What a talented team!!

I love this team! They are so kind and accommodating. I made 1 million changes to my contract and they never gave me any issue and were always staying up to date and I never felt that I needed to micro-manage anything at all! They are amazing people and extremely talented. I am so thankful to have found this team. Gabby and Libby are the sweetest people and our bridal party looked incredible! Thank you for everything, Gabby!!

A Truly Beautiful Experience

I can't say enough good things about Gabby and Martha Hair & Makeup! Not only are they magicians, making their clients look beautiful, but they go above and beyond to make you feel special. From the first correspondence, to the trial appointment, to the wedding day, they treat you like you're their only client. Martha and Libby did our hair and makeup for my wedding last weekend and they were both a true joy to work with. They are exceptionally talented, organized and professional. They seek input on what look each client wants and work their magic. After hours of eating, drinking, dancing and photos, my hair and makeup still looked amazing. Thank you both for sharing your talent and making the day extra special!

Magical hands

These ladies are WONDERFUL! Not only are they super talented but they’re also great to be around the time we were done we felt like we’d been best friends for years! The make up and hair were impeccable. They’re very attentive and accommodating and will give you your dream look. I think the only time I was 100% satisfied with my make up was when Martha did it. Don’t look any further if they’re free on your date book them!

Best Experience! Highly recommend!

I had such a positive experience working with Gabby and Martha and would recommend them to any bride looking for hair and makeup! They were always very responsive, answered all my questions, and just overall a fun group to be around! All the bridesmaids and myself absolutely loved our hair and makeup. They put so much time and thought into each person's look, giving them exactly what they were looking for!

Glam squad!

Gabby & Martha are IT if you want to look better than you could ever imagine for your special day! They used every safety precaution during the trial run & on our wedding day. They were so nice and listened to each person as to their likes and dislikes. I don’t think I’ve ever seen my mom look so pretty! I wanted a “glam” look while still looking like “me”...they knocked it out of the park!

Gorgeous work!

Gabby and Martha are a lovely team, and were lovely to work with from the start. It took me a while to research and find them, as I was very particular about the hair and makeup look I wanted. The trial experience was absolutely worth it to learn what I truly wanted and didn't want, and they really helped me find my look. On the day of, they worked with my mom and mother-in-law to find their looks, and they looked fantastic! Highly recommend!

Wonderful Job!

Gabby and Martha were a delight to work with. I found them on Wedding Wire as well as in the credits for the tv show, Married at First Sight. They were very detailed oriented from the scheduling of the hair and makeup trial to the day of the wedding. I am glad that I did the hair and makeup trial before the wedding so they could perfect how my hair and makeup would look on my wedding day and I was extremely happy with how it turned out. They arrived on time the day of the wedding and had everything set up and ready to go. My bridesmaids and I were thrilled with Gabby and Martha's excellent job of perfecting everyone's hair and makeup and we finished on time. I would highly recommend them for your wedding!

Absolutely love Gabby & Martha!

I contacted Gabby & Martha via Weddingwire after having a bit of trouble finding a makeup artist that was professional, responsive, and had beautiful work. My first initial impression of Gabby & Martha was that they did beautiful hair and makeup and that they were so responsive. I sent a lot of emails and they responded to all of my questions in less than 24 hours, which is super important as a bride who is trying to get everything ready for a wedding.

On the day of the wedding, Gabby & Martha traveled to the venue and was able to set everything up in our room. I had a really small wedding and wanted to treat my mother and mother-in-law to makeup and hair and they absolutely lovedddddd how beautiful Gabby & Martha made them! My mom, who never trusts anyone with her hair or makeup, was astounded by how amazing she looked in the mirror and it made me smile so much. As for me, Gabby & Martha was able to transform my face and hair into the exact look that I had wanted!

I highly recommend Gabby & Martha for all your makeup / hair needs!

They did amazing work!

Gabby and Martha did an AMAZING job on hair and makeup for myself, my bridesmaids, and the moms. They were friendly, professional, and made sure everyone looked GREAT! They handled getting my hair extensions, made sure my tiara stayed on my head, and everyone's hair and makeup was still looking good at the end of the night. I highly recommend them and would work with them again in a heartbeat.

Gabby and Martha's professionalism is simply superb! They aim to please all her clients from beginning to end. Unlike many other makeup and hair artists, the quality of cosmetic products they use is top notch. Your makeup will last all day and even the next day, impeccable! Their flexibility and warmth is highly appreciated by my clients and me. If there's any beauty challenge (like adding hair extensions or covering a tattoo), that's an easy thing to do for them. Working with them is always a delight!
