Darling and Dapper Studio

5.0

Team of 12
Starts at $100
Serves Portsmouth, VA

Darling and Dapper Studio isn’t just a salon; it’s a haven for confidence. Founded by Elizabeth Darling, whose own journey of self-discovery led her to create a space where beauty is cultivated from within, rather than just painted on. Here, amidst the plants and warm, cozy ambiance, a team of experts don’t just style brides for their wedding day; they empower all individuals to radiate confidence that extends far beyond the salon. With each brushstroke and hairstyling flourish, they build a canvas of inner beauty, reminding every guest that their worth shines brightest from within.

“As the bride, I wanted to capture the fleeting, unforgettable moments of our big day (while looking my absolute best) as I’ve been told it goes by in the blink of an eye! I was fortunate enough to receive a recommendation for an incredibly talented hair and makeup studio from a family member who used Darling and Dapper for her wedding in October of 2024. After reading the different artist descriptions on the Darling and Dapper website, I knew Taylor Shira and Carolina Updegraff were going to be a perfect fit for what I was looking for on the day of the wedding! Taylor and Carolina exceeded my every expectation! What struck me most about Taylor was her ability to help create a calm, inviting atmosphere on the day of the wedding. She is such a sweet, energetic person with such a positive personality to boot. What struck me most about Carolina was her ability to recreate the exact makeup look from any inspiration picture you show her. She is such a sweet, warm person and she and Taylor are the exact kind of people you want to spend time with on what is typically a very overwhelming day! Their attention to detail and artistic eyes brought out the true beauty in myself and all my bridesmaids. I truly have never felt as beautiful as I did on my wedding day thanks to Taylor and Carolina. Taylor and Carolina are not only a master with any hair or makeup style you throw at them, but they are also true professionals. We chose to get ready in the bridal suite of our hotel and they both arrived on time, maintained a friendly and approachable demeanor, and made us feel truly at ease throughout the whole day! Their level of communication is impeccable as they were always willing to take feedback (without taking it to heart) and truly listen to what you were hoping to achieve with your look, so we knew we were in good hands the day of the wedding. With our wedding being an outdoor wedding, on July 12th, in Virginia, I was slightly nervous that my makeup was going to be ruined before we even made it to cocktail hour, but Carolina worked tirelessly to support my dream of having my desired look (and boy did she succeed)! Taylor worked tirelessly (up until I left the building to walk down the aisle) to support my dream of having cascading curls down my back and cascade (and last) they did! My six bridesmaids all chose different hair and makeup inspirations and were all extremely pleased with their work. Working with Taylor and Carolina has been an absolute pleasure from my bridal hair trial session to the end of the wedding day. Their exceptional talent, professionalism, and dedication to their craft makes them a stand out choice in the world of bridal hair and makeup! I wholeheartedly recommend their services to anyone seeking extraordinary hair and makeup and an unforgettable wedding day! - Mrs. Canavos”

Thank you for considering me to be part of your big day! With 14+ years of experience, I’ve seen (and tamed) it all. If you need someone to keep your hair flawless through happy tears, epic dance moves, and maybe one too many champagne toasts—I’m your girl. I travel far and wide to make sure brides look like royalty. Think of me as your fairy hair godmother—except with a curling iron instead of a wand, making sure you’re stunning well past the afterparty. My goal? To make you feel confident, radiant, and 100% you. Let’s make some magic (and great hair)!

“Had our wedding down by The Cape stunning views great food great times but when I saw my wife walk down the aisle I couldn’t contain myself. Her hair and make up was just PERFECT! Jess did the brides hair and all of the brides maids and everyone came down that aisle looking stunning no one more stunning then my wife, 10/10 would recommend”

“My wife and I used Sadie for our 25 year vow renewal and party. From the moment we met her we knew we liked her. She is very friendly, approachable, and professional. Sadie did both our hair and makeup. She was perfect at understanding exactly what we wanted. Very professional, even when chaos happened, as it always does, she was steady and on task and got us ready on time. We are extremely happy with the job she did with our hair and make up. It lasted all night, even after pictures in the sun, Dancing and playing with the grand kids.My hair stayed in place all evening and my make up did not run. We recommend her to anyone that is looking to do an event. Thank you Sadie”

Makeup by Vega

Starts at $145
Serves Portsmouth, VA

Hi, I’m Carly. I’m a Military Brat, a Military Wife and a Military Mom. I’m the oldest of 7 and the proud mama of 3 young men. My mother retired in Virginia Beach, VA in the 90’s and it’s where I planted my roots. I’m married to a bearded German who loves the Packers! Pretty much the most amazing human God has ever created. I started doing makeup on ‘accident’ when I worked at The Body Shop in Norfolk, VA in 2009; a lifetime ago. I told my friend I did makeup on someone and it was fun. That was the first time I networked as a Makeup Artist. She booked me for her next photoshoot. That’s how it started. Yup.
