Testimonials
- "I booked MAB for my November 2022 wedding, and I'm so glad I did. Short story: if you're thinking about it, go ahead and hire them. 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. They even stayed late to let me try one extra hairstyle. 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. "

"Working with MAB was a great experience from start to finish! Their office/administrative staff was extremely organized and communicative, and I never had to worry about my appointments, timeline, contract specificities, etc. I was able to flexibly schedule a hair and makeup trial at their beautiful studio, and they made sure to spend lots of time with me talking through what I wanted and then discussing my feedback. I was indecisive about how I wanted to do my hair, and they accommodated me to schedule multiple trials, even just a few weeks before my wedding. I had 11 women getting hair and makeup done for my wedding, and the team arrived early/on-time, worked through everyone efficiently, and made us all feel so relaxed and glamorous on wedding day. They preemptively scheduled in touch-up time in our day-of schedule. I got a ton of compliments on how beautiful everyone's hair and makeup were. These artists are truly the best of the best--so talented and such great judgment about how to make everyone's natural beauty shine through. "

"I am thrilled with my experience with Makeup by Ana B for my bridal hair and makeup. They are truly experts at what they do with a lengthy background in weddings. My stylists - Rocio and Suz - were SO talented, and I felt gorgeous on my special day. The makeup and hair lasted for HOURS!! They also answered all my questions and had great tips for what would work best during my trial. Plus, they did an excellent job with my bridal party - everyone looked stunning. I highly recommend them. You'll be in great hands!"
