Testimonials
- "Everything from the first touch point to wedding day was flawless...Their team is incredible, so organized and one of my favorite vendors I worked with...Cannot recommend enough!"

"Makeup by Ana B saved my elopement! I had originally booked with a different studio that canceled on me 9 PM the night before with nothing but a “sorry here’s your refund.” I was frantic, and found the “last minute” number to contact for Ana B. Miraculously, someone responded and had me booked within 30 minutes. I don’t know of any other company that will respond to you at 10 pm for a last minute appointment the following morning. 10/10! They did a fantastic job on my hair and makeup. I’ll be returning to this studio for all my future hair and makeup needs."

"They tackled a wide range of hair types (from short to long, super straight to curly) and age ranges from 20 to 61 in about 5 hours. No one had had a trial, and yet everyone was thrilled with the outcome. We loved the results and every minute of the process. Thank you for making us look terrific!"

"We got married in May 2023 and I would high recommend Makeup by Ana B. I found them in summer of 2022 and they were available for my date needed. It was difficult looking for other hair/makeup vendors and trying to piece together the cost and if they were available, that is why I recommend makeup by Ana B! It is one stop shop for all of your hair and makeup needs. They will provide you with the best hair and makeup artists and it was a great experience start to finish!"
