Natalya is truly one of a kind and I'm so thankful that I got the pleasure of working with her. She has a calming quality about her that made me relax and enjoy her work, rather than stressing on the day of my wedding. We had a very tight timeline (bridal hair and makeup, plus hair and makeup for my mom, mom in law, and sis starting at 6 am and finishing by 9:30 am). She and her assistant Irene finished right on time as promised and we had such an enjoyable time too.

Now to the hair: during my trial, I had asked for a braided updo (which was what i thought i wanted) and although she effortlessly made it look as I wanted it, it wasn't me. We talked and she showed me examples of her previous work of brides with long flowing hair and I never thought I could have that look bc I have thin long hair. She reassured me, explaining the brides had extensions and she can do the same for me! On that note, the day of the wedding I brought my extensions and a picture and she once again, delivered. My hair looked natural and thick and I wished I could have her do my hair every day.

The makeup, hands down, was spectacular! She knows her stuff! I didn't have to touch up my makeup (I was in the hot sun for over 2 hours, then partied for 12 hours and only needed to reapply lip gloss twice). Unbelievable! I looked like myself, but stunning! She is truly an artist.

In summary, if you want a hair and makeup artist that you can fully trust and not even have to look in the mirror to know it is perfect, go with Natalya! I will never look for a hair and makeup artist again bc I found the best one! I always wanted to look like the models in the magazine and she made me look like one and feel like one!

Natalya’s personality and her quality of work are a matching pair: absolutely beautiful! To me, her work stands out above the rest because most people in this business either do hair OR makeup well; Natalya excels at BOTH. I hired Natalya’s services for my wedding to create six bridesmaid up-dos as well as my (the bride) hair and makeup. I did a trial with her six months before my wedding in the comfort of her home and had a pleasant experience as we figured out what kind of hair and makeup style I wanted. All was going well leading up to the wedding until about a month before, I started losing a lot of my hair in both patches and throughout my scalp. I was very concerned and contacted Natalya a couple of days before my wedding to let her know what she was in for. She was extremely caring and empathetic, so much that she, in her own effort, brought an assistant to help her prep all of the hairdos on the day of the wedding to give us more time to work on my hair (as well as the rest of the bridal party) at NO extra cost to me. She added some extensions into my hairdo and worked her magic so that it looked like I had a head full of MY beautiful hair (you couldn’t even see the extensions she added). She continued to go above and beyond up until the very last minute when I was ready for her to go—she happily applied false eyelashes for my bridesmaids on the spot (for the small fee she charges which is to be expected), happily touched up any lady’s hair that I asked her to, and even showed my mom how to put in/take out my veil. I will be seeking an opportunity to hire Natalya again, because her exceptional hair and makeup skills, her warm heart, and (did I mention) her very reasonable prices are a true diamond in the DMV area.

Hire her now! posted 10/15/2015

Natalya's work was beyond perfect. She was such a breeze to work with, very responsive and very professional. The day of because of the timing of my wedding and how many people needed to get their hair done (6 bridesmaids hair, 2 makeup, my hair and makeup, two mother of the brides and then an add on grandmother) she brought two assistants who were equally as lovely to deal with and professional. My family and bridesmaids loved all three of them.

She listened to each of my bridesmaids about what they wanted and all of them came out looking so beautiful! There was a list minute hitch where my poor grandmothers hair had come undone the night before and without hesitation Natalya added her on. My grandmother was so happy and looked so beautiful.

All of our hair stayed in perfectly. Not one curl fell or strand came undone. The best was I didn't even feel like my hair had a million bobby pins in it. It was so comfortable and easy. Her prices are also extremely affordable. I was so pleased with her work I want to find more excuses for her to come and do my hair. Thank you for making my day so calm and making us all feel so beautiful!

I was so thrilled to have Natalya as my hair stylist and makeup artist. Working with her was a pleasure, as she really took the time to understand my vision and give her professional feedback, in addition to being kind and helpful. I have extremely curly hair, and was worried about finding someone who would be able to work with it in its natural state. Natalya gave me an absolutely gorgeous look, and paired it with makeup that was flattering, long-lasting, and made me feel like royalty. I have never gotten so many compliments, and that's as it should be on your wedding day! She also did an amazing job on my mother and sister's hair and makeup- each look was different, and both were radiant! I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for fantastic wedding day hair and makeup!

A true artist posted 10/28/2015

I hired Natalya to do my hair and makeup as well as my mothers and mother in laws hair and make up. She also did my matron and maid of honors hair. She did a phenomenal job on everyone! She has this amazing talent to see you for who you are and design a style that fits exactly you. When I met her at my trial, I knew she was perfect. She's very calm, professional and a true artist. I told her the overall look I wanted and she designed a stunning up do. Then on the morning of my wedding, I showed her a clip I wanted to use and she designed a whole new undo to showcase the clip. It was absolutely stunning! Not only that but she did my makeup so flawlessly. I have been having frustrating breakouts and my face looked smooth and flawless after she did my makeup. I have never felt so beautiful and confident as I did on my wedding day. Also a side note, I had a tight budget for hair and makeup and Natalya is the most reasonably priced hair/makeup artist I found and her talent is truly unbelievable. You won't regret using her!

Natalya Chepura is Unbelievable posted 10/1/2015

Natalya Chepura is undoubtedly the most skilled, kind, talented, and amazing makeup artist and hair stylist I've ever come across in my entire life. After having a storybook wedding with 200+ guests, I am still being asked for Natalya's information in hopes that they can hire her for their events.

Not only was she extremely competent, talented, and amazing - she also was an absolute pleasure to work with AND was extremely affordable.

I could not recommend her enough for all the brides out there. Natalya was THE most valuable makeup and hair artist I've ever come across, and she was worth every penny.

Look No Further! posted 4/9/2015

Natalya was more than I could hope for and beyond on my wedding day last month. She was always prompt with keeping in touch with me prior to the big day and a big help with preparing me for what was to come. Speaking with her for the first time put me at ease that I had put me and my wedding party in good hands and she did not disappoint. She was extremely professional from being exactly on time to setting a schedule for us all which worked out perfectly. One by one she and her assistant took each of my friends and family and step by step started transforming them to where it looked like they stepped foot out of a movie. The detail and the individual touches she put on everyone accentuated their natural beauty but also highlighted their unique features. No two styles or looks were the same or repetitive which allowed everyone to be themselves in an outstanding way. And then it came down to my turn!!! The look on my now husband's face when i turned the corner, is one that I am sure I will never forget, and I can assure you that is mostly due to the amazing job Natalya did with my appearance. It was almost effortless with her techniques to take me and time-warp me to the old Hollywood days of glitz and glamor, all while never making me unrecognizable. She allowed me to express my ideas and vocalize any concerns and took everything in stride all while giving advice that I listened to, all making the outcome amazing. I would recommend her to anyone who has a day coming up that is special to them where they want to look and feel their best. From her sweet personality to her impeccable attention to detail, there is no way you can go wrong with Natalya!!!! She's just great:))))

Natalya is amazing posted 2014-10-28

What first attracted me to Natalya was her prices. I think they are very affordable for all the beautiful work she does. I shopped around for a bit and I was appalled at how much others were charging for their hair and makeup. When I contacted her we spoke on the phone and she was very sweet. I immediately wanted to book her because I could just tell from speaking to her that she was the perfect person for the job. (sometimes you have to follow your gut!) I saw all her hair samples on her website and that convinced me as well. We did the trial about 7 months prior to the wedding at my insistence since I no longer live in the area I was married in I was anxious to get it done asap and Natalya was very accommodating. I loved how she can take one look at a picture and recreate it and make it look so effortless. We set up a contract for my hair and makeup along with my three bridesmaid's hair and makeup. I checked in with her a few times before the wedding. Everything was going smoothly. I asked if she could have an assistant just to be sure we got done in time for the photographer who was coming at 12pm. we were scheduled to start that day at 7 am. Unfortunately the day before the wedding Natalya's assistant had to cancel. This was completely out of her control and not her fault. I got upset, but Natalya couldn't have been more apologetic and calm. She assured me that everything would be fine. We would have to start an hour earlier just to be sure she finished us all in time. Natalya was there a little before 6 am. She started immediately. She only needed to see one picture of each hairstyle and like magic she recreated the most gorgeous hairstyles on my bridesmaids and myself. She literally worked from 6 am to 12 pm. no breaks, just a bottle of water next to her. Totally in the zone! She didn't even seem tired. She was very methodical and she did not rush. Once it was my turn in the chair she looked at me and said "Trust me, everything is going to be fine. You are going to look beautiful and we will finish in time." Then she gave me the most heartfelt hug. I was so touched I started to tear up. She put my mind at ease and we finished right on time! Natalya is the sweetest and most genuine woman I have ever met. You can tell she takes pride in her work and she loves what she does. I am so glad I chose her. She delivered 100% and all night long people were giving my bridesmaids and I tons of compliments about how great we looked. And one of the best parts was our hair stayed put all night. ( we danced alot so this was a plus) Do yourself a favor and book her! She will not disappoint. Julie...

She rocked it! posted 2014-10-24

Natalya is awesome. Living in the DC area, every salon is very expensive and you always have to pay more if you want them to travel to you. I think for the area, her price is reasonable. She does an amazing job, my hair and make up was beautiful. I have never felt so pretty. The hair and make up stayed the whole night. I also showed her what hair style I wanted the day of, and she made my hair look even better than I expected....

Natalya did an amazing job on my makeup and hair. She made me look and feel beautiful!! Natalya is extremely professional, pleasant to work with, and punctual as she arrived early to the house the day of and was all set up and ready to go. She also uses very high quality long lasting products. She choose make up that worked well for my skin color and therefore I looked flawless the entire day (from 2pm to 12AM)! She is an expert at her craft, and can create a look that matches your wedding style. I wanted a very natural look but one that would make my blue eyes pop. Natalya did a great job hitting that objective! A big bonus about her is that she also has a calm & sweet way about her that helped to ease my nerves on the big day. I also appreciated how available she was via email or phone which made communicating very easy. I highly suggest booking a trial. Trials also ensure that the wedding day goes smoothly. I highly recommend Natalya to anyone, she was worth every penny! Natalya, thank you very much for your professionalism and for making me look and feel so beautiful!!!
