Bridal Artistry NC

Alexa did an amazing job on my hair trial!! She was so sweet and did super good with my curls (and so quick!). My makeup was also perfect! Barb paid attention to every detail & the colors were not only blended perfectly, but they really went well with my skin tone. Barb actually not only gave me the lipstick I liked (full size), but also mascara primer AND the under glow facial primer all to take home with me so I can bring them all for the big day since we moved our wedding location from Wilmington to Cancun ♥️♥️

Barb and Kerah were an amazing makeup team! Everyone felt and looked gorgeous! They captured the light and natural look while still looking glamorous! Lauren and Veronica nailed everyone’s hair inspo! Everyone was so kind and pleasant to work with on a day that’s typically full of stress! I cannot say enough amazing things about this team!! Go with Barb and the Bridal Artistry team for your wedding day!

Barb and her team were absolutely amazing with all of the planning and execution of our hair and makeup plan for the wedding. I originally hired her specifically because I have a bridal party of a variety of mixed races and skin tones and I knew she had experience with a wide variety of ethnicities when it comes to makeup, as well as her hair stylist, Veronica, who has loads of experience with all different hair types and textures under the sun. The week of the wedding, Barb had an unfortunate accident and was unable to do my makeup...but she immediately called me and made sure to have another amazing artist substitute for me who did amazing. Her communication and planning was great and we had everything put together by the time the day came around. Veronica did all of our hair flawlessly and her makeup substitute artist was great and she always includes the lip color she uses on you for the wedding for you to take home! A very caring touch.

I was one of the lucky clients who was able to get a Bridal Artistry DC contract before Barbara decided to solely focus on her North Carolina location. When I came for my hair and makeup trial, there was a bit of an issue with the stylist I was initially assigned to and within ten minutes of reaching out to Barbara and telling her my concerns, she found an alternative hair and makeup team for me ! I had the pleasure of having Steph Cluff as my hair stylist and Sondra Lewis as my makeup artist and can I just say - wow. I never felt as beautiful as I did on my wedding day and that was a huge part thanks to the wonderful work these girls did! For my trial, they traveled a pretty substantial distance in the evening to make sure they could complete my trial before I had to go out of town and they had the most wonderful ideas for what I can do for my hair and make-up. Unfortunately, one of the people in my party decided to not get their hair and make-up done, but Steph and Sondra were happy to accommodate me regardless. I made some last minute changes for my wedding day hair and Steph perfectly executed my vision and Sondra’s makeup was flawless. Not to mention that these two women are also incredibly kind and were such a joy to have around on the morning of my wedding when my nerves were at an all time high. Highly recommend!

Barb (makeup) and Alexa (hair) were so great to work with for my wedding! We did a trial a few months before so they were aware of my style and what would work with my skin tone. I knew from then that I was in good hands. Barb was so kind and flexible with last minute additions and brought Kerah (makeup) in to ensure we would stay on time. My bridesmaids were able to select any hairstyle they liked and Alexa was willing and able to accommodate all of their wishes. Barb and Kerah provided flawless makeup and everyone looked so beautiful. I, incorrectly, assumed I needed airbrush makeup to last all day but Barb assured me that her 24-hour, hand applied makeup would work best and she was not wrong. My makeup still looked great 12 hours, and many tears and dances, later! I highly recommend Bridal Artistry for your wedding makeup and hair.

Barb and her team were amazing! Barb took her time during the trial to make sure everything was exactly how I wanted. She took detailed notes and when the big day came, it was smooth sailing. All of my girls were so happy with their hairstyles done by Alexis and makeup done by Barb. They were both so easy to talk to and pleasant to work with. We all felt like models before they left and I would 100% recommend Bridal Artistry and their services!

I worked with Barb from Bridal Artistry for my wedding makeup. I couldn’t have been happier with the results! A few weeks earlier, we did a makeup trial and she took excellent notes so that the day of was a breeze! She really listened to my preferences and checked in several times during the process to make sure I was happy with the progress. She showed up on time and was very professional. She’s also a wonderful conversationalist and before I knew it, she was done! I would definitely hire her again for any makeup needs!

had the pleasure of working with Barb (make up) & Alex (hair) for a wedding anniversary celebration and I couldn't be happier! She accommodated my early Sunday morning appointment and not only did an amazing job but also provided a comfortable and welcoming atmosphere in her studio. I truly enjoyed working with both, Barb was so kind and patient with me and she applied the make up step by step making sure that i’m happy with the result. Alexa as well, showed me each step of the process, ensuring I was comfortable and informed throughout. I highly recommend Bridal Artistry for anyone looking for top-notch hair and makeup services! Your happiness is guaranteed 😊

Barb was absolutely amazing!! I was a destination bride, so I did a zoom consult with Barb and the hair stylist, Jenna, several weeks before the wedding. I outlined my vision and boy did they deliver! All of the wedding party looked amazing!! I cried several times that day, and my makeup (and hair!) was still near perfect by the end of the night.

I have never had my hair or makeup professionally done, and while I was hesitant to spend the money, I am so thankful that I booked with Bridal Artistry NC. The rates were by far the best I could find, and the quality of services was outstanding! I gave myself a $350 budget for my own hair and makeup and was so pleased that they were able to accommodate my budget! I did a hair trial with Alexa and she was able to trial a couple of different styles so we had a clear game plan for the day of the wedding. She also did my sister and mom's hair, and helped keep their hair full of volume despite the NC summer humidity. Barb did our makeup and walked each of us through step-by-step what she was doing so that she could create the look we envisioned. For instance, I rarely wear makeup, so she applied small amounts at a time and periodically checked my comfort level. While I wanted a more natural look, my mom wanted a full glam look and she was able to accommodate that request, showing how versatile she is! Both Alexa and Barb made us feel comfortable and confident. They also traveled to my venue without an additional travel fee-which was a game chnager! I highly recommend booking wiht them if you are getting married in Wilmington, NC.

I couldn’t recommend bridal artistry enough! From booking, trials, and communication to the final product on my wedding day, everything was flawless and stress free! Barb and Lauren made myself, bridesmaids, and moms look and feel absolutely beautiful for our special day. They listened to everything we wanted and gave us exactly what we were looking for!

Barb and Lauren are amazing! The products are the best quality and my look lasted all night through my reception and into my afterparty! I can’t recommend Bridal Artistry highly enough!!

Barbara and Alexa were absolutely amazing! From my trial to the actual wedding day they were super communicative and organized. They made me and my bridesmaids feel so beautiful and happy. We all felt like princesses! I could not recommend them enough. They finished our hair and makeup with plenty of time before the ceremony. They are absolute rock stars!

Barb and her team are beyond excellent! I was new to the area when planning my wedding. I inquired with Bridal Artistry and I do not regret it!!! She responds fast and planning was professional! The team went above and beyond to create my beautiful wedding day look! She does a wedding trial to make sure every hair/makeup detail is to your liking of the big day! I HIGHLY recommend Bridal Artistry!!

I used Bridal Artistry to prepare me for my engagement photo shoot in North Carolina and was absolutely blown away by how well my hair held up and the beauty of the makeup! The team made my vision of two hair looks come true, taking into account the weather of being outside and my two different ethnic looks: Indian and Western. I had a great experience and appreciated that they even fit in my fiancé! Barbara's communication was absolutely exceptional. She was always responsive, quick to communicate, and asked questions to help ensure she was able to bring my vision to life!

I hired Barb to do my makeup and Lauren to do my hair for my wedding in Wilmington, NC! I am so happy with their work! During my trials and in the weeks following, they were very patient and kind while working with me to find the look and hairstyle I wanted. They both gave much appreciated advice and were quick to respond to texts and emails. The icing on the cake was that they were more affordable than many of the other HMUA we looked into and high-quality at the same time. Many thanks to Barb and Lauren :)!

Barb, Lauren, and their team were amazing! From my trial a few months before to the actual big day, working with Barb was so fun and very easy! I had a total of 10 women plus a flower girl getting their hair and makeup done the day of my wedding so it was a busy morning. Barb provided a schedule with timeslots for all the ladies which really helped ease any stress on my end. They listened to all the ladies requests about how they would like their hair and makeup and everyone looked gorgeous. I highly recommend Bridal Artistry!

Barb was great for our bridal party makeup! She listened to what each girl wanted, and made their unique look come to life! Alexa is a phenomenal hair stylist, if you can get Alexa for hair get her! This team made us feel and look exactly like we wanted to!

The makeup looks by Barbara were done really well and looked amazing! Alexa did such a great job with everyone’s hair and was able to do exactly what everyone wanted! Both ladies did a fantastic job!

Barbara was a joy to work with. Like most brides,at first, I thought I knew exactly what I wanted. A natural look with subtle lashes and lip color. As the wedding day approached I realized that this was the one day I could/ should be able to be total glam. Barbara was super understanding and allowed me to do another trial makeup session for a total glam look, the week before the wedding. She nailed it! Also, my advice to anyone who may fake and bake like I do be sure to ask Barbara for her advice on skin care, cleansers, toner, etc. I have dry and oily skin so going to the tanning bed usually helps my breakouts, but with all the stress of the wedding I had a bit more breakouts then usual. Barbara did a fantastic job. I personally fell in love with the Bridal Artistry line Makeup she uses. My skin can be very sensitive as well and this line of makeup has been the best by far! Her assistant also received all the praise for her ability to do a total BOMB red lip all the way down to a simple elegant eye and lip. If you take anything away from this just know that Barbara and her Team truly care about every single client they work with from the Bride herself, the mother of the bride and all the bridesmaids. These ladies really take their years of experience and focus on your skin specifically. I would love to work with Barbara in the near future:)

Barb did my bridal make up as well as my two bridesmaids and my mom's make up the day of the wedding. My appointment was made rather last minute so Barb and I met via zoom in advance and she listened and really understood all my preferences and concerns. She traveled to our location to do our makeup which really made the day less stressful. She wore a mask for the entire visit and respected everybody's space and safety concerns. She even helped me solve an expected skin problem when I woke up to a peeling back and had to be ready for my open back dress. We all loved our makeup and felt beautiful all day!

Barb and Jasmine were an absolute delight to work with! They gave good recommendations and were extremely flexible. Last minute my flower girls wanted their hair done - Barb and Jasmine were extremely accommodating. Highly recommend!

Barb, Alexa, and Andie were absolutely amazing!! From the trial run (which was in August where I was pouring sweat for my Bridals) to my wedding day, my makeup with Barb stayed FLAWLESS and hair by Alexa was PERFECT! I would highly recommend them for your special event!!!

Barbara and Lauren were both so wonderful to work with as my hair and makeup team for my wedding. Firstly, you could tell that they were true professional and very knowledgeable about their field! My hair stayed in place all night long despite all the crazy running around and my make up stayed on without any smears or smudges! My favorite part about my make up was that it felt light and airy! Both Barbara and Lauren really worked with me to bring out the highlights of my face and it shows in my wedding photos!! I would definitely recommend them for future brides or anyone looking to get an excellent hairstyle or make up for any event or occasion. They're definitely the ones to go to!

Barbara helped me look and feel like a princess on my wedding day. I was beyond happy with the final result. She is kind, engaging, easy to work with, talented, and professional. I highly recommend Bridal Artistry NC.

Bridal Artistry is a wonderful place for all your Bridal make up needs! Barbara, the owner, is fantastic! So nice, so professional, and so helpful. She had great ideas. I did a trial with her a few weeks before my wedding so we could work out what kind of colors I liked and see what worked well with my skin tone. When I originally did my trial I picked a more red lip color. The day of the wedding I changed the lip color I wanted. The original color I did during my trial was pretty, I just got nervous about doing something that red since I almost never wear lip color. I told Barbara what I was thinking the day of the wedding and she instantly had a great idea for a lighter lip color. It worked perfectly! All my bridesmaids looked beautiful as well. Barbara made them look fantastic from just their ideas and some pictures. The make up is so light, you barely notice you're wearing any. Everyone looked beautiful all day long. The make up lasts the entire day! You cannot get anyone better than Barbara and Bridal Artistry!

Barb is fantastic! She is so patient and flexible and I LOVED my wedding day makeup. Alexis is super personable and fun to have on your day of! My hair was perfect. Definitely recommend this team!

Barbara and Lauren were both so wonderful to work with from start to end result. They were both very professional, fun and accommodating - especially since my wedding was on a holiday (New Year's Day). The communication with Barbara was very easy and she was always responsive to any questions. They took my hair and makeup ideas and turned them into a beautiful reality. Even after standing out in wind and cooler weather my hair and makeup still held up beautifully. They also made my mother and mother-in-law both feel beautiful which helped make the day special for them. I was very impressed and would HIGHLY recommend.

She was extremely professional and was a life saver when Covid hit. She made everyone look beautiful and perfect. Would highly recommend her to anyone.

Bridal Artistry was the perfect answer for my makeup and hair needs! I made a quick change due to Covid-19 to cancelled my destination wedding and we decided to get married locally less than two weeks out. Her response time was immediate, and she asked the appropriate questions to clearly understand my vision and really made my girls and I look our best. I could not have asked for a more accommodating and professional vendor.

She was on time, easy to work with, responsive, flexible with times (it moved a few times right before due to weather), and she did a great job!

Barbara drove to our house (over an hour away!) and did make up on 7 of us in a row. She is truly an artist! I thought everyone looked absolutely beautiful and very natural as well. We had porcelain white skin to Hispanic skin tones and her color selections were great on all of us. She knew how to get our eyes to stand out as well as hide my dark circles. She was very professional, fun and enjoyable to talk with. I highly recommend her to anyone!

I loved Barbara and her team, getting married during this strange time is difficult, so having a great team makes it all the more important. I don't wear makeup on a daily basis, and during our hair and makeup trail I got to see what I liked and didn't like. Barbara was so patient when I change lipsticks a few times to find the perfect one. I felt like a princess, and it all photographed so well! Bonus you get a full size lipstick to keep and I just love mine.

Barbara and Bridal Artistry was perfect for our wedding day! We originally planned to have a wedding in April 2020 where there would be 6 people getting their hair and makeup done; but due to COVID-19 we have to change to a super small ceremony in June. Barbara was so flexible and understanding and so kindly drove 4 hours just to do my makeup to make sure I looked beautiful for my wedding day. She also found someone last minute do my hair for the big day! The wedding plans definitely were stressful during this time and Barbara was very comforting and made me feel much better about the big day! My hair and makeup for the big day was perfect!

Barbara was amazing!! I wanted a very natural makeup look on my wedding day since I don't usually wear much makeup and wanted to feel like myself. She was extremely accommodating while also giving me enough extra coverage for the makeup to show up in pictures and emphasize my features. Barbara also did an amazing job at covering the redness I have from Rosacea, and finding the perfect color for my foundation despite me accidentally getting a tan before the wedding. She did makeup for my maid of honor and mother in law too, who loved their looks as well. Couldn't have had a better experience and so grateful we chose Bridal Artistry NC!

Barbara and her team at Bridal Artistry were amazing!!! We first did a trial run which went very well and put me at ease for the actual wedding day. Barbara and her team took their time doing the trial hair and makeup run and ensured I loved everything before our wedding day. The entire team was very friendly and nice and went above and beyond to make sure I loved my wedding look. The Bridal Artistry Team was very punctual and thorough and really made our wedding day as special as it could be. Not to mention, they were very flexible with last minute changes to the schedule the day of our wedding. The hair and makeup team did such a wonderful job in making sure all my thoughts and ideas were heard and catered almost exactly to the look I was hoping for on my wedding day! I could not recommend the Bridal Artistry Team highly enough. Thank you so much for being a part of our special day and making sure I looked and felt like a princess!!!

Barbara was so nice and easy to work with! I was planning my NC wedding from OH, and honestly looked into hair and makeup later than I should have. Even with a short notice, Barbara and Jasmine got me in for a trial run while I was in town for the weekend. They both did such a great job! Barbara even had experience with different cultures and was able to help place my tikka and dupatta for the Hindu ceremony. Unfortunately due to the Hurricane, and mandatory evacuation, I wasn't able to have my beach wedding, so the trial is as far as we got. Barbara and Jasmine were so nice and understanding about the cancelation. I was looking forward to having them for my wedding day and I'm sure they would've done a wonderful job!

I got married on July 22, 2018. When I first met Barbara, she was so easy-going, warm and friendly. My first makeup trial with a different company didn't go well at all, so I was happy when Barbara took her time during the makeup trial to understand what I wanted and then delivered great results. A few weeks before my wedding, I got really tan by accident and was nervous this would make things difficult as she would have to time extra time to match my new shade of makeup. Barbara was very reassuring and on my wedding day she did an excellent job with not only adjusting my makeup but doing all my friends' makeup really well. She was very talented at making us look like a more enhanced version of ourselves but still natural looking! Each lady in my bridal party was allowed to keep a full lipstick and our makeup stayed the whole day- no smudging or melting in the summer heat. Thanks, Barbara. It was a joy to work with you!

I am now the third bride in my group of friends to have Barbara and the Bridal Artistry team do their wedding hair and makeup. What I appreciated was that there wasn’t a minimum number of services or people I had to have to work with Barbara & Mandy. I respect for the time and commitment to this type of service, many other companies have minimums. I was trying to keep things simple and wasn’t having a big bridal party. It was just going to be me, my (now) mother-in-law, and then hair styling for my (now) sister-in-law and 2 “to be determined if they will sit for it” young flower girls. Barbara was totally fine with this and didn’t add any additional charges for not having a certain number. Additionally, when my (now) husband tells me the night before “hey, my cousin was wondering if she could get her hair done” …they were wonderfully flexible and added her. My hair & makeup trial was included in my hair & makeup package, which was reasonably priced when I researched this against how other companies charged separately for the trial and then the wedding day. Personally, I couldn’t see trying to opt out of a trial so welcomed having all this bundled together. The reason I gave them all 5 stars – not only for their beautiful work & talent, but their commitment. Mandy (hair stylist) had a small injury and I would have totally understood if she had someone else from the team sub for her that day. Nope, she showed up and did an incredible job despite being under the weather. To me, it meant a lot to not have a new person jump in on my wedding day even though everything was documented with pictures and you get the sense that the whole team are true professionals. My group of friends is running out of brides, so I hope my review can inspire others to hire Bridal Artistry!

I first worked with Bridal Artistry as a bridesmaid in a friend’s wedding in Nov 2016, and asked for so many of her vendor recommendations as I began planning my own wedding. I had thought Ky did a wonderful job with my hair in my friend’s wedding, and asked for her by name. Barbara was quick and responsive over emails the whole time , and Ky was available for our day. The day of the trial, we also discovered a bit by chance that Laura (makeup) had worked my friend’s wedding, too! Ky spent a lot of time asking questions during the trial: I had a few photos, and she was able to get me to describe what I liked and didn’t among the different ones. We landed on the perfect look on the first try, and didn’t need a single change. Laura was spot on with what I wanted from makeup: nothing over the top, but clearly better than my every day! The day of went wonderfully for myself, and five bridesmaids (plus a blowout for my mother in law). Everyone looked stunning and the styles held through the very last dance.

I spent A LOT of time researching bridal hair/makeup before I chose Bridal Artistry and they are by far the best out there. I'll start by saying that I have A LOT of hair and I'm always apprehensive when it comes to having it styled by someone because I know how overwhelming it can be. When it came time for my hair and makeup trial Norma was able to tame my mane like the pro she is. She had no problem getting my hair to do exactly what I wanted it to do! Sondra was my makeup artist and she was able to create the exact look I was going for and took the time to mix a few different shades of foundation to get my exact shade of incredibly pale! On the day of the wedding Norma and Sondra both arrived to my house 10 minutes early and got to work immediately. I have hair and make-up done for my brides maids and the mothers of the bride and groom and everything was perfect. I even changed up my hair and make-up slightly from my trials and both artist perfectly captured my vision of what I wanted. Everyone looked gorgeous the entire day and both hair and make-up held up in the July heat!

Barbara and Norma did a great job on me and my family members. I normally do not wear a lot of makeup and did not really know what would look good, but Barbara created a look that was very natural but still looked right for the event. Norma also did a great job on my hair. I have very thick wavy hair that she made into a great braided look. My mom also got her hair and makeup done and it looked amazing. My mom sent some pictures of what she wanted for her hair and Norma came up with something that was just what she was looking for. I recommend Barbara and her team very highly. After going to the hair/makeup trial, I was very assured that it would look great on the big day and it did.

I had a great experience working with Norma from Bridal Artistry for my hair and makeup. The trial and day of both went smoothly and Norma was a pleasure to work with. Everything was easy to book and pricing and terms were clear from the start. Definitely recommend!

I have nothing but wonderful things to say about Barbara and her team (Sondra-makeup & Norma- hair). From the beginning, they were always responsive to my emails and really put me at ease. On the day of my wedding, Sondra showed up early and the rest of the day was a breeze and stress-free from there. Hair and makeup was done for over 10 women with different complexions, styles, etc and they worked with each of them to ensure they liked their final product. For my hair and makeup, Norma and Barbara knocked it out of the park! Highly recommend this team!

Disastrous. Makeup was not what was done at the trial and I had to wash my face and do it myself 15 minutes before my bridal photos and video. I had to ask video and photo to wait while I reapplied my makeup, chewing up very precious time and money. One of my bridesmaid's ended up washing her face and doing her makeup herself as well. I paid in advance by 8 months and gave both stylists their final payment, plus advanced tip 30 minutes before my makeup was finished. We were asked to pay immediately after hair was completed because the stylist who had done our hair had to leave early for another appointment. I should have waited until my makeup was finished before I tipped, but we were being pressured to pay quickly so that the other stylist could leave. When my makeup was finished, it was obvious that I was extremely unhappy. The makeup artist never asked to fix it and instead started packing up her things and left without saying a word to anybody, while I sobbed and was consoled by my family, while everyone in my suite (including my photographer) frantically tried to help fix this disaster 45 minutes before we had tp leave for the cathedral. I am just relived that the hotel hosting my event was able to come through and find me a celebrity makeup artist to meet me in my suite before the reception. This of course took away from the time that was supposed to be used for the remainder of our photos, all thanks to this business. I am hoping that the several grand spent for video and photos will not be ruined because of the lack of skill of one individual at this business. Both stylists were late by an hour and 30 minutes to my trial 3 months ago and I should have known the direction that this would take during the biggest event of my life. The owner was very dismissive over the near no-shows for the trial and just as well for the disaster that had been my final bridal makeup. Thank goodness that the hotel saved the day.

I highly recommend Bridal Artistry. We used them for on-site hair and make-up services for myself (bride), the bridal party, and our mothers. Jacinda (hair stylist) did such a lovely job and helped find a special look for each of the girls. She also had everybody ready with time to spare. Audrey (make-up artist), was fabulous as well. Her work was impeccable and we all looked just as good at the end of the night as when she left us that morning. Very happy we went with Bridal Artistry. They listened to everything we asked for and made excellent recommendations, captured the whole vibe of the wedding and really brought out the best look in each of us.

I have no hesitation in recommending Bridal Artistry. Not only are they a team of super talented, professional and organized beauty artists, they are super fun to be around, which is exactly what you need on such an important day. The ease of plugging into this network for both my hair & makeup needs for myself and the bridal party made things so simple. Jacinda and Norma came onsite to the venue which made for a very simple and stress-free getting ready environment. I am so pleased with both my wedding look in-person as well as my wedding photos. Loved my beauty pit-crew!!

Barbara did my makeup on my wedding day and it was absolutely fantastic. I'm a wedding photographer, so I've seen tons of different makeup artists but Barbara was the one I decided to go with for my big day. Her knowledge of makeup and her professionalism stood out amongst all the others. I can't thank Barbara enough not only for doing such an amazing job, but for allowing me to look back on all my wedding images with such fondness -- not an eyelash was out of place and I have her to thank for that! Next, I have to thank and recommend Shaunda Jenkins, who did my hair on my wedding day. Having had my hair professionally styled by her, I wish I could afford her to do my hair every day. My hair is super fine and flat. But on my wedding day, it had tons of volume that looked so amazing and lasted all day. I can't say enough good things about Shaunda. If you're looking for an amazing team of beauty artists, you need look no further!

Barbara and Norma made myself and my bridesmaids look absolutely beautiful! I highly recommend them and will use them again for future, formal events.

I hired Bridal Artistry for my hair and make up and I was so happy with the final product! Jo and Jacinda were SO friendly and came to the hotel to help me and my bridesmaids get ready. Admittedly, I was kind of nervous after my trial, I think mostly because I normally have my hair in a ponytail and I don’t really wear makeup, I just didn’t feel like myself. On the day of my wedding, I admitted this to them, and Jo and Jacinda listened to my every request, and were very reassuring. They were accommodating and toned down my look, and even had the photographer take pictures throughout the whole process so I could look at myself and see how it would translate to pictures. I am so grateful for their patience with me! I looked like myself…but better! I felt so confident the whole day and my make up and hair stayed in place! My bridesmaid’s hair looked great and I know they enjoyed being pampered, too. Their prices are very reasonable considering they travel and come to you! I highly recommend Jo and Jacinda!

Bridal Artistry was fabulous! The trial process was fun and easy and I left knowing that I would be in excellent hands on my big day. Audrey was my makeup artist and Shaunda my hair stylist. They were prompt, professional, and everyone looked absolutely amazing when they were finished working their magic! I couldn't have been happier with the results! It was a lovely experience working with them and I highly recommend them both!

The company was very quick is responding to me and very flexible, especially considering I waited until 3 weeks away from my wedding to find a hair/make up stylist! We were paired with Norma and she did a fantastic job. During the trial run at her house, she listened to all my ideas and was able to fit all of them in. She is lovely and such a sweet person. The day of, my hair was exactly how I wanted it and stunning. It stayed in place all day which was a big deal, because my hair tends to go straight after an hour of being curled. The make up was also great; I looked flawless and radiant. I woke up with big bags under my eyes that she helped make disappear. I received so many compliments from my guests! Norma was also so flexible in being able to fit one of my bridesmaids in last minute. The overall cost was a bit pricey. I think the company could be a little more competitive if the prices were lower. I'm happy though! Everything turned out perfectly and the company, and it's artists, are definitely reliable.

i chose my hair stylist Roshaundra through this company and she did a beautiful job on my hair, my moms hair and my four year old daughter. she was on time, professional, friendly, and she was there when i needed her even before the wedding. the trial session really helped me focus my vision for my hair.

First let me start by telling you a little bit about my needs: I was arranging a intimate wedding in DC from London,UK. This posed a few complications. First I was only going to be in DC for a week before my wedding and 4 months before my wedding. Needless to say having a trial 4 months before when my dress wasn't even in yet would have been pointless. After explaining all this to Barbara, she made it possible for me to have my trial and then have her for the wedding a week later. Next issue, we don't have a car in the city, and the trial is at her studio in Virginia, Barbara was so generous and kind to pick myself, my mother and my maid of honour up for us all to share the trial experience from the Metro stop. I had Barbara for make up and Ky for hair. Next to the details of the trial, we discussed colours of dresses and flowers, and then decided on a soft eye and dramatic red lip. Barbara's skill is amazing. Then Ky looked at the pictures of the hair styles I liked and came up with a perfect style. Both Barbara and Ky listened to what I wanted and the ideas that I had and taking all that in to consideration made sure that I had the perfect look. You know that feeling you get when you try on THE DRESS and know, well I had that after looking in the mirror at my wedding look. It's like they took the idea in my head and made it a reality! Bridal Artistry are a team second to none, and while I was lucky to have Barbara herself, I can tell that no one on her team wouldn't be there if they weren't up to her high standards. When there was a little hiccup with my powder and lipstick accidentally going back with Barbara in her case, she turn right around and again and dropped it off, not actually that I ended up needing it until 6 or so in the evening, (I had a morning ceremony and lunch reception) my face was flawless in all the picture and has garnered many compliments, the main one from my husband who was literally slack jawed for at least 90 seconds when he first saw me. Thank you Barbara and Ky for adding to my special day and making it even more amazing.

The first thing that attracted me to Bridal Artistry was their ability to do onsite hair and makeup. Sonia Kasbarian was our hair stylist and Shaune Hayes was our makeup artist, and they came onsite to Lansdowne Resort in Leesburg for us. Sonia did an amazing job on each of my 6 bridesmaids as well as myself. She requested a picture of what each girl wanted, and then did their hair with her own spin on the picture they showed. Each girl's hair turned out even better than the picture, and everyone was extremely happy with their hair! I can't say enough good things about Shaune - every single one of us looked amazing, thanks to her. We all gave her a vague idea of what we wanted and then she worked her magic. She was very sweet and personable, and every girl looked stunning. She made sure each girl was comfortable with her makeup, which was not an easy task for us - we girls who are used to wearing a lot of makeup every day, and one who had never worn any before. Both Sonia and Shaune arrived on time and finished on time, and we never felt like we were rushed through anything. I would absolutely recommend Bridal Artistry to anyone looking for onsite hair and makeup, especially Shaune and Sonia!

Barbara & Ky from Bridal Artistry were fabulous! Both were super friendly and professional in the lead up to the wedding and the big day itself. Both my mom and sister were thrilled with their make-up and Barbara did an excellent job! I hardly needed to touch my own make-up all day; it seemed to stay perfectly in place and the added extra of a lip gloss as part of the package was perfect! Since the wedding sooo many people commented on my hair! I had two hair trials with Ky prior to the big day and both times she was creative and 100% accommodating when I made suggestions. My mom has practically shown everyone in my home town back in England the pictures from the wedding day and I can't tell you how many have commented on my hair Ky!!! Thank you so much!!!

Wonderful experience! We worked with Barbara Hill (the owner- makeup) and Ky (hair) and they were incredible! I was scheduled for a practice a couple of months out and they did an amazing job and I was really looking forward to seeing how it all came together on the wedding day! We had a mix of the 5 bridesmaids, a cousin, myself, and my mother getting different things done. Everyone who had their hair done had ideas of what they wanted, Ky was able to do exactly that and everyone was thrilled that none of us had issues with hair falling out of place/etc the Entire night! Barbara did makeup for myself, mother, and a couple of the bridesmaids- and I have to say that I Have Never had such a fabulous makeup job! Everyone who didn't get theirs done mentioned later in the night if they had known how well it was going to turn out, that they would've done it too. They were extremely professional, easy to work with, on time, and did an amazing job. I would Highly recommend them to anyone for a special event!

After looking at a few places and talking with some salons I thought having someone come to my hotel to do my hair and makeup was out of the question but they were amazing. Barbara did an amazing job on my makeup and I loved that she gave me a compact and lipstick that were the same shades that she used. It made the whole day so much less stressful having them come to me. Norma did an amazing job with my hair and was very patient while we tried my hairpiece in a couple of different spots. All in all, AMAZING!!

My wedding party looked so elegant! Audrey did a wonderful job! I was worried she'd have trouble with my fair completion or overdoing the pretty-but-natural look I so much wanted, but she finessed it all, including great eye makeup. I also appreciated all the time she took during the practice session to make sure I was satisfied with everything. My bridesmaids and my mom were so happy with the result. I also appreciated that she came to our venue the day of, and we got compacts & lip glosses to do our own touch ups as the night wore on. Definitely a recommend!

Brie from the bridal artistry team did my hair and makeup. She is fantastic! My bridal party and mother were thrilled with their hair and makeup as well.

I am extremely picky about my hair and makeup. I actually have done the makeup for the girls at a few of my friends weddings, so I am very specific about what I like and am very good at doing makeup myself. I was very nervous about having someone else do my makeup because I am normally not happy with it when it is professional done and end up fixing it myself. Well, this was NOT the case with Pia from Bridal Artistry. At my trial, the makeup looked great, but was not 100% what I wanted. I followed up several times with her about what I wanted to have corrected for the wedding day and she MORE than delivered. I had SO many compliments and felt my absolute prettiest. Mandy did the hair for myself and my bridesmaids and we were all so happy with how it turned out. She works quickly and is very good at taking direction. She doesn't give your hair that overly-hairsprayed look, yet it stayed all night long (despite the rain and all). My bridesmaids all had up-do's, but I had my hair down with extensions and loose waves. It really did look amazing. You will definitely be happy if you go with Bridal Artistry!

Bridal Artistry is easy to work with and they have amazing makeup and hair stylists in their ranks. I was matched with Sonia and Dawn. Both were easy to work with, professional and excellent at what they do. I loved my hair and makeup on my wedding day and was so pleased with how it all turned out. Sonia did a great job on my bridal party's hair as well and was particularly sweet while doing my 90 year old grandmother's hair. Dawn did an awesome job in doing my makeup. She is a master at making your eyes look amazing- she made my baby blues pop and people take notice of my always been there long lashes. She was professional and easy to work with and I'm so glad she was able to do my makeup. I highly recommend both Sonia and Dawn should you be looking for someone to do your styling on your wedding day.

Great Experience with these ladies! They were easy going and really got my look during our trial which completely put me at ease for the big day. Ky had me bring pics of styles I liked, then combined pieces of each to really create a look of my own. Barbara also understood my style- simple, more natural... They showed up on our wedding day and were very efficient and friendly. I'd definitely recommend them. Also, going with a team of hair and make up really makes sense as at your trial, you can put the whole look together. Plus, they don't have minimum number of people who need to receive services in order to do your wedding. It's fabulous!

After a bad experience with another company, I contacted Bridal Artistry a few months before my wedding and luckily Barbara, the owner, was able to put together a team of beauty experts for me. Dawn, Stephanie, Pia, and Bree were absolutely wonderful. Everyone's hair and makeup looked great. So many wedding parties seem painted, but the Bridal Artistry team used makeup and hair to bring out and accentuate our natural features v. make us looked made up. I could not have been happier with their work and am so grateful that Barbara was able to put together such a talented team for my special day. I recommend Bridal Artistry to every bride in the DC area.

Jacinda from Bridal Artistry did my wedding day hair and she was great. I had to reschedule our consultation about 3 times and she was flexible with all my changes. When we finally had our consultation, we did it in her really nice home studio. I've been to some of the studios in people's houses and her was a serious step above the rest. Her at home studio was the prototype for what all at home hair studios should be; clean, well lit with natural light, feminine yet not too girly, professional, and quiet. We tried out about 4 hairstyles and they were all really great options. Jacinda took pictures and sent them all to me for me to ponder and review. It couldn't have been easier to work with her. My wedding day came and she and her partner got to me and all of my bridesmaids done on time. All of our hairstyles turned out phenomenal. We all had different styles and she was able to execute them all to perfection. I swear we all looked like royalty after Jacinda got through with us! Not only would I recommend using Jacinda and Bridal Artistry in the future, I plan to use her for my future formal events.

I used Bridal Artistry for my wedding hair and make-up and for the wedding party. Ky did my hair and Suzann did my make-up and I looked beautiful! They are excellent at their crafts. Additionally, they did an excellent job on the wedding party. I had no complaints about the quality of their services. The makeup and hair lasted all night and I am still using the lipstick I received for touch-ups. Suzanne found the most perfect shade for me:) Now to the bad part. I contacted Bridal Artistry and they were initially very responsive. I sent in the deposit and everything was set. A few weeks later I emailed Bridal Artistry to add another person to get hair and makeup done. No response. I figured they were busy and had passed the information on to Ky and Suzanne. That did not happen. However, Ky and Suzanne were able to accomodate me. Now, for the payment on the day of the wedding. I wrote a check out to Bridal Artistry for the remaining amount because that is who I made the deposit check out to. Found out the day of the wedding that I had to write checks out to Ky and Suzanne. This was annoying. I asked how it would be split after deducting the deposit and they both gave me a number. It didn't add up to me but I had half an hour before I needed to walk down the aisle so I just wrote the checks out. I got back from the honeymoon and found out that they overcharged me by $40. This is not a whole lot but considering how much I paid for the services it is very unprofessional. So would I recommend Bridal Artistry? Maybe. They did a great job but overcharging me is unacceptable.

I'm not a person who wears much makeup but wanted to wear it for the wedding. Barbara put me completely at ease during my trial and created a look that made me feel like the best version of myself. She also paired me with a hairstylist, Sonya, who was able to work with African American hair and give me a fabulous updo that stayed but wasn't stiff. The fact that they were able to come do my hair and makeup in my hotel room the day of the wedding was a huge help. They were pleasant and made all of the ladies in my wedding party look fantastic. I highly recommend them.

Barbara did my wedding makeup and Ky did my hair. Both did such a great job that I can't say enough good things about them. I loved my makeup and hair on my wedding day and received many compliments. It all started with the trial in which they each took their time to understand what I wanted and what I was comfortable with, as well as offering up their own ideas and opinions. I would use Bridal Artistry again in a heartbeat for any of my future hair/makeup needs.

Dawn from Bridal Artistry did an incredible job on my make up! I felt like a princess on my wedding day and a huge part of that was because of my make up. The make up felt natural and light and was still on me by the end of the night, even after sweating at the reception! If you are looking for a make up artists, Dawn Newsome from Bridal Artistry is the way to go!

Bridal Artsitry did a wonderful job with my hair and make-up on my big day as well as my two bridesmaids and mother! Barbara was our make-up artist and my face has never looked so good. We had a trial run to test out the colors and on the big day everything looked perfect and wento smoothly. Ky styled our hair and did an amazing job making everybody look top notch and so unique. She was very patient with me on my big day to get it perfect for a bride that didn't have a clear vision. It looked amazing! I never felt so beautiful, thanks to Barbara and Ky!

Barbara and Ky were absolutely awesome! I used them for my wedding hair and makeup and had them do hair and makeup for my entire bridal party. Everyone looked so beautiful and I was so happy with my hair and makeup. Thanks to them, I definitely felt beautiful on my special day. I completely changed my hair on the day of and Ky just rolled with it - my hair looked fab. My Mom has never had her make-up done, and she looked beautiful and loved what Barbara did. Both of them were super responsive throughout the whole process. It was easy to set up the trial and everytime I sent one of them a note with a question they responded right away. I also just really loved both of them :). It felt like they were just part of our group - it was like getting hair and makeup done by old friends. I recommend them 100% - I feel so lucky that I found them!

Barbara and Ky from Bridal Artistry were fantastic! They did an amazing job with my hair and makeup!!! My bridesmaids all looked stunning too! And both Barbara and Ky did an excellent job making me feel completely at ease on what can be a very emotional and sometimes stressful morning! Thank you Barbara and Ky!!!! I strongly recommend Bridal Artistry to all! They're great!

I absolutely loved working with Bridal Artistry for my wedding hair and makeup! Barbara (owner/makeup artist) and Ky (hair) were fantastic and so wonderful to work with! They completed hair and make up for three of my bridesmaids, my mom and stepmom all on site! Ky did my bridal hair and combined two pictures of my hair trial to create an absolutely beautiful up-do that I loved! And Barbara is a true artist with makeup. I was very picky and wanted a “natural” look as I do not usually wear much make up on a daily basis. Barbara was so patient with me and kept working on my trial until I was 100% happy. On our wedding day, I was so relaxed and calm and knew I was in good hands. Going with on-site services for hair and makeup was the best decision I made and it allowed for the morning to be so much calmer and we stayed on schedule! Everyone looked stunning and I was so extremely happy with how my hair and makeup turned out. I had never felt more beautiful than on my wedding day! I highly recommend Barbara and her talented team!

Barbara (owner/make-up) and Ky (hair) were utterly fantastic! I showed up for my trial completely clueless about what I wanted and with their expertise, experience and patience they shaped the look for my wedding day. I had pretty short hair at the time and when it had grown enough that I thought just maybe an up-do would be possible Ky was kind enough to do a second trial for my hair and she worked her magic again. On our wedding day I was relaxed and calm knowing that I was in the hands of such professionals. I was so happy with my decision to go with on-site services - having them come to us took so much stress out of the day and we made quite a party around them! They made me feel like a princess and when I look over our photos I know that they really made me look like one!
