Kara is officially one of my favorite people! I knew this was magic in the making from our initial makeup trial, but she really floored both myself and my bridal party with her incredible skills. I asked her to keep it light and preserve my face and she legitimately made magic. I couldn't be happier with the result, and wish I could just keep a Kara in my pocket at all times! She is insanely talented, very sweet and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a multi-fasceted makeup artist!

Ashleigh Cascio MUA 

5.0

  • Starts at $85
  • Serves Amherst, VA

When picking vendors for your wedding take into consideration that we are all unique and have our own individual styles. Especially your glam team! Some artists shine best when doing full glam, others excel at that naturally flawless look, and then there’s everything in between! Know what you want and pick an artist whose style matches your preference. My preferred style is soft glam with a lot of color on the face! Gimme all of the blush and bronzer. I like soft blurred lines and some smoke on the eyes. I hardly ever bake and when given the option, I will always opt for a “lit from within” glow.

Ashleigh was absolutely fantastic. She has such a cute and bubbly personality. When I first met her she was so warm and inviting. I don’t know how but she literally knew EXACTLY what I wanted. I look back at my pictures and I genuinely am shocked at how beautiful the makeup is. Everything I wanted her to focus on was absolutely perfect and she went above and beyond. Also- you know she’s dang good when people were complimenting my BRIDESMAIDS and mom’s makeup at the wedding. So many people asked who did it. As someone who has been a bridesmaid many times, I have never had anyone really compliment our makeup. I cannot reiterate this enough. BOOK HER!!!

Strange Artistry - Luxury Makeup & Hair by Kristin Mastrangelo

  • Team of 1
  • Serves Amherst, VA

Let’s chat! I love chatting…it’s totally my favorite! I’m Kristin Mastrangelo, (go head, try it out…it’s easier than it looks), a makeup & hair artist who specializes in wedding, special event, & television artistry, spending most of my time trying to think of PC ways to avoid putting on “real” pants. I’m a wife of 15 years & momster of 4. Obsessed with heavy metal, tea, all black everything, horror movies all the time, a creature of the night. I hate being late. Personally, I believe everyone should be at least a little weird...normal is a setting on a dryer...so embrace you, be different, and do what you want.

Awarded Best of Zola
If I could give more stars I would! Kristin was such a treat to work with. Not only does she do an AMAZING job with makeup, she is honestly such a sweet person. She made the day even more special and I was honored to have her a part of it. She was kind and sweet and open to ideas. Everyone in my family loved her. Makeup wise, she is awesome! My makeup stayed on all day! We got married in Luray Caverns and took photos by the willow trees, it was hot but the makeup stayed on and still looked amazing. If you need a makeup artist for your big day, Kristin is your girl! Thanks so much for being a part of my day!

I had an amazing experience with The Stylist Abroad! Ashley, the owner, was absolutely fantastic and was incredibly communicative for the entire process. She answered every single question right away, and gave so much insight! For the trial and on the day of my wedding, my girls and I worked with Kim (hair) and Jenna (makeup), and they were both amazing. So kind, so friendly, and clearly knowledgeable! I was deciding between two hairstyles, and Kim was happy to try both in my trial. I had a couple things I wanted to change with my makeup, and Jenna was more than happy to accommodate! I was incredibly pleased with both looks on my wedding day, and everyone looked incredible!! I was definitely very blessed with the weather on wedding day, so that also helps, but hair and makeup stayed in place fabulously! The cherry on top is that everyone was just so sweet and easy to talk to!! Made the start of the day so pleasant and relaxed, and it seems like all my girls had a great time, too! Would absolutely recommend!!

Ivey Bridal Co is a pro bridal hair specialist and is currently not providing makeup services, but is happy to provide a list of trusted makeup artists.

Caroline did a phenomenal job with my wedding hair and was everything I could have hoped for in a hairstylist! From the start, she was incredibly personable and made the morning so much fun for me and my bridesmaids. Despite having a big bridal party of nine, she was timely and efficient, making sure each of us felt beautiful without ever feeling rushed. When it came to my bridal hair, she brought my vision to life perfectly—it was everything I dreamed of and more! Not only is she insanely talented, but she’s also a total girl’s girl. She came prepared with a bag full of things we didn’t even know we’d need throughout the day, making her a lifesaver in so many ways. Her professionalism, fun personality, and attention to detail truly set her apart. I couldn’t have asked for a better person to be part of my wedding morning and would recommend her to anyone in a heartbeat!

Rose did my hair and our bridal party's hair and did an excellent job! We did a hair preview a few weeks prior and she remembered exactly what I wanted. She also remembered some of the issues we had with the style at the preview and modified it to make it work best for the day. She brought extra bobby pins and hairspray and showed up perfectly on time (in fact she was a little early!). She was great and I highly recommend her! Adorn Salon did a great job coordinating the hair service. The stylist I was originally paired with was unexpectedly unable to work, but they were honest and worked quickly to ensure that they found a replacement.

A luxury beauty experience for the modern woman! My beauty philosophy is simple, "When you look good you feel good. When you feel good you do better".I started Nina Renee beauty because I believe that we all deserve to have the celebrity-style beauty experience of our dreams. As a high-end makeup artist servicing some of Washington DC's most prestigious residents for over eight years, I always found it hard to find my "Glam team".

Awarded Best of Zola
I would recommend NRBeauty Co. to any bride to be. Nina is incredibly attentive and communicative in addition to being transparent about her pricing. Andrea and Andejla were my glam team, and I absolutely loved their work, as did the rest of my bridal party. The makeup and hair lasted for at least 12 hours (likely more). NRBeauty Co. was by far the most professional team I communicated with. I appreciated the portal Nina managed which included all communications, invoices, and glam guides. My bridal party also appreciated the Google form they submitted in advance of the day to share their inspo & desired looks! Nina also confirmed when the glam team was en route the day of the wedding, which was highly appreciated given how stressful the morning-of can be. To top it all off, they ran on time / ahead of schedule the day of the wedding!

Since then, she has learned immensely by taking makeup classes, and consistently practicing with family and friends. Now she is published and recognized in the bridal industry in publications such as MunaLuchi Bride!

Ne'Kea and the Art of Beauty team were impeccable. I needed someone who could do both makeup and hair, and my wedding party had a spectrum of races, skin tones and hair types. This was not a problem at all for Ne'Kea and her team. Contacting her was easy and her responsiveness was prompt and professional. She worked with me to schedule my trial, which could have been a challenge because I live in New York and the wedding was in Baltimore. We ended up doing the trial near me in New Jersey and it couldn't have been more convenient. We had some last minute schedule changes with my bridal party on the day of the wedding and the team handled it easily. And my makeup and hair were exactly what I had envisioned. Everything was perfection!

Meredith was incredible! I got married in Leicster NC and had Meredith come from SC to do mine and my bridesmaids hair and makeup. Her prices were very fair and definitely worth paying the extra for her to travel. She was so sweet and made me feel like an actual princess on my wedding day. What really sets her apart from others is that she focuses on the experience she provides and not just the results. On a day that is very chaotic Meredith was such a calming presence. She also made sure that everyone felt beautiful and was more than willing to change anything anyone didn't like. I cannot recommend her enough she is beyond talented and over all a very genuine and kind person!
