Beauty By Sue

rked on updating my look a little bit. Also due to COVID my bridal party changed drastically as did our ceremony timeline, and Sue was really easy to work with to reconfigure the contract and services for the day. Sue is so sweet in person and provided tons of good makeup and hair tips to people as well, and she gave me good recommendations on skin care to prep for the big day. She also provides this really great packet of information for your big day - to include pictures of your trial looks, schedule for the day, and many other pieces of information that were easy to copy and paste for the other girls getting services. Most importantly, my hair and makeup turned out amazing - I'm totally obsessed with the look!!! I normally don't wear makeup at all, but I honestly forgot I was wearing makeup. It was really light and didn't feel gross by the end of the day, and she used individual fake eyelashes since those seemed to be the only ones that didn't bother my eyelids. When I initially told her that I wanted bright red lips (to match my "Lisa Frank" wedding color scheme) she actually had me try 4 or 5 various shades of pink and lighter red before putting the bright red on just to make sure that was what I actually wanted because it's so strong. I appreciated that she really wanted me to look my best and wanted me to be sure of what I wanted, and in the end the bright red lip was amazing!! My hair stayed up all day - which is incredible given the sheer volume of very thick hair that I have. I got so many compliments on my look, I have never felt more beautiful. I would absolutely recommend Sue to anyone, and I would use her again in the future. Thank you Sue!!

and made myself & each person in my bridal party feel special and highlighted our individual beauty. Sue did an amazing job with my hair & makeup - the wedding photos are beautiful & it lasted all day/night! The personalized bride makeup kit was just icing on the cake & speaks to her attention to detail. I highly recommend Sue & will definitely hire her again !!

and makeup set the tone for what proved to be the perfect wedding day for Caroline and Tyler. The assistant she brought along that day was equally kind and professional, and deserving of high praise for her talent and helping to set the perfect tone of relaxation while offering top-knot her beauty services. Every one of us getting our hair and makeup done felt listened to and pampered, and beautiful!! Wonderful experience!

ed, I wanted to change my hair and in talking with Suzanne, I felt comfortable that she understood my vision. But most importantly, her work was phenomenal. Both day of and still now looking at photos, Suzanne made me feel and look exactly as I had always imagined myself (and then some) on my wedding day. I am so, so thankful!! Two months later, my bridesmaids still talk about how they actually loved their hair and makeup, which I feel is pretty rare. There is always someone who doesn't feel like themselves, doesn't love it, etc. Admittedly, we showed up late day-of, but Suzanne and her team were incredibly efficient and calm executing and catching us up on time. The whole morning felt effortless and put me at such ease - and we all had a blast. If you are looking for someone who is beyond organized and listens and executes to what you and your bridal party are each looking for... look no further.

s and they lasted the entire next day. She helped me with my veil, and even when people accidentally tugged at it during pictures, it didn’t move at all! She was so amazing, and I highly recommend Sue for hair needs you may have!

Sue took my vision for my hair and make up and knocked it out of the park. My hair and makeup lasted the entire day/night and we were hardcore dancing and it still held up. She even gave the bride a "bride bag" that had all the essentials I didn't even think about for the big day. If you are looking for a hair and make up artist look no further. I cannot speak more highly of Sue. She will not disappoint!

my bridesmaids, mom, MIL's hair (they all loved her too!), and most importantly she made me feel relaxed on my wedding day. I can't recommend her enough😊

imagined! My make up was flawless and stayed on all night! I also learned so many tips and tricks with hair and make up! Thank you Sue! I couldnt be happier :)

rstyles that matched their style and personality. For day of, I wanted a little more volume than trial, so Sue seamlessly made the edits and I LOVED how the style turned out. Feels like you're hanging with one of your girlfriends which also helps make the day that much more special! Also, her communication is so thorough and clear, which made changing dates a few times so smooth. I knew I could count on her! Highly recommend. :)

She also provided a thoughtfully crafted bag of bride touch up materials to keep me running. Wouldn’t change a single thing. Thanks, Sally!

up artist. During our trial, I was able to speak how I was feeling or not feeling as she did my hair. Not once did she make me feel like I was being picky. In fact, I came back to her for a color refresh a week before my wedding and she gave me THE BEST hair I have had in my life. Not only did she make me AND my bridesmaids feel like our best selves but she has gain a client for the future. Thank you for making me and the most important women in my life not only look but feel beautiful.

r your wedding she’s the lady for you!

tal bonus! I was thrilled with having her there. She did my hair and makeup for my wedding day. She came completely prepared, had all the backups in place, provided a great touch-up kit for my day, and the entire process from booking to trials to contracts and payments to the best part - bringing to life my wedding look - was top notch. I've never received so many compliments! ;)

n time. She did such a beautiful job with my hair/makeup and the hair for all of my bridesmaids. My MOH was amazed that her (and the other girls') hair looked just like the pictures they showed Sue. I wanted my hair down with natural, loose curls that wouldn't frizz in the July humidity and she made it happen (not an easy task)! My husband said afterwards 'you picked a great hair/makeup person!'

s patient and helped me to prepare and feel ready for the big day! Sue has tons of experience, and her skill put my mind at ease. On the wedding day, Sue was calm and quick in getting us ready with her amazing assistant. Ultimately, I felt and looked great on my wedding day no matter that it was a humid June day in Washington, D.C.!

)! I generally struggle with liking my hair and makeup when it’s done by someone else, but I loved both for my wedding! Would definitely recommend!

ly kind person. She was super understanding when I messaged her to schedule a second hair trial. I also loved that she gave me a little touch up kit on my wedding day, which I found really thoughtful. She really made me feel amazing on my wedding day and I can’t recommend her highly enough!

re the wedding. She’s an all around excellent hair stylist, makeup artist and esthetician! I got so many compliments on the wedding day about how “glowing” my skin looked! I was also really impressed with how on top of things she is with using new payment platforms and scheduling tools which made all of that a breeze! Thanks Sue!

es that I liked. When I reached out to Sue she was responsive, professional and gave me the reassurance I needed that she would be able to execute what I was looking for. My trial went great and I could not be happier with my day of look. Sue and her associates arrived on time (they had to travel from NOVA to Richmond), set up quickly, and finished ahead of schedule which allowed them to squeeze in my friend, who due to a new infant was not sure she would be able to participate. Everyone looked so beautiful. The moms, my friends, me niece. Sue of course was amazing, but so were her associates! They worked magic on short, long, and curly hair and makeup was not "overdone" like it sometimes can be when wearing event makeup. I would 100% use them again and would start going to Sue regularly if I didn't live in DC and hate 95-S traffic :)

products she was using, and overall was a great person to work with! My trial (in her home) was fun and relaxed and she really listened to my vision for the day. And the day of, Sue re-created that vision perfectly! Would definitely recommend her to any Northern Virginia area bride!

so flexible. I got so many compliments on my hair and make up. The look was very natural that I wanted, and she knew exactly what to do for me. I definitely recommend Suzanne doing both your hair and make up for any occasion. Thank you so much!

bride, in my 50's and I cannot tell you how many people came up to me and told me how flawless my skin looked. Thank you, Suzanne, for helping to make me feel like a beautiful bride!

day 😊 When I had my trail I was happy with the look however later on I felt that my hair might have looked a little too flat and I communicated that to Suzanne, she told me that she had some ideas to add more volume to my hair and that we could certainly change that. On my wedding day we talked about the changes and honestly she made my hair and makeup look BETTER then what I ever imagined!! I got so many compliments and everyone kept on asking me who did my hair and makeup. My bridal party and my mom also LOVED there look, Suzanne did an amazing job!! The entire process was a great experience, Suzanne always answered my questions right away and really listened to what I wanted 😊 Also, Suzanne also provides other services which was great! A few days before my wedding I got a spray tan from her it was my first time ever and she explained everything to me and I absolutely LOVED my tan (did not look orange at all which is what I was worried about), I got so many compliments! I also got my eyelashes permed, also first time and absolutely LOVED it!! I would HIGHLY recommend Suzanne!!!

iece who was so excited to be treated like a princess. On top of all that my makeup was flawless and lasted the whole night! I didn't worry about having to touch up at all and my 2 year old niece called me Moana all day. So thank you Sue for helping to transform me into a Disney princess!

the night, and Suzanne was a pleasure to work with!

akeup on my wedding day! Sue’s professionalism and attention to detail is incredible, and I envy her talent. I truly couldn’t have had a better team for my special day! Thank you Sue!

I was so thankful to have her there with us on our wedding day and appreciated her accommodating my family's requests for a variety of hair types! Suzanne is very talented and can handle a range of hair and makeup styles - I highly recommend working with her!

med of long hair on my wedding day. She even died a few of the extensions blue so I could have my "something blue"

was very professional and responsive. The day of the wedding, everyone’s make up looked very natural and held up flawlessly throughout the day, even with all the tears of happiness. Suzanne did a great job of listening to what I was looking for during the bridal makeup trial and come the day of the wedding, it was perfect! Everyone in the wedding party looked gorgeous! I was really impressed with how well the makeup stayed, yet still felt and looked natural. She also provided me with a touch-up kit which was super helpful. I am so happy to have used Suzanne's services and highly, highly recommend her!

not over-the-top. She also loves answering questions and educating you on products, techniques, and tips! I had extensions put in and they were styled so seamlessly that many of my friends thought they were my natural hair. I was very happy with my hair and make-up on my wedding day!

nd overall style. One the day of, she was very prompt, efficient, and professional. Suzanne recreated the exact look from the trial, so I knew exactly what I was getting. My bridal party looked fabulous as well. Our makeup and hair turned out beautifully and lasted all day and night even through 80 degree weather, sweating, and dancing. (The air brush makeup is amazing!)She even gave me a little goodie bag with chocolates, touch up items, and a special gift. Now that is what I call customer service! I felt her pricing was very reasonable, especially for such great artistry. Do not hesitate to book her, she is fantastic.

and makeup since I'm absolutely clueless about that sort of thing and was very personable. She took care of things I didn't even think about, including airbrush makeup and the perfect fake lashes. My whole bridal party had nothing but great things to say about Sue and her laid-back professionalism. Everything lasted perfectly through the night and I looked exactly as I imagined I would on my wedding!

bridesmaids also raved about their hair and they looked stunning. Suzanne is incredible and was so calming for all of us at the beginning of such a big day.

ist. Sue was just that and more. She left me feeling flawless on my wedding day and did everything I requested. She came with all her equipment. My hair and makeup held all day and night. I needed to be ready by 1 and the party didn't end until midnight, I kid you not my hair stayed he entire time. I had heard she was great at what she did, but oh man she was by far the best! If you're looking for someone to trust and do your hair the way you want it, go to Sue! She is super sweet and friendly.
