Aaron and BRIDEface were incredible to work with! I ended up needing to find a makeup artist 3 months before my wedding due to a poor previous experience and so glad I found Aaron!...
He made me feel so confident and comfortable and I was truly glowing! He achieved my look perfectly and the makeup was flawless all evening. Highly recommend!
I can’t recommend the team at BRIDEFace enough! Aaron, Jonye, and Lara were so enjoyable to work with. When trying to find a makeup stylist for my wedding, I was nervous because I ...
don’t typically wear makeup. I wanted someone who I felt comfortable working with and where I still felt like myself. After doing the trial session with Aaron, I felt confident that I made the right decision! The airbrush foundation makes it feel like you are barely wearing any makeup and the individual false lashes he uses look very natural. He and Jonye did such a great job on the day of enhancing everyone’s natural beauty.
It made it even easier when planning that I could work with the same studio for a hair stylist as well. Lara was able to take my vision and make it look even better than I could’ve imagined. I brought one of my bridesmaids with me to the trial; she has extremely curly hair and was initially planning on doing her own hair. After hearing how knowledgeable Lara was and seeing her other work with curly hair, she also decided to get her hair done by Lara! She was able to take everyone’s inspiration and bring it to life, everyone’s hair looked amazing.
The whole team was so fun and made the whole experience stress-free and enjoyable. Do yourself a favor and book them now, I will be recommending them to anyone in the Richmond area.
The dream HMU team! When I was deciding to choose hair stylists and makeup artists for our wedding, I wanted a team that could do both, and BRIDEface is just that! Aaron, Jonye, & ...
Leslie were so fun to work with and kept us ahead of schedule which made the morning calm and so much more enjoyable. The entire bridal party looked stunning! Our hair and makeup lasted all day and night, even through hours of dancing! Would highly recommend for future brides and bridal parties!
Aaron and Leslie are the wedding dream team! From the planning leading up to the event to the trial, to the day of, working with them was amazing. My bridesmaids all loved how thei...
r makeup and hair turned out. I didn’t know much of what I wanted for makeup and Aaron was able to take in information about my dress and decorations and put together a makeup look that pulled everything together. I couldn’t recommend working with Brideface enough and encourage any brides working with them to trust their expertise!
Leslie and Jonye at BrideFACE were amazing! I booked this company to do hair and makeup for myself (bride), the wedding party, and the mothers. I also did a hair and makeup trial w...
ith them, which was great, as I was able to test out the look ahead of time. Despite having quite a few people, all with different looks and questions, they were both quick and steady with their work, ensuring everyone was in and out of the chairs on schedule.
The last hair and makeup was finished around 1, the party went until midnight, and despite rain, humidity, dancing, and more, everyone still looked amazing at the end of the night. The airbrushed makeup was incredibly light and the ability to do individual lashes was also a plus - we really appreciated the attention to detail and perks of working with this vendor.
Leslie and Jonye were also so easy and fun to talk to, we really appreciated their personalities and the light they brought to the day. I highly recommend their services!

etween all of the artists was excellent. We started on such a high note the morning of the wedding with fu and lighthearted conversations. Aaron and Jonye are truly phenomenal with makeup and Leslie is a wizard when it comes to hair. I would 100% recommend their team to anyone and everyone!

was very happy with how it turned out! Everyone looked so beautiful and comfortable and like themselves! We all got compliments all night, of course!
And it was the loveliest, most relaxing wedding day I could ask for! Not only was their team so talented, but also so wonderful and fun to spend the day with!
Our stylists with BRIDEface were Aaron for makeup and Lara for hair, and they were both fantastic. They had a very efficient system in place to make sure we all got done in plenty ...
of time for pictures without feeling rushed. Aaron was so nice and funny and did a wonderful job bringing out everyone’s natural beauty in a way that felt and looked right for them, especially since I, most of my bridesmaids, and my husband’s groomslady don’t wear much makeup. We were all super impressed with how light our makeup and false lashes were, and how well it all stayed when we cried! Lara was just as amazing with our hair. We all had very different hair types, and she made all our hair behave exactly the way we wanted, even if it didn’t normally! One of my bridesmaids has very curly hair and was so happy Lara was able to work with it so well, since she’s usually been asked to straighten her hair in the past. We all felt and looked so beautiful, and I can’t recommend them highly enough!

es you the right push to get the best look. Leslie took one look at my dress and knew what hair I wanted before I even said it. I left the trial during a torrential thunderstorm and my hair and makeup still held for hours. The day of the wedding they were just as incredible and my bridal party was in awe of their efficiency! My hair and makeup lasted all night and I can say the same for all of my bridesmaids! BRIDEface is an incredible team and I would recommend them to everyone!

g an extremely easy. I had a large bridal party with 10+ people receiving hair and makeup services on the big day. The entire BRIDEface team was patient, friendly, and did an amazing job! Everyone in our party was very pleased. I also believe their services are priced very fairly. 10/10 recommend reaching out to this amazing team!

l the reviews and pictures. All my bridesmaids were so impressed with how good it looked, and how quick hair/makeup was compared to other weddings. Not only was it the best hair and makeup, but they were both so kind and funny - it made a huge difference on my wedding day.
Aaron and his team were amazing! Easy to work with and super fun!
Working with Adam and Lara were an absolute joy! I loved their energy and enthusiasm. They were very upfront about what they needed from me and what I could expect from them. The t...
rial session was one of my favorite parts of the wedding prep and having them on site simplified my day. My bridesmaids and grandma loved their work as well. They struck the perfect balance of being made up without looking over-done. They kept the day light and stress-free, their timing was impeccable, and when they were finished, I felt ready. It was such a relief to know I didn't need to figure out how to look myself when I could rest those worries in their capable hands

BRIDEface Richmond did hair and makeup for me and my bridesmaids for my August 2024 wedding. I would highly recommend. Aaron was easy to coordinate with, friendly, and had helpful ...
recommendations during the selection and booking process. Leslie did my hair and Jonye did my makeup and, oh my goodness, did they do such a wonderful job. At my trial run, Jonye worked with me to try a few different eyeshadows to find exactly the look I was going for, even though I didn’t have an exact picture to work with. I showed Leslie a few inspiration photos for hair but didn’t have a single design in mind, and she knocked it out of the park on the first go. Both were so fun to chat with, a pleasure to work with, and shared honest feedback, making sure that I was truly happy with my style before leaving the seat. I don’t wear a lot of makeup normally and was worried about looking makeup-y but I didn’t. Instead, my hair and makeup perfectly complimented me on my wedding day – it was still me, but the most beautiful version of me. Same for my bridesmaids. Thank you so much, BRIDEface Richmond for being part of our special day!
We had the best experience with Aaron and his team. Everyone was so professional, kind, and talented!! I would highly recommend having them be part of your special day!!!

yling and had great difficulty articulating/deciding the look I wanted or if it was even possible to create my vision. Aaron and Lara were both so patient with me at my bridal trial and were so receptive to any and all feedback I gave. Even when our timeline got a bit pushed back the morning of my wedding, they kept their cool and ensured everything went smoothly. Not only did they bring my vision to life, but after several full cries and dancing all night, my hair and makeup incredibly stayed in place! They truly make magic.
Simply, WOW! I cannot thank Aaron, Lara, Leslie and Jonye enough for getting everyone ready and looking beautiful! We had 8 people getting ready and they were efficient, profession...
al, and very skilled! They were also a joy to hangout with all morning! I was so impressed with Lara and Leslie for managing all hair types and giving clear instructions beforehand of how to prep your hair which was very helpful! Aaron and Jonye were amazing with working with different skin tones and textures! They used airbrush foundation and it was so lightweight, longwear, and photographed beautifully! I cannot recommend them enough! BRIDEface is a preferred vendor from my venue so it made the process so seamless with knowing what they needed and where to set up! Thank you to Aaron and his team for being a part of our special day!

y :) Seven of us got ready in my hotel room wedding morning, and Jonye and Leslie were right on time with everything we needed. The moms were worried their hair and makeup wouldn't stay, but I assured them they were wrong! Everyone looked incredible all night long (even through the 35mph wind gusts during my outdoor ceremony haha!) I can't recommend them highly enough! You will be in great hands!

ace does trial sessions and uses individual lash enhancements instead of 1 long set of lashes all the way across. For my wedding Aaron & Jonye did makeup for 8 bridesmaids, 1 mom, and me, and even with 10 people they finished ahead of schedule! They arrived right on time, got set up, and I didn't have to worry about a thing on my big day. I absolutely recommend BRIDEface RVA!

ds said it was the best hair and makeup they had ever received for a special event. Leslie did all of the girl's hair and she is one of the most talented hairstylists I have ever met. Aaron made the booking process very easy for me and he is just a great person in general. I hope I get to use BRIDEface Richmond again in the future!

antastic at their craft. I had hair and make-up done for my 6 bridesmaids, mom, and sister-in-law. They made everyone feel and look absolutely stunning - including me of course!
They were accommodating when I needed to reschedule my trial and were efficient and quick in their process on wedding day. As a bonus the ladies are quite a pleasure! Trust me, you'll want them in your bridal suite too... they fit right in and just add to the fun. I couldn't have made a better choice than BRIDEface.
I hired BridefaceRVA and Leslie Long for my December wedding. She was the absolute most wonderful person to work with.
I contacted Brideface in June in a panic when realizing al...
most every hair/makeup vendor was booked or had outrageous requirements for a bridal party/services size. I had a small party (2 bridesmaids, MOB & MOG) for partial hair and makeup services for each. Aaron put me in contact with Leslie who immediately called me and walked me through what would be possible services with our amount of time.
Being an out of state bride I had to schedule my preview looks months ahead of time, and Leslie was extremely accommodating, setting up a trial in her home. She stayed in touch afterwards leading up to the wedding day about who needed what. She did a beautiful job on my makeup and hair during the trial.
Leslie was extremely flexible, and the fact that she could do hair & makeup services meant that she was a "one-man-band" for the day and EXACTLY what I was looking for given the few services my party needed.
On wedding day, when I second guessed my hair choice, Leslie talked through the options with me and made magic happen for my short hair I never thought would look good in an updo. She transformed my sister and mom with makeup to the best versions of themselves.
Leslie was cool, calm and collected, the absolute BEST person to have in my corner while everyone else was chaotic that morning. I am so thankful for her kindness and laughter. I will absolutely hire her again when I am in need of hair/makeup services in the RVA area.
Aaron and Lara did an awesome job. Not only are they both talented- they really listened to what each and every one of us wanted- whether that was more natural or more glam. Aaron ...
also did my rehearsal makeup which was a great experience and a nice way to ease into the wedding weekend. Would definitely recommend!
