Society 11:11 and Manpreet were so easy to work with, and made sure I was comfortable and beautiful on my wedding day! I have curly hair, and was very concerned about finding a stylist who was confident working with texture. From my first meeting with the Society 11:11 team, I was at ease. Manpreet worked with me during my trial to make sure I had exactly the look that I wanted, and that I felt comfortable giving feedback about any changes I wanted to make. On my wedding day, she worked with me, as well as my sister, mom, and mother-in-law. She made us all feel great, while still looking like ourselves. I loved her ability to elevate our features in both makeup and hair styling, especially as a group of people who do not wear a lot of makeup day-to-day. I loved working with Manpreet and would recommend her and the whole team at Society 11:11! Photo courtesy of https://vnessphotography.com/

KC Artistry was an absolute dream to work with for my wedding day! From the start, Krystal and her team were fast, communicative, and incredibly friendly. As the bride, the hair and makeup they did for me brought me to literal tears - I have never felt so beautiful and confident.

Alina did my bridal trial in May and then makeup for me, my mother, my maid of honor and my now wife. I really struggled to find a makeup artist whose work was elegant and timeless. Everyone I had seen before meeting Alina was applying makeup in a very heavy handed way, which just didn't suit the style we were going for. Alina did a wonderful job, everyone's makeup stayed on all day, even though we got married on a hot, humid D.C day. She is a very warm and friendly person and immediately made us all feel at ease when working with her. She really went above and beyond to deliver classy, timeless looks. Also, my wife is Black and was really pleased with how Alina worked with her skin tone to create a look that didn't leave her feeling washed out.

Kelsea and Alena made me feel so beautiful on my wedding day. Kelsea chatted with me via Zoom to get an idea of what the day was going to be like and the look I was going for. I did a trial at Kelsea's studio in Virginia and I got to hang out with her adorable pup while she brought my vision to life and asked me lots of helpful questions. She then took feedback from the trial so that Alena, who was my artist on my wedding day, could execute a perfected version of the trial look. My hair isn't the easiest to work with because it's very straight and fine, but Alena got it to hold its waves all night without it feeling gross and weighed down by product. She also accentuated the purple highlights I got done shortly before the wedding to match my flowers flawlessly so that the purple showed through without being overpowering. She checked in every step of the way while doing my makeup and made sure I was good with the shades that she picked. I don't usually wear a lot of makeup so I was worried about not feeling like myself, but Kelsea and Alena achieved the perfect balance between looking glamorous, but still natural. I didn't have a bridal party, but Alena did my mom's hair and makeup as well and she looked beautiful. Cannot recommend Artistry by Kelsea enough!

I LOVED my look for the day and Claudia and Alena were also very personable on top of being amazing artists! They perfectly translate the ideas I had for my hair and makeup into a seamless look. I also really appreciated that Claudia did not try to cover up my moles or freckles on my face which kept my look more natural. Additionally, I could tell Alena had looked into my references for my hair between the trial and day of and I really appreciated that level of dedication.

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!!

Carla Pressley - Hair Stylist & Makeup Artist 
Rating: 4.2 (5 reviews)
  • Serves Lorton, VA

I’m Carla Pressley and I do hair and makeup! I’m a mixed African American/Korean chick born the year of the DOG in July which makes me a fiercely loyal sentimental Cancer. I also talk to most dogs and have been the proud mother to two Jindo dogs. I laugh EXACTLY like my two brothers, TRY eating vegan most of the time, LOVE yoga, and tear up EVERY time dads see’s the bride for the first time.

When I was looking for a hair and makeup artist, I wanted someone who I felt confident could help me decide the look for my wedding and come up with options for my naturally curly hair. However, I knew the deciding factor would be whether I felt confident that the artist could make every member of my bridal party that was diverse (in terms of race, disability, and LGBTQ) bridal party look and feel beautiful. Carla's portfolio showed me that she really lives her values of inclusion and I booked her with full confidence after our phone consultation the day after my inquiry. She gave me different options for the schedule for either just her or her and a team. I ended up going with the option of her and her team to not start so early and have a more efficient schedule. I was right to place my trust in her and the team she works with! I did a trial a couple weeks before my wedding, which I cannot recommend highly enough. It was definitely one of the most fun experiences of the entire wedding planning process! Carla spent a few hours with me trying different looks based on my inspiration photos and the vibe of my dress. I left so excited and knowing I had options I liked based on how I was feeling and the weather. On my wedding day she and her team were fantastic and executed flawlessly and made everyone comfortable on what was a hectic morning. My mother hadn't worn makeup since her wedding almost 40 years ago. My sister and maid of honor is also autistic with intellectual disabilities and had never worn makeup but wanted to be included (and look like a princess!) Carla and her team (special shoutout to makeup artist Mong!) were so patient and understanding and put them both at ease, which I appreciated so much. My other bridesmaids had a wonderful experience with makeup artist Nas as well. In terms of myself, I can say without question I've never felt more beautiful and glamorous but still myself than I did on my wedding day. Carla came with us to the church and fixed my veil that blew off during my first look and touched up everyone before we walked down the aisle. The look stayed the whole day and my hair held through the dip in our first dance into the after party. Going with Carla for hair and makeup was easily one of the best decisions I made in wedding planning and I cannot recommend her highly enough!

Hi, I’m a professional makeup artist with over six years of experience, trained in both cosmetology and aesthetics. I specialize in soft glam, timeless makeup that enhances your natural beauty not masks it while ensuring your skin looks radiant and flawless throughout your wedding day. My approach is skin-focused and personalized, allowing me to work confidently with all skin types and tones. Every look is thoughtfully designed to feel effortless, polished, and true to you, lasting from “I do” to the last dance. I’m passionate about creating a calm, luxury experience where brides feel comfortable, confident, and completely taken care of

Working with Makeup by Steph was an absolute pleasure. Her communication style is professional yet relaxed, and she was incredibly responsive throughout the entire process. The quality of her work was truly amazing - the soft glam look she created for me on my wedding day was worth every penny and lasted beautifully all night long. Steph also helped me figure out the best makeup routine for my combination skin, and even gave me a small amount of lipstick for touch-ups, which came in so handy! She was extremely nice and answered all of my questions with patience and expertise. The photos are from our trial, the ones taken in the bathroom were hours later after I had ran around doing wedding errands and ate! I couldn't have asked for a better beauty professional to be part of our special day.

Beyond her incredible talent, Dommie made me feel so comfortable, like I had known her for years. Trusting her with my crown was one of the best decisions I made!

As a proudly self-taught artist and devoted mother, I bring both heart and precision to every bridal experience. Growing up as one of ten children taught me the beauty of individuality, and that lesson lives at the core of my artistry. Based in the DMV, I’ve built my business on a passion for luxury beauty and a dedication to making your wedding glam an incredible experience. Doing my own wedding makeup was an experience that deepened my appreciation for the balance between artistry, emotion, and confidence. I’m honored to bring that same balance to every bride I work with, ensuring each moment feels luxurious, calm, and unforgettable.

After using Lilly for my own wedding, Lilly was the makeup artist for another wedding I was in. She is AMAZING! She makes you feel comfortable, beautiful, hyped. She’s so attentive and really tailors the look to the person. The moms at my wedding refused to book makeup. They insisted a makeup artist would make them look too overdone. After doing mine and my girls’ makeup, all the moms asked to be squeezed in. Not only did Lilly add 3 extra faces AT THE LAST MINUTE but she also took the time to ask them questions about what they liked/didn’t like to be sure to accommodate their preferences. Lilly has a wide range - from bold to natural. She did a fantastic job at both weddings and just brought such a great vibe. I highly highly recommend her!!
