    Professional, fun, beautiful!

    I had a wonderful experience with Metro Elegance, my stylist Whitney, and founder Lauren. I did a lot of browsing when looking for hair and makeup artists for my wedding and Metro Elegance was by far the best deal and quality! A good friend of mine also had a great experience and great review of them, which definitely helped to seal the deal for me. From my very first email, Lauren was so helpful and friendly. As a Covid bride, I delayed making many big decisions, but Lauren reassured me and was always prompt in answering any of my questions. After having a just so-so experience using a different company, she and my stylist Whitney helped to reassure me that I would feel and look beautiful on my wedding day. And I did! Whitney was so professional the morning of my wedding and helped my mom, mother in law, and sister in law, and I all feel beautiful! She chatted with all of us and helped put me at ease as I became increasingly more anxious as we got closer to the time we needed to leave for the church. I probably should have scheduled for all of us to be done earlier than I did, but Whitney just rolled with it and made sure we were done with plenty of time. And she even helped my mom with getting my zipper up! I had so many nice comments about my hair and makeup throughout the whole day and after when pictures were shared. The Metro Elegance team is beyond wonderful and I will definitely be using them again for my covid wedding part 2!

    Beautiful Hair & Makeup Services

    Metro Elegance did a fantastic job with hair and makeup services for myself and my wedding party 11/13/21. My team was Lauren and Callie, and they were both so talented, efficient, and flexible. Booking and coordinating with Lauren was an easy process, and her contract terms and payment schedule were both very reasonable. I did the trial for my bridal hair and makeup (included in the price), and my mom wanted to tag along for a trial as well (not customarily included, but my mom paid a small fee so she could get a feel for her look on my wedding day too). Lauren has a beautiful studio in her home and it was great that she and Callie were both there that day, as they were the team that would be working with us on my wedding day too. We brought different photos for inspiration and both Lauren and Callie made recommendations based on what would work best for us given our features. What I really appreciated is that they were both flexible and willing to make changes to make sure we were completely satisfied. On wedding day itself, they traveled to my hotel suite and took care of everything in the room which was so convenient. Everyone looked beautiful and everyone was so grateful to feel that they could actually request what they wanted and have those requests come to life. From a COVID sense, everyone felt very safe, as Lauren and Callie were masked while working on everyone, frequently washed and sanitized their hands, and had used different brushes/ applicators and it was clear that they were clean. I would not hesitate to recommend Metro Elegance and would gladly rebook their services in the future.

    Thank goodness for Metro Elegance!!!

    Lauren, Callie, and the team at Metro Elegance are fantastic! My original hair and makeup artist suddenly went bankrupt without telling me and I quickly had to find someone to do my bridesmaids (6), me, and 3 others without breaking the bank! Lauren was so sweet and helpful, and was able to ease my nerves so quickly! The trial was so lovely and really solidified that I had made the right decision. The wedding day itself went great, and they did a fantastic job. I cried like a baby, and you wouldn't have been able to tell at all!

    Thanks again Metro Elegance! What at first was going to be a major roadblock, ended up even better than what I could have imagined! :)

    The Hair & Makeup Team for the Natural Look!

    As someone who does not wear makeup, and who wanted to look natural on my wedding day, I was very stressed about what to do for my hair and makeup. I am so glad I found Metro Elegance. Lauren and Whitney are both professionals who really listen to what you want, and are also just fun to hang out with on your big day - which is important given how long hair and makeup can take! When my April 2020 wedding got postponed they were very flexible with my rescheduling (including allowing me to scale back on the number of services when some of my bridesmaids couldn't come get ready in person), and I appreciated their cautiousness about COVID that August when doing the makeup. Everyone complimented my look. I ended up booking them again for my 2022 ceremony, I was so satisfied! And they were a blast to work with them as well. My bridesmaids liked them too.

    Amazing Experience from Start to Finish

    Lauren and her team were amazing from start to finish. Lauren was like a supportive girlfriend from day one. Callie did an excellent job on my trial and was receptive to feedback when I decided to change my look from "natural" to "glam." My wedding hair and makeup was absolutely perfect! And the second makeup artist did just as amazing on my girls! Could not have been happier!

    So responsive and flexible!

    Lauren was amazing! She did my makeup, as well as makeup for some of my bridesmaids and my mother in law. Initially I knew Lauren would be a good choice because she has competitive prices and she was super responsive, which is absolutely necessary when you are trying to plan your wedding. She was flexible when I was late for my trial run due to traffic, and was only concerned with making sure I got there safely. On the day of, she was on time, organized, and kept things moving so that we finished getting ready early! She listens to what you want and is happy to make any changes. I highly recommend!

    My bridesmaids and I loved Lauren!

    I hired Metro Elegance for hair and makeup for me and my 2 bridesmaids. We were all very happy with both her work and her personality. She made it very clear that we should tell her anything we didn't like. One of my bridesmaids had her hair done by a "mean girl" at the last wedding she was in and was so impressed with how easy going Lauren and Ashley were! I've had other hair stylists complain that my very straight, thick hair is hard to work with, but I never heard anything like that from Ashley. I like a natural makeup look and loved my look. Makeup and hair stayed well through the night, even through a few humid hours outside for pictures and ceremony. Highly recommended!

    Great Experience

    Whitney and Lauren did a fantastic job on the hair and make up for myself and all my bridesmaids. Lauren was very quick to respond to any and all questions leading up to the wedding day. During my trial, Whitney was really helpful and willing to try any and all styles I wanted since I wasn't sure what would look best. They both arrived on time on the wedding day and made sure everyone was ready on schedule with time to spare. They are both very sweet and pleasant to work with. They also made sure to do any touch ups needed at the end and make any adjustments needed so that everyone was comfortable and felt their best. I was thrilled with the way it turned out and my hair and make up lasted the whole night, as did all of my bridesmaids. Rates are also very affordable.

    Wonderful makeup artist at an affordable rate

    Callie was awesome to work with - easygoing and listened well to my ideas while also providing helpful feedback. She did my hair + makeup, my sister's makeup, my best friend's makeup, and my niece's hair. Everyone got the "natural look", and although I was against airbrushing, Callie showed me that my makeup could still look natural - and actually, even better - if you apply it. She was right! It didn't look caked on or fake - just perfect! Lauren was also very responsive on email and organized. I appreciate that, especially when it got hectic with the planning. Highly recommend using them!

    So Happy with Metro!

    I used Metro Elegance for my bridal hair and makeup, and had 6 of my bridal party also use them. Lauren and Callie arrived on time and were able to get us all done on time. Overall, we were all so happy with the hair and makeup and definitely recommend them. They were so sweet and funny and made sure we were all staying stress free the whole time. The only concern we had was the eye liner used. A few of us noticed black dots and lines under our eyes and on our cheeks before the wedding began and had to touch it up quickly. Regardless, we were very happy with how we looked.

    Whitney was great, there were 6 of us and she was able to get everyone ready ahead of schedule. My makeup and hair stayed all night, even through the after party. I felt beautiful and loved my makeup and hair.

    I had an amazing experience with Lauren and Whitney from Metro Elegance for my August, 2018 wedding. They were a pleasure to work with and it was clear that they take great pride in their work as they attended to every possible detail! Everything was organized and went according to plan from the hair/make-up trial to the actual wedding day. My bridal party was in love with their hair (done by Whitney) and make up (done by Lauren) and also told me how much they enjoyed talking with the team. As the bride, I received endless compliments on my hair and make-up, which was done by Whitney. I was particularly impressed with how long my hair and make-up stayed as it looked fresh and in tact all night long! Also, Lauren stayed for a bit after all of the hair and make-up was completed during our pre-ceremony photos to be on hand in case any hair and/or make-up touch-ups were needed. This was a huge comfort to me and I can't say enough how appreciative I am of Lauren and Whitney, overall! I highly recommend their services!

    LOVE LAUREN!!! This was our second wedding with Metro Elegance and we could not be happier! Lauren listened to my daughter and gave her the look she dreamed of. No pressure to do more than she wanted. Friendly & personable-she put everyone at ease with her positive attitude and the wedding party loved working with her! She showed up on time and stayed until everyone looked picture perfect! Highly recommend Metro Elegance!

    I couldn't be happier to have found Whitney and Lauren as my hair and makeup professionals for my April 14th wedding. They were absolute pros, and they made my girls and I look even better than I expected.

    During my trial with Whitney, she really took the time to look at pictures I brought, and helped me pick the right look for me. For example, I was considering having my long hair pushed to the side, but she noted that the embellishments on my dress would catch to my hair and pull out the curls. I never even considered that!

    Including me, they worked on 10 girls, both hair and makeup. The wedding was at 6, so they were working on us from 9 to 4. They worked straight through and never complained once. All of my girls have different hair and complexion, but that wasn't an issue for them at all. Everyone of them looked absolutely gorgeous.

    Not only was their work amazing (seriously, hair and makeup held up all night and we closed the bar) but they were really fun. I was a neurotic bride at times and they really chilled me out too. They were all around really fun ladies to hang out with (and that's important on a stressful day). They were reasonably priced and I would recommend them hands down over every friends wedding I've gotten my hair and makeup done for.

    We had Whitney and Alexis do our hair and makeup and they make a fantastic team! There were ten of us in total, but Whitney and Alexis were amazing and super efficient. With so many of us, I was amazed that they were able to keep us on schedule, especially since I have really thick hair and I knew it would take slightly longer for my hair to be put up. But Whitney wasn't fazed at all. Not only did she do a great job with everyone's hair and makeup, but she made sure everyone was happy with their hair and makeup before she and Alexis left. I would highly recommend Metro Elegance, because they did a great job and have really reasonable rates.

    Lauren + Brianna were wonderful, I couldn't have asked for a better team! Leading up to the big day Lauren was prompt in responding to emails, helpful in answering questions and made scheduling a breeze. On the big day they showed up early, very prepared and were a joy to have there. Making conversations, laughing and making the morning fun for all! Lauren was so helpful in guiding me the not-really-makeup-wearing person to the best look, and not overdone. Brianna was able to get my hair to curl, a feat within itself, and my hair was more than I could have dreamed of! Even after I forgot my hairpiece for the trial, she easily worked it in the day of with ease. Overall myself and my ladies felt so stunning and effortlessly beautiful the day of AND it all stayed through an entire night of dancing! I would recommend them to anyone in need of great hair + makeup artists!

    What a wonderful experience I had with this team. Whitney and Lauren took the time to listen to what I wanted and really got me the look I was going for! My hair and make up stayed in place all day even through all the crazy dancing through the evening! Thanks for being part of the best day of my life!

    Lauren and her team at Metro Elegance were amazing!!! They were tasked with two brides at two separate locations and eleven bridesmaids! Lauren, Whitney, Ashley, and Callie laughed and joked with us the entire morning, making the entire process seamless and stress free. The girls made us look absolutely amazing on our big day and we cannot thank them enough. Using Metro Elegance was the best decision we could have made!

    Lauren did my make up for a big event my company was throwing at a hotel in downtown DC. I went to the studio she has in her home (which was super convenient) a few hours before the event and she worked quickly and diligently to get me looking party ready in no time. She is an expert with the air brush technique and my skin looked radiant and flawless. My make up looked fresh and not overly done up. I received a lot of compliments that night from colleagues on how fantastic I looked and will gladly refer any of them to Metro Elegance!

    Lauren and her crew were some of the ladies to work with for my wedding on August 5th! They were all so fun and accommodating to me as well as all of my bridesmaids. Callie did hair and Whittney did makeup and I was amazed with the results. I thought I looked the best I possibly could on my wedding day, and all of my brides were beyond pleased as well. Metro Elegance was easy and fantastic to work with! I will be recommending them to all of my friends.

    In June I had the pleasure of using Metro Elegance for my wedding. I wanted simple and natural and Whitney delivered with my makeup and Callie with my hair! From my trial to the wedding day this team was prompt, professional and very supportive (brides can be a little nervous) Flawless is the only word that comes to mind. Since then everyone has told me that they have never seen a more beautiful bride! I owe that to Whitney, Callie and the team at Metro Elegance!

    I booked hair and makeup for mothers/sisters/grandmother of the grooms for my brother and his now husband's wedding. I reached out to several vendors and couldn't be more thrilled with my choice to go with Lauren and Metro Elegance. From the first email, Lauren made me feel at ease and promptly answered my million questions, no matter how small.
    The day of the wedding, we had Lauren and Whitney with us at the venue. They were both in constant contact with me via text, giving me updates on traffic and parking. They both worked seamlessly with our group, listening to everyone's thoughts on looks for the day and giving their expert opinions! Lauren and Whitney both worked together so efficiently and adapted to any schedule switch ups, as our group was constantly in and out of the hair and makeup room. Everyone was absolutely thrilled with their final hair and makeup looks for the day!
    I highly recommend working with both Lauren and Whitney, who felt more like friends by the end of the day. I hope I get the chance to work with them again!

    Lauren was extremely professional, helpful, attentive and calming during a day filled with lots of excitement and nerves; she goes above and beyond. She made my bridesmaids and I look absolutely stunning! I highly recommend Metro Elegance.

    I loved my hair and make-up for my wedding day! Callie did an amazing job at the trial and even better on my big day. It was just what I asked for. My girls all looked great, too, and were so happy with their finished products. Whitney did make up and Callie did hair! Whitney and Callie were a pleasure to work with and were very personable and accommodating. Lauren, the owner, was very responsive via email and flexible with getting things arranged for me. The only thing I was disappointed with was that I was told to finish 8 girls (hair and make-up) we would have to start at 6:30am, but Callie and Whitney were done by 11am. I had arranged for my photographer and videographer to come at 12noon to capture some of us getting ready but we were already finished by the time they arrived so I didn't get any pictures of the glam process. I guess it is better to be early than late!! I would recommend Callie and Whitney to any bridal party looking for flawless hair and airbrushed makeup!

    Metro Elegance and Whitney were great to work with! Very responsive to email. I waited until pretty close to my wedding date to figure out hair and makeup, and they were able to set up a trial, and provide makeup and hair for a less than three people for a Sunday wedding.

    I loved how my hair and makeup turned out. At the trial, I thought I wanted an updo to have my hair out of my face, but realized I was more comfortable with a half updo. Whitney helped me try different versions, lip colors and eye makeup to figure out what I was comfortable with. As someone who normally is pretty low key with makeup and hair styling, but wanted to look beautiful and put together (but still feel like themselves) on their wedding day, I would highly recommend Metro Elegance!
