Ashley and the entire team was everything I could have asked for and more! Ashley is fun and easy to work with. She understood how I wanted my hair and makeup to look, and took my instructions/vision into a reality. Ashley was easy to contact, ...
and super responsive via email. The morning of the wedding her team arrived early to set up and kept on schedule doing 7 women’s hair and makeup. Everyone LOVED how they looked. Hiring Ashley was the best decision!

Caroline,
Thank you so much for allowing me and my team to help you and your loved ones get ready on your special day! I hope your Wedding Day was everything you dreamed it would be! Good luck to you and your husband on all of your future ende...
avors!
Warmest Regards,
Ashley <3
Of all the things that my family members had a strong opinion, in terms of the wedding, it was my hair. I was wearing a traditional Kandyan saree (think South Indian) which would require a low bun and also would need a middle part in order to ...
place multiple hair ornaments. All the images I googled showed monstrous updos that looked like a second head had grown on the back of their head and flower bush then grew out of it. Ashley gave me two hair trials so that I could find a sophisticated up do style that suited both me AND my family members. She even offered to hide the florals that I initially did not want. In the end, she placed it so tastefully that I had a very sophisticated look. She dealt very well with the pressures and opinions of my family. When my bridesmaid was unhappy with her chignon, she re-did it to her liking. I want to note that she was able to work with multiple hair types: my sister-in law is Ugandan and has 3-4C hair, my cousin has hair like Rapunzel that fell past her waist, and she was able to place my cultural hair jewelry so that it did NOT fall out. And she did it all with great humor and patience. Loved working with her.

Ashley and her team were amazing both on the trial day and on the big day! She had such a welcoming demeanor that we didn't look elsewhere after meeting her. She captured my hair and makeup perfectly and it stayed on all night (tears and all).
Any questions?
I first reached out to Ashley less than three months out from my wedding when I had to cancel my previous hair vendor for various reasons. I sent inquiries to multiple vendors on a weeknight evening, and Ashley was the first to respond. Ashley ...
was extremely helpful and patiently answered all of my questions. When I described the style I was looking for, she assured me she had the perfect person in mind, and that was Georgia. Georgia is so kind and cares so much that you’re happy with your hair style. I ended up having two trials with her after my initial vision fell flat. She took her time in the trials, and incorporated my feedback from the second trial on my wedding day, and I could not have been happier with how my hair turned out. It was humid and rained on and off all day, and my hair did not frizz at all. My bridesmaids wanted various styles, and Georgia smashed them all out of the park as well. I highly recommend working with Ashley and her team on your wedding day. Ashley and Georgia are both incredibly kind, patient, and caring. You can truly tell that your happiness and confidence is what is most important to them. Thank you Ashley and Georgia for helping all of my wedding hair dreams come true!
Ashley was so incredibly helpful and supportive from day one! She provided hair services for my wedding day for myself, four of my bridesmaids, two parents. My hair turned out more beautiful than I could have ever imagined! She was so responsiv...
e to answering any questions and helping me to feel calm as I got ready for the day. I would highly recommend her for your special day! 🤍
Ashley was very friendly, professional, and responsive. She was also very good at sticking to our timeline. She did bride, mother of bride, and one other woman’s hair and makeup. I absolutely loved my hair and Ashley was very helpful in putti...
ng in my veil. My skin looked glowing with my makeup and didn’t get crusty over the course of the day. The others were very happy with hair and makeup too. Ashley also helped with other things that she did not need to help with (steaming veil and dress) which was very kind of her. Overall i would recommend.
After a bit of a “wedding emergency”, I was back on the hunt for a new hair/makeup team for my wedding. I could not be more grateful that the search led me to Ashley Riley’s team. Both my hair and makeup artists were kind, professional, and kep...
t me relaxed/present throughout the day. I was blown away with my trial, and it was even better than I could have imagined on the big day. I felt exactly how every bride wants to feel…like an elevated, glowy version of herself! In a matter of minutes, my artists were able to look at me and look at my inspo photos and made them a reality. My bridal party and moms were also really happy with how they looked…formal hair and makeup can feel like a lot when you aren’t used to having it all the time. However both artists considered the wants/needs of everyone getting ready and made it work. I could not be more grateful to Ashley & her team, and I have already started recommending them to all the brides I know.
Ashley was a pleasure to work with! My bridal party and I looked absolutely amazing and our makeup held up fabulously throughout the night (my eye makeup held up til the morning)
Would gladly recommend her!
Ashley was absolutely amazing! My hair came out exactly how I imagined it would! Could not have had any one better for my big day!!
Ashley is really great at what she does! I wanted to look like myself and I have never felt more beautiful than on my wedding day. She really listened to what I was envisioning and I could not have asked for anyone better. She also did my mom ...
and my sister's hair and makeup and they LOVED their look. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a hair and makeup artist. She is a wonderful person and I would hire her again in a heartbeat. Thank you so much again for making me a beautiful bride!

Ashley is AMAZING. She knows what she's doing. Ashley is so much fun and personable, while still remaining professional. We spoke on the phone to set up a contract and it felt like I was talking to a friend I've known for years! When I went to ...
my trial, I felt like I was hanging out with a friend. She just makes you feel so comfortable. She is always a text or email away if you need her. She is so kind and go with the flow. I changed what I wanted to do with my hair two weeks before the wedding and she was totally fine with it. Ashley was very helpful and flexible - two very important qualities you should look for in a hair stylist and makeup artist for your wedding. My biggest thing was that I needed to look like me with my makeup on. I've been in weddings where the makeup made me look like a different person. At my trial, we looked at my finished makeup in all different lightings to make sure I loved the outcome. I loved it! She made me look like me, but better. She came in and rocked hair and makeup. Her team did an amazing job too! On top of all that, her prices for hair and makeup are extremely reasonable. I will be recommending Ashley to anyone I know who is getting married in the future! And if I ever need to hire a hair and makeup artist for some reason in the future, you better bet I'm reaching out to Ashley first! Thank you again, Ashley!
I cannot recommend Ashley enough; she was one of the most responsive vendors during my entire planning process. She was always clear, professional, and was very organized in all of her communications with me. Before the wedding day, Ashley eve...
n created a timeline for the morning-of to ensure we stayed on track.
Prior to booking Ashley, I reached out to several hair + MUA vendors and Ashley was the only one who recommended discussing on the phone in more detail. I really appreciated that she took the time to do this and found our call extremely helpful.
Ashley was able to achieve the look I wanted on my wedding day, even though I decided to forgo a trial. I do not necessarily recommend skipping a trial, but if you need to it's reassuring to know that you are in extremely good hands! I was pretty anxious the morning-of and Ashley remained calm and was able to make the minor adjustments I requested.
My bridesmaids also loved Ashley + her team and were so happy with their looks!
Ashley did an amazing job -- my make up looked fantastic! My hair looked beautiful but did it come out of the bun a bit (I should have asked her to touch it up before leaving though). Ashley did my hair & make up. She also did my bridal party's...
make up and brought another artist for their hair. She was also able to refer to me to a hair stylist to do highlights to add dimension to my low bun before the wedding. My favorite part of working with Ashley (besides her reasonable rates) was her flexibility. She was able to adjust services after booking (which many vendors won't due). Thank you so much, Ashley!
Ashley did my hair & makeup (bride) along with some of my bridesmaids and family. She did a perfect job and I cannot recommend her enough! She is extremely flexible and well-versed in many styles. She was so helpful and communicative leading up...
to my wedding day and when preparing for my trial. We completed the services early that morning and everything held up through the entire, hot day through photographs and dancing. She is amazing!
As the maid of honor for my friend two weeks agoI must say that Ashley made the chaos a much easier experience. As our makeup artist - she was punctual, professional, sweet and calm.
We are older women and when I jokingly asked her to make me...
10 years younger - she did a great job. The makeup was flawless, natural and lasting.
I would highly recommend Ashley for your special occasion - you will not be disappointed.
Ashley is an amazing stylist. She was super responsive and helpful through it all. I received hair and makeup for my wedding along with 4 other women. She is super real and chill which is most definitely helpful during a stressful day. I don't ...
wear a lot of makeup and was worried about it being too much but it was the perfect amount to make me feel glam but also myself. Would highly recommend!
I hired Ashley to do my wedding makeup and the makeup of my bridesmaids, mother, and grandmother. I was also in need of a hair stylist for my bridesmaids, and Ashley was happy to provide that for me as well! From the very beginning of the plann...
ing stages, I could tell that Ashley was on top of everything. Shortly after I booked her, she sent me a detailed contract with all of the information. Later on throughout the planning stages, I had to change the number of people who would be getting hair/makeup services multiple times, and she was always so responsive quick to respond with a new, updated contract. I actually felt bad about the number of times I was changing this up on her, but she always remained flexible and for that I am very appreciative! Now let's talk quality of service. All of the bridesmaids, my mom, and grandma looked absolutely STUNNING and I was in love with my makeup as well!! Everything just turned out perfectly! I would definitely recommend!
Ashley and her team were nothing short of amazing not only on our wedding day but for trial and the days leading up. Her application for both hair and makeup were flawless and lasting of the whole event, she prepped and came organized, and her ...
and her girls made everyone comfortable. She finished my whole bridal party with time to spare while delivering amazing qulaity product and service. Ashley should be your one stop shop for wedding glam or any other event!
Ashley was absolutely incredible for my wedding!! Her and her team made all the girls look absolutely gorgeous with both hair and makeup. They were amazing with handling all of our high demands and did a phenomenal job with a lot of different ...
hair types/skin types. It was a true pleasure to work with Ashley during the whole process. I would 100% recommend Ashely to anyone for both hair and makeup and feel very very lucky that I had her for my wedding. Her and her team were incredibly talented.
Love Ashley. She did an amazing job I loved my hair and make up. I couldn’t ask for anything else. Ashley made everything so natural looking I never felt so beautiful that day. Dancing all night I did not sweat off my makeup up and my hair sta...
yed in place even fell asleep with my makeup and hair still up and it still looked great next morning. When we plan our big church ceremony Ashley will be my first call would work with her again and again.

Ashley did such a wonderful job on my wedding hair and makeup, even without doing a trial and only after looking at a few reference photos. She was easy to schedule and communicate with, was upfront about her procedure and costs, and is highl...
y knowledgeable and skilled in her trade. My hair and makeup lasted all day which was impressive seeing as she was done by 10:30am. Most of all though, Ashley's calm demeanor and confidence in her abilities, allowed me (as a stressed bride) to fully trust her and go into my wedding gorgeous and ready to take on the day. I would highly recommend booking Ashley; you won't regret it!
Ashley was great! She had such a great energy and understood exactly how I wanted to look on our wedding day. She asked for examples ahead of time and then made sure we were on the same page. I can never get my hair to hold a curl, but she h...

Very professional - she kept my mind at ease and we greatly enjoyed having her hang out with us :). I felt stunning.
Ashley is incredible. - I am a very indecisive yet simple person, I showed Ashley some ideas of what I was looking for and she completely nailed it. She is professional and extremely personable. She’s definitely everything I was looking for for...
