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! -

Gabby and Martha were amazing to work with and made me and my family feel and look SO beautiful on my wedding day.

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. -

Great for my small group
Everything was great from my hair and make up trial, all the way to the big day! They were super responsive to numerous emails throughout the wedding planning process, and accommodating a last minute addition. Since I did not have a wedding party, I also needed to find someone that didn't require me to have 10 people getting hair an make up done, so if you have a small group, they are an excellent choice (although I'm sure they'd do big groups well too!) -

Great experience, flexible
Gabby and Martha were great to work with. They were flexible on timing, details and styles. I am beyond happy with how my hair and makeup turned out on our wedding day. I am also happy with how all of the bridesmaids turned out. Everyone had different style requirements and Gabby and Martha got them all right. -

FANTASTIC to work with!
Gabby and Martha were truly fantastic to work with!
From their initial reply back, I could tell that they were the consummate professionals, genuinely cared about their craft, and were warm as can be.
MY MOH, bridesmaid, and MOB all looked exquisite!! Their H&MU truly did last all night long - 14+ hours and counting! My mom received so many compliments on her hair, including, that she looked like she should be on the cover of Vogue (which she naturally loved)!
My bridesmaid, who flew in from LA, and is pretty hard to please, LOVED her hair!! Her make-up also looked gorgeous with her skin tone.
All the girls looked elegant and received so many compliments all night long from the wedding guests.
Gabby is a high-touch communicator and both the sisters are sweet as can be. They arrived early on the wedding day and were ready to rock and roll. We were on schedule all-day and Gabby and Martha made the H&MU process a breeze!
Truly a pleasure to work with on your wedding day! -

Martha and Ilda Made Everyone Feel Fabulous
I was married on March 16, 2019, and Martha and her associate Ilda did my hair and make up as well as my mother and now mother in law's...and Martha also did my hair and makeup trial a few months before. Martha was wonderful throughout the process and able to easily adapt to any special requests, Gabby was incredibly responsive and helpful in getting all the logistics set up, and they were both just really easy to work with. Plus the fact that they will travel to you and make it so that you have no hair or makeup worries for the day was truly invaluable! I will miss working with them!! -

I am not one to wear a lot of makeup or do more with my hair than a bun, but I decided for my wedding that it would be best if I had some professionals help me out. Gabby & Martha had gorgeous pictures online and great reviews so I decided to go with them. They are so nice and easy to work with. The trial was easy to schedule and went really well. They come to you on your wedding day, which was great, considering we had to start things early (8:30 am) to get my hair, my mom’s hair, and the bridesmaids done in time for the afternoon wedding. Martha and Ilda were fabulous. They are so sweet and funny and they really did an amazing job with my makeup and everyone’s hair. My hair and makeup looked even better than the trial. I actually want to start wearing more makeup now after looking at how amazing the wedding photos were. I would highly recommend them. -

Working with Gabby and Martha was so easy. They are true professionals. They carefully listen to your requests and their execution is terrific. I have seen them 4 times and each time my hair and make up turned out better than expected. For my wedding day, I was nervous my updo would not hold out all night and it did - for more than 12 hours without moving. My makeup was also lovely. I received many compliments! -

Gabby and Libby drove out to Luray, VA to do hair and makeup for me and my bridal party. They also did my hair and makeup trial a few weeks before my wedding. They were amazing. I felt put together and beautiful. I also felt like myself, despite being very done-up. Gabby, one of the owners of the business, responded within literal minutes each time I reached out to her (which was about a thousand times of having to reschedule). Gabby and Libby are easy-going, fun to be around, professional, and talented all at the same time. I will be honest, I was a little taken aback by the prices at first, but for the quality and experience, it was worth every penny, and honestly a discount considering the service I received.-

Gabby and Martha made me and girls look absolutely gorgeous! Everyone was over the moon about our looks. And I kept changing what I wanted w/ both hair and makeup even day-of, and they never batted an eye, just adjusted and moved forward. Never mind the fact that they are both so much fun to be around! I’m absolutely in love with working with these two fabulous ladies. Don’t hesitate to contact them! -

I was so happy with my make up and hair for my both bridal photoshoot. Gabby and Martha did a really good job. We had both sunrise photoshoot sections and they woke up super early in the morning and set up for everything and very professionally. It was so impressive. Thank you very much for your great job! -

I am a wedding planner based in DC and work have worked with so many HMUA's over my years of planning. Gabby and Martha have become my go-to's since meeting them a few years ago. They are not only super talented artists but are so wonderful at creating a calm and positive environment for our clients and their wedding parties on the morning of the wedding day. I've had clients use them for not only weddings but other portrait sessions, headshots, engagement photos and more. You will absolutely not regret choosing to work with them.
thank you, Gabby, Martha and team!!! xo -

Gabby and Martha were amazing from the very beginning until the end!!!! I had a trial with another makeup artist/hairstylist (not gabby or martha) a few months before my wedding and it was a disaster. About 30 minutes after the trial, my hairstyle started to completely fall apart, and I new I had to find someone new. I contacted Gabby and Martha after finding out they had done hair/makeup for a friend's wedding and the pictures were beautiful! Because I live on the west coast I couldn't do a trial until the week before my wedding, but I completely trusted them and they did not disappoint!!!! I ended up having a hair/makeup trial with Gabby and Martha a few days before my wedding and all I had to do was give them a simple description of what I wanted and they completely nailed it! It is incredible how they knew exactly what I was imagining in my head and made it come true with such ease. They made everything extremely simple and professional. They brought all of their equipment and even came to me for the trial, which was fantastic! They were easy to communicate with and sent very timely email responses to all of my (lots!) of questions. I was very nervous about having makeup, because I almost never wear makeup and I wanted it to look natural (many wedding pictures I look at it looks like the bride has WAY too much makeup and I didn't want that to happen). I couldn't have asked for them to do a better job, and they really listened to me and took direction (they weren't pushy about anything and when I said I did or didn't want anything, they listened). On the day of the wedding, my hairstyle and makeup lasted the entire night, and I was so thrilled and couldn't have been happier!! Thank you so much gabby and martha!!!!

Gabby and Martha Hair and Makeup was one of the BEST choices I made during my wedding planning process. Hair and makeup was a tough decision for me- I get very nervous about what goes on my face as I used to struggle with acne and have some scarring as a result. During my trial, Gabby and Libby listened to all of my concerns and my hopes and dreams for hair and makeup, and they made it a reality. My skin absolutely glowed, every makeup choice Libby made complimented my natural look and made it perfect. Gabby is an absolute miracle worker with hair. I have coarse, difficult hair, but she gave me the up-do of my dreams. My bridesmaids were so happy with their hair and makeup as well- they all looked so gorgeous. Gabby and Libby took the time to listen to what my mother, mother-in-law, and grandmother wanted for hair and makeup and did it perfectly. We got so many compliments about how beautiful everyone's hair and makeup was. Brides, you MUST MUST MUST book with Gabby and Martha. They are truly the experts who can make your bridal dreams a reality. This was simply one of the best decisions I made for my wedding day. Thank you for EVERYTHING, Gabby and Martha! -

Gabby and Martha, you are an amazing team! Your work is flawless, fresh and natural. Our hair and makeup for my daughter’s Quinceañera surpassed my expectations. Your work ethic, flexibility and tremendous talent is one to admire and beat. Over the years, I have come to realize that it is difficult to find #1 quality, #2 carisma and #3 professionalism...I am convinced you have all three. Thank you so much for making us look and feel like a $Million Bucks$.

Gabby and Martha (and their team) were so great!! First, Gabby is super responsive, which is always appreciated. Second, my fiance and I were having a brunch wedding (with me not realizing how long hair and makeup takes), and Gabby worked so hard with me to figure out how to we could get everyone ready in time *without* starting at 4 AM. Gabby also worked with me to figure out the location change, because we couldn't get into our venue until 7:30 AM, but we had to get started on the hair and makeup before that. (Gabby and Martha brought another stylist and an assistant to help keep things moving.)
My parents came with me to my hair and makeup trial, and Gabby and Martha were so gracious and accommodating. Gabby even did some trial stuff on my mom while I was working with Martha on my makeup, which was so nice of them.
The reason I chose Gabby and Martha was (a) the good reviews (obviously), and (b) because of the tight time schedule, I wanted people who were used to working together (as opposed to getting separate/standalone hair and makeup people). And post-wedding, I feel pretty vindicated. :-) (We did run a little behind schedule, but given the location change plus the cramped quarters at the venue, that was to be expected.)
Most importantly, of course, I looked amazing, as did the other gals in the wedding party. ;-) I'm very happy that I chose Gabby and Martha! -

I loved Gabby and Martha! From my trial to our wedding day, they listened to all my concerns and made my vision come true. Wedding day, they were timely and professional. They did hair and makeup for myself, four bridesmaids, and my mom and everyone said they loved everything about their hair and makeup. They also covered up a medium sized tattoo on my upper back. At the end of the night, my hair and makeup still looked flawless! Their energy was a great way to start my wedding day and I appreciate not only their hard work but their excitement and I'm just so happy to have had them! Any bride should feel assured they are in the best of hands possible for their wedding day (or any big day!) -

Gabby and Martha did an absolutely amazing job on me and my bridesmaids at my wedding. My bridesmaids all wanted different looks, and Gabby and Martha made them all look amazing. I was nervous about wearing a lot of makeup, but I could barely tell I had it on and loved how I looked, and my hair got so many compliments! I could not have been happier!! -

I found Gabby and Martha at the very last minute after my first two wedding trials failed ( I am picky) and they were absolutely amazing! They were professional, knowledgeable, warm, and TIMELY! They didn't waste time talking about weather and other nonsense for 40 minutes (unlike previous vendors) before diving in and making things happen fast! I have very straight and thin hair, and I don't know how they did it, but my gorgeous curls (and my whole make up) lasted the whole day! And this is on top of the fact that it was a very very hot day and I sweated and cried like crazy! It was such a blessing to work with both of these ladies, who took the stress of make up and hair completely out of my wedding day! Thank you from the bottom of my heart! -

Gabby and Martha were incredibly professional, talented, and fun to be around! I, as the bride, enjoyed the process of first corresponding with them via email, meeting in person a few months prior to the wedding for the hair and makeup trial, and finally, having them work with me and my family on my wedding day. I felt at ease -- they truly love what they do. They worked with a small handful of women very close to me, including my mom, sister, and mother-in-law. All of us were beyond satisfied with the results. We highly recommend working with Gabby and Martha! -

I booked Gabby and Marthas services while I was still in the Philippines. They were very patient in answering all my questions. They were very accomodating.
Martha was a wonderful make up artist to work with, she is very professional. She is a natural artist. She really knows how to make women beautiful. She did my sisters, nieces and my makeup. We had the airbrush makeup and our faces looked flawless, it was fabulous.. It lasted all day and all night! Thank you so much Martha! You made that day extra special for us all... -

When searching for a makeup and hairstylist for my wedding, I was really nervous to let anyone touch my hair. But when I met gabby and did the trial, She made me feel so comfortable and assured me I was in good hands. She listened closely to the look I was going for and she exceeded with the results. Not only did she do a great job with my hair but she also did a great job with my mother and sisters too. Amazing job<3
Thank you, Mitra

Gabby and Martha did a phenomenal job with our wedding hair and makeup at a very fair and reasonable price! I am so happy that we found them and recommend them enthusiastically. They handled makeup for 9 different women (including the mothers), and hair for 6, and everyone looked just beautiful. They timed our day out perfectly - we were never in a rush or scrambling to finish hair and makeup - and their artists gave everyone the hair and makeup look that worked best for them (no cookie cutters!). Gabby and Martha were extremely professional and very responsive throughout the planning process and the artists did a BEAUTIFUL job with all different types of hair, and a variety of makeup levels - they were amazing! -

If you are looking to book a hair stylist for your wedding look no further - BOOK THEM.
I had originally hired another hair stylist for my wedding and two weeks before my wedding had a very bad hair trial experience. I immediately did a yelp search looking for someone that was available on the day of my wedding to do my hair along with 7 bridesmaids and found Gabby and Martha. They responded to me immediately and were able to do a hair trial a few days later.
Martha came to my home to do the hair trial and took the time to do three different styles so I could be 100% sure about what looked best on my wedding day. I had never been more relieved. My hair looked and felt perfect. It was exactly what I wanted.
On the day of my wedding Martha and her assistant showed up on time, and did an impeccable job on the entire wedding parties' hair.
I cannot recommend them enough! -

Gabby and Martha were EXCELLENT! They were super accommodating, flexible and very responsive. But the best part about them is their personality and incredible talent. They have an energy that adds to the excitement and fun of your big day. I do not have super long hair but wanted a whimsical updo and they miraculously pulled it off and did not have to use extensions! When deciding to get a hair and makeup team I was a little nervous because I wanted my makeup to have a natural feel -- they listened to me and delivered! Now I wish they would do my makeup every day :) I also had a bridesmaid that had a black eye from a bar incident and you never would have known. I highly recommend them as a team! -

Gabby and Martha are GREAT! My hair and makeup was amazing! My wedding was in the morning, so makeup / hair start time was very early. They showed up at my house on time and ready to work. I was done ahead of schedule and looked great. You can't do wrong with selecting this sister team for your special day! -

Gabby and Martha were, hands down, one of the best decisions I made for my wedding day. Both were incredibly skilled (artists, for sure) and did both my hair and makeup that far exceeded any of my wildest dreams.
They were super quick, funny and warm, and absolute geniuses with both hair and makeup. I am giddy about seeing my pictures, and am forever grateful for Gabby and Martha making me look and feel absolutely beautiful.
Best hair and makeup in DC!!!! -

If you want to feel beautiful and shine with confidence, do yourself a huge favor and hire Gabby & Martha for your wedding hair and make-up wishes! These two sisters are the most professional, most down to earth, sweetest, most friendly and passionate vendors that I have ever come across in the industry. I have worked with them on several wedding editorial shoots and they always go above and beyond -- always staying to make sure their clients had the necessary touch-ups during the course of the wedding day. I have also seen them put nervous brides and clients at ease, and these ladies are transformed into a different person afterwards! In addition, Gabby & Martha are also well-versed on the latest makeup trends and will work with you to make your vision a reality. I highly recommend this dynamic duo sister team for ANY of your hair & makeup needs! Thank you so very much, dear Gabby & Martha, for helping us shine... both inside and out! -

I was a wedding photographer when I still lived in DC 4 years ago and I've worked w/ Gabby a few times for photo shoots. When it was time for my own wedding, I knew I wanted Gabby & Martha & didn't hesitate to contact them.
Here are 3 main reasons why I think EVERY bride should go with Gabby & Martha:
1) Their expertise and top notch skills. SERIOUSLY, these women have been honing their craft since they were what, teenagers? They know what you want before you even show them, but they'll ask you out of respect anyway because they're kind and professional like that. They study your face to make sure the look you want will suit you because God knows not every look on Pinterest will suit every bride (hey, just keeping it real here). They'll work with you until you're fully satisfied, but they do their BEST work when you trust them to work their magic. Show them photos of what you want, but give them room to let them do their thing and you won't be disappointed!
2) Their relentless PASSION and LOVE for what they do.
People in the wedding industry know who is truly passionate about what they do, and who's in it just to "keep the business going". I used to tell my brides ALL the time to go with vendors who keep their creative teams small because they tend to be more passionate about their work. SO many vendors in the wedding industry get burnt out easily, but not Gabby & Martha. These ladies are extremely passionate about their craft and consistently devote themselves to their clients. I didn't feel like "another bride" - I truly felt valued as a client and they took their time with me.
3) PROFESSIONALISM
They're punctual, efficient with their work and always professional. Gabby & Martha are WORTH every penny! If you want to look amazing on your wedding day, I highly recommend Gabby & Martha. Their talents, kindness & professionalism are a rarity these days.
Thank you, Gabby & Martha! -

I was referred to Gabby & Martha for the hair and make-up for my wedding day by our photographer, and I couldn't have been happier with them! Every step of the process with them was so effortless and convenient. They came to me for both the trials and the day of the wedding (their travel fees were also less expensive than a lot of the other companies I had looked in to) and they were so prepared and professional, yet friendly and welcoming. I loved the look that we created for my trial hair and makeup, but they told me to wear the look for the day and let them know if I decided I would like to make any changes for the day of the wedding. So when I decided by the end of the day that there were a few small things I would want done differently, I felt completely comfortable letting them know. They were so receptive of the information, made the appropriate changes, and on the day of the wedding it was absolutely perfect and EXACTLY what I was looking for! These ladies are sisters and work flawlessly together as a team and it really shows when the final look comes together beautifully. They are so sweet, kind, flexible, and talented...I cant say enough good things about them! :) -

Gabby and Martha ARE THE BEST!!
BEST HAIR AND MAKE UP IN DC/MD/VA/ THE WORLD!!!!
Gabby and Martha did my hair and makeup for my wedding, my bridesmaids, the moms, and a few of my friends. Seven of my bridesmaids got married this year or are getting married next year in 2017 and could not be happier. I can honestly say I have found my hair and make up team for life.
After my wedding I've had hired them to do hair and makeup for my headshots this past September, my friend's wedding in October, my Christmas gala December 3rd, my husband's christmas party December 10th, and look forward to working with them again and again.
You want the BEST for your wedding. you want to look the most beautiful for your wedding, and/or any occasion of your life. We are hardworking women and deserve to beautiful, to feel pamper, and to look our best. Hire these girls - YOU DESERVE THE BEST!!!

After several consultations with numerous beauty and health artist, Gabby and Martha offered me the best package for both hair AND makeup.
1. Quality of Service - Their quality of service is top notch. They came prepared with all their tables, chairs, makeup and hair supplies both on the trial date and on the wedding day. They used airbrush make up which stays on you for a rest of the day. The technique they used to put on lashes caused no irritation whatsoever. Not to mention that it was also raining on my wedding day and the make-up and hair for all 7 girls were still in perfect condition by the end of the night. Of course, touch ups are required here and there if you have oily skin. It is just the way the skin works. However, we don't have to patch on too much of touch ups. Light brush and powder and lip gloss will do. After working with them, you can tell that they do care about their final product. They want the bride and bridesmaid to look the best at the wedding. They also becareful that the bridesmaid will not ended up with the same hair as the bride. This is the bride special day, she deserve to look different.
2. Responsiveness - All my communication was done on WeddingWire. Either Gabby or Martha do replied within few hours. They are also available on the phone. Quick and easy communication. Love!
3. Professionalism - Needless to say, showing up on time with all their supplies ready is the first step to professionalism. They conducted themselves professionally around needy bridesmaids. We had a great time.
4. Value - I have to say with the all inclusive pricing they offer led me to book them for my wedding. Some vendors charge lashes and airbrush separately. Some vendors required you to sign their contracts before you even meet with your makeup and hair artist. They meet with you for trial and then you can decide on their service.
5. Flexibility - They are very flexible regarding timing, style, and hair dos.

Gabby & Marth are the epitome of professionals. They are patient and nice to work with – and mostly, they do a GREAT job. I was so pleased with how everyone looked at my wedding. They even covered up my mother-in-laws tattoo! You cant beat their price for the quality of work you’ll receive. A+ rating in my book!

Gabby and Martha are AMAZING! I struggled for so long in finding the perfect hair stylists for my wedding, but I knew it was fate when I spoke with these incredible ladies for the very first time! Not only did they travel over an hour to come to my own house for my hair trial, but they helped style the hair of all seven of my bridesmaids, my mother, and me! Talk about daunting - but these ladies handled it with such grace and worked their magic on all of us! Everyone looked so beautiful and we all received so many compliments from guests! I can't recommend Gabby and Martha enough. They are so kind, sweet, professional, and go above and beyond for their clients. They are truly talented artists and I couldn't be more grateful to have had the chance to work with them! -

I would highly recommend Gabby & Martha Hair and Makeup to anyone who wants to feel and look like a princess at their wedding. I have to say I was constantly amazed at these ladies' skills. They are phenomenal! And the great part too is they come directly to you. No need to go to a busy salon on your wedding day! Gabby came to my house prior to the wedding to do a hair trial and I was left in complete amazement. She has some serious skill when it comes to hair! Needless to say after the trial I was quite reassured that I didn't have anything to worry about and would be in good hands on my wedding day. On the day of my wedding Gabby, Martha, and Carla came to the hotel I was staying at to do the hair and makeup for my bridal party and I. Originally we had requested for 4 hair and 3 make up. Since they all did such an unbelievable job on our hair (Gabby & Carla) and make up (Martha) my sisters and one of my bridesmaids last minute asked if they could get theirs done too. Without blinking an eye they agreed to it and even though we were in a time crunch to catch the bus they managed to do theirs too in record time! These ladies are truly magicians in the art of hair and makeup. I don't know how they do it! The entire wedding, guests kept asking me who did our hair and make up because of what a great job they did. They are reasonably priced and worth their weight in gold. Would highly recommend Gabby and Martha Hair & Makeup!! -

Looking for the right person to do your hair and make up is a must when it comes to your wedding! You have to take the time to read the reviews and make sure you can trust this person since the experience and memories will be with you for ever. Miraculously I found Martha! She was my hair and make up artist and I couldn't have been more blessed! She was fabulous! From the trial to the final day... She was very professional and always made sure I had what I wanted. The day of the wedding my hair and make up was flawless and everybody complimented me on how wonderful I looked. Some people even said I looked like a Disney princess! I was truly happy with the outcome and I'm sure if you decide to go with her you will be too! Thank you Martha! -

Words can't express how incredible Gabby and Martha Hair and Makeup truly are. If you are looking for someone for hair and/or makeup hands down...these are your girls! I am a DC area wedding photographer and when it came to picking someone to do my hair and makeup for my bridal shower and later my wedding in Alexandria, VA it had to be Gabby and Martha Hair and Makeup. Gabby and her sister Martha make an incredible team. They are creative, talented, calming, and up to date with all of the current hair and makeup trends. My bridal shower was a mehndi party. The morning of the shower, Gabby and Martha along with their team of two others arrived early to do hair and makeup for my mom, my now mother-in-law, and me. They did an incredible job on making my hair and makeup very "Indian-looking." I even had the metallic gold look on my eyes! My mom and my now mother-in-law had very light skin and I was shocked to see how amazing their hair and makeup was! This made them even more excited for the wedding day. On the wedding day, Gabby and Martha Hair and Makeup arrived early to do hair for me and my bridal party. Everyone loved how creative they were and the hair styles were flawless. Our hair styles lasted through the July heat and throughout the wedding that went very late into the night. Once our bridal party had finished hair, Gabby and Martha and their team stayed behind to do hair and makeup for some of our wedding guests. Everyone had a blast and absolutely loved their looks! I can't thank these ladies enough for everything they did! We looked gorgeous! They have my highest recommendation. -

Gabby and Martha Hair & Make Up is amazing! I chose them for my wedding and I have absolutely no regrets. I rated them a 5.0 because they are truly the best all around. They listened to my requests, and worked with me to achieve the look that I desired for my wedding. They are very skilled, reliable, experienced, customer focused, and friendly. They helped me look gorgeous on my special day. I have been so pleased with the results of their work that I have hired them for additional events such as, my high school reunion, formal events and relative's sweet sixteen (Quinceanero). I feel confident in their work that I have, and will continue, to refer them to family and friends. -

I'm proud to say that I was one of the first customers of Gabby and Martha. A close friend referred me to Gabby to do my wedding hair, and I couldn't have been more pleased. Gabby and Martha did my hair, as the bride, as well as my six bridesmaids. We agreed on an affordable price, and they came to the hotel room where we were all getting ready, thus making my wedding day so much easier! Gabby and Martha are true hair experts and artists. They are able to take a picture and turn your hair into a perfect or even better replica. I was worried about my hair falling down as we were having an outdoor wedding, and it stayed in tact the entire day.
I would highly recommend Gabby and Martha for anyone's wedding hair needs. They made me feel like a special and valued client. They are also very professional and courteous to everyone in the room! -

Gabby and Martha were absolutely amazing to work with. I was in need of hairstyling and makeup for my sisters and I at the last minute and based on their highly rated reviews I trusted Gabby and Martha. They were extremely professional but warm and welcoming at the same time. My hair was exactly how I had pictured and both of my sisters also looked amazing as well. We collectively felt that Gabby and Martha went above and beyond for us on such short notice. Any bride and her bridemaids would be lucky to have them! -

I cannot recommend Gabby and Martha highly enough!
Background: I'd originally gone to my regular salon stylist for a hair trial who basically slicked my hair back, threw my hair in a pony tail, curled it, and pinned it in. It was exactly what I said I DIDN'T want. I wanted something modern and elegant, but importantly, wanted to feel like I secured a hair vendor I was confident in, had one less thing to worry about, and was going to be happy with my hair for my wedding. Photos are forever, people! Enter, Gabby.
I showed her a few photos of things I did and didn't like. With the memories of the bad prom hair still very fresh, Gabby was a dream. She talked through all my likes and dislikes, and incorporated all my likes into an updo during my trial that was everything I wanted. I was thrilled. The day of my wedding, she did it even prettier, adding lots of little intricacies in the curls. Gabby is a true artist and a pleasure to work with!!! -

Martha, of Gabby and Martha, did a wonderful job with the hair and make-up for my wedding! She gave each woman exactly what they wanted, and made us all look and feel beautiful. I have never felt more gorgeous and perfect, and I received so many compliments on my lovely up-do (my husband loved it too)! Martha really took the time to listen to what we all wanted and worked very meticulously. She is also incredibly sweet and became one of the group by the end of the day! You can tell Martha takes great pride in her work and loves what she does. I feel so fortunate to have had Martha with us on my wedding day, and would encourage anyone to work with this wonderful team! -

Gabby did hair for a 6-person wedding party that ranged in age from 65 to 5. Each member looked perfect. The updos were amazing and could withstand the wind of Baltimore's inner harbor and raucous dancing late into the night. I was a bridesmaid and had a dress that was strapless on one shoulder. She talked through the updo options with me and gave a romantic side sweeping updo. I loved it. As for the bride, she wanted a somewhat intricate updo that involved extensions. Gabby gave her a romantic, majestic, timeless look that complemented her gown and completed her breathtaking look. Gabby was amazing!!! -

They come to your location, which is a great convenient. They are gentle with you and make you feel really comfortable while doing the makeup. Very lovely ladies. Would definitely recommend. -

Martha and Gaby were a true blessing for me, I was lucky enough to have them do my make up and hair for this special day (my wedding) not only they were sensitive to hear what I had in mind... but by the time they were done, they blew my mind away with the results. I truly recommend them for any bride looking for real artists! Martha and Gaby are it! -

They were amazing! The hairstyles they did were gorgeous and held up through the night. And the makeup was flawless! Perfect for prom/any other special occasion. -

I truly have no words for the service that was provided. The hair and makeup were both wonderful and exactly what I had described. I cannot think of anything I would change or improve upon. I would highly recommend their services. -

Gabby coordinated the hair (for me, four bridesmaids, and two mothers) and make-up (for me) for my wedding, and we worked with Ilda, Norma, and Libby day-of. Gabby was extremely responsive, and each of the stylists was professional, pleasant to work with, and open to feedback. My hair took longer than planned for (both at the trial and day-of), which made me a little nervous, but it didn't end up causing any problems. I got lots of compliments on the hair style, and it stayed in place 100% the whole night! I think my mother, mother-in-law, and bridesmaids were also pleased with their hairstyles. Make-up artist Libby did a great job on my make-up so that I looked appropriate for the day but not overdone and on assisting the hair stylists with prep to make sure everyone was ready on or before schedule. -

They were so friendly, helpful, and easy to work with. Their make-up and hair skills are top notch. I would definitely recommend them as a wedding hair and make-up vendor to future brides. I knew that I was going to look flawless on my big day after my trial with Martha & Gabby. :) -

After searching around for AGES looking for a company with true artists that were affordable for my wedding day, I found Gabby and Martha.
They were amazing to work with--responsive, incredibly skilled, and true professionals. The trial at Gabby and Martha's studio was an awesome experience (take advantage of it if you live in the area!).
Libby did makeup for myself and my bridesmaids and Gabby did hair for my mother and I. Everyone looked absolutely beautiful, while looking natural and like the best versions of ourselves.
I can't recommend them highly enough. So many of our guests took the time to comment that the hair and makeup was exceptionally beautiful. They made everyone in the bridal party feel like a princess--especially me! -

Gabby and Martha were wonderful! Gabby and Martha did my hair and make-up for my wedding, and I highly recommend them. First, my hair and make-up turned out great. I had my hair half down and curled and it held up beautifully through a very windy outdoor ceremony. As for my make-up, Gabby and Martha had great advice about what would photograph well, and I ended up with just the look I was hoping for. My bridesmaids and mom also had their hair and make-up done and were very happy with the results. In addition to doing beautiful work, Gabby and Martha were extremely accommodating and a pleasure to spend time with. The ladies traveled over an hour to my home to do my trial and were very patient with my many questions. (I highly recommend doing a trial. My trial helped me refine my "vision," and Gabby and Martha made great adjustments based on the trial.) They are extremely fun and friendly and were lovely to spend the morning of my wedding day with. Overall, I feel great about my decision to go with Gabby and Martha, and I can't recommend them highly enough. -

My special day wouldn't have been the same without Gabby & Martha
From the first moment of meeting Gabby and Martha, I knew my wedding hair and makeup would be perfect. They are consummate professionals, whether you need their help with a vision or if you have a vision in mind. I am so grateful that they were a part of the best day of my life. -

An amazing duo!
I don't think there is enough space here to sum up my experience with Gabby and Martha. They both went above and beyond to make me feel absolutely beautiful on my wedding day and I don't think I can ever thank them enough! Gabby and I had multiple hair trials, she was so accommodating and just willing to make sure my hair was how I wanted it. Some of my pictures are posted here. They were on time, ready to go, and had everyone done and ready to go. It was such a great experience working with them, I highly recommend!!-

Wonderful hair, terrible makup
I wish I could write two separate reviews, as one - for the hair would be glowing. The other - for the makeup - would not.
I setup and paid for a trial run of both hair and makeup. I showed photos of what I was looking for. First the hair; it was wonderful. A fun, elegant updo that exceeded expectations. The makeup, however, was really awful. From the beginning of the trial I could feel that Martha was using tons of eyeliner (I didn't want any eyeliner) so spoke up and said that I wanted to see where it was going. She said I had to wait for the "big reveal." My mother who was watching the makeup go on looked increasingly skeptical. Again, I asked to see the progress and was assured I should only look once done. I should have pushed back harder b/c an hour later I had a face of makeup I would NEVER wear.
A trial is a time to learn and iterate, right? Ugh.
Ultimately, the makeup was:
A. Heavy-duty glam whereas I had asked for a light, natural look. Massive contouring, glossing bright lips, heavy eyes.
B. She did not take my complexion into account. I literally looked grey and 10 years older than I am. When I commented that the foundation really didn't match my skin she replied, "well I didn't bring the right one". (I had emailed her photos of myself before the trial.)
So, on my wedding day I had Gabby do my hair (which I again loved) and did my own makeup with the help of a friend. (Politely assuring them that we would pay to meet their minimum even if we didn't use their services.)
A couple other people were having their hair/makeup done by them and one could not make it in time. Rather than being at all friendly or understanding, Martha's only concern seemed to be that we meet the financial minimum which I had already assured them we would pay, even if we didn't use their services.
I'll add that Gabby also did another person's hair and it too came out beautifully. -

Avoid this company!
AVOID THIS COMPANY!
They ruined my hair! I looked like Shirley temple were done. They do not wash and dry hair. They didn't tell me this - you have to read the fine print. I met for a consultation told them how I wanted my hair done as the Mother of the Bride - loose wavy hair. Instead I had cemented curls. My hair looks horrible in all the wedding photos. Gabby and Martha were not friendly or concerned that I was upset about my hair. Very unprofessional.
