    Highly highly recommend Natalya!

    Natalya is incredibly professional and wonderful to work with. She did my wedding day hair & makeup; six attendants hair; and my mom's hair & make-up the morning of my wedding. Natalya listens to your visions and accepts any requested modifications (I wanted a bold lip) with poise. I treated all of my bridesmaids to having their hair done and although it made for an early morning since my husband and I were doing a first look, all the gals absolutely loved their hair. Some of my friends with straight hair even kept their curls the whole night! My mom also looked fabulous with her hair and make-up done. I have thick hair and my biggest concern was that my hair would fall down. Natalya heard me and made sure it was prepared to stay put! Natalya's prices are incredibly fair (especially compared to some of the beauty farming companies), for the very incredibly high quality services you receive. I highly recommend working with her and know that all of my bridesmaids also agree!

    Fantastic bridal hair and makeup experience with Natalya Diamond!

    Natalya Diamond created my bridal hair and makeup look for my wedding day and I have nothing but wonderful things to say about Natalya! If you are looking for a bridal/bridesmaid hair and makeup artist, look no further and hire her NOW! From the moment we spoke on the phone, I knew I could trust Natalya with creating the perfect bridal hair and makeup look I was hoping for. She listened to my vision and offered suggestions on how to make my bridal vision come true (which I gladly accepted - her expertise is unparalleled and my bridal hair and makeup turned out fantastic.) Natalya has incredible attention to detail and is warm and friendly! I really enjoyed spending the morning of my wedding with her and she made me completely at ease throughout the process. She showed up early on the day of my wedding and was the calming presence that I needed that day. She also explained everything to me before she did anything and ensured I was happy with the results throughout the process. My hair and airbrush makeup stayed for the entire night (12+ hours!) and still looked flawless after many hours of photos, dinner and dancing. Natalya is a perfectionist and truly an artist - I was thrilled with both my hair and makeup and received endless compliments on my bridal hair and makeup thanks to Natalya! Natalya also has very fair prices for the quality of the work that she delivers.

    Great hair and make up for group

    I’m so glad I picked Natalya to do hair abs make up for my January 2022 wedding. From my trial to the day of she was a wonderful calming presence. I had a few high level ideas for for hair and makeup and she helped make recommendations on what would look best for me. She made adjustments to the day of look based on feedback from the trial and it was clear she really reflected on what would work, despite the months between the trial and day of. Natayla did hair and make up for four people. We had a tight timeline as we had to drive to the ceremony space and she kept us on track. Despite the pace at which she had to move, she didn’t rush with anyone. The make up she did was flattering for both me, my MOH, and both moms. I got so many compliments on my hair as well. It was very intricate, but stayed put the whole day (12 hours) and was very comfortable!

    Cannot recommend her enough!!

    While planning my wedding in DC, it was a challenge to find a hair stylist who’s style matched mine until I met Natalya! Natalya truly is an artist! She took time to get to know me and my vision during our hair trial at her lovely home studio. She never made me feel rushed and she had a beautiful vision. On the day of the wedding, she did my hair (even more perfect than the trial!) and the hair of 5 of my bridesmaids. She even finished ahead of schedule. It was such a pleasure to work with Natalya and I highly recommend her!

    As a planner, it's important to have great vendors providing services on the day of the wedding. Natalya was amazing. She doesn't just provide hair and makeup services. She takes time to learn about her clients before picking up the first brush. Natalya's most important task of the day included applying the bride's makeup and styling her hair. The bride was very pleased with the finished look. Natalya exceeded her expectations! Natalya, thank you so much for your punctuality, professionalism, skill! I can't wait to work with you again in the future!

    National Diamond is a True Gem

    I was so thrilled and grateful that Natalya was able to do my hair and that of my bridal party on my special day. She is an incredibly talented hairstylist and very dedicated to her clients and her craft. She went above and beyond. Natalya intently listened to and studied my style inspiration and over-delivered on the day of my wedding. She made such elegant and intricate hairstyles which elevated the wedding to a different level. She perfectly captured my request to channel the Audrey Hepburn style with an elegant, coiffed updo that flattered my features and elongated my neck. She was also an utter pleasure to work with and be around. I cannot convey my gratitude for her services and for her emotional kindness and support. She is a true gem.

    Very nice, polite, courteous, and punctual

    I am writing a review based on my October 19th, 2019 wedding. Prior to the wedding date, I had a trial run at Natalya's house. She sat down with me to figure out my style and comfort level first and it was a long consultation which I appreciated. I really enjoyed the trial run and I looked very nice. On the wedding day, she showed up early and was all business. Some felt that the makeup was a little rushed but everyone's hair was so beautiful. When it became my turn, she looked a bit tired and my makeup did not go like the trial run. I actually liked the trial run so much better than the actual wedding day makeup. However, my hair was on point. She did previously recommend that I do not go last two when it comes to her services so that I have some time to mingle with people before the wedding. I am thinking maybe I should not have gone last so that she could have spent more time with my makeup. My intention was to go last so that my makeup would stay fresh. But everybody complimented on my hair and everyone's hair looked so fantastic. I would say I recommend her for being courteous, nice, professional, and punctual. Price was affordable too.

    Talented, Beautiful Hair & Makeup Artist

    Natalya and her assistant, Lisa, were incredible! She made me very comfortable at my hair and makeup trial, explaining what products she was using and recommending products specific to my skincare needs. I’ve never seen foundation blend so naturally on my skin! On the day of the wedding, Natalya and Lisa actually beat us to our venue to get ready and got through myself, my mom, and my bridesmaids ahead of schedule. Our hair and makeup stayed put well and she is fairly reasonably priced. Although she didn’t do either my hair or makeup exactly like my trial, I still trusted her. I was worried that my makeup on the wedding day was a bit too dark, but she was right that it came out great in the pictures and just took some getting used to since it’s so different than your everyday makeup. She also loaned me a beautiful gold hairpiece that I got so many compliments on!

    Absolutely amazing!

    Natalya was an absolute joy to work with. From the very beginning, she was thoughtful, kind, patient and accommodating. She took the time to listen to all my thoughts and concerns - and when my wedding day arrived, she made both me and my bridal party look and feel absolutely gorgeous! If you're looking for a makeup and/or hair artist for your wedding, look no further - you've found her!!

    Mother of the Bride

    Natalya did the hair and make-up for the myself, the bride and multiple bridesmaids. We all looked beautiful and had a great experience! I would use her again in a heartbeat!

    Highly Recommend!!

    Natalya and her second makeup artist Lisa, both did amazing jobs. We had a total of 6 girls plus myself, do a mix of hair and makeup, and they were absolutely incredible. Everyone raved about how their hair and makeup turned out and all the girls looked beautiful. She is incredibly talented and professional. She was even extremely patient with my mom's makeup requests as she can be quite particular lol. I could not recommend her enough!!

    I would highly recommend Natalya, as she did an amazing job! My hair and makeup both looked amazing, and they were both different than what we had tried at my trial.

    10/10 Would Recommend!

    Natalya is lovely and made me look and feel beautiful for my pageant. I even ended up winning! I would definitely use her again and recommend her to anyone looking for a hairstylist or makeup artist. Her home is beautiful as well.

    The Best!!

    Natalye is great!! She is professional, pontual, sweet and a real artist. Me, my mom and my bridesmaid loved the hair and make up she made. We planned something for my hair and on the wedding day she saw how much I loved the real flowers that she put on my bridesmaid, so she improvised with pieces of flowers from the bridesmaid bouquet, without damaging the bouquet but also making my hair even more gorgeous than what we planned. Also the hair and make up stayed perfect and the entire evening and night!

    Beautiful Work!

    Natalya did an amazing job on my hair and make-up for my wedding!! Natalya pays close attention to detail and she makes sure that everything is perfect. I have very thick and long hair and she made sure that my up-do did not look too big and secured it incredibly well. I highly recommend her for any bride/bridal party!

    I highly recommend natalya!

    Natalya and Lisa did an amazing job on my bride tribe plus my mother and a wedding guest. That was 9 girls total and you could have imagine all the chaos that went in the bridal suite. Both Lisa and Natalya kept their cool, worked efficiently, were so sweet to us, and made us not only look beautiful but also feel beautiful. When I first met Natalya for my trial, I knew that she was the make-up artist and hairstylist for me because she made sure I loved the look that I wanted by paying attention to detail and symmetry. She was the Mom/Maid of Honor/Bridesmaid all in one sweet package. She even helped me with my dress (because it was a little loose in the boob area) and then placed on my headpiece and veil. It was magical! Her price is not outrageous but I gave her a generous tip because she deserves even more! I highly recommend her and I'll certainly call on her for future engagements because I know she'll do a great job!

    Absolute highest recommendation for hair and makeup!

    I can’t say enough good things about Natalya! She’s both incredibly talented and also a wonderful person. I did hair and makeup trial with her for my wedding and she also did my hair and makeup on the wedding day (which was earlier this month - July, 2019). My maid of honor and her little girls also had their hair/makeup done by Natalya and they all loved it and looked beautiful!

    When I first met Natalya, I really appreciated that she had prepared questions for me to get an idea of what I wanted and how much makeup I’m used to. She explained her process and then began her work. She’s so gentle when she works that I immediately felt relaxed. The result was beautiful and I got many compliments. Before the wedding, I decided to go with a different hair-style. I sent her photos and ideas and she was very responsive and accommodating the entire time. On the wedding day, she arrived on time and fully prepared. She was calm, so that helped keep me calm and the entire morning was so pleasant, I forgot I to be nervous about the events of the day. 😃

    My hair and makeup turned out better than I had imagined. Thanks to Natalya, I felt confident and beautiful on my wedding day. I can’t express how grateful I am to her for sharing her talent, for her patience, and for listening and delivering a stunning end result.

    If you choose Natalya for your big day, know you’ll be in good hands. I will be the first to admit I’m not the easiest to please, but when it comes to Natalya, she has more than earned my respect, sincere gratitude, and my honest and highest recommendation.

    A Pleasure to Work With

    I am so happy I booked Natalya to do my hair and makeup for my wedding day. She is very sweet and calm, so it was easy to spend time with her during the trial and on my wedding day. I requested a few minor changes after the trial, which she accommodated seamlessly on my wedding day. I could not have been happier with the way my hair and makeup turned out, and it lasted all night, even with the July heat and humidity! My mom and bridesmaids were similarly happy. She and her assistant arrived promptly and stuck to the schedule of the day, and she had great suggestions when we weren't sure exactly what we wanted. I would highly recommend her for your big day!

    Professional and Personable

    Natalya was very responsive and professional. She was quick to answer questions. When doing the trial, she took her time and explained everything she was doing and was able to match my style well. She did an excellent job for my wedding (hair and makeup). All of my bridesmaids and myself were very pleased. Some bridesmaids had their hair done at 9:30am and their hair lasted through the end of the wedding (which was about midnight). She was a pleasure to work with and I would highly recommend her - it was a great experience working with her.

    the best hair and makeup I could've asked for!

    I literally never do my hair or makeup and really was having a tough time finding a hair and makeup team that I felt wouldn't make me look really different/over the top on my wedding day. I found Natayla and did a trial run with her where she took the time to sit down prior and discuss my likes/dislikes, my daily makeup routine, etc. From that she put together the most effortless, gorgeous, and amazing hair/makeup look. I felt like the most beautiful bride in the world on my wedding day- the look photographed so well. I also got services for my bridesmaids and they were blown away by her hair/makeup services- I told her I wish I could hire her for every special occasion in my life!
    HIGHLY recommend her to all brides :)

    Natalya is the vendor you want for hair and make up! She is very professional and so easy to work with. She came to our hotel and was flexible with each of my bridesmaids requests. She did a beautiful job. She is very kind and has such a positive energy that is calming on your big day! I cannot thank her enough and would refer her to anyone!
