Simply the very best. From initial communication to trial appointment where we figured out the right look, colors, and style, to the snapshots of walking down the aisle, Perry Warren was right there making everything about our wedding more beautiful.
Perry’s quiet command kept us moving along, but still enjoying every moment,--even through some unexpected challenges. He was able to accommodate a last minute addition of a family member’s hair and makeup with flexibility, kindness, and finesse. He knew our venue well, worked seamlessly with the team there, and made me look and feel great from start to finish.
As I write this, I am heading into the salon for my first haircut with Perry. If you are lucky enough to find Perry, look no further. He is the hair and makeup master you are looking for!
Perry is the best HMUA I have worked with, and I would work with him again! In fact, I'm hoping I have an event soon I can use him for.
I used him for both hair and makeup for my October wedding. I had my trial in August, and it went swimmingly! I explained my vision, and he did the rest! When I told people how well my trial went, and that I didn't want any changes for the day of, many were shocked! Apparently, trials usually go wrong! But that wasn't the case with Perry. The trial was the perfect opportunity to test out my vision and get to know Perry. For the day of, he went above and beyond. Not only was he able to squeeze in one of my friends (who originally wasn't going to get makeup done, just hair), we still had time to spare! Perry and Ally did hair and makeup for 6 and makeup for 2 quickly and efficiently. I was shocked at how fast they worked, compared to other times I've been professionally done up. Additionally, Perry traveled to the venue with us and did my final touches (final blend, lipstick, and finalized hair - I had a tiara), he also helped steam my dress, help me into the dress (vintage dress with 20+ buttons on the back), AND held my train (6 foot cathedral train) while I waited to walk in with my dad!!! He was a lifesaver in that regard!! He is professional, yet kind and compassionate, and his calm attitude really helped me that morning, too.
So, if you're thinking of working with Perry, do it! Also, my friends and I have a range of melanin, and an artist that could work with POC was a priority when I was looking! Same with hair. We ranged from 1-3a, with Asian hair, too, and some pretty thick/dense white hair, as well. My 4c friend has a pixie cut and didn't need anything, but Perry was willing and ready to work with her as well if she had chosen! LGBT+ friendly, which I know many prioritize as well! Finally, his prices are fair for the area, and the fact he doesn't have a travel fee was a blessing. However, after working with him, additional costs would be well worth the money!!
Do yourself a favor - just go with Perry for your wedding hair and makeup. I reached out to Perry only just over a month before my wedding, panicked and stressed after a bad experience with another artist. I cancelled my previous contract to go with Perry -- and I am SO GLAD I DID because he is SO worth it! The 5 star reviews are all true and still fail to do him justice -- Perry is 100% a wedding guardian angel. When I reached out, he responded in minutes and we scheduled a trial. When he did my trial and I realized I wanted to make some tweaks to my hair, he asked me if I had time to stick around so I wouldn't have to leave without getting it perfect. On wedding day, he was the first person onsite, the first person to jump in to help where needed (he helped carry in several boxes of decor for me!), and doggedly dedicated to ensuring I looked perfect when I went down the aisle, to the point of tailing our limo to the church, re-curling my hair in the back room, and carrying my veil all the way to the door. Bonus points - he also took some beautiful pictures! He did a STUNNING job on my mom and bridesmaids, who all looked beautiful and could not stop raving about him, and I have never felt more beautiful in my life. Thank you so much Perry!!!
Any questions?
What CAN’T I say about Perry? He goes above and beyond in every aspect of the process to ensure you are always touched up right until you walk down the aisle. He was down for whatever the vibe of the room was, took pictures I didn’t realize I would need immediately after the wedding until he sent them, and helped create the most perfect day for me. He is truly dedicated to his craft and it shows in the love and care he puts into your special day. I absolutely recommend using Perry as your artist!!
Perry did hair and makeup for myself, my maid of honor, my mom, and her best friend for my wedding on 10/26/24. I think my mom picked Perry because he seemed flexible and reasonable (e.g., totally willing to come to us at my friend’s house without an insane upcharge). He went above and beyond in his service - per my request, he made me look “so beautiful” but “still like me”. He was efficient, easy going, and went the extra mile following us to the venue for touch ups and to get my veil situated and… one other small detail… help my MOH get my dress on!! Working with Perry was the perfect start to the perfect day. Highly recommend :)
Perry was absolutely amazing to work with! From my trial run to the day of the wedding, he was great at communication and made sure everyone looked perfect before walking down the aisle. 20/10, I would absolutely recommend him for your makeup needs.
Perry was absolutely wonderful for my wedding! I hired Perry to do makeup for myself (bride), seven bridesmaids, and my mom. Perry did beautiful work the day of, but also offered lots of advice and support leading up to the big day. He did everyone's makeup in ~5 hours including touch ups, then went to my venue with us and stayed until I walked down the aisle to assist with any additional touch ups or bridal party emergencies. He was friendly and supportive, and definitely made me confident for my big day! I highly recommend Perry to do your makeup for your wedding!
There is a reason Perry has nothing but five-star reviews. I am not typically one to leave reviews but Perry went above and beyond. I am simply blown away by the service I received and would give six stars if I could! From the beginning, Perry was incredibly communicative and quick to respond. Not only are his prices incredibly fair, you get what you paid for and then some. I got married last week and Perry stayed with me right up until I walked down the aisle, doing touch-ups and making sure my hair and veil were in perfect condition all through the first look, family pictures and getting ready to go for the ceremony. He even touched up my bridesmaids (whether they were getting hair and makeup with him or not). He went above and beyond the call of duty and I have no doubt that other vendors would not have done the same. I could tell it was just really important to him that everyone looked and felt their best on my wedding day. In addition, Perry took some amazing pictures, which he shared with me the day after the wedding. I was amazed at how good they looked - he just has an eye for these things. It was seriously top-tier service and beyond everything I could have hoped for. Not to mention, Perry has such a wonderful calming energy that is a pleasure to be around on your wedding day. When I had to deal with a last-minute wedding issue while getting ready, Perry let me do my thing and adapted timings on his end. I didn't feel rushed at all. I could tell he just wanted what was best for me and my bridal party. Perry also brought his colleague Ally to help with hair for the bridesmaids. She was equally lovely and had great energy. In the end, my bridesmaids and I all wound up looking exactly like we wanted, with looks that lasted through to the wedding after-party, and felt calm throughout the whole wedding and getting ready experience. People kept telling me how beautiful I looked (part of that is probably because I was the bride, but I know it was also because Perry did a fantastic job). I will not be looking elsewhere for hair and makeup for any other events I might have. Seriously, book this man. Not doing so would be a big mistake!
Perry was a pleasure to work with and created stunning looks for me and all my bridesmaids as well as my mom and my mother in law.
We had so many people to do in such a short time and Perry made everyone feel and look beautiful and happy. The hair trial experience was also very special and made me feel extremely confident in the look we were going for. I was so thankful for his presence and abilities.
Perry is just hands down wonderful! He’s incredibly gifted in his art. He listened to exactly what I wanted to pull off for my wedding look and gave me advice for hair extensions, lashes, skin preparation, and hair preparation. He made modifications from trial and helped me find inspiration ideas to refine my ideas.
But even more importantly on my wedding day, Perry helped me in my dress, showed my best lady how to bustle my dress, stayed with me after first looks for touch ups, took pictures during the whole process and gave me such a sense of confidence and calm. Perry sent me my first text the next morning with the pictures he took.
Do not hesitate booking Perry for your wedding. He made my mom and me look beautiful and feel beautiful.
Thank you Perry!
Perry did an absolutely amazing job. He went above and beyond. He makes you feel like a bride right off the bat, asking what my drink of choice was and having a glass for me to enjoy during my trial! After my trial I got nervous when I noticed some areas where my makeup hadn't lasted .... I messaged him showing him photos and within minutes he texted back explaining exactly what happened, and exactly how he would change my makeup to fix it the day of. My wedding makeup stayed put all day and all night!
He was a blast to have around; he did hair and makeup for 4 of us without breaking a sweat, and then volunteered to help with the flower girls hair... And when my 5 year old niece showed up with a huge black eye from the jungle gym the week before, he happily covered it up. Flawlessly. He followed us to the venue and stayed for touchups through the first look... When the flower girls would get restless during photos he jumped in and "touched up their makeup"... They felt like princesses and immediately turned into models 😆 because of Perry they felt beautiful and confident and strutted down the aisle! Perry stuck around to teach my MOH how to safely remove my veil and put it back in for sunset photos and literally fluffed my dress and veil as a I started down the aisle.
Thank you Perry!!!
I felt great knowing we were all being taken such great care of.
I was the mother of the bride and hadn’t had much experience with having someone do both my hair and my make up. But Perry put me right at ease, I loved his personality, and his approach. And the result was exactly what I would’ve wanted.
Perry was amazing and went above and beyond. He really listened to what I wanted and worked with me to create the look I was going for. He made the day of getting ready fun and productive and even helped out when I was clueless taking pictures. Generally I’m pretty critical but I can’t say enough positive things about the experience! More than 5 stars!
Perry was fantastic to work with! He showed up on time and was extremely thorough the morning of my wedding. He listened to my vision for what I wanted my hair/makeup to look like and really brought it to life. He not only did a great job with my hair/makeup, but he helped me walk around in my dress during my bridal party photos and even came to the church to give any final touch-ups before I walked down the aisle. He even fluffed my dress right before I walked toward my husband! He was kind, attentive, and clearly knew what he was doing. My family and I were all very impressed with him and would HIGHLY recommend anyone else hire him in the future for his services!
He also did my mom's hair and makeup and she looked lovely. She and I both looked like ourselves but just a glammed-up version, which is what we were going for. We didn't want to look too dramatic, just elegant and elevated. Perry accomplished this beautifully.
Perry was amazing to work with! He showed up on time and ready to get to work. He was so patient with me and really did such an amazing job, from matching foundation to my skin tone to beautiful eye shadow. He had such a great energy about him and I’m so happy he was able to be a part of my big day!
Perry did my hair/makeup and my bridal party's hair/makeup for my wedding and he was FANTASTIC! He was the most perfect presence on my wedding morning. He made the environment fun and relaxed while being extremely professional. Everyone looked and felt beautiful. He stayed until the very end of our getting ready time, ensuring we all had what we needed. Everyone was raving about how wonderful he was. I highly, highly recommend Perry!
I heard about Perry through my sister Melissa and I couldn’t have asked for someone better for my wedding day!!
Perry was extremely organized and professional. Not only did he do EXACTLY what i asked for but he even went above and beyond and helped me carry my train through the church. He was with me until the moment I walked down the aisle.
I 10/10 recommend Perry for your wedding!!!
I found Perry through an internet search and was floored by his rave reviews, and knew he would be perfect to do hair & makeup for my wedding. He is super communicative over text and email, always following up on details and checking in to see how things were going. He provided 5 hair and 3 makeup services on my wedding day, showed up early, and was done ahead of schedule! Everyone loved conversing with him and he definitely exudes a calming presence, which was much appreciated. As we got closer to my ceremony time, I started to develop a bit of a heat rash, and Perry swooped in to apply a topical remedy and was with me until the last minute before walking down the aisle. All of our hair and makeup looked incredible and stayed looking that way through the night. If I ever have a need to get dolled up again, I’m going to Perry!
Everyone should hire Perry for their wedding day! My entire wedding party felt beautiful, and we loved having Perry be part of our morning. His hair and makeup perfectly suited the romantic springy vibe I was going for, and lasted all day even though we were taking photos out in the rain. When a bridesmaid said she wanted her hair down because she doesn't usually wear it up, he compromised and gave her a half up/half down hair style that she was THRILLED with. In her words "he knew what I wanted better than I did." He truly goes above and beyond, and stays until you're ready to go down the aisle. He doesn't just finish his job and leave. He stood by my side holding an umbrella in one hand and battery powered curling iron in the other as we took all of our pre-ceremony photos in the rain. He then gave me one last sprucing up before I walked down the aisle. When I originally couldn't pick a lip color, he asked me to show him my three favorites and he used all three to make his own lip color. Hire Perry if you want to feel like the most important and beautiful person on your wedding day!
I cannot say enough good about Perry!! He was super responsive and sooo easy to work with! He did a run through a few weeks before to be sure we were on the same page, and easily pivoted with last minute changes. He showed up at 5am on wedding day to be sure all 9 of us were gorgeous for an 11 am wedding. He followed us through the ceremony to be sure everything was perfect. If you’re looking for someone who does excellent work, is super creative, knowledgeable & so very helpful, Perry Warren is your man. Thanks again Perry for making my daughter’s wedding perfect 💕
Perry is the calm in the eye of the storm of your wedding day. He is kind, genuine, full of wonderful stories and experience, and thinks on his feet. For anyone who has anxiety, or is more introverted, he is who you want to work with. He truly played such a big part in my wedding day.
From my hair and makeup trials to the day of, I felt heard, taken care of, and calm in his presence. I chose to get ready with just him and my photographer the morning of and it was one of the best decisions I could have made. Not only did he do my hair and make up, but he helped me with my dress and veil, my jewelry and bouquet, and was the best photographer's assistant.
At the venue before the ceremony, he was touching up my hair and make up, helping to ease any pre-wedding jitters, and doing mini reconnaissance missions to give feedback about where the wedding party was at any given moment. He is an absolute gem.
He went above and beyond and helped carry my train down a big set of stairs to get to the aisle. All of these touches meant the world to me, and helped to make my day run smoothly, and allowed me to focus on the important things.
Not only is Perry an invaluable asset to your wedding experience, but he is a great person. I hope to work with him again for future beauty endeavors, and he is now my go-to referral for all my friends.
Thank you again, Perry!
We hired Perry for my daughter's wedding from a friend's recommendation. I am SO GLAD we did! Perry and his assistant were at the club at 7 am. We had 9 girls that needed hair and make up and a short window to get it done. They got everyone done with time to spare. ALL the girls looked beautiful and got what they wanted. Perry and his assistant were fun to work with as well and helped alleviate a lot of the stress of the day. I would hire and recommend Perry again without hesitation. You will be extremely happy with hiring Perry.
Perry and his team were absolutely amazing!! The trail tutorial provided me a sense of what to expect and I was able to change out the hair piece before the wedding. Perry traveled to the hotel and was extremely on prompt. We had a specific timeframe to get ready in (9am-12pm) and he completed 8 girls included myself with another hair stylist. I would give Perry 100 stars if I could, and I highly recommend.
Perry was a great choice for hair and makeup for my wedding. I found him via word of mouth from a friend, started seeing him for haircuts up to my wedding, and had him and assistant do bride and bridesmaid makeup and hair on my wedding! He was awesome, gave everyone exactly what they wanted, and even stayed around during my first look photos to help with my dress and make sure I looked my best (even took some sneak peek photos he sent to me the next day!). Perry was a great choice, I know I relied on the knot to find vendors that I didn't know, so hopefully this will help you choose Perry for your wedding!
Perry has an exceptional demeanor that allows him to customize each individual. He truly cares about his clients and assures they get exactly what they want. He stays in constant communication before and follows up after. He made our special day beautiful, natural and easy. His make up and hair skills go beyond exceptional!!!
Perry was an absolute delight. We were luckily able to get a last minute appointment with him to do all the bridesmaids’ hair and everyone fell in love with Perry’s work. He even stayed longer to help the bride with photographs. Highly highly HIGHLY recommend him if you’re looking for someone who shows genuine care and love for their work.
Perry Warren was hired to do the bridal party makeup and the bride’s hair at our wedding and we would highly recommend him. Perry took into consideration the wants and desires for hair and makeup and executed these ideas perfectly. Prior to the wedding, Perry was very communicative and provided excellent instructions to prepare for the day. Throughout the morning Perry and his assistant, Ally, were fun to hang out with and super efficient. Perry was present for pre-wedding photos and assisted with any needed touchups or fixes prior to the wedding. He was patient and would quickly fix any minor issue he saw. Additionally, Perry took photos throughout the pre-wedding period and shared those on the following day so that we would have photos the next day, which is incredibly kind of him and appreciated. Perry stayed with the bride up until she walked down the aisle, ready to help as needed. Perry was great to work with and helped make the day so much easier and memorable. We would highly recommend him.
Working with Perry was a gift! He did hair and make up for me, my sister, my mother, and my elderly grandmother. He is a consummate professional and a wonderful person. He put everyone at ease and even helped the photographer out. I have never felt so beautiful in my life and I can thank Perry for that. I am beyond grateful he was part of our special day, and I encourage everyone reading this to choose him. You will never regret it!
I cannot say enough good things about Perry! He is one of the best people you can book for your wedding! He is so talented but he also goes above and beyond for his clients. Not only is he excellent with hair and makeup to ensure you are STUNNING on your wedding day, he is also so knowledgeable and such a wealth of information as you're leading up to your day. You need something? Perry's got ya! Perry is so kind, personable, and fun! Thank you, Perry for everything and ensuring my day was perfect!
Perry was great to work with. I did a hair and makeup trial with him and had some adjustments from that (making sure the curls didn't fall out and my hair style didn't fall out on the actual day). He made the adjustments on my actual wedding day without me reminding him and everything was perfect. I got a ton of compliments on my hair and makeup. His prices are very reasonable, I would recommend. I also was looking for someone who was familiar with a range of skin tones (i.e. not just white) and Perry matched my skin tone perfectly.
There is so much I can say about Perry!! He was absolutely amazing from first communication through wedding day. Perry was extremely detailed in every aspect of working with him. We had a hair and makeup trial and he listed to what my preferences were and I loved what he came up with.
On wedding day, Perry came to my hotel to get me and my bridesmaids (and mom!) ready for the big day. Everyone looked beautiful and I received so many compliments day of. Perry even made the effort to go from the hotel to the venue for additional touches and really made a point to be SO incredibly helpful.
I cannot rave enough about how happy I was with everything that Perry did. Thank you, Perry!!!
I needed a top quality hair and makeup artist within a month for an elopement and by chance I’ve come across Perry. And thank goodness for that. Friendly, communicative, funny, professional, and with lots of useful tips; he was on time at 6:30am, calm as a cucumber, not only doing his actual job but also helping with anything and everything. The best start to a gorgeous day. And my hair looked beautiful and incredibly felt good too even the day after because of the quality products used. Thank you!
I got my hair done with 2 other bridesmaids for our friend’s wedding this past weekend and we were super happy and impressed with how our hair turned out! Perry did an amazing job and he made us feel so cared for and paid special attention to each one of us to ensure there were no strands popping out and our updos stayed in place for the entire day (from 8 am until midnight, and longer if I didn’t take out the bobby pins before bed). I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Perry. Not only is he a very sweet person but he’s professional and clearly knows what he’s doing!!
Perry was a joy to work with and a true master of his craft! He did the hair for my wedding and created beautiful styles for my two sisters and me that lasted through hours of dancing! He is personable, easy to work with and a calming influence. My sisters have already said, if they get married, they know who to contact for their hair. If you are looking for a true professional, who is fun to chat with and really wants to bring your vision to life, look no further!
What can I not say about Perry, he is amazing! He was flexible throughout our entire process. We added another person for hair and makeup services at the last minute, and Perry drove to two different locations to ensure that we were all ready on time for the ceremony. His professionalism and years of experience with brides shines through when you work with him. On the day of the wedding, he stayed with me until I walked down the aisle and not only helped with my hair and makeup, but made sure that my dress was perfect, my shoes etc. It was extremely windy that day, but I am happy to report that even by the end of the night my hair and makeup were both still in impeccable condition. He is great at what he does, and I would book with him again in a heart beat!
Do not hesitate to hire Perry for wedding hair and makeup. He was the ultimate MVP from the day I emailed him for information. Perry is a champion communicator - he responded to all my inquires very quickly. His prices are EXTREMELY reasonable and competitive for the DMV area - you get way more than you pay for with Perry! To say he goes above and beyond is an understatement. He is a true artist with hair and makeup and has a laid back, professional yet humorous personality.
Just hire him. He is everything you need on your biggest day!
Perry was a DREAM to work with. Very responsive and helpful with keeping me on schedule in the planning days and ABOVE AND BEYOND on the big day!
Perry styled my hair perfectly as well as all of my bridesmaids and mom. He was a soothing presence in light of the wedding day jitters and assisted with so much more than just styling - positioning for photos while getting ready, an extra set of hands for all the moving parts, etc.
I even had Perry do a second look for my reception with limited time in a bathroom and he rolled with the punches. The second look ended up being my favorite and everyone was raving! Book Perry!
My wife and I absolutely loved working with Perry! My wife and I had a very small family only winter wedding, but we still wanted to hire a professional to do our hair and makeup because we are both a bit tomboyish and have no idea how to do it ourselves! Perry was wonderful to work with and made us feel very comfortable since we were nervous about being so glammed up! We would absolutely work with Perry again!
I’m sure you’re reading all these reviews wondering “how could he possibly be this great?” But he really is! I hadn’t seen all of these reviews because I was referred by a friend so I had no idea when I booked Perry that he would literally be with me from the moment I woke up until I walked down the aisle. But he showed up bright and early at my hotel and was there holding the door as my dad and I stepped out into the ceremony. He took such great care of me and my friends and family - following us around with his cordless curling iron to wrangle any loose hairs and even fixing a friend’s broken pair of glasses. He is calm, funny, and just the right amount of snarky 😎 The perfect combination. He’s exactly who you need to have around you on the most important and chaotic day of your life! And definitely take advantage of the hair and makeup trial he offers to test out what you want to do ahead of time. Can’t wait for one of my friends to get married so we can hang out with him again!
Perry’s hair and makeup services were exceptional, turning our vision into a stunning reality! The talented artists showcased their expertise with precision and creativity, enhancing natural beauty while ensuring a flawless, long-lasting look. The team’s professionalism and friendly demeanor created a relaxed atmosphere on a day filled with excitement. Even before our big day keeping in contact with Perry was super easy! Perry was always fast about replying and so flexible! We received numerous compliments on our hair and makeup, and the flawless finish lasted throughout the celebration. Perry was by my side while taking professional pictures up to the point I was walking down the aisle ensuring both my hair and makeup was exactly the way I wanted. The touch ups were much appreciated right before the ceremony and I felt the support all throughout the day! I am grateful for the outstanding service that contributed to making our wedding day even more memorable. Highly recommended for bridal beauty needs!
My partner and I had our hair and makeup done for a styled photoshoot by Perry. It was an amazing experience. Perry came prepared with not only all the hair and makeup gear to do the job but also a huge bag of earrings for us to choose from to elevate our look. Not to mention a tampon which I needed and didn’t have ha ha! That’s my kinda man!
His work was stunning and we felt beautiful. He towed around for touch ups as the shoot when tin to make sure not a hair was out of place. Even sporting a very impressive wireless curling iron!
All great things to say about Perry
Perry was absolutely wonderful to work with from the first moment we spoke. He was so wonderful with me and my bridal party on my wedding day. We all looked beautiful and he is just THE BEST!
Perry was a rockstar to work with. He understood exactly what I wanted and delivered with perfection. He was professional, friendly and fun! He went above and beyond, also helping me into my dress and shoes. He made me feel beautiful on my wedding day with his hair and makeup talent, for this he holds a special place in my heart. I am forever grateful!
Perry lives up to the hype of the reviews on here! He is so helpful, SUCH a professional, does an incredible job, such a calming person to have with you on your wedding day, and a great price! He is SO generous with his time and a breath of fresh air in this crazy industry! He goes above and beyond and simply knows what he's doing - exactly who you'd want for this type of role on your wedding day.
I had my hair/makeup trial and loved my look - so classic and timeless. I also got my hair cut by him a couple weeks before the wedding. He also helped me with my extensions, which was so easy! He's an amazing communicator and made the day SO smooth. We had 7 people getting their hair and make up done, so he brought someone else to help (she was also great!). Even though we ordered him food, I don't think he ate from 8am (when he arrived at my apartment) until 5pm when he held my veil literally until I walked down the aisle! Then he disappeared like my fairy godmother :)
He attached all the men's boutonnieres, fixed and sprayed my husband's hair, did touchups at the venue (no extra cost!), was with me for photos, gifted me hair accessories that were PERFECT (I thought I didn't want any, but a little sparkle really added to it). All I can say is: stop researching - he is a pro, simply the best, and with extremely reasonable pricing. He did my gen-Z sister's HAMU as well as both my 65 year old mom and my mother-in-law, and everyone in between. Every single person was so happy with how they looked. Couldn't recommend more!! I plan to keep getting my hair cut by him now as well :)
I cannot speak highly enough about Perry. I have never seen a makeup and hair artist go above and beyond the way he did. He stayed longer than I expected and continuously touched up my makeup and hair. As someone who doesnt normally wear much makeup or do my hair often, he was able to do everything perfectly even though I didnt know what I wanted. Thank you so much, Perry!!
Perry was wonderful and we were extremely happy with his service! The day of my sons wedding not only did he make us feel beautiful and look stunning he saved the day when we lost the boutonnière pins for the wedding party. He took out a box of pins and went around helping the wedding party. I was also impressed with how he stayed until the ceremony started making sure after pictures on a windy day that he was there for touch ups when we came back inside. We were all happy to have Perry that day to help make the day so special. I highly recommend Perry for anyone’s special day. Thank you Perry!
Perry was incredible to work with! He did a fantastic job on my hair and makeup for my wedding and did a fantastic job on the entire bridal party as well! Not only does Perry exude expertise in hair and makeup he was helpful with other wedding tips and was fun to be around. I would highly recommend using Perry’s services for your wedding! He is a gem!
Perry was very professional and attentive. He was able to do hair and makeup for myself, my mom and three bridesmaids within the given timeframe. He was super flexible about traveling from the hotel to the venue. And stayed at the venue for an extra hour during photos to make sure everyone’s hair and makeup held prior to the ceremony. Not only did everyone’s hair and makeup look great but, Perry went beyond his job description and was helping me with my dress (train) during photos. I would highly recommend hiring Perry for your wedding or any special event!
Perry was an absolute gem and so wonderful to work with. His communication is fantastic - frankly better than all my other wedding vendors combined. More than that, he is calm and helpful, and goes above and beyond. He stayed until we walked down the aisle, doing last minute touch ups on everyone (and I mean EVERYONE) and defused tenser situations with humor and grace. Literally cannot think of a single thing I would have wanted him to do differently. Like everybody else, I read the reviews and was convinced I had to hire Perry. The reviews do NOT lie. Easiest decision I ever made and it was one of the best. I looked and felt beautiful and like myself. I'm so happy I hired Perry! You won't regret it!
Perry and his partner are true artists, they did an amazing job!! We needed hair and makeup for 10 ladies, bridesmaids as well as moms, aunts and grandmothers. They maintained the timeline to photos seamlessly keeping the bridal suite atmosphere calm and relaxing. He also worked with my daughter and I prior prior to the wedding providing trials and detailed communication regarding day of needs that kept us organized and stress free. We hosted a large DC wedding that included shuttles to the monuments for photos and Perry stayed on to touch up the bride and her bridal party following this so that they were
Picture perfect for the ceremony. We would
Highly recommend him for your wedding needs!!
Perry was absolutely a dream. From beginning to end his kindness, professionalism, and talent put both my mother and my own mind at ease. He was so patient with me as I was incredibly indecisive about my hair and scheduled me multiple trial appointments to practice various styles. I was feeling so insecure about how I would look that day with a recent nose fracture but he helped me look and feel beautiful. The team on wedding day was absolutely incredible and there was such a fun light vibe in our bridal suite. The entire bridal party looked stunning. On top of that, with no extra cost, Perry stayed in the suite while I did first look photos for several hours in order to “refresh my look” before the ceremony. My mother and I both consider him a friend now and I will be using him for all of my hair needs in the future.
Married July 29th 2023 - An absolutely magical day from start to finish!
Perry was an incredible member of my wedding day team. From our early start at 5:30 AM to my second ceremony at 4:30 PM (yes, we had 2 ceremonies), Perry was by my side for touch ups, veil application, train fluffing, and moral support. I had 3 Bridesmaids doing makeup only and 3 ladies doing full hair and makeup. Perry installed false lashes on us all and kept all of us looking top notch. I have been in the industry for 8 years as a planner, and I knew from day 1 that I wanted Perry on my vendor team. Great communication, creativity, and pricing! Perry - thank you so much for making my special day everything I envisioned! You are truly a fantastic artist, and I hope to work with you soon!
Perry did all of the hair and make-up for my wedding last October. This included myself, my ten bridesmaids, my mother and mother in law. He did such an amazing job making every single one of us look amazing and listened to the styles and looks each of us wanted! He created such a stress free and fun environment when all of us were getting ready! He had all of us done in plenty of time so no one was rushing or stressed to get down the aisle or get photos taken! He stayed with me and all my bridesmaids through the ceremony and was constantly touching us up to make sure we always looked our best! It rained on my wedding day and Perry followed me around with a towel to make sure I didn’t look wet in any of my photos! He truly goes above and beyond for his brides and I cannot recommend him enough!!
Perry is not only the perfect hair and makeup artist for your special day, but an absolute joy and calming presence to be around! As a nervous bride, he not only made me look the most beautiful I've ever felt in my life - he helped me keep my (insert explicative, lol) together literally & figuratively. Easy communication, attention to detail, and ready with both jokes and the little things (tape, pins, etc.) to get through the tiny mishaps of getting ready on your wedding day - he can do it all!
As a couple of brides, Perry smoothly scheduled makeup and hair for both my wife and I at our hotel, then kept us flawless through our photos at the venue. With only a few weeks notice, he also accommodated fitting in my mother's hair too! My wife has an undercut and Perry's styling was the right amount of cool and glam. My mom has thinning hair and Perry's work helped her feel good about herself and held up all night. For me, he perfectly wrapped an accessory through a bun with a swept-bang look that miraculously held up through a sweaty night of dancing - even into an after-party and wardrobe change.
I've never received so many compliments in my life. We were told over and over how stunning both our hair and makeup are. My partner, who is someone who rarely wears make-up, was so comfortable going full-face and even wore fake eyelashes after Perry's trial look. She felt natural and beautiful both in the trial and through our wedding day. Both of us had never worn fake eyelashes in our life, and he placed them with perfection and they lasted all night long.
I can't speak highly enough about Perry's work and our interactions with him. He was, by far, one of the best and most important parts of making our wedding day the dream we envisioned.
Perry did my hair and make-up for my wedding on July 1. I chose to forgo the trial sessions and I was very happy with the end results. Perry captured the look I was going for and took the time before our appointment on July 1 to guide me through various hair and make-up details as well as research a couple of products that I use for my skin and hair. Perry came to my place the morning of July 1, did his magic, helped me load the items into my car and followed me to the church since it was 10 minutes away to put my lip products on after I got into my dress. This was not something I was expecting and I was very appreciative for his help, care, and professionalism that day. I enjoyed working with Perry and he made the experience fun and put me at ease, esp on a day when there's a lot going on for the bride. Aside from his expertise and professionalism, Perry has an awesome personality and made me laugh. He's also very caring and I'm thankful that I made a new friend from this experience! I first learned about Perry from my friend Lisa since he did her hair and make-up for her wedding several years back. I was surprised that he remembered Lisa and a certain detail about her that I had forgotten about. Lisa raved about Perry, who also did her friend's wedding years earlier. Referrals are important, esp from close friends and if you're looking for the right hair and make-up person for your wedding or other kind of special event, look no further. From the moment I first talked to Perry over the phone late in the evening, I knew that my research for this type of service was over. I felt so comfortable from the get go. I will definitely refer Perry to other friends going forward. Perry is the BEST and I cannot thank him enough for such an amazing experience to work with him. If anyone has any questions about my experience with Perry, feel free to reach out.
Thank you Perry! It was a pleasure to work with you!
Love,
Nicole White
Everyone stop looking for you hair and makeup specialist because you just found it!! Perry is it. He was instrumental in my special day and I can't recommend him highly enough for anyone looking for a hair and makeup artist for any event. From the moment I contacted him to the day of the wedding, he was responsive and friendly. The trial was perfect and he is super knowledgeable and really listens to what you want and what you are going for. He was absolutely instrumental in making my wedding day a success. He and his assistant hair stylist Ali, came to our location and did work! They even did a little something with my 2 squirmy flower girls hair. Even when I made a last minute change-up the day of the wedding, he heard me and listened and executed flawlessly. Every single person who got their hair and/or makeup done was happy with their look, which I think we all know doesn't happen often. They were super efficient and got through 5 women's hair and makeup, 2 flower girls hair, and 2 women's hair so quickly but without sacrificing the look. Also, Perry came to the venue and touched us all up. He followed me through the first look and bridal/groom portraits, doing touch ups, fluffing my gown and taking pictures. He followed me to the aisle and made sure everything was perfect before I walk down the aisle. 100 out of 10 would recommend Perry for you big day.
I cannot even begin to describe how INCREDIBLE my experience was with Perry! I can honestly say that having Perry for hair and makeup was one of the best decisions I made for my wedding. He is super communicative and really listens to what your vision is. He has years of experience and can really do anything-it’s incredible. He is also such a calm and steady presence, which is exactly what I wanted on my wedding morning.
He not only got me ready at the house, but also came to photos to do touch ups, was there at the church for anything I need last minute. He was even the one to fluff my dress before walking down the aisle.
Perry is AMAZING! I could never sing his praises enough!
What an AMAZING PERSON. I hired Perry to do my bridesmaid's and I's makeup for my wedding recently. Not only was he super knowledgeable he made my friends look like even bigger smokeshows. He made me feel and look so pretty on my special day! He's laid back and goes with the flow--pleasure to chat with, has a plethora of knowledge pretty much about anything.
Oh!! Can I also mention after working his magic he took the wrinkles out of my bridesmaids dresses! To follow that he saw my MOH may have had too many mimosas and picked up her slack and carried my train- made sure I was looking my best during photos.... I can go on forever how he went above and beyond the call of doing makeup.
THANK YOU Perry!! 💕
Perry was such a great and professional person to work with. He was flexible with a last minute change for my hair and makeup trial and very receptive to small tweaks to the proposed look. On the days leading up to the wedding, he was very communicative on the needs for set up to make sure that everything was 100% ready for the morning of. On the day of, he gave me a 5am wakeup text, showed up early, and worked very quickly for my entire party of bridesmaids and family guests. All of his looks were elegant and not overly made up. Would highly recommend to anyone!
Perry stepped in about a month before my wedding and saved the day after a disastrous trial with another artist. He is amazing to work with, and was able to create beautiful, elegant styles for myself, my bridesmaids, my mother, and my mother-in-law - all by himself no less because he didn't have a second person available that day. He went above and beyond, and even gave me a trim the week before my wedding to ensure my hair style looked flawless on the day of. Thank you so much Perry! I would recommend him again and again!
Oh my gosh, Perry is WAY more than a hair and makeup stylist, he provides emotional support and even physical support, comic relief, troubleshooting of all kinds and so much more. After a rough morning he helped iron out tension in my neck and took on the role of an old friend to lift my spirits. He helped the groomsmen fold their pocket patches, accompanied me during photos to fix help do touch ups, kept me company while waiting for ceremony to begin and even helped my dad down aisle so he wouldn’t loose his balance on the steps - nearly brought tears to my eyes!
My hair and make up were perfect and glamorous and yet I still looked like myself without looking fake or overdone.
I had very nice experience with Perry and I am very gratefull to Perry's job.
He is fantastic specialist and nice person. Every step of his work was carried out with precision and care. He is a warm and friendly person. Work was done with passion and a genuine desire to make me (bride) feel special on my big day)
If you're in search of a stylist who can bring your wedding day vision to life while providing a stress-free and enjoyable experience, I wholeheartedly recommend Perrys services. You won't be disappointed.
When I started looking for hair and makeup I sought out a few main things: To look natural, someone who would be willing to travel to me at 6am on wedding day, and a seasoned professional in the industry who would provide fair and upfront pricing and responses.
Perry is the most responsive vendor I had; he immediately responded to my inquiry with his email and cell number. He asked me for pictures and provided ideas and feedback based on my photos. He asked me specific questions on who/what/where to make sure my expectations were in line with his services, and his pricing is inclusive of the hair/makeup trial. Once we switched to texting, he would check in with me regularly to schedule my trial run and make sure everything was on track for my wedding.
He came to my house at 6am (actually he was early), and he was an immediately calming presence around my high anxiety self and mother. He set everything up quickly, brought all the equipment he would need, including a towel to protect my parent’s dining room table, and even offered his makeup light to my bridesmaids as they were getting ready a few hours later. Perry stayed much longer than I expected, waiting for me to get into my dress so he could assist with the buttons, which was much appreciated.
I rarely wear a lot of makeup and was genuinely concerned that having hair and makeup for my big day would look overdone- I also wasn’t planning for my bridesmaids to be all done up- so I needed someone who would make me look special, but also very natural so it wasn’t crazy obvious that they didn’t have full hair and makeup done as well. Perry delivered beyond anything I could have imagined- I looked like a less puffy, less tired version of myself. I felt special but could still recognize the person in the mirror. When I finally saw my fiancé at the end of the aisle- he literally said “wow.”
I work in events, on the venue side, so I don’t always interact with the “behind the scenes” professionals, securing my own hair and makeup was the only vendor search I performed relatively blindly and scoured photos and reviews to find the right match- Perry was 100% it!
I highly recommend Perry for hair and makeup services! Perry worked their magic on me and my bridesmaids on my wedding day, and we were all thrilled with the results. From the moment we met Perry during the trial session, their professionalism and talent were evident.
Perry listened attentively to our preferences and effortlessly translated them into stunning looks that complemented each of our features and personalities. They expertly styled our hair, creating elegant updos and intricate braids that lasted throughout the entire celebration. Perry's makeup skills were equally impressive, as they flawlessly enhanced our natural beauty and made us feel like radiant princesses.
Not only did Perry demonstrate exceptional skill, but their calm and friendly demeanor also helped alleviate any pre-wedding jitters. They maintained a positive and relaxed atmosphere, making the entire getting-ready process enjoyable and stress-free. Perry's attention to detail and commitment to perfection were truly admirable.
Moreover, Perry's punctuality and efficiency ensured that we stayed on schedule. They arrived promptly and organized their equipment efficiently, allowing us to have ample time for touch-ups and final adjustments. Perry's professionalism and reliability made them an invaluable asset on such an important day.
Overall, I cannot speak highly enough of Perry's talent and professionalism. They exceeded our expectations in every way, creating beautiful and long-lasting hair and makeup looks that made us feel like the best versions of ourselves. If you're looking for a skilled and personable hairstylist and makeup artist, Perry is the one to choose. I am immensely grateful for their contribution to making my wedding day absolutely perfect.
Perry is simply amazing. He took care of my mom, bridesmaids and myself on my big day. He stayed until the very last minute, making sure everything was perfect, helping with my train, taking pictures of our getting ready session. Very professional and very thoughtful. The girls loved him too. We were all looking stunning, thanks to him and his crew. Would recommend Perry to any bride to be!!
Perry was absolutely amazing! We were all so impressed with his thoughtfulness and professionalism. If I were to have another wedding party, I would choose him again in a heartbeat. He truly is the BEST!!!
I decided to work with Perry based on the reviews that I read here. All that has been written is true. Perry was great to work with. He was always on time and prepared, was engaging with my family, had great conversation and was concerned, involved and shared his experiences with more than just the hair and makeup aspect of the wedding. I truly appreciated his energy and attention to detail and enjoyed having him in our Ready Room.
Perry is so much fun and great to work with! He is great at both hair and make-up too! He made me feel so comfortable in my skin on my big day, addressing any of my concerns. Other great things about Perry: he is personable, punctual, and a great communicator! He stayed with me until it was time for me to walk down the aisle doing touch-ups along the way. If you are looking for an Amazing make-up and hairstylist, look no further. You're in great hands with Perry!
I had a wonderful experience working with Perry. He is super talented and my mother and I looked absolutely stunning the day of the wedding. As the bride, I received so many compliments on my hair and makeup and it lasted the entire day – I was especially impressed with how beautiful Perry made my hair look with my head jewelry and veil which stayed on the whole time! I was very happy about how professional he was during the trial and the day of the wedding and worked with me on all the ideas. I very much appreciated how communicative he was throughout the process. Definitely would highly recommend for anyone looking for great results and a reliable make up and hair artist.
Perry is the best of the best! From my initial booking he was in regular contact with me regarding what I envisioned for my wedding day and how to make my hair and skin perfect. He recommended specific products that would best help my skin and he made me look flawless! Perry arrived at the hotel at 6:30AM and stayed to clean up after we left at 1:30PM! He refused to leave until me and the bridal party all left the hotel and made sure we looked perfect. He provided countless touch ups on hair and makeup after I cried multiple times and made sure not a hair or lash was out of place. He made all of us feel like princesses and I couldn't be more appreciative of Perry and his services! I would recommend him to anyone looking for flawless makeup and hair!
Perry is amazing!! He was able to accommodate my partner & me on short notice for our very small wedding ceremony. He was communicative, punctual, and professional, not to mention just a lovely person to have around on the morning of our wedding. His rates are reasonable, and the work he does is phenomenal. He made us feel so special & beautiful, and our hair and makeup stayed perfectly in place for the whole day! We really can’t thank him enough for fitting us into his schedule. Working with Perry was truly one of the best decisions we made about our wedding!
Perry is above and beyond a 5 star makeup artist. He made my day extra special by doing everything from answering random questions during the planning process, to holding my veil as I walked to get in line to walking down the aisle. His makeup and hair work is empowering and extraordinary. I encourage people to hire him for this reason but know that you are getting so much more. He is kind, thoughtful, and funny. He is exactly the kind of person you want when you are getting ready. He even played me my favorite song in the dressing room before I walked out because I was nervous. Amazing. Stop thinking about it and pick Perry.
Perry was amazing to work with and he went above and beyond on my wedding day! He made me incredibly comfortable throughout the process (I'm not a huge make up person) and I felt truly beautiful on my wedding day. Plus, I have friends and family still raving about my hair.
I cannot tell you how AMAZING Perry was on my big day. I got married on September 30th in DC, when the remnants of hurricane Ian made it up the east coast. Perry did a fabulous job on my bridesmaids, and my Mother. He catered to everyones needs, and they were ecstatic with the way they looked. What he did for me though...OMG. Due to the hurricane we had plans change the day of, which included doing my first look in the rain. Perry stayed with me the whole time (longer than he was supposed to) to make sure my hair, make up and dress were touched up after every photo and video in the rain. I truly don't know what I would of done without him, and I will be forever grateful. Not only did he make me look beautiful, but did those extra things that helped ease my stress. Including blow drying my dress lol! Everyone needs a Perry on their big day <3
I decided to work with Perry after reading the GLOWING reviews here on The Knot and he was everything promised and more. Perry was a calming source of positive energy and truly went above and beyond to ensure that my sister, my mom, and I looked and felt amazing for my tiny wedding. Perry was in touch throughout the weeks leading up to my ceremony proactively asking questions to ensure everything went smoothly and how I envisioned. He let me lead but also gave great feedback and helpful suggestions that made my special day that much better. Run, don’t walk, to book with Perry for your next special event!!
We got married back in April. Being a male-male same-sex couple, we hadn’t even considered investing in day-of beauty services because… well, WHY, am I right? But in talking things over, we realized we weren’t right. Day-of beauty services shouldn’t just be for brides. This is our wedding day, and there are going to be pictures — pictures that would exist for decades and decades after the day had ended. We had already commissioned custom suits; why ignore our heads?
So it was settled. We looked on TheKnot and came across Perry’s information. He came highly decorated. We called and spoke with him, and he gave us a thorough description of the services he could offer us, as well as anyone else who wanted beauty services on the day of the wedding. He provided an incredibly reasonable estimate, and we didn’t even bother talking to anyone else. Perry was the one.
In the weeks leading up to the wedding, the groom who needed hair styling visited Perry at his salon location. Perry went over his ideas, did some mild coloring, styling, and cutting, and created a new look. It was a winner! The day of the wedding arrived. Perry came onsite early and did hair for one groom and skin work for both. Our faces looked bright and clean, and not a single strand of hair fell out of place. Oh, the compliments we received!!!
But I want to take a moment to talk about something else. We decided to surprise our moms with day-of beauty services. The mother of one of the grooms had recently beaten cancer, but it had taken a toll on her self-image. For almost a year, she disliked her appearance because of the changes that the treatments had caused. Perry took extra time to work with her to provide an effortless look that brought out the beauty she already possessed. He styled her wig and helped her to remember what it was like to feel beautiful. No other service Perry provided on our wedding day or has provided for us since could ever come close to the life-changing impact he made in that moment.
From some of the comments from friends on social media after the wedding, I learned that Perry Warren isn’t a man; he’s an institution. Many of my lady friends had also employed him for their own weddings. Perry is a local legend, and I can see why. His work is meticulous, but also caring. I’ve been going back to him for routine hair appointments ever since the wedding.
Thank you for everything, Perry. I’ll continue to look forward to our monthly sessions and receiving all the follicular love you have to offer!
Perry was absolutely amazing! Leading up to the wedding, Perry was great at communicating and making sure that I had all of the information I could need for the day of. Not only were his hair and makeup skills great, but his calming and patient presence was a much needed relief on my wedding morning. He was there on the morning of my wedding bright and early, and stayed until I was in my dress and photos were underway. I would recommend Perry to any bride!
Perry did such an amazing job on our Wedding hair & makeup! He made everyone feel super comfortable and our looks lasted the entire evening. He is such a personable stylist and takes the time to ask you questions! Like “What colors do you see?” to ensure he captured our desires when we shown him makeup photos we liked. You can’t go wrong hiring Perry! My wedding photos turned out beautifully. THANK YOU, PERRY!
Perry is absolutely amazing. My (now) husband and I decided to elope, but I still wanted to look and feel fabulous for our special day! Perry was able to accommodate me with only 2 weeks notice. He was able to arrange a hair and make-up trial for me, and traveled to my location on my wedding day. My hair and make-up exceeded my expectations, and held up better than anything I've ever had done before. I will absolutely use his services again in the future, and highly recommend to anyone!
