look no further! 100000/10!!

“ I had the pleasure of working with The Stylist Abroad for my wedding on 11.6 and I wouldn't have wanted to work with anyone else. From the trial (2 years ago, thanks to covid) to the day of the wedding, The Stylist Abroad was accommodating, helpful, responsive, professional and purely amazing. I changed my mind multiple times on hair style and Ashley was there to answer questions and talk through them with me. Michelle was my actual hair stylist and my hair was perfect and stayed perfect the entire night. All of my bridesmaids loved their hair as well and came out how they wanted! Michelle and Sarah did everything from curls, to kids up dos, to funky braids. If you are looking for a hair stylist for your wedding, look no further! 100000/10!! Thank you for being apart of my special day and making my hair pinterest worthy!”

100/10 would recommend!!

“Ashley was AMAZING. We had a trial, and I ended up changing the style I wanted for my wedding a couple weeks later, and she was still able to create the exact look I had envisioned in my head. She was able to work with my textured hair to effortlessly. She also styled my sisters hair and somehow made us all have so much volume. Not to mention that my hair looked flawless even tho I danced for hours! One more thing, she is the kindest person, she is so inclusive and supportive of her clients no matter who they are! 100/10 would recommend!!”

We actually ran ahead of schedule

“Michelle and Asia are top notch! We had 11 bridesmaids, sisters, and mothers to glam up the day of, and they were both efficient, professional, and SO talented! From a low chignon for me (bride), to romantic braids, ponytails, hair down in curls for my bridesmaids, or working to create a sleek and chic look for my mom, they were able to envision it and deliver. We actually ran ahead of schedule and their relaxing demeanor helped to make the whole getting ready experience a blast!”

the best part was how relaxed and special she made me feel

“When looking for someone to trust with my wedding and and makeup look, The Stylist Abroad team came highly recommended- but I could not have imagined how wonderful the experience would have been! From first glance at the website and instagram page for The Stylist Abroad, I was drawn to how much LGBTQIA and diverse representation was present in the pictures and posts. And as simple as it sounds, I loved that the inquiry form asks about preferred pronouns. I was also super impressed that they used vegan and cruelty free products! In my first conversation with Ashley, I could see how much she cared about giving each person a wonderful wedding experience that matches their style. After we talked about my style, Ashley was able to find a set of beautiful moon and star hair pieces that perfectly accessorized my updo. Ashley is also very responsive, which was crucial with our short timeline. For the trial and our wedding day, I worked with Katelyn and she is such a talented and wonderful person! Katelyn asked a couple questions about how I pictured my wedding day look and she brought my vision to life. She accentuated all of my favorite features. I felt glamorous and got so many compliments! As amazing as Katelyn’s skill was, the best part was how relaxed and special she made me feel. In all of the wedding day craziness, Katelyn created a peaceful environment and I was able to unwind, chat, and even have some good laughs that helped me get into the perfect mindset to absorb the beauty of the rest of the day.”

would recommend to anyone

“This company is so professional and so fun to work with! I loved the way my hair and makeup looked at my wedding. Michelle was able to secure a beautiful hair piece and style my hair exactly as I had described. Jenna was equally talented and provided a natural makeup look that I was hoping for. My mothers make up and hair was also done really well. I love their inclusive mission and would recommend to anyone looking for a makeup artist in the DMV area.“

I’m so glad our planner recommend

“This is long overdue, but as I’ve been attending weddings after our own I’ve been reflecting on how I’m so glad our planner recommend The Stylist Abroad after my original vendor closed her business during the pandemic. The business itself is progressive and aligns with all the values that are important to me. Michelle was the most wonderful stylist. I did not have a traditional bridal party, so she created unique looks for my friends and family. They all looked stunning! She even stayed late when we asked for her help putting flowers in the flower girl’s hair. That was totally above and beyond, but she said she was happy to do it. Professional and considerate to the max! “

I researched several companies before selecting someone for my bridal makeup and hands down, I made the best decision!

“I researched several companies before selecting someone for my bridal makeup and hands down, I made the best decision! Our stylist, Ariana, was super personable and professional! I love the air brush makeup, the quality products she used was outstanding, everyone who got their makeup done looked fabulous and it felt so light on. They make traveling to our location easy and feel hassle free. I had my trail done at a different place than where we got ready for the ceremony and both times Ariana was early and adapted easily to the space available.”

The entire process went so smoothly

“The Stylist Abroad team was so amazing to work with! From the beginning I could tell that they care about their clients AND potential clients, which speaks volume. The entire process went so smoothly. I can't thank Katelyn enough for making my girls and me look so beautiful on my wedding day!”

Everything was wonderful, efficient, and thoughtful.

“Ashley was phenomenal! She did both my hair and make up day of, and captured the look I wanted perfectly. She also made sure I was comfortable throughout, including things as small as asking if I wanted my freckles to show rather than making the decision for me. I wanted to have a more fantasy/forest leaning wedding, and she didn't even bat an eye at that request. The makeup was gorgeous and stayed put the entire night. My hair was tamed, curled, and stayed styled even though it was half down and I danced plenty through the night. Everything was wonderful, efficient, and thoughtful.”

I LOVE how the Stylist Abroad team truly leads with their values.

“From my first call with Ashley to the beautiful work of Michelle, I am so thankful for the Stylist Abroad team! Ashley was so friendly and knowledgeable in my intro phone call. She was able to answer questions I had about using cultural hairpieces for my Indian fusion wedding. Michelle was wonderful and flexible for my trial, being super patient while we perfected my look and offering great suggestions on adaptations and hair pieces. She made me feel so fancy and beautiful for my wedding day. They also proactively coordinated with my makeup artist which was SUPER nice for a busy bride! I LOVE how the Stylist Abroad team truly leads with their values. They are inclusive, culturally responsive, and thoughtful in their in-person and social media approach. I could not be happier that they were involved in my special day. “

she took my feedback and turned it into reality

“I loved working with Ashley Peters! Her technique is elite and I love how she listens to her clients. We had a test trial and I did not like the way my bun looked. I showed her another inspiration photo and she took my feedback and turned it into reality! I loved my bohemian braid and how it has so much texture and volume. My sister had the big Hollywood waves and looked so classic. My moms bun was so elegant and stayed up the entire night! Would 10/10 recommend Ashley for your wedding hair!”

She was punctual, sweet, funny, talented, and knew exactly what I was asking for. 5/5 stars, book them today!!

“The Stylist Abroad provided hair and make up services for my wedding in December 2023. Ashley, owner, was easy to get in touch with and provided clear pricing expectations. She set me up with my hair and make up artist, Katelyn, who provided my actual beauty services. The Stylist Abroad values inclusiveness and diversity, which is a big part of what drew me to them.

Katelyn's actual beauty services left me and my bridal party feeling gorgeous, confident, and ready for hours and hours of dancing.

She worked magic!

“Ashley was AMAZING! I tend to be a perfectionist so it was extremely comforting to know I was in such great hands! Ashley made the process stress-free and maintained great communication throughout, including periodic check-ins and suggestions. She offers a trial, which was super helpful to help me decide what look I wanted. She was able to combine ideas from two different looks I found off pinterest and create my dream updo! Not only is she a gifted and creative stylist, she is so personal and fun to be around! My wedding party and I had a blast getting ready with her the morning of my wedding! She also took the time to pamper each one of my bridesmaids and give them their dream hair as well! I would also like to commend her for being timely, professional, and prepared! This girl has her routine perfected down to a science! Given how frizzy and curly my hair is naturally, I was AMAZED at how great my hair still looked after my outdoor wedding in 95 degrees! She worked magic! I was so impressed with the quality of products that she used and the final outcome! I could not be more thankful that I decided to use The Stylist Abroad!”

SO professional and understanding about the change of date for my wedding due to COVID. Zero stress.

“Ashley is an incredible stylist and I found her and Stylist Abroad through a recommendation for a curly hair stylist! We did a trial and she was totally cool and understanding when I went in thinking I wanted one look and ended up with something very different, and was SO professional and understanding about the change of date for my wedding due to COVID. Zero stress. I eloped on my original wedding date and was going back and forth about asking her to do my hair for my private ceremony with just my fiancé and photographer, and was SO happy that I did. Not only did I feel like a bride again when she came over at practically the crack of dawn to do my hair in my apartment, but looking at the sneak peek photos of my elopement, her work on my hair completed my elopement look. I wanted a "me, but better" vibe, and she sure did that. Thank you, Ashley. Excited to keep in touch for next year for the big party. :) “
