    Amazing time!!

    Fran is literally the sweetest! She was so sweet and made me feel so comfortable during my bridal trial (I knew after that, that she was going to be the one to do my wedding makeup). The day of my weeding, she did such an excellent job on my makeup and my bridesmaid! She was so sweet to everyone and so considerate! I would 100% recommend her to everyone!

    Miracle worker!⼨

    Decided last minute on hiring hair & mua for my big day. She quickly responded to my inquire. Asked all the last minute questions I had. Very professional and sweet throughout the process including the hair and makeup trial a week before my big day. It was raining cats and dogs the whole ceremony but my hair and makeup stay flawless! Highly recommend! 🤍

    Fran is the Best

    We are repeat clients of Fran and have no plan to discontinue when we’re in need of makeup or hair services for an event. Back in 2014, Fran did my high school senior prom makeup. Then a few years later she did my makeup for a photoshoot, in collaboration with a photographer in DC. She also did my moms makeup for her 50th birthday a few years ago. Just recently Fran did me and my moms hair AND makeup for my brothers wedding. She killed it of course 😁 I received so many compliments the wedding day. Fran is reliable, prompt, professional, personable, and flat out talented.
    Book her!! 💙

    Fran is absolutely the best at what she does! She did my makeup for my military ball and made me feel like the most beautiful lady there! I never wore makeup prior to meeting Fran and she took her time and gave me the look just for me! Highly recommended!!

    Flawless Work

    Francisca is the best!!! She is so sweet and creative. She flawlessly put two looks together for me (hair & make up) based off some inspiration pics I had. She works diligently and makes you feel comfortable at her studio. I will definitely be seeing her again.

    Wedding trial and wedding day hair and make up

    Fran was super helpful when we first connected. She was easy to communicate with/ super responsive. It was easy to set up dates for our trial.
    Once I got to her studio it was connected and she listened to what wanted and she definitely delivered(hair and makeup) I was in love . I immediately wanted to book her for the wedding day.

    On my actual wedding day she came to my house and did my hair and make. She also did my mother's make up and we were so happy with the results

    Wedding make up with Fran

    Fran was the ABSOLUTE best. We worked together for about a year, including a make up trial and various lash appointments to get me ready for the big day. Fran was punctual, SO FUN, and just super experienced overall. Our wedding make up was spot on and truly so perfect. Fran knows how to work with all different face tones, shapes, etc. She is the best and I wouldn't recommend any other artist for make up in the DMV. YOU WON'T REGRET GOING WITH FRAN!!!

    Fun, easy experience with gorgeous results!

    Fran was recommended to me by a friend when I was looking for someone do do my hair and makeup for an engagement photo shoot somewhat last-minute. Fran was really responsive and really flexible -- she came to my parents' house which made my experience a lot less stressful! My makeup looked really natural, and she did a great job with my hair (I received a ton of compliments!). Not only did my curled down-do hold up through a very windy evening of photographs, but I even was able to enjoy my curled hair for a few days! And it wasn't like it was crunchy with hairspray -- it was really soft with a natural look! It was a great experience and I'd recommend Fran to any other brides-to-be (or anyone else prepping for an event or photo shoot!). Thanks, Fran! :)

    Fantastic Makeup

    Fran did an amazing job on my makeup! She came to my house and was so flexible and sweet. She listened and understood my vision and my makeup looked flawless in my photos. I also loved that she sanitized her brushes. I highly recommend Fran!

    Fran was wonderful!! She did my hair and makeup for my wedding day, as well as two of my bridesmaids and my mother.

    I couldn’t have asked for a better experience! Fran was so professional and delivered a wonderful service. She captured exactly what I was asking for in my hair and makeup by just looking at a picture! I was getting compliments all day on my hair and it lasted for days looking great! Highly recommend!

    Fran was amazing!

    12 out of 10, bridal and bridesmaid hair and makeup! Fran did my trial and all of the ladies hair and makeup for the wedding day. She is phenomenal!! Very knowledgeable, talented, gentle and sweet! I was nervous about bridal appointments because I like to do my own hair and makeup but Fran did better than I could’ve imagined and made me comfortable right away. Love her & her team!!

    Look no further than Fran!

    Fran was absolutely amazing to work with! She is super talented and made me feel so beautiful on my wedding day. I received so many compliments from my guests. She not only did my wedding makeup but also the makeup for several bridesmaids, my mom, & MIL. She is also very charismatic and organized. I would recommend her to any future brides as she is AMAZING. I gave her ideas of how I wanted my makeup to look and she went above and beyond.

    Highly recommend!

    Fran is easily one of the most professional people I have had the pleasure of meeting! A friend of mine recommended me to her years ago, and I haven't gone anywhere else since. Fran is kind, extremely attentive to detail, and very professional. She takes her time with every client and never leave them unsatisfied. Her creative eye and technique is flawless- my makeup truly lasts all while looking fresh and radiant. There is absolutely no one I trust more than Fran for any of my needs. Even on such short notice, she is always accommodating; which is something I really appreciate. If you're looking for a makeup artist/lash tech, look no further! Thank you for all you do, Fran!

    Calming Presence & Excellent Service

    Fran and her team are the most calming and professional team. We had a wedding party of 14 women (including mothers and grandmothers) who all received makeup services. As an emotional bride who generally runs hot, I was particularly worried about tears (during vow reading) and sweat (during party dancing!). Fran's makeup felt light and kept the ENTIRE day/night.

    I felt like a queen

    Fran and her assistant did an amazing job! I cried when Fran showed me my final look. I'm not one to usually wear makeup or eyelashes, especially because I have sensitive skin, but she made me feel completely at ease. Everybody LOVED my lip color.

    Amazing! I’m so thankful I found her.

    Fran did an amazing job on the makeup for my wedding. I cannot recommend her enough. She made me feel like a princess on such a special day. She was flexible and responsive to my requests. Besides doing an amazing job, what mattered to me the most was that she was so kind and personable. I look forward to using her services for special occasions in the future.

    Dreams Do Come True!

    Franscisca was amazing! I had my makeup trial back in November 2019 and she stuck with me for over two years to March 2022, since my wedding was postponed twice. I never wear makeup, so wasn't sure of the look I wanted for the big day. I told her that I wanted it to look natural and just let her do her thing. All I could say was WOW! I couldn't believe how beautiful and stunning I was, it was amazing! She brought my dream bridal look (which I didn't even know what that was) to life! She was also respectful, kind, and a great communicator all throughout.

    Professional, understood my look perfectly - great experience!

    Fran and her assistant were both extremely professional and friendly. Fran is very easy to talk to and understood the look that I wanted for my wedding day perfectly. Couldn't be happier with how my makeup and my bridesmaids looked. Definitely would recommend Fran given how responsive / easy to work with she is, and that she is clearly a talented makeup artist.

    I have been using Francisca since 2016 and whenever I'm in DC I have her do my makeup. She is amazing at what she does, and she's a great person as well. She's always punctual and professional and does an amazing job on my face. She has so many products, choices etc. I always feel so beautiful when she's done. She's truly a pleasure to work with and I will continue to call upon her for my makeup needs whenever I'm in D.C.

    Wedding Makeup

    Fran did my older sister’s makeup for her wedding, along with mine and my moms. We all got so many compliments on how our makeup turned out. She’s so talented at what she does and not to mention how easy and fun it was to work with her. We would definitely recommend Fran if you’re in need of a makeup artist!
