I used AV Beauty Bar for my engagement photos and wedding, and I cannot recommend them highly enough! Arica was my stylist, and not only was she so fun and friendly--bringing such good energy!--but she works miracles with hair and makeup! I've had my hair and makeup done for so many weddings, but I've never looked as good as she made me look. I was particularly impressed with how she did my hair--no one has ever been able to tame my frizzy locks the way she did. I was so happy with it, and I got SO many compliments! Perhaps even more miraculously, it was not rock-hard with hairspray but still stayed put all night. She clearly puts a lot of care and thought into the products she uses. She was so generous and helpful as well, letting me take extra time in their (very nice) studio to change before my engagement session and making sure to give me extra makeup for touchups, some makeup remover to use when I realized I didn't have any on hand, and even giving me pearls for my hair when the ones I bought didn't work for me.
My one bridesmaid loved her work too. She's incredible!!
The scheduling process was also so smooth thanks to Vikki, who was very nice and responsive.
I can't recommend them highly enough!

Working with AV Beauty for the hair and makeup was great. From the contract to the day of it was easy, fun and they made us all beautiful while still looking like ourselves.

With major life changes going on during my wedding planning, I was a terrible client, I know it lol. Despite me constantly changing dates, budget, services, and taking forever to respond, Ari was amazing and so patient and willing to work with me. She is so fun and laid back which made it easier to relax before the ceremony. And the hair and make-up the ladies did for us was just so pretty and made me feel 100% confident in front of so many cameras!

Ari and her team were awesome through the whole process. Ari created a custom package for me for my wedding day hair and makeup. When my hair trial didn't hold up because of how long and heavy my hair is, she helped me with advice on what could be done and a better cut and styling to help hold curl longer in my all down 'do. She did a wonderful job with my wedding hair and make up. Now I can't see getting my hair cut or done anywhere else!

Ari and Tiffany from AV Beauty Bar were the best “vendor” I worked with during my wedding. These two did hair and makeup for myself and my wedding party on NYE and it was the best I’ve seen (and I’ve been in 9 weddings). They were so much fun and incredibly professional. Tiffany and Ari even stayed after my wedding ceremony to see if I needed “touch ups” before the reception. I can’t say enough about them other than that they will go above and beyond and you’ll enjoy your time with them!

You won’t go wrong selecting AV Beauty Bar for your wedding. She came highly recommended from my sister in law and I knew she would be at the top of my list. From the moment, I spoke to her she was responsive, friendly, and detail oriented. I wear mineral makeup daily, and keep things pretty natural. She took this into account during my makeup trial. The airbrushed makeup is a must! It felt much lighted than I expected, the coverage was great, and it lasted the test of time. She made me feel comfortable wearing more makeup that I normally would. I felt so beautiful after Ari had finished her work.

She also did a hair trial a couple of weeks before the wedding. I showed her my pinterest pictures and she helped me refine what would look best with my face shape and hair color. She took my initial idea and made it even better. She ended up suggesting a great idea to put some of the extra lace pieces from my dress in my hair. That looked amazing.

The day of the wedding the whole team was great to work with. They were on time, professional, and so friendly. They put everyone at ease from myself, to the bridesmaids, to the mothers. They took into account any last-minute suggestions the girls had and they didn’t leave until everyone was comfortable with how they looked. You won’t regret scheduling a trial with Ari and the AV Beauty Bar team!

Ari was amazing to work with! She was organized, engaging, and very skilled with both hair and makeup. We did a consultation a couple weeks before the wedding which was great for getting to know each other and to try different looks. Ari does both eyelashes and airbrush make up, but both felt light and natural (unlike a few other beauty companies I tried at Bridal Shows.) I highly recommend Ari and AV Beauty Bar!

I had the pleasure of working with Ariane for my wedding in 2013 and she completely exceeded my expectations. Over a series of months she carefully listened to all my ideas, and on my wedding day, Ariane's talent was evident. Not only did she nail my look, but she was a complete joy to work with. Thank you so much for making my day perfect!

Ari was an absolute angel on my wedding day. She made me feel comfortable and relaxed while doing my makeup. She listened to exactly what I wanted. My wedding was on the beach, in Florida on the beach and my makeup didn't melt at all. She did touchups throughout the night and I was incredibly impressed with her work. I was extremely happy when I got my photos back as I had never felt more beautiful in my life. She also did my moms makeup, and she
absolutely loved it. I would highly recommend her to anyone, she is a highly talented individual and would be a blessing to anyone's wedding day.

I would highly recommend Ari to anyone looking for a professional, talented, and caring hair and makeup stylist. Ari did my makeup for my wedding and listened to my ideas in order to create a look that was true to me and made sense for my wedding. I never felt as though I didn't look like myself, which was my biggest worry. I felt beautiful and was so happy with my photos and I truly thank her for that!
Ari and I did a trial run before my rehearsal dinner, leaving me feeling confident for both big events. She also did my Mother and Mother-in-law's hair and makeup and they were absolutely stunning and felt young and beautiful. They still ask about Ari because she was so kind and easy to talk to! She is very good at what she does and a true joy to spend time with!
