Marina

Quick Facts: Marina has been living in Virginia for nearly 5 years with her 6-year-old son and husband. She loves to travel, drawing inspiration from new places, people, and their styles. She adores watching the red carpet and examining the hairstyles of celebrities. She also enjoys a cozy family evening at home, watching a family movie.

Beauty Background: Marina’s first hairstyles were created on dolls, then on her younger sister, and at 9 years old, she asked her mother to curl her hair with thermal rollers. In middle school, she braided her classmates’ hair, and in high school, she prepared girls for their first dates. At 16, she asked her mother to take her out of school and enroll her in beauty college, where she studied for two years, and started working at 18. Over 17 years, she can’t count all the brides she’s styled, but she knows she loves being part of their wedding day, creating beauty. The year 2024 was remarkable: she went to study for her license and joined the women’s team at MAB, who beautify every bride and their friends.

Favorite Hair Product: Texturizing spray and MoroccanOil hairspray.

Favorite Beauty Hack: Spraying MAC fix+ on a brush to apply shimmer to the lid.

From The Artist: "There’s nothing more valuable than a happy bride; that’s when I’m happy with my work."

  • "MAB Studio made my hair and make-up vision come to life! When I had my trial sessions, both artists made recommendations that I would not have considered myself that truly brought my vision to life. This means a lot especially as someone who is not always comfortable in full make-up. I am so grateful to have worked with such experts in their craft! "

  • "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!"
