The hair +
makeup artist
I'm Olivia Lo and I'm a bridal hair and makeup artist in Baltimore serving the East Coast from Washington DC to Boston. I provide boutique beauty services for brides who want to feel calm, confident, and true to themselves on their wedding day.
Named one of DC's Best Vendors by Washingtonian Magazine, my approach is grounded in purpose, the details, and comfort, and I believe in doing things the right way, not the rushed way. I'm collaborative, and clients often tell me I have an intuitive sense for hair and makeup.
I can't wait to help you cherish a slower-paced morning getting pampered with your closest friends and family.
"Olivia has mastered the art of emphasizing natural beauty
while honoring the integrity of your features and staying true to them
...she became someone I trusted completely."

Olivia's calm, cool, and collected demeanor really allowed me to relax that morning, be at ease, and have fun!"

Hair and makeup should feel authentic, effortless, and entirely you
What makes me different:
Highly Personalized
I'm naturally inquisitive and curious, so starting with our discovery call, I'll be eager to hear everything about your beauty vision and what makes you, you.​
Smooth Process
As an Enneagram 1, Wing 9 and ENFJ personality type, I'm a visionary and I care about doing things the right way, not the rushed way.​​​
Simplicity
We're busy people so doing things simply is always better. Booking with me is your 2-in-1 hair and makeup artist. One contract and one minimum.
"Calm, professional, incredibly talented, and somehow also functioning as a 4-in-1 hair stylist, makeup artist, secondary photographer, and the ultimate hype girl on the day of."
- Vienna, Swann House, Washington DC
"My mom described it best: Olivia brings a calm confidence that makes you feel at ease, even when the room is buzzing with nerves and excitement. She handled a party with grace and efficiency, stayed for touch-ups, and made everyone feel so taken care of." ​

- Jillian, Salamander Resort in Middleburg, Virginia
"Olivia exudes an energetic yet quiet confidence that is contagious.
Hiring Olivia Lo was one of the best decisions we made."
A style for the modern bride:
Natural yet glamorous.
You'll always look and feel like your best authentic self. I value your thoughts, so that we can get it right, personalize your look, and get the best elevated version of you.
​
Timeless.
You'll achieve a timeless and radiant look. I stick with neutral tones, meaning browns, golds, and rosy tones. I love a true lip-color lipstick and I'm definitely a gloss girl. ​
​
Intentional.
Hair and makeup is more than just that. Your wedding morning is an experience that you cherish with your closest friends and family. I'm intentional about creating a calm wedding morning because I know this contributes to a perfect wedding day.
"Olivia inherently understood all of my concerns and worries.
She executed a look which I felt so confident and beautiful in. My makeup was flawless and lasted all day, even through (many, many, many) tears of joy and plenty of dancing! Not a single streak in sight—Olivia truly has a gift for creating long-lasting looks that feel as good as they look. She expertly styled my hair to stay in place while still looking effortless. My hair does not hold curl that well and I was shocked that it stayed intact all night."​
