    Excellent Service

    Jessica did an amazing job with my hair and makeup for my wedding day. She was able to accommodate my hair request changes after our trial. For the makeup, I wanted light makeup with purple eye makeup and she was able to execute that beautifully.

    Great experience!

    I’m so glad I found Jessica to do my wedding makeup. I cried more than I thought I would on the day of, but my makeup stayed flawless. Jessica is professional, responsive, and very talented. To top it off, her prices are unbeatable. I highly recommend her!

    Wonderful experience

    Jessica was lovely to work with. She was willing to come out to me even though it was just for 3 people (1 for hair and 2 for makeup). Her prices were more than reasonable. She was prompt and responsive. Her work was beautiful; I got so many compliments on my hair and both mothers got several compliments on makeup. I would highly recommend Jessica for any bridal party.

    Highly recommended!! Stress Away offers great service.

    Working with Jessica and her team for my friends wedding has been such a great experience. It was really easy to communicate with her to figure out the best possible schedule for the day. A couple of weeks before the wedding she asked for hair and make-up inspiration images for each of the bridesmaids, mother of the bride, and the bride. We emailed back and forth to really get the inspiration sorted out. This process was especially important for us because we were planning an out-of-state wedding and were not able to do a trial. On the day of the wedding Jessica and her hair stylist arrived on time and kept calm amidst all the wedding house chaos. All of us wanted really light, natural make-up looks as none of us wear make-up regularly. I can’t emphasize how Jessica really made sure to deliver exactly that. I really recommend Stress Away for the hair and make-up services, and to top it all, they also have great prices!!

    Wonderful hair and makeup

    Jessica was wonderful! Her prices are reasonable and she is very responsive to questions. I did my trail run with her and my hair was not exactly what I wanted, she promptly offered to have me come back in for a redo and this time it exceeded my expectations. She was on time on the wedding day and even finished up early. All the bridesmaids, mother of the bride, and mother of the groom were very happy with their hair and makeup.

    Jessica was my makeup artist and hair stylist for my wedding. She is a kind lady and a professional artist. She was on time to make my hair and my makeup. She was well prepared to do her job. She also was understanding seeing me stressed before my and my husband BIG DAY. In the high stress moments she behaved very nice, saying supportive words and assuring me how beautiful I looked. To all brides - you ladies can believe me, words of support even from person you just met are high needed when you are getting married! Jessica, thanks so much for being part of our wedding.
    Warmly,
    Natalia

    Fabulous Hair and Make Up Artist! Highly recommend!

    I am very thankful to have had Jessica from Stress Away as my hair and make up artist for my Memorial Day May 28, 2018 wedding! Her work is highly admirable for the price. I appreciate that she is very professional, personable, easy to work with, and creative! During our initial interactions, she was very responsive to messages over wedding wire and text. I had an original vision of woodsy, bohemian chic, long beach wavy hairdo with natural looking makeup. A great partner in the creative process, she took into consideration my dress, jewelry, and skin tone to tie together a hairdo and make up palette that made my vision come to life in ways I did not imagine! I highly recommend going to do the hair and make up trial with Jessica in Rockville, MD! I went with my mom to get both our hair and make up trials. Meeting in person, figuring out colors that work with your vision and skin tone, and creating bonds working together is important to the success of the big day. She was very patient with with our questions and helping my mom with finding a hair and make up look that worked to her liking. While she did not meet my bridesmaids until the day of, she made sure to ask for their hair and make up vision ahead of time!
    For the "day of," Jessica and her assistant traveled to my home where my bridesmaids, mom, and I would be getting ready. She arrived early in the morning and did the hair and makeup artistry for me, my two bridesmaids, and my mother. I cannot reiterate how Jessica and her team were simply amazing to work with! She was really thoughtful with incorporating my bridesmaids hair/makeup visions into the overall bohemian chic theme of the wedding. Stress Away's wedding rates are very competitive and affordable especially for those on a budget! Included in the package was that Jessica would provide a number of hours for touch up before the ceremony, which was great to have just before even thought we actually ended up not needing it. Overall, Jessica is amazing, and anyone working with her is in great hands!

    Jessica was great! She was super responsive during the set-up/scheduling process and provided helpful info about what would work well for the hairstyle I requested. The day-of she was right on time and able to set-up and get to work quickly. She did both my hair and make-up- both were gorgeous and just what I wanted. I am not someone who normally wears makeup so she was very conscious of that and made sure to check in with me throughout the appointment to make sure I was pleased with everything. I think she genuinely loves her work and she definitely strives to make her clients happy :) :) I would highly recommend her!!

    What a fantastic experience i had with Stress Away. They were so accommodating to work with. They did a beautiful job on hair and makeup for clients ranging in age from 12-75. We were in town for my nieces wedding and they even came to our hotel and were right on time for a 6:30 am start. I would highly recommend Stress Away for any Special Occasion.

    Excellent addition to your beauty team!

    I booked Stress Away to do hair and makeup for my bridesmaids. Jessica did makeup, while Barbara did hair. Both women were professional, arriving on time and sticking to their schedule (as best as anyone can on a wedding day!) to get all my girls ready in time.

    Jessica does have a lighter touch with makeup, so be sure you/your girls let her know if you want your look to be a bit more glam! Jessica put on the fake eyelashes (we provided the lashes) for those that wanted them, and Barbara added the hair extensions one of my gals brought for herself. In the end, all the girls looked lovely!

    They were responsive to all my questions throughout the planning process, and delivered quality results on the wedding day. Definitely recommend!

    Natural make up

    Jessica did a beautiful job with my makeup and hair! I am not a make up fan and she made me feel very comfortable. She’s a very calm presence and gets the job done. She arrived on time and finished at the appropriate time. She seems more equipped for one on one work or very small bridal groups. My group of 6 bridesmaids was probably too much, and only 2 people total came to assist, which was different than the planned 3. There seemed to be a last minute change in the personnel assisting her. I stressed that those with natural hair did not want to use straighteners and did not want to be encouraged to do so, but the individual who was helping Jessica this day still insisted on having a debate with my sister who has very tight curly hair, insisting that they had to use hot tools. Overall I would recommend.

    Jessica was very quick to respond and even agreed to show up a half hour earlier than planned on very short notice! She was able to get all three of my girls' hair done in less than 2 hours and stuck around for us to get any touch-ups after we finished with make up. Thanks for everything, Jessica!

    Excellent hair-stylist

    Stress away was wonderful. The stylist was very friendly and discussed with me on my expectations. My wedding make-up and hair looked amazing. The prices were also very reasonable. I would recommend Stress away!
