    Absolutely Wonderful!

    Brooke was absolutely wonderful. So much better hair and makeup than I first was asking for. She did a gorgeous, romantic bun and natural look makeup but enhanced. She was so easy to talk to and asked questions along the way to make sure I got exactly what I imagined. I would recommend to anyone in the area and all my 7 bridesmaids loved her as well. She is fantastic!

    Brooke is a wonderful hair and makeup artist

    Brooke did my hair and makeup trial for my wedding on 10/21/23 and did an amazing job. Unfortunately, due to an emergency, she was unable to do my final hair/makeup on my wedding day, but recommended Erika to take over on the day of (who did an absolutely wonderful job!). Both ladies were excellent, friendly, courteous and helped me have the most special day. I definitely recommend Brooke and her team's services for your wedding day.

    Neve Felt More Beautiful!

    Brooke made the morning of my wedding and getting ready completely worry free! Prior to the day she was easy and fast to communicate with and answered any and all questions I had. She helped plan the timing for the morning of the wedding and in doing so there was no rushing around and she had myself and all my girls ready in plenty of time.
    The day of she arrived in a timely fashion, came prepared, and was extremely flexible. One thing that I also really enjoyed about Brooke was that she was very personable. She had conversations with myself and my girls which all made us feel very comfortable and made the whole experience even more enjoyable.
    Brooke helped me feel my most beautiful on my wedding day, and I could not recommend her enough!!

    Brooke Was the Best!

    Brooke was awesome! She did my mom and sisters makeup and mine as well with my hair. We all looked so beautiful and it was so nice to be pampered on my big day. Loved her!

    A vision and dream come true!

    Brooke took the time to talk to me about the different ideas I had on my wedding day look and really helped me in the decision making process. Brooke was able to make me look glam while also keeping my simplistic look. Through the process we had great communication regarding looks for me and the girls, as well as plans for the day of. I am extremely happy with the results!

    Would highly recommend!

    Brooke was so great to work with! She responded within minutes to my inquiry and was very communicative through the whole process. On my wedding day, she tackled my whole bridal team and came to our hotel extra early to make sure everyone was ready on time. From the mothers, to the bridesmaids, to my bridal hair and makeup - everyone was so happy with her work! Brooke is able to do any hair style and do it quickly. She made my wedding day stress-free and made all of us feel beautiful!

    Fantastic Experience

    Brooke was fantastic! Everyone's hair and makeup looked amazing and held up to the summer heat. Brooke was so easy to work with and gave me a ton of options. She is incredibly professional and responds to messages quickly. I would definitely recommend Brooke for your hair and makeup needs.

    Brooke was great! She did all of the make-up and hair for me and my wedding party (there were 7 bridesmaids in total). We met beforehand to try styles out and she was very helpful in planning things out. The day of the wedding she was super effective in making sure everyone's make-up and hair was done with plenty of time to spare. Someone changed their mind and wanted their make-up done last minute, and Brooke was super accommodating and flexible about it. Overall Brooke does a great job and is super professional!

    Beautiful looks from a creative artist!

    Brooke was great to work with, and was super flexible! She was super friendly, and helped me pick the perfect look for my wedding day. Unfortunately, the day ended up being much warmed than expected, so my hair did not cooperate, but luckily the style we picked was so versatile that my bridesmaids just pinned it back for me after we took pictures. I had a great trial session with Brooke, and was very happy with how my hair and makeup turned out on my wedding day. My bridesmaids looked amazing, too! We were all impressed with how quickly and efficiently Brooke was able to do our hair and makeup, all on her own. Would definitely book another event with Brooke in the future!

    We don't have any regrets in getting Brooke as the one who fixed my hair (bride) and 3 of my bridesmaids. She did a great job during my trial and during my wedding day. My make up and hair stayed long enough then expected. Everyone compliments my make up when they saw our pictures and of course during our wedding day. You can easily communicate with her. I will recommend her to everyone I know.

    Brooke did hair and make-up for myself, 5 bridesmaids, mother of the bride, and hair for the flower girl. She did an amazing job! Last minute my bridesmaids decided they also wanted their make-up done and she was quickly able to accommodate them and brought in an extra person to help with up-dos. She is very reasonably priced and quickly responds to email, highly recommend!

    Brooke and her associate did hair and make-up for me (the bride), all of my bridesmaids, flower girl, Mom and 2 friends. A total of 11 people for hair and 9 for make-up! On top of having a large bridal party, my family is a circus! People were in and out of the room while we were getting ready. A lot going on! To paint a picture for you...think my Big Fat Greek Wedding. We had to be ready by 4pm and Brooke had everyone done by 2:45PM. Leaving plenty of time for pictures and champagne drinking :) Brooke was so easy to work with. She was very flexible and accommodating. I really enjoyed having her there to help me and my family/friends get ready for one of the most memorable days of my life. It felt like she was part of the wedding party. I will definitely go to her for any other future events I have. Thanks Brooke!

    Brooke and her assistant Jayme did a GORGEOUS job on my wedding day hair/makeup, makeup for three bridesmaids, and hair for six bridesmaids. I couldn't believe how quickly they worked - Brooke showed up at 8:30 and Jayme around 10:00, and we were finished around 12:30 (well before the time I wanted everyone ready by) - quick work for a total of 7 people! Excellent prices too - she was much more reasonable than other hair/makeup vendors in the area. I didn't feel "nickel and dimed" with extra fees for traveling onsite, wedding being a holiday weekend, extra $$ for eyelashes, etc - Brooke has a flat, straightforward pricing structure. Hair looked perfect even after getting caught in a light rain, and makeup lasted till the afterparty shut down despite hours of dancing and a few too many drinks :) I also appreciate how quickly she replies to emails and questions - usually within only a few minutes! Great job overall - would definitely recommend them!

    Brooke did my hair and makeup for my wedding, along with the hair and/or makeup of 6 other family members and wedding party members. She was very responsive and flexible from the beginning, so working out the details of the event was stress free. She is very reasonably priced, and will travel to your venue for free if it is relatively close to her. Even if it's a little farther it's just a small additional fee which is no big deal. Also, she allowed me to skip my trial because I didn't have time to go out to Virginia to have it done. That was particularly great, because most other hair and makeup artists required that I do a trial which was expensive and not something I had the time for. Even though Brooke didn't do a trial for me, she still made me look great and she even finished early which is amazing given that she had so many people to do in a short amount of time! I highly recommend her if you are looking for someone who is responsive, professional, nice, and talented! And quick too!

    Brooke did an excellent job of providing professional make up for myself (bride) and matron of honor. She also did a great job on wedding hair styles for myself, my daughter and aunt. We all looked fabulous for the wedding. I highly recommend her services on your special day. She was a calming force in the middle of chaos.

    This is my completely honest (but belated) opinion-- Brooke was awesome! She provided AMAZING hair/makeup for me and my sister on my wedding (7/11). She was extremely friendly and professional, and most importantly I never felt like she was trying to swindle me or take advantage. She was also very flexible with coming to my location in Old Town Manassas, especially since a few of my bridesmaids decided they didn't need hair/makeup at the last minute. She was very reasonably priced and I really liked how she didn't have a minimum number of people she would provide hair/makeup for.

    I would definitely go to her for an event in the future!

    Brooke was fantastic! When we did my trial, I was very specific that I didn't want my makeup to be darker than the rest of me (which is a problem I've had before when getting my makeup professionally done). My makeup was PERFECT. It lasted all day and made me look flawless. I can't recommend Brooke enough. She arrived on time and finished with time to spare, which is always nice on such a busy day. She was just amazing. :)

    Brooke did my makeup and the makeup of my 11 bridesmaids, 3 Mothers, and 2 flower girls for my wedding in May. She did an absolute amazing job! She was responsive and flexible through the whole planning process which was very important since I was planning my wedding from another country. My makeup looked perfect for my wedding, exactly the way I had imagined. We had a tight schedule given I had an early ceremony and even with my large wedding party she made sure everyone was happy with their makeup and finished ahead of schedule! I highly recommend her services!

    Brooke is a wonderful hair and makeup artist. I went to her house for the trial, and she was willing to try several different styles as well as listened to what I wanted my "look" to be. She was able to perfectly transform my ideas and make me feel so beautiful at the trial as well as on my wedding day--where she came to the venue to do makeup/hair which was an added bonus! I had a flareup of acne before my wedding and she masterfully covered it and made all my insecurities go away. I can't say enough about what an awesome job she does. On top of that, she is a wonderful person and I had fun chatting with her during the trial as well as on my wedding day. Definitely recommend her services for hair and for makeup for anyone! She also did hair for my maid of honor, who loved the style, as well as makeup for my sister in law, who was also pleased with the look! Thanks Brooke!

    Brooke is incredible! She offered a trial hair & makeup session and listened to my needs/concerns and delivered wonderfully. She arrived bright and early to do my hair and makeup for my morning wedding, which was a HUGE relief to me. My hair and makeup even stayed in tact from 7am-midnight!

    Brooke is amazing!! She did my make-up 3 years ago for my best friend’s wedding I was in. So when it became my turn to tie the knot I already knew I wanted Brooke to do my makeup for my big day, and I was so excited she was available for my day.

    She is such an awesome person and does such a fanatically beautiful job. Brooke came to my hotel the morning of my wedding and did myself, mother, mother-in-law and some of by bridesmaids. She is the makeup artist you want for your day, not only does she do gorgeous work but she is a calming factor. It is nice to just be able to sit and relax (as much as possible on your Big Day) and get your makeup done, you know you are in good hands when you have Brooke there as a part of your team to get your ready.

    I HIGHLY recommend Brooke to any bride, bridesmaid or just for a special event..

    Thank you so much Brooke for everything. You are the Best Love you!!!!
