Testimonials

  • "MAB was fabulous! I was lucky enough to work with Cynthia, Uzma, and Arlinde. Cynthia and Uzma also did my trial. I cannot tell you how fantastic this group of women were. Not only did we look absolutely gorgeous, but we were done well before my goal time and able to relax and hang out before the wedding! I had a total of 9 people getting hair and make up complete between 9AM and 1PM (an hour and a half before I requested we be finished!). Truly a magical day! Trust this team with your life! "

  • "Makeup by Ana B (or MAB) was completely worth the money. Cynthia and Gabby were absolutely great at bringing together the look I wanted for the wedding, and did a fabulous job on my bridesmaids' and husband's groomsmaiden's makeup and hair. I was particularly in love with my hair, but the makeup job made me feel like a princess. If you are looking to get makeup done, go here."

  • "MAB artists Cynthia and Coco did a great job with makeup and hair for my March wedding! There were some miscommunications on the booking/administrative side of things leading up to the wedding, but the team was able to get those resolved for me, and the day-of services for the wedding went flawlessly! Cynthia did some great soft glam looks for me, my mom, and bridesmaids. And Coco was able to do a range of hairstyles for me and my gals, including my dream boho half-up look with flowers!"
