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!!

Hi, I'm Holly, owner of Adorn Salon, opened Adorn Salon when I was 22, in 2017 and I never looked back. I have been a licensed Cosmetologist since 2014, I started as a receptionist and assistant which crucial in understanding the ins and outs of owning my own salon. Over the years I have practiced my trade for countless hours and have been blessed enough to receive multiple accolades and have been published In multiple magazines in Virginia. My passion lies in dimensional color, Bridal Styling, and educating my clients on their specific hair needs. 

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.

Hi! My name is Alaina and I have been a makeup artist professionally for just over 10 years and also have been a licensed Esthetician in NC since 2010- Proud Aveda Alumni! I LOVE meeting new people and helping them feel and look their best, while also making it a comfy and safe experience for you! When you LOOK good, you FEEL good. And I truly believe that. I specialize in natural bridal and special event makeup, and have been known to go a little crazy for Halloween too. Fun facts: I'm a busy dog mom of 4, and when I'm not doing makeup looks, you could probably find me rappelling down a mountain or hiking on a trail.

I have had the privilege to see this woman grow from being just a little girl with a glint in her eye. She has always been curious and loved making people feel good. She is quite the professional.

Kendra Bliss Beauty

  • Team of 3
  • Serves Independence, VA

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!

  • Serves Independence, VA for additional fees

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.

Kristin made my wedding dreams come true! I absolutely loved my hair and makeup; they were perfect and lasted all night long. Despite not having a trial, Kristin nailed the look I wanted just from a few pictures. Working with her from the beginning was stress-free and fun! She helped me choose the perfect package and was always quick to respond. She was worth every penny, and I truly enjoyed every moment working with her. Highly recommend!

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!

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!

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!

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 was professional, timely, and did amazing work! She was a great addition to the bridal suite and getting ready space on my wedding day. I would highly recommend her to future brides!
