Kristen Foster Hair Artistry

Kristen did a wonderful job with my wedding. She did a hair and makeup trial for me and I loved it. The day of the wedding I couldn't have asked for someone better. She was able to accommodate a last minute request for makeup and we weren't even delayed. Kristen is an awesome stylist and makeup artist and I would recommend her to anyone. She made me feel like a princess. Thank you!!!

Kristen did my hair and the hair of my three bridesmaids, flower girl, mom, and mother - in - law. She is phenomenal! She worked with me to figure out what I wanted and was so easy to get along with. She's very talented and working with her was a joy!

I am so happy that I hired Kristen Foster for my wedding. She did hair styles for me and my four bridesmaids. She was easy to work with and flexible when it came to doing the trial. On the day of the wedding she was exceptional! She came right on time, worked quickly, and helped us stay on track for the morning. My friends all had very different hair types, but everyone's hair looked stunning and stayed all night! She was professional, but at the same time, great to be around as we were getting ready. I was so happy with how my hair looked, and it looked just as good when I got home after the wedding. That to me is impressive!

Kristen was amazing and you MUST use her! She was great to work with and you absolutely can't beat her prices. I can honestly say that I have never looked or felt more beautiful than I did on my wedding day. My hair and make-up were perfect and Kristen was so fun to work with. She and her partner Felicia managed their way through hair and make-up for me, my four bridesmaids, my two flower girls, my mom and my husband's mom in about 5 hours! Not only were they quick, but everyone looked beautiful. Kristen was so understanding and really aimed to please, she worked on me until my every hair on my head was perfect and may face was flawless. She also double and triple checked with me to make sure I was happy with my style and makeup. I can't believe the number of comments I got from my guests and more importantly my husband, on how beautiful I looked. THANK YOU KRISTEN!

I booked Kristen for my bridal hair and makeup, and she does amazing work. I wanted to do my hair in a side ponytail with curls, and a flower, but she took it up a notch and made it more glam with some twists in the back (which we agreed on in my trial). She also did hair for seven of my bridesmaids, my mom and mother-in-law, and my husband's grandmother.My only word of caution is that, if you have a large bridal party, either give a lot of time for everyone to get their hair and makeup done, or look elsewhere. Kristen and her two assistants worked very quickly (and did a great job) with getting everyone's hair and makeup done, but I felt that we were very rushed near the end. To be honest, this is probably my fault more than Kristen's, because she had recommended that we start earlier (7:30 a.m. for a 4 p.m. ceremony) but I asked if we could start at 8:30 instead. Also, not everyone in my bridal party was around when Kristen's assistants could have been curling their hair or doing their makeup I probably should have listened to Kristen about the start time, because she and her assistants were having to really rush near the end. Overall Kristen is talented, organized, and great to work with, and I have already recommended her to other friends who are getting married.

Kristen and her team made my bridal party and I look awesome on my wedding day. They completed hair and makeup for 7 bridesmaids, myself, a grandma, and two mothers all in about 6 hours! She created styles for each and everyone of us that fit our personalities. She made everything look great from the shortest hair to the longest. Everyone who brought a picture was amazed how close their hair looked to the picture they had brought her to mimic. Additionally, Kristen has a wonderful personality and goes above and beyond to make sure everyone is happy with their look. She also did a fabulous job at my hair trial/bridal shoot. I would highly recommend her to any bride in the area. Thank you Kristen and team :-)

I was so happy that I choose Kristen to be the hairstylist for my wedding! Kristen has a great attitude and was ready to tackle all 13 people! She not only did her job wonderfully but she also brightened the room!

Kristen was really fun and great to work with. The hair trial couldn't have gone any better! I showed her photos of what I wanted, and of other failed trials and she gave me EXACTLY what I was looking for but couldn't describe. I felt like the cost was such a great value for how beautiful my hair looked. Wedding day was an equally great experience. She has a very lovely, bubbly personality and moved quickly, getting all 5 styles done on time. All hairdo's were really beautiful and unique, tailored to what each of my bridesmaids wanted, but with the same romantic style. My mom is very hard to please, and she really liked her hair... that just shows how great Kristen is!There were only two small "bummers" about my hair on wedding day. 1) that I forgot to bring the photos of my trial hair, so it's not exactly what I expected, and 2) my barrettes moved when I put on my wedding dress. If I could do it again, I would've obviously brought the trial pictures, and then asked her to stay to correct my hair barrettes. Nobody else noticed that they were wrong, so I only found out when I saw photos. However, I had a veil on in the wedding pictures so it's not like the moved barrette ruined anything, or was really her fault beyond that they could've been a little bit more secure. But to be honest, these are such small things that I am still extremely happy with my wedding day hair and with choosing Kristen as my hair stylist. I don't think you will find a better value for your wedding day hair!

All I have to say is Kristen is AMAZING!! She is the only person I trust with my hair period. Not only was my hair awesome, but the make-up job she did was perfect!! I even had a bridesmaid who showed up the day of my wedding with a black eye. After Kristen was done with her make-up you couldn't even tell it was there, and the make up looked so natural! You will be getting your money's worth if you hire Kristen!!!

I am a fellow hairstylist in the wedding business I was looking for someone with my similar style. When I got engaged I wanted to find someone who I could trust to do my hair as well as being very OCD as I am when it came to making the end result perfect. Kristen did an amazing job listening to what I was going for as well as fixing a few things from the trial to the wedding day. All of my bridesmaids were very happy with their hair and everyone looked beautiful! I couldn't have been more happy with my wedding hair, it was flattering to my face shape and was exactly what I was going for. Thanks so much Kristen!

Kristen provided the hair and makeup services for my daughters wedding on October 9, 2010 and everyone looked simply amazing. She easily handled a very large wedding party and the girls commented numerous times that she made getting ready fun and easy. She was excellent about having my daughter try different hairstyles before the swedding to ensure that she had exactly the best style to compliment her face and veil. Krsiten is always so professional and pleasant and she truly grasps the concept of world class customer service. This review is a testimony that if you hire her, that piece of the wedding palnning will be simply perfect. Krsiten is a wonder with hair and makeup and is able to efficiently handle a large wedding party flawlessly. She is GREAT!! SueAnn Jennings

Kristen was fantastic. When I had a disaster that resulted in my needing to find a new stylist less than a month before my wedding she was the one I chose. She responded to every email within hours, answered every question I had and even made time to schedule a trial within the limited time we had. She was upbeat and fun to work with and everyone, including my mother and all of my bridesmaids looked incredible on my wedding day. I am so glad that my original plans didn't work out and that I worked with her. There's no one else that I spoke to, or have ever heard of that even comes close.

Kristen did an absolutely amazing job with my hair and my bridal party's hair!She listened to what we were looking for and put gorgeous, creative twists to the look.All of my bridesmaids were extremely happy with the out come. I couldn't have imagined anything better.Patrick did a beautiful job on our make-up. Everyone's look was polished and accentuating. I would definitely recommend Kristen and Patrick for hair and make-up they are great to work with and their work exceeding their cost.Thanks Kristen and Patrick!

Kristin did a great job for my wedding. She knew how to work with my thin hair to create an updo that looked like a thick bun, and she did a great job with all my bridesmaids - some of whom had some very difficult hair! She arrived on time and was honest with everyone about what would and wouldn't work with her hair. She was also very flexible in arranging my hair trial - my first hair stylist fell through at the last minute, but Kristin worked with me until we found a time that would work for the trial. I'd highly recommend her services!

Kristen did an excellent job with my hair and makeup, as well as my five bridesmaids hair. She came on time and was able to do everyones hair the way they wanted, and, when my junior bridesmaid didn't know how she wanted her hair, Kristen created an updo herself and made her look gorgeous. I had a trial a week before the wedding, which made everything go smoothly on my wedding day. Kristen did a fantastic job and I recommend her to everyone.

I heard about Kristen through my MUA Lori Nansi. Our trial was great--I came unprepared without any accessories and only a vague idea of what I wanted my hair to look like on my wedding day. Kristen worked with me and my long and very thick hair and came up with something beautiful and sturdy.On the day of the wedding, she came to my house super early and did the hair for me and all of my BMs. We all chose different styles and Kristen ran with it. They all looked great and we got compliments all day on our hair. My hair style lasted through wardrobe changes and the headdresses for the Korean ceremony. It held up perfectly even several hours after the reception ended!Kristen timed everything perfectly, was priced perfectly, and was very accomodating to my requests. She really enjoys what she does and is also super cute and fun so please give her a call. =)

Kristen did an amazing job on my hair for my wedding, and she also made my bridal party and the mothers and my grandmother look stunning! She was extremely flexible when it came to scheduling a trial...even opened the salon that she works from on a day that it was closed just to accommodate me! I was very pleased with the trial and surprisingly even more pleased with the "day-of" hair...it looked gorgeous and we all received so many compliments. Kristen was an absolute joy to work with. She was always responsive when I had questions, concerns, etc. She was fun to be around and is a great value for her cost (and I have to mention that her costs are more than reasonable!).Thanks Kristen for making us all look wonderful for my special day. I'm so glad I found you and recommend you to any bride in the DC area looking for the best stylist around without breaking their piggy bank!

Kristen does fantastic hair for an incredibly reasonable price. Plus, she has the patience of a saint and will work with you to find the style that suits you best. It was easy to coordinate trials with her. Kristen is a pleasure to work with, always very positive.

Kristen was great! She worked very efficiently and got through all 6 of us in roughly 3 hours at our hotel - despite a migraine! My hair was beautiful and it stayed that way all night - and was never uncomfortable. Best of all though, she works with you until it's right. My mom was a little uncomfortable with the way her hair looked at first. Kristen didn't take it personally, she just made a few adjustments and within 5 minutes it had been fixed. Very professional, very sweet, and very talented. I'd hire her again without hesitation.
