  I had such a positive experience with Gaby and her girls – especially with Rebecca, who did my hair and makeup for the trial and the big day! I love that the girls arrived ahead of schedule and patiently waited in the lobby of the hotel until we were ready. I’m a little obsessive about punctuality, so I love that these girls not only arrived early, but they were super structured when it came to setting up separate stations for hair and makeup and making sure that everything went smoothly. They got through 13 of us and ended right on time when the photographer arrived!
  My hair and makeup stayed on perfectly all day and night. They truly made me look flawless, and the pictures from the wedding were just further reassurance! My bridesmaids, my mom, and mother-in-law looked gorgeous and could not have been happier with their hair and the airbrush makeup application. I highly recommend Gaby and team!
  Thanks so much!

  From planning process, to day-of, Gaby and her team were flexible and accommodating with last minute changes or requests, quick and easy to communicate with, and so great at what they do! They did an amazing job as our glam squad the day of my wedding and everyone felt absolutely beautiful. Would recommend in a heartbeat!

  I used Fairytales and Brides for my wedding day makeup, and I couldn't have been happier with the results. Gaby was responsive and organized about getting my appointment set up, and my makeup artist Rebecca, did an AMAZING job. She asked a lot of questions beforehand and listened to my vision, and really understood the look I was going for. I had no complaints and the price was comparable if not more affordable than others I'd researched. I highly recommend them!

  Fairytales and Brides hair stylists did a beautiful job in helping 5 of us non-brides prepare for my son's wedding. They came to our hotel room promptly, and had all of us looking beautiful by the designated deadline so that we could be ready for the wedding. They were patient when we tried various styles or changed our minds. Well done!
  One suggestion for hotel guests: ask for a regular chair or two to be delivered to your room in advance because the big stuffed high-back chairs were not the best for accessing hair.

  Rebecca came to do my hair and makeup the morning of my elopement. I was nervous since I wasn't able to have a trial (I live in NY) but everything turned out wonderful!

  Gaby and her crew were amazing to work with. They came to our hotel for a trial, and they were even early. My hair was perfect, and my false eyelashes were, as well. The girls were very willing to listen to what we wanted and fix anything we weren't happy with. They were professional and early the day of the wedding, as well. Three girls showed up to do 9 ladies' hair. And they had us ready about an hour before we needed to be. Their price was very reasonable for traveling to our hotel to accommodate us in the French Quarter.

  Fairytales and Brides were absolutely fantastic! They showed up extra early to our venue and made sure myself and all of my bridesmaids and family members were thrilled with our hair and makeup. What a pleasure to work with these sweet, fun and professional women!

  My sister found Fairytales and Brides for me for my big day. They were able to accommodate everything for my girls and me at a great price. Gaby and her team are great and I'm really glad my sister found them. I highly suggest them!

  These ladies did a fantastic job on my ladies and I. I dropped a star because I was told that the same lady who did my trial would also be doing my hair and makeup on wedding day. This was not the case and I ended up having to ask the wonderful hairstylist to redo my hair. She originally did a fishtail braid (Which was beautiful) but it wasn't was I wanted. I wanted crazy curls off to the side. The second time around was perfect. :) My ladies all really liked their looks as well. So many kudos to the two ladies who did help me and my girls.

  Fairytales and Brides did a great job. My stylist Rebecca was excellent, and she was so patient with me during my trial when I couldn't fully articulate the hairstyle I wanted. I loved the final look! My girls and our mothers looked fantastic as well. Gaby the owner was a pleasure to work with during the planning process, and she was very kind and sweet on the day of the event. The pricing is also very reasonable. Highly recommend!

  I wanted to strongly forewarn brides against choosing Fairytales and Brides due to the experience I had with Gaby as a destination bride. I was not led astray with reviews of my other vendors I chose except this one, which was one of the most important unfortunately. As you can imagine, how you look on your wedding day is vital to how you feel about the day since those pictures are ones you will look back on forever. Gaby, unfortunately, made absolutely no effort to provide what I requested for my hair. She was so remiss that she did not even share the pictures I sent to her with the one stylist she brought to do my wedding party of 6. Her stylist indicated how sorry she was that she was not skilled in the style I wanted and indicated if Gaby had provided her with the pictures, she would have practiced to make sure I would have gotten what I asked for. Instead, her boss left her before even starting on my hair because she booked another appt. a couple of hours into the 4 hour time frame she said she would be working with my party. As you can imagine, I was really disappointed when I ended up with spiral curls when I had requested and sent pictures of the old Hollywood glamour look. I felt awful for the stylist Gaby left high and dry when she tried contacting Gaby for assistance without my prompting and her boss would not come to address the situation. I texted Gaby to let her know how disappointing it is that she did not even share the pictures and she said sorry but it was a difficult style. In a follow-up email, she was inconsistent saying the pictures were shared, that she supervised every service, that my hair was not suitable for what I wanted and that I was insulting and abusive to the stylist, none of which was true. Not being able to provide the service is one thing but being dishonest and bashing your client is quite another. Do yourself a favor and stay away!
