Strange Artistry - Luxury Makeup & Hair by Kristin Mastrangelo 
Rating: 5.0 (27 reviews)
  • Team of 1
  • Serves Washington, 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.

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!

Rita and her team did a great job with the hair and makeup for my wedding in November 2024. She was very responsive during the booking process, everything was very clear and seamless. The trial went well and she made sure that I liked how everything looked. Everything on the day of the wedding looked as expected based on the trial. I hardly ever wear makeup and asked for a more natural look and it turned out perfect! I also have fine hair and was worried about having volume, but Rita was able to make my hair look thicker than it is. Both the hair and makeup lasted all night and still looked good after being done around 12pm. We had 6 people getting services and everything was done on time by Rita and her assistant, she provided a schedule so that I was able to let people know when they could arrive. I would recommend Rita to anyone looking for wedding hair and makeup services, she was a pleasure to work with. Thank you!

I had a recent holiday party for family and friends and ABSOLUTELY needed to get my hair done. Thankfully I was able to make an appointment with Caroline and work with her! I absolutely love the work she did and she was AMAZING with my natural curls. It is honestly hard to find a stylist that can work with my thick curly hair and I thought Caroline did an excellent job on my updo that I wanted. If you are ever in the area and need your hair down for parties or weddings, Caroline is your best option!

I had the most amazing experience with Wendy’s team on my wedding day. From our first communication, they were incredibly responsive, organized, and attentive to every detail. Due to an incredible life surprise, we had to postpone our wedding. Lucky for me, they were available on our postponement date. Since day one, Wendy has been exceptionally kind, supportive, and understanding. I definitely dropped the ball on scheduling my trial, but Jinay made sure I got it done. She and Emely made me feel like my best self before the big day. There wasn’t a doubt in my mind that I chose the best team out there. They truly took the time to understand my vision and brought it to life beautifully — my hair and makeup were flawless, natural, and lasted perfectly through every moment of the day. Beyond their amazing skill and artistry, they were such a joy to be around. Their positive energy made the day so enjoyable and helped set the perfect tone. My bridal party and I all felt confident and radiant thanks to their work. I can’t recommend them highly enough to any bride looking for talented, reliable, and genuinely wonderful artists

Sandra and her team were the absolute best! Sandra was so organized and easy to communicate with throughout the whole process.

Tisha and her team did a wonderful job with my October 2024 wedding. I could not have been happier with this hair and make up vendor. Tisha is kind, easy to work with, truly cares about the brides and families she works with, and is very professional. I had about 20-25 ladies that needed to be ready (both hair and make up) by 11:30am that day. Tisha talked to me well in advance to make sure we had the right number of artists, she asked for everyone's hair and make up preference in advance so her team knew what to expect/ supplies to bring, and she works well with everyone from auntie to bridesmaids to bride to flower girl. She kept me consistently updated and did a trial with me to make sure i was comfortable. I highly recommend this vendor if you're a bride looking for someone to have your back. I could not be more grateful to this company.

Priscilla is amazing! When searching for a makeup artist for my November wedding a few years ago, I found her and am forever grateful I did! She was professional, kind, and just a joy to be around! She did a beautiful job on my bridal trial make up and an ever better job (not even sure how that’s possible!) on the day of my wedding. She is easy to talk to and made me feel extremely comfortable. I feel like I’m extremely picky when it comes to my make up and she truly blew me away. I would have her do my eye make up every day if I could! My face make up looked flawless and just natural. I never felt like I had too much make up on, as I know sometimes when you have your make up professionally done, that can be the case. My eyes were absolutely beautiful and I felt like a beauty queen. My bridal party also had their makeup done and everyone was very happy with the result. She works timely and efficiently. My make up stayed perfect throughout the entire day, which was impressive as I had it done early around 8:30-9am. I have had Priscilla do my make up again for maternity photos and once again, felt beautiful! She does a wonderful job and I am grateful for the friendship I gained by using her as my make up artist. I recommend her to all my friends who ask for recommendations for their wedding day or events!

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!!
