It’s always a bit nerve racking to get hair & makeup done out of town, thankfully, this was a perfect experience. NeKea is professional and fun (she sings while she works). Best of all, everyone in our group (picky hair, doesn’t know what she wants (me) & picky makeup) loved our hair & makeup. This was the best fancy hair I’ve ever had.

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 found Cloud & Rea here on Zola after initially deciding not to do professional hair and makeup and am so glad that I reached out to them. Claudia was very responsive throughout the process before the wedding and clearly communicated with me as far as pricing, scheduling, advice before the day of, and timelines for getting ready. I had a late morning wedding and needed to have services for 4 of us and she came through like a champ and was able to get us looking perfect for the rest of the day. 3 of us are in our 40’s and my stepmom is in her 60’s and Claudia was able to do 4 completely different looks on us, none of which looked caked on or heavy. I really appreciated that she was able to work with different skin types and facial features, making all of us feel beautiful. I did do two makeup trials due to being indecisive on what I wanted for my final look. I knew I didn’t want it too bridal with the focus on my eyes and by working through my vision with Claudia I ended up with an amazing final product the day of my wedding. The first trial also included a hair trial that I was happy with but due to a scheduling conflict we ended up having our hair done by Artistry by Kelsea.

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!

Makeup by Kiley Smith

Fairfax, VA
  • Team of 1
  • Starts at $1,030
  • Serves Maryland

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!!

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 would recommend NRBeauty Co. to any bride to be. Nina is incredibly attentive and communicative in addition to being transparent about her pricing. Andrea and Andejla were my glam team, and I absolutely loved their work, as did the rest of my bridal party. The makeup and hair lasted for at least 12 hours (likely more). NRBeauty Co. was by far the most professional team I communicated with. I appreciated the portal Nina managed which included all communications, invoices, and glam guides. My bridal party also appreciated the Google form they submitted in advance of the day to share their inspo & desired looks! Nina also confirmed when the glam team was en route the day of the wedding, which was highly appreciated given how stressful the morning-of can be. To top it all off, they ran on time / ahead of schedule the day of the wedding!

Christy did my make up for my wedding and she did an amazing job. I loved my make up and it lasted all night. She is also the sweetest person. As soon as we started our conversation about what I was looking for she put me at ease. She was truly so easy to talk to and very good at what she does. I have no regrets. I tried 1 other make up artiest and didn’t feel very comfortable with her. So, I choose to go look else where. She had a bride already booked on the day of my wedding and squished me in that same day. She was timely as promised and got me out in time to get to my venues for pictures. I can’t say enough good things about Christy. If you are looking for a make up artiest, please look no more! Christy is the one! Thank you again Christy!!! God bless you and your business!

Carla Pressley - Hair Stylist & Makeup Artist 

3.7

Fairfax, VA
  • Serves Maryland

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!

As someone deeply committed to the art of hairstyling and makeup, I specialize in creating timeless, natural beauty looks. Please, look through my portfolio, and if my style resonates with you - reach out to me, and let's bring your dream bridal look to life together.

Antonina is an artist and a professional through and through. From our first meeting at trial, I was impressed by her warmth and attention to detail. What I loved the most was how she enhanced my natural features while ensuring I still felt like myself. I'm incredibly grateful for Antonina's talent and dedication. She not only made me look stunning but also made the whole process stress-free and enjoyable. Booking Antonina for my wedding day was absolutely the right choice.

I am a makeup artist based in DC, Maryland & Virginia area. My start in the beauty industry began in Florida 5 years ago. It evolved into working at MAC Cosmetics doing back to back appointments and working on every skin type, texture and tone. My specialty is glowing, effortless, natural makeup. I personally love a less is more approach to makeup. Taking a vision and creating a look that’s beautiful, but unique. I feel grateful to be in a career that allows me to help others look and feel their best. I can’t wait to work with you! - Josie

Kendra Bliss is a self-taught, bridal makeup artist from Lanham, MD. Her passion for makeup artistry began in college. In 2011, she realized there was a shortage of makeup artists for women of varying skin color and types. Since she loved to get her makeup done and did not have a place to go, she decided to educate herself and be there. Since then, she has learned immensely by taking makeup classes, and consistently practicing with family and friends. Now she is published and recognized in the bridal industry in publications such as MunaLuchi Bride!

Kendra Bliss Beauty provided an amazing and phenomenal experience on our wedding day. Their communication style was personable, and the quality of their work was truly breathtaking and professional. Kendra made sure to keep the mood light and was incredibly accommodating, making me feel like the most beautiful woman in the world. I cannot thank Kendra and her team enough for their exceptional service, and I would highly recommend Kendra Bliss Beauty to any bride looking for a top-notch beauty team to make their special day perfect.
