Mirna
Quick Facts: Mirna was raised in Sterling, Virginia, alongside her older sister and two older brothers, in a home rich with culture and connection. With roots in El Salvador through her mother and Guatemala through her father, she grew up surrounded by vibrant traditions—and plenty of incredible Central American cooking. Now married and enjoying life with her wonderful husband, Mirna brings that same warmth and appreciation for life’s little joys into everything she does. In her free time, she loves getting lost in a good book, staying active, and discovering new coffee shops—always on the hunt for her next favorite spot.
Beauty Background: With over four years in the hair industry, Mirna discovered her passion for hairstyling while working at a blow dry bar, where she quickly fell in love with the art of creating polished, confidence-boosting looks. Eager to grow her skills, she pursued advanced training under seasoned professionals with over 20 years of experience, refining her technique and expanding her artistry. She is excited to bring her talent, dedication, and love for beauty to MAB Artistry, and looks forward to continuing to learn, grow, and elevate her craft alongside such a talented team.

"I cannot recommend MAB Artistry enough! From the very first email, their communication was top-notch — swift, detailed, and so reassuring. They had their own organized timeline for updates, which kept me stress-free and confident throughout the process. When I visited their gorgeous studio for my trial, Tanya (makeup), Stefani (hair), and Lucy (MUA) were incredibly communicative, making sure I got a look that suited my personal style and needs. They listened to my vision, gave helpful suggestions, and adapted everything perfectly. On my wedding day, they arrived on time, brought such a calm and friendly energy, and made everyone — from bridesmaids to flower girls — feel comfortable and beautiful. I was so impressed by their ability to adapt to different ages, skin tones, hair types, and personal preferences. They nailed every single look while making sure it truly suited the person wearing it. I felt so beautiful and confident walking down the aisle, and my bridal party could not stop raving about how good they felt. Tanya, Stefani, and Lucy are true professionals and artists. If you want a team who is organized, communicative, talented, and makes you feel like your best self, MAB Artistry is the one."

"I booked this vendor at the advice of a friend who manages weddings and has seen their work a lot. I was assigned Alina and Marina for my wedding and they were incredible. The trial was easy and straightforward and I walked out with exactly what I wanted. On the wedding day they nailed both my hair and makeup and everything held up perfectly. They also did hair and makeup for my two bridesmaids, my mom, and my stepmom. Everyone looked great and felt comfortable, and they handled their very specific preferences without any issues. The whole team was professional, organized, and the studio itself is really pretty and welcoming. Highly recommend this vendor."
