We had the pleasure of working with Maria and Natalie for our wedding weekend. They both did a fabulous job at makeup and hair and were more than capable of delivery beautiful looks and services for me (the bride) and all six of my bridesmaids, plus my mother-in-law! They were on time, thorough, and kind with everyone and were so communicative in making sure everyone felt 100% beautiful and satisfied. I would absolutely recommend them to any bride looking for ease in their beauty needs on their big day.

I was so happy with how hair and makeup came out for my bridesmaids and I! We had Carissa who was super friendly, professional, and talented. All of us have very different styles of hair and makeup likes and she was able to accommodate all of us and make us look great (and get us done timely).

I am so happy that I found and hired The I Do Glam Crew for my December 2024 wedding! Lori and her team were amazing throughout the entire process. I booked two separate trials with Lori to try out all kinds of different hair options, and she probably spent about 5 hours with me to make sure I was going with the hairstyle that would make me the happiest on the big day. She never made me feel rushed or annoying, even though I was being incredibly indecisive! Her shop is adorable and comfortable and the other people on her team were all fantastic - they showed up to my house the morning of the wedding on time, they breezed through everyone's hair and makeup in a timely fashion, and everyone looked gorgeous after all was said and done. As someone who really doesn't like to have a ton of makeup, I was super nervous about having our makeup professionally done, but I had nothing to worry about - it turned out amazing. One of my bridesmaids opted out of having her makeup done because she never likes how people do her makeup, but afterwards she told me that this was the one time she somewhat regretted not getting her makeup done because she loved how ours turned out so much. Anyway, I cannot recommend this team enough! They are wonderful to work with and I would absolutely hire them again.

If this was the only section of my website that you read, I would want you to know that makeup to us is a passion, not just a job. It gives me the ability to help women feel and believe in their truest beauty. Our goal is for you to forget all of the lies society has told you, and to help you see that you are enough and you are beautiful. There is only one of you in this world, so allow me to show you that you’re gorgeous just the way you are. See, I told you, this is more than makeup, people!

I feel so lucky to have worked with Veronica on my wedding day. From our first coffee chat, I knew that she was someone I wanted to work with because of her positive energy, sense of humour and professionalism (she knows her stuff!). At my trial, we were on the same page, and I knew the look we went with was going to be perfect for my wedding day. My wedding day was an extraordinarily hot and sunny day in May, and my makeup didn't budge for 12 hours. I felt like the most glamorous version of myself, thanks to Veronica and the rest of the dream wedding day team.

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.

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!

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!!

Hi Everyone! My name is Nicole and I have been in the beauty industry for over three years now! I love doing bridal and special event makeup to make you look and feel your best on your big day! I specialize in everything from natural glam to full glam!

Nicole was so great to work with! She was very sociable and friendly. At the trial, she definitely heard what I wanted and was able to accommodate when something was brought up that wanted to be changed. She made it very easy to work with her. On the day of, her and her assistant did a great job of keeping up with the flow of our day and was flexible with the location changes.

Greetings to all you glamorous brides!!! My name is Serena and I am the Owner of Tress Art. I’ve been a licensed cosmetologist for over 15 years. I have dedicated 11 of those years to styling over 300 brides for their Big Day. It’s an honor to share those final moments with brides on their special day. I live to see my hairstyles turn an aisle into a runway. When I’m not glamming my clients, I love to travel, eat good food, spend time with loved ones and work on perfecting my craft.

From the hotel room to our 3am iHop run, my hair lasted the entire day. Serena has magic for hands, and she truly worked her magic on my wedding day. I felt so safe in her chair because I knew that she was incredible. When she emailed me that my wedding date was still open, I booked as soon as I could. Her work truly speaks for itself. Along with myself, she did two of my bridesmaids hair- one with brides and one without extensions (both are shown in the pictures). I couldn’t recommend Serena more.

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!

Mimi is so awesome to work with! I'm very picky about my eye makeup but Mimi was so accomodating! It took about 3 trials to figure out what I wanted and it was super easy to schedule with her. Her price point for the trials is hard to beat. I also wanted a smooth look for my to-be husband for our pictures and she did such a great job! I still go to her for makeup for special occasions like birthdays and anniversaries. My experience was superb all around!

The quality of her work was flawless - my makeup looked natural and absolutely on point, and it lasted the entire day without a hitch. She had included two makeup trials prior to the wedding so I knew exactly what to expect, and she was more than happy to cater to requests from my bridesmaids as well. I chose to go with the airbrush makeup option, and it was so worth it - my makeup stayed perfect from start to finish. I can't recommend Beauty By Dannie enough for any bride looking for a talented, professional, and accommodating beauty team for their special day.
