ere fun and relaxed, and they truly take so much pride in their craft. My girls and I looked AMAZING, all night long!!!! To add to my five star experience, I didn't really know what kind of hairstyle I wanted. During my trial, I gave Asal some loose ideas, and she curated the most stunning updo for me, which was then perfectly recreated on my wedding day. My hair was my favorite part of my look all day, and Asal's vision truly came to life. She has a special gift and a talent working with brides. I've been in many weddings, and I have also not seen such high quality bridesmaid makeup. Seriously, every single person looked stunning! Thank you Asal for sharing your gifts!

Asal took her time with every detail, never rushing, and made me feel completely pampered. What truly made the experience extra special was that she even treated me to a little photo shoot before she left — it was such a sweet, thoughtful touch that helped capture the excitement and joy of the moment.
I was beyond thrilled with how both my hair and makeup turned out. She brought my vision to life for my trial and on the day of my wedding in a way that made me feel even more beautiful than I could have imagined. On such an important day, feeling confident and radiant meant the world to me, and Asal played a huge role in that.
Thank you, Asal, for your incredible talent, professionalism, and warm energy — you were a dream to work with!

She was so fun and we loved having her and her assistant with us the morning of the wedding. My bridesmaids all felt beautiful, and my mom LOVED her hair and makeup. I was told by several of my girls (who are all veteran brides and bridesmaids) that this hair and makeup was the best they’ve ever had done. My mom—who isn’t a big makeup person loved her makeup and felt herself. Those in my party who opted out of hair and makeup (including a cosmetologists) all said they wished they had gotten it done because everyone looked so good. I can not recommend them enough, they were so so wonderful! Definitely worth the cost. You get what you pay for!

She finished exactly on time and I was able to get to my wedding early, which is impressive with the large party I had. I also have very thick and relatively long hair, but she is very experienced and had no issues making it look beautiful in the limited time we had. She is also very prompt at responding to messages and very accommodating of any requests. Lastly, her prices are very reasonable for the quality of service that you are getting.

What an amazing experience we had with Asal. She did an incredible job with all makeup and hair for me, my mom, and my mother-in-law. I have never heard my mom say that she felt go...
rgeous, but even two weeks after our wedding, she can't stop raving about how the makeup and hair made her feel. And I am still getting compliments about how great she was to work with from everyone I've spoken with.
Like many other brides recently, we were engaged for nearly three years and made three separate wedding plans with two postponements due to COVID. Finding new vendors was no easy feat when we had to move our wedding from Vermont to DC, and I am so glad we chose Asal to work with.
Throughout the process, Asal was professional and listened to each person's preferences. I would hire her again in a heartbeat, and can say for certain that if you choose Asal as your vendor you will be blown away.

Asal was great from the very beginning. I appreciated her taking the time for the consultation to find out what I was looking for. I shared with her previous bad experiences I’d ha...
d with make up artists not knowing how to deal with my skin tone and she assured me we would be able avoid this. She has experience working with all types of people and skin tones and we would be able to perfect my look at the trial. Asal was super responsive and would always get back to any questions or comments I had within a timely manner. My trial was done in time for my bridal shower, and even though I wasn’t quite sure about some parts, Asal knew what would look good and encouraged me to give it some time to sink in so I’d have a better gauge about how I felt about it (I generally don’t wear too much makeup on a day to day basis). She made me look and feel beautiful without making it look like I was wearing a ton of makeup. I was getting compliments all day on my hair and makeup. I tried an updo that morning and it did not budge all day until I took it out in the evening.
Skip forward to the wedding day. In addition to me, Asal did hair and makeup for my mother and best friend. She listened to what they had in mind and brought out their natural beauty. Neither my mom nor my best friend wear a lot of makeup and Asal did a great job doing natural looks for them.
I had a traditional Vietnamese tea ceremony in the morning, for which she gave me an updo. I wore a headdress and so she planned my hair around being able to work with that, no problem. As for makeup, I had an unfortunate accident the day before the wedding that resulted in some mild bruising on my face that started to appear the day of. Asal was not fazed at all and made it disappear, like magic, with it still feeling seamless with the rest of my makeup. No one could have guessed anything was out of the ordinary. She stayed the extra time for me to have a change in hairstyle (updo to half down) and do a makeup touch up. I had brought a hair accessory that she incorporated beautifully. My makeup and hair were flawless all day (aside from some tears welling in my eyes that Asal took care of during the touch up). I could not have asked for a better person for the job. I am so glad I found Asal and am so happy with how everything turned out. I will be going to her for any of my future makeup/hair needs. I cannot recommend her more highly!
Thank you so much Asal!

Asal was wonderful to work with. She did my hair and makeup as the bride, 6 bridesmaids, and my mother for my wedding day. Everyone loved their hair and makeup which was amazing be...
cause they are all so picky! I went with airbrush makeup and we had a slight problem with it not drying on my nose properly. Asal was able to quickly redo the makeup on my nose without the airbrush finish and still blend it perfectly with the rest of my face that was airbrushed which was a huge relief. My hair also stayed perfectly curled all day and night which never happens! I would highly recommend Asal for hair and makeup for your wedding day. She is very professional and has a real talent for hair and makeup.

rward with the wedding ceremony in May as originally planned. Asal was very flexible with all the changes. She is easy to work with, and was very patient with all my requests. The airbrush makeup turned out absolutely flawless and lasted all day. I received many compliments on it! I'm looking forward to working with Asal again in December for my reception. I highly recommend Asal - you will not be disappointed!

I looked through a lot of makeup artists for my wedding and loved Asal's style so much more than anyone else I saw. My bridal party all wanted pretty different looks, and Asal and ...
her team gave everyone exactly what they wanted, whether it was a more natural look or something more dramatic. I absolutely loved my wedding makeup and hair, and all of our hair and makeup stayed perfectly intact for 15 hours or more. Asal also has a really good eye and instinct for what would look good with your dress and the general look you're going for, even if you're unsure of exactly what you want, which was enormously helpful to all of us. I'll definitely be recommending her to all my friends and relatives who get married or have big events.

Asal was absolutely amazing to work with. She is professional, reliable and very skilled. She made me feel very relaxed throughout the entire process and I trusted her completely....
She was able to accommodate my trial on a late afternoon, listened to what I wanted and after the trial I booked her on the spot. I will say that I was very picky with my hair and makeup and prior to finding her I went to a few trials and none of them turned out the way I was envisioning. Finding the makeup/hair artist was the most difficult thing for me in the wedding planning process and I was so thankful when I met Asal. Everyone in my wedding party loved their hair and makeup. I couldn’t have made a better choice by selecting her.

Asal was a dream to work with for my wedding. After a previous hair and makeup artist flaked on me for my wedding, I was so happy to have Asal recommended by a friend. The trial ...
run was great, and you can tell she pays attention to detail. My maid of honor went to the trial with me and gave Asal the stamp of approval too, so I knew she’d be a good choice. On the day of the wedding, Asal and her assistant kept to their schedule and I think may have even finished a little early. All of my girls’ hair and makeup looked amazing. Some of them do not normally wear heavy makeup, and Asal did a good job to not pile it on heavy for them. My mom also got her hair and makeup done, and was very indecisive about what her look should be. Asal made great recommendations to her and executed a flawless look for my mom as well. We all looked great! My hair and makeup lasted all night, which as a bride who had to brave some wind outside and likes to dance A LOT, that was so amazing to not have to worry about my hair falling out or my face melting off! I felt truly beautiful on the inside and out on my wedding day thanks to Asal.

Asal is incredible! I live in Colorado but had my wedding in Virginia. Asal and I were not able to line up our schedules before my wedding so we weren't able to book a trial. Despi...
te going into it blind, Asal did a phenomenal job. She listened to what I wanted and checked in with me along the way to make sure I was happy with each step. The makeup she used lasted all day and didn't look or feel caked on/heavy. Asal was a dream to work with-- I would highly recommend her services!
