Makeup in Richmond

“I enrolled in the Body Sculpting course and the information and instruction is clear and to the point! I love the fact that we have access to her and can ask questions about anything we need further detail about. She truly makes herself accessible to reach out to when in need.“

“Katie is the absolute best! She does my lashes, brows, and waxing, and I’m always so happy with how everything turns out. Her waxing is honestly next level - it barely hurts, which is such a win. On top of that, she’s just such a fun, kind person. I always look forward to my appointments because it feels like catching up with a friend who also happens to make you look amazing. Can’t recommend her enough!“

“Absolutely loved Krista and April! Both of them provided hair and makeup services for myself and my bridesmaids on my wedding day.

Previously before coming to Ave 42, I had a terrible trial experience with another wedding vendor.

I called Ave42 in a pinch and prayed they had an opening to help me on my wedding day and luckily they did. Diane was absolutely amazing, providing guidance, advice and help.

At my trial, both Krista and April helped my wedding hair and makeup inspiration come to life and later on my wedding day. It was absolutely perfect! I highly recommend them. They are extremely professional and helpful at making recommendations that made my day amazing.“

“This was my first time getting a facial and it was just perfect. Kay has the sweetest personality and makes you feel welcome and comfortable. She explained everything from start to finish and recommended products for my skin. I could not be happier with the service. Looking forward to the next one. ??“

“I used Grace Salon for my wedding hair and makeup. Lacey and Megan were both wonderful to work with. All of my bridesmaid loved their looks and I did too! I absolutely recommend them for both regular services and any special event looks you may need.“

“If you go to Mango on Grove, you have to ask for Kayleigh!! I’ve been seeing her for years & she is phenomenal- always so professional, kind, and gets your hair exactly how you want it. She can do any hair service you need & I always look forward to dreaming up new looks & ideas with her and couldn’t recommend her more.“

“Hair color been going over 10 years they are very professional and v good with there wrk“

“Krista was absolutely wonderful! Having an engagement hair & makeup appointment with a stylist you've never met before can be nerve-wrecking, but she was wonderful in listening to what I was interested in and brought that vision to light! Makeup was also perfect - she gave me the natural glow/radiant look I was hoping for. Would definitely recommend!“

“Live Fancy Makeup really helped transform me from a lil tomboy to a bride, lol. Shannon was great to work with. She is extremely talented and professional. She was very punctual and consistent in her communication with me. She graciously conducted two trials before the wedding day and she was very receptive and welcoming to feedback. I sent her reference photos and she was able to implement changes that aligned with my vision. I really wanted a natural look and she delivered. I got my makeup done at 9:30 for a 1pm ceremony. The makeup lasted all day (I washed it off that evening before bed) with no cracking or creasing. I just needed to reapply lip stick, but it was a lot going on so it didn’t happen, lol. I highly recommend her and I would choose Live Fancy Makeup all over again.“

“On point...need I say more, but I will, from my 1st visit Alesia has been amazing...her work speaks for its self Awesome!!! This young lady is professional, thorough, and fast...she gets you in and out, I'm so glad I found her, she keeps you coming back?❤️??“

“Simone was absolutely wonderful! She gave me the most beautiful blonde color I’ve ever had and delivered on exactly what I wanted! Pictures don’t do it any justice. Great conversation, wonderful atmosphere, and an amazing stylist. Highly recommend!“

“Her coloring skills are amazing! Loved how she styled my hair, Maria has a great personality, I brought a pony tail in with me and last minute asked for an install and she did a great job!“

“First visit, found it to be clean, modern and friendly salon in Stony Point Village off Huguenot Road.“

“I had a great experience my first time here I got a gel full set with design and a gel manicure and it just really made my day feel like a baddie ?“

“✨ 5-Star Review for Yvette ✨

I want to give a huge THANK YOU to Yvette for the amazing job she did on my mom’s hair! ?? Her hair was thinning, and that had really started to affect her confidence — but Yvette completely changed that. She gave my mom a fresh new look that not only turned heads but also lifted her spirit in the best way possible.

Yvette was gentle, professional, and so knowledgeable about how to care for thinning hair. The results were beautiful, natural, and truly transformative. My mom left smiling and feeling like herself again — and that’s priceless.

I highly recommend Yvette for all your hair care needs. If you’re looking for someone who cares, listens, and delivers flawless work, she’s the one! ??‍♀️?“

“A great place for hairstyling - small and intimate and care about your overall satisfaction. The staff are professional and Chris is a great stylist for curly hair - one of the best. I recommend the place highly“

“Mailey helped us get ready for my wedding; she and Camilla did a fabulous job!! We looked like ourselves but enhanced which was exactly what I wanted, and both hair and makeup was all lightweight and comfortable to wear all day. She gave us great tips, left us with a touch up kit, and was overall a joy to work with!“

“Briana is fabulous! She is professional, thoughtful, and down to earth! She is very skilled with her craft and I will be a repeat customer & recommend her ♾️ and beyond! I told her what I would be wearing, and she matched it to the t! She is highly qualified & very personable!“

“Victoria did makeup and hair for my wedding. I did a trial with her beforehand and felt like she really listened to what I wanted and made adjustments to things I asked her to. Everyone looked amazing amazing on the day of the wedding. Unfortunately she had an unexpected situation arise that made her late. Thankfully she had an awesome assistant already working with us until she could get there. When Victoria did arrive, she was calm and got right to work so everyone was ready on time for the ceremony.“

“My girlfriend and I were staying 2 nights at the Hilton and decided to do a couples massage. Julienne and Parker were AMAZING. Very thorough check in process. Before the massage, they asked if we had any specific requests and gave us the full rundown because it was our first ever full body massage. The massage itself was AMAZING. Afterwards, my girlfriend and I felt like we were floating with serenity. Would DEFINITELY recommend to anyone staying at the Hilton or nearby in the Short Pump area.“

“I had such an amazing experience with Kirsty! I needed to Makeup Artist last minute and she stepped in. She was so peaceful and such a calming presence when preparing for my wedding. She does an amazing job and I’d highly recommend her to anyone. I did a trial with her and it was absolutely beautiful just like it was on my wedding day. She will bring your vision to life and is a joy to be around.“

“Kim is very thorough and experienced in coloring. She provides consistent results.Entire staff is super friendly. Place is very clean and water is provided.“

“Every time I get my hair cut by Charles it looks amazing the patience and enthusiasm he works with to make me get exactly what I’m looking for is great.
The place is a very good vibe and the convince of bringing my dog is a +“

“Ronda is professional and caring, gives great explanations for all her services and you leave not only looking great, but with great tips on how to maintain your glow!“
