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!!

I reached out to Aida because I had a photoshoot coming up and wanted my makeup done. She was able to accommodate the day and location. She was running a little late but made sure to communicate that with me and was able to get me done by the time I needed. I love the look! I told her I wanted more of a bold look and she did exactly that! Can't wait to book her again for future shoots!!!

Awarded Best of Zola
Kelsea and Alena made me feel so beautiful on my wedding day. Kelsea chatted with me via Zoom to get an idea of what the day was going to be like and the look I was going for. I did a trial at Kelsea's studio in Virginia and I got to hang out with her adorable pup while she brought my vision to life and asked me lots of helpful questions. She then took feedback from the trial so that Alena, who was my artist on my wedding day, could execute a perfected version of the trial look. My hair isn't the easiest to work with because it's very straight and fine, but Alena got it to hold its waves all night without it feeling gross and weighed down by product. She also accentuated the purple highlights I got done shortly before the wedding to match my flowers flawlessly so that the purple showed through without being overpowering. She checked in every step of the way while doing my makeup and made sure I was good with the shades that she picked. I don't usually wear a lot of makeup so I was worried about not feeling like myself, but Kelsea and Alena achieved the perfect balance between looking glamorous, but still natural. I didn't have a bridal party, but Alena did my mom's hair and makeup as well and she looked beautiful. Cannot recommend Artistry by Kelsea enough!

I found Cloud & Rea here on Zola after initially deciding not to do professional hair and makeup and am so glad that I reached out to them. Claudia was very responsive throughout the process before the wedding and clearly communicated with me as far as pricing, scheduling, advice before the day of, and timelines for getting ready. I had a late morning wedding and needed to have services for 4 of us and she came through like a champ and was able to get us looking perfect for the rest of the day. 3 of us are in our 40’s and my stepmom is in her 60’s and Claudia was able to do 4 completely different looks on us, none of which looked caked on or heavy. I really appreciated that she was able to work with different skin types and facial features, making all of us feel beautiful. I did do two makeup trials due to being indecisive on what I wanted for my final look. I knew I didn’t want it too bridal with the focus on my eyes and by working through my vision with Claudia I ended up with an amazing final product the day of my wedding. The first trial also included a hair trial that I was happy with but due to a scheduling conflict we ended up having our hair done by Artistry by Kelsea.

Sarah Khan Artistry provides boutique on-location bridal hair and makeup services for you and your bridal attendants. The services provided are to naturally enhance my bride's features and to customize a look that will bring your bridal vision to life!

I booked Sarah to do my hair and makeup for my wedding a couple weeks ago, and she was AMAZING!! I had done a makeup and hair trial with someone else before Sarah and I hated my makeup so much and I was really worried I wouldn’t be able to find someone who would make me look amazing, but really subtle. I booked a trial with Sarah and the magic she worked was just incredible. I had airbrush makeup done which I loved as someone who really doesn’t like feeling makeup on my skin. I am sooooo picky about my hair and makeup and Sarah was so flexible and never got offended when I wanted to make tiny adjustments, or bring my own lipstick to use on the day of! She also was so attentive and helpful in the months leading up to my wedding as I tried to narrow down my vision. The masterpiece that Sarah created with my hair was stunning. I think just about every single guest (and everyone I’ve shown photos to) complimented my hair. She brought my dream look into a reality, and I have never felt so beautiful!! Also Sarah really went above and beyond in the getting-ready room with me lol, helping me put on my shoes and getting my train straightened out before my first-look. She also was such a good person to have by my side during that time - when we had a moment alone, she asked me if my mom or anyone stressed me out or anything so that she could get a heads-up on any hiccups we might face. It was so comforting to me that she was thinking about things like that! I really felt like she was in my corner that whole morning/early afternoon. I definitely spent more than I originally planned on hair & makeup, but honestly Sarah is worth everyyyyy penny. I didn’t have to touch up my hair or makeup the entire night, and it felt so good that I had 100% trust in Sarah after my trials. Also another note - we had a really small wedding, so we didn’t have bridesmaids or groomsmen - it was surprisingly hard to find makeup artists who were willing to travel for just the bride’s hair and makeup. I am super thankful that Sarah was willing to do so! Trust me, you will not regret booking with her!! I trust her with my life at this point!!

Bianca is incredibly talented and just the best! She did the makeup for my May 2024 Indian fusion wedding (both for my wedding day and my Sangeet), and I could not have felt more beautiful. Something that was incredibly important to me when deciding on a MUA was finding an artist that is well experienced with a variety of skin tones. Bianca absolutely killed it while doing a variety of different looks. Leading up to my wedding, I went to Bianca for a few facials. The actual experience of the facial was so relaxing, and my skin was so hydrated and glowing leading up to my wedding. After my wedding, I also asked Bianca if she could do a makeup class for me. She had made me feel truly so beautiful (but still like myself). The class made makeup approachable for someone who has very limited makeup experience. She was SO thorough afterwards in all the materials she sent me with instructions and products listed to be able to recreate the looks we went over. I cannot recommend Bianca enough for all of her services!!

As a musical theatre performer, I loved makeup – the cakey, heavy stage looks, not as much. Then, at my own wedding, I found myself in a similar predicament: heavily made up to the point of not looking entirely like myself. I dedicated myself to honing my passion for natural makeup artistry for beauty, bridal, film and TV, perfecting my craft and learning from industry experts. My work has been featured in respected platforms such as Washington Family Magazine, the Emmy Awards, and DCW50 (DC's CW Network). Now, I create timeless, skin-forward makeup looks that put my clients’ natural beauty center stage.

Awarded Best of Zola
WOW! Kiley absolutely blew me away with the look she was able to achieve for my wedding. As a no-makeup girlie, I was quite nervous to wear any on the big day and not feel like myself. Her consultation process is extensive because her attention to detail on every wish you want is spot-on. I told her I wanted a bit of pop of color possibly on my lips but overall just wanted to enhance my beauty with soft pink tones. I highly, highly recommend doing the trial session first because it helped us realize what colors looked good on me and how much makeup I actually wanted on. She is an expert at applying individual fake lashes which 1) helped me not bleed mascara down my face when I cried and 2) looked stunning without looking unnatural! After the trial, I emailed her some of my thoughts and she executed my vision perfectly on the actual day. She also made my mother and maid of honor look absolutely gorgeous; we all felt so confident and beautiful all day long! Most of all, she was just such a sweet presence the day-of and the whole planning process. I am so incredibly appreciative of Kiley's artistic gift and cannot recommend her enough!!!

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".

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!

Her makeup style is nothing short of stunning. I felt every bit a princess on my wedding day and my wedding party kept saying they get like they were “getting celebrity treatment”. Her makeup was natural but enhanced what I wanted so I felt glamorous but didn’t look cakey and her pre- makeup moisturizing routine is 10/10. I’ll use her services again.

Carla Pressley - Hair Stylist & Makeup Artist 

3.7

  • Serves Arlington, VA

I’m Carla Pressley and I do hair and makeup! I’m a mixed African American/Korean chick born the year of the DOG in July which makes me a fiercely loyal sentimental Cancer. I also talk to most dogs and have been the proud mother to two Jindo dogs. I laugh EXACTLY like my two brothers, TRY eating vegan most of the time, LOVE yoga, and tear up EVERY time dads see’s the bride for the first time.

When I was looking for a hair and makeup artist, I wanted someone who I felt confident could help me decide the look for my wedding and come up with options for my naturally curly hair. However, I knew the deciding factor would be whether I felt confident that the artist could make every member of my bridal party that was diverse (in terms of race, disability, and LGBTQ) bridal party look and feel beautiful. Carla's portfolio showed me that she really lives her values of inclusion and I booked her with full confidence after our phone consultation the day after my inquiry. She gave me different options for the schedule for either just her or her and a team. I ended up going with the option of her and her team to not start so early and have a more efficient schedule. I was right to place my trust in her and the team she works with! I did a trial a couple weeks before my wedding, which I cannot recommend highly enough. It was definitely one of the most fun experiences of the entire wedding planning process! Carla spent a few hours with me trying different looks based on my inspiration photos and the vibe of my dress. I left so excited and knowing I had options I liked based on how I was feeling and the weather. On my wedding day she and her team were fantastic and executed flawlessly and made everyone comfortable on what was a hectic morning. My mother hadn't worn makeup since her wedding almost 40 years ago. My sister and maid of honor is also autistic with intellectual disabilities and had never worn makeup but wanted to be included (and look like a princess!) Carla and her team (special shoutout to makeup artist Mong!) were so patient and understanding and put them both at ease, which I appreciated so much. My other bridesmaids had a wonderful experience with makeup artist Nas as well. In terms of myself, I can say without question I've never felt more beautiful and glamorous but still myself than I did on my wedding day. Carla came with us to the church and fixed my veil that blew off during my first look and touched up everyone before we walked down the aisle. The look stayed the whole day and my hair held through the dip in our first dance into the after party. Going with Carla for hair and makeup was easily one of the best decisions I made in wedding planning and I cannot recommend her highly enough!

Dani is the best Glam squad that anyone could ever hire for your wedding!! I live in Texas and my wedding was in Richmond, VA so unfortunately I was unable to do a hair trial. She listened to everything and continued to reassure me that everything would be perfect. Not only did she completely nail the bridal vision that I was going for, but she went above and beyond the entire day. She stayed after we were done with hair to make sure my hair stayed in place, and she captured so many wonderful photos and memories from first look, to photos with my bridesmaids that I was able to look at the day after the wedding and reminisce. The bridesmaids/ mother of the brides hair also looked amazing, and everyone was so happy with it. You can tell she is very passionate about her job and making brides happy.

My name is Emily and I've been a freelancing hair and makeup artist for 8 years. My love for all things artistry started with makeup when I was 16 years old after discovering YouTube tutorials, and the rest was history. Once I graduated high school, I went on to work for Estee Lauder for 2 years as a beauty advisor and attended their training classes. Soon after leaving Estee Lauder, I started cosmetology school and quickly figured out that makeup and styling hair was my passion.

I am absolutely thrilled to write this glowing review for Emily! From the moment we first connected, their professionalism and dedication to making me look and feel my best were evident. One of the standout aspects of working with Emily is her skill in both makeup and hair, especially the ability to work with Asian skin tones and features. They skillfully highlighted my and my bridesmaids' natural beauty, creating looks that was both stunning and authentic. They listened attentively to our preferences and expertly incorporated them into looks that were perfect for my wedding day. The level of service we received was beyond professional. Every detail was meticulously planned and executed, from the trial session to the final touch-ups on the big day. They were punctual, organized, and always prepared with everything needed to ensure a flawless execution. Their calm and reassuring presence made the entire process enjoyable and stress-free. Additionally, their pricing was incredibly fair, offering exceptional value for the high quality of service provided. It was clear from the start that Emily is focused on delivering outstanding results. This level of integrity and customer care is rare and deeply appreciated. The makeup and hair designs they created were nothing short of spectacular. My makeup stayed perfect throughout the day and night, and my hair held its style, with veil and hair pieces. Overall, I cannot recommend Emily highly enough. Their talent, professionalism, and genuine care for their clients make them an absolute gem in the DMV area. They made my wedding day truly magical, and I am forever grateful for their incredible work!

Kendra Bliss is a self-taught, bridal makeup artist from Lanham, MD. Her passion for makeup artistry began in college. In 2011, she realized there was a shortage of makeup artists for women of varying skin color and types.

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!

Kendra is the ultimate professional! As a Photographer, I rely on my Makeup Artist to do work that makes it easy for me to photograph and retouch. Whenever Kendra does makeup for my clients (as she is my preferred vendor), the makeup is flawless and I'm rarely doing any retouching. Aside from her makeup application, she's the ultimate professional. She's always on time, reliable, my clients always have a good experience and she's extremley creative!

I personally Love to create beautiful, effortless bridal makeup looks for someone’s special day! From very natural makeup to glam makeup depending on your style! After working my first wedding I became obsessed with the beauty industry. I wanted to keep growing and learned basic makeup looks to full glam and airbrush. Specializing in bridal glam I continued to work weddings and loved the environment and the idea of being able to enhance a bride’s look for the day! Being able to create the perfect look for you is the goal! Feeling comfortable and beautiful.

I hired Danna to do my wedding makeup. At the makeup trial, we went with one look and on the day of my wedding, I completely changed it up on Danna and she delivered despite the change! I wanted a more natural look, something that made me feel like an enhanced version of myself and Danna did an amazing job achieving that! She is a sweetheart, has a great personality and you can tell she really cares about her craft. Always professional, responsive and very skilled at what she does. I've already contacted her to do my baby shower makeup because I trust her work and know she will make me feel beautiful that day! Thank you, Danna!!! 3
