    Perfect experience!

    Working with AB’s team was so easy in preparation of, and on the day of my wedding. I was able to communicate exactly what I wanted, but also communicate with them on things I was unsure about. The open communication and pre-wedding trial made me absolutely sure I made the right decision with AB’s team. I was placed with Lauren for hair and Emma for make up, they did mine and my whole family- both girls were so professional and fun, and did SO well.

    Allison and staff were incredible!

    I loved working with Paige and Leah, and Emma and Ellie were wonderful with the remainder of the bridal party! Everyone looked and felt beautiful.

I am so grateful for their expertise, knowledge, patience, and kindness on my wedding day!

    Great experience, highly recommend!

    I used Allison Barbera beauty for makeup services for my wedding recently and am so happy I did! Allison herself was extremely helpful and an excellent communicator during the whole planning process. She was so organized and professional! Our makeup was done by Emma who was so sweet and talented. She helped me feel calm, confident, and beautiful on my special day and made all of my bridesmaids and mom/MIL look radiant. I would highly recommend Allison Barbera Beauty to any brides-to-be.

    Best Hair/Makeup in the state (and beyond!)

    I reached out to probably 25+ hair/makeup vendors and I knew from the minute I started speaking with Allison that this was going to be the best choice. That proved to be beyond true from communication to my trial to the day of, everything was absolutely perfect. Thank you!

    Great Experience

    Allison was wonderful to work with in scheduling hair and makeup services for my September wedding. She was on top of every little detail and very prompt in her responses. Emma and Leah are both incredibly talented and made everyone look stunning! Plus they are just fun people which helps when so much is happening. Looking back at my pictures I am thrilled with how everything turned out! Five stars!

    One of our favorite vendors of the wedding!

    We absolutely loved working with Leah and Paige from ABB. Allison was super professional and easy to work with, and Leah and Paige provided the most amazing hair and makeup services. My mom, bridesmaids, and I felt so beautiful and my makeup lasted all day!

    Amazing team!

    I highly recommend Allison’s team for hair and makeup services. Allison was incredibly organized and responsive leading up to the wedding and working with her team on my wedding day was just as seamless. Both the hair and makeup artists took the time to understand the look that each person was trying to achieve and they executed flawlessly. Everyone in my bridal party was so happy with the end result. 10/10 recommend!

    Wedding Hair/Makeup

    Book. Them. Immediately. I was so beyond impressed with my wedding hair and makeup! Katie did an absolutely incredible job with my makeup, I said I still wanted to look like myself just a bit more elevated than my normal every day makeup and she 1000% delivered. Leah was fantastic with my hair, the few changes we made from the trial looked perfect and I couldn’t have been happier. My bridesmaids, mom, and mother in law all got their hair and makeup done as well and they all looked absolutely beautiful. Allison was also incredibly responsive and was so on top of everything. Seriously, book them now!!

    Allison Barbera Beauty's reply:

    Thanks so much for your kind words, Erin. Katie, Leah, Emma and Ellie loved working with you and your bridal party, and you were a pleasure to work with on my end as well. We're so glad that you were happy with the hair and makeup and the overall experience.

    Lovely Wedding Makeup!

    I worked with Allison Barbera for my wedding makeup on myself (the bride) and my bridal party. Allison was extremely helpful on all things planning and leading up to the big day. We had Nicole and Liz work on our wedding makeup and everyone was super happy on how it turned out!

    Perfect makeup

    Allison Barbera Beauty was a great company to work with for our wedding makeup services. Jen was our artist, and did an amazing job with all of the girls' makeup. Everyone looked absolutely stunning. It was the best feeling in the world when I looked into the mirror and felt confident in how natural and beautiful my makeup was. It lasted all day long and looked flawless in the pictures. Jen was so easy going, fun to chat with, and really just blended into the bridal party that day like a friend. Our florist even complimented everyone's makeup, saying that he's seen so many brides who can't move their faces because of the caked-on products, and loved how natural everyone in the party looked. Allison was very easy to communicate with throughout the process, and Jen was just the perfect artist for our day. I can't recommend the company and Jen enough!

    Allison Barbera Beauty's reply:

    Thanks so much for your review! We're thrilled that you were so happy with Jen, the makeup services and the communication during the process. And what a nice compliment from your florist!

    It was a pleasure working with you. Thanks for choosing AB Beauty to be a part of your wedding day!

    Fabulous Wedding Hair & Makeup Services

    Lauren and Emma did my hair and makeup respectively - they were incredible.

    Before the day, it was such a joy to work with Allison. She was always proactively communicative, prompt in her replies and so clear in setting timing expectations and scheduling. She made our hair and make up schedule work seamlessly - even though I had to add someone last minute - and she answered any questions my wedding party and I had - even the most detailed ones. Both she and my makeup artist, Emma, did an incredible job of integrating my thoughts from my trial into our plan for the day of.

    On the day of, both Emma and Lauren were fabulous - they made me and my wedding party feel so special, seen, beautiful and at ease. They provided professional suggestions while also easily taking into account our preferences and visions. Everyone looked stunning and natural - and the makeup lasted all night long.

    Allison Barbera Beauty's reply:

    Thanks, Alex! We're so glad that you were happy with your hair and makeup, and with the process as a whole.

    It was a pleasure working with you, and it was an honor to be a part of your wedding day.

    Thanks again!

    Amazing!!!!

    I could not recommend them enough! Allison was the easiest to work with. She jumped on the phone with me when I first inquired about availability, she was very professional and answered every single question promptly. Emma was the make up artist and she was the best - so warm and made everyone feel comfortable. I loved my make up - exactly what I wanted & everyone else in the wedding party did too. Emma was early, and got everyone done in plenty of time. I would ask for her again for any event in the future! 10/10

    Working with Allison and her team was a great experience. Allison was flexible when I asked for changes after my trial, and when I needed to add another hair and makeup person at the last minute.

Allison was extremely supportive and responsive during the planning stages, and her keen attention to detail helped me to feel confident that there were no oversights. Everything ran smoothly and according to plan as we got ready, and I don't believe this would have been possible without Allison's detailed planning tools and advice leading up to my wedding day.

    I was extremely happy with the hair and makeup services provided by Lauren & Kristin, who helped make my dream wedding look a reality. I would consider myself to be very picky with my hair and makeup, yet at the start of the wedding planning process I had no clue what I wanted for my dream wedding look. Lauren and Kristin were fantastic with helping me to find my vision, and then make my dreams come to life. I met with them prior to my wedding for 2 different wedding hair & makeup trials, which allowed me to explore two different styles and get a feel for what I liked the best. Both Lauren and Kristin worked extensively with me to ensure that I was happy with the end result and that I took steps leading up to my big day to look my absolute best.

    Lauren, Kristin, and the rest of their team were all incredibly supportive on my wedding day, particularly as I was navigating multiple emergency situations and unexpected challenges that cropped up at the last minute. It was a much tougher weekend than I expected because of this, and many things leading up to my wedding day did not go according to plan. Lauren and Kristin both were so kind, warm, and patient with me on the morning of my wedding, which I believe played a critical role in helping me get through the wedding day flawlessly in spite of the tremendous additional stress and lack of sleep. I can't emphasize enough how much I appreciate them!!!!

    The Allison Barbera beauty team also did an exceptional job with providing hair and makeup services for my bridal party, my mother, and my mother-in-law. Everyone looked absolutely flawless, and the team was very lovely to work with. The team was also fantastic with accommodating different style requests and needs from my bridal party & family, while still making sure that everyone has a final look that fit in with my vision as the bride.

    I would highly recommend Allison Barbera Beauty to any and every bride!!!! They were absolutely phenomenal and played a direct role in making my special day as amazing as it way.
