Priscilla M Beauty is the team you need on your wedding journey all the way to your wedding day. Throughout the process - communication was clear, kind, and professional and worked with all my needs. Day of the trial and day of the wedding were amazing. Both days I was blown out of the water. The amazing team worked with some of my bridesmaids who never wore makeup and explained to them in detail exactly what and how they could get their makeup done! From start to finish they were ahead of schedule which gave me and the bridesmaids a very easy morning which was much needed. Take it from me and book this team!!

I was attending a formal wedding in DC & needed an updo. I googled online and through Senema Beauty I was put in touch w Aida. We worked out the details via text. She came to my hotel & did my hair in about 40 minutes! It was the same price as if I had travelled to a DC salon!!! Totally worth it!! Took away a lot of stress & 2 Uber rides! It looked absolutely AMAZING!! It stayed up for over 8 hours & never lost its shape or styling in the back. Even with the 98 degree DC heat, my tendril curls that framed my face stayed curled with the finishing spray that she used. Aida is very talented and should be used for any event where you need a stunning updo! She was a true joy to work with! I wish she lived in ATL!

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!!

  • Serves McLean, VA

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
I cannot say enough good things about Kristin! She did hair and makeup for myself, two bridesmaids, our flower girl, and styled my grandmother’s hair on the morning of my wedding. Despite an unexpected hiccup due to a wreck on the interstate, therefore delaying her arrival to the venue, she remained so professional. Her positivity was probably the only thing that kept me calm that morning! She expertly adjusted the schedule, prioritizing myself and my maid of honor so I was perfectly ready for my first look. Not only did she work efficiently, but the results were stunning! I felt more beautiful than I ever have in my life. She truly captured the vision I had for myself, my family, and my bridal party. Beyond her incredible talent, she brought so much joy and fun to our morning. Her humor and warmth added to the excitement and ease of the day. I will absolutely be going to her for any future formal events, and I highly recommend her to anyone seeking a beauty professional who will make you feel gorgeous, confident, and completely cared for.

Eva did my makeup on my wedding day and it was incredible! She matched the makeup to my exact skin tone (I get red pretty quickly) and I felt so stunning but not heavy or like I was wearing makeup at all! She made it so that when my cheeks started to get red it only made me look even better! She was so much fun - we giggled pretty much the entire time. She made me feel so beautiful and I am forever thankful! I would love to get my makeup done again just to work with her!

I’m so happy I went with Julia. She did an amazing job during our trial (she did both the hair and makeup on me) and a fantastic job on the wedding day. She had a colleague take care of makeup for me and my bridesmaids since my hair was so extravagant, but her colleague did a great job, too. The bright picture is shortly after they finished, and the night picture is many hours later and the makeup held wonderfully with no touch ups. I also got so many compliments on the hair!

Hello, I am a self taught freelance makeup and hair artist. I have been in this industry from past 6 years plus. This has always been my passion. I love meeting my new and existing clients. I take pride in the service that I provide to my clients.

Tina did my hair and makeup for my wedding and reception and made me look and feel beautiful as a bride! Right from our first conversation, she was very responsive and provided great guidance. During the makeup trial, she tried a few different looks and made sure she understood exactly what I wanted. Initially, we had agreed upon an arrival time of noon on my wedding day. But, due to some schedule changes, I asked if she would be able to come and start a couple hours earlier. She was very happy and eager to accommodate the schedule change at no additional cost. Moreover, she delivered great results even with limited time between my wedding and reception. Tina turned my bridal vision into reality and I couldn’t be more grateful. I am so glad I chose her to be my hair and makeup artist on my special day and I recommend her wholeheartedly!

As a musical theatre performer, I loved makeup – the cakey, heavy stage looks, not as much. Then, at my own wedding, I found myself in a similar predicament: heavily made up to the point of not looking entirely like myself. I dedicated myself to honing my passion for natural makeup artistry for beauty, bridal, film and TV, perfecting my craft and learning from industry experts. My work has been featured in respected platforms such as Washington Family Magazine, the Emmy Awards, and DCW50 (DC's CW Network). Now, I create timeless, skin-forward makeup looks that put my clients’ natural beauty center stage.

Awarded Best of Zola
WOW! Kiley absolutely blew me away with the look she was able to achieve for my wedding. As a no-makeup girlie, I was quite nervous to wear any on the big day and not feel like myself. Her consultation process is extensive because her attention to detail on every wish you want is spot-on. I told her I wanted a bit of pop of color possibly on my lips but overall just wanted to enhance my beauty with soft pink tones. I highly, highly recommend doing the trial session first because it helped us realize what colors looked good on me and how much makeup I actually wanted on. She is an expert at applying individual fake lashes which 1) helped me not bleed mascara down my face when I cried and 2) looked stunning without looking unnatural! After the trial, I emailed her some of my thoughts and she executed my vision perfectly on the actual day. She also made my mother and maid of honor look absolutely gorgeous; we all felt so confident and beautiful all day long! Most of all, she was just such a sweet presence the day-of and the whole planning process. I am so incredibly appreciative of Kiley's artistic gift and cannot recommend her enough!!!

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 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.

A luxury beauty experience for the modern woman! My beauty philosophy is simple, "When you look good you feel good. When you feel good you do better".I started Nina Renee beauty because I believe that we all deserve to have the celebrity-style beauty experience of our dreams. 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!

Since 2018, my business has been one of the best makeup-artistry businesses in the cosmetic industry. Originally founded in the DC, Maryland, and Virginia area, I offer professional, unparalleled service and inspiration to all my clients. I am a self-taught, professional MUA who balances the art of makeup application since 2013 and entrepreneurship. My work has been seen in the 2019 NYFW Tommy Hilfiger x Zendaya Show as well as on various celebrities and well known public figures such as Chair Reta Jo Lewis of the EXIM Bank of United States, Senator Ayanna Pressley, and more.

Karma's Kreations Artistry was an excellent choice for our wedding day beauty needs. Aubrielle was very assertive in her communication with me, which I appreciated as it ensured we were on the same page throughout the process. The quality of her work was truly professional, attentive, and aimed to satisfy - she promptly arrived at the wedding location and did an exceptional job applying makeup on me and my mother. Aubrielle was also very personable and friendly, making the experience enjoyable. I really appreciate the time and attention given to me as a bride-to-be, and the trial run before the wedding day was an excellent idea that avoided any surprises. The reasonable pricing and excellent customer service provided by Karma's Kreations Artistry was a win-win, and I would highly recommend them to any couple planning their special day.
