    I was lucky enough to meet Victoria the night that I got engaged. It was destiny!

    A few months after my engagement, I scheduled a trial run with Victoria. She went through my entire "day of" wedding look and we even spent some time tweaking it a little bit to get the perfect look. It was really fun and I felt very comfortable. I still felt that I looked natural, but with a little bit of pop.

    On my wedding day, Victoria had a lot of people to go through. She really took her time with everyone and gave all the women personal attention. Some got smokey eyes, and other got some natural glamour. In the end, they all looked beautiful and were in love with their makeup. She definitely has some fans in my wedding party.

    I got my makeup done towards the end so that mine was fresh. We revisited the picture from my trial and were going for the same look. Between my skin looking perfect, and my eyes popping...everything was perfect. I left with my lip gloss in hand and ready to have the best night of my life.

    My makeup stayed on the entire night. Even with some tears during the ceremony and speeches; I got to the end of the night looking flawless. Victoria does amazing work and I would hire her again in a heartbeat.

    Victoria is absolutely the best stylist you could ever have for any occasion. She is so talented, and an absolute joy to work with. She did my hair and makeup and my mom's hair and makeup for my wedding. Throughout the entire process, she was just so fantastic to work with, from the very first email to the wedding day itself! Victoria was recommended to us by our photographer (Genevieve Leiper), and in addition to Victoria's incredible styling skills, it was a bonus that she worked so well with Genevieve to make the photos turn out even better. For background, neither my mom or myself typically wear a lot of makeup, and Victoria did a masterful job making us look and feel beautiful with minimal, natural-looking makeup. On the wedding day, Victoria also stayed with us throughout the photos (which we took before the ceremony) as we drove around to a few locations, and then changed my hair to an updo before the ceremony/reception. With a lunch reception, that meant starting hair and makeup just after 5 a.m., and the early start time did not phase her at all! When our timeline shifted a few weeks before the wedding day, she kindly agreed to arrive half an hour earlier than we had discussed, and she was so flexible and wonderful in the entire planning process and on the day of. While we were taking photos, she went above and beyond to help hold my bouquet during adjustments or fix my dress and veil. And I truly can't describe what an amazing job she did on our hair and makeup. She made me feel like an incredibly beautiful bride (and she made my mom feel like an absolutely gorgeous mother of the bride), and I am so grateful that she was my wedding day stylist. I can't possibly recommend her highly enough! She is a great person and a fantastic professional stylist, and you would be lucky to have her on your wedding day team of experts.

    Victoria did an amazing job for my engagement photo shoot and wedding! She did hair and makeup for both. Since she works closely with my photographer (Genevieve Leiper), she knew exactly what would look good in photos. At my wedding hair/makeup trial, she carefully planned how my hair would look knowing I would have a hair accessory. The day of my wedding, I looked AMAZING. She made me (and my bridesmaids, mother, and mother-in-law) feel comfortable and relaxed at her studio while she did our hair and makeup.
    I love that Victoria respected what I (and the other girls) wanted and what we felt comfortable with. Some of the girls wanted big, voluminous hair and dramatic makeup while others wanted something more subtle. Victoria made sure that everyone was happy and felt beautiful. I recommend Victoria Stiles (and A Little Wedding Studio in Leesburg, VA) to anyone and everyone! If you pick vendors who work well together, your wedding will be that much more perfect. I had the wedding of my dreams and I could not be more pleased with Victoria's work. I am sad that I won't be able to work with her (or the other vendors at the studio) anymore but I will be sure to contact her if I need any other professional hair or makeup in the future.

    I will keep this short: Simply use Victoria for your wedding makeup. She is amazing. Talented, professional, flexible, and listens to feedback. My makeup lasted and lasted. We had a very ethnically diverse group of people that she was doing hair and make up for and she was able to take care of each person perfectly. Her price is so reasonable for the outstanding quality of her work.

    Victoria is awesome. She did a great job making someone who wears very little makeup look glamorous and natural at the same time. As someone who even considered doing my own makeup, I can confidently say that having Victoria do our hair and makeup was 100% worth it.

    Working with her was super easy. She responds to emails quickly and is really fun to be around. She gives military discounts as well as a discount for paying upfront, which added up to be a lot of savings for me. There were a lot of people in my wedding party, so she brought another stylist (also named Victoria) who was also wonderful. I would definitely recommend them both!

    I was so happy that I chose Victoria for my wedding hair and makeup for many, many reasons. First, she is extremely talented. I felt so beautiful, and she was able to exceed my expectations. She did my bridesmaids' hair as well, and I could tell that they were also very happy with the outcome. Second, she is a pleasure to work with. Victoria was very responsive to all of my emails. I worried about asking her "silly" questions, but she never seemed to mind at all. She even answered questions about my bridesmaids' plan for their hair. I made a small change to my hair after my hair trial, and she was very flexible and simply wanted me to be happy, rather than make things easier for herself. Victoria is also a very kind person, and she was a very calming presence on my wedding day. I hope to have a reason to use her services again in the future!

    Victoria is amazing! She made me look beautiful, but in a natural way. She is amazingly talented - after your trial she thinks about the ways to improve the look. It's so impressive. She's fun too, especially for someone who regularly styles important people. If you can get on her schedule, I highly recommend her!!!!!

    I have never felt and looked so beautiful in all my life! Victoria was fantastic and fun to work with. All the girls’ hair and makeup were done to perfection. She even stepped up to help out when my Mother In Law had a hair disaster/emergency right before the Wedding. Anyone who has looked at our pictures has said how fantastic we looked – like we were off the pages of a magazine – and that would not have happened if Victoria had not been there!

    I am extremely picky about my hair and makeup and went through 5 trials before choosing Victoria. She exceeded my expectations with her professionalism and expertise. I felt absolutely beautiful and my hair and makeup lated through the night even with me dancing the entire night. She also did a fantastic job on the Moms and they looked gorgeous. If you want the best, Victoria is it! Don't waste time or money on anyone else, you will not regret it!

    I hired Victoria to do make-up and hair for myself (bride) and 2 sisters (bridesmaids) on the morning of my wedding. It is wonderful to have someone come to you for these services. She showed up on time and with a great attitude. All of us were extremely happy with our hair and make-up. I was not an easy bride to work with, however, Victoria remained calm, kind and professional during the whole process. There is a reason she gets great reviews, she is the best around! I would highly recommend her to friends and family.

    Victoria is fantastic! I originally met with her for a hair and makeup trial back in the Spring, and liked her right away. she was easy to work with and fun to talk to! After a few months, I had a completely different look in mind, and she did a follow-up trial with me to try out the new look. She completely got my vision, and executed it perfectly!

    The day of the wedding, Victoria came to our hotel suite and did Hair for both of my sisters, my Mom, my Aunt, and myself. She also did makeup for my Mom, one of my sisters, and myself. She spent time and great attention to detail for every single one of us and made us look like movie stars! My Aunt was an unexpected addition, but Victoria squeezed her in and we managed to stay on time and every single one of us was thrilled with the outcome.

    We all were given compliments all night, and felt wonderful. Victoria completely gave me the look I imagined for myself, and beautified the whole family! She is truly talented, and lovely to work with!

    Victoria did an absolutely amazing job "beautifying" me and my mother for my wedding, and I would enthusiastically recommend her to any friends getting married in the DC area. First and foremost, Victoria did a fantastic job--my makeup was flawless and my hair was superbly ornate and gorgeous. Victoria is so good at her job that I didn't even really have to explain to her what I wanted, and somehow-voila!-my hair and makeup were perfect and exactly what I wanted. My mom also could not stop raving about how much she loved her look. Second, Victoria is incredibly professional. We had a Sunday brunch wedding which required her to arrive at our hotel around 6:30/7 am (to do makeup for only me and my mom), and she arrived early and with a smile on her face. Third, Victoria is personable and a pleasure to spend time with. Somehow I felt like I was just hanging out with an old friend while she was doing my hair and makeup, which really calmed my pre-wedding jitters! I would highly, highly recommend Victoria.

    I contacted Victoria after I was unhappy with a previous trial run and explained to her everything I wanted for my hair and makeup. When I visited her for my trial I was hesitant because of my first experience with someone else but ended up loving her. Victoria was great, she listened to exactly what I wanted and gave her input when appropriate. I had 7 bridesmaids, myself, MIL, and mother doing a combination of hair and makeup. Victoria and her associate were amazing the day of. They were at the venue on time and we finished in plenty of time, no rushing around. It was a stress free great experience. They both did makeup from very light and natural to dramatic. The hair ranged from down and romantic to up and intricate. Any future brides reading this review I highly recommend her for any look you're going for, she is definitely capable.

    Lovely, excellent results, easy to work with, professional, flexible, all the above would describe my working relationship with Victoria Stiles. As a ferocious dragon mom, I put Victoria through her paces during the practice. Her gentle corrections and points regarding make up for the camera were excellent. Her assistant on the day of was simply superb. (She did me and Well she did.) But this is about my daughter, the exhausted resident who looked so elegant and calm-ethereal, but then I'm her mom. Under Victoria's knowing touch, Ellie was transformed into the exquisite bride whose picture revealed little of the stress and lack of sleep leading up to the wedding.

    Victoria did Hair & Make-up for my mom, sister, me, and the flower girls in our wedding. She is fantastic! The trial with her was useful and fun, and gave me a great sense of what I would look like on my wedding day. The day of, she arrived early, finished right on time, and did a fabulous job with our hair and make-up. She has a way of making you look flawless yet still yourself, and that comes across in the photographs. Highly recommend her for a wedding in DC or Baltimore!

    I cannot say enough about Victoria!!! She was amazing!! My stylist had cut my hair too short, so I worried that an up-do wouldn't be possible. Victoria pulled a rabbit out of the hat and gave me hair that all my friends have envied. And the make-up job was flawless! She's a must have for any important occassion! Karen

    Love Love Love Victoria! I used Victoria for my wedding day hair and makeup for myself, mother of the bride and maid of honor. She did absolutely amazing work even better than the trial day which is always great to know if your the bride. Victoria is not only to the point with what she knows and how to do it but you can trust that she will make you look beautiful without making you look like a drag queen. Victoria truly loves what she does and she amazing at it. The best part of her services is that she brings music to spice it up a bit especially for us people who are not early risers and forgot their ipods. =) I will also have to note that she brings the most intense chair for you to sit in while she does your makeup. Enjoy it because she is a master at work. Thank you Victoria for making me feel beautiful for my wedding day! I will see you soon I'm sure.

    Victoria Stiles is great! I had no idea what I wanted in terms of makeup and hair for my wedding, but Victoria talked to me about my style and gave me several ideas and recommendations. I did a trial with her before my wedding because I was really unsure about using extensions, but she made them blend in perfectly and convinced me that it would be a great look. And it was! I wish I could make my hair look like that every day! I worked with Victoria for my engagement photos as well and she was able to do great makeup and hair for both the more casual engagement photos and the formal wedding day look. She came to our hotel to do hair and makeup for the wedding party the day of the wedding, and I enjoyed having her there. She was calm, fun, and got along well with everyone.

    Victoria is awesome! She is easy to work and extremely knowledgeable in her field. I didn't want to spend my wedding day in DC traffic, so I knew as soon as I got engaged I wanted someone to do hair and makeup to come to our venue. She did hair and make up for me, my mom and two bridesmaids (all with different hair types and coloring) without a problem. I didn't feel or look like a had a lot of makeup on, I looked like myself.

    I hired Victoria and her assistant to do the hair and make-up for me and my bridesmaids in the early morning hours before my 11:30 AM wedding at the Fort Myer Old Post Chapel in Arlington, VA and -- hand's down -- that was one of the absolute best wedding-planning decisions I ever made. In addition to being extremely talented and professional, Victoria and her assistant were an absolute delight to work with, and they made our morning so enjoyable. They showed up to my hotel room exactly when they said they would (5:45 AM) and in the hours leading up to my wedding, they worked their beauty magic on all of us, including my two flower girls. I'm pretty fussy and particular when it comes to my hair and make-up, but I completely trusted Victoria and turned myself over to her and I am SO glad I did. When I walked down the aisle with my dear Dad, I felt radiant, beautiful, happy and supremely confident -- everything you want to be on your wedding day -- and all of that was due to Victoria. And I love what she did with my hair! We haven't yet seen our professional photos, but in all of the other photos that we've seen so far, my hair looked beautiful from every angle and amazingly, it stayed in place all day. On your wedding day, you don't want to take any chances, and believe me when I say that Victoria is worth it. I would give her 100 stars if I could, but this site limits me to 5!
