Words can't express how great Mara was. She exceeded my expectations in every way. On the day of my wedding she showed up early, smiling with excitement and provided me with the best hair and makeup I could have asked for. Everybody complimented me. She is a true professional. THANKS Xiomara Serrano!!!!!!!!!

I've been a client of Angelo's for many years now and he is truly amazing. I have never been disappointed if anything I'm always amazed at how great my hair feels and looks after I visit. Anytime I have an opportunity to refer him to friends I take it. I hadn't worked with XioMara until last year and she is awesome. I mean I'm very indecisive and she was very patient with me and also very flexible. She really listens to what you want for your wedding day and she delivers! My hair stayed in tack throughout my entire wedding and felt so light and comfortable. I will be referring this duo to friends for many years to come! They were a very special part of my big day!

Xiomara and Angelo are fantastic. For my wedding they asked the right questions to gather the information on what I was looking for and wanted for hair and makeup. They made the time for both the trial and the day of. Not once did I feel rushed or that they would rather be doing something else. They helped make my wedding day beautiful and memorable.

CityGirl ~ Studio pH4.5 Traveled to the venue in NY. Did our hair and makeup with no stress ... Mara has a great eye to know what looks good on YOU and a great ear to listen to you and genuinely know what you want. We LOVE Mara !!!

Mara was great to work with. My bridesmaids and I were all very happy with our hair and makeup. Mara went out of her way to accommodate my group's changing schedule and last minute requests! it was one less thing that I had to worry about on my wedding day.

I've been a client of Angelo's for 15 years! He's fantastic. I would travel to the ends of the Earth just to have him cut and color my hair. I could go on and on about how Angelo has helped me into and out of a red phase, got me back to my blonde "roots" or kept me from knowing if any greys have shown up, but this review is specific to the work that he and Mara (aka City Girl) did for me leading up to my wedding.

I asked Angelo if he and Mara could do several hair and make-up trials with me. I had two hair trials (one up-do and one down) and one make-up trial with them. Mara was wonderful to work with - we walked through several hair style ideas and discussed what would work best for photos. During our make-up session she tried a couple of different looks but we settled on one that was just perfect for my vintage styled dress. I decided to go with the airbrush - turned out great in all the photographs.

She ordered some of the make-up in advance of the wedding so I could play with it and see how I liked it. I appreciated this so much! I'm in love the lipstick she got me!

On the day of our wedding, Mara and Angelo also did hair and make-up for my mom and Matron of Honor. I'm amazed at how fast Mara can pull off an up do that is so original and perfectly styled!

We were a bit rushed to get out the door but both Angelo and Mara made sure every detail was taken care of and that we looked our absolute best!

Mara's pricing was very good/fair and it was obvious she genuinely cared about you as a client - she had your best interests at heart.

They were a very special part of my wedding day and will continue to be my go to for hair and make-up for years to come.

I was able to see first-hand the beauty and artwork up close of CityGirl's makeup and hair on one of their models. They truly pay attention to detail and can get those little subtleties that really make them stand out as experts in their field. The staff are delightful and so much fun!
