Brittany and Dee from Society 11:11 Hair & Makeup were absolutely wonderful to work with for our wedding day. From our first communication, they were friendly, warm, and very responsive, taking the time to understand exactly what we were looking for. On the day of, they were incredibly patient and adaptable as I had made major changes (cut all of my hair off and changed the style). My hair and makeup looked natural, and they worked collaboratively with me to bring my vision to life. My partner was glowing! They were also right on time and shared their schedules with us and our wedding party, which helped keep the whole day relaxed and on schedule. We couldn't have asked for a better beauty team to be a part of our special day. Highly recommend!

Renee Doorly 

5.0

  • Starts at $400
  • Serves Chester, VA

I am a freelance hair and makeup artist offering on-site bridal hairstyling and makeup. My artistic approach stems from my time studying painting at VCU Arts. I’ve learned so much in my 6 years doing bridal styling and have loved every minute. From in-person and online workshops to learn from other artists in my community, I am always picking up new techniques and finding new inspiration. My style is natural but elevated. I love texture and romance.

I am so glad I used Renee as my hair and make-up artist for our wedding day. From the initial consultation to the final touch-up, the entire experience was nothing short of perfection. I asked her to change some things from the hair and make-up trail on our wedding day and she nailed it. I felt absolutely stunning but also still felt like I looked like myself. My hair and makeup were flawless and lasted throughout the entire celebration, despite the humidity and dancing. Renee is warm, kind and so calm – the exact person you want to spend a huge chunk of time with on your wedding day. Renee also did the mother of the bride, mother of the groom and maid of honor’s hair. They all loved their hair and felt so pretty. I highly recommend Renee to any bride looking for a stress-free, high-quality experience that ensures you look your absolute best on your special day!

I’m Kristin Mastrangelo, (go head, try it out…it’s easier than it looks), a makeup & hair artist who specializes in wedding, special event, & television artistry, spending most of my time trying to think of PC ways to avoid putting on “real” pants.

I can’t speak highly enough about Alaina. From booking to the wedding day, she was phenomenal. She started with a questionnaire to discuss my vision, skincare, and what makeup I currently the use. The trial was so much FUN and she took everything I said into consideration. Come the wedding day, she made all of my bridesmaids feel so comfortable. I had girls who like heavy makeup, girls who like minimal, and everything in between. She accommodated everyone’s needs and my friends have never looked more beautiful! As for my makeup, my skin has never looked so flawless! All night everyone commented on my makeup, saying it was pristine. It lasted all through the night. Photos, dinner, and TONS of dancing, everything stayed perfectly. She even gave us little touch up kits and straws so we wouldn’t mess up our lips. Thank you, Alaina, for making me feel so beautiful on my wedding day!

Thank you for considering me to be part of your big day! With 14+ years of experience, I’ve seen (and tamed) it all. If you need someone to keep your hair flawless through happy tears, epic dance moves, and maybe one too many champagne toasts—I’m your girl. I travel far and wide to make sure brides look like royalty. Think of me as your fairy hair godmother—except with a curling iron instead of a wand, making sure you’re stunning well past the afterparty. My goal?

Bianca is incredibly talented and just the best! She did the makeup for my May 2024 Indian fusion wedding (both for my wedding day and my Sangeet), and I could not have felt more beautiful. Something that was incredibly important to me when deciding on a MUA was finding an artist that is well experienced with a variety of skin tones. Bianca absolutely killed it while doing a variety of different looks. Leading up to my wedding, I went to Bianca for a few facials. The actual experience of the facial was so relaxing, and my skin was so hydrated and glowing leading up to my wedding. After my wedding, I also asked Bianca if she could do a makeup class for me. She had made me feel truly so beautiful (but still like myself). The class made makeup approachable for someone who has very limited makeup experience. She was SO thorough afterwards in all the materials she sent me with instructions and products listed to be able to recreate the looks we went over. I cannot recommend Bianca enough for all of her services!!

I could not say enough positive things about Adorn Salon for wedding hair and makeup. They transformed me into a blonde barbie doll and I had guests saying weeks after the wedding that they were amazed out how my hair stayed so curled and my makeup stayed on so perfectly the entire night. I had a trial and completely changed my hair for the wedding day and Holly was super flexible with the change and did not mind. I had 12 bridesmaids who all had different hair colors/types and skin tones and they transformed every single one of them and they all looked incredible and were very happy with the final outcome. I will posts more photos once I get them from my photographer! Highly recommend and I can't wait to use them for haircuts/dyes in the future.

From the hotel room to our 3am iHop run, my hair lasted the entire day. Serena has magic for hands, and she truly worked her magic on my wedding day. I felt so safe in her chair because I knew that she was incredible. When she emailed me that my wedding date was still open, I booked as soon as I could. Her work truly speaks for itself. Along with myself, she did two of my bridesmaids hair- one with brides and one without extensions (both are shown in the pictures). I couldn’t recommend Serena more.

From a young age she knew she wanted to work in the beauty industry & followed her dreams by receiving her cosmetology license & attending the master class at the prestigious Make Up For Ever Academy in NYC. Working with brides has brought Christine so much joy, being involved in such an important part of someone’s life long memories is more than just makeup. Wedding days pass in the blink of an eye but the way you felt, and the photos you hang on your walls, will last a life time.

LOOK NO FURTHER, CHRISTINE IS THE ABSOLUTE BEST!!! I feel so lucky to have found Christine for my wedding makeup because she was everything I was looking for and more! I did a makeup trial with someone else that went terribly and was scrambling to find a new makeup artist less than two months before my wedding. I am truly so grateful I found Christine. Her talent speaks for itself, just check out her Instagram page (https://www.instagram.com/christinecouturecormier/). I had my first video consultation with Christine the day after I found her, and we discussed what went wrong with the first person and what I was hoping to achieve for my wedding day look. Not only was it clear that she knew what I was looking for, but she also had amazing ideas about the entire makeup experience on my wedding day that I hadn’t even thought of. Your makeup artist is SO important because you’ll have these photos forever and they’re the first vendor you interact with so they help set the mood for the day. Christine was an incredible presence the whole time she was there. She and the second makeup artist Lindsey made me and my entire bridal party look and feel amazing! Christine made incredible content with me and my bridal party and she was also there for my first look. She was the perfect calming presence I needed for the most exciting but stressful moment of the day. She helped fluff my dress and took photos and videos I was able to have immediately after the first look. You want to feel confident that your makeup artist is going to make you look and feel amazing, and I promise you can trust Christine with that! My guests were raving about my makeup! I felt done up and more special than my everyday makeup, but I still felt and looked like myself. Also the makeup lasted all night long! She is worth every single penny!! If you pick Christine to be your makeup artist you will not regret it!

I highly recommend Artistry by Marquita! My wedding makeup, created by Marquita, was absolutely beautiful but didn't turn me into someone unrecognizable. During the trial run, the hair stylist, Mona, took my vague description of "Game of Thrones but maybe a bit Jane Austen?" and gave me a gorgeous braided updo. On the wedding day, Marquita and Mona arrived on time and finished hair and makeup for me and the ladies in our wedding party (who also looked fabulous) with time to spare. They were kind, responsive, and collaborative throughout. It was great to work with both of them and I recommend them wholeheartedly.
