About Beauty By Sue

Beauty By Sue

Hair and Makeup Artist

With over 19 years specializing exclusively in bridal beauty, I provide a refined, concierge level hair and makeup experience for luxury weddings throughout Northern Virginia and Washington DC. My work is rooted in professionalism, clarity, and calm. I love creating soft glam looks with luminous, natural looking skin and polished, timeless hair designed to last from first look through the final dance. The focus is always on enhancing natural features rather than following heavy trends, creating elevated results that feel effortless while still photographing flawlessly.

Each service begins with a soothing facial massage incorporating lymphatic techniques to reduce puffiness and promote relaxation. By prioritizing skin prep over heavy product layering, I create long lasting, flawless results with a luxury touch that feels like the very best version of you. All bookings include on site touch ups for up to one hour after services are complete, veil placement, and a curated luxury touch up kit. I work solo by design, accepting bride only bookings or intimate concierge services for smaller bridal parties, allowing for a highly organized, responsive, and detail driven experience from inquiry through wedding day.

    Beauty By Sue is an exceptional wedding beauty professional that I highly recommend. Her communication style is clear, continuous, and she is quick to respond to any questions or needs. The quality of her work is exceptional, and it's clear that Sue cares deeply about her clients. Sue has been my hairstylist for two years then shifted her focus to only bridal events. Though it was bittersweet, I knew that when my special day came, I wanted her as my stylist and no one else. In 2023, she made that happen. Her presence and work greatly contributed to making my wedding day perfect. Thank you, Sue!

    Sue is, without a doubt, the absolute best choice for wedding hair and makeup. From the very beginning, she was incredibly organized and communicative, which made such a difference for me as a stressed-out bride. In the months leading up to the wedding, she was thorough, thoughtful, and completely on top of every detail. Knowing I could trust her plan and professionalism took such a weight off my shoulders. On the wedding day itself, she was flawless. She made me feel exactly like myself — just elevated, radiant, and bridal in the way I had always envisioned. She listened so carefully to what I wanted and somehow brought it to life even better than I imagined. I felt confident, beautiful, and completely comfortable in my own skin. Her timing was impeccable, which is so important on a wedding day when one delay in hair and makeup can throw off the entire timeline. She kept everything running smoothly and efficiently without ever making it feel rushed or stressful. We also navigated a few… strong personalities that day, and Sue handled everything with total calm and professionalism. She stayed focused, kind, and composed no matter what was happening around her. That steady energy was priceless. If you’re looking for someone talented, organized, calming, and truly gifted at making brides feel like the very best version of themselves, Sue is it. I cannot recommend her highly enough.
