Just got my full gallery back and this pic really says it all. Krystal did my makeup and my Mother’s makeup and we just look so much like ourselves! The way Krystal just enhanced our natural features shines through because we still look like twins like we always do. Krystal is sooo easy to work with from trial to wedding day. I couldn’t recommend her more.

Veux Beauty did such an amazing job with hair and makeup for my wedding day. Everyone looked and felt beautiful, and they really listened to what each person wanted while making everything look polished, elegant, and long-lasting. They brought such a calm and positive energy to the morning, which made getting ready even more enjoyable. Everything held up perfectly throughout the entire day and night, and we were beyond happy with how everything turned out. We felt so lucky to have them as part of our wedding and would highly recommend them to any bride planning her day. Their team at the salon even did a few of my guests hair and makeup the day of the wedding as well and everyone was so happy and felt so beautiful!

Marquita Chambers was born in the Washington, DC metro area and found her love of makeup after graduating high school. She then found herself in love with the beauty industry where she began working at beauty retailer, Sephora, to gain knowledge of skincare, luxury cosmetics lines and to experience working with clients one-on-one.

Awarded Best of Zola
I highly recommend Artistry by Marquita! My wedding makeup, created by Marquita, was absolutely beautiful but didn't turn me into someone unrecognizable. During the trial run, the hair stylist, Mona, took my vague description of "Game of Thrones but maybe a bit Jane Austen?" and gave me a gorgeous braided updo. On the wedding day, Marquita and Mona arrived on time and finished hair and makeup for me and the ladies in our wedding party (who also looked fabulous) with time to spare. They were kind, responsive, and collaborative throughout. It was great to work with both of them and I recommend them wholeheartedly.

You’ll never feel rushed or overlooked—I take only one bride per day, giving you my full attention. Let bridal hair be the one thing you never have to worry about.

From the moment I booked LaShawn, she took the time to understand my vision and somehow made it even more beautiful than I imagined. My hair lasted all day and night through tears, hugs, and hours of dancing, without a single strand out of place. What truly made the experience unique was how personal and stress-free it felt—LaShawn created such an environment that allowed me to simply enjoy the moment. Every detail was thought of, and I felt like royalty from start to finish. If I could do it all over again, I would hire LaShawn in a heartbeat. She is truly an artist and a blessing to have on one of the most important days of your life.

      After a bad makeup trail, I was on the hunt to find the right person for wedding day hair and makeup. I found Absolute beauty on The Knot and noticed they had amazing reviews. I contacted the company and spoke with Wendy. I Immediately knew she was a professional and knew what she was talking about. I booked a trail for hair and makeup and met Wendy back in April. My trial went so well and Wendy did an amazing job I decided right then to hire her. My makeup and hair were perfect on my wedding day, I was so happy!

      Kelsea and her team were amazing to work with. I am not usually much of a makeup wearer and asked for basically a glammed up version of myself, and she really delivered! I especially appreciated that she responded well when I asked for a small adjustment – she knew what I was asking for and was able to make me look and feel my best on my wedding day. Not to mention she made my fine, uncurlable hair look beautiful! Plus, my hair and makeup lasted through a whole night of dancing, kissing, and happy tears. I would absolutely recommend Artistry by Kelsea for any person getting married and wanting to look their best.

      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!!
