I cannot recommend Candice and the team of women at Society 11:11 enough! She did my makeup for my wedding, along with my MOA and my mom, and every single one of us was blown away by her talent. My mom even loved her makeup so much she didn’t want to remove it! Candice truly is the best at what she does, using top-tier products to create flawless looks. Before my wedding shower, I was dealing with stress-related skin irritation and redness, and Candice worked her magic to make my skin look flawless. Her recommendations were spot-on and showed her expertise. I utilized both hair and makeup services and everyone LOVED their look-thank you to the ladies who were apart of the hair team! I am now a client for life! I will continuously book with Candice because her work is unmatched. Thank you, thank you, thank you for making me feel beautiful on such an important day!

I feel so incredibly lucky to have gotten to work with Tai for my March 2025 wedding. I had never gotten my makeup professionally done before, and honestly had some nerves going into the process. I knew from pictures that I felt like Tai’s style fit what I was envisioning, and in the first minutes of meeting Tai, I knew I was in good hands. She is such a kind and bubbly person, the trial felt like catching up with an old friend. Seeing myself in the mirror both on the trial and on the wedding day, I felt truly beautiful and confident. I felt like me, but elevated. On top of that, she also helped to cover a scar that I got on my back from an unexpected procedure a month prior to my wedding. I felt so insecure about it, and she was able to cover it with ease. As for the look itself, it lasted all night, through happy tears and a hot dance floor. One of the best wedding vendors out there, would definitely work with her again!!

Abigail SLAYED my hair and make up on my wedding day. She made me feel like a princess. From our first conversation, Abigail made me feel like she genuinely cared about making my day special. During my trial, my hair wasn't holding the curls I wanted, but instead of brushing it off, she came prepared on wedding day with a solution—she used hot rollers to create the most gorgeous Hollywood waves that lasted all night. What really stood out was how she read the room perfectly; she was warm and chatty when I needed it, but also gave me quiet moments to breathe while she worked her magic. Her expertise and emotional intelligence made such a difference on a hectic day, and I felt like myself but elevated. If you want someone who combines serious artistry with genuine kindness, she is your girl.

The team at JW Artistry was fantastic to work with for my wedding day beauty needs. They were communicative, accommodating, and very responsive throughout the entire process. The quality of their work was high and they were fairly priced and flexible. I got several quotes from local artists and JW was the most reasonable, which was important to me as someone covering the costs for the group. The group of artists did a great job catering to the diverse hair types and skin tones of my bridal party, ensuring that everyone looked and felt beautiful. They were also receptive to feedback when one of my bridesmaids didn't love her initial look, and they quickly fixed it without any complaint. I'd highly recommend JW Artistry to any couple planning their wedding!

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.

I cannot say enough good things about Kristin! She did hair and makeup for myself, two bridesmaids, our flower girl, and styled my grandmother’s hair on the morning of my wedding. Despite an unexpected hiccup due to a wreck on the interstate, therefore delaying her arrival to the venue, she remained so professional. Her positivity was probably the only thing that kept me calm that morning! She expertly adjusted the schedule, prioritizing myself and my maid of honor so I was perfectly ready for my first look. Not only did she work efficiently, but the results were stunning! I felt more beautiful than I ever have in my life. She truly captured the vision I had for myself, my family, and my bridal party. Beyond her incredible talent, she brought so much joy and fun to our morning. Her humor and warmth added to the excitement and ease of the day. I will absolutely be going to her for any future formal events, and I highly recommend her to anyone seeking a beauty professional who will make you feel gorgeous, confident, and completely cared for.

I so enjoyed every time I went to see her, I really felt like she tried to make my vision come to life and I couldn’t be happier with how my wedding day hair turned out. It didn’t BUDGE, and still looked perfect at 2:00 AM. She did my mom’s hair also, and we both got so many compliments on how we looked.

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’m Jasmine, A Richmond, Virginia based makeup artist dedicated to enhancing the natural beauty of those I’ve had the pleasure of working with, and those I’ve yet to meet. What began as a love for makeup through creativity and self-expression has grown into a meaningful career centered around connection and helping others feel like the best versions of themselves.

I had the pleasure of having Jasmine do my bridal makeup and the makeup for my bridal party. Immediately from our consultation and trial at Melt, Jasmine was welcoming and calm, yet also driven and confident in her skills. She took the time to know what exactly I was and was not looking for. She took note of things I was particular about (filling in my eyebrows) and ensured they were exactly how I wanted before moving on. She even fielded my never ending questions about skin care since she is so knowledgeable! On my wedding day, Jasmine was promptly on time and a calm presence that helped keep me at ease. Jasmine was happy to make any changes throughout the makeup application process with no issue (I was difficult and changed my lip color 3 times). My entire bridal party still continues to rave about Jasmine’s work and claim it was the best professional makeup they’ve had. We all felt like enhanced versions of ourselves—it was exactly what we were looking for. The small kit of to-go and touch up items that Jasmine provided each of us ensured our makeup looked perfect the entire night. I would highly recommend Jasmine for any and all bridal/formal makeup services! Melt is lucky to have her.

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.

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.

Now, I offer full-service beauty, from personalized skincare treatments to flawless makeup, lashes, brows, full-body waxing, and spray tans—helping you glow from the inside out.

Ashton Michelle Makeup and Esthetics was an absolute joy to work with! Their communication style was positive, upbeat, and crystal clear. The quality of their work was excellent - they have a great understanding of combination skin and provided a clean, flawless application. I did a styled shoot with Ellynne Bridal and Ashton did amazing work touching me up throughout the shoot, making me look and feel stunning. I felt so pretty and confident thanks to their skilled artistry. I highly recommend Ashton Michelle Makeup and Esthetics!

Hi there! My name is Jessie! Your wedding day can be one the most special days of your life. I strive to create a peaceful and joyful atmosphere for you to get ready on your wedding day, so you can enjoy every moment of it stress free! I am here to make you look and feel incredible on your special day.

Jess was amazing to work with on our wedding day. She had such a fun energy that made getting ready feel like hanging out with a friend instead of just getting your makeup done. Jess was flexible with all of our requests and made changes without any pushback, which meant so much to us. Her work was polished and looked beautiful in our photos and videos. We felt totally comfortable and confident walking down the aisle because we knew we were in great hands. We'd absolutely recommend Beauty By Jess to any couple looking for a makeup artist who cares about making your day special.
