Testimonials

  • "Ana (makeup) and Ester (hair) did an incredible job. They did a trial for both me and my mom to make sure we were on the same page about what we wanted...The day of the wedding, they showed up prepared and on time and did hair and makeup for a big party (10-ish people) and everyone looked absolutely stunning! My hair and makeup stayed in place all night, which is very impressive because I was dancing pretty much nonstop once the reception started."

  • "I hired Ana M. for makeup and could not be more thrilled with how everything turned out. My makeup held up for the entire night and was exactly how I envisioned!"

  • "My artists for my wedding day were Mindy (hair) and Bianca (makeup), and I couldn't be happier with them! They both were lovely, kind, professional and made me feel so beautiful on my special day. They worked with me and my bridesmaids, listened to our feedback, and happily made adjustments until everyone was thrilled with their final look. I loved my trial too, which was great to get to meet the ladies beforehand. The staff at MAB is very friendly, responsive and easy to work with. A great price and a favorite business among me and many fellow Virginia brides. Cannot recommend them enough!!!"

  • "I'm so glad I chose Makeup by Ana B for our wedding. They were responsive, professional, and talented. Cori (hair) and Tanya (makeup) made me feel like my best self and the wedding day hair/makeup was identical to what I loved at the trial. All of the bridesmaids, etc. felt beautiful and the artists really listened to what each individual wanted. I would recommend them to anyone!"

  • "Hala and Lexi were phenomenal - very professional, diligent and took the necessary precautions for my small COVID wedding in 2020. They did a great job and I felt beautiful. I was so grateful that they were still willing to come given the circumstances and it only made me that much more excited to work with them again in 2021 for our larger wedding. Scheduling was also very easy and they were always very responsive. I didn’t have all my girls for the small 2020 wedding and they had no problem waiving the minimum payment to accommodate the circumstances. Highly recommended!"
