The Stylist Abroad

The Stylist Abroad was an amazing hair and makeup team to work with for our wedding day. Ashley was a quick and great communicator and ensured everything went smoothly. I truly loved my hair with Michelle and makeup with Jenna. They were very communicative and open to suggestions. We also had an assistant Asia who was great. I could not recommend them more!

I had an amazing experience with The Stylist Abroad! Ashley, the owner, was absolutely fantastic and was incredibly communicative for the entire process. She answered every single question right away, and gave so much insight! For the trial and on the day of my wedding, my girls and I worked with Kim (hair) and Jenna (makeup), and they were both amazing. So kind, so friendly, and clearly knowledgeable! I was deciding between two hairstyles, and Kim was happy to try both in my trial. I had a couple things I wanted to change with my makeup, and Jenna was more than happy to accommodate! I was incredibly pleased with both looks on my wedding day, and everyone looked incredible!! I was definitely very blessed with the weather on wedding day, so that also helps, but hair and makeup stayed in place fabulously! The cherry on top is that everyone was just so sweet and easy to talk to!! Made the start of the day so pleasant and relaxed, and it seems like all my girls had a great time, too! Would absolutely recommend!!

We absolutely loved our experience with The Stylist Abroad! We felt incredibly welcomed and accepted as an LGBTQ+ couple. We had makeup services provided by Ashley. She was amazing and was able to tailor everyone's makeup to exactly what they wanted. She was very professional and always communicated quickly and clearly. Highly recommend working with The Stylist Abroad for your big day!

Ashley is amazing. My wedding look was exactly what I anticipated and more, and she made it so much better. My hair and makeup were beautiful. Communication and professionalism were spot on. I would highly recommend Ashley and her team.

Ashley and her team are wonderful! Ashley always responded within 24 hours and she managed to cram in my trials with the artists I wanted to use while I was only in town a week prior to our wedding a couple months later. I hired her team after having another trial and The Stylist Abroad blew me away! Definitely recommend for looking absolutely gorgeous on your wedding day or any special event! Ashley has even gone above and beyond after my event re: question on items used for my makeup look that I'd like to incorporate into my routine. Highly recommend!

I cannot say enough how much The Stylist Abroad helped me. I got married in October and as I was planning everything months ahead, I panicked when it came to finding a HMUA. I am not savvy what so ever when it comes to hair and makeup but thankfully, The Knot helped me find this incredible team. From communication, to planning the schedule, and the trail, they all were extremely impressive. Katelyn was an absolute TREAT to work with and her talents and knowledge were absolutely incredible. I've never felt more beautiful in my entire life. Thank ya'll so much. <3

Ashley & her team were amazing! I received so many compliments on my hair extensions & overall beauty look!! My Bridesmaid's were very pleased with their looks also. 😍 My wedding day was so very special. I received the cutest touch up bag from Ashley & her professionalism is top notch! She was always on time. Thank you!!

Ashley was everything I could have dreamed of for my wedding day! She was very responsive to all my questions. Helped me figure out the look I wanted, and worked with me to really bring my vision for hair and makeup together. She made getting ready fun and light and would definitely recommend her to anyone on their special day!

This crew definitely cares about its clientele. I highly recommend this service to anyone LGBTQ+ or otherwise. They work with you so well and listen to what you have to say. My vision was definitely brought to life by them!!

We worked with Ashley and her wonderful team for our two bride wedding. We truly loved working with everyone on their team - they were true experts and professionals that made our wedding day a breeze. A few reasons we'd HIGHLY recommend working with the Stylist Abroad: 1) Their organization is impeccable! Ashley was such a valued resource for us as we worked to finesse a schedule that involved more than 30 services (we actually hold their record for the largest number of services lol) and trying to not force folks to get up too early. 2) All of our hair and make up artists did an amazing job and were such joys to work with! Shout out to Gabriela and Asia who did our bridal hair and makeup and Kim and Jenna who did an amazing job with the other members of our bridal party. 3) Our bridal party involved folks with a variety of skin tones and gender expressions that have had issues with hair and makeup artists in the past. We were so impressed with the Stylist Abroad's team's commitment to ensuring they had the skills to make everyone feel beautiful and authentic. We cannot recommend them enough! Thank you Stylist Abroad team for being so wonderful!!

I cannot say enough great things about working with The Stylist Abroad. Ashley was extremely responsive and very easy to work with. Jenna was absolutely amazing with our makeup for myself (the bride), the bridesmaids, and my mother-in-law. Everyone’s makeup looked beautiful; she was very attentive to all of the details and taking into account our personalities and makeup styles. I really appreciated this as I do not wear makeup on a daily basis. She was also a lifesaver, helping to fix my unruly tan lines from the summer. Asia was also amazing to work with for our hair and she did it all beautifully. Asia and Jenna were very friendly and very efficient; they were always on-time and ensured that our morning prep ran smoothly.

Cannot say enough good things about Ashley and her team, led by Kim and Aida. They were so professional, on time, extremely responsive to emails, and very flexible with changes -- basically right up until the week of the event. Absolutely loved working with them and would recommend them without hesitation. They made me feel extremely beautiful!

I had my wedding trial with Asia. I have curly hair and wanted a style that I really couldn't find any pictures of online or on Pinterest. Asia tried a couple different looks, and was SOOOO talented. The day of, the assistant that came was also phenomenal. All my bridesmaids hair was amazing and I would absolutely use The Stylist Abroad again!

Ashley did such a good job with giving me the exact look I was going for with my hair and makeup. Even down to the placements of my pearl pins were amazing. My bridesmaids loved their hair and even on a super windy outdoor wedding, our hair held up so good. Not only did she help with all the beautifications but she was so professional and insightful. My wedding morning was very hectic but if one thing is for sure once I started to get my hair and makeup done I became so calm knowing that I was in good hands with Ashley. Out of all the vendors she was one of the most, if not the most help I received and I highly recommend her.

When looking for a hairstylist for my wedding, I was utterly overwhelmed. I didn't have a local connection and was dreading ending up with Alabama Pagent hair, and I'm beyond grateful to write that didn't happen. I knew we had found the perfect match when we found The Stylist Abroad. Ashley was beyond amazing to work with! She was upfront about the price, the timeline of what we wanted for our day, and how we could best work together. Ashley was a fantastic communicator but an even better hairstylist. On our wedding day, I had two bridal party members, my sweet 82-year-old Nana and myself, who needed their hair done. Ashley was on time and hit the ground running! Each of my bridesmaids loved how their hair looked. My hair was perfect, exactly what I wanted for my wedding. And Ashley made sure my Nana felt glamorous. Ashley is incredibly talented, and it showed in each up do! I can't recommend Ashley & The Stylist Abroad enough! She made the morning of our wedding easy and fun!

I am so happy with my decision to partner with The Stylist Abroad for my wedding in Washington, D.C. Coordinating logistics with owner Ashley was a breeze! I needed several trials because I couldn’t quite make up my mind, and Ashley was communicative, helpful and understanding every step of the way. On my wedding day, the stylists — Jenna, Michelle and Gabriela — went above and beyond to make every member of my bridal party look and feel amazing. Everyone picked their own hair & makeup styles, and Jenna, Michelle and Gabriela were able to execute each request flawlessly. Our looks stayed put all through the night, and the touch-up kit they provided was much-appreciated. I loved being able to support a truly inclusive business, and I would highly recommend The Stylist Abroad to anyone looking for hair & makeup services.

The Stylist Abroad did hair styling for our wedding in October 2022. Ashley responded promptly to our inquiry and all follow up emails. Guides and info about how to prep for the trial and day of were provided, as well as a schedule for the day of the wedding. Ashley arrived on time, stayed on schedule and did a great job with everyone's hair. Would absolutely use her again!

I loved working with Ashley Peters! Her technique is elite and I love how she listens to her clients. We had a test trial and I did not like the way my bun looked. I showed her another inspiration photo and she took my feedback and turned it into reality! I loved my bohemian braid and how it has so much texture and volume. My sister had the big Hollywood waves and looked so classic. My moms bun was so elegant and stayed up the entire night! Would 10/10 recommend Ashley for your wedding hair!

The Stylist Abroad provided hair and make up services for my wedding in December 2023. Ashley, owner, was easy to get in touch with and provided clear pricing expectations. She set me up with my hair and make up artist, Katelyn, who provided my actual beauty services. The Stylist Abroad values inclusiveness and diversity, which is a big part of what drew me to them. Katelyn and Ashley were both very professional, prepared, and easy to work with. Katelyn's actual beauty services left me and my bridal party feeling gorgeous, confident, and ready for hours and hours of dancing. She was punctual, sweet, funny, talented, and knew exactly what I was asking for. 5/5 stars, book them today!!

Ashley was absolutely amazing! She was so great to work with and made sure every detail was perfect for all 6 of my bridesmaids, my mom, and myself! I appreciated her responsiveness and recommendations while figuring out exactly what hairstyle I wanted for my wedding! Ashley's energy was also a huge help with my hyper-critical bridesmaids who needed multiple finishing touches!

Ashley was great to work with for setting up the HMUA team. She quickly responded to all my questions and requests and made the process clear. Our HMUA (Gabriela and Asia) knocked it out of the park! Our glam held the entire day and night. My wedding party loved that they looked like themselves and felt so beautiful and confident. The team was professional and organized - we even ran ahead of schedule!

Ashley is amazing! She is quick to respond, personable, and understanding. Gabriela and Michelle were prompt, friendly, and very talented. They took away so much day of stress from my wedding day. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

From my first call with Ashley to the beautiful work of Michelle, I am so thankful for the Stylist Abroad team! Ashley was so friendly and knowledgeable in my intro phone call. She was able to answer questions I had about using cultural hairpieces for my Indian fusion wedding. Michelle was wonderful and flexible for my trial, being super patient while we perfected my look and offering great suggestions on adaptations and hair pieces. She made me feel so fancy and beautiful for my wedding day. They also proactively coordinated with my makeup artist which was SUPER nice for a busy bride! I LOVE how the Stylist Abroad team truly leads with their values. They are inclusive, culturally responsive, and thoughtful in their in-person and social media approach. I could not be happier that they were involved in my special day.

Ashley was phenomenal! She did both my hair and make up day of, and captured the look I wanted perfectly. She also made sure I was comfortable throughout, including things as small as asking if I wanted my freckles to show rather than making the decision for me. I wanted to have a more fantasy/forest leaning wedding, and she didn't even bat an eye at that request. The makeup was gorgeous and stayed put the entire night. My hair was tamed, curled, and stayed styled even though it was half down and I danced plenty through the night. Everything was wonderful, efficient, and thoughtful.

I used The Stylist Abroad for hair and makeup services for my wedding day and could not have been happier! Ashley was always very responsive and honest and was an amazing vendor to work with. Our stylist Jazmine was perfect in every way and was able to style all the hair and makeup for my entire bridal party, including the curly girls like myself! Would absolutely recommend them in a heartbeat!

The Stylist Abroad team was so amazing to work with! From the beginning I could tell that they care about their clients AND potential clients, which speaks volume. The entire process went so smoothly. I can't thank Katelyn enough for making my girls and me look so beautiful on my wedding day!

I researched several companies before selecting someone for my bridal makeup and hands down, I made the best decision! Our stylist, Ariana, was super personable and professional! I love the air brush makeup, the quality products she used was outstanding, everyone who got their makeup done looked fabulous and it felt so light on. They make traveling to our location easy and feel hassle free. I had my trail done at a different place than where we got ready for the ceremony and both times Ariana was early and adapted easily to the space available.

First, I want to say that the communication with Ashley and transparency and timeline was amazing. I think the pricing was fair for onsite services. My concerns with with the actual artists on the day. I think Michelle (hairdresser) was very sweet and lovely, but inexperienced and did not deliver on what was asked. I ended up doing a second hair trial (which Ashley did not charge me for, gratefully) because the first trial, my hair fell out within 1 hour of leaving. However, the actual hair I ended up with on my wedding day was more secure but looked like the first trial--- it didn't have the right braids, twists, volume and had way more 'wispies'. I was a bit stressed and pressed for time and didn't really look at my hair before I started getting dressed and it wasn't until later that I realized it wasn't what I wanted. I keep looking at my pictures a little disappointed and feeling less than really really beautiful. The hair bun thing she put in for volume was also exposed and my bridemaids had to fix it before and after pictures so this weird bun thing wouldn't show. In addition, most of my bridesmaids did not like their hair. They would show a picture and she would just do something pretty different from what was shown. I know you can't always do exactly what was in the picture, but if the picture has soft curls and you end up giving them a 1/2 updo... or the picture has two braids and you give one tiny, loose braid... those aren't similar. I know a few of my girls asked for changes, but we were on tight timeline. The assistant, Gabriella, was more responsive to hair and inspiration. Jenna the makeup artist did a good job. I do wish she would have had the red lip at the trial, because it ended up being brighter than I would have liked and matte- which I would have preferred shiny. Once again, pressed for time, she just put on the lip, handed it to me and I left, there were no red lip options. I ended up using my own red lipstick later in the night. I also want to note that a few of the girls makeup easily melted after pictures. It seemed mine was the only one that was well set. Overall, I think Stylist Abroad has a bunch of different stylists and is a good, really kind company. I might recommend the company rank the Stylists on experience or give SPECIFIC portfolios to allow brides to pick who their stylists are based on who is available. Maybe "master" stylists cost more, but gives more transparency.

This is long overdue, but as I’ve been attending weddings after our own I’ve been reflecting on how I’m so glad our planner recommend The Stylist Abroad after my original vendor closed her business during the pandemic. The business itself is progressive and aligns with all the values that are important to me. Michelle was the most wonderful stylist. I did not have a traditional bridal party, so she created unique looks for my friends and family. They all looked stunning! She even stayed late when we asked for her help putting flowers in the flower girl’s hair. That was totally above and beyond, but she said she was happy to do it. Professional and considerate to the max!

This company is so professional and so fun to work with! I loved the way my hair and makeup looked at my wedding. Michelle was able to secure a beautiful hair piece and style my hair exactly as I had described. Jenna was equally talented and provided a natural makeup look that I was hoping for. My mothers make up and hair was also done really well. I love their inclusive mission and would recommend to anyone looking for a makeup artist in the DMV area.

When looking for someone to trust with my wedding and and makeup look, The Stylist Abroad team came highly recommended- but I could not have imagined how wonderful the experience would have been! From first glance at the website and instagram page for The Stylist Abroad, I was drawn to how much LGBTQIA and diverse representation was present in the pictures and posts. And as simple as it sounds, I loved that the inquiry form asks about preferred pronouns. I was also super impressed that they used vegan and cruelty free products! In my first conversation with Ashley, I could see how much she cared about giving each person a wonderful wedding experience that matches their style. After we talked about my style, Ashley was able to find a set of beautiful moon and star hair pieces that perfectly accessorized my updo. Ashley is also very responsive, which was crucial with our short timeline. For the trial and our wedding day, I worked with Katelyn and she is such a talented and wonderful person! Katelyn asked a couple questions about how I pictured my wedding day look and she brought my vision to life. She accentuated all of my favorite features. I felt glamorous and got so many compliments! As amazing as Katelyn’s skill was, the best part was how relaxed and special she made me feel. In all of the wedding day craziness, Katelyn created a peaceful environment and I was able to unwind, chat, and even have some good laughs that helped me get into the perfect mindset to absorb the beauty of the rest of the day.

Michelle and Asia are top notch! We had 11 bridesmaids, sisters, and mothers to glam up the day of, and they were both efficient, professional, and SO talented! From a low chignon for me (bride), to romantic braids, ponytails, hair down in curls for my bridesmaids, or working to create a sleek and chic look for my mom, they were able to envision it and deliver. We actually ran ahead of schedule and their relaxing demeanor helped to make the whole getting ready experience a blast!

Ashley and her team were the best choice for our wedding day! They were so skilled, and everyone’s hair on the day of the wedding looked stunning and held up through alllll the dancing. Above all, Ashley is thoughtful and kind, and I was so thankful to work with her throughout the whole wedding process. She even followed up with me after the wedding day about some products we had chatted about!! If you are thinking of booking for your wedding or special event, you just won’t find better!

If you're looking for the most amazing hairstylist for your next big event, look no further. Ashley is absolutely outstanding! Not only is she tremendously talented but she is the sweetest person. I went to Ashley for my wedding hair and I couldn't be more pleased with the outcome. She took my inspiration pictures and gave me something even better than what I could have imagined. She's so easy to work with and truly understands styling. I can't recommend her enough.

Ashely was super communicative during the initial conversations prior to booking. She was pleasant, prompt at responding, professional, and helpful. Michelle was my stylist and was kind, professional, and super helpful during my trial and day of the wedding to help me nail my dream look! I'm so happy with Michelle's beautiful work for the bridal party, my mom, and my wedding day hair. Thank you so much for everything!!

Ashley was AMAZING. We had a trial, and I ended up changing the style I wanted for my wedding a couple weeks later, and she was still able to create the exact look I had envisioned in my head. She was able to work with my textured hair to effortlessly. She also styled my sisters hair and somehow made us all have so much volume. Not to mention that my hair looked flawless even tho I danced for hours! One more thing, she is the kindest person, she is so inclusive and supportive of her clients no matter who they are! 100/10 would recommend!!

I had the pleasure of working with The Stylist Abroad for my wedding on 11.6 and I wouldn't have wanted to work with anyone else. From the trial (2 years ago, thanks to covid) to the day of the wedding, The Stylist Abroad was accommodating, helpful, responsive, professional and purely amazing. I changed my mind multiple times on hair style and Ashley was there to answer questions and talk through them with me. Michelle was my actual hair stylist and my hair was perfect and stayed perfect the entire night. All of my bridesmaids loved their hair as well and came out how they wanted! Michelle and Sarah did everything from curls, to kids up dos, to funky braids. If you are looking for a hair stylist for your wedding, look no further! 100000/10!! Thank you for being apart of my special day and making my hair pinterest worthy!

Ashley was perfect! She helped me choose the perfect hair style for my wedding when I had no idea what I wanted. And my hair was perfect all night long. She did a fantastic job on my bridesmaids hair, too! She was super responsive and organized, which really helped as I was planning the final details for the wedding. Highly recommend!

I loved working with this team! Ashley was really responsive to my emails and was easy to work with. She answered all my questions and helped me through the process. Scheduling and planning was easy. The best part though, is that the work was great! My hair was amazing and my makeup was flawless. I haven't gotten our professional photos yet, but it's so wonderful to look at guest photos & think, I LOOK SO GOOD! Sarah had really pretty pins to put in my half updo, which I wasn't expecting, but were really elegant and nice and made my hair even prettier. She did wonderful work on my bridesmaids too. Jenna did an amazing job with my makeup, for me and my bridesmaids. I cannot say enough good things about these women. They are professional, responsive, and really good at what they do. And, they were just fun to have in the room while we were getting ready. Highly recommend!

Ashley worked wonders for my hair! I switched it up the day of vs what we did at the trail and she was fantastic! She nailed it first try!

We had a wonderful experience with The Stylist Abroad.  Sarah, our stylist, was prompt (arriving early on the day), very kind, and warm.  Our schedule of brides and bridesmaids ran smoothly and on schedule.  And WOW did everyone's hair turn out beautifully!  Both brides received overwhelming compliments on our hairstyles, and all our bridesmaids' hairstyles also looked stunning.  Sarah was also able to creatively and beautifully work in a hair vine in one of the brides' (very long) hair, and the result was gorgeous.  All throughout the day Sarah was just so pleasant and easygoing and made everyone feel at home through the whole hair process.  We picked The Stylist Abroad in part because of their commitment to LGBTQ+ inclusion and they lived up to it - we felt completely at ease and comfortable as a queer couple in all our interactions with both Ashley and Sarah. We highly recommend The Stylist Abroad!

The stylist aboard was recommended tour by our makeup artist, and we are glad that we went with them. Ashley the owner is organized, responsive and was flexible in rescheduling a full year due to COVID. Our stylist Michelle was able to complete 6 formal hair dos at each bridal party members request, that lasted the entire evening. They were not local to the Southern, MD area, but had reasonable travel fees. I would recommend them to anyone in the Maryland area!

The entire Stylist Abroad team was great to work with! Ashley is so responsive and managed all of the last minute details with style and grace. Day of hair preparations were relaxed and not stressful at all. I can not thank the team enough! All my bridal party loved their hair and we got a ton of complements! It was a hot hot day and many guests were surprised and jealous of our frizz control :)

I could not have pictured a more perfect makeup look than what Olivia gave me. She was so incredibly professional, every single one of my girls looked stunning. She is truly a master at what she does. Her knowledge of her craft is beyond impressive. She takes pride in every single look she creates. Everyone raved about how stunning every bridal party member looked. My day would not have been as perfect without her

Was able to accommodate my wedding last minute and was such a blessing! Ashley did my hair, my moms hair, and my mother in laws hair. My hair was great and stayed in place all day. My mom and mother in law also loved their hair. She also left a touch up kit with me in case I needed it. Would highly recommend!

I had a trial before finding Stylist Abroad and was devastated on how far from what I envisioned the trial turned out. When I explained this to Sarah R., she truly brought my vision come true in. She truly listened what I wanted in having a high bun but having it simple and clean. During the actual wedding day, Sarah R. did a truly amazing job! I had her actually cut some lengths on the side to get some cute curls on the side. This is how much I TRUSTED her. She also did 4 bridesmaids and they all turned out amazing! Everyone's hair lasted all night long and nothing felt out of place! I cannot recommend The Stylist Abroad for anyone's wedding! They are truly professional, creative, and made everyone feel beautiful!

Ashley was everything I could have asked for and more for my wedding hair. Unfortunately, my hair person cancelled 2 months before my wedding. Ashley was able to work around my schedule since the wedding was not where I live to schedule a trial and help me feel comfortable. When I told her I was concerned about my fine hair staying up all day, she told me exactly how she would keep it from falling, and it was perfect. Every other person I talked to just said, “we’ll make it stay.” Ashley is organized, timely, and professional as well. I highly recommend her.

When I had originally reached out to Ashley, she was booked for my wedding date, but what I didn't realize is that she has other stylists that work with her which made the process seamless. Michelle became my stylist and she was so easy going and calm which is exactly what you want surrounding you on your wedding day. Ashley was still my point of contact and I can't thank her enough for her prompt responses and support. I was ultimately a COVID bride and had to postpone my original 2020 wedding date to 2021. Ashley was flexible and understanding through that unexpected journey of changes.

Not only was my hair absolutely perfect for my wedding day, Ashley was also the sweetest woman ever. I ripped one of my contacts and didn’t have any extra... she had the same prescription as me and gave me not one but TWO extra contacts. If it weren’t for her saving the day, my wedding would’ve been a blurry mess in my eyes. Also, we had some wedding party drama and had to swap out a girl that was supposed to get her hair done by her and Ashley was happy to accommodate anything we needed. She also even gave some helpful advice on the wedding party drama. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!

Ashely was a dream to work with from start and I couldn’t recommend her enough. Ashley is professional, prompt, and down to earth. During my trial, Ashley took the time to understand my vision and went above and beyond what I had envisioned. I also chose to add extensions to my hair and Ashley made the process seamless by finding the perfect color match and ordering the extensions which took so much stress off of me! Ashley's communication was excellent and she made sure to keep in touch with me throughout the wedding planning process. Day of, Ashley arrived on time and stayed on schedule. I was provided with the cutest touch-up bag with bobby pins and hairspray but didn’t even need to use it! The products she used did an amazing job keeping my hair in place during my wedding and when it came time to take my hair out, it felt so soft!

After several failed trials, I was getting worried about finding someone who could help bring my vision to life for my wedding. Ashley's team, specifically Sarah R. and Whitney, were INCREDIBLE to work with!! Ashley coordinated everything seamlessly. Sarah was able to bring my vision to life during my trial, and TRULY listened to me and my concerns. They were extremely attentive and were able to produce - especially as I was concerned keeping a veil in my hair (which they came up with creative ideas that WORKED). I could not have been happier and highly recommend working with the Stylist Abroad!!

I am so thrilled with The Stylist Abroad and would highly recommend them for anyone's event! They were safe during COVID, accommodating to our schedule, and provided quality service (our hair didn't fall out ALL DAY)! Couldn't have asked for a more enjoyable company to work with for hair for my big day!

I could not have been happier with Ashley as my hair stylist! She was excellent at communicating and sent me a sample schedule soon after booking her for the big day along with a checklist. I had my hair trial about a month before the wedding and loved the outcome of it. I stuck with the style for the day of and she recreated it perfectly! All of my bridesmaids loved their hair styled by either Ashley or Sarah (her assistant) or a combination of the two. They also styled both my mother and my mother in law and they loved their hair styles as well! Definitely highly recommend booking The Stylist Abroad for any wedding!

100% love The Stylist Abroad! Ashley, the owner, was very prompt and friendly with responses and made everything easy on my end. My hair stylist, Sarah R., was amazing and was loved by me and all of my bridesmaids. My now husband commented that he loved my hair as he has never seen it done up that way and that it looked beautiful. It is what ever bride wants to hear! My FAVORITE part about my hair is that the next day hair (after taking out all of the bobby pins) was soft! Whatever product she used did not cause my hair to be stiff and it still smelled lovely. Would recommend everything about this company.

Ashley/The Stylist Abroad (“Ashley”) was fantastic. My hair trial in January went great and I honestly thought she was terrific and that she really knew what she was doing. I basically showed her some inspirational Pinterest photos and then she did her magic. I decided to add extensions about a month before my wedding and it was the best decision I could have made. The extension option does cost more, but it is more than worth it. COVID-19 put a load of extra stress on me and my now husband, but Ashley helped by not adding to that stress. Her communication prior to 10.10.2020 was excellent. And on the morning of 10.10.2020 she and my makeup artist were more than instrumental in making me and my bridesmaids feel pampered and beautiful. All of us had the best morning cause we were able to relax, enjoy, and have some fun before the smaller, socially distanced ceremony. My husband and I are planning a larger vow renewal for next year to include everyone we couldn’t have this year due to COVID-19 and I wouldn’t hesitate to ask her again for her availability.

The Stylist Abroad team was responsive, thoughtful, and punctual — and they did a fantastic job with my hair, it looked beautiful and held up all night. They were so easy to work with and I’d recommend them to others.

Working with Ashley was absolutely wonderful. She transformed a mood board of hair styles into the perfect look for an intimate wedding and the perfect look for my face shape, and hair texture too! Her and her team are responsive and quick to offer advice, support and guidance. I can't wait to work with them again!

Ashley and Michelle were so easy going and flexible to work with under an extremely short time frame and in the middle of COVID. I’ve been a bridesmaid a LOT so when I got to be a bride I really wanted someone who would do an amazing job for me and all my girls. Michelle didn’t disappoint! Loved my hair and I have really curly hair but she smoothed it out and it stayed smooth ALL night. Humidity was 88%!

Ashley was amazing! I have curly hair and was so nervous to find someone who was good with working with curls and Ashley was perfect from start to finish. I felt like she actually listened well to what I wanted and didn't try to straighten out my curls. She was great with all of her COVID safety procedures. She answered all my questions and concerns with care. She was kind and helpful with last minute changes that come with planning a wedding in a Pandemic time. She helped make me, my bridesmaids and the moms feel beautiful.

Ashley was AMAZING! I tend to be a perfectionist so it was extremely comforting to know I was in such great hands! Ashley made the process stress-free and maintained great communication throughout, including periodic check-ins and suggestions. She offers a trial, which was super helpful to help me decide what look I wanted. She was able to combine ideas from two different looks I found off pinterest and create my dream updo! Not only is she a gifted and creative stylist, she is so personal and fun to be around! My wedding party and I had a blast getting ready with her the morning of my wedding! She also took the time to pamper each one of my bridesmaids and give them their dream hair as well! I would also like to commend her for being timely, professional, and prepared! This girl has her routine perfected down to a science! Given how frizzy and curly my hair is naturally, I was AMAZED at how great my hair still looked after my outdoor wedding in 95 degrees! She worked magic! I was so impressed with the quality of products that she used and the final outcome! I could not be more thankful that I decided to use The Stylist Abroad!

Ashley is an incredible stylist and I found her and Stylist Abroad through a recommendation for a curly hair stylist! We did a trial and she was totally cool and understanding when I went in thinking I wanted one look and ended up with something very different, and was SO professional and understanding about the change of date for my wedding due to COVID. Zero stress. I eloped on my original wedding date and was going back and forth about asking her to do my hair for my private ceremony with just my fiancé and photographer, and was SO happy that I did. Not only did I feel like a bride again when she came over at practically the crack of dawn to do my hair in my apartment, but looking at the sneak peek photos of my elopement, her work on my hair completed my elopement look. I wanted a "me, but better" vibe, and she sure did that. Thank you, Ashley. Excited to keep in touch for next year for the big party. :)

Ashley did a fantastic job on my hair for my wedding day!! She was able to create the exact hairstyle I wanted, and was able to made the adjustments I wanted in the trial. Just an overall great experience! Would recommend her to anyone!!

My bridal party and I felt so lucky to have had Ashley and her assistant Michelle there to get us ready for my wedding day! They took each of our visions for hairstyles and turned it into a reality. Ashley used extensions and worked with a few different hair textures throughout the day and everything turned out beautifully. Ashley provided me with the cutest little touch up bag with bobby pins and hair spray. My hair stayed perfectly throughout the day, I didn't even need it! But it was the perfect extra thing to throw in my bag on the honeymoon. Thank you so much Ashley and Michelle! Our day would not have been the same without you!

I only had four weeks between the time I moved to Virginia and my wedding day in order to find a hair stylist. Ashley not only responded quickly to my many questions, but she squeezed me in for a trial before the wedding. Ashley did wonderful work AND she was able to come early in the morning! It was very, very windy the day of my wedding, though my veil went soaring multiple times, the hairstyle itself held true for 17 hours.

Ashley was absolutely fantastic to work with! I had a trial before my wedding. On the big day she took into account all of my feedback from the trial and my hair looked amazing! Ashley arrived on time the day of the wedding and stayed on schedule so I was ready to go by the time my photographer requested. By the end of the night not a single pin was out of place in my up-do. I was able to switch out my veil to a different hair accessory without anything about the style shifting or coming undone.

I can’t say enough good things about The Stylist Abroad! Ashley and her assistant were PHENOMENAL! I had 10 bridesmaids and was worried that it would be difficult to pull off that many hairstyles in 5 hours! It was like magic watching the speed and ease at which they worked. It was effortless. My bridesmaids had varying hair lengths, thickness and textures and each asked for a different hairstyle. Ashley and her stylist didn’t skip a beat and each hair style was equally as beautiful. Additionally, I absolutely LOVED my wedding hair— I got so many compliments! During the hair trial, Ashley was able to replicate the picture I brought in and we made adjustments based on my preferences. Ashley was also able to beautifully weave in my hair piece. She was professional and an absolute pleasure to work with. I can’t recommend her enough! I would choose her again in a heartbeat.

Ashley is a highly personable, professional, and artistic hair stylist. She is able to take any description (or in my case, a whole jumbled mess of ideas and pinterest images) and turn it into the perfect hair style for the big day!

Ashley was incredible to work with from beginning to end! From the start, during my trial appointment, I felt at ease with her. She was relaxed and listened to what I was envisioning my hair to look like for my wedding day. She managed to take my short, fine, and thin hair and sweep it into this beautiful updo. I still to this day don't know how she managed to do this, but it was all I needed to convince me that she was the one that I needed to entrust to do my hair for my big day. Even after our trial, we would correspond via text whenever I had questions about extensions, my hairpiece, etc. On my wedding day, Ashley brought a sense of calm to the room. She was flexible with her setup station and immediately got started. She not only did my hair, but she did my sister and niece's hair, both of which looked beautiful. For my hair, we started by reviewing what we had discussed during my trial session to make sure we were still on the same page. From there, she managed to create what I can only describe as the most regal looking updo. I can't begin to express how grateful I am to her for helping to make me look and feel my absolute best on my wedding day. I would, without hesitation, recommend her to any future brides.

HANDS. DOWN. THE. BEST. Ashley is incredibly talented at what she does and it shows, every single time she does my hair. I always have the BEST experience with her. She takes the time to take care of you, from start to finish. I wont use any other stylist, because The Stylist Abroad is the best of the best ♡ So thankful for Ashley and the magic she performs on my hair !!
