Hi, I'm Sandra! I know finding the right beauty team for your wedding day can feel overwhelming. Our goal is to make the process easy, enjoyable, and stress-free while creating a look that feels authentically you.

Awarded Best of Zola
These ladies are the BEST️ I booked them for hair for my wedding day. Sandra and Diana made me and my bridesmaids beautiful for the big day, and really brought my exact vision for my wedding day. they are talented, kind and great communicators, and go above and beyond—when an unexpected situation arose with my (other) makeup artist falling through last minute, these ladies even stepped up and helped girls apply their lashes and made sure our timeline still ran on time. Crisis averted, these are the exact kind of people you want for your wedding or any special event! I only regret not hiring them for both hair and makeup in the first place because they are so organized and talented!!

Hi all! I'm Janna! I am so excited to share the amazing experience of what is one of THE most important days of your life! I can offer over 14 years of professional hair design and makeup artistry! I attended Paul Mitchell, The School and graduated Phase II in 2008. I then attended the Toni & Guy Advanced Academy for Hairdressers in 2014 and earned a specialization in special occasion styling, bridal styling, and makeup artistry for print and editorial work. I serve all over New England and travel on-site to my brides to ensure their wedding morning is seamless and leaves amazing memories!

Awarded Best of Zola
Working with the JW Artistry team was a dream come true! From my initial intake call with Janna in which she patiently and enthusiastically answered all of my hair/makeup questions, to Angela's expert email coordination and assistance in helping me select artists to work with, to Kelsey and Laura's incredible work on both my trial and wedding days, I couldn't have asked for a better experience. Kelsey and Laura were so kind and fun to chat with on the big day--I trusted them completely and appreciated how comfortable I felt with them, and I know my bridesmaids felt the same way. Kelsey did my makeup and my mom's; Laura did my hair and my mom's hair; and then they both did my 6 bridesmaids' hair. I felt so beautiful while still looking like myself after they finished, and would definitely recommend the JW team to anyone looking for hair and makeup services for their wedding day or any other special event!

    Dejane was wonderful to work with for our wedding at the Goodstone Inn in Middleburg. She was incredibly kind, responsive, and flexible throughout the process. We did a trial at my home and she thoughtfully adjusted everything to achieve the soft, natural look I wanted—perfect for the day. On the wedding morning she did my makeup, my mom’s, my sister’s, and even a light, age-appropriate touch for my 11-year-old niece. Everyone felt beautiful and comfortable, and the looks lasted flawlessly. I highly recommend her!

    Congratulations on your engagement! I am so happy for the opportunity to share in your wedding day bliss! I am a full service luxury traveling hair stylist based in Stafford, VA. I have had the privilege of being a part of bride's biggest day since 2015, working with over 200 bridal clients.

    Kristle is AMAZING!! Talk about talented and professional. She is incredibly responsive, and was by far the quickest responding vendor we had for our May 4th 2024 wedding. Our start time was 10 am and she was fully set up and ready by 9:45 waiting for us to start. She is so quick and was ahead of schedule- something that is almost unheard of at weddings and saved us. A few weeks before, she was flexible, allowing me to add another bridesmaid and a blow out. She was funny and kind to me and all my girls while still being incredibly professional the whole time. She put clip in hair extensions for me that I could barely feel and my husband didn’t even notice I had them in it blended so smoothly. I didn’t get a chance to do a trial with her before due to my busy schedule but she didn’t let that phase her and was able to give me the hair of my dreams- better than I even expected. Thank you Kristle!!!

    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!

    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.

    Hello my future brides!🫶🏻 I hope your wedding dreams come true and that you feel extra beautiful and special. I put love in my work and would be grateful to be considered to assist you on your special day!

    Abigail was an absolute pleasure to work with for my wedding day makeup. Her communication throughout the process was clear, detailed and compassionate, which really put me at ease. The quality was excellent - she took the time to personalize my makeup to my specific skin texture, creating a very natural and flawless look. She even gave me helpful tips and recommended products I could buy later for my everyday look. I was especially grateful that she was available on short notice when my original make up artist cancelled just a week before my big day and she even helped style my hair to complete the look! I got so many compliments and after many hours of sweating, my makeup was still intact.

    Quanisha always loved makeup, and as a child, to hone her skills her mother would allow her to practice on her during her evening naps. However, after graduating from makeup school with a makeup artistry certificate, she was disappointed to see makeup looks created without the personalization of the client's character and personal style. So, in 2018, attended Gwynnis Mosby Makeup Training center located in Tucker, GA soon after, Quanisha began her makeup artistry freelancing business called Quanisha Moody Makeup Artistry.

    Quanisha’s skills are unmatched, I was the Maid of Honor for our wedding party and she went above and beyond for our big day. The bride, myself, and our mother received exactly what we each asked for; from simple light makeup to full glam. Quanisha and her husband were so kind and funny; she came very well prepared with printouts of our inspiration photos and asking us simple questions throughout the process to assure we received our desired looks! I couldn’t recommend Quanisha more for weddings or any other events you are considering a professional makeup artist for. Thank you again!!!

    Hi there! I'm Sasha and I'm the proud owner of Sasha Styles. I have been in the hair salon industry for 10 years and loving every second of it. I love doing hair because I get to make every person I meet feel great about themselves. I graduated from Paul Mitchell and continue to explore and learn all that I can about hair styling and care. My services range from cuts and up-dos to full wedding party styles.

    I first discovered Sasha as a recommended vendor via my makeup artist, Kiley Smith. Knowing that they’d worked together before and trusted each other as professionals, with a similar high standard for their services, put me at ease right from the start! Sasha’s Instagram showcases the wide-ranging hair styles she’s capable of, and all are beautiful. As a July bride, I knew I wanted an up-do to beat the heat, but also have thin hair that’s not super long, and wasn’t sure what was possible with my hair type. The outcome surpassed my expectations! I came to my hair trial in Sasha’s cozy home studio with a vague description of what I wanted, a few google images, and some decorative bobby pins from Etsy – Sasha took that and transformed my hair into my dream come true! I loved it so much that I was sad to take it down at the end of the night. Day-of, Sasha flawlessly recreated the hair style from my trial, and helped make the wedding morning feel relaxed and fun! My wedding party included my mom and mother-in-law, aunt, cousin, and sister, and everyone had a wide range of hair types and hair lengths. Sasha kept things moving on schedule, while simultaneously making everyone feel comfortable, at ease, and their most beautiful! When my sister and I both accidentally messed up the front, curled tendrils of our up-dos while getting dressed, Sasha graciously unpacked her supplies once again to re-curl our hair and make sure we were picture-perfect before she departed (and our hair stayed flawless all night)! It truly felt like Sasha was “one of the girls” hanging out with us all wedding morning, and everyone loved her! Could not recommend her enough!

    Isabella Vabre Beauty is a luxury bridal and special event makeup and hair team serving clients across the Washington DC area and beyond. Led by award-winning artist Isabella Vabre, our studio is known for creating elevated, camera-ready beauty that feels effortless, timeless, and confidently you. With experience shaped by fashion weeks, celebrity clients, and the signature Soft Glam style, our team delivers a personalized, high-touch experience grounded in artistry, professionalism, and calm, supportive service. We believe in making every client feel elevated, radiant, and fully taken care of.

    I cannot recommend Isabella Vabre Beauty enough. I’m someone who is very outdoorsy and almost never does hair or makeup, so I walked into this experience knowing basically nothing — and Isabella made me feel completely comfortable from the very start. She is incredibly responsive, professional, and so kind. She has a calming presence that immediately puts you at ease, and she listens closely to what you want (even if you’re not sure how to describe it!). On my wedding day, she made me feel like the most beautiful version of myself — still me, just elevated in all the right ways. I would 100% work with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a makeup artist who is both technically skilled and genuinely wonderful to be around. If you’re considering booking — do it. You’ll be glad you did.
