Anarie couldn't have been a greater pick for wedding hair and makeup. I did a trial with Ali and Kerstin a few months prior to my wedding, and that really solidified that I'd made a great choice in ladies that would listen to my vision and make me feel naturally beautiful. Kerstin worked with me to get my hair just right during my trial - she asked super detailed questions, like if I wanted my part straight or a little more crooked/natural, or for my updo if I wanted my hair to cover my ears all the way, halfway, or none, etc. Perfect for someone who is a little picky about their wedding day hair (guilty)! On the wedding day, she replicated the trial hair exactly and I was 100% happy with it. Plus it stayed put all day without looking stiff. I know nothing about makeup, but somehow Ali took my very vague description of how I wanted to look and executed it perfectly. Again - she listened to the details, like the fact that I hate how I look with any kind of eyeliner underneath my eye. Also - my skin is TERRIBLE (dry, red, acne-prone), so during my trial she gave me some skincare tips and told me some great/affordable products to use, which really helped calm my skin down and clear it up before my wedding. Of course that made my makeup look SO much better too. They also did hair and makeup for all my bridesmaids and the two mothers, and I thought everyone looked amazing. Anyway - can't recommend these ladies enough. Super talented, great listeners, and will make you feel very calm and taken care of on your big day. read more

I cannot thank Anarie enough for their communication, dedication, and professionalism. They were recommended to me by more than one of my other vendors, which says a lot about their reputation in the area. Communication was so quick with them, and they were patient as I adjusted what I was wanting for hair/makeup. They did my hair/makeup for our engagement pictures--which was so much fun! Ali and Andrea made me feel right at home with them, and I knew I had the right team! Then, they did my wedding hair/makeup as well as my bridesmaids and the mothers of the bride and groom. We had Ali, Andrea, and their two assistants. They arrived promptly, and quickly went to work. They were efficient, but also compassionate in their work. Everyone was very relaxed as we were getting ready, and they did exactly what I was hoping for. One bridesmaid had never had her makeup done, and I was so happy with how comfortable she felt with the Anarie crew. I wanted natural makeup and relaxed hair for my bridesmaids. Ali was at least 6 months pregnant, and I cannot believe she stood and did everyone's makeup that day! Also, she has some sort of magic in her makeup, because I cried soo many times (happy tears, of course), and it stayed the entire day!! So, thank you to such a wonderful team for helping me to feel like myself, but a little more enhanced, on our wedding day. read more

Ali and the team at AnaRie DELIVERED. I fell in love with AnaRie's work from Instagram and knew that I had to book with their team. Not to mention, every single vendor I worked with told me that AnaRie was the BEST when it came to H&MU. Fast forward many months of me adoring their work from afar, and it was finally my wedding day. Ali, Andrea, Erika, and Bri arrived at our cabin rental on time and completely took over the living room area. It was so cool to see them set up and their professionalism throughout was topnotch. We had a large group getting hair and makeup that morning on a tight timeline and the team went to work. They stayed on their timeline but it never felt rushed. Each of the bridesmaids and both moms even remarked how easy and laidback the whole experience was. Ali worked with my mom, who is a total tomboy and never, and I mean never wears makeup. My mom was really worried about getting her makeup done but Ali was so attentive and my mom felt so beautiful all night. My bridal hair and makeup was gorgeous! All night I felt so confident and yet so me. And after looking at some of the photos taken that night, all I can say is WOW. I am so happy with how I looked and how my H&MU lasted even into the afterparty. I cannot recommend AnaRie enough - they are pros and you won't be disappointed!! read more

Where do I even begin? I cannot express how magical Ali and Kellsie were with my hair and makeup on my wedding day. AnaRie Beauty is an exceptionally professional, thoughtful, and highly talented team--this review comes straight from the heart. I have very particular preferences when it comes to hair and makeup, and the entire experience with AnaRie Beauty was truly next level. Both Ali and Kellsie took the time to understand my vision, carefully studied the reference photos I provided, and perfected the look during my trial run--which, by the way, I highly recommend all brides do! They were incredibly patient, kind, and responsive to every email, making the entire process seamless. They also made me feel so comfortable giving feedback! On my wedding day, they were not only professional but also so warm and fun that I felt like they were longtime friends. And as if the trial run wasn't already amazing, the final look on my wedding day was even better! My hair was beautifully intricate, and when I saw my makeup, I was genuinely in awe. My vision had come to life in a way I had never experienced before--I truly felt so beautiful. I am beyond thrilled with AnaRie Beauty. They are worth every single penny! I will recommend them to any bride. This team delivers perfection. read more

AnaRie was a great choice for my wedding day hair and makeup services! From the beginning Ali worked with me to make sure my entire bridal party and mom could be accommodated for services on my wedding day. Her quick and responsive communication was much appreciated and she made sure I knew what to expect every step of the way! She even helped make recommendations for other vendors in the area as I am not from Asheville and needed some direction! It was also refreshing that AnaRie could provide services at my wedding location. That really made a difference, allowing my girls and I to relax and get ready while not having to worry about travel/traffic and timing. On the wedding day, Erika, Andrea, and Kelsey were prompt, fun, and very skilled at what they do! They even provided comic relief through some wrenches thrown in my day and dealt with last minute requests with ease! Working with AnaRie was such a good and easy experience that I wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone! I appreciate all that they did to make me (and my girls) beautiful for my big day! read more

I could not have been happier with my decision to go with AnaRie! My wife and I were lucky to have Ali and Kerstin help us get ready for our big day. Not only are they awesome at what they do, they're so much fun to hang out with! We had lots of laughs during our trials as well as our wedding day. My wife knew exactly what she wanted as far as makeup and Ali did it spot on! Me on the other hand, had no idea, but I knew I was in good hands with Ali. I felt like my makeup matched my style and personality perfectly! Kerstin was so sweet and very flexible when we switched up our hair styles the day of! I gave her a general idea of what I liked and it came out beautifully. It is obvious that she puts a lot of thought and effort in making sure you're happy with your hairstyle. I have no doubt the rest of the AnaRie team is just as awesome! read more

This is the second time that I have had the privilege of working with Ali. She did my makeup for my engagement pictures a few years ago. Her professionalism and warmth is second to none, so I had her do my hair and makeup for my elopement too! Ali is incredibly talented! I am so indecisive that picking out a hair style and makeup color was beginning to overwhelm me. I trusted Ali and let her make all of the decisions for me, and I couldn't be happier with the results! She made a highly stressful afternoon very relaxing and enjoyable, and my hair and makeup lasted all day and night Thank you for everything, Ali! You really are the best. read more

Ali (makeup) and Sam (hair) were a joy at my wedding. They did a brilliant job creating a natural look that I loved. They listened to what I wanted but also made suggestions (as someone who has never had hair or makeup done, this was very helpful). We were all a little nervous on the day and they helped us all feel at ease with their friendliness. They created a cohesive look between my Mum, sister, and me. In the run-up to the wedding, the process of signing contracts and booking was very professional and they were easy to contact and quick to answer any questions. I would 100% recommend AnaRie to anyone. read more

Oh WOW, what an amazing experience with Ali and Andrea! They absolutely transformed me into a beautiful bride on our big day and I was so incredibly thankful! They both took their time to get every detail just right and the outcome was really incredible. I felt so pretty and confident in front of the camera (which is not easy for me) and I am so SO glad that I booked them for hair and makeup. Ali was in communication with me right away and responded almost immediately to any question that I had. Truly amazing, super professional ladies and you will NOT regret choosing them for your services! read more

Oh my goodness... where the heck do I even begin?! Ali and Kerstin were a dream to work with. Ever since my hair and makeup trial, I knew they were going to be such a joy. The quality of work they provide is incredible, but on top of that, they made the morning go by so wonderfully. They were efficient, clean, on time, attentive, and so much more! My hair stayed perfect the entire night (through hours of dancing) and my makeup never smudged (even after many tears and having my husband smear cake all over my face). Ali and Kerstin have a special place in my heart. I HIGHLY recommend AnaRie!!!!!! read more

Ali (makeup) and Sam (hair) provided services for me and my bridesmaids on my wedding day, and I cannot sing their praises enough! As someone who doesn't do much to my hair or wear a lot of makeup in everyday life, one of my biggest pre-wedding fears was not looking like myself on our day. Those fears were immediately put to rest with Ali and Sam! They are both so very talented and made all of us look great in a very natural way. They operated well ahead of schedule and all of our hair and makeup looked beautiful all day long. I highly recommend them for your wedding or any other event! read more

Working with AnaRie was a dream! From the beginning, Ali was extremely helpful at answering all of my questions. As we went through the difficult decision to postpone our wedding celebration, she was flexible and understanding. At our trial, my sister and I *cried* because we were so happy with how my make-up (by Ali) and hair (by Andrea) looked. The entire AnaRie team made myself and my bridesmaids feel incredibly comfortable on our wedding day. Not to mention the amazing lip kits they include, which allowed us to touch-up as necessary throughout the day! I highly recommend AnaRie! read more

When I called Ali with AnaRie to inquire about hair and makeup for my wedding, it felt like I was talking to an old friend. She was so friendly and comfortable to talk to, which I found to be the most important aspect when assembling my wedding day squad! I knew her work was great from instagram (super natural, yet glamorous), but feeling at ease to be able to let her and her teammate, Andrea know if there was something more or less that I wanted for my hair and makeup! I would love another reason to work with AnaRie! They were the perfect choice to make our wedding so incredible! read more

It was such a pleasure to have Sam and Erika with us on our wedding day. They helped me stay calm for the whole morning up right up until going down the aisle. I really appreciated them staying for extra touch up time at the venue. I felt like such a beautiful, confident bride thanks to their work. I truly appreciated their flexibility and creativity through the whole process. They took into account what each member of our party was looking for. I would recommend AnaRie to any couple- they truly go above and beyond to make sure you feel and look your best on a very special day. read more

From the moment I decided to book with AnaRie, all the way to my big day, I had the most ideal experience. Ali was very friendly and professional. She got me set up with a time/date and sent me my contract (which was thorough) promptly. I know nothing about makeup so I gave the artist, Natalie minimal direction and she completely nailed the look. She was professional, timely and very sweet. Most of all I felt like a princess when it was all done which is exactly what a girl needs on her wedding day. 10 out of 10 HIGHLY recommend! read more

It was an absolute pleasure to work with Ali and Andrea for my wedding makeup and hair. They did a fantastic job and worked with me to make sure I felt my absolute best while making sure I looked like myself. Not only are they talented, but they were so much fun to have around on the day of the wedding while we were all getting ready. Without a doubt, I would choose them over and over again and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for hair and makeup services. read more

Ali Lawless of AnaRie is amazing. She applied makeup to 4 woman including the bride at my daughter's June wedding. All of us wanted to look natural and not overly made up and she made each of us look and feel beautiful while still feeling like ourselves. Ali listens and has a knack to get each person's look just right. The morning flew by chatting away to Ali as she applied makeup. She is not only a wonderful make up artist, but a great conversationalist. read more

Ali and Andrea did my makeup and hair for my wedding and I couldn't have been happier. It rained the day of and I had an outdoor wedding and my hair and face held up perfectly. Plus they were just so fun to hang out with. It was like getting ready with two old friends. You can tell they really care about you and your special occasion. I cannot say enough good things about them and I highly recommend AnaRie! read more

AnaRie did an amazing job for my wedding. Kerstin, Sara, and Andrea did an excellent job on our hair and makeup. I've been in weddings and seen makeup applied in 10 minutes. This was absolutely not the case for this team. The girls took their time and made sure we were happy with everything. Our makeup was flawless and not over done. A room full of females, and not one complaint from my crowd. :) read more
