I genuinely cannot recommend him enough. From the moment I walked in, the entire experience was just immaculate vibes. The salon itself is beautiful and welcoming and David immediately made me feel so comfortable and taken care of. He truly knows what he's doing, not only did he listen to exactly what I wanted, but he somehow made it even better than I could have imagined. One of those haircuts where you walk out feeling like a totally elevated version of yourself. Also worth noting: I met two other team members while I was there and they were just as warm, professional, and lovely. You can tell this is a place that really values both talent and atmosphere. Safe to say I will only be going to David from here on out! I am already looking forward to my next appointment -- booked before I walked out the door!

I adore and appreciate her as a person and artist - thoroughly enjoyed my time getting to know her during the procedures. Will be back when my poor brows grow out for touchups! Thank you so much - I truly appreciate you! (Services, brow lamination and tint)

Vicky at Beauty Brains and Brows is truly the best of the best. I've been seeing her consistently…read morefor over five years, and I honestly can't imagine trusting anyone else with my brows. I first booked an appointment with her right before my wedding--and wow, I had no idea how much of a difference great brows could make until I met Vicky. That first visit turned into a standing beauty ritual, and she's been a permanent fixture in my life ever since. She's precise, professional, and has an incredible eye for shape and symmetry. My sister and I both swear by her work. Not only is she insanely talented, but she also makes you feel comfortable and cared for every step of the way. Her location is central, and she plays really great calming music you'll feel like you're at the spa. If you're in Northern Virginia, look no further. Vicky is hands down the best brow expert in the area. Book with her--you'll be hooked after your first visit!

I was thrilled to have found Karina after going through a full-glam wedding trial with another artist. The look was not me at all, and I went searching for someone who could achieve a more understated look. Karina fit the bill perfectly. Karina always came to me and charged a minimal cost for travel; she explained everything she was doing, as she was doing it; and she -- expertly -- did a complete pivot on my wedding makeup look between the trial and the big day. I truly can't wait to work with her again!

I am ACTUALLY the least photogenic person on the planet - I know everyone says that, but please trust me here - and while I only ended up liking three of the photos, that's still honestly a way better than average success rate for me. Julie the photographer was great to work with, and my makeup was of course on point. I showed the makeup artist a random photo of Olivia Wilde's makeup and she was able to replicate the look pretty well. I also love love love the owner here. You rule boss babe. I think a cool option they could consider adding is photo-editing for extra; I'd definitely pay more to have some airbrushing and magical Photoshop face slimming. So while most of these pictures sadly ended up just being another reminder of how badly I need to lose weight, I would highly recommend the package itself! Edit: before you ask, yes, the photos you get are way higher res than the ones I shared here. These three went through multiple rounds of amateur editing by me, screenshotting from insta, etc. That'll do the trick.
