Pura Vida Perfection

We had Abby come and do our hair and makeup for our wedding in Tamarindo. She did such a great job. She is very easy to work with and made all of us look stunning. I would definitely recommend her! She put a timeline together and it made the morning run smoothly. My run through was a couple of days before which was perfect because then I looked amazing for my welcome party too. Hire Abby!

Reliable, responsive, and great to work with!

Abby did my hair and makeup for my wedding in Tamarindo in January 2025. I live in Colorado so was able to do a trial at her Boulder studio a month before!

She did such a great job helping me achieve the natural, yet elegant look I was going for! She was so flexible and understanding when I decided to add extensions at the last minute. She is a great listener, very responsive and dependable. I would highly recommend her for both hair and makeup!

Stunning hair and makeup!

Abby was such a joy to work with! She was always so responsive whenever I had a question. I went in for a trial but I ended up changing my hair style on my wedding day and she was so flexible with the last minute change. She did such an amazing job with my hair and makeup and it made me feel so beautiful on my wedding day. She also did hair and makeup for my bridesmaids and they all looked stunning.

Everything you never knew you needed in a Stylist

Abby was a dream come true for hair and makeup on my wedding day. My hair and makeup was really the only thing I was anxious about because I was nervous my vision wouldn't come to life. Abby was amazing at looking through photos of what I wanted and then catering it to me specifically to get the exact look I was going for. She was patient as I talked through different options with her and was easy to communicate with. On my wedding day she made me feel calm and pampered and I left feeling like an absolute princess. I would 10/10 recommend her!

Hair & Makeup fit for a queen!!

I cannot express enough praise for the excellent job Abby did on my hair and makeup for my wedding!! She is such a breeze to work with and she made me feel so comfortable during those stressful few hours before the wedding. She came to where we were staying and did both my Mom's and my hair. We didn't have a wedding party, but Abby was so accommodating to our needs. She also has an amazing studio in downtown Boulder where you can go for your trial and have some one on one time to discuss your ideas. Hire Shear Abby Salon if you want to look stunning on you big day!!!

Best hair stylist and make up artist

Shear Abby has such a calm demeanor when she is working . She remained calm throughout the entire process for my wedding preparation . She dedicated her time and did not rush through my make up or hair . She always asked if I was happy with the results and adjusted any knit picking . Some of my bridesmaids would interrupt and ask her to help them with their hair after the spa had done theirs and Abby did not hesitate to assist but always kept in mind that I was priority . I had a vision and she nailed it. I feared that the make up would be caked on and on the contrary it was very delicate and natural . I have very thin hair she added extensions for volume and trimmed them to wear I felt comfortable . It was the windiest day in Cancun Mexico and my hair and make up still managed to hold up . I only slept an hour and she still managed to make me feel and look elegant and pretty on one of the most important days of my life . Can’t thank this professional enough .

Best choice of all

When in doubt call Abby at Shear Abby Salon. She is so responsive and so organized. My original hair and makeup artist had to cancel (6 months before) so I contacted Abby. Abby and her assistant took care of me and my girls flawlessly. We looked perfect and I have never felt more beautiful. I would recommend anyone and everyone to Shear Abby.

Absolutely wonderful and flawless

I'm not even sure where to start with this review. Abby was so amazing from the time I asked her to be apart of my special day to the end. She was very organized and was so flexible with my needs. I'm the type of person who likes things to be planned out and organized and man did Abby nail that on the head. She had a schedule that was provided to me for my bridal party which made the morning of flawless. She was at our location on time and set up before I ever even got there. I got so many compliments on my hair and makeup that day she made me feel like an absolute princess. All of my girls looked amazing and best of all felt pretty and comfortable. It was beyond refreshing working with Abby and I would refer expertise to EVERYONE!
