  • "I have nothing, but wonderful things to say about Hala! She was right on time if not a few minutes early. The makeup look is exactly what I was looking for and she even had me wearing a red lip which NEVER happens. I'm not sure what kind of magic she did, but she was all around wonderful and I was thrilled with my experience. She was just fabulous! I wish I wasn't moving to the West Coast, I'd love to use her again!"

  • "I was very picky about my wedding hair and makeup. I am 38 so my skin is more mature and I wanted the perfect balance between soft glam and natural. I wanted to look like myself. I had had a terrible professional makeup experience in the past so I trialed 3 different HMU vendors for my wedding. MAB stood out by far! Mindy did my hair and Hala did my makeup. I cannot say enough good things about them. They are warm and relatable, extremely talented, timely, and listen to your vision. They do customized hair/makeup - so many artists just recreate the same look over and over. My entire bridal party looked absolutely beautiful. I even struggle with dry skin and foundation looks terrible - Hala gave me suggestions to change my routine leading up to the wedding and used a tinted moisturizer instead of a foundation. It was perfect. My husband even said it looked amazing and he usually prefers me without much makeup on. I am so very happy about how great this experience was!"

  • "Hala was our makeup artist and she did an amazing job. We had several different styles represented between the bride, MOB, and bridesmaids, but it was all beautiful and cohesive. She was especially patient and reassuring and had the professional know how of what is best for bridal makeup, which was helpful for me as I was the most nervous about how my makeup would look."
