Testimonials

  • "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!"

  • "I am so happy I chose the MAB team for my wedding day! Having had little experience with getting my makeup professionally done, I was very nervous about not looking like myself, but they made me and bridal party look absolutely gorgeous! I am so thankful that they worked with us to make sure everything went so smoothly, despite some last minute scheduling issues. The week of the wedding, we realized we needed to add another makeup artist so we could stay on schedule and they worked with us to add a second artist and made sure I could stay as stress free as possible on my wedding day. They accommodated the various looks that my bridesmaids/mom/mother-in-law wanted with ease. Highly recommend!!"

  • "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. "
