    Amazing hair stylist - and so warm!

    Izzy is amazing! They did my hair for my wedding, along with my three bridesmaids and my mom. I LOVED my hair, and my bridesmaids and mom (a very tough customer) also loved theirs. I was nervous about my hair because I’ve never really liked how hair stylists have done it before, and I wanted to make sure my hair stylists would know how to work with Asian hair. Izzy was so responsive to all my requests and provided expert guidance. They were conscientious and referenced back to the notes we had exchanged after the trial when they did my hair on the big day. They were also incredibly flexible when one of my bridesmaids decided at the last minute that she did want her hair done.

    Izzy was also such a fun and warm presence in the bridal suite. They made it so chill and fun! I'd absolutely recommend Izzy to anyone!

    A Pleasure to Work With!

    Izzy is the best! I absolutely loved working with him from start to finish! My trial was in the summer of 2020 with our wedding originally planned for March of 2021 but we had to push it back to March of 2022. I had changed my mind of how I wanted my hair to look and just from picking out different things I liked from pictures of different hairstyles, Izzy gave me exactly what I wanted (if not better)! On the day of the wedding Izzy and his assistant were so great to be around, making great conversation and keeping us all laughing. One of my bridesmaids kept saying she wished she had hired Izzy for her wedding!! I would recommend Izzy to everyone, such a pleasure to work with!

    Perfection!!

    Izzy was AMAZING to work with!!! The best decision made for my hair and the bridal party's hair. From our first hair trial together, we totally clicked and Izzy NAILED exactly what I wanted!! On the wedding day Izzy was able to seamlessly blend extensions into my hair. Everyone commented on amazing my hair looked. The whole bridal party raved about their hair! Izzy's assistant was also wonderful. Thank you so much!!!

    So talented and easy to work with!!

    Izzy and their assistant, Jackie, did an absolutely incredible job styling hair for me and my bridal party. My hair had gotten quite long during COVID, and I was hoping for an updo that struck a balance between polished glam but still soft and romantic. Izzy absolutely nailed the look I was going for. I felt truly beautiful all day long and my updo held up perfectly despite the summer heat and even after hours of dancing. All of my bridesmaids as well as my mother and mother in law were super pleased with their looks as well.

    I did a hair trial with Izzy a couple of months before the wedding; the trial look was already beautiful but Izzy incorporated some minor feedback that I had and the wedding day look ended up being even better.

    Izzy was super professional and easy to work with from start to finish. When COVID hit, we postponed our June 2020 wedding to June 2021, and I was so thrilled that Izzy was available for the new date. Izzy was super responsive to email and so accommodating in all things regarding logistics and scheduling. Izzy is also kind, funny and easy to chat with. I thought that their prices were more than fair for the DC/Northern Virginia area and especially considering the skill level. I would 1000% recommend Izzy to any brides out there!

    Amazing hair stylist!!

    With covid there naturally werelast minute changes and Isabel was so easy to work with! I have no expertise on hair so I just showed Isabel some ideas for my wedding hair and she went above and beyond amazing! I wanted hair that was vintage style for our 1920s themed wedding. Isabel is very thorough on everything and that's just what a bride needs. I cannot wait for her to work her magic on my hair again for my rescheduled reception!! I highly recommend Isabel to any bride who is in need of a hair stylist.
    Isabel also styled my sister and sister in law's hair and both turned out beautiful!!

    Amazing Hairstylist -- Highly Recommend

    Isabel and her assistant Jackie were amazing and created beautiful hair styles for all of my bridal party, mother, mother-in-law, and myself. She took her time to create a couple of styles at the hair trial and listened to my preferences, incorporating my requested changes (including last minute style switch decision from hair down to an up-do), and was able to incorporate my hairpiece beautifully. She went above and beyond even helping me install my veil at the last minute. Isabel and her assistant were professional and kind, and everyone who got their hair done had the best experience! I love the way my hair looked flawless that day and in all of the pictures, and everyone’s hair styles held up nicely. I wanted a clean and mature look, and the style was better than I could have imagined. I highly recommend her!

    So pleased - best hair stylist!

    Isabel was amazing to work with for my elopement! My hair turned out gorgeous and withheld some serious heat and humidity! The style was perfect - I had requested we make some small changes based on my trial and Isabel was able to make it just right. She also was SO helpful when I needed to find a makeup artist very last minute. Throughout the entire process she was very professional while also having a fun and calm demeanor— must haves for a wedding day! Definitely recommend working with Isabel!

    Awesome Wedding Day Hair!

    I used Isabel for my wedding on December 13th and she was awesome! Hair was the one thing I was super worried about and Isabel was so helpful, fixing my hair three separate times and offering to touch up and areas I wasn't sure I was in love with. She was a godsent and had such a calming energy. Everyone's hair looked AWESOME!

    So pleased with her work!

    Isabel was amazing to work with! I was slacking a bit in hiring someone to do hair for my wedding, and asked Isabel sooo last minute if she was available. Luckily and thankfully, she was available, and was so nice and pleasant even though I had given her such a late notice. She did a great job with all of our hair, and everyone's hair lasted the whole day! I had forgotten to let her know at the trial that the girls would be wearing flowering crowns, but she was able to incorporate it into their hair without hesitating. She provided images of different angles of my hair at the trial so I could look at them and decide whether I wanted anything changed or not, which I thought was great. She also worked well with my makeup artist. I'm so glad I booked her, and would highly recommend her for any event!

    Very Skilled, professional, and made me feel so calm on my big day!

    Deciding who I wanted to style my hair as well as my bridal party, was a very difficult decision but I am so happy with my decision! She is extremely talented, listened to what I wanted, gave recommendations, and was so easy to work with! There is a lot I don’t remember from my wedding day but I vividly remember sitting in the chair, as she was doing my hair, and I was feeling anxious about how close we were to the ceremony. She told me to take a deep breath, count to 3, and let it out - it worked and my anxiety started to go away. I am so thankful for her! You will be so happy when you decide to book her and her team!

    Isabel is the best!

    I hired Isabel to do my hair for my destination elopement in Washington, DC, fall of 2018. It was nerve wrecking because I knew that I wasn’t going to be able to do a test run before my wedding day since I lived in Oklahoma. This made it was really important to me to find someone that had great communication and was very familiar with doing updos. I also have *extremely* long hair (past my lower back) and I knew it would be tricky. Isabel was a godsend. Not only is she very competitively priced, but she knows what she’s doing when I comes to hair. She arrived early and quickly got to work curling my hair and going over what I wanted. She was easy to talk to and seemed to quickly grasp what I had in mind. She was able to create a fantastic updo for me on the first try and it was *gorgeous*- better than I even imagined. Not only was it pretty, but it stayed perfectly intact ALL day. It was super windy and we were outside for multiple hours taking photos without having any issues. I continued to wear it all day and late into the evening to dinner. I finally took it down around 2:00 in the morning and it looked no different.

    Long story short- Isabel will not disappoint you. She is delightful to work with and is extremely talented. I would book her again in a heartbeat.

    Lovely hair stylist!

    On my very first phone call with Isabel I knew right away that she was someone I wanted to work with on my wedding day. Isabel of Total Babe Hair is organized, kind, pleasant, and so talented. She took her time working with me at my initial hair trial to make sure the final look was the exact one I envisioned. More so, she has a calming presence that really helped with my wedding day jitters while we were getting ready in the bridal suite. Isabel even created a cohesive style for me, my mom, and my bridesmaids -- we were all so thrilled with our hairstyles and felt so fabulous on the big day! I was so glad to have Isabel as my hair stylist on my wedding day and I'm confident that anyone who books her would be, too!

    Best Hair Stylist!

    Not only is Isabel incredibly kind and easy to work with, she is amazingly talented! I had two trials before my wedding, and she was incredibly accommodating. On my wedding day, Isabel did myself, my 2 bridesmaids, 2 mothers and my grandmother. Everyone loved how their hair turned out, Isabel took all of their various styles and made them feel beautiful, confident and comfortable for the wedding day. I cannot say enough great things about Isabel, and enthusiastically recommend her!

    Just amazing.

    I am SO SO glad I booked Isabel for my wedding. She is a true professional and so incredibly talented. She did my hair, as well as 4 bridesmaids and 2 moms back-to-back, and absolutely killed it with every hairstyle. My favorite thing was everyone absolutely loved her. In fact, one of my bridesmaids remarked that she felt like Isabel was just another bridesmaid! She also gave great advice for styles that would hold up best given the environment, hair length and texture, etc. She's been around the block and knows what she's talking about. I couldn't have been happier with choosing Isabel.

    Isabel is amazing!

    Isabel was wonderful to work with! She was very organized, communicated effectively, and produced great work. I asked my mother and bridesmaids to pick whatever hairstyle appealed to them, and they each ended up picking a different hairstyle (all with hair of different textures and colors as well). Isabel listened to each person's wishes and created beautiful hairstyles. My hair is very fine and frizzes easily (and my reception was outdoors during August in the mid-Atlantic), and Isabel was able to create a beautiful hairstyle (working very well with extensions, which can be tricky) that held up all night long.

    Isabel is amazing at what she does and she is so professional, kind and sweet along the way. Isabel was very responsive and supportive throughout the whole process of me trying to figure out what I wanted for my hair, planning the getting ready timeline and the details in between. My wedding party was so impressed how quickly we all got ready and how great all of their hair looked. I highly recommend hiring her to be apart of your wedding day!

    Hands-down, the best!

    Absolutely wonderful! Isabel was an absolute joy to work with, and I couldn't have been more happy with my wedding day style. It held up great in the July heat and was exactly what I had envisioned. Communication was top-notch, and Isabel made sure to send me lots of pictures of the trial run, making sure every detail was perfect. My mom, sister, and niece (the flower girl!) all loved their styles, too! Thanks so much!!

    Isabel and her assistant Jackie were so amazing for my early brunch wedding. We had to do hair for 7 women and be done by 8:30 am, something that would scare many hair stylists away, but Isabel rose to the challenge and did marvelously. I first knew I was going to like working with Isabel based on her professionalism as we emailed before my trial appointment, and when I first met her, I was immediately put at ease by her personality- and the wonderful addition of her sweet dogs at her fantastic home studio. Isabel was incredibly talented in taking my inspiration photos and building a unique look off of that, and although I added a flowered head piece the morning of, she was able to incorporate in and recreate the look almost exactly for the actual wedding day. Before the wedding, Isabel was really great at communicating about the schedule, and we ran almost exactly on schedule the day of. It is not easy to work starting at 4 am and Isabel and her assistant Jackie did fantastic. I was really nervous the morning of and struggling with the 4 am wakeup, and it was a real comfort to have a professional who was so personable in the room with us as we prepped. All of our hairstyles were unique and looked fantastic. Most importantly, all of our hair stayed throughout the day even in 100-degree heat that would wilt any hairstyle. One of my bridesmaids even had another wedding that she went to in the evening after my wedding finished, and her hair stayed put throughout the second wedding until she left that at 11:30 pm. As she said, "your hair stylist is a magician!" I could not recommend Isabel highly enough. I was nervous about hair since I don't usually get my hair cut regularly and don't think a lot about hair care, but Isabel made the process so easy. I cannot recommend her enough!!!

    I had a great time working with Isabel! She was very responsive throughout the process and creative in making mine and all my bridesmaids' hair so beautiful. We all had so much fun getting ready on the day of my wedding. My hair stayed well through the night.
    So, I highly recommend working with her! Also, the trial visit is very helpful for determining what kind of hairstyle you are looking for. You'll also get to meet Isabel's two lovely puppies during the visit, which is a great joy.

    When I first contacted Isabel I was impressed by her responsiveness and professionalism, during the hair trial she made sure I was completely satisfied with the look I had chosen, prior to the day of the wedding she was in touch with me making sure everything was running smoothly and that she and the right address and time and of course she was wonderful on the day of the weeding she even gave me a fruit bar because I didn't eat much before the wedding (as many brides I guess :) ), my hair looked beautiful and it lasted all through the wedding. I can only said great things about her because she truly cares for her clients. You won't regret having Isabel by your side on your big day !! oh and I almost forgot she also did my sister and mom's hair they loved it too!

    I was so glad I found Isabel and Total Babe Hair. I was not going to get my hair done professionally, but changed my mind at the very last minute. She was still available and managed to squeeze me in for a hair trial. On the day of the wedding, she was on time and had everything ready to go. I hired her to do my hair and my mother's (and my mother absolutely loved it), but she finished early and offered to curl one of my bridesmaid's hair that was starting to fall. My hair stayed in position all day, which is quite a feat because my hair really does not generally behave. She was so nice and friendly, and made my last-minute panic decision one of my best.

    Isabel is fantastic! She's very professional and detail oriented. After my trial (which was great), I decided I wanted to make a few changes. Isabel was very patient and helped me figure out exactly what I wanted. She nailed my wedding hair, and also did a great job with my mom and sister. It was crazy windy on my wedding day, but our hair managed to stay in place and look amazing all night. I highly recommend Isabel!

    Meredith, thanks so much for your nice review :) I appreciate it! I hope you and Rich are well!

    Isabel Duarte of Total Babe Hair is a magical hair wizard who will make you look and feel like the absolute best version of yourself on your wedding day. Isabel and I first did a vintage-inspired updo at my trial and while it looked GORGEOUS (I got SO many compliments from strangers and friends), I decided I wanted to go with a vintage half-up, old Hollywood glam style instead. I typically would have been nervous to not do a trial of the hair-do, but I knew I was in the best hands with Isabel and they absolutely knocked it out of the park on our wedding day. It was EXACTLY what I wanted and stayed looking perfect all day and night - the style stayed so pretty that I didn't want to take it down when all was said and done at 2:30am! And it photographed beautifully, too. In addition to my 'do, Isabel was able to assist last minute with some light styling of my wife's super short hair. The expert styling totally elevated my gorgeous wife's look and made her feel polished and stunning. Not to mention, Isabel is just the best person and a joy to be around. If you want a gorgeous style from a wonderful person who will make you feel special and look like a dream, I cannot urge you more strongly to book with Total Babe Hair.
