Prissy did hair and make up for my wedding in 2022 for me, my mom and grandmother, and she was fabulous! She absolutely made my vision come to life, is incredibly easy to work with, and extremely talented! I've never felt as beautiful as I did on my wedding day, and that is how every bride should feel. I recommended Prissy for my best friend's wedding, and she pulled off even more magic. My husband and I had a photo shoot done for our 2023 Christmas cards, and you know I of course had Prissy do my hair and makeup for that too! She is my go-to should be yours!

I can’t speak highly enough about Alaina. From booking to the wedding day, she was phenomenal. She started with a questionnaire to discuss my vision, skincare, and what makeup I currently the use. The trial was so much FUN and she took everything I said into consideration. Come the wedding day, she made all of my bridesmaids feel so comfortable. I had girls who like heavy makeup, girls who like minimal, and everything in between. She accommodated everyone’s needs and my friends have never looked more beautiful! As for my makeup, my skin has never looked so flawless! All night everyone commented on my makeup, saying it was pristine. It lasted all through the night. Photos, dinner, and TONS of dancing, everything stayed perfectly. She even gave us little touch up kits and straws so we wouldn’t mess up our lips. Thank you, Alaina, for making me feel so beautiful on my wedding day!

Darling and Dapper Studio 

5.0

  • Team of 12
  • Starts at $100
  • Serves Portsmouth, VA

Darling and Dapper Studio isn’t just a salon; it’s a haven for confidence. Founded by Elizabeth Darling, whose own journey of self-discovery led her to create a space where beauty is cultivated from within, rather than just painted on. Here, amidst the plants and warm, cozy ambiance, a team of experts don’t just style brides for their wedding day; they empower all individuals to radiate confidence that extends far beyond the salon. With each brushstroke and hairstyling flourish, they build a canvas of inner beauty, reminding every guest that their worth shines brightest from within.

As the bride, I wanted to capture the fleeting, unforgettable moments of our big day (while looking my absolute best) as I’ve been told it goes by in the blink of an eye! I was fortunate enough to receive a recommendation for an incredibly talented hair and makeup studio from a family member who used Darling and Dapper for her wedding in October of 2024. After reading the different artist descriptions on the Darling and Dapper website, I knew Taylor Shira and Carolina Updegraff were going to be a perfect fit for what I was looking for on the day of the wedding! Taylor and Carolina exceeded my every expectation! What struck me most about Taylor was her ability to help create a calm, inviting atmosphere on the day of the wedding. She is such a sweet, energetic person with such a positive personality to boot. What struck me most about Carolina was her ability to recreate the exact makeup look from any inspiration picture you show her. She is such a sweet, warm person and she and Taylor are the exact kind of people you want to spend time with on what is typically a very overwhelming day! Their attention to detail and artistic eyes brought out the true beauty in myself and all my bridesmaids. I truly have never felt as beautiful as I did on my wedding day thanks to Taylor and Carolina. Taylor and Carolina are not only a master with any hair or makeup style you throw at them, but they are also true professionals. We chose to get ready in the bridal suite of our hotel and they both arrived on time, maintained a friendly and approachable demeanor, and made us feel truly at ease throughout the whole day! Their level of communication is impeccable as they were always willing to take feedback (without taking it to heart) and truly listen to what you were hoping to achieve with your look, so we knew we were in good hands the day of the wedding. With our wedding being an outdoor wedding, on July 12th, in Virginia, I was slightly nervous that my makeup was going to be ruined before we even made it to cocktail hour, but Carolina worked tirelessly to support my dream of having my desired look (and boy did she succeed)! Taylor worked tirelessly (up until I left the building to walk down the aisle) to support my dream of having cascading curls down my back and cascade (and last) they did! My six bridesmaids all chose different hair and makeup inspirations and were all extremely pleased with their work. Working with Taylor and Carolina has been an absolute pleasure from my bridal hair trial session to the end of the wedding day. Their exceptional talent, professionalism, and dedication to their craft makes them a stand out choice in the world of bridal hair and makeup! I wholeheartedly recommend their services to anyone seeking extraordinary hair and makeup and an unforgettable wedding day! - Mrs. Canavos

LOOK NO FURTHER, CHRISTINE IS THE ABSOLUTE BEST!!! I feel so lucky to have found Christine for my wedding makeup because she was everything I was looking for and more! I did a makeup trial with someone else that went terribly and was scrambling to find a new makeup artist less than two months before my wedding. I am truly so grateful I found Christine. Her talent speaks for itself, just check out her Instagram page (https://www.instagram.com/christinecouturecormier/). I had my first video consultation with Christine the day after I found her, and we discussed what went wrong with the first person and what I was hoping to achieve for my wedding day look. Not only was it clear that she knew what I was looking for, but she also had amazing ideas about the entire makeup experience on my wedding day that I hadn’t even thought of. Your makeup artist is SO important because you’ll have these photos forever and they’re the first vendor you interact with so they help set the mood for the day. Christine was an incredible presence the whole time she was there. She and the second makeup artist Lindsey made me and my entire bridal party look and feel amazing! Christine made incredible content with me and my bridal party and she was also there for my first look. She was the perfect calming presence I needed for the most exciting but stressful moment of the day. She helped fluff my dress and took photos and videos I was able to have immediately after the first look. You want to feel confident that your makeup artist is going to make you look and feel amazing, and I promise you can trust Christine with that! My guests were raving about my makeup! I felt done up and more special than my everyday makeup, but I still felt and looked like myself. Also the makeup lasted all night long! She is worth every single penny!! If you pick Christine to be your makeup artist you will not regret it!

Hello there! I'm Kdssociety, your go-to for creating radiant looks on special days like baby showers, weddings, birthdays, homecoming, holidays, and beyond. My passion is to make sure you not only look stunning but also leave my chair feeling beautifully special.

I was in a wedding 2 years ago and needed a makeup artist. I came across KD’s work through another friend, because she had done her face for her wedding and it was stunning. I’m not makeup oriented, but when I want to look dolled up I don’t want to look like a completely different person. While KDs range of work spans from Soft glam to dramatic, she gave me exactly what I was looking for. I didn’t want to be caked up full of makeup, I wanted to still look like myself just enhanced a little. I loved it! And here I am attending another event this year where I wanted a complete look, and KD is my go to. She is worth booking over and over again, she’s super professional, sweet and kind. She’s informative, can educate you on what she’s doing without making one feel uncomfortable or small due to the lack of knowledge. She has a beautiful spirit and it shines in her work. I absolutely love her.

I cannot say enough good things about Kristin! She did hair and makeup for myself, two bridesmaids, our flower girl, and styled my grandmother’s hair on the morning of my wedding. Despite an unexpected hiccup due to a wreck on the interstate, therefore delaying her arrival to the venue, she remained so professional. Her positivity was probably the only thing that kept me calm that morning! She expertly adjusted the schedule, prioritizing myself and my maid of honor so I was perfectly ready for my first look. Not only did she work efficiently, but the results were stunning! I felt more beautiful than I ever have in my life. She truly captured the vision I had for myself, my family, and my bridal party. Beyond her incredible talent, she brought so much joy and fun to our morning. Her humor and warmth added to the excitement and ease of the day. I will absolutely be going to her for any future formal events, and I highly recommend her to anyone seeking a beauty professional who will make you feel gorgeous, confident, and completely cared for.

During the trial run, the hair stylist, Mona, took my vague description of "Game of Thrones but maybe a bit Jane Austen?" and gave me a gorgeous braided updo. On the wedding day, Marquita and Mona arrived on time and finished hair and makeup for me and the ladies in our wedding party (who also looked fabulous) with time to spare. They were kind, responsive, and collaborative throughout. It was great to work with both of them and I recommend them wholeheartedly.

Seema is AMAZING! She is so kind & easy to work with and truly passionate about her business. From the trial to my actual wedding day, Seema made sure she was able to capture the look I was going for. She guided me (because I am no makeup expert) and she gave me the exact look I was going for. I felt so beautiful & it really set the tone for the day. There will never be enough words to thank her for making me feel confident on the best day of my life. I couldn’t recommend her enough!!

Ne'Kea and her team really helped me and my ladies feel and look amazing! We kicked the big day off in the best way we knew how - vibing and dancing to Beyonce and just having a great time. She set me at ease with her calming and familiar presence and truly worked her magic. I'd book her 1000x over!
