  • Starts at $240
  • Serves Washington, VA

After 10 years of formal styling, beginning as a set up in my parents master bath for classmates prepping for prom, my love for hair styling has never wavered. Working with brides now, helping establish what will make them happiest looking back 20 years from now, seeing themselves looking absolutely radiant, and comfortable in their own skin, brings me so much joy. Being part of their big days, interacting with those near and dear to them, I get to play a role some might overlook. I truly love seeing the smiles erupt on my ladies faces as they see their vision come to life, at my hands.

Aida made getting ready for our wedding day so smooth! The hair and makeup looked stunning and held up beautifully throughout the DC heat and entire night of dancing. What really impressed me was the bridal touch up bag she provided, those little extras made a real difference when I needed a quick refresh. I’d absolutely recommend her to any couple looking for talented beauty professionals!!

JW was great! We worked with Nicole, Kelsey, and Laura and everyone who got hair and makeup looked flawless. Our bridal party commented that this is the best they’ve looked and they have all been in a LOT of weddings. My wife and I changed up our hair a bit from our trials and our new visions came out perfectly. They are also so friendly and we had a great time getting to know them. It was an awesome start to the best day.

Strange Artistry - Luxury Makeup & Hair by Kristin Mastrangelo

  • Team of 1
  • Serves Washington, VA

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.

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!
