I had the absolute pleasure of working with Kara and her business partner Holli for my wedding day, and I can’t recommend them enough! From the moment we met, their fun and vibrant personalities made the experience feel so enjoyable and relaxed. They were not only incredibly talented but also so considerate of my need for praise and worship time to calm my nerves. They seamlessly respected the sacred moments, making sure to keep the atmosphere calm while still creating absolute masterpieces for my bridal party.

Ashleigh Cascio MUA 

5.0

  • Starts at $85
  • Serves Big Island, VA

When picking vendors for your wedding take into consideration that we are all unique and have our own individual styles. Especially your glam team! Some artists shine best when doing full glam, others excel at that naturally flawless look, and then there’s everything in between! Know what you want and pick an artist whose style matches your preference. My preferred style is soft glam with a lot of color on the face! Gimme all of the blush and bronzer. I like soft blurred lines and some smoke on the eyes. I hardly ever bake and when given the option, I will always opt for a “lit from within” glow.

Ashleigh was absolutely fantastic. She has such a cute and bubbly personality. When I first met her she was so warm and inviting. I don’t know how but she literally knew EXACTLY what I wanted. I look back at my pictures and I genuinely am shocked at how beautiful the makeup is. Everything I wanted her to focus on was absolutely perfect and she went above and beyond. Also- you know she’s dang good when people were complimenting my BRIDESMAIDS and mom’s makeup at the wedding. So many people asked who did it. As someone who has been a bridesmaid many times, I have never had anyone really compliment our makeup. I cannot reiterate this enough. BOOK HER!!!

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 is AMAZING!!!! She is THE BEST hair & make up artist in the industry. Not only have I had the pleasure of working with her for the last decade in the wedding industry and referred her to many of my brides, she also did my hair & make up for my own wedding and engagement shoot! Not to mention.. nine other of my bridesmaids! She is a true artist and really cares about her clients. She intentionally gets know their style and what they want to embody on their wedding day to make them feel the most beautiful! I highly recommend Kristin for your wedding! She is such a genuinely amazing person and an extremely talented hair and make up artist!

I hired Ashley for hair and Cheryl for makeup for myself and 4 members of my wedding party. They were amazing, and exactly what I wanted! 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!

I found out about Make My Day at a bridal show. Lorin came and did a practice one ahead of time so we could figure out how we wanted the look. I don’t know anything about makeup and she made it really easy! On the wedding day she did my makeup and my mom, sister, and daughter’s makeup, which are all very different personalities! We all felt special and had input. It feels like Hollywood with the prep chair and lights. Lorin did fantastic, everyone was happy and we all looked so amazing in pictures! I scheduled my practice day makeup right before some family pictures and I look amazing in those as well! I am planning to use Make My Day before all professional pics going forward!

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!!

Cashmeir Bridal 

5.0

  • Starts at $200
  • Serves Big Island, VA for additional fees

We are Cashmeir Bridal!!! An award winning, on-site team of hair stylists and makeup artists. We are passionate about our brides and even more passionate about our craft. We travel from East to West coast (and destination weddings too!), giving each bride the luxury experience she deserves on her wedding day. We can’t wait to meet you!

I’m a biracial bride with Type 3C curls, and I was adamant about wearing my natural hair on my wedding day. But I’ll be honest — I hadn’t let a professional touch my hair in over five years. Finding the right stylist was absolutely crucial for me; I wanted to be pampered on my wedding day, not stressed or forced to do my own hair. When I came across Cashmeir Bridal, I immediately noticed their Instagram was full of diversity! Brides of every race, skin tone, and hair type. That instantly had me interested. When I reached out, Cashmeir, the owner, was warm and communicative from the very beginning. I’m a nervous bride by nature, so I asked if I could speak directly with the stylist who would actually be doing my hair (since it wasn’t Cashmeir due to location), and she understood completely. She quickly connected me with Tangiah — and from our very first video call, over a year before my wedding, I felt totally at ease. Her daughter has the same hair type as mine, and she answered every single question thoughtfully and thoroughly. My trial was set for August, about a month before the wedding. But I’ll admit — I got nervous again! I reached out a few more times to make sure I was prepared, and both Cashmeir and Tangiah were so kind and patient. Tangiah even hopped on another call to walk me through what to bring and recommended extensions (which I now recommend EVERY curly-haired bride consider — especially if you deal with shrinkage!). It was a total game changer!! By the end of my trial, I couldn’t believe how beautiful my hair looked — it was truly the most stunning my natural curls have ever been. Tangiah is insanely talented at working with curls, and she worked quickly while still giving every detail attention. On the wedding day itself, she was a dream. My bridal party was incredibly diverse — from White girls with straight, fine hair to thick Asian hair to tight Dominican curls — and she made every single person look like they just walked off a runway. She was ahead of schedule, flexible with little requests, and her energy kept us all calm and happy. Personally, I’ve never felt more like myself. I didn’t have to change or straighten my hair to fit anyone’s idea of “bridal beauty.” Tangiah made me feel stunning exactly as I am. Beyond her incredible skill, Tangiah is warm, funny, and so personable. She had the best stories, kept us laughing all morning, and made the atmosphere feel like home. I’ve already saved her info for future events — that’s how much I loved working with her! And I can’t say enough about Cashmeir herself. Even when there was a small miscommunication about pricing and services, she handled it with complete professionalism, grace, and care. She was accommodating, ensured I was taken care of, and followed through on every promise. Whether you’re a curly-haired bride or not, hiring Cashmeir Bridal was one of the best decisions I made for my wedding day. I recommend them wholeheartedly and without a single reservation. I’ve attached photos from both my trial and my wedding day so you can see how beautifully everything came together!
