My wedding day turned into rain then CRAZY wind. My hair was a MESS after the ceremony. But she fixed me up! And we changed the look for reception! No complaints at all!

A luxury beauty experience for the modern woman! My beauty philosophy is simple, "When you look good you feel good. When you feel good you do better".I started Nina Renee beauty because I believe that we all deserve to have the celebrity-style beauty experience of our dreams. As a high-end makeup artist servicing some of Washington DC's most prestigious residents for over eight years, I always found it hard to find my "Glam team".

Awarded Best of Zola
My experience was nothing short of incredible! Hair and makeup was one of the most important vendors to me so when I saw the work that the Veux team produced I knew that I needed to book. They checked in on my several times during the process and really worked with me to narrow down my ideas. I am extremely happy with my wedding day results and I encourage any bride reading this to invest in this service. They are everything that they say more.

    Alina was absolutely wonderful MUA and made me feel beautiful but still like myself. We ended up doing two make up trials because I changed what I was asking for and I was so happy I did. My makeup lasted all night, didn't move a bit, and looked amazing in person and in pictures. I also loved how Svetlana did my hair! I asked for my hair down but pinned back with soft curls and it lasted through a full day of very warm temperatures and held my long veil in no problem. 10/10 to both of these ladies could not recommend enough!!

    I was attending a formal wedding in DC & needed an updo. I googled online and through Senema Beauty I was put in touch w Aida. We worked out the details via text. She came to my hotel & did my hair in about 40 minutes! It was the same price as if I had travelled to a DC salon!!! Totally worth it!! Took away a lot of stress & 2 Uber rides! It looked absolutely AMAZING!! It stayed up for over 8 hours & never lost its shape or styling in the back. Even with the 98 degree DC heat, my tendril curls that framed my face stayed curled with the finishing spray that she used. Aida is very talented and should be used for any event where you need a stunning updo! She was a true joy to work with! I wish she lived in ATL!

    Kelsea and Alena made me feel so beautiful on my wedding day. Kelsea chatted with me via Zoom to get an idea of what the day was going to be like and the look I was going for. I did a trial at Kelsea's studio in Virginia and I got to hang out with her adorable pup while she brought my vision to life and asked me lots of helpful questions. She then took feedback from the trial so that Alena, who was my artist on my wedding day, could execute a perfected version of the trial look. My hair isn't the easiest to work with because it's very straight and fine, but Alena got it to hold its waves all night without it feeling gross and weighed down by product. She also accentuated the purple highlights I got done shortly before the wedding to match my flowers flawlessly so that the purple showed through without being overpowering. She checked in every step of the way while doing my makeup and made sure I was good with the shades that she picked. I don't usually wear a lot of makeup so I was worried about not feeling like myself, but Kelsea and Alena achieved the perfect balance between looking glamorous, but still natural. I didn't have a bridal party, but Alena did my mom's hair and makeup as well and she looked beautiful. Cannot recommend Artistry by Kelsea enough!

    Bianca is incredibly talented and just the best! She did the makeup for my May 2024 Indian fusion wedding (both for my wedding day and my Sangeet), and I could not have felt more beautiful. Something that was incredibly important to me when deciding on a MUA was finding an artist that is well experienced with a variety of skin tones. Bianca absolutely killed it while doing a variety of different looks. Leading up to my wedding, I went to Bianca for a few facials. The actual experience of the facial was so relaxing, and my skin was so hydrated and glowing leading up to my wedding. After my wedding, I also asked Bianca if she could do a makeup class for me. She had made me feel truly so beautiful (but still like myself). The class made makeup approachable for someone who has very limited makeup experience. She was SO thorough afterwards in all the materials she sent me with instructions and products listed to be able to recreate the looks we went over. I cannot recommend Bianca enough for all of her services!!

That inspired me to pursue my passion for natural, skin-forward artistry for beauty, bridal, film, and television. Over the past 20+ years, I’ve honed my craft under the guidance of industry greats including Kristina Gasperas andTerri Tomlinson, among others. My work has been featured on respected platforms such as Washingtonian Weddings, Washington Family Magazine, the Emmy Awards (Capital Region), NASA, DCW50 (Washington DC’s CW Network), Everyday Wealth with Soledad O’Brien and Jean Chatzky, and Miss Virginia Teen USA,

    Awarded Best of Zola
    WOW! Kiley absolutely blew me away with the look she was able to achieve for my wedding. As a no-makeup girlie, I was quite nervous to wear any on the big day and not feel like myself. Her consultation process is extensive because her attention to detail on every wish you want is spot-on. I told her I wanted a bit of pop of color possibly on my lips but overall just wanted to enhance my beauty with soft pink tones. I highly, highly recommend doing the trial session first because it helped us realize what colors looked good on me and how much makeup I actually wanted on. She is an expert at applying individual fake lashes which 1) helped me not bleed mascara down my face when I cried and 2) looked stunning without looking unnatural! After the trial, I emailed her some of my thoughts and she executed my vision perfectly on the actual day. She also made my mother and maid of honor look absolutely gorgeous; we all felt so confident and beautiful all day long! Most of all, she was just such a sweet presence the day-of and the whole planning process. I am so incredibly appreciative of Kiley's artistic gift and cannot recommend her enough!!!

    Carla Pressley - Hair Stylist & Makeup Artist 

    4.2

    • Serves Washington, DC

    I’m Carla Pressley and I do hair and makeup! I’m a mixed African American/Korean chick born the year of the DOG in July which makes me a fiercely loyal sentimental Cancer. I also talk to most dogs and have been the proud mother to two Jindo dogs. I laugh EXACTLY like my two brothers, TRY eating vegan most of the time, LOVE yoga, and tear up EVERY time dads see’s the bride for the first time.

    When I was looking for a hair and makeup artist, I wanted someone who I felt confident could help me decide the look for my wedding and come up with options for my naturally curly hair. However, I knew the deciding factor would be whether I felt confident that the artist could make every member of my bridal party that was diverse (in terms of race, disability, and LGBTQ) bridal party look and feel beautiful. Carla's portfolio showed me that she really lives her values of inclusion and I booked her with full confidence after our phone consultation the day after my inquiry. She gave me different options for the schedule for either just her or her and a team. I ended up going with the option of her and her team to not start so early and have a more efficient schedule. I was right to place my trust in her and the team she works with! I did a trial a couple weeks before my wedding, which I cannot recommend highly enough. It was definitely one of the most fun experiences of the entire wedding planning process! Carla spent a few hours with me trying different looks based on my inspiration photos and the vibe of my dress. I left so excited and knowing I had options I liked based on how I was feeling and the weather. On my wedding day she and her team were fantastic and executed flawlessly and made everyone comfortable on what was a hectic morning. My mother hadn't worn makeup since her wedding almost 40 years ago. My sister and maid of honor is also autistic with intellectual disabilities and had never worn makeup but wanted to be included (and look like a princess!) Carla and her team (special shoutout to makeup artist Mong!) were so patient and understanding and put them both at ease, which I appreciated so much. My other bridesmaids had a wonderful experience with makeup artist Nas as well. In terms of myself, I can say without question I've never felt more beautiful and glamorous but still myself than I did on my wedding day. Carla came with us to the church and fixed my veil that blew off during my first look and touched up everyone before we walked down the aisle. The look stayed the whole day and my hair held through the dip in our first dance into the after party. Going with Carla for hair and makeup was easily one of the best decisions I made in wedding planning and I cannot recommend her highly enough!

    Karma's Kreations Artistry was an excellent choice for our wedding day beauty needs. Aubrielle was very assertive in her communication with me, which I appreciated as it ensured we were on the same page throughout the process. The quality of her work was truly professional, attentive, and aimed to satisfy - she promptly arrived at the wedding location and did an exceptional job applying makeup on me and my mother. Aubrielle was also very personable and friendly, making the experience enjoyable. I really appreciate the time and attention given to me as a bride-to-be, and the trial run before the wedding day was an excellent idea that avoided any surprises. The reasonable pricing and excellent customer service provided by Karma's Kreations Artistry was a win-win, and I would highly recommend them to any couple planning their special day.
