“PriscillaM Beauty was so easy to work with and did an amazing job! They are very detail oriented and make sure to send you tips and resources about how to best prep your skin for the big day. The trial experience went super smoothly and my artist, Erica T. was great! She took her time to understand what I wanted and listened to any feedback that I had. On the wedding day she arrived early and worked efficiently to make sure we stayed on schedule for our photos. My wedding day makeup looked amazing and didn't budge throughout the day/night. All of my bridesmaids and my mom looked and felt their best thanks to Erica. Highly recommend working with them!”

We did a trial session a few months before the wedding and it went really well. I wanted to do a colorful makeup look for my Indian wedding and Cheryl was totally on board with bold green eyeshadow! Ashley was also super helpful with all the headwear necessary for the event, giving us advice for how to prep my dupatta (veil) to keep it in place and that sort of thing. On the wedding day itself, they did a great job quickly sussing out the different styles and tastes of the wedding party. They also had something in common with everyone and were chatting and joking with us all morning! They finished up right on schedule, and were able to do touch ups before the ceremony started. Everyone's hair and makeup lasted beautifully through 12 hours of dancing, sweating, rain, and happy tears! I'd absolutely book them again, they were a joy to work with!”

one of the greatest joys in my life is having the talent and skill to show everyone just how beautiful they are. in using these skills to show others how beautiful they are, i found my beauty, my strength and so much more. i realize every day, i am often a small part of big life-changing events. for each wedding, baby shower, or brand launch photoshoot i get to be a part of, i am forever grateful for your trust.

“I had originally booked both Hair and Makeup with Cloud & Rea Studio but due to a scheduling conflict Kelsea ended up stepping in the day of the wedding to help me and my bridal party with all our different hair looks. She was great to work with and pulled together 4 very different hair styles while dealing with different hair textures and lengths. We were able to clearly communicate our vision and she brought it to life with skill and professionalism. She also did a stellar job at the end of our getting ready session when my matron of honor still needed to get her hair done and we were running behind to get picked up. Kelsea was able to get her hair done in a fraction of the time she normally would have and it looked amazing all day. We had a late morning wedding with a late afternoon reception and everything held up for all 4 of us through the ceremony, pictures, and dancing. I would highly recommend Kelsea if you’re in the DC area.”

“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!!”

Serves Riverdale, MD

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!”

She made me feel comfortable and confident, which was so important, considering she had the key role in making me the most beautiful bride possible. On the wedding day, she was prompt, supportive, and took her time to ensure my hairstyle was flawless— and it truly was! I couldn’t have been happier with how it turned out. I felt absolutely stunning and confident on my special day. Honestly, I couldn’t have chosen a better stylist!”

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!!”

“I’m so thankful for my dear friend and talented makeup artist! She is incredibly detailed, patient, and thoughtful in her work — every look she creates is beautiful and refined.
