Thank you thank you thank you!!! Ali and Kerstin were such a calming presence the morning of. I was an emotional wreck and my nerves were all over the place and they both were just absolute pros and calmed me right down ❤️ I absolutely loved my...
hair and makeup - I felt like “me” and everyone else did too. Natural but also very beautifully enhanced! My makeup also stayed perfectly fresh all day long, even after ugly crying during my first look. ❤️ If you’re looking for extremely skilled professionals and genuinely down to earth people, this is it. Also, Ali is the most communicative vendor I worked with. Always quick to respond, always kind, and always positive and happy. Couldn’t have been happier choosing AnaRie 💕✨❤️
Ali & Lyndsay were incredible! From the trial to the day of, every experience just blew my expectations out of the water! They were so easy to talk to and made my dreams come true. They knew exactly what to do when I described what I wanted. I ...
felt like a princess on my wedding day and my makeup & hair lasted for hours, even during a tropical storm. I would recommend them to anyone!
Anarie did an amazing job with hair and makeup for my wedding in November at the Farm. After a few changes due to Covid, and a lot of anxiety due to Covid, I was so happy to see their cleaning protocols and how careful they were being. Andrea...
and Erika did an amazing job with bridal hair and makeup and the whole team was just the sweetest group. A few of the girls in my group (including myself) do not wear a lot of makeup and I thought they did a great job of doing beautiful makeup without it being too much.
Just stop what you're doing and book AnaRie. Their team is absolutely amazing and so talented. Ali was so responsive via email and easy to work with, they came right to my cabin so I didn't have to worry about traveling around on my wedding day...
and they were early which is so important on such a busy day. Andrea styled my hair and it was incredible. I just showed her what I wanted and she went to work. Ali did my make-up and it was flawless. I've had professional make-up maybe half a dozen times and this was absolutely the best. I would hire this team again in a heartbeat.
I don’t have enough words to describe how amazing the team I had from AnaRie were. I had Erica & Samantha and they were absolutely amazing. They did my hair & makeup exactly like my inspiration pictures and made me feel so beautiful. They were ...
also just super fun to hang out and get ready with. It ended up pouring rain throughout our whole ceremony & picture taking process. My hair and makeup looked just as good as when we started. I would recommend AnaRie to anyone and everyone 💕
After COVID derailed multiple wedding plans, we decided to have a last minute minimony in the mountains of NC with our immediate family. From the first communication with Ali, she was EXTREMELY responsive and helpful, even with a slight time ch...
ange a couple of days prior. We were lucky enough to have Andrea and Erika on the day of. They were friendly, professional, and very talented for the hair and makeup services of 5 women. I wasn't able to have a bridal trial, but I felt confident in the talent of the Ana Rie artists to make me feel beautiful and confident on my wedding day. Everyone was so happy with their looks and it all looked SO great in the photos and video. I would highly recommend booking Ana Rie for your wedding or event.
What an amazing team! From the very beginning, Ali was so responsive and helpful in every single way! Samantha worked on my hair, and she was just so AMAZING! She helped me figure out what would work best and she made my vision come to life in ...
my own hair! She did such a beautiful job on my sister-in-law and mother-in-law as well! Erika is AMAZING as well! I LOVED LOVED LOVED my make up! She did such a wonderful job on my mother-in-law, sister-in-law, my mother and I! Everyone looked so gorgeous and they made me feel absolutely stunning! I was just left in "awe" of their work! Such a talented team. They are amazing! Extremely happy I went with them!
Ali was fantastic! She was always so friendly and responsive. The day of the wedding, she was fantastic and made everyone feel super comfortable. I felt beautiful on my wedding day and she executed exactly what I wanted, flawlessly!
Allie, Amber, and Kerstin did an amazing job for my wedding. During these crazy COVID times they were able to arrange everything via email. They kept things super calm and smooth on the wedding day too. Everyone's hair and makeup looked amazing...
. Cannot recommend them enough! They knew exactly how to take my vision and pictures and make them reality!! We had a few adjustments to make after the trial but they knew EXACTLY what I was talking about.
Working with AnaRie was such a great experience. Andrea and Erika did my hair and makeup and they were so wonderful. Even from the start with the trial to the day of. They gave great advice and helped give me the perfect style I wanted. Ali wa...
s also amazing with communication. They were flexible, punctual, and just so fun to work with. Everyone felt and looked beautiful in a natural way. They made my wedding day easy, stress free and perfect which is all I could have asked for. I would highly recommend using them!
Working with AnaRie was wonderful from start to finish. I booked hair and make-up for myself, 4 bridesmaids, and 2 moms. I ended up having to reschedule my wedding and all vendors from May to September due to the pandemic. Ali was extremely res...
ponsive to emails and flexible with the back and forth of finding a new date that worked for everyone. We even had to reduce the number of bridesmaids getting hair and make-up which they were also very accommodating of.
Ali and Andrea arrived perfectly on time for my wedding hair and make-up, smoothly shifted the schedule around when one bridesmaid’s hair took a little longer than expected, and still finished with everyone’s hair and make-up early. Everyone’s hair and make-up looked absolutely AMAZING! Andrea perfectly recreated everyone’s hair inspiration photos, and Ali did everyone’s make-up unique to their own styles and comfort levels. I felt more beautiful than ever but also still like myself for my wedding. On top of this, they are just fun people who I enjoyed chatting with throughout the day. I can not recommend AnaRie enough- you will not regret working with them!
I cannot put into words how much I LOVED working with AnaRie. I probably emailed Ali around 40 times and each time she was prompt with a reply and a positive attitude. When COVID flipped my wedding upside down and all of my services and date ch...
anged, she was completely amazing even with the constant worries bride emails. Now Erika and Andrea are magicians. I’m not sure what they did to turn me into a princess, but I wish they could live with me so I could look like that all of the time. My makeup looked PERFECT even through many tears and lots of sweat. And my hair, oh my goodness! I danced the night away but my hair didn’t move an inch! Book them! You won’t be disappointed. Thank you Ali, Erika and Andrea!!!!
I absolutely loved working with AnaRie! Andrea and Erika did a stunning job with my hair and makeup. I felt like a goddess the whole night. I wasn’t able to do a trial, but Andrea and Erika took my ideas about how I wanted to look and totally n...
ailed the execution to be even better than I could have imagined. I have thick hair and a lot of it, and Andrea made sure that my updo felt secure the whole evening without any discomfort from all of the bobby pins. She also did a beautiful job on my mom and sister’s hair. My makeup was flawless too. I didn’t want the typical nude lip, so Erika and I were able to customize the perfect shade of berry pink which really complimented the rest of the look. The whole booking process (and switching to a new date because of the pandemic) was so easy. Ali is so responsive and answered all of my questions. These ladies really know what they’re doing and are also such lovely humans. You will love working with them.
I booked with AnaRie as a recommendation from a client of mine. The online process was very simple, and Ali reached out immediately to book my makeup. I also had a last minute change with my hairstylist the week before the wedding and AnaRie wa...
s able to get me on the books with Kerstin. I did not opt for the trial run (I live out of town) so I made sure to have examples of hair and makeup sent ahead of time. Ali and Kerstin were both spot on based off of what look I was going for. Both came to my location, which made the morning of a lot less stressful. And both were extremely professional. Kerstin gave me the perfect boho braid, with curls cascading down. Ali even sent me her secret product list for perfect eyeliner, as she gave me the perfect winged liner for my special day! If you know me, you know how important the wing is. So I highly recommend these talented ladies for your beauty needs! They made my special day unforgettable!
I cannot recommend Ali and her team enough! From start to finish, my experience with AnaRie was excellent. Ali was super quick to respond to my initial inquiry and all the questions that I had. Booking was very simple and straightforward. L...
ater down the road, our wedding plans changed pretty significantly due to COVID, and Ali was very accommodating and really helpful in figuring out a way to still make things work. She was also very thorough in explaining all the cleaning and safety procedures that they take, which made me feel much more at ease about having my makeup done in the middle of a pandemic. I had originally scheduled a "trial run" for my wedding hair and makeup and ended up having to cancel this, so I was a little bit nervous about trying to explain the look I was going for when Ali and Andrea arrived on my actual wedding day. Within minutes, they made me feel super comfortable. They both immediately saw my vision and executed flawlessly. Not only that - they were just great people and fun to be around! They made my wedding day feel fun and special. When they were finished, my hair and make up looked PERFECT, and stayed perfect all day (despite being the middle of summer!). The best part is - I still looked like ME for my wedding photos. Ali and her team did such an amazing job from start to finish - I highly recommend AnaRie to anyone looking for a great hair/makeup service!
From the moment I reached out to Ali I knew she would be a perfect fit. I didn’t get to do a trial due to the fact that I lived 10 1/2 hours away and this was a micro wedding/elopement we’d planned within 2 months. So without even having a tria...
l or meeting Ali or her team in person I was bound to be nervous. Ali and I emailed and spoke on the phone constantly about my big day and what I wanted from it. She made all accommodations that I asked for. And when it came down to my wedding day I could not have asked for a better hair and makeup team. I looked exactly how I wanted to on the most important day and Ali became more than just a wedding vendor to me. Thank you so much!!!
Ali and Andrea were the perfect team to help me on my big day. The came to me which was important and made me feel special and comfortable and did exactly what I had asked for and envisioned for myself. They were timely and a joy to be around ...
while they were doing my hair and makeup. Highly highly recommend!
AnaRie was amazing to work with on my big day. From the first communications, Ali was very quick to respond and she answered all of my questions. I just needed hair and make-up for myself (the bride) for our small elopement and loved that they ...
were able to travel to where I was staying so I didn’t have to worry about that. Andrea did my hair and it turned out even better than I could have imagined! Ali did my make-up and I loved the look! They both really understood what I wanted even though I’m not really knowledgeable about these things. I felt gorgeous on my wedding day and highly recommend AnaRie!
On August 1st, my fiance and I escaped to elope in Asheville. That morning, I woke up to a text at 8 AM saying that my makeup artist had a last second emergency and couldn't make it. We spent the next half hour calling every makeup artist we ...
could find online. To say I was stressed out was an understatement; everyone was fully booked because it was so last-second.
Then, I called Ali, from AnaRie! (THAT SAME MORNING!) and she did everything she could to fit me into her schedule. Ali was very professional & personable AND she came right to our AirBNB! She is an extremely knowledgeable makeup artist who helped me look beautiful on my wedding day.
Thank you again, Ali! You turned our day around so very quickly and helped make it my favorite day so far. :)
Professional, punctual, and a delight to work with too. AnaRie does amazing hair and makeup. So happy we chose her!
I can't say enough positive things about the AnaRie team! From the moment I contacted Ali, she was extremely responsive and helpful. I did a trial run with Ali and Andrea and they were so helpful in guiding me toward my wedding day hair/makeup ...
vision. My wedding day was no different. It was so nice having them come to me so I could keep the day relaxed. My husband and I love chatting with them as they transformed me into a glowing bride. These ladies went above and beyond and are extremely talented. My makeup was flawless and lasted me through the night. I didn't want to take it off! My hair stayed perfectly in place even after being outside for a few hours. Look no further, you have found your hair and makeup dream team for your special day!!
AnaRie was such a great choice for me!! They came up with a great schedule and were flexible when I had to make some last minute changes. Kerstin did a great romantic updo that lasted through a whole night of dancing and Ali did a FLAWLESS job ...
with my makeup!! They both made sure I was comfortable the whole time and I couldn't have been happier with how my look turned out!
I can’t say enough good things about AnaRie! I was lucky enough to meet 4 members of their team and was so unbelievably impressed with all of them!
I had the pleasure of meeting Ali and Andrea for my hair and makeup trial, but when I had a wed...
ding date change due to Covid, they worked with me and I was fortunate enough to meet Samantha and Erika. Everyone on the team is so professional, easy going, and unreal at what they do! I am very laid back and wasn’t quite sure how I wanted my hair or makeup but they read my mind and gave me the absolute perfect look for my special day! My maid of honor made the comment to Erika that she has never looked or felt so beautiful in her life. I made the comment to Samantha that my hair looked more perfect than I ever could have imagined. This team is unbelievable, I would highly recommend them to anyone!
I am so glad I decided to have my makeup done professionally for my wedding, because it was AMAZING. Ali listened to exactly what I wanted for my day and added a few special touches that were absolutely beautiful. My makeup stayed flawless all ...
day and night and felt natural. Ali was so wonderful to work with! She went above and beyond on my wedding day. I only wanted my makeup done for my wedding, as my sister was going to do my hair. Unfortunately my sister was unable to make it to my wedding and Ali stepped in to help me with me hair. I have naturally curly hair and wanted to embrace my natural curls. It turned out BEAUTIFUL! I showed Ali a few inspiration pictures and she knew exactly what to do and hair is not her speciality! I highly recommend AnaRie for all of your hair and makeup needs for your wedding day or any other special occasion. Ali was so wonderful to work with. She was professional, responded to all of my questions and concerns for the makeup trial and leading up to my wedding day. She made me feel so special and beautiful on my wedding day. Thank you, thank you, thank you AnaRie!!!
There are not enough words to describe just how wonderful Ali and her team at AnaRie were to work with! From our first e-mail communications, Ali was very responsive, flexible, and easy to get along with! During my makeup and hair trial, Ali an...
d Andrea made me feel at ease and talked to me throughout the process to make sure I was satisfied with what they were doing. Ali walked me through all the products she was using, and was willing to share colors, etc as she went! (I ended up ordering the eyeshadow palette and lipstick she used after my wedding because I loved the colors so much! :) )During my trial, Andrea was so kind in answering my many questions about wear to get highlights at to make my hair look best, what length to keep my hair, where to buy hair pieces, etc! Andrea was also willing to stay late to do a hair trial run for my Mom and Mother-In-Law when they decided they wanted a trial too!
We had a group of 6 bridesmaids, mother, mother-in-law and 3 flower girls and AnaRie ensured we were on schedule (and even ahead of schedule) throughout the day and created such a fun and relaxing environment! Conversations with them while getting your hair and makeup done felt more like a conversation with a friend!! Ali and Tracie made sure all of the girls' make up was flawless and lasted all day long! Several of the girls had never had their makeup done before, and Ali and Tracie made sure they were comfortable and at ease. All of the girls wanted a natural, but glamorous look and Ali and Tracie made everyone look perfect!! Andrea and Lindsey created long lasted hair that ranged from up-dos, to loose curls to braids. Our flower girls felt like princesses and Andrea and Lindsey made them feel so comfortable too! Everyone's hair stayed in through a long night of dancing and fun!!
I can't say enough about how great Ali was in making me feel beautiful on my wedding day up until the second I walked down the aisle! After my first look, something got in my contact which led to lots of eye watering and changes of contacts. Ali was very understanding and willing to touch up my eye countless times until I walked down the aisle!!
I am SO happy I chose AnaRie for my wedding. This team of women was amazing to work with and I would choose them over and over again! They made the getting ready process FUN and RELAXING. If you want a beautiful, flawless look created by kind and down-to earth women, you can't go wrong choosing AnaRie. I would 100% recommend them to all of my friends and family!
They were so fantastic and came to do my hair and makeup at 2:30am for my sunrise elopement!! Cannot recommend them enough!!
I cannot say enough kind, generous things about Ali and her entire team. Planning an out of state wedding came with an extra layer of stress that they all seemed to just instantly make melt away. Originally I had a hard time finding a vendor ...
in decent proximity to our venue, with a natural, effortless style to their work.
I made the trip from Highlands to Brevard for my trial at their studio. The space was intimate, and helped make the experience feel very focused and personal. Ali and Andrea let me tweak away until we had the look just right. I knew I'd found the perfect team!
The day of my wedding, Ali, Andrea, Tracie, and Kelsey all put me and my girls at ease. They listened to what each of them wanted, and worked incredibly efficiently to make it happen in our time frame (also made possible by them even showing up early). Even with a bridesmaid getting emotional over how her makeup turned out, Ali made sure she was truly happy. Having someone with thick skin to deal with so many different personalities and styles was truly invaluable. My mom was also extremely happy with her look!
Ali was extremely flexible, patient, and calm. She was even willing to help hold our pup (ringbearer) at certain times, helped fix my MOH's strap when it popped right before the ceremony, and even gave the option to hang around for touch ups. The list just goes on, I cannot sing their praises enough! If you're looking for beautiful hair and makeup, relaxed demeanor, a look that LASTS all night, and just an all around great wedding day experience - this is the team for you!
Andrea and Ali were the dream team for my wedding! They came to my Airbnb and were easily able to work in a small space. It was an elopement and it was just me there. They were so much fun to talk to and even without a trial run, they completel...
y nailed and understood my style. I felt SO beautiful on my wedding day and my hair and makeup could not have turned out any better. I HIGHLY recommend them to anyone and would hire them again in a heartbeat.
I am so happy that I chose AnaRie for my wedding day makeup! I do not wear a lot of makeup normally and I was really worried that I wouldn’t look like myself on my wedding day. I expressed this to Ali at my makeup trial. She listened and did an...
amazing job keeping my look natural, highlighted my features, and made me feel beautiful. Between my trial and wedding day Ali stayed in constant communication with me to make sure details were in place and that the makeup timeline fit into the wedding day timeline. When Ali and Erika arrived on the day of the wedding they fit right in with my bridal party and made the getting ready process fun and relaxing. They also finished all of our makeup (8 bridesmaids + bride) early and did an amazing job! I felt so beautiful the entire day and couldn’t believe how well the makeup stayed through all of the happy tears and hours of dancing. 10/10 would recommend Ali and Erika for your wedding day!
I became familiar with AnaRie’s work after they completed hair and makeup for my best friend when she got married several years ago. My partner and I decided on a small elopement/micro wedding in Asheville but I knew I wanted to go all out for ...
hair and makeup and I got in contact with Ali the owner right away. She paired me with Andrea for hair and Natalie for makeup. On the day of my ceremony 02/29/2020 both girls arrived promptly and immediately I felt like I had known them forever. They were both so warm and welcoming and made me feel completely comfortable and at ease. The finished product of my wedding look was more than anything I could have ever envisioned. I have never felt more beautiful in all of my life! These girls create magic! I was honestly in tears seeing myself in the mirror. Andrea and Natalie are impossible to beat. The professionalism and talent these girls showcased can not be matched in my opinion. I wish I could get married all over again just to be able to experience that level of glamour once more! Thank you for the best day of my life AnaRie.
Not only are ALL of the girls incredibly talented and personable but all of them work well with each other. They are a true team - and it would be impossible to pick favorites. As a wedding photographer I’ve worked with all of them and when I s...
ee AnaRie is coming I always look forward to seeing how gorgeous my brides look. I have also used their services personally before having my photos with my twins taken and Ali has me feeling like a million bucks - I still get compliments on those photos! Highly recommend them - and I do, always, when couples ask me to give them a list of my favorite hair and makeup artists.
Looking for a hair and makeup team who could cover the range of skin tones and hair types of my bridal party was more challenging than one might think. I had scoured the internet and I wasn't finding stylists' albums that were representative of...
my squad. Until my coordinator let me to AnaRie.
Ali is amazing! Plain and simple. She's thoughtful, thorough, and professional to work with (which is NOT always the case with wedding vendors I learned). And she's TALENTED and so is her team. Ali my dramatic, gloomy romance wedding look a reality without losing ME underneath the makeup. Kerstin was amazing flexible as I changed my hairstyle plans repeatedly, up until the very day of the wedding. I wanted simple, yet detailed; up and then down; whispy but still off my face(pretty much all over the place). But the outcome was beautiful. And she did the same for my girls. They showed her a photo of hairstyles they liked and she made it happen without any trials.
Overall, these ladies played a huge part in my day--and will forever in the memories and photos we cherish. I 100% recommend them for any special occasion you need to feel glamorous for, but especially for your big day. You'll be in great hands!
Andrea and Ali were a dream to work with, and extremely accommodating!
As a hairstylist myself I was originally nervous about getting my hair and makeup done by stylist I was not familiar with. They made me feel right at home the entire time. ...
I love love loved my glam makeup look by Ali, from my dramatic eyes to my neutral lips. She even sent me home with a lip touch up kit, which was great between photos!
Andrea was upbeat and crafty, my curls held all night and through the next day. I loved her take on my hair piece, instead of wrapping it like a head band she twisted it along the back, flowing with the half up half down style.
I 10/10 would work with them again. I loved that Ali was there for me with any communications I could of needed.
As a bride, on one of the biggest day of my life, I am so SO happy that I chose AnaRie to help complete my bridal look. AnaRie was so professional and very responsive to all of the questions a nervous brides throws their way! Working with Andre...
a was so much fun, she was so easy to talk to and I was actually bummed when it was all over because she felt like a friend as we bonded over a love of true crime and good vibes! As an out of state bride, I didn't do my trial run until 2 days before my wedding, Andrea really listened to what I wanted and took into account the many pictures I showed her. She truly has a gift for glam! The day of the wedding, Andrea and her lovely assistant were prompt and managed to get me and 6 bridesmaids ready and out the door looking like superstars, in record time! I can't say enough good things about AnaRie!!
If you get married, have AnaRie do your hair and make-up! Kerstin and Erika did an amazing job on my wedding day hair and make-up. From the super fast communication (seriously - I couldn't believe how fast Ali replied to my emails!) to the easy...
to book hair/make-up trial, these girls know what they are doing! I could not have been happier with how my make-up and hair turned out for my wedding day. My bridesmaids kept commenting on how fast, efficient, professional, and sweet Erika and Kerstin were!! Seriously - the best!
From consistently quick responses to making getting our getting ready process seamless and stress free, working with the ladies of AnaRie for our wedding in December was a wonderful experience. I did a trial a few weeks beforehand in their pers...
onal studio in Brevard, and while I was very happy with the look that day, they took even the smallest adjustments and beautifully brought the wedding day look I envisioned to fruition. They also did my bridesmaids' hair and make up, and they were all very pleased with their services and how well they held up throughout the entire day including the reception. Ali and Andrea were a dream team, and I would absolutely choose them again.
Andrea and Ali were so amazing. When I went for my trial run they made me feel so comfortable. I’m normally a shy person and they made me feel like I’ve known them for years. On my wedding day, they traveled to me and made me feel absolutely st...
unning. My hair and makeup were flawless. When I walked down the isle, my husband just kept saying how beautiful I was. I am so grateful to have Andrea and Ali help make me feel so confident. 100% would recommend these ladies to anyone getting married in the local area.
Ali and her team were more than we could have ever hoped for! She took so much time to make sure we all got what we wanted and that we looked absolutely beautiful on our day. Her whole team came out to a private estate and did all the services ...
there. They were so organized with timing, equipment, and everything else that comes with getting 9 women ready for an event. Everyone was so friendly, we could not have asked for anyone better!
It was AMAZING working with AnaRie. Ali was so responsive with coordinating my hair and make up trial and all of the wedding day information. They showed up EARLY the morning of my elopement which put my nerves at ease with the early timeline w...
e had. They are so chatty and friendly!
I loved how Ali and Andrea really listened to how I wanted my look while also giving very helpful suggestions along the way. They are so talented that I 100% trusted their recommendations when I wasn't exactly sure how I wanted something done.
Lastly, I could not believe how my hair and make up remained perfect through 30 minutes of pretty intense mountaintop breezes.
10/10 recommend Ali and Andrea!!!
As a wedding photographer, we have had the honor of working with Ali and AnaRie on many weddings and it is truly a pleasure every time! She is so genuine and personable and always professional. You can see her passion and it shows in every pho...

I am so happy I got to work with all of the amazing ladies from AnaRie. We had 7 bridesmaids, two moms, and myself to get ready on the day of. They handled it so well! Despite a late start (sorry Ali!!), they got us back on schedule, and actual...
ly, we got ahead of schedule. Everyone was so happy with their styles and makeup. Everything turned out so beautiful! Each of the stylists and makeup artists are also the nicest women, and they make the time in the chair fly by. I can't thank them enough for helping the day run smoothly while also keeping the energy in the room so fun and low key!
Everyone at AnaRie was a pleasure to work with. Several of my bridesmaids as well as my mother-in-law have never had their hair or makeup professionally done. They had an incredible first time experience and everyone looked beautiful the day of...
the wedding. I loved the energy everyone brought the morning of the wedding and could not have asked for a better experience.
Ana Rie was the most perfect addition to the vendors I chose for my Asheville wedding in July. Ali, Erika, and Andrea were just the BEST!!! They followed through on my vision and made my girls and I look and feel so beautiful. I had no hesitati...
ons about knowing they would follow through with excellent work. I wanted my girls and I to look like ourselves and they did just that. They were also just SO fun to hang out with (you want to like the people getting ready with you because you are with them a long time) and they truly embraced my girls and I with all of our quirks. They allowed us to play our mash-up playlist of Disney, Shania Twain, Beyoncé, and Pitbull and were so ready to sing along. I love my girls and I just wanted to take Ali, Andrea, and Erika with me for the rest of the day because they’re that great. I cannot reconvened then enough ❤️
P.S. they are MAJOR girl bosses aka everything I love and more!!
Ali & Andrea were a breath of fresh air to work with for my bridal hair & make up! I was looking for a natural, whimsical look and they nailed it! My hair stayed put for hours & make up didn’t budge. Even through the happy tears! I loved that I...
didn’t look like I was going to a beauty pageant. Also they answer e-mails quickly! I would absolutely use these ladies again and so should you! Extremely happy and our photos were fab- thanks ladies!

I’m so glad that I chose to work with AnaRie for my wedding day. We had Ali on makeup and Emily on hair and they both knocked it out of the park. I have never felt so beautiful in my life! Ali and I talked through what I was looking for and I s...
howed her pictures, and she executed on my vision absolutely flawlessly. I am biracial and sometimes have trouble finding makeup artists that flatter my features and skin tone. I almost always request some adjustments once I see my makeup, but I didn’t want to change a SINGLE thing when I saw myself in the mirror after Ali did my makeup. Emily also did wonders with my hair. I will admit that I was a bit of a mess in articulating what I was looking for to her, partially because I was a little unsure myself. She interpreted the confusing direction I gave her and my hair turned out beautifully. It’s exactly what I was looking for without knowing how to ask for it. All of my bridesmaids and my mom were also extremely happy with hair and makeup. I have a few bridesmaids who are amazing at doing their own hair and makeup, so they are super picky and always want to change stuff. Even they were going on and on about how wonderful of a job Ali and Emily did! This was NOT an easy crowd to please, so that is really a testament to their skills and versatility. My makeup/ hair also looked great all night and photographed very well. I can’t thank Ali and Emily enough for giving me (and my bridesmaids and my mom) the gift of feeling so beautiful. I felt how you’re supposed to feel on your wedding day - beautiful - and I have AnaRie to thank for that! I can’t recommend them enough!
I searched long and hard for the PERFECT hair and makeup team for my wedding day and am so happy that AnaRie was recommended to me by my photographer. It is obvious from their Instagram and the amount of weddings that they do that they are incr...
edibly talented ladies! Lyndsey (hair) and Danielle (makeup) were a pleasure to work with! They both showed up to our AirBnb a little early and finished us up on time! I did not have a makeup or hair trial, but I was not worried based on seeing their previous work. I showed them some inspiration pictures and they exceeded my expectations! The best part was that everyone's hair and makeup stay intact all night long regardless of tears, cake getting smashed in my face, sweat and who knows what else! My hair stayed perfectly for the whole next day even until I finally took it down!! BOOK THESE LADIES NOW! You will not find anyone better!
Ali and Andrea did a spectacular job helping me look my best for my wedding! They are so gifted and made my special day all the more wonderful. Highly recommend them for any occasion where you want to feel like a princess!
Wow! You won’t be disappointed! We were referred to AnaRie by All of the local vendors we were using for my daughter’s wedding day at Pretty Place Chapel. Contacting AnaRie owner, Ali Lawless was easy. Ali was always prompt in her returning of ...
my calls or emails. Coming from Atlanta we set a trial makeup and hair before the wedding. After sending Ali and Kerstin some pictures in advance of what we thought my daughter would like for her wedding day, the ladies began their magic. Kerstin’s attention to detail created a beautiful style just like the one my daughter had selected only better. Ali is a master in creating a stunning wedding day look, her ability to blend, highlight and contour gives a flawless finish. My daughters’ eyes were gorgeous with a smoky look and fabulous lashes.
Wedding day the ladies arrived on time and immediately put our wedding day nerves at ease with their confidence and ability make you feel so special. The Maid of Honor was also pampered with an updo and I had hair and makeup.
The best compliment Ali and Kerstin could receive was when my daughter said she’d never felt more BEAUTIFUL. At the end of the day we were exhausted, but still looked fabulous.
The folks at AnaRie were awesome! Erika did my makeup for my engagement photos and my rehearsal dinner and I got compliments on my makeup both times! And it looked stunning in photos - they really understand how makeup will look in pictures. Al...
i did my makeup for my wedding day and captured what I wanted perfectly! Andrea did my hair and it stayed in place all night - even with the rain we got!! They were excellent and any time I need makeup in western N.C., I’m calling them!
These ladies are so incredibly talented. All of my girls wanted a more natural look, which Ali did beautifully. Andrea was able to perfect everyone’s hair. We had a mixture of girls with updos, hair down, and braids and she was able to do it al...
l. Not only that, they we’re so organized and very easy to work with. We are from out of town, so I was really just going off of what other brides said when hiring. Ali and Andrea made me feel so comfortable at my trail. I had no doubt that things would go smooth the day of. These ladies are pros in every way.
Canceled our contract two months before your wedding!!!!
AnaRie broke the contract.
Paid for two over priced hair and make up trials, both terrible results.
With each trial AnaRie staff was not open to suggestions, seemed offended with respe...
ctful feedback toward the trials. In the end this unprofessionalism by AnaRie turned out to be a huge blessing. We found a different company with hair and makeup artist who have exceeded our expectations in every way!!!!
Response from the Vendor on 09/25/2019
In our team's many years in business (both as independent contractors and as a company), we have had the absolute privilege of working with amazing clients of all different types. AnaRie is a company that prides itself on respect and integrity,...
both in delivering those services as well as creating a comfortable and welcoming environment for our clients. However, in order to provide this, we do rely on a mutual level of courtesy and respect from the client toward our stylists and artists.
We truly wish that our team could have been a better fit for this couple. In this instance, it was clear after two separate trial runs that ended with our staff feeling verbally abused, disrespected, and talked down to, that we were not going to be a good fit for this couple's wedding day. We kindly let the clients know and immediately issued a full refund.
We have never before had to let clients go, however, it is important for us to ensure the well-being of our staff and to do everything in our power to provide a healthy and respectful work environment in which they will be providing services. As it was made clear this was not going to be the case, we made the undeniably hard decision to step away.
We wish this couple all the best and are happy to hear that they found hair and makeup artists that were a better match to their needs.
Ali and her team were beyond what we could have ever imagined! We are not from the area so we were a tad nervous to book someone we couldn’t meet prior. She took so much time to make sure it was everything I wanted for myself and bridesmaids. O...
n the day of they showed up on time and even had most everyone done earlier than expected leaving us not stressed. That in itself was more than I could have asked for. I gave them a couple inspiration pictures and they blew it out of the water. I looked and felt more beautiful than I ever imagined. They were absolutely perfect!
Ali and her staff did an AMAZING job at my daughter's wedding. They were so willing to work with everyone and everyone looked beautiful! I also want to especially thank them for being so kind to my mother with her makeup. I know she took longe...
r than the other girls and you all were so attentive to her.
Thank you for giving my little girl wonderful life-long memories!
The team at AnaRie is absolutely top notch! They are organized, responsive, kind, flexible, and understanding. Andrea was a hair goddess and really listened to what I wanted. She was calm, funny, and sweet on the wedding day - truly adding to t...
he fun of getting ready. My bride squad and I were beyond thrilled with our hair throughout the day.
As a wedding planner myself, I was very picky in the vendors I chose to work with, especially since my wedding was outside of my known market. I had to trust my instincts when choosing my vendors because I was from out of state and didn't have...
much time to meet with & research vendors. For hair and make up I knew I wanted a certain look, and I found it with AnaRie! Ali was always quick to respond to my emails and the process of working with her and her team was effortless. I looked beautiful on the wedding day and the hair style and make up held up all night in the June heat! Thank you ladies for making my wedding day so amazing!
I found it very difficult to find hair and makeup artists in a reasonable price range for our wedding in Highlands, North Carolina. I was thrilled to find Ali and her team online. The trial went very well and Ali was the best communicator of an...
y vendor I worked with. On the big day, Ali, Kerstin, and two of their colleagues were prompt, lovely to chat with, flexible, and provided a great service to my large group (bridesmaids and two moms) and me. Ali does the natural makeup look beautifully and Kerstin did an awesome job on hair and was able to take my somewhat unclear suggestions and interests and turn it into a look that I loved. I loved how I looked and I highly recommend the team!
I think this speaks for itself: Hair stayed in place & makeup didn’t wear off. I did a trial with Sara for makeup and Lyndsay for hair. I was so nervous about wearing makeup. The most I do on my own is mascara, and my (now) husband did not want...
me to wear any. But I knew I needed something. Sara was able to keep me looking like myself only elevated. I didn’t feel like I was wearing a mask. She was so gentle that I didn’t even freak when she put on eye liner. I gave Lyndsay an idea of what I was thinking, but not much. We played with a couple options during the trial, and she was very patient with me. The day of, both of them had to drive up a muddy dirt road, in the rain to the cabin my family rented. They were champs!
I'm so glad we found Anarie Brides! We're from Nebraska and eloped in North Carolina, and planned the whole thing remotely. It was just me and the hubby, very private, no family and no wedding party. Ali was so helpful and accommodating in the ...
planning process. On the actual day, I couldn't believe how beautiful she and Andrea made me look! I've never looked this incredible! Not only that, but they were so friendly and personable that the time in the chair just flew by! I think the most unbelievable part of it all though was that Andrea helped us create and capture our first look. She helped me into my dress and photographed my now-husband seeing me for the first time! I couldn't be happier that these were the women to help us create these beautiful looks on our perfect day!
Ali Lawless of AnaRie is amazing. She applied makeup to 4 woman including the bride at my daughter’s June wedding. All of us wanted to look natural and not overly made up and she made each of us look and feel beautiful while still feeling like ...
ourselves.
Ali listens and has a knack to get each person’s look just right. The morning flew by chatting away to Ali as she applied makeup. She is not only a wonderful make up artist, but a great conversationalist.

Lovely ladies! Put us at ease and made us feel beautiful
Ali, Andrea, and Erika were so great to work with for our wedding. They were easy to communicate with and very responsive. Ali was even responding t...
o emails just a few days before having her baby, setting up trials and making sure all was going well.
For our wedding, these three ladies came to our hotel and took fabulous care of us. They were flexible when a couple of our bridesmaids wanted to add lashes day of and they looked fabulous.
I don't normally wear a lot of makeup but Ali set me at ease making sure that I looked natural and "like myself" while also highlighting some features so I could be "camera ready." Andrea had to cope with my indecisiveness on hair styling but did a fabulous job. I couldn't have been more happy with how things turned out.
Thank you so much to Ali, Andrea, and Erika at Anarie!!
All of the hairstylists and makeup artists that we worked with were amazing! With a wedding with 2 brides and 12 bridesmaids, they had their work cut out for them, and were totally up for it! They showed up early to set up, and were able to fi...
nish in time for us to do bridal party pictures before the ceremony and still have time to relax. They were all happy to take suggestions of what each person wanted and equally happy to give suggestions (which always turned out great!). We couldn’t have been happier!
Ali was absolutely wonderful! Was able to fit my in at the last minute and made me feel beautiful! She was fun & easy to work with as well.
The girls at AnaRie are the best! Not only did they do a great job on my hair and makeup for my engagement pictures, they were super sweet and accommodating as well. I highly recommend them!
AnaRie was the best choice I could have made for my wedding. Ali Lawless did my make-up along with 3 of my friends and we all looked perfect - natural but enhanced. I was very concerned about make-up because I wear so little regularly and I wan...
ted to make sure I looked like myself on my wedding day. After speaking with Ali on the phone, I was confident she knew what I wanted and she delivered! She was very professional but also very fun to talk to. She gave tips along the way and the make-up lasted all night without showing signs of happy tears, kisses and lots of hugs.
Andrea Boyer did hair and she, too, was incredible. I showed her a few photos and she made my hair even prettier than the photos. It was so me and stayed intact all night, even after my somewhat intense dancing! The three of us who had our hair done all got what we wanted and looked amazing. She was so great she even helped another friend who couldn’t figure out how to curl her own hair. Both Ali and Andrea went above and beyond! Hire AnaRie and you will be in good hands!!!
I could not have been happier with my decision to go with AnaRie! My wife and I were lucky to have Ali and Kerstin help us get ready for our big day. Not only are they awesome at what they do, they're so much fun to hang out with! We had lots o...
f laughs during our trials as well as our wedding day. My wife knew exactly what she wanted as far as makeup and Ali did it spot on! Me on the other hand, had no idea, but I knew I was in good hands with Ali. I felt like my makeup matched my style and personality perfectly! Kerstin was so sweet and very flexible when we switched up our hair styles the day of! I gave her a general idea of what I liked and it came out beautifully. It is obvious that she puts a lot of thought and effort in making sure you're happy with your hairstyle. I have no doubt the rest of the AnaRie team is just as awesome!
Love love love! I had such a wonderful experience with AnaRie and can't recommend them enough. Ali was an absolute joy to interact with and she promptly answered every email and every question I had with such kindness. I COULD NOT HAVE BEEN HAP...
PIER WITH HOW GORGEOUS ANDREA AND ERIKA MADE ME! They were literally the best. Both so sweet and fun and they made the whole process a blast! My hair was stunning
...I almost teared up looking in the mirror which is so unlike me. My makeup was gorgeous and I felt so glamorous. My now husband told me that I was so gorgeous when I got to the alter, so mission accomplished. They also did my bridesmaids hair and makeup and did such a good job! They were so patient and creative! Obviously, I could gush on more but long story short, book them asap!
AnaRie was a great choice for my wedding day hair and makeup services! From the beginning Ali worked with me to make sure my entire bridal party and mom could be accommodated for services on my wedding day. Her quick and responsive communicat...
ion was much appreciated and she made sure I knew what to expect every step of the way! She even helped make recommendations for other vendors in the area as I am not from Asheville and needed some direction! It was also refreshing that AnaRie could provide services at my wedding location. That really made a difference, allowing my girls and I to relax and get ready while not having to worry about travel/traffic and timing. On the wedding day, Erika, Andrea, and Kelsey were prompt, fun, and very skilled at what they do! They even provided comic relief through some wrenches thrown in my day and dealt with last minute requests with ease! Working with AnaRie was such a good and easy experience that I wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone! I appreciate all that they did to make me (and my girls) beautiful for my big day!
AnaRie and her team were fabulous. I would recommend them to anyone!!!!! We all felt so beautiful and my daughter (bride) was absolutely stunning!!!!
The hair and makeup was perfect and exactly what we request. Also, they were super patient a...
nd excited for us!!
I cannot thank Anarie enough for their communication, dedication, and professionalism. They were recommended to me by more than one of my other vendors, which says a lot about their reputation in the area. Communication was so quick with them, ...
and they were patient as I adjusted what I was wanting for hair/makeup. They did my hair/makeup for our engagement pictures--which was so much fun! Ali and Andrea made me feel right at home with them, and I knew I had the right team! Then, they did my wedding hair/makeup as well as my bridesmaids and the mothers of the bride and groom. We had Ali, Andrea, and their two assistants. They arrived promptly, and quickly went to work. They were efficient, but also compassionate in their work. Everyone was very relaxed as we were getting ready, and they did exactly what I was hoping for. One bridesmaid had never had her makeup done, and I was so happy with how comfortable she felt with the Anarie crew. I wanted natural makeup and relaxed hair for my bridesmaids. Ali was at least 6 months pregnant, and I cannot believe she stood and did everyone's makeup that day! Also, she has some sort of magic in her makeup, because I cried soo many times (happy tears, of course), and it stayed the entire day!! So, thank you to such a wonderful team for helping me to feel like myself, but a little more enhanced, on our wedding day.
I had the pleasure of working with Ali, Erika, Emily, and a few of their other stylists for my bridal portrait (hair/make-up), engagement pics (make-up), and wedding day (hair/make-up for entire bridal party of 7). Everyone was always beyond wa...
rm, friendly, and professional, and took into account personal style/desired look with what was realistic. I'm sure everybody says this, but for real, I've never felt more beautiful, and all of my bridesmaids were positively stunning. A huge thank you to all of you at Anarie - amazing communication, easy to work with, and such lovely results <3
Deciding to go with AnaRie was one of the best decisions for my wedding! Being a destination wedding hair and make up had me a little concerned but Ali and Andrea instantly made my fears disappear! With one trial run (that I probably didn’t nee...
d because they are so amazing) we were ready for the big day. They truly listen to what you want and don’t do cookie cutter hair and makeup which I greatly appreciate. All of my bridal party looked stunning and we loved getting to hang out with Ali and Andrea the day of. They are super organized and made sure we all stayed on point making sure I had nothing to stress over! If you’re considering AnaRie for your big day stop thinking about it and say yes! They are the absolute best!!
I had the pleasure of hiring Erika from AnaRie to do my wedding makeup. Erika did such a great job and was wonderful to work with! I had a destination wedding, so she was able to do my makeup trial a few days before the wedding so that we could...
perfect my look. I loved how creative and collaborative she was. I truly felt beautiful on that day and can't thank her enough 😊
I also worked with Ali, who was so kind and responsive in helping organize the appointments. I highly recommend AnaRie's services!
It was an honor to have Ali and Danielle do makeup on my wedding day. They were both amazing and have great personalities. They are very professional and truly care about their clients. Ali completed my makeup for my engagement pictures and a t...
rial run, I was never dissatisfied with her work. She was diligent in the days leading up to my wedding and I knew I could truly count on her and her team to make me feel like a bride. She styled my makeup exactly how I wanted and I will recommend her OVER AND OVER again. You cannot go wrong with this team!
Loved Ali's make up team sooo much! Andrea, Erika and their assistants were amazing to work with and came to my venue on time and ready to do. I was absolutely in love with how my hair and make up came out. They listened to what I wanted and ma...
de me and all my girls stunning.
I cannot say enough about Ali, Andrea and the team at Anarie. I am an out of town bride and looking for a good hair make up team my wedding crew. I went soley off of reviews and portfolios on their website (which were all fabulous, but I was s...
till very anxious). I can honestly say the experience and results exceeded all expectations. They are so incredibly talented and professional. They came to the place we were getting ready early, with a crew that could handle all my bridesmaids, and were so efficient. They actually knew my wedding schedule better than I did!! Not only were they professional, but they were so fun. They have great personalities that made everyone feel relaxed - we had such a good time getting ready with them. I cannot say enough about this group - I HIGHLY recommend them 100x over!!
Ali and Andrea were the best part of my wedding day prep. We joyfully eloped with 2 witnesses (our photographer and videographer) and an officiant in September. Because we were planning such a private ceremony, it was crucial to me to pick the ...
right people for my hair and makeup-- not just for style, but for personality and setting the mood for the day. I was over the moon that morning, but I was also a typical anxious bride! The power of female camaraderie and strength was very important to me and the calm, loving energy Ali and Andrea brought with them was the most reassuring and comforting presence on the morning of our elopement.
Ali is such a doll and knew exactly what to do for a bride who never wears makeup. My natural features were accentuated and she guaranteed I would still look like myself. She was also very open to any changes I wanted made-- she took her time making sure I was 1000% satisfied with the finished look. Sitting in her makeup chair was like catching up with an old friend and I'm searching for every reason to need her services again.
Andrea is pure magic when it comes to her ability to bring out the best in your hair. She took my request for Khaleesi-style braids and ran with it- the first time during my trial run and then again on our wedding day. Both times we talked about tv shows and tattoos and family and everything you discuss with your friends. The first comment people make when seeing our wedding photos is "Omg your hair!!" which is exactly what I say every time I look at the sneak peaks we've gotten back. I cannot recommend her highly enough.
Ali and Andrea are the DREAM TEAM and I'm so glad they were on mine!
Kerstin and Sara did an amazing job with hair and makeup, and it was such a joy to work with them! Many thanks, AnaRie!!
I had the pleasure of working with Kerstin and Sara for my wedding hair and makeup, and they knocked it out of the park. From the trial to the big day, they listened to my vision, gave great advice, and made me feel very comfortable. I felt so ...
beautiful and confident on my wedding day - these ladies are true artists! They also created gorgeous, unique looks for my bridal party and mom. Ali was extremely helpful in coordinating everything and answering all my beauty questions. This is one amazing team!
I absolutely love AnaRie and Ali. They were perfect and so much fun. I would highly recommend them for any wedding. We did a destination wedding and they were accommodating and easy to work with even from out of town! Thanks, Ali!!
Working with the team at AnaRie was an exceptional experience. The girls were very friendly, made me feel very comfortable (on such a stressful day!), and were an absolute pleasure. Their work was exactly as I had hoped. They listened to my des...
cription of the look I wanted to achieve and were very open to feedback throughout the process. I couldn't be happier we chose to work with AnaRie. Great team! Thank you!
Ali, Kerstin and their team were a pleasure to work with! They were each so fun, calm, cheerful and talkative on the day of the wedding, creating the perfect atmosphere for the morning - all of my bridesmaids had a blast getting ready with them...
, as did I! Their work was exactly as we had discussed prior to the wedding day, and they took any last-minute tweaks in stride. They made me and my ladies look like our most beautiful selves, rather than heavily made up, which I loved. I would recommend them without a doubt and hope that I have an excuse to use them again in the future!
I'm pretty sure I showed up for my appointment a bundle of nerves, but Ali was so comforting and soothing, and just absolutely kind. She was so down to earth that it made me lose the anxiety and settle in for a great experience! Not only is she...
very talented and skilled at what she does - but she makes the whole experience so relaxing and fun. She made me feel super special on my day, and I am so grateful for that! It's a total bonus that she's the kind of lady you want to be BFFs with afterwards!
It was an absolute pleasure to work with Ali and Andrea for my wedding makeup and hair. They did a fantastic job and worked with me to make sure I felt my absolute best while making sure I looked like myself. Not only are they talented, but the...
y were so much fun to have around on the day of the wedding while we were all getting ready. Without a doubt, I would choose them over and over again and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for hair and makeup services.
Ali and Andrea were amazing! I was a very stressful bride at the time, we got married during a bad storm and the power went out. Ali and Andrea still proceed to do our hair and make up with no concerns. My hair turned out exactly how I wanted t...
o be for my special day! Ali was very sweet, not only that she has done a great job on our make up she was very personable and treated all of us like great friends. All my girls were very comfortable and love their hair and makeup. This company is very professional and easygoing at the same time. Even though I was stressed from the storm these 2 ladies made me and my family very happy at the end! One of the best experience and I thank you!
Andrea Boyer styled my hair for my wedding. She is so wonderful and talented! She came to my venue, was on time, and even helped me fasten my dress since I didn't have anyone else with me (it was an elopement). I had to use extensions since my ...
hair is only shoulder length. Everyone keeps asking me how I grew my hair so long for my wedding because she did such a good job blending them with my real hair! 100% recommend.
A little pricey compared to other vendors I had researched, but was recommended by my photographer. On time to all events, did a good job and offered to meet at a location closer to home for the trial.
I hired Ali and her assistant to do make up for myself and all my bridal party girls at my recent wedding. I’m big on being natural in both what is used on me as well as the look. I was really happy with the results of both myself and my girls!...
Everyone looked amazing and our make up lasted all night long! Thank you Ali! :)
Anarie couldn't have been a greater pick for wedding hair and makeup. I did a trial with Ali and Kerstin a few months prior to my wedding, and that really solidified that I'd made a great choice in ladies that would listen to my vision and make...
me feel naturally beautiful.
Kerstin worked with me to get my hair just right during my trial - she asked super detailed questions, like if I wanted my part straight or a little more crooked/natural, or for my updo if I wanted my hair to cover my ears all the way, halfway, or none, etc. Perfect for someone who is a little picky about their wedding day hair (guilty)! On the wedding day, she replicated the trial hair exactly and I was 100% happy with it. Plus it stayed put all day without looking stiff.
I know nothing about makeup, but somehow Ali took my very vague description of how I wanted to look and executed it perfectly. Again - she listened to the details, like the fact that I hate how I look with any kind of eyeliner underneath my eye. Also - my skin is TERRIBLE (dry, red, acne-prone), so during my trial she gave me some skincare tips and told me some great/affordable products to use, which really helped calm my skin down and clear it up before my wedding. Of course that made my makeup look SO much better too.
They also did hair and makeup for all my bridesmaids and the two mothers, and I thought everyone looked amazing.
Anyway - can't recommend these ladies enough. Super talented, great listeners, and will make you feel very calm and taken care of on your big day.
When I called Ali with AnaRie to inquire about hair and makeup for my wedding, it felt like I was talking to an old friend. She was so friendly and comfortable to talk to, which I found to be the most important aspect when assembling my wedding...
day squad! I knew her work was great from instagram (super natural, yet glamorous), but feeling at ease to be able to let her and her teammate, Andrea know if there was something more or less that I wanted for my hair and makeup! I would love another reason to work with AnaRie! They were the perfect choice to make our wedding so incredible!
This is the second time that I have had the privilege of working with Ali. She did my makeup for my engagement pictures a few years ago. Her professionalism and warmth is second to none, so I had her do my hair and makeup for my elopement too! ...
Ali is incredibly talented! I am so indecisive that picking out a hair style and makeup color was beginning to overwhelm me. I trusted Ali and let her make all of the decisions for me, and I couldn't be happier with the results! She made a highly stressful afternoon very relaxing and enjoyable, and my hair and makeup lasted all day and night Thank you for everything, Ali! You really are the best.
I cannot recommend AnaRie highly enough. If you are looking for a soft, natural or a glamorous, bold look, Ali and her team do it all. Important things to know about me: I was very nervous because I wear very little makeup in my daily life, I a...
m a big crier, I sweat easily, I'm incredibly pale (like put on your sunglasses, my skin may blind you) and prone to blotchiness, with red hair that is always frizzy. For some (unknown) reason, I thought getting married in the south at the end of May would be best for me. Somehow, Ali was able to help me overcome ALL of these things with perfect, streak free, makeup that felt light and natural on my face. I want to cry thinking about how beautiful I was able to see myself and my skin on my wedding day. If you have ANY concerns about your skin or makeup look the day of your wedding, Ali will be able to walk through them with you-she is an angel with magic brushes.
Also important to note, I fell in love with her portfolio because of her flawless ability to highlight natural beauty. My mom, on the other hand, loved her portfolio for bold eyes and glamorous looks. Ali moved seamlessly from me, to her, to my 4 girlfriends, all with different skin, hair, and eyes, and made us feel and look so beautiful. She also went above and beyond in her service to me later in the day. I honestly wish I could hire her to come get me ready every morning.
Also, huge shoutout to Andrea who did mine and my mom's hair for the day of! Because of a giant snowstorm (1-2 in., thanks NC), I had to have my MU and hair trial the night before my wedding. Was not stressed at all though having seen Andrea and Ali's work before. Andrea styled my hair in the up-do I wanted for my wedding day and then took it down and curled it for my rehearsal activity that night. She worked my shoulder length, angled bob into a beautiful chignon with front twists and soft curls. My mom came the day of with (real) hair extensions to go with her very thin, short hair and had the most beautiful up-do she never thought possible.
I CANNOT thank Ali and Andrea enough for their incredible work on my wedding. Every woman deserves to feel her most beautiful every day, but especially on her wedding day. I saw myself more beautiful than I ever had. I felt so confident and careful in the natural look she created for me. Please hire AnaRie Bridal-you will not be disappointed.
AnaRie saved my wedding day look! During my planning time for my wedding, my makeup artist was unable to do my makeup for my special day. I was so sad & frantically began to search for other vendors that could help make my day what I always dre...
amed of. When I thankfully found AnaRie, I went on their website and immediately called them because their work looked incredible! I spoke to the owner and she was by far the sweetest person I had spoken to throughout my entire wedding process. She did everything in her nature to help find me an artist who would be able to do my makeup. She emailed me that same day and gave me the good news letting me know that one of her artist was going to be able to do it for me and I remember crying because I felt so special. The artist, named Sara, was also the sweetest and most patient person ever on my wedding day! She affirmed me and made me feel so beautiful and she did a phenomenal job on not only my makeup but the makeup of my family and friends! She was so willing and open to helping everyone out without complaining. She had a positive attitude throughout the entire process and I couldn't be more grateful to have her there. Seriously, if you're looking for someone to help make you look absolutely radiant & gorgeous on your wedding day, CHOOSE ANARIE!!! They have the skillset to do anything and everything you're desiring, plus their awesome personalities will brighten your day even more :)
Ali did such a fantastic job with the makeup for my wedding! She was very professional, sweet, and fun to be around! She captured my vision for my makeup and even made tweaks last minute!
AnaRie was one of the best experience for our wedding. My mom and I had our makeup done by Erika who was professional, fun, and listened to what we wanted. I received so many compliments on the color or my eyes popping all because of Erika’s wo...

Ali's team was so wonderful to work with, and they are incredibly talented. My sweet bridesmaids and family felt so beautiful, and my makeup and hair was exactly what I was hoping for! I am so grateful that I chose to work with them, and would ...
absolutely recommend them to my friends!
I reached out to my photographers for makeup recommendations (because they're the ones who see the brides through the WHOLE day), and mine said that Ali Lawless is the best. And they were SO right! As a gal that doesn't wear a lot of makeup, Al...
i made me feel totally comfortable through the whole process. At my trial, she created the perfect look with pretty much no direction from me! On my wedding day, I requested a tweak in the eye makeup & she said that she was actually thinking about the same thing when looking at the pictures from my trial! Aside from her professional work, Ali was such a calm & supportive person, which ended up making such a difference on my stress levels as multiple mishaps occurred on my wedding day. I could not have asked for a better experience!
Ali Lawless did my make up for my engagement shoot and my wedding day and I cannot say enough wonderful things about her. From the moment I met her, I instantly felt like her friend. She is easy to talk to, warm, and has a very calming presence...
– which you definitely want on your wedding day! I don’t tend to wear much makeup, so I was a little apprehensive about how I would like the look. I wanted to have an enhanced natural look so I would still look like myself and feel beautiful and picture ready. Ali delivered beyond belief. She made my skin look flawless and made my eyes pop without looking overdone! Since I used my trial run as makeup for my engagement shoot, she also took pictures and asked for feedback and then changed the eye shadow a bit so it wouldn’t be the same in both sets of photos. On the day of the wedding, she and her assistant (Erica) were amazing. All 6 bridesmaids were so happy with their looks and commented on how fun both ladies were to chat with. I was so thankful to have them be a part of our wedding day and could not imagine a better team to work with!
I would 10000% recommend AnaRie to any brides in the WNC area. Not being local, I very luckily hit the jackpot with this crew. Emily, Erika and company were absolutely phenomenal in handling my rowdy bridal crew on my wedding morning. They work...
ed with all of us and made us feel so wonderful and beautiful. I really felt comfortable and like a princess on my wedding day. The artists are just that - artists. My bridal party all loved their day-of styles and were so happy with the services provided. Thank you so much for helping to make my wedding day a dream come true!
If I could give AnaRie more stars I absolutely would! Erika Stuttz did my makeup and Andrea Boyer did my hair for me and my husband’s low-key, private wedding ceremony at the Craggy Gardens a month ago, and I couldn’t be happier with how every...
thing turned out. I’m not from the Asheville area, so I was nervous at first trying to find vendors for the big day. However, they completely eased my mind during my hair and makeup trial and made me 100% confident I had made the right choice. Erika and Andrea were both rock stars and helped me achieve the exact look I was going for….which I feel like wasn’t an easy task. “I want it to be obvious I’m wearing makeup, not be too bold, but still kinda sorta be bold…and classic….and oh yeah, I don’t want my freckles and mole to be covered up”. That’s basically what Erika had to work with and she nailed it! I was just as happy with how my hair turned out. I have fairly long hair, but I literally don’t do anything with it….ever. Andrea was able to take my blahhh (at best) locks and somehow achieve these gorgeous flowy, loose curls that held all day. For the record my hair NEVER holds curls. She’s a magician I say. I think the only way my hair will ever look that good again, is if I have Andrea do it again haha. Also, Andrea and Erika fit right in with my bridesmaids! They just seemed like one of the gals, which definitely helped ease any wedding-day jitters. I felt like a princess on my wedding day and I have Erika, Andrea, and AnaRie to thank for that.
I cannot say enough great things about Kerstin & Ali. Ali made all the setting up SO easy, and Kerstin made me feel gorgeous on my wedding day. They accommodated me during my elopement and Kerstin even traveled to our cabin to do my hair and...
makeup! She made it so much fun and I could not be happier with the results! Thank you guys so much! I HIGHLY recommend AnaRie to do your hair and makeup for any even!!!
