They mixed a few shades to get the perfect lip color. For the hair, they first expertly blew it out before doing the updo. They made sure to prioritize safety & cleanliness: they used heat protectant on my hair & used a new disposable applicator every time they dipped into a mascara or lip gloss tube. Super nice people & great service.

Had a make up session for a photoshoot with kim in the beginning of May and truly enjoyed it…read more Kim was super friendly and fun to talk to. It was such a chill vibe throughout my appointment. She did a great job to beautify my aging face and her pricing was reasonable, this is after comparing a good number of makeup artists in the DMV area. She also did big curls on my hair, it was so simple but gorgeous, even my photographer complimented on it. The only thing i was slight not happy with is that towards the end of the photoshoot, the corner of one of my fake eyelashes started to coming off. But since it didn't affect the photoshoot so I am ok with it. Maybe next time, a bit more glue for the corner area My overall experience with Kim was a 5 star & highly recommended by @WineDinenVacay

This review is long overdue, but Michelle did my bridesmaids makeup and the Mother of the Bride's…read moremakeup for a wedding in early March. She is great! She listened to my preferences, while making me feel comfortable with trying new things and was so easy to talk to throughout the process. She was also able to travel to the wedding location which was a lifesaver. Can't wait to use her services for my next event!

I've had the opportunity to work with both Ryan and Kathy. I first did my bridal trial with Kathy…read moreand she was great. I think it was $50 for the trial and she came to our hotel room in DC. At first I wasn't very happy with the color eyeshadow because it was too mauve(ish) and seemed a little too mature for what I was going for. She was super great about it and worked with me to find a color that was better suited. I've had my makeup done a lot and sometimes artists take it really personally when you say you don't like something. This was not the case at all. I also had photos done for something else and the photographer used Ryan as a makeup artist. Ryan was super friendly and easy to get along with. She also did an awesome job with my makeup. On the actual wedding day, Kathy was punctual and very patient with my bridesmaids. She had done my sister's makeup first and then redid it completely over when my sister got really emotional (happy tears!) and cried away all her makeup. I was so happy with my makeup. I used the airbrush which is amazing even though I was a little apprehensive about it at first. I didn't have the cakey look that so many brides have and the coloring was just amazing. I'll try to attach a picture... I highly recommend them both!

I've had the pleasure of personally working with Marquia Kinard on two occasions, but have also…read moreseen her work on my friends, and let me tell you, she is the patron saint of makeup artists. I have never felt more beautiful than when Marquia tells me to hop off her chair and take a look in the mirror. Like today, when I literally couldn't stop gawking at how she took me from Zombie extra in a remake of Michael Jackson's Thriller to a pretty little PR princess! One thing I love about Marquia is her energy and enthusiasm. She is sweet and gracious, and really gets pumped about making her clients look their best. She is engaged and takes into consideration what you want, while transforming that look into something that works for your features. Her infectious smile keeps me calm and soothes me no matter how stressed I am about whatever event it is I'm going to. She is also extremely punctual, and always arrives early, ready to set up and then sit down with you first, before starting. She'll discuss everything from your skin type to how you react after makeup is applied - greasy quickly/break out/redness - and from there, she tailors her approach and what she uses to eliminate those issues and help you put your best face forward. If I could give her a sixth star, I would have, because she is absolutely the most talented makeup artist in the DMV. I've even proposed that she move in with me... I hope she says yes!

How am I the first person to review the salon lofts in Gaithersburg? It was my first time seeing…read morethis concept, and it's kind of cool. Every independent business rents out their own apartment-like space with windows looking into the hallway and sliding doors. I got a haircut with Josie, who was fun to chat with. Her space felt serene with light blue paint on the walls, and plants hanging around the window. Not to mention she made sure that I got the haircut I wanted and left feeling like a million bucks. I only wish that the space lent itself to a central waiting area. There were small benches in corners of the halls outside of some of the businesses, which were a bit awkward.

I had no idea Salon Lofts was a thing until recently when my hairdresser informed me she moved to…read moreone of the lofts here due to covid. I love that each hairdresser or independent business have their own space to run their beauty salon. It's especially great during this time where you want to limit interactions with people. Entrance is next to Dog Haus. There is no one there to greet you- you just take the stairs or elevator upstairs and find the correct loft number.

Connie is simply amazing. She is incredibly talented, but what truly sets her apart from other…read moremakeup artists in the region is that she is an artist at her core. She brings an artful, intuitive approach to her work--one that enhances and reveals your natural beauty rather than masking it. After working with Connie, you'll see yourself with new eyes--refreshed, authentic, and still completely you. It's a rare experience to feel both transformed and deeply like yourself at the same time. Beyond her artistry, Connie is highly versatile. She listens closely to your preferences and can create a wide range of looks while staying true to your vision. She is also reliable, professional, and a pleasure to work with--truly someone you can trust. Working with Connie feels like collaborating with a true artist. It's no surprise she has worked with high-profile clients, including Dr. Jill Biden. In short, Connie doesn't just do makeup--she helps you experience your own beauty in a new and meaningful way. I highly recommend her.

WOW! What an amazing experience! I went to Vijay's house for the very first time this last past…read moreFriday, or on November 17th. It was nothing short of LUXURY! 1 HR of relaxation and TLC!!! I was so impressed with her comprehensive treatments. She gave me an exfoliant, mask, steam, extraction for white heads, face moisturizer, moisturizing hand mittens, and everything was warmed up beforehand even the cleansers! I was SO RELAXED! I left not even wanting to put my music on. I just wanted the peace that I felt when leaving her establishment. My skin also looks better since my first session with her. Not to mention, she is VERY AFFORDABLE. $70 for one hour and I got sooo much. I left a decent tip because it was well deserved. Book a visit SOON!

I sent her a few photos of the look I was envisioning and she executed it so beautifully on the day of the performance. She also exercised a lot of caution given the current situation and made sure I felt comfortable with the way everything was set up while she was doing my hair and make-up. Look forward to working with Vijay aunty again in the future!

I can't say enough good things about Addi! I found her online and was blown away by her portfolio…read moreand great reviews, and immediately knew I wanted her to do my makeup for my engagement pictures. Some highlights: 1) I emailed her on Tuesday and my pics were on Sunday. Not only did she give me an appointment on such short notice, she is also 39 weeks pregnant! I couldn't believe she was willing to do my makeup the weekend before her baby is due. She is so passionate about her job and truly cares about her clients, even if she's never met you before. 2) I never wear makeup so I was pretty nervous about how it would turn out. Addi took time to listen to what I was looking for and we talked about some of my previous (bad) experiences with makeup so that she also knew what I didn't want. Throughout the session, she continuously asked me how I felt and always made sure I was comfortable with the way it looked. Addi is the perfect makeup artist for women who don't usually get their makeup done or are a bit nervous about wearing full makeup. 3) Her studio is adorable, really clean and organized, and all her products are top of the line. 4) She is so sweet and really easy to talk to. My makeup, including eye lashes, took a little over an hour but the time flew by because we were chatting away. She even offered to run into her house and get me an umbrella since it was pouring out. Addi is truly an incredible makeup artist, and I left feeling comfortable in my own skin. People kept telling me how great of a job Addi did enhancing my natural beauty, which is exactly what I was looking for. I got a sneak peak of my engagement pictures and my makeup looks amazing. I can't wait to book Addi for future events, and I have my fingers crossed she'll be available to do my makeup on my wedding day. :)

She was…read moreincredibly rude and dismissive, -- particularly of my need for her to work with particular products that would not flare my skin sensitivities -- that is, until she saw a photo of me and realized I was pretty. When it seemed like there could be a way forward, I asked to see a copy of her contract, and she got upset with me for asking. She then told me she would refuse to work with anything "subpar" (her word) and would not work with me. Lowest moment of planning my wedding. (For the record, she was well within my budget so this was not about the cost, and I found a much better makeup artist to work with me instead.)
