    high quality work, amazing & seamless experience

    Working with Carly was fantastic and I would recommend her to anyone in the DMV area. On time, flexible, honest, and everyone in my bridal party loved their hair. Carly is very creative and was able to help multiple bridesmaids pick a style that suited them best. Carly made me feel amazing on my wedding day. thank you!!

    Absolutely amazing

    Carly and her team are phenomenal! I’ve had the pleasure of having my hair done as both a bridesmaid and now a bride, and every time I have been absolutely speechless with her work. When I say she is a magician with the curling wand, that is the truth. She is also so friendly, flexible, and easy to talk to. You can tell she loves her craft and genuinely cares about each of her clients. She goes above and beyond to bring your vision to life. My hair held through all the dancing and wind of my fall wedding.

    Wedding Hair

    Carly was AMAZING! She nailed my vision for my wedding day and was the sweetest to work with. Not only did she bring my vision to life but she brought all of my bridesmaids and mothers hair visions to life. She was flexible with any changes and always responded in a timely manner when I needed her. I would highly recommend using Carly for any of your big events!

    Amazing Wedding Vendor

    Carly and her team did an amazing job with hair and makeup for my wedding morning. They were professional and timely in all communications leading up to the day, and were able to take any inspo pics and turn them into a reality. I am so thrilled I chose Pins N Brushes, and highly recommend this company for any future brides!

    Perfect Hair and Makeup!

    Cannot say enough positive things about Carly and her team! They were on time, professional, and so patient! I really appreciated how flexible they were. Unlike other wedding hair/makeup vendors, they didn't have a minimum and that was really helpful as we needed to figure out who wanted which services. I absolutely loved my wedding hair and makeup, it was just right and very natural!

    Amazing hair & mu services

    Carly is FANTASTIC. She works with a local make-up artist and it's so nice to be able to schedule both hair and make-up in one go. Carly made me feel and look beyond beautiful on my wedding day. My hair (and make-up) stayed put ALL NIGHT LONG. I received so many compliments and I 100% would recommend Carly to any future brides!

    A Perfect Day!

    I did 2 hair trials before the wedding because I was indecisive, but Carly was totally flexible and my hair turned out PERFECT day-of. On the morning of our wedding, the girls were ahead of schedule! Everyone loved their look, we couldn't have asked for a better team.

    Excellent experience!

    The Pins-N-Brushes team was so easy to work with. As soon as I got engaged I knew I wanted to use them for my engagement photos, bridal trial and wedding day. The staff was so friendly and excited to be there. All of my bridesmaids and moms looked fabulous. They were very prompt with our timeline and were able to get all of us ladies ready in a timely manner. I plan on recommending them to any of my friends or family who are planning to get married in the future.

    Incredible!

    I'm so glad I booked Pins-N-Brushes for my wedding! I had such a great experience with Carly. From my trial to the wedding day itself - she was truly a joy to work with. She even helped me order extensions, and was incredibly patient and responsive whenever I had any questions. Not only did I love my hair, but so did my six bridesmaids - she made us all feel absolutely beautiful. In addition to her talent, Carly is also easy to talk to and has a great presence. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for hair services!

    11/10 Highly Recommend

    I had a great experience with Carly and her team from scheduling hair and makeup trials to the actual day itself. She is down to earth and easy to talk to which made me feel instantly comfortable. The price for everything was extremely reasonable and she was able to accommodate an early arrival for my morning wedding. Her and Lauren completed 4 makeup looks and 3 hairstyles for the big day and I couldn’t have been more pleased with how everything turned out. They definitely made me feel calm and relaxed and made the whole process super easy. They both made me feel beautiful and I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for hair and makeup services for their wedding/bridal party!

    Hair and Makeup for Large Bridal Party

    Carly and Lauren and their teams did hair and makeup for myself, the MOB, MOG, and 10 bridesmaids. They were incredible! I was so impressed with Carly and Lauren when they did my trial. They were able to make minor tweaks on the day of when I asked for them and my look was exactly what I wanted. As a Type A person, I was so grateful that they were able to keep everyone on schedule- and actually ahead of schedule! They were flexible and able to switch between two locations- the hotel and then the reception venue- since we could not get into the reception venue until later in the morning. From the start, Carly was professional and communicative and completely put my mind at ease. Everyone was so pleased with their hair and makeup!

    Perfect Experience

    Like many brides during COVID, wedding plans did not go as planned. My partner and I opted for an intimate “micro-wedding” with close friends and family - pretty last minute.

    Carly & Lauren were amazingly flexible and willing to work me into their schedule - they even fit me in for a hair & make-up trial! They were both extremely kind and are SO good at what they do. My hair and make-up was better than I could have imagined. I received so many compliments on the day off (and even now as we look through photos). Everything stayed put the entire evening (despite the heat and humidity of DC in June).

    I would definitely go back to Carly & Lauren for future events if needed. They are SO amazingly talented, and I highly recommend Pins-N-Brushes.

    Patient with an indecisive bride

    I used Carly for my wedding and she did such an amazing job! I couldn't make up my mind as to what I wanted, but she was very patient with me and it turned out PERFECT! Also she did 5 bridesmaids and 2 moms- she listened to all their unique requests and made them all feel confident and beautiful.

    Excellent Experience with Carly and her Team!

    We were lucky enough to find Pins N Brushes through a personal recommendation from a friend. From our trials to the actual wedding day, Carly and her team were so fantastic to work with! I leaned on her for her professional recommendations with my bridal look, but she was very receptive to feedback and I walked away looking and feeling like an absolute princess.

    We chose to also do trials for me (bride) and my mom, which I would highly recommend! They are practicing very safe COVID procedures and we felt very comfortable in their studio and then having them in our home for our wedding day. I felt their services were very affordable and the value far exceeded the price. All guests who got hair and make up services done were thrilled. I would not hesitate to recommend Pins n Brushes to any bride to be!

    Hair & Makeup Artists

    I would highly recommend this company! I used Pins-N-Brushes for hair and makeup for myself (bride), bridesmaids and mothers. Starr, Lauren, Kylie and Jen did a great job and made us all feel so beautiful and confident. They were also so fun to be around and easy-going - I can't say enough good things!

    Amazing! Best out there!

    Carly is truly amazing at what she does!!! She makes you feel like a friend rather than just another client. She helped guide me in having the perfect wedding hair every step of the way. She didn't mind the changes I made and gave me advice in selecting my hair accessories. I could not have asked for a better stylist to do my hair for a very important day. My hair held up all night long with all the dancing I did. It was everything I envisioned and she made me feel so special through the whole process. If you need a hair stylist for any occasion I HIGHLY recommend Pins-N-Brushes!!!!

    11/10 recommend!

    Carly was one of the first vendors I KNEW I had to have! I’ve been following her Instagram for awhile prior to even being engaged. As soon as my ~now~ husband proposed, I contacted Carly days later! Lucky me, she was available and provided everything I ever wanted for me and all my girls. All of us couldn’t have been happier nor felt beautiful on such a special day. I’m happy my wedding day memories will ALWAYS include Carly!

    I had an incredible experience with Starr and Lauren for my hair and make up! They made me look and feel so beautiful, and I was surprised by how quickly they were able to get all of us done! They were extremely professional and helpful throughout the entire process! I would absolutely recommend the pins n brushes team to all of my friends!

    Simply Magical

    Starr and Lauren were great giving everyone a perfect look for everyone. Working with a variety of hair types and mine being very thin still made me feel the bell of the ball. Their laid back vibe definitely helped calm down nerves and made it a stress free experience.

    Just who you need for those moments before your big day!

    I met the Pins n Brushes crew through another wedding I was in last year. I was incredibly impressed by girl boss Carly who runs her team and services impeccably! Lauren and Starr did hair and make up for me, my mom, and sister and I was so touched by their poise, presence, and flexibility in those hours leading up to the big moment! Happy to have had people I could trust and laugh with. Oh yeah, they made me look damn good too :)

    If they have your date available, book now! Carly and Lauren came to my house to do hair and make up for my wedding in December. They were everything I hoped for and more!
    They arrived early and kept us on time all day. We finished early, allowing extra time for photos before we left. Everyone looked gorgeous, and I felt absolutely beautiful. One of my bridesmaids even commented that she felt more beautiful than she did on her own wedding day :)
    Thank you, Lauren & Carly!
