Monahime Beauty was built for the bride who wants to feel beautiful without feeling overdone. Elevated, polished, and completely herself - that is what I work toward with every bride I have the honor of working with. I specialize in radiant, soft-focus makeup and polished, romantic hairstyles that feel timeless and refined - beauty that feels authentically you, never overdone, and designed to be loved for decades to come. With nearly 15 years in the beauty industry, every service is rooted in genuine artistry, intention, and care. The experience goes far beyond your wedding morning. From a personalized skincare guide and skin prep consultation to your own Wedding Dashboard and a 3 to 4 hour bridal preview, every detail is thoughtfully designed so you arrive on your wedding day feeling prepared, pampered, and completely at ease. I only take on one wedding per day - because you deserve nothing less than my full attention. ♡ Based in Northern Virginia and available to travel for your celebration.

Owner & Lead Artist

I did not always picture myself in bridal beauty - my heart was in graphic and web design, and that creative obsession still lives in everything I do, from the way I craft a look to the systems I build for my brides. But somewhere along the way I discovered something I was not expecting - that this work is about so much more than hair and makeup. It is about the moment a bride looks in the mirror and that confidence just radiates. The way she stands a little taller, smiles a little wider. That moment never gets old and honestly, it is everything to me. I am a perfectionist by nature and I genuinely cannot let a bride leave my chair with anything less than her absolute best. Nearly 15 years of experience, a deep love for the craft, and a whole lot of heart go into every single wedding morning I am trusted to be part of. I do not take that lightly - not even a little. ♡

Working with Monahime Beauty was a dream!! From my trial to our wedding day, Michelle was amazing. We vibed from the beginning, and even my 98-year-old grandma (who has something t...

o say about everything) loved Michelle’s work. Michelle did an incredible job on me—I asked for a natural look with a little pop of glam, and she gave me the perfect amount of sparkle while still making me feel like myself. I felt absolutely beautiful all day, and I barely had to do any touch ups throughout the night. My hair stayed perfectly in place the entire evening as well!! Jasmine worked on my mom’s, maid of honor’s, and two bridesmaids hair, and everyone looked stunning. Both artists were professional, talented, and lovely to be around. They both jammed with us to our “Girly Bops for Girly Pops” getting ready playlist too, which was so fun! I couldn’t have asked for a better team to help us get ready!!

l party. She adjusted my hair and makeup based on my feedback without hesitation, and always made me feel heard and cared for. Her organization was top-notch, special shout-out to the PowerPoint slides she created for uploading inspo photos, which made the whole process smooth and efficient. Michelle was not only highly responsive and detail-oriented, but also warm and friendly, creating a calm and fun atmosphere on such an important day. Thanks to Michelle, I felt GORGEOUS on my wedding day. I wholeheartedly recommend her to any bride looking for someone who combines talent with genuine care and professionalism.

I highly recommend booking Michelle for your bridal hair and make up. I took a LONG time to research so many makeup and hair artists, and when I found Michelle, and chatted with he...

r, I knew she was perfect for what I was looking for. I wanted a very natural look for makeup, and an elegant french twist for my wedding. Michelle even helped me get ideas for my hair pins that matched my bouquet, and it turned out beautiful! Michelle took such special care to make sure my wedding day look was perfect - from the preview, to chatting about my inspiration photos, to giving great advice. Michelle is so talented and most important takes the time to listen and go the extra mile. Also, Michelle is such a kind person, a calming presence to have around on a very stressful day such as your wedding day. Me and my Matron of Honor LOVED her. You can't go wrong hiring her - she will help make your dream wedding come true. Thank you so much Michelle!!

hat I wanted a more natural look. During the hair and makeup trial, she matched my inspiration photos perfectly! She was able to drive to my apartment building for the trial, which was extremely convenient. On my wedding day, she was timely, creative, efficient and made me and my bridesmaids look gorgeous! I got so many compliments on my hair and makeup all throughout the night.

r magic while I totally relaxed. When she finished the last spritz of setting spray and I looked in the mirror, I couldn’t believe the transformation, nor could I have been more pleased. My only disappointment was that I had to wash it off at the end of the day. Thank you for making me look beautiful, Michelle!

kept my makeup very natural, which is exactly what I wanted. Come wedding day, Michelle and her team knocked it out of the park. I was so pleased with how quickly they got our 14 girls done for both hair and makeup! They were ahead of schedule and the girls loved the hair and makeup that was done. Michelle took great care in completing my entire bridal look and was very easy to work with. I couldn't be happier with Monahime Beauty and highly recommend Michelle to all brides!

In my business, I’ve tried to keep my headshots current with my look over the years, so Michelle has always been my go-to for makeup and hair for all my photo sessions. I recommend her to all of my friends and family and also my business associates.
