Makeup near North Bethesda

“Booked Makeup by Danaya for my girlfriend and she absolutely killed it. Super professional, easy to communicate with, and paid attention to every detail. The makeup came out flawless and looked even better in person. It lasted all day and she got so many compliments. You can tell she really knows what she’s doing and cares about her work. Definitely worth it and we’ll be booking again.“

“Christin was truly one of the best decisions I made for my wedding weekend. I cannot say enough wonderful things about her! She did my makeup for my engagement shoot, rehearsal dinner and my wedding day, and I was absolutely obsessed with how everything turned out. She made me look and feel more beautiful than I ever imagined while still making me feel completely like myself!!

Not only is she incredibly talented, but she also brought the absolute best energy to the entire weekend. She made getting ready so much fun, kept everyone calm and laughing and made me feel so confident and excited for each event. My makeup lasted flawlessly all day and night and looked incredible in-person and in photos.

If you’re looking for someone who is exceptionally talented, professional and someone you’ll genuinely love having with you on one of the biggest days of your life, Christin is absolutely the one! I would recommend her 100% to anyone without hesitation!“

“I couldn’t be happier with my hair and makeup for my wedding! Mona did an absolutely amazing job, everything was perfect and exactly what I had envisioned. The trial beforehand was such a great way to prepare; it made the wedding day smooth and stress-free because she already knew exactly what worked best for me. Mona and her team were so kind, calm, and professional throughout the entire process, and I truly felt my best. I can’t recommend her enough!“

“I finally cashed in on a gifted makeup tutorial with Valerie and had the best time! I was a little nervous coming in as a makeup beginner, but Valerie put me right at ease and gave a great lesson - we focused on upping my daily routine to be a little more polished, and then some options to go bigger for more professional or formal settings. I learned a lot and got some great new product recs more appropriate for my skin/age. Highly recommend!“

“I am so beyond happy with my results! They came out even better than I expected, and I’m honestly so excited. I keep looking at myself in the mirror because I look so much more awake, bright, and refreshed. I love my results so, so much!

Kaydi has the best customer service. She is so sweet, has amazing energy, is very attentive, professional, and just overall amazing. I also love that the service doesn’t damage my lashes, which makes me feel even better about getting it done.

Thank you so much again! I’m so happy with everything and I can’t wait to be back. I’m definitely getting this again!“

“Rodrigo gave my son his first ever haircut and was very sweet with him, and it looks great! He also cut my hair and I am used to hairdressers not understanding my hairtype and what I'm asking for..but Rodrigo listened, made sure we meant the same thing and is now officially the first hairdresser that has ever given me the exact haircut I wanted!! Yay! The price is also very fair, at 30 for a kid and 60 for my long hair. Thank you Rodrigo, I will be back for sure!“

“Another great experience with Frankie! Also had a great conversation with Gloria and realized I had known her years ago!

Stylist: Frankie and as always, he did an outstanding job!“

“I got my hair cut on a whim due to wanting a fresh start for the lunar new year. I really had no clear vision of what would look good on me but was able to find some clear inspiration pictures on Pinterest. Peng was very helpful in helping me come to a decision!

The haircut:
Peng was my stylist and I believe he did a great job. He was very approachable and skilled. We started with a hair wash, blow dry. Peng then blew my hair out, and finished with the haircut. I think this allowed for an easier way for me to see the vision. I am very pleased with how my hair turned out, and I’m glad I came to this salon.

As many reviews have mentioned: this is a primarily Chinese-speaking salon. This did present some communication barriers for me as Peng and I were unable to communicate as well as we would have wanted. Google translate did help a bit.

The space:
Tucked away on the side of a shopping center, the salon was a tad outdated and stuck to essentials. Otherwise clean and spacious. I also noticed that a lot of the brushes and scissors weren’t put into Barbicide. I’m not sure what the process of cleaning tools between clients is, so this is why I deducted 1 star due to me feeling a bit off about that.

Overall, I think my $75 haircut was well worth it for the amount of hair I cut off and getting to work with the pleasant Peng. If they up their cleanliness, I’d be sure to go back! Thank you, InStyle!“

“Angelo is a phenomenal hairstylist and such a positive, radiant person in general. This was my second visit with him and I am in love with the results. Not only did I leave the salon with a bomb hairstyle, but also an uplifted spirit from chatting with him!“

“Beautiful salon and super friendly environment! As a college student, I greatly appreciate their student discount. Miriam is the BEST wax technician I have ever had!! Very kind and great at her job, I would very highly recommend!“

“Emily was recommended to me by a friend. I am so happy with my experience with her. She was very professional and accommodating. I scheduled a studio H&M, buy few days before my event, I asked if she could do on location. She arrived on time at the said location. Her make up tools are clean. She took time to do my H&M. Her sweet personality makes it even better. Everybody loves my H&M (Glowing). I will definitely keep her contact and will schedule another service for my pictorial. I highly recommend her.“

“Kat was very pleasant to work with! First time getting my hair and make up done by her and I will definitely be back for sure. She was very sweet to talk to, easy to communicate with and her work was exceptionally amazing! ?“

“Sebastian has an energetic personality and gives a great haircut. And looking forward to getting highlights as prizes are very affordable for Bethesda and Chevy Chase“

“I’ve admired her work for years, so taking a makeup lesson with her was such a full-circle moment! She’s incredibly talented and explains everything in a way that’s easy to follow. I left feeling confident, inspired, and actually able to recreate the looks on my own. Highly recommend!“

“Love love love Thomas! He does a spectacular job every time. He’s very courteous, professional, and sincere.“
