, because I cried soo many times (happy tears, of course), and it stayed the entire day!! So, thank you to such a wonderful team for helping me to feel like myself, but a little more enhanced, on our wedding day. -

I had the pleasure of working with Ali, Erika, Emily, and a few of their other stylists for my bridal portrait (hair/make-up), engagement pics (make-up), and wedding day (hair/make-up for entire bridal party of 7). Everyone was always beyond warm, friendly, and professional, and took into account personal style/desired look with what was realistic. I'm sure everybody says this, but for real, I've never felt more beautiful, and all of my bridesmaids were positively stunning. A huge thank you to all of you at Anarie - amazing communication, easy to work with, and such lovely results -

I had the pleasure of hiring Erika from AnaRie to do my wedding makeup. Erika did such a great job and was wonderful to work with! I had a destination wedding, so she was able to do my makeup trial a few days before the wedding so that we could perfect my look. I loved how creative and collaborative she was. I truly felt beautiful on that day and can't thank her enough 😊
I also worked with Ali, who was so kind and responsive in helping organize the appointments. -
