Abigail did my updo for my wedding and her assistants did my bridesmaid’s updos. I loved everything about working with her, from the first time we met when she did my trial, to working with her day of, I had a wonderful experience! She was able to give me exactly what I wanted when I wasn’t even really sure of it myself. My bridesmaids were all able to come day of with an idea of what updo they wanted and Abigail’s assistants were able to execute their ideas perfectly. I received so many compliments on my hair! It lasted all night and was so comfortable. Overall, I loved working with Abigail and would do so again in a heartbeat!

Although her fees were quite high, Abigail was fantastic. She was a real professional, easy to work with and willing to accommodate my daughter's requests. She did an extraordinary job on her hair and make-up and I would highly recommend her.

Abigail did my hair and make-up for my engagement party. I was so incredibly pleased with her services. She is very professional and detail-oriented. She listens well, and made my vision for my look a reality. Highly recommend her!

Abigail was wonderful to work with. She met with me twice to do trials, and she also met with my mother-in-law to do a trial as well. On my wedding day she showed up on time, with two assistants to do hair and makeup for me, my mother, and my mother-in-law, and hair for five bridesmaids. Abigail is very organized and works efficiently. She and her assistants were very professional, and very nice. She was a calming presence during what can be a stressful morning. On top of all that she, and her assistants did a wonderful job with both hair and makeup. She knew exactly what I wanted with my updo, even though I wasn't very specific. I have fine, thin hair, so making a full updo isn't the easiest thing. She brought "filler" hair to make my bun look amazingly full and beautiful. She also did a wonderful job on the bridesmaids, mother and mother-in-law. The makeup was also beautiful and exactly what I wanted. I would recommend her to anyone. She is very talented, gracious, and wonderful to work with.

Abigail was so great to work with. She was easily available for all of the million questions I had prior to the wedding. Come wedding day she did an amazing job. i don't usually wear a lot of makeup so I was worried about having too much on on my wedding day and she nailed it. Most of my guests had such wonderful and positive things to say about how beautiful my makeup looked. If ever I need makeup done in the furture, Abigail is my first call!

Abigail's services were a wedding gift to me and she was simply fantastic! I sent her a few pictures of hair updos that I liked before my trial and she exceeded my expectations. She listened to my comments about the make-up and it looked great. I even got compliments from the photographer about how great the make-up looked. I can't say enough good things about Abigail and her work. JUST WONDERFUL!

Abigail is extremely talented and really knows how to do beautiful wedding hair and makeup. She's also a wonderful, calm person to be around. We all enjoyed having her around on the wedding day!
She also finished up with more than enough time- she's a very efficient worker.
Makeup:
-She managed to balance putting on enough makeup to photograph well without applying too much.
-She is an efficient worker, and also a perfectionist- so you know you're looking your best when she is done with you!
-I did a trial with her, and she was great about referencing notes and photos so she could immediately go to work with the right stuff on the wedding day.
-She brought an assistant with her to help with makeup (we had 6 people and needed to be done by noon), and she did an excellent job as well.
Hair:
-We all had our hair down, and everyone's hair looked great all night!
-My sister's hair usually falls out of curls almost immediately, but she didn't have any issues all day and night.
-My mother also did a hair trial when I did mines, and Abigail was so patient working with her and figuring out what to do with her hair. She spent a lot of time with us, and never made us feel like we were taking up too much of her time.

I would highly recommend her! She is on the more expensive side, but there is definitely something to be said for working with a true professional!
