    I've had a pleasure of working with Ali twice- the first time as a bridesmaid at a friends wedding and the second, as the bride (11/18). The first time, I was impressed with how beautiful she made every bridesmaid look and feel, and so I asked her to do my glam for my big day. Ali is always delightful and puts anyone at ease with her radiant personality. Her work is stunning- Makeup is flawless and stays put all day/night long. I got so many compliments on my updo and I think it was due to her attention to detail and knowledge of different hair types. She listens to each woman's vision, but trust her as she is very talented and experienced in what looks good in person and in pictures. Trust me, you won't go wrong with Ali by your side!

    Ali did the hair and makeup look for my wedding day even better than I had imagined it! Not only was she on time for all the bridesmaid appointments and my own, she was incredibly gracious and professional. She is so kind-hearted and bubbly that you immediately click with her as if she is one of the bridesmaids herself. She does such flawless, elegant and sturdy updos - everyone's style stayed perfectly secure through the entire wedding night of dancing! The makeup showed beautifully in all the photos that we will have forever. I highly recommend Ali and her quality of work!

    Our wedding planner and I came across Ali's work in the Washingtonian and loved how natural her brides looked. I cannot express how fortunate I feel that Ali was available to be my hair and make up stylist on our wedding day. Ali was so positive, patient, and was effortlessly able to make my entire wedding party (including the Moms) feel and look their best. During the trial phase, Ali was so accessible and was happy to try different looks for this uncertain bride, so that the wedding day was stress-free. On top of being incredibly professional, prompt, and talented, Ali is just a wonderful person who everyone loved being around. Upon request, I have given Ali's contact info to several brides-to-be already!! I cannot rave enough.

    Ali is the BEST. Randomly it is really hard to find someone who does both hair and makeup, let alone at an affordable price, and Ali checks all these blocks. She is so much fun, which is pretty important when you are very nervous right before your big moment! I really appreciated how much she listened - she made me feel like a glammed up and extra beautiful version of myself, not like I was in a costume or wearing tons and tons of stage makeup. If you are looking for someone to create a beautiful, natural look, Ali is your girl. I really cannot say enough how awesome she was!

    Ali Wear is not only an incredible woman inside and out, she is a creative designer that executes perfection. Her eye on style trends and communication to her bride are beyond compare. If you want to feel like a celebrity on your wedding day, book Ali today! Not only did Ali listen to exactly what my thoughts were for my hair and make-up she intuitively knew what I was trying to achieve for the big day. She arrived at my parents home with a calm presence and after she set up her tools, she put on this lovely music with a Parisian tonality, which set this beautiful calmness on the morning. I was enjoying every moment and next thing I knew, my flat fine hair had volume with a gorgeous braided chignon! All of my friends and family were so impressed! I love showing off my hair in my photos every chance I get!

    Not only did Ali provide me with a beautifully calming experience, I felt nothing less than fantastic. She is a designer with so much talent and skill. Not only did she make me feel like a gorgeous bride, she also did the calligraphy of my place cards for all of my guests. She can truly do it all! Search no further, Ali is your designer extraordinaire!

    I can't say enough what a pleasure it was to work w. Ali. I have incredibly thick hair that I am very particular about so I was nervous when it came time to select a hair stylist. I've never really had a good experience in the past. Upon meeting Ali for my trial, she put me right at ease and knew exactly what to do w. all my hair. I explained the look I was going for and she made it happen! I explained to her that I wasn't sure whether to put my hair up or down and she was so accommodating- she offered to meet me at my venue after the ceremony that she could style my hair differently for the reception. She really wants to make sure her brides look their best and knows how to deliver on that. Ali is WONDERFUL and I can't recommend her highly enough. Talent aside, she is so fun to talk to and has a way about her that puts you at ease. Hire Ali- she is the best!

    Ali is as sweet as can be! We met up before my wedding for a trial run and I ended up leaving her home feeling like I had just been hanging out with one of my best girlfriends. It was so wonderful seeing her again on the morning of my wedding and I knew I was in great hands!

    Ali was so easy to work with and did I mention she's super talented! Everyone's hair looked fantastic!! The hair trial was fun and provided not only an opportunity to play with hair but also to get to know Ali. She also provided sage wedding day advice that came in handy. Highly recommend!!

    Ali is incredible! Her attention to detail and exquisite taste really come through in her creations. She is exceptionally attentive to her clients and really pampers them.

She uses the finest quality products around and truly brings out all the natural beauty of her clients! Truly stunning work on both hair and makeup.

    Ali is absolutely wonderful! I was living overseas the 4 months before my wedding and did not come back to the US until the week before my wedding. This was not a problem for Ali! She was so flexible and sweet and scheduled my run-through just a few days before my big day. I have to say, the run-through experience was one of my favorite pre-wedding events. It was a blast and I felt extremely comfortable with Ali - as if she was an old friend! The day of the wedding she showed up (and brought me Starbucks!) and did my hair and makeup as well as both my sisters' hair. We all looked stunning. I've never been happier with a hair experience! If you are getting married in the northern VA area you should definitely use Ali. She is completely worth it!

    Ali was fantastic! She was so easy to work with and I loved how my hair and make up turned out! I would definitely recommend Ali and/or use her again.

    Ali was one of the bright lights on my daughter’s wedding day. She appeared at our DC hotel at exactly the time we requested and with a cheery demeanor got right to work. She created a beautiful look for my daughter that surpassed everything we hoped for. Her up-do lasted throughout the afternoon and into the evening on a hot and humid day in July. My daughter’s makeup was inspired by photos she had shown Ali at her trial run and in the end, her look was flawless. During a very sweet moment, as the two little flower girls watched in awe at the transformation of the bride, much to their delight, Ali offered to brush a little blush on their beaming faces. I am very thankful for the referral we received which led us to Ali and I enthusiastically recommend her to any bride-to-be.

    Ali was miracle worker. My family has flat, straight, thin hair that cannot hold a curl to save its life. She transformed us into having beautiful updos that lasted all night. We all looked beautiful, but still looked like ourselves. Ali also was incredibly calm on the day of and made sure she took the time to make sure that everyone looked perfect, while still finishing ahead of schedule. Each look was similar, but allowed our own personality to come through. I really enjoyed working with Ali and would highly recommend her.

    I got married this past weekend and Ali did my hair and makeup, as well as that of 3 members of my bridal party and my mother-in-law. I found her through an extensive internet search via United with Love. I was attracted to the natural looks she creates, obvious talent, and good pricing. Ali did an unbelieveable job on all of us. Everyone looked and felt incredible - hair and makeup were completely natural looking and subtle, yet brought out all of our best features. She has a very critical eye toward everyone's unique features and knows exactly what to do and what products to use to make us look like ourselves, but better. Most of us do not wear a ton of makeup or do much with our hair normally, and Ali was very encouraging and worked diligently to make sure all of us felt comfortable and beautiful. She is so incredibly friendly and nice and knows her stuff. She expressed her thoughts and expertise in a very diplomatic way, so we couldn't help but trust her and know everything she was doing was going to make us look beautiful. My makeup was amazing and stayed looking beautiful all night, even with a few tears here and there. My hair (a beautiful low-ish up-do to the side) looked beautiful all night as well (and stayed beautiful into the wee hrs of the morning).

    I could not have asked for anything more from Ali. She was amazing and I highly recommend her to any and all brides!

    Ali is not only a fabulous hair and makeup artist, she's an absolute doll! She is very flexible and accommodating as I had to change my hair trial date a few times. She is easily accessible, professional, knowledgeable, and extremely helpful. She gave me a list of products to purchase for the wedding day, providing me with suggestions on where to splurge and where to save. She knows how to work with various hair texture types and different skin tones. Ali is your girl if you want to look and feel gorgeous on your wedding day!

    Ali is AWESOME. She was very affordable and did a phenomenal job on my hair and makeup. Literally all you have to do is show her a picture of what you want and she can most likely get it exactly like it. She brought all the supplies (minus the extensions, of course) and kept me laughing the whole time she worked.

    She does a trial run through, for hair and makeup, so you feel extremely confident in her abilities the day of.

    Would totally recommend her to any bride who wants to look gorgeous on their big day!

    I was very thankful to have found Ali when I did. My wedding was only a couple of weeks away and it was the weekend after Thanksgiving. She was quick to respond, which made me feel better since I didn't have much time left before the wedding. She was flexible with our meeting time for the run through; we met in the evening after work. I had an early morning wedding, and Ali showed up on time at 6AM. I showed her pictures of makeup styles that I was looking for. I don't normally wear much makeup, so I didn't want anything too dramatic. She was open to my feedback and very willing to make changes if I wasn't comfortable with something. I had so many compliments the day of my wedding on my hair and makeup. Ali made me look and feel great!

    I highly, highly recommend Ali Wear as a hair and makeup artist for your wedding. I usually don't like my hair when I get it done, but I absolutely loved what Ali did for me. She is incredibly talented. I heard of her from a few friends and I have continued to recommend her to others. She is wonderful!

    Ali does the MOST wonderful job on hair and make up EVER. She only did my hair, but I'm a photographer and have worked with brides where she has done both. I wish I would have had her do my make up, too. Look no further. Seriously.

    Ali is simply awesome! I was so worried before my wedding coz I didnt have a hair and make person about 3 weeks before my wedding. Then I found Ali and as soon as I met her on our trial day, I knew I was goingto be taken care of. Ali handled my long wavy hair exactly the way I wanted. She listened so carefully to everything i said and all my comments. On the wedding day she was there before I was, She was so chatty and sunny I was super relaxed. The hair and makeup were simply gorgeous, they held up through 5 hours of non stop hard core dancing on a very humid day and I got so many compliments. Thank you Ali.

    Ali did a great job with my wedding day hair and makeup. She is super talented and so friendly. It felt completely natural to have her in the room with my bridesmaids while I got ready. A trial is included in her rates, and it helped me to better understand what I wanted for my big day. She travels to your venue location and is very prompt. I would definitely recommend her to other brides.
