I have been booked on destination weddings taking me to Morocco, Italy and Mexico. I’ve also been complimented for my authenticity, compassion and having a magnetic personality. This has contributed to a referral based business in part because I've saved many a bride from undue stress! My team and I are capable of doing all ethnicities and cultures and offer several types of services including airbrush, spray tanning and men's grooming.

I cannot say enough about how Lavonne made my wedding experience so enjoyable, seamless, and incredibly wonderful. She and her assistant were prompt and professional and also very personable. It felt like having an old friend over to hang out! She made sure that everyone was comfortable every step of the way, and explained everything thoroughly. I highly, highly recommend her! I felt beyond gorgeous and confident when she finished my makeup, and everyone in my wedding party was just as stunning. Her makeup also photographs beautifully. Thank you, LB Bridal/Lavonne for making my once-in-a-lifetime event perfect!

Lavonne and her team is absolutely amazing! She made my special day perfect! Great communication from the start to the finish! Her and her team went above and beyond for all my requests! She took care of my whole bridal party, the groomsmen and all family. She offered services for everyone! Buying her package to include the bridesmaid, groomsmen, and family was money well spent! I highly recommend LB Bridal!

Lavonne is absolutely wonderful. She was on time and got right to work. My mother is very picky about her hair and loved it! My flower girl also loved her hair and makeup and looked absolutely beautiful. Lavonne did exactly what I wanted. Perfect hair and makeup! Thanks to her I have nice wedding photos. She made me feel at ease was done before I knew it. If you brides want to look beautiful and stress free experience, I highly recommend Lavonne! ❤️💒

The girl they sent out to do my hair and make up was 15-30 minutes late with no notice and then went over her time by almost an hour and a half. She did none of the things I requested with my hair and make up, I asked for winged eyeliner and I asked for Hollywood waves (she gave me George Washington crunchy curls). I sent the company an email a week after my wedding day and they didn’t respond for two weeks until I left a negative review. Their stylist lied saying that she showed me a mirror throughout the process and that her job took longer because my family members were emotional. She even went as far as to say she put me in my dress which was a flat out lie. When they reached out, they asked me to remove my initial review so they could keep their 5 star status, but I think other brides should know how my day actually went. I did not feel beautiful whatsoever on my wedding day and I had no time to correct any of the stylist’s errors because she made me late to family pictures. This review will be staying.

I'm very sorry you weren't happy. I was quite surprised to see your recent review, especi...
ally considering the fact that your wedding took place over 2 1/2 years ago, and at that time, you reached out to retract your initial review. In fact, you sent me the following email, which explained that the original review was posted by accident and was not intended for a public platform:
“Hello again,
I apologize as the review was an accident and I’ve been trying to fix it for an hour or 2! I did not see your reply to the email until after I had published the review and I only published it because I thought you hadn’t seen my original email sent this past Sunday. After I got an email asking for a review, I assumed that it was the only way you would see it. I hope the time stamps somehow show it because my intention was truly just to get in touch with you.
My mom and I have a complicated relationship which strained a lot of things that day. I will admit, people were frequently coming in and out and I see how that made -----'s job harder. A few times I looked into my phone screen to see how I looked but that was only at the make up. I really did not see my hair until it was over. My mom helped me into my dress and ----- stayed to see me out. Truthfully, my hair took a while and we finished at 5:15 with both hair and make up before putting the dress on. I can say that most everything ----- told you is true. It’s just that I think she was being pressured and I never really saw my hair or make up in an actual mirror or fully until it was finished.
I never wanted her to feel pressured but I was late to our agreed timing and many family members were calling me to see why I was so late. ----- fully deserves what we paid her and it was not my intention to post the review in a public platform. I will take it down if I can find a way to do so. I thought that the email asking for a response would go through you and not straight to the website. ” --Kennedy
Given that the artist (whose name I have removed) you referenced is no longer with my company, I’m unclear as to why these concerns have resurfaced. It’s important to note that we worked diligently at the time to resolve any misunderstandings, and based on your email, it seemed we had reached an understanding.
To clarify some details: Your artist, was delayed in starting because we were unable to get in touch with you prior to the wedding. Despite two previous requests, you had not sent the room number where services would be performed, so your artist was waiting in the parking lot. Once she located you, you switched rooms and had to get settled. Additionally, you had declined a preview session, so we add extra time the day of to make sure you love it. Despite the delay, your artist stayed to help you into your dress and ensured you were ready to go.
I also want to acknowledge that the makeup process took longer due to frequent interruptions, as family members were pulling you away from the chair, even after your artist had informed you that you were running short on time and you assured her it was fine. However, she remained professional throughout and did everything possible to ensure you looked your best on your special day. She also said you gave her a generous gratuity.
It’s also worth noting that after we received your feedback, we offered to refund your money, which you declined. I have since made her aware of your current review, and she has once again expressed her willingness to refund your payment. She kindly asks that, since she no longer works for my company, any further reviews related to your experience be directed to her business platform.
I take client feedback very seriously and strive to provide exceptional service for all of my brides. However, this review seems inconsistent with our previous communication, which makes this situation confusing.
If there’s anything you’d like to further discuss or if you feel there are any new issues that need addressing, I’d be happy to speak with you directly. Again, I am very sorry you were not happy.

Lavonne Woods executed my bridal hair and makeup flawlessly this weekend on 11/11/2023. She also provided services for my entire wedding party - three bridesmaids, aunt, mother, mother-in-law, groom, and six groomsmen. I honestly felt like a beautiful Disney princess - the most beautiful I have ever felt in my life. The bridal preview was super helpful to have, as it streamlined my hair and makeup the day of the wedding. Lavonne has been a pleasure to work with during this entire experience. She is VERY SKILLED and professional and overall a really cool and fun person. Her wedding package cannot be beat and I am so glad I got the Premium Package. Having the facials the day before the wedding was perfect, as the day was stressful and the facial really helped me relax and not sweat the small stuff. I highly recommend Lavonne Beauty and plan to continue going to her after this experience!

Lavonne was exceptional on my extremely blessed wedding day. I gifted my young nieces with a hair and “make-up” treat, and she made them look like angels, age perfect “make-up” and glowing. Their hair was lovely, and they loved the special time with Lavonne! Lavonne did my make-up and hair, as well, and both couldn’t have been better. My mom also enjoyed being pampered getting her make-up done! Lavonne’s work was top notch, and her presence was calming. Hire her for your treasured occasions.

Lavonne was a total professional who provided hair & makeup services to 3 of us prior to my January wedding. She met with me twice virtually per her standard process and provided a lot of guidance & structure which was very helpful. On the day, she was on time, flexible when we were not ready and both professional and personable throughout the process. She was receptive to feedback and worked to make sure each individual got exactly what they wanted. Highly highly recommend.

LB Bridal provided the hair and makeup stylists for my wedding. Even after some unforeseen last minute timeline shifts, the artists were entirely prompt and professional. Both Grace and Logan arrived on time and got right to work. They were incredibly kind and truly masters at their craft.
Logan’s hair styles were intricate and perfect for our outdoor mountain setting. She was so patient and did multiple touchups to ensure the entire bridal party looked great the entire day.
Grace is a master at makeup. The first bridesmaid had her makeup done at 7:30am and still looked fresh and stunning at 10:00pm when the wedding ended! She listened to each member intently and provided a truly unique style that suited each person beautifully. As the bride, I couldn’t be happier with how my HAMU turned out. I wanted to make sure I still looked like “me” since I rarely wear makeup and Grace delivered! My look was timeless and applied with so much care. She even stayed later and did multiple hair touchups just before I walked down the aisle. Truly a pleasure to work with!

Lavonne and her team did a perfect job at my wedding. Both our makeup and hair looked so beautiful!! My hairstylist (a separate vendor) was unable to come last minute and Lb bridal was able to step in without question. Then, my photographer almost didn’t come, and Liza and Chloe called every photographer they knew to step in in case he didn’t show up and literally saved the day. I sincerely appreciate the team for going above and beyond on our special day and am incredibly grateful. I HIGHLY recommend LB Bridal for both hair and makeup.

I highly recommend Lavonne and her team for hair and makeup. Lavonne is extremely professional, personable, and she trains everyone who works for her (so you know they are wonderful, too!). Lavonne and her team did hair and makeup for me (the bride), my bridal party (three women), my 9-year old flower girl, and they did some grooming for my husband. Everyone looked and felt amazing after the LB Bridal team worked their magic!
Lavonne went above and beyond. Even when I was stressing about something, she talked me down and put my mind at ease. Lavonne is an amazing beautician (and aesthetician - I also went in for a facial); she is also a wonderful person and fits right in on your wedding day without adding any pressure or stress.

Where do I begin? LaVonne is amazing. With our wedding being in Arkansas and us living in Washington, DC is was quite hard to find someone with a diverse, luxury portfolio that worked with minorities. From start to finish, I would give her an 11/10 lol. The introductory call helped answer all of my questions, our emails went through a portal so we could review as we planned our wedding for 13 months. I had 6 bridesmaids and everyone was wearing different styles (bob, slicked back ponytail, high ponytail, braids, etc) and her team delivered all services plus the two mothers and myself within 4.5 hours. That was hair and makes up for everyone! When we did bridal trial, I found one I needed more of a matte look and when she completed my makeup for the rehearsal dinner and wedding, it was flawless! Actually better than expected. She also gave my eyebrows TLC and had my lashes looking amazing.
You can't go wrong with LaVonne and her team. She is an excellent choice and fortunate she was able to be there on my big day. Thanks again for everything!!

Lavonne is just wonderful. I had my wedding makeup done by her, and she did my hair for my bridal pictures, which looked perfect too. The only reason I didnt have her do my hair for the wedding is because my very close friend diy hair for that, but from what she did for my bridals, I would very much trust her with wedding hair too. The first preview I went to for makeup, I was nervous she would overdo it and I would have way too much makeup on. But I got there and she was super sweet, listened to what I wanted, and delivered perfectly. If I said I didn't like something, she would redo it and I lived it. My mom and sister got their makeup done for my wedding too, and they both had dermaplane done and both said it was a great experience. My wedding day makeup looked just perfect, my husband said I looked beautiful, and still like myself. Lavonne told me her job is to make me look like a better version of me, and she delivered perfectly. Very friendly, sweet, and personable. Highly recommend!

She was very receptive of my concerns and made sure that I was comfortable and happy with everything. If I could give 10 out of 5 stars I absolutely would!!

Lavonne was FANTASTIC!! From the very start of reaching out to her via the Knot, she was very informative, kind, and just a great person to do business with. She also did my classic lash extensions and 3 weeks later (after honeymooning in Cancun, being in the water, etc), they are STILL intact and look very natural. Thank you, Lavonne and her team for making sure me and my ladies feel beautiful on my big day!! I highly recommend her and will definitely be using her again. Xoxo

I can’t begin to describe how amazing Lavonne was. I was blessed to have her do my hair and makeup for our engagement photos. From the moment she walked in, I truly felt so comfortable and knew I would be taken care of. She made sure to understand what I wanted and took her time to make sure everything was perfect. Being of Indian origin, I was concerned about not having the right color or style but Lavonne absolutely blew my expectations and I have never felt more BEAUTIFUL and CONFIDENT for my photos. I am so grateful to have found her!

She not only did an amazing job the day of but was so proactive even during the days prior and asked such thoughtful questions during our initial meeting. And she is the loveliest person to be around which made it all the more better :) I knew I was in great hands on the day of my wedding which was made very clear since everyone commented on how good my hair and makeup looked. If only I can have her on a daily basis ;) I would recommend her to anyone! Thanks Lavonne. So glad I found you.

5 stars all the way. Lavonne is the mother/best friend/ sister that you didn’t know you needed in your life. She will make you feel like you are the most special person on your best day ever. I’ve always hated fake eyelashes on me and asked to go without on my day and she didn’t push me at all. She isn’t pushy with makeup and always goes with your preference but knows how to help you figure out what you didn’t know you needed to look 1000% GLAM for your day. This woman has put makeup on some of the top supermodels and artists in the WORLD. She knows what she’s doing. I was planning on getting married on a set date and then when covid happened, i decided to last minute elope. Guys, my date changed not once but twice and i asked her only 24 hours in advance to be there for my elopement and help me get ready. Not only did she do my makeup but had her bridal suite ready to go, wedding playlist on the speakers and everything. SHE IS AMAZING AT HER JOB- book her ASAP before someone else does!

I am so lucky that my fiancé was stamping our wedding invitations in the post office when Lavonne saw him and gave him her card. I had been looking for a makeup artist for our big day, so this was just like fate when he brought her card home to me! She was so easy to get in touch with and set up a trial. During the trial, she stopped for me to look every little bit making sure she was getting the exact look I wanted! My big day is in a couple of weeks and I am so excited to have Lavonne doing my makeup again!!

When I think about my wedding one of my favorite memories is having Lavonne do my hair and makeup not only because she is THE MOST talented beauty professional I have ever met, but she is a gem of a person who works beautifully under pressure with the utmost calm, poise and grace!
I had a 5 day destination wedding in Morocco with multiple events requiring several distinct looks on a very strict schedule. Lavonne collaborated with me to create both “high fashion“ glam and “bridal” beauty looks which she NAILED every-every-single-time! She also adhered to our very demanding itinerary with multiple look changes in a single day and/or early morning call times...and when things didn’t really go according to schedule she was more than happy to “pivot” and do whatever she could to make it work. In fact, she preserved my sanity during one of the most important yet very stressful times of my life. Even though we had just recently met, I felt like I was spending time with a really good girlfriend - she made me laugh, she let me vent and when I shed the occasional tear she was right there to fix me up! I can go on and on but simply stated: choosing Lavonne was one of the best decisions I ever made. It is without hesitation that I highly endorse and recommend her services to any future bride!

Where do I even start... I had just moved to Arkansas from Oklahoma City months before my wedding. I luckily found Lavonne when I was desperately searching the internet for the one... (LOL that's supposed to be the groom.. but seriously hair and makeup for your big day is everything lets be honest here.) Anyways, Lavonne was so accommodating when I contacted her she insisted on doing a preview so I would know exactly what I would look like and I couldn't be more thankful for that. When she showed up with literally a huge suitcase of makeup and her own lighting, I knew I could trust her! On my wedding day she did SO much more for me than she had to. She not only made me look and feel incredible she was all over making sure my veil and hair was perfect for EVERY photo. She was by my side the entire time and that was incredibly comforting. She even helped me with a wardrobe malfunction I was having with my gown. She has such a great bubbly personality she will impress your whole bridal party and vendors too ;) Do yourself a favor and book her. You won't regret it, I promise!

Lavonne was amazing. I have five sisters and a mom, each with their own unique personal style and Lavonne managed to nail each one of our wildly different and specific looks. She listened to what we wanted and was happy to pivot as she went to make sure we loved our makeup. She was loads of fun to have around, too! She and her assistant were prompt, professional and most of all wildly talented. As a black bride, it was important to me to work with a MUA who understood black woman and black beauty and Lavonne was that woman and more! Book her!

Lavonne captured the look I wanted for both myself and the bridesmaids. I was completely delighted at my transformation. Lavonne was both reassuring, funny and set everyone at ease. Superb products used which lasted the day. Thank you Lavonne!

Lavonne was amazing from beginning to end! The trial was perfect and she made every adjustment I requested to make sure it was exactly what I wanted. On the day if she was extremely punctual (even more so than me) and did my makeup, my mom’s and one of my bridesmaids on time with extra time for touch-up. My make-up was absolutely beautiful! The best part was that I got a touch-up pack that my MOH helped me use to stay looking fresh and put together all night!

If you want to look like you belong on the cover of Vanity Fair then work with Lavonne! She is a full package covering both hair and makeup. With wedding makeup you will find plenty of vendors who do makeup well but very few people can take makeup to a higher art form bringing your face to life like Lavonne. Lavonne also practiced new hair techniques to expertly execute a very complex braid I had been dreaming of! She can do it ALL!

Lavonne is absolutely amazing! I was lucky enough to have her do my wedding hair and makeup, as well as for other events, and she is a dream to work with. From the trial to the big day, Lavonne was incredibly professional, kind, and talented. She puts you at ease and makes the process so much fun. Lavonne knows exactly how to make everyone look their absolute best and always wants to make sure you’re happy with the end result. People always comment how amazing my hair and makeup was for my wedding and I cannot thank her enough. Love love love her so much!

I worked with Lavonne for my engagement and wedding. I chose Lavonne as she was very understanding and listened to what my needs were and also gave great suggestions as well. She was very professional and super nice while being very accommodating. Planning a wedding is stressful to begin with so working with someone who is very accommodating and nice really relives a bit of the stress. I highly recommend Lavonne!

Lavonne and her team are amazing. I am a NYC based planner and Lavonne was always my go to for my clients. She even did the makeup for my wedding as well as hair and makeup for my brother's wedding. She is missed in NYC and all LA brides are lucky to have Lavonne work their magic.

Thank you so much! I will always travel to NYC for any wedding you are planning!

I couldn't have asked for a better makeup artist on my big day! Not only was Lavonne a meticulous professional, but she also put me at ease (and made me laugh, which I needed!). She asked me what I wanted, listened when I told her and gave me more than I'd hoped for. I've never felt so beautiful as I did when she was finished with me. I would wholeheartedly recommend LB Bridal to anyone who wants a makeup artist who feels like friend, but transforms you into perfection.

I am so in love with Lavonne and her work. I literally flew her to Mexico to do my makeup for my wedding. My friends loved her work so much that she then went on to Morocco, Italy, California to do makeup for my friends weddings. She is truly an incredible artist, and worth every penny.

wedding was a dream, all 5 days in Mexico and all 14 of your girls were a dream to work with! Thanks so much for your kind words!
