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! :)

Could not recommend more!

Going with the Allison Barbera team for my wedding truly could not have been a better choice! Allison was always super responsive, communicative, and helpful throughout the entire process. I worked with Paige, Lauren, Emma, and Leah for the wedding day, and they were all so friendly and did incredible work! I absolutely loved my hair and makeup, and my bridal party looked so stunning. Highly highly recommend!

An Amazing Way to Start the Wedding Day!

My husband and I had the BEST experience with ABB! Hair and makeup were initially at the bottom of my wedding todo list and as the date got closer I realized how important it was that I felt comfortable and set the right tone for the day. Allison was such an experienced professional and worked with me closely to customize an experience that felt right for me! I specifically asked if the people on her team were comfortable and familiar with working with dyed hair (mine is purple) as well as Asian facial features and skin (me and most of my bridal party). Lauren did my hair and Nicole did my make-up - they were able to join at a home rental where my parents and siblings were staying and my whole bridal party (which included men and women) were able to hangout while I got ready. We had such a fun morning that was lively and energizing for the big day. I'm not a big fan of full glam and Nicole was able to do make-up that really felt like an enhanced version of me (light on coverage, dark smoky eye). At the end of the session, my now-husband even stopped by to get a quick hair touch-up from Lauren (he's got shoulder length wavy hair) and was able to get a quick concealer touch-up from Nicole when he woke up with a big red blemish on his face! We had the best day and the make-up lasted well into the late evening after a full day and lots of dancing.

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!
