Newport Summer Wedding
I cannot recommend ABB more highly! I worked with Allison and her team for my hair & makeup (along with 9 bridesmaids) for my June 2023 wedding in Newport, and I could not have been happier. Emma and Leah did my hair and makeup and were FANTASTIC - not to mention such lovely, easygoing people! I went into my initial trial with a vague idea of the look I was going for, and it's like they were able to read my mind and deliver my dream bridal look with very little direction! Leading up to our wedding, Allison was the MOST organized, thorough, and communicative vendor. She made the planning process so easy and seamless. If ABB is available for your big day, book them! :)

Paige and Ana made me feel like a glowing princess
Allison Barbera Beauty was fabulous - my hair stylist was Ana and my makeup artist was Paige. They were both fantastic. I was nervous because I wanted to change some things from the hair trial but Ana knew what I wanted and made my changes PERFECTLY. Paige made me feel so beautiful, my makeup has literally never been better. Everyone felt so comfortable around them and they made the wedding day fun and enjoyable. Highly, highly recommend!

Jennifer Bruciati July 2025 Wedding
Allison’s entire team is incredible - Leah and Nicole made me feel absolutely amazing on my special day and same with my mom, mother-in-law, and NINE bridesmaids! Everyone looked gorgeous and truly can't thank your team enough. Makeup was natural but gorgeous, everyone felt their self! My mom’s hair turned out INCREDIBLE and she has very thin hair so she was super happy with her up do!
Pricing and service was impeccable and the entire team worked efficiently and quickly - we were ahead of schedule with 12 women.
And thank you, Allison, for making this entire process easy, answering all my questions, and providing support along the way!

Perfection
Allison was a dream to work with. Prompt, thorough responses, super clear communication, and I felt like I was in the best hands. My hair stylist, Leah, and make up artist, Emma, were amazing - they listened to what I wanted and gave their honest suggestions, which I appreciated because I knew we had the same goal in mind: to make me look my best on my wedding day. They really delivered; I looked and felt beautiful, and they were such a pleasure to work with as well. So happy they were part of my wedding team!

Incredible experience! Easy to work with and created a beautiful, natural look
I can't say enough good things! Allison was so easy to work with. She is incredibly responsive by email and detail oriented, which immediately put me at ease. On my wedding day, I worked with Leah and Lauren, who did hair and makeup. They helped create such a relaxed and fun atmosphere while we all got ready. Also Leah and Lauren both listened to each person and helped to create a stunning and natural look. So grateful I got to work with Allison and her incredible team.

Great experience!
It was incredibly easy to communicate with the owner, Allison, about logistics and otherwise. The whole process was seamless - which is so helpful when you're in the throws of wedding planning. My makeup artist, Emma, was so personable, kind, and talented. My bridesmaid's makeup artist, Paige, was the same. Everyone was very happy with their makeup and said they 'got exactly what they wanted'.

I had such a great experience working with AB Beauty! Allison made the whole planning process so easy and stress free- she was so helpful and attentive with details, planning, and scheduling. My make up was done by Emma, who did an incredible job! She was so lovely to work with and helped me feel beautiful and confident on my wedding day. All of my bridesmaids and my mom/MIL also loved their make up. Couldn't recommend AB Beauty enough!

Allison Barbera and her styling team are incredible. No matter the request, no matter the size of the bridal party and no matter how challenging the weather, the stylists on Allison's team are absolute professionals. Allison herself is the pinnacle of professionalism, sharing invoices, planning documents and schedules in a clear and organized manner and providing email responses in minutes (rather than days, THANK YOU!) I really can't say enough about how well Allison and her team care for my bridal clients. Thank you for your amazing styling and incredible professionalism, Allison!
