Hair and Makeup Unveiled

was always so kind. My hair looked amazing, all my bridesmaids raved about her and my mom looked gorgeous. My mother in law has epilepsy and fell the day before causing her to have stitches in her head, Nicole was very aware of that and worked around it without causing her pain and made her hair look great. Some of my girls didn't pay for hair services and decided to do their own, Nicole ended up helping them and made sure everyone looked great. I can't rave enough, I am so happy I went with this company!

anted for my dress, since I'm not used to wearing strapless and she even let me come for a second trial to test out a new look. Everything she did was incredible and it gave me peace of mind to have someone so confident, myself being such an indecisive person. My hair looked fanatic, just what I wanted and lasted all night and everyone else LOVED their hair!!! She was so accommodating letting me come twice and even set it so that I could try one of her makeup artists. I was so impressed with Markie's makeup that I told my original artist that I hired a second person for the day, since more girls wanted makeup. Markie ended up doing my makeup and I felt like a movie star!!! The original artist (not associated with them) was such a diva that she responded by saying, she doesn't work with artists she doesn't know and cancelled a week before the wedding! I was freaking out, but they worked their magic and brought a second artist, Seth, who was also awesome! It really showed that they care about their brides by how they rescued me. My wedding party and the moms looked absolutely beautiful. Words only means so much, the proof is in the photos... so I hope they add them to their website. Thank you so much for making us gorgeous!!!!!

eel as a bride. The one even more impressive thing is that my hair did not move. There were hurricane force winds that day and I danced like crazy and it didn't fall out even a little bit. I would recommend her to anyone! I am a very happy and satisfied bride. It was perfect!

, bridesmaids, and I on the wedding day. Thank you Nicole, Kris, and Allison!

de) were overjoyed with the final hair dues on the wedding day! I can't say enough great things about Nicole.

ul Nicole was throughout the whole process. So glad I chose Hair and Makeup Unveiled. Amazing experience!

on time. Nicole is so talented at hair. I changed my look last minute and Nicole captured my vision completely. She even helped some of my bridesmaids out with their hair. She is talented and so kind! I recommend this company without hesitation.

bride and the eyelash extensions were awesome! I received many compliments on both makeup and hair and would highly recommend their services! They made me feel so at ease and taken care of, thank you Nicole, Gaby & especially Madeline!

very accommodating with last minute requests. I would absolutely recommend their services.

a fantastic job recreating a Pinterest picture I showed her and made me look and feel beautiful. It looked even better than I remembered at my trial! Her and her partner did an equally wonderful job on all of my bridesmaids hair styles! They also were a ton of fun and kept us laughing the whole morning of the wedding. On top of the fantastic service, Nicole went above and beyond and negotiated free vendor parking with the hotel we were staying at so that I did not have to pay for it. I highly recommend Hair and Makeup Unveiled!

d AMAZING! all of my ladies were so happy with their hair and the service she performed. Along with doing an amazing job on hair she has such a fun personality!! I would recommend her to any and everyone!

edding stress and nerves. I felt like I was in good and hand and everything was going to go perfectly (and it did!). Nicole even stepped up to the plate to fix my flower girl's hair after a rather unfortunate incident at a local hair salon. I highly recommend them to any bride!

you really are spending a lot of time with the people that do your hair/make up. Nicole also had so many great suggestions when I had a hard time coming up with ideas. Would highly recommend them!!

er girls assist with hair and makeup as well. I was so amazed with how well my hair turned out on my wedding day. I showed Nicole a photo of what I wanted and she went above and beyond to create the look. I received countless compliments on my hair from guests at the wedding. I also had a hair piece/pin that Nicole placed perfectly! My bridesmaids were also super happy with how their hair and makeup turned out! Not only are Nicole and Courtney very talented at what they do, but they are super fun to hang out with! My bridesmaids and I have such a fun time talking with them while we were getting our hair and makeup done. They were also very calming for an anxious bride like me. My mom and I did a lot of research to find hair and makeup unveiled and I’m so happy we found them!

someone in such a short time. Nicole responded right away and I absolutely loved her from the start. She is so accommodating and incredibly knowledgable. She knew exactly what I wanted and was able to do it with such ease! Aside from being incredibly talented, she is such a pleasure to have around during your day (even helping me with my veil!) Cannot say enough good things about her and her very professional company!

o didn't want to have to take everyone to a salon and then go to the venue and pay an arm and a leg for all the details. Once I met with Nicole and did a trial run (which I also wasn't going to do, but Nicole made it so affordable and easy to schedule), I felt a wave of relief sweep over me. Nicole was amazing! She is easy to talk to and makes it a fun experience to get your hair done during the day of your wedding. She also travels to you! We were able to just go to our venue the morning of and relax the whole day there. Nicole met us there and did all my bridesmaids and then my hair and it looked great! I can't say enough good things about her company and recommend her to anyone!

both hairstyles! Nicole and Courtney have a way of connecting with you and making the day fun, seamless and feeling CONFIDENT that your hair and makeup will be just as you hoped! I highly recommend using this service, you won't regret it!

wedding was at a somewhat remote Bed & Breakfast. I'm so glad we booked them! They were very responsive, flexible, and really respected what I wanted in terms of a hair style and makeup. They provided hair and makeup services for most of my bridesmaids, and everyone was so pleased. Even my bridesmaids who typically don't wear any makeup felt natural and beautiful. Ultimately, having them come to us took so much stress off of the wedding morning preparations, and I felt their prices were right on the mark. Here's where they hit it out of the park: The service!! On my wedding day, I had 11 ladies getting hair + makeup done, and the owner, Nicole, was flexible, adaptable, and actually had everyone done EARLY! Her team of 4 ladies worked flawlessly. My bridesmaids, mothers and myself all looked so beautiful, and I had many many complements. My hairstyle stayed in place all night -- through toasting, dancing, eating, everything! My makeup looked great, and the touch up kit they provided provided products for a makeup refresher to keep me looking amazing all night. I would book them again, without hesitation, and highly recommend them to anyone getting married in the Northern VA area!

e end of the night (too much fun?) they were both very responsive throughout the scheduling process, and all the family members who had services done were very happy with how everything turned out. While it was a bit of a trek to do the trials, thats more because i live in the city, if you're out in VA it would be much easier. Nicole was able to mimic a few pictures I'd brought and it looked great, and my makeup was light and natural. Nothing but nice things to say.

er I thought I needed something in my hair and she worked with me to find this fabulous flower. Courtney did my makeup and it was gorgeous, I got so many compliments on my hair and make up. If you want to feel like a princess you have to go with them. They are professional, do amazing work, and great to work with. The have the best prices in the NOVA area.

d do a fantastic job. I was SO pleased the day of the wedding- not only with their work but also with their flexibility and easy-going personalities! My hair was a bit intricate, and Nicole did an AMAZING job. They made me feel so relaxed and I just can't say enough how wonderful the experience was. (They even threw in a military discount for me!). HIGHLY recommend :)

hoice. Nicole is such a sweetheart and such a talented woman. 100% satisfied!!!!

I was introduced to Nicole who was AWESOME and super responsive, a great price, and who is amazing at hair! My maids and everyone loved her- so easy to work with and the pictures all look great!!! :)

've been in previous weddings where it took 6 hours just to do 6 people!

th so friendly and down to earth, and professional but not uptight. They each had an assistant for my wedding day (I feel so terrible I can't remember their names--they were awesome!), and all four of them were so much fun! We jammed to throwback party songs and laughed as if we'd always been friends, which was especially helpful to keep my mind off being nervous about my big day. My bridesmaids are all naturally beautiful, and they were able to make them up in a way that captured their individual beauty without having them appear overdone. They are all so knowledgeable, too; I think everyone said a version of "I don't know what I want; maybe (fill in the blank with some vague suggestion)" and all four of them were able to take the tiniest snippet of an idea for hair or makeup and run with it in gorgeous ways. Nicole stayed so she could personally put my veil on, and she made sure my bridal party knew how to remove it without destroying my hair before she left. Kelly gave me a touch up kit, and my bridesmaids got a full lip gloss in their shade to keep. They are not nearly as expensive as a lot of companies who will travel to a venue, and the quality of work is well worth the investment. They have many options and price breakdowns, too, which is helpful if your bridal party doesn't all want both hair and makeup professionally done. I highly recommend Hair and Makeup Unveiled!!

're reading a review about Nicole gives me confidence you are already on the right path. I actually know Nicole outside of the business, and that is a pleasure in and of itself. I had tried to avoid having her do my hair at my wedding (I wanted her to just be a guest and have fun!) and then we came down to the wire and browsing the internet I wound up requesting a quote from Hair and Makeup Unveiled- not realizing that was Nicole! Happiest bit of fate, ever. Nicole was super flexible with scheduling, and she was johnny-on-the-spot with no gripes when we had to start getting ready at zero-dark-thirty the morning of ( I had too many bridesmaids). I have to say, though, the best part about it was that there was no question I could trust her to get this mane under control for a night of pictures. At the trial, I walked in, shook out my ponytail, and said "have a party." On the day of the wedding, a lot of my girls requested a similar style, so we changed mine up on the fly. Zero concern. This woman knows what she's doing- trust her to do it and I promise you won't be disappointed. I missed out on K.E. Bridal makeup (she was booked that day) but Nicole ALSO saved my butt and recommended another stellar makeup artist for the day of, as well. Can I mention, too, how wonderful it was to NOT have to get up in the morning and schlep all of us to a salon for our hair/makeup? On-site is the way to go, my prenuptial pretties. Makes your day so much easier when all you have to do is get up and shower. Happy planning. And stop looking. You've found your hair/makeup designers.

ok. I am so glad we hired them since their work is extraordinary

eady and their results are gorgeous. They did my hair along with the bridesmaids and mothers and were incredibly efficient. Their speed does not detract from the results though - I was thrilled with how it turned out and couldn't believe how great all of our hair looked! Courtney did a great job with my makeup and was very responsive to my request to keep the look very natural. You will not be disappointed if you go with hair and makeup unveiled!

kay with 5 people. It was so nice just waking up and getting ready in my hotel room without having to drive anywhere. The price was perfect and Nicole and Kelly did an AMAZING job. They showed up right on time and are both super nice. I wish they could come do my hair and make up everyday. I felt like a princess and my mom, mother in law, sister and niece all looked SO beautiful. I am going to tell all my friends to use them for their weddings. Stop looking online and book them now. You will be so happy you did! Oh - and I danced all night and my hair stayed in place. My friends kept running up to me and saying "it's amazing - you keep dancing and your hair doesn't move! It still looks awesome!" And I loved the fake eyelashes that Kelly put on me and my sister - so pretty! You also get a little touch up kit which is great!

or my hair trial, they were it! Nicole instantly made me feel comfortable and we chatted the whole time. When describing the look I wanted, she knew just what to do. Kelly was also great during my trial and asked a lot of questions about how I normally wore my makeup to ensure that we didn't go too over the top. On my wedding day I am so thankful Nicole and Kelly were there! They made the getting ready part so much fun. My makeup was gorgeous! I was hesitant about false lashes, but Kelly convinced me to try them and I am so glad I did! Nicole kept me sane ALL day. Whenever anyone asked me a question (not even pertaining to hair and makeup) and I was indecisive she made the decision for me and knew just what to do! My bridesmaids all had their hair done as well, and without having met them, Nicole listened to what they described and created a look that was stunning! We were all so happy! I am so thankful I found Hair and Makeup Unveiled - if you’re still undecided, I would highly recommend you at least do a trial - you won’t be disappointed!

she was very laid back and easy going. I was extremely pleased with the quality of their services. My wedding day was extremely stress free and a special thank you to Nicole and Kelly because they were beyond prepared for anything that would happen to myself or my bridal party while getting ready. I would definitely recommend this team!

ll. On the of the wedding Nicole and her team arrived at the hotel early. They got everything set up and got moving. We had a lot of people to get done and they were so efficient and moved people along. They were also fun to have around while getting ready. Very talkative but professional at the same time. And any hair style you could think of they could make happen. Courtney did everyone's make up and they all looked great. She too arrived on time and get quite a few girls done in just a few hours. Would highly recommend Nicole and her team, can't say enough good things about them!

axed and fun and she pretty much nailed it with the first try. She is an expert at bridal hair and even recommended a place to buy a hair brooch for FAR less than you find in any bridal shoppes ($85 for a hair accessory? I think not). Kelly did my makeup and my trial with her was just as great. She understood my vision, as I am not much of a makeup wearer normally, and gave me a natural but enhanced look. I know my best features and Kelly captured them all. I really enjoyed my time with both ladies as well. They are so refreshing because I wanted quality work without feeling out of place. I am not the most "girlie girl" and I didn't want to pay a fortune in some trendy salon with Barbie doll stylists. These ladies rock and they are the type of people I would hang out with on the weekend. My Maid of Honor, my mother, and my mother in law also had their hair and makeup done on the day of the wedding. They all were very happy with the results. Even my mom, who has short hair and wears minimal makeup, was very happy with her styled hair and natural makeup. I think she surprised herself. Nothing beats stylists who come to you with everything they need. I didn't need to do anything but show up with clean, dry hair, and drink mimosas. The prices are definitely right, very reasonable, and I don't think anything would have made me happier had I chosen another company. I love these girls!

and more! My hair was amazing, and my make-up was natural and beautiful! They day of the wedding they did such a great job with not only myself, but my bridesmaids as well. Everyone had such amazing things to say about them. Thank you girls again!!

ping me book my trial appointment months in advance. They took my images from Pinterest and made them come to life! They were so flexible and helpful the day of my wedding. They brought an extra assistant along and rolled with the punches when two of my bridesmaids asked to get their make-up done last minute. I have gotten SO many compliments about how beautiful myself and my bridesmaids looked the day of my wedding. I would absolutely recommend both of these awesome ladies for any Northern Virginia wedding!

t - prices were competitive.

and recommend them to anyone.

rk with and extremely professional. Nicole and her assistant traveled on-site and were able to complete everyone's hair on time and their half-up-half-down styles looked beautiful.

accommodated my flower girl when she wanted to get her hair done as well. And everyone's hair and makeup was absolutely beautiful not to mention it last well into the night. My bridesmaids were so impressed they later went back for a make-up how to session.

much smoother, since they already knew what I liked and what they needed to do for me. Also it's key that they come to your venue. No driving around on the day of!

way. I loved the makeup I had! Kelly did a great job with the dramatic eyes I wanted while keeping the rest of the look natural and sophisticated. Nicole rocked the hair look I was going for, romantic curls with half the hair up to hold the veil. They were both flexible when a few bridesmaids wanted to add in additional services. Despite having more to do then originally expected, they remained calm and still got everyone done on time! They were very versatile with some girls wanting updos, some wanting blowouts and huge curls, some with short hair, and some with very thick hair. Getting ready with them was so relaxing and the perfect way to start the big. Overall, they were flexible, friendly, reliable and they really made each and everyone of us feel the most beautiful and glamorous! I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for wedding day hair and makeup!

girl had their own hairstyle but not like the Bride. Makeup was perfect for a formal reception. It was an all day affair and the Bride & Bridesmaids were still beautiful at the end of the reception. Truly a great team.

id great work. I was so happy when I finally found Hair and Makeup Unveiled! They met everything I was looking for and the work on their website looked great, so I booked them as soon as could. They were both very flexible with the trials, helped me a lot throughout the process and were amazing the day of my wedding! They were very kind, easy to work with and everyone loved their hair and makeup! I would highly recommend Kelly and Nicole!

ke a better version) of a hairstyle from a few pictures I gave her. She also improvised similar hairstyles for all 5 of my bridesmaids that were unique for each woman but had the same overall effect. Likewise, Kelly understood the type of make up effect I wanted (natural-playing up the eyes, but it still looked like me!). Kelly and Nicole are both so easy going, funny, and extremely professional. They showed up early on my wedding day (just by a few minutes-not overkill) and finished with enough time to spare for my photo session. They are very responsive to emails and questions I had. My entire bridal party was very happy with their hair and makeup, and I highly recommend Nicole and Kelly for your wedding hair and makeup needs. You won't be disappointed!

endly on the wedding day. They were also extremely accommodating when I wanted to make a few changes to my look at the last minute. They really do aim to please. I highly recommend them!

and my mom. I had a short engagement and they were both very flexible in ensuring that I could complete a trial before the big day. At the trial, both Kelly and Nicole asked great questions to get my "vision." The trial helped me feel much more comfortable and helped me make the small changes so that there was little stress on the wedding day. Kelly and Nicole showed up on time the day of, they were wonderful at making sure that everyone felt good about their hair and makeup and even made changes for the bridesmaids that were extra particular. Kelly and Nicole are a great team- talented, patient, creative, and easy to work with.

tyles i liked into something that worked for me - and i LOVED it. My bridesmaids (all 7 of them) said they had never had an updo they loved more (and they all chose there own styles that morning!). Nicole was easy going, fun and professional. She gets my highest recommendation.

mix of races, with very different hair textures, and I wanted to ensure everyone was cared for. Nicole expertly navigated all these concerns. She is so talented at what she does, and works with a strong sense of conviction and eye for design while also being very real about managing expectations so my expectations matched the reality. I brought her pictures of what I was looking for and she did a great job of making it work for each individual. One of my bridesmaids even asked for a referral for her upcoming wedding in a few months! I hope you'll consider working with Nicole, and really giving her your trust - she deserves it!

p and hair. On the day of my wedding both Nicole and Kelly were on time (even when we were late!) and well prepared. They were considerate of our time constraints and were even able to accommodate two additional ladies at the last minute! I highly recommend Hair and Makeup Unveiled!

nt quality time with each person, but did everything in a timely manner. Everyone looked amazing and felt really special after having their hair done; we had no complaints! I especially was please with my hair. Nicole and I had arranged a pre-wedding trial run months in advance. She remembered everything that I wanted and did it perfectly. I was very impressed with the results! I had already chosen a makeup artist before having found Hair and Makeup Unveiled.

came to the hotel so we could all get our hair done together. My wedding lasted way into the early hours of the next morning and my hair never moved once! I didn't even have to respect to get it to hold through all the dancing and moving around. I am incredibly picky about my hair and quite the perfectionist when it comes to having it done professionally and Nicole met and even exceeded my expectations. I would definitely recommend her to any bride looking for a reliable, professional, incredibly talented hair stylist. I will definitely use her in the future for special events. Thanks again Nicole! You're the best!

photos that I had shown her for reference of what I was looking for. She was able to get my mound of hair to look amazing. After the trial I had decided to cut some of my hair so on the day of the wedding I was super nervous that she wouldn't be able to come through for me. Well, not only did she come through she managed to change the whole design we had originally gone with during the trial for one that I just showed her a picture of. It was beautiful and elegant. Everything I could have ever wanted for my wedding day hair to look like. She was on time and very professional. Though she did not have a chance to do trials on anyone else in my wedding party she managed to complete the perfect looks for all of my bridesmaids (3), my 11 year old daughter (managed beautiful and age-appropriate hair: not too young, not too mature), as well as my mother and mother in law.They all looked amazing and felt like it too. It was great to work with her. She made my morning relaxing and I was able to enjoy it. I was very happy with her work and would recommend her to anyone wishing to have beautiful wedding day hair. Thank you Nicole!

g to sweep my wiggly 14-month-old's little wisps up and into her special flower girl barrette. I don't want to play down Nicole's hair styles because they are beautiful and unique; but, there's so much more to her than updo's. Nicole is an all-around special event expert, and supported whatever was going on around her. Her confidence and friendly professionalism help people feel that everything is going fine. :-) At one point during the preparations, my baby needed to take a nap. Nicole helped schedule the updo's and her break to keep the room as quiet as possible. At another (critical!) point, two of the bridesmaids realized the halter straps on their dress had been improperly altered. Nicole helped us determine and execute a plan for each dress. And a side benefit of all this? the bride never knew of any of these little issues--and that's how it's supposed to be. All in all, Nicole was a vital component to this beautiful, long-awaited day. I would recommend her without hesitation.

pin, respray, etc. During my pre-ceremony period where her and our make-up stylist was doing mine and my girls' hair, there were 2 other people who randomly wanted theirs done too and Nicole just went with the flow and did their hair. She was timely, efficient, happy, etc. I really enjoyed having her do my hair and would definitely use her again, and recommend her to others!!

e getting ready experience very special and comfortable! I would recommend their services to anyone. My bridal party was large and they managed to get everyone done exactly how they wanted without any stress of timing.

r makes comments about her hair) wouldn't stop talking about how great her hair looked :) My photographer also raved about my hair and hair pin (that Nicole gifted me) and wanted to make sure it appeared in as many pictures as possible. With 8 people getting their hair done I was a bit worried about timing and stress the day of, especially with only one stylist, but everything ended up working out great. It was a big help that they will travel to your location to do hair, and because of this my party was able to relax and have brunch while we waited. Kelly (make-up) also came along to help with curling. I had not planned on having my make-up done, but my bridesmaids talked me into it, and WOW! I am glad I did! I got a ton of compliments and my pictures turned out great! I would highly recommended Hair and Makeup Unveiled!

my wedding I was panicked because I didnt know what to do about my hair. I wanted a very specific updo and my hairdresser said it wouldnt be possible with my hair type. I called a number of people who could not help me on short notice, except Nicole. She told me that she had an event that day but that she would be willing to come do my hair early in the morning and PROMISED that it would stay until my evening wedding and she was right! That morning she came at 7am to do my updo (my wedding was not until 4pm) It came out perfect! Looked exactly like the picture of the updo I wanted. And even after removing the vail and adding a clip my hair did not budge. I would recommend Nicole to everyone. I only wish I had found her sooner. She has a very creative eye and will help you to come up with a hair style for your wedding that you could only dream of! Thanks Nicole for saving my hair and helping to make me feel perfect on my wedding day!!!! -Jennifer

pay a reasonable price. She is so creative and makes you look like your best self. She specializes in wedding updos but can do anything that you want with your hair. I was sold after she came to my apartment to do a trial run. She brought all of her tools and was able to do a beautiful, intricate updo in my cramped studio apartment. Not only does she do fantastic hair, she has a wonderful, funny and bright personality which certainly makes the "getting ready" part of the wedding enjoyable. I had an outdoor wedding at a historic mansion on a hot summer evening and 8 of us had to be ready to leave the hotel for the mansion for pictures by 2:30pm. On the day of my wedding, Nicole came to my hotel room at 6am and began styling hair. She brought all of her own equipment and didn't' need anything special from us other than what was already in our standard room. She styled 8 women’s hair in total before 2:00pm. She had never met any of my bridesmaids before the day of the wedding but she was able to create an individual and beautiful hairstyle for each person. In addition, everyone’s hair stayed in place ALL day and night long despite the insane humidity, heat and crazy dancing. She puts on just the right amount of hairspray to make it stay in place no matter how high the humidity and heat is….but not so much that it appears as though you’ve dipped your head in the bottle. If you hire Nicole you have hired one of the best hairstylists in the DC/VA/MD area, hands down. If you're debating between a couple of other hairstylists, call or email Nicole and at least give her a shot at a trial run. You won't be disappointed. BTW – if you’re looking for a makeup artist, Lori with Le Mariee makeup came to my hotel room too at the same time and they were able to rotate everyone from hair to makeup easily. Nicole and Lori worked really well together and the end result was perfection.
