Professional Bridal Makeup Artist & Hair Stylist Bringing Beauty & Luxury to Central VA & Beyond 5 Years of Professional Experience, Licensed, & Insured! Welcome to my world of beauty! I'm Jessica Mikuen, a fully certified hair and makeup artist serving the Central Virginia area and beyond with a passion for creating stunning looks that bring out the best in my clients. I use every client's natural beauty to create beautiful and enhancing looks to help them radiate confidence!

Jessica was referred to me by our wedding coordinator, Katelyn from Champagne Wishes. After talking with Jessica through a phone call and reviewing her work online. I selected her services for my wedding hair/ makeup and also used her services for my bridesmaids as well. We were planning a destination wedding from Texas and Jessica was able to coordinate a time with me when I was in town to do a hair/ makeup trial. She was accommodating to try a couple hair styles on me and we selected one. The day of my wedding she brought an assistant with her, per my request to do makeup for the bridesmaids while Jessica did everyone's hair and my makeup as well. They showed up early and ready to work! Everyone was happy with their hair and makeup. When it came to my hair, Jessica did exactly what I wanted and worked in some comments from my trial a few weeks back. My makeup also turned out perfect. Hair and makeup finished on schedule which was super important for the photos and all to start. My hair and makeup lasted the whole day, even with the late August humidity and storms later that evening. I would highly recommend Jessica for hair/ makeup.

Their communication was consistently open, clear, and timely throughout the planning process, which I really appreciated during this hectic time. On the big day, they paid such close attention to detail ensuring everyone looked polished, yet natural. They used clean and professional techniques and products that photographed beautifully.

I wanted a nice natural looking glow for my wedding day—nothing too dark or “fake” looking. Blaire chose the perfect color for my skin and it made me feel so confident and beautiful on my wedding day! When I booked the appointment, she sent me pre-treatment care to follow so that I would have the most even tan. During the spray tan, I felt so comfortable in front of her and she walked me through every step of the way. At the end, she applied delicious scented powder to keep my tan even and reviewed the post-care instructions with me. The next day, she checked in with me to make sure everything was perfect—which it was. I couldn’t have been more pleased with my tan. I’ve had spray tans in the past that had a funny smell too and this spray tan did not. It also didn’t rub off/transfer into my wedding dress which was something I was worried may happen. 10/10 would recommend a spray tan from Blaire for your big day!

Let’s chat! I love chatting…it’s totally my favorite! 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’m a wife of 15 years & momster of 4. Obsessed with heavy metal, tea, all black everything, horror movies all the time, a creature of the night. I hate being late. Personally, I believe everyone should be at least a little weird...normal is a setting on a dryer...so embrace you, be different, and do what you want.

If I could give more stars I would! Kristin was such a treat to work with. Not only does she do an AMAZING job with makeup, she is honestly such a sweet person. She made the day even more special and I was honored to have her a part of it. She was kind and sweet and open to ideas. Everyone in my family loved her. Makeup wise, she is awesome! My makeup stayed on all day! We got married in Luray Caverns and took photos by the willow trees, it was hot but the makeup stayed on and still looked amazing. If you need a makeup artist for your big day, Kristin is your girl! Thanks so much for being a part of my day!

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!!

A luxury beauty experience for the modern woman! My beauty philosophy is simple, "When you look good you feel good.

As a high-end makeup artist servicing some of Washington DC's most prestigious residents for over eight years, I always found it hard to find my "Glam team".

I am so glad that I chose Nina Renee Beauty for my wedding day. From the very beginning, Nina had so many ideas and was willing to answer all of my super specific questions. I am an admirer of makeup and hair, with little experience lol. I really just shared my vision with Nina and she let me know what I needed! They completely over delivered on quality of work and customer service!! I also highly recommend their hair extension rental. So easy and the extensions really amplified my hairstyle. By the way! My bridesmaids all felt that this was their favorite hair and makeup experience!

Kendra Bliss is a self-taught, bridal makeup artist from Lanham, MD. Her passion for makeup artistry began in college. In 2011, she realized there was a shortage of makeup artists for women of varying skin color and types. Since she loved to get her makeup done and did not have a place to go, she decided to educate herself and be there. Since then, she has learned immensely by taking makeup classes, and consistently practicing with family and friends. Now she is published and recognized in the bridal industry in publications such as MunaLuchi Bride!

Kendra is the ultimate professional! As a Photographer, I rely on my Makeup Artist to do work that makes it easy for me to photograph and retouch. Whenever Kendra does makeup for my clients (as she is my preferred vendor), the makeup is flawless and I'm rarely doing any retouching. Aside from her makeup application, she's the ultimate professional. She's always on time, reliable, my clients always have a good experience and she's extremley creative!

Ne'Kea and the Art of Beauty team were impeccable. I needed someone who could do both makeup and hair, and my wedding party had a spectrum of races, skin tones and hair types. This was not a problem at all for Ne'Kea and her team. Contacting her was easy and her responsiveness was prompt and professional. She worked with me to schedule my trial, which could have been a challenge because I live in New York and the wedding was in Baltimore. We ended up doing the trial near me in New Jersey and it couldn't have been more convenient. We had some last minute schedule changes with my bridal party on the day of the wedding and the team handled it easily. And my makeup and hair were exactly what I had envisioned. Everything was perfection!

Awarded Best of Zola
The best MUA/Hairstyling team that you could ever ask for. I hired Lilly and her team to do hair and makeup for myself, my 7 bridesmaids and 3 of my family members! They were on time and exuded professionalism the entire time. I had a lot of out of town bridesmaids so I needed to make sure I could find a team that could work on different skin types, hair types, and overall just versatile in the different styles my friends wanted. They executed everyone’s vision perfectly and everyone felt so beautiful. During their service they made all my bridal party feel comfortable as they worked. As for me, I ADORE Lilly. As she worked on me she not only made me feel comfortable but she made me feel so well taken care of. Every time she tried something different she would say little things like “that looks so good!” with a big proud smile which made me feel so reassured. I was not able to stop looking at myself all day and night and am so grateful that she made me feel the most beautiful I have ever felt while still letting me look like me. Thank you so much!! (Bonus: I ran around and danced all day and night and not one piece of hair on my head moved and not an eyelash out of place).

Quanisha always loved makeup, and as a child, to hone her skills her mother would allow her to practice on her during her evening naps. However, after graduating from makeup school with a makeup artistry certificate, she was disappointed to see makeup looks created without the personalization of the client's character and personal style. So, in 2018, attended Gwynnis Mosby Makeup Training center located in Tucker, GA soon after, Quanisha began her makeup artistry freelancing business called Quanisha Moody Makeup Artistry.

Quanisha’s skills are unmatched, I was the Maid of Honor for our wedding party and she went above and beyond for our big day. The bride, myself, and our mother received exactly what we each asked for; from simple light makeup to full glam. Quanisha and her husband were so kind and funny; she came very well prepared with printouts of our inspiration photos and asking us simple questions throughout the process to assure we received our desired looks! I couldn’t recommend Quanisha more for weddings or any other events you are considering a professional makeup artist for. Thank you again!!!
