CREATIVE HAIR & MAKEUP DESIGN BY PERRY L WARREN

end who has allergies to a lot of products and he took the time to ensure she wouldn’t have an allergic reaction.  Perry made sure he did touch ups on us after photos and before the ceremony. He stayed to watch me and my husband  ski down and even made a cute little reel for us! I was so so touched. He texted me to check-in day before, day of and day after. Make up was flawless and if I need another makeup job, he’s whom I am going to. Professional and truly caring! 

He traveled to me for all three, including the engagement shoot and welcome party which were both times where only I was getting my hair and makeup done. I really appreciated that he was willing to do that rather than make me come to the salon as many HMU artists do for one-off services. I loved all three looks and thought each was perfect for the occasion. He did an especially great job with the Indian-style hair and makeup for the welcome party - in fact, he affixed and hid the chain for the tikka so well that even my family from India was impressed. On the day of the wedding, he did a beautiful job with hair and makeup for an ethnically diverse bridal party (and even helped the groomsmen when they wandered in a bit confused about their tuxes). He also stayed with me through all the pre-wedding photoshoots and did touchups right until I walked down the aisle. It was such a huge help to have him there as an extra set of eyes during the photoshoots, fixing my veil and jewelry and making sure my hair wasn't out of place. He also took many adorable "behind the scenes" photos that are precious memories of the day. Overall Perry was one of the best choices I made in terms of vendors and I highly recommend him to anyone who wants a calming, steady presence on their wedding day!

Super fun to be around, my entire wedding party found him to be a delight. He went above and beyond to make the day special, even helped me carry my lehenga skirt up a hill to the ceremony space. Im eternally grateful for that. 100/10 would reccomend to any bride!

nalism, and warm energy made the entire experience so positive and fun. On my wedding day, he absolutely nailed the hair and makeup I had envisioned—I had zero complaints and was beyond thrilled with the way I looked. I truly felt like a fairytale princess thanks to his unmatched talent. Perry also did hair and makeup for my bridesmaids, my mom, my aunts, and my mother-in-law, and every single one of them looked stunning. His ability to enhance everyone’s natural beauty while tailoring each look so perfectly is such a gift. Beyond his incredible skills, he brings a calming, joyful presence to the room—exactly what every bride needs on their wedding day. I just absolutely adore Perry. If you are lucky enough to have him as part of your wedding, then you are lucky enough!

entional. He vastly surpassed my expectations. One of the things I loved most about Perry’s work is that he enhances natural beauty without making wedding parties appear overly made up. For more details, please read on. Perry was responsive and courteous in all of our interactions, from my initial inquiry, to our call for him to understand more about my wedding and style preferences, to my trial with him, to the day of my wedding. One of the things that sealed my decision to choose Perry as the stylist for me, my mom, mother-in-law, and bridesmaids was his feedback that “as long as you have hair, I can style it” because I had let him know that I am extremely self-conscious about my fine hair. I so appreciated Perry’s kindness and sense of humor, especially in regard to my sassy and energetic senior rescue dog. Perry has was also very flexible with an unexpected change in our wedding date a few weeks after we had originally booked him for October 2025. Perry arrived right on (even a little ahead of!) schedule on our wedding day in August 2025. He and his assistant, Niaz, worked seemingly effortlessly on hair and makeup for our group amidst the usual day-of wedding chaos ensuing in our hotel suite. I had the stomach-dropping realization when Perry asked for the hair clips I’d purchased for my wedding that I’d left them at home. His calm response was to ask me to have the valet bring his car up since he had extras that actually were a perfect (as in, MUCH) better fit for the style of my dress than my own hair clips.  Finally, Perry came to the church to affix my veil - a family heirloom - into my hair and to do final makeup touch-ups just before the wedding. During my hair and makeup trial six months earlier, Perry had made a recommendation for how to alter the veil slightly to make it fit into my hair and even spoke with a tailor to guide him through what to do when I brought it to a shop to be altered.  Long story short, my wedding party and I would absolutely recommend working with Perry. 

ave every exactly what they wanted and was so amazing to work with!

p turned out. Both were gorgeous!!!! and beyond what I have imagined 👸 I felt absolutely beautiful, thanks to you. ❤️ But it was not only your talent that made my day, not only your professionalism, your outstanding knowledge of how to turn ordinary to EXTRA ORDINARY, but the love and care I felt the whole morning you spent with us. You made me feel like you were my best friend who cared and worked his heart out for me. 🙏 Everything you did was wonderful, and I will absolutely recommend your services to EVERYONE who needs help with hair or makeup on her special day. Thank you, Perry! 🙏 Thank you, thank you, and more thank you 🙏🙏🙏❤️

wedding and was very responsive to my many questions. He stayed up until I walked down the aisle, helping to fluff my dress and fix my hair for photos before the ceremony. He also sent me photos that he took throughout the day, which was a wonderful surprise! I seriously cannot recommend him enough.

nal throughout the process. On the day of, he brought such a positive and fun energy to our bridal suite while getting ready. Perry helped do both my mother and I's hair and our styles did not budge on a 90+ degree summer day here in Virginia. I would highly recommend Perry for anyone's future wedding hair and cannot thank him enough for going above and beyond.

dding earlier this month. He worked with me in the trial to create something that I was fully comfortable with and excited about. He then turned that around with no fuss or need to talk through anything on the day of my wedding – it was one less thing to worry about that morning! My sister, mother, and two step daughters were at ease with Perry and so happy with their looks as well. He was wonderful to work with throughout the process – providing me tips and recommendations, yes regarding my hair/makeup, but also other wedding requirements – he was incredibly helpful, responsive, and kind. Very grateful the interwebs led me to Perry and highly recommend him for any of your special occasion needs!

nt of his, and I remember how nice that experience was when I was her maid of honor. It was my first time wearing false eyelashes and I loved the look ever since. Perry was thankfully available for my time frame and agrees to working on my large wedding party (7 total) with the help of an assistant. His communication was always quick/same day for text/email/and phone calls and made sure to be clear about his needs for the makeup/hair trial and day of service. He's a consummate professional and always made me feel comfortable and heard, working with a variety of ages and genders for my wedding day. I had to change my location for where to get ready a couple days before the wedding and quite distraught over it, but when letting Perry know he quickly came up with a fantastic alternative that worked better than my original location. The quality of service was outstanding, he arrived early for my day of the wedding and after making sure myself and the wedding party were happy with our looks, he even came to the venue to stay with us until I walked down the aisle. He made last minute adjustments to ensure we looked our best, helped my bridesmaid's husband tie his tie properly, and had such a calm and fun presence throughout the day. The NoVA area is notoriously expensive and as my budget was nowhere near the norm, this was a major concern of mine when booking all the various services. The value of Perry was extremely high quality for the price, an excellent value! His artistry, patience, flexibility, and lovely personality makes him the ideal person to book for one's event. Highly recommend!

as knowledgeable about both make-up and hair and was so welcoming and kind. All the girls loved their looks!! Perry so clearly loves what he does. I would definitely book Perry for any hair and make-up event needs in the future.

bly personable. He listened to exactly what I envisioned for my hair and makeup, and then brought it to life in a way that exceeded my expectations. On the big day, Perry was not only punctual and organized but also made the entire experience feel relaxed and fun. He were so easy to work with, and his calm, positive energy was exactly what I needed during the pre-wedding chaos. My hair and makeup looked flawless all day long, from the ceremony to the reception, and I felt absolutely beautiful. My bridesmaids were also thrilled with their looks, and we all got so many compliments. It truly felt like Perry went above and beyond to make sure everyone felt amazing. If you’re looking for someone who is not only talented but also a joy to work with, look no further than Perry. He helped make my wedding even more magical, and I am so grateful!

idesmaids. He was very responsive and gave a detailed set of prices right away. However, the bridesmaids chose a different makeup artist. 2. The make up artist that I had (the bride) fell through (about 2 months out from the wedding at this point) and I had to look for a different make up artist. I thought back on my interaction with Perry and he was the first one I reached out to. Again, responded almost immediately. He had our date available! So I booked a hair/makeup trial + day of. 3. The first time meeting Perry in person, I felt welcomed and he was very attentive to the style that I was looking for (with a nice glass of wine 😉). He also suggested other makeup styles that would better compliment my skin tone 4. Day of wedding: Perry gave a detailed list of instructions 2 nights before on how to prep my hair. Perry was right on time and started on my hair right away. He put in the extensions and took his time perfecting my hair style WHILE also dealing with my mother who kept pestering him and the bridesmaid makeup artist to let her use their hair products. Perry was a saint and let her use his hair curlers (it was so embarrassing for me but I couldn’t be anymore grateful). I ended up DOUBLE TIPPING because if anyone deserved it, it was Perry. Aka my favorite vendor 5. He helped lace up the bridesmaids corsets (ABOVE AND BEYOND) 6. Held my dress when I was walking towards the first look for my father (MOH’s job but that’s another story) 7. Took 2-3ish professional pictures and sent them to me later. It was literally just as good as the photographers work. 8. Vibing with the other bridesmaids and I. Without Perry, I would be SOL. He was perfect and more. Highly recommend his services. He is worth every penny.

sm shone through as he listened to my ideas and offered expert suggestions that perfectly matched my vision. As someone who tends to get nervous, I was amazed at how he helped me relax and enjoy the process. He not only worked wonders on my hair but also made sure the entire bridal party felt special and beautiful. What truly set Perry apart was his dedication to ensuring everything was perfect. He even followed me to the venue for last-minute fixes, which showed how committed he was to making hair and make-up flawless. His attention to detail left me feeling confident and radiant as I walked down the aisle. I wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone looking for a talented stylist who brings charm, warmth, and professionalism to the table!

en 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!

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!!

ence 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!!!

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.
