Rebecca Sent on 01/02/2026Thank you nour!
I’m so grateful for MAB Artistry because it led me to Nour! She is an incredible makeup artist. I wanted a glamorous look but still wanted to feel like myself, and she absolutely delivered. Even my bridesmaids said their makeup was the best they’ve ever had. One of them even mentioned that she preferred her bridesmaid makeup at my wedding over her own wedding makeup! Nour is so sweet and truly listens to what you’re looking for. I can’t recommend her enough and will definitely book her again in the future! -

I was very happy with MAB artistry! I loved my makeup trial at the studio and found all of the makeup artists the bridal party worked with to be very good - professional, on time, and attentive. My wedding makeup still looked like me - not overdone. -

I booked this vendor at the advice of a friend who manages weddings and has seen their work a lot. I was assigned Alina and Marina for my wedding and they were incredible. The trial was easy and straightforward and I walked out with exactly what I wanted. On the wedding day they nailed both my hair and makeup and everything held up perfectly. They also did hair and makeup for my two bridesmaids, my mom, and my stepmom. Everyone looked great and felt comfortable, and they handled their very specific preferences without any issues. The whole team was professional, organized, and the studio itself is really pretty and welcoming. Highly recommend this vendor. -

I couldn’t have asked for a better hair and makeup team for my wedding day! They arrived right on time, were so professional and friendly, and kept everything running smoothly according to our schedule. After my trial, I requested a few changes to my look, and they took my feedback perfectly, the final result was exactly what I envisioned. On the wedding day, they flawlessly recreated the styles for both myself and my bridal party, perfectly matching the inspiration photos we had shared.
I received countless compliments on my hair and makeup, and both lasted beautifully through the entire day and night. I am so grateful for their talent, professionalism, and attention to detail. I would highly recommend them to anyone seeking a reliable and skilled beauty team for their wedding. -

Highly Recommend!
I booked MAB team for my wedding day for both myself and my wedding party! I couldn't be happier with how everyone's hair and makeup turned out. From the beginning process of booking with their company all the way up to wedding day morning they were overly flexible, friendly, professional and a fun group to work with! I had a large wedding party with a short getting ready timeframe and without hesitation the MAB team were ready and eager to make it all work for me! I had the privilege of working with Ester, Norma and Marina for hair and Shirley and Ayrehl for makeup. They all did an excellent job and I would highly recommend MAB company to any future bride! -

I got married on 10/5/25 and had the pleasure of working with Lexi, Nour and Lucy for hair and makeup services for the bride, bridesmaids and MOB/MOG, They all did a wonderful job and were fun and professional! They are all clearly experts at their art and were so nice. I would definitely recommend MAB and hire them again for future events! -

Laura Sent on 09/13/2025Absolutely Astounding Work!
Makeup by Ana B (or MAB) was completely worth the money. Cynthia and Gabby were absolutely great at bringing together the look I wanted for the wedding, and did a fabulous job on my bridesmaids' and husband's groomsmaiden's makeup and hair. I was particularly in love with my hair, but the makeup job made me feel like a princess. If you are looking to get makeup done, go here. -

Missy Sent on 09/12/2025Hire Makeup by Ana B!
If you're looking for hair and makeup services for your wedding, hire Makeup by Ana B (MAB Artistry) ASAP! I used their services for my bridal hair and makeup, as well as hair and makeup for six bridesmaids, and makeup for my mom and my mother-in-law and I cannot recommend them enough!
Ebonie did our makeup, Esme did our hair, and Lucy joined to help with both hair and makeup and all three were incredible! Every single member of our bridal party looked stunning and our hair and makeup lasted loooong into the night. We started around 8:30 AM and the night ended around 1:30 AM and everyone still looked flawless.
It was very important to me to find a vendor who could work with various skin tones and hair textures, and Ebonie, Esme, and Lucy hit it out of the park! My mom and MIL were also little nervous about getting their makeup done (will it be too heavy? Will it look ok on "old skin?" etc) and both of them were also extremey happy!
From our very first exchange, Monica and the admin team were really clear about their pricing, the services they offered, and helpful in determing the amount of time we needed for such a large group. They were also extremely helpful in scheduling two different trials (one hair/makeup and a second makeup trial).
I cannot recommend MAB Artistry enough! -

Sandra Sent on 08/22/2025Wonderful experience - Highly recommend!
I had MAB Artistry for our hair and makeup for our wedding in July and had the best experience! Our team was Lexi for hair, Mong for makeup, and Arlinde for both. They took care of me, 6 other women, and 2 little flower girls. They arrived early, stayed on schedule, and we even finished ahead of time. Everyone looked beautiful, and the hair and makeup lasted on a hot mid-summer day all the way through the evening (even with a little rain!). They made the morning stress-free, fun, and easy. I can’t recommend MAB—and especially Lexi, Mong, and Arlinde—enough. -

Emma Sent on 08/12/2025Talented, Organized, and Truly Caring Artists
I cannot recommend MAB Artistry enough! From the very first email, their communication was top-notch — swift, detailed, and so reassuring. They had their own organized timeline for updates, which kept me stress-free and confident throughout the process.
When I visited their gorgeous studio for my trial, Tanya (makeup), Stefani (hair), and Lucy (MUA) were incredibly communicative, making sure I got a look that suited my personal style and needs. They listened to my vision, gave helpful suggestions, and adapted everything perfectly.
On my wedding day, they arrived on time, brought such a calm and friendly energy, and made everyone — from bridesmaids to flower girls — feel comfortable and beautiful. I was so impressed by their ability to adapt to different ages, skin tones, hair types, and personal preferences. They nailed every single look while making sure it truly suited the person wearing it.
I felt so beautiful and confident walking down the aisle, and my bridal party could not stop raving about how good they felt. Tanya, Stefani, and Lucy are true professionals and artists. If you want a team who is organized, communicative, talented, and makes you feel like your best self, MAB Artistry is the one.

Amanda Sent on 07/16/2025Review for Makeup by Ana B Artists, Jessica and Norma
After a disappointing trial at another company, I decided to hire Jessica (Makeup) and Norma (Hair) for my wedding on June 29th, and I couldn't have been happier with my choice. From the very start, they were both incredibly warm and welcoming during my trial in March. We worked together to set a baseline, with the understanding that we could make adjustments on the big day.
On the wedding day, they arrived right on time, set up quickly, and were ready to go. They flawlessly styled 4 bridesmaids and 2 mothers, all of whom came in with very little idea of what they wanted. Jessica and Norma worked their magic, ensuring that everyone looked stunning.
As the bride, I was especially impressed by how both Jessica and Norma took the time to understand and respect my vision. They were attentive to my ideas and boundaries, ensuring I felt comfortable and beautiful. They also stuck to the schedule, which made my planner incredibly happy, and had us all ready to go in the sweltering heat.
The whole experience was so worth the investment, and I truly wish they could do our glam every day! I will absolutely be hiring them again for any future hair and makeup needs.
Thank you, Jessica and Norma, for making my day so special! -

The team was timely, professional, and a joy to work with. Jessica and Lexi were incredible—I felt so beautiful on my wedding day, and my hair and makeup lasted perfectly through dancing and happy tears. All of my bridesmaids looked stunning and loved their hair and makeup too. Jessica, Lexi, and the entire team were calming, kind, and unbelievably talented. I can’t recommend them enough! -

The Dream Team
I cannot thank Jessica and Norma enough for making me feel like the most beautiful version of myself on my wedding day. From the moment we connected, they were warm, professional, and completely attentive to my vision. They took the time to really understand my style, and the trial run made me feel so confident going into the big day.
On the wedding morning, they brought such a calming, positive energy—it felt like having two more friends in the room! My makeup lasted all day and night (even through happy tears and dancing), and my hair stayed flawless without needing a single touch-up. I’ve never felt more confident or radiant.
What truly stood out was their attention to detail and how effortlessly they worked under pressure and time constraints. They also did hair and makeup for my bridal party, mother and MIL, and everyone looked stunning and felt so pampered.
If you’re looking for someone who is incredibly talented, reliable, and truly passionate about their craft, look no further. I’m so grateful to have had them as part of my special day. 10/10 recommend! -

Terri Sent on 06/23/2025Flawless Hair & Makeup – Made Everyone Feel Amazing!
I cannot recommend Makeup by Ana B highly enough! From the trial to the wedding day, they were incredibly professional, warm, and so talented.
On the big day, they arrived early, stayed perfectly on schedule, and made the entire experience relaxing and fun—not just for my daughter, but for my whole bridal party. Everyone looked absolutely gorgeous and felt confident all night long. The hair and makeup lasted through happy tears, dancing, and hours of celebration without needing a single touch-up!
What stood out most was how calming and kind the artists were - exactly the energy you want around you the morning of your wedding. Their talent is undeniable, but it’s their care and professionalism that truly make them a dream to work with. Special shout out to Lexi (@lexinicoletteglam) and Shirley (@sbellabeauty_artistry) who were the lead hair and make-up artists and did an amazing job!
Thank you for making my daughter and our family feel so beautiful on one of the most important days of our lives.

Katie Sent on 06/15/2025MAB team is the best!
I worked with the MAB team for my May 2025 wedding and couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out. Lucy (makeup) and Uzma (hair) are true professionals and made me feel so special. They were so easy to work with for the trial and my wedding day turned out even better than the trial did. I had 7 bridesmaids + my mom get their hair and makeup done (s/o to Katy for assisting with makeup), and their schedule and timing fit perfectly with the wedding timeline that we even had time to spare after everything. They were on time and super professional and fun. All my bridesmaids looked amazing and everything stayed on and up all night. I couldn’t recommend MAB more, especially Lucy and Uzma. Thank you for making my wedding vision come true! -

I used Lexi, Shirley, and Maria for hair and makeup on my wedding day, and could not have been happier with all of them! All of my bridesmaids and moms loved their hair and makeup - everyone looked like their best selves, and they helped to create such a fun and relaxing wedding morning while we were all getting ready! My half-up hair style lasted all night, even with humidity/rain outside, and my makeup stayed even with many many happy tears! They were the perfect team. -

Rebecca Sent on 03/22/2025Alina and Marina made my wedding dreams come true
Alina, Marina, and Stefani were absolutely incredible! They did hair and makeup for me, my bridal party, and the mothers of the bride and groom. Everyone was SO happy with how they looked — I truly couldn’t have felt more beautiful on my wedding day.
I’m someone who knows exactly what I like and, to be honest, I’ve never really loved makeup done by someone else. But Alina was AMAZING. From the trial to the big day, she completely understood my vision, made me feel heard, and somehow read my mind to create a look that felt perfectly me (a very hard task).
Marina made magic happen with my hair - giving me a beautiful updo that stayed all night long - everything turned out so perfect. And Stefani worked her magic on my bridesmaids and the results were flawless across the board. The whole team was professional, calming, and just lovely to be around.
If you want to feel confident, radiant, and truly yourself on your wedding day, look no further — these ladies are the best of the best. -

Amazing experience with MAB!
Working with MAB was a dream. Their customer service was exactly what you would hope for when it's something so important. Initially, there was a bit of a communication disconnect regarding how I wanted my hair and makeup to look. However, the team promptly addressed my concerns and ensured that I was 100% happy with my hair and makeup ahead of my big day. This was a huge relief and a testament to the company’s overall quality.
On the day of the event, the team was exceptional—punctual and efficient—and they made us all feel beautiful. I also want to note that they did an amazing job with hair and makeup for more mature clients, and everyone left feeling absolutely satisfied and gorgeous.
Thank you so much for your support and hard work, MAB! I hope to take a makeup class in the future so I can be even a fraction as talented as your makeup artists! -

K W Sent on 01/30/2025Best hair and makeup! From a very picky bride :)
I was very picky about my wedding hair and makeup. I am 38 so my skin is more mature and I wanted the perfect balance between soft glam and natural. I wanted to look like myself. I had had a terrible professional makeup experience in the past so I trialed 3 different HMU vendors for my wedding. MAB stood out by far! Mindy did my hair and Hala did my makeup. I cannot say enough good things about them. They are warm and relatable, extremely talented, timely, and listen to your vision. They do customized hair/makeup - so many artists just recreate the same look over and over. My entire bridal party looked absolutely beautiful. I even struggle with dry skin and foundation looks terrible - Hala gave me suggestions to change my routine leading up to the wedding and used a tinted moisturizer instead of a foundation. It was perfect. My husband even said it looked amazing and he usually prefers me without much makeup on. I am so very happy about how great this experience was! -

My perfect bridal look!
Ana M (makeup) and Esme (hair) did a phenomenal job. In my normal life I don't do much with my hair or make-up so I was really concerned I wouldn't know how to explain what I wanted or explain if I didn't like something at my trial, but both of them made it so easy! They talked with me about what I liked in my inspiration photos and made it work for me. For example, my hair wasn't long enough for a lot of styles I'd pinned and I didn't want extensions, but Esme was able to figure out what I liked about those styles and adapt that to something possible for my hair length. They made all of us look gorgeous on my wedding day! We got ready morning of at the MAB studio in Vienna, which I'd definitely recommend if your venue (like mine) doesn't have a great getting ready space; the studio is light, comfortable, and made for great getting ready photos!

Kyra Sent on 11/12/2024Incredible wedding day hair and makeup experience
I worked with Uzma and Cynthia from MAB for my wedding. They did hair and makeup for my full bridal party (myself + 5 bridesmaids), and were absolutely incredible!!! Everyone had different hair/makeup styles they wanted, and Cynthia and Uzma did every one perfectly. Not only that, but they were so fantastic to have with us in the bridal cottage throughout the morning! They spent ~5 hours with us, so it was so wonderful to have such fun and lovely hair and makeup artists! Additionally, they were so helpful with advice during my hair & makeup trial, and asked for feedback each time to make sure that I felt my best going into the wedding day. I would absolutely recommend MAB for anyone getting married! -

Laura Sent on 10/26/2024Best wedding hair team ever!
I just have to give a huge shoutout to my incredible wedding hair team, Lexi and Katoya! They were the absolute dream team and did an incredible job on everyone's hair. Their talent, professionalism, and fun personalities brought such great vibes to my wedding morning!
I want to especially highlight Lexi—she did my bridal shower hair, my rehearsal hair, and my wedding hair! Her sweet energy made the experience even more special, and she absolutely blew me away with her expert-level skills. She created the most gorgeous looks for me: a stunning half up, an elegant updo, and beautiful curls down. Each style surpassed my expectations!!!
I feel so lucky that Lexi was part of my wedding journey. Everything turned out beyond my wildest dreams! If you're looking for wedding hair services, I highly recommend MAB Artistry, especially Lexi. She is a true hair superstar!!!! 🌟 -

Daniela Sent on 09/22/2024Stunning work & incredible experience
I was thrilled with how the hair and makeup turned out by Esme and Bianca Lara for me and my bridal party at my May 2024 Indian fusion wedding. Something that was incredibly important to me when deciding on a HMU team was finding artists that were well experienced with a variety of hair textures and skin tones. Esme and Bianca absolutely killed it while doing a variety of different looks/styles. Esme also did dupatta pinning and draping for me which I was really stressed about (it was a really heavy dupatta), and she did an A+ job with it.
I could not have felt more beautiful for my Sangeet and wedding day, and I know everyone else was also very happy. -

Maura Sent on 09/17/2024What a Team!
Nour, Stefani, Alicia and Melanee showed up to do hair and make up for 8 of us in or attending a family wedding. They tackled a wide range of hair types (from short to long, super straight to curly) and age ranges from 20 to 61 in about 5 hours. No one had had a trial, and yet everyone was thrilled with the outcome. The team did an incredible job of bonding with all of us even posing for pictures with all of us! We loved the results and every minute of the process. There was no crying or sneaking away for redos. Everyone looked the way they wanted and was happy with new styling or makeup tips! Thank you for making us look terrific!

Ana and Norma did the most incredible hair and makeup for myself and my bridal party!! I could not have been happier with my makeup and one of my bridesmaids told me it was her best experience ever having her hair and makeup done.

Amazing Make Up Artist and Hair Stylist
Such an incredible choice for hair and make up. I would recommend MAB 1000 million percent. The photos came out gorgeous. I felt so comfortable in the hair and make up that was done. It lasted all day and into the night. Shirley and Esther were absolutely fantastic people. I got exactly what I envisioned without feeling caked with make up or overwhelmed by the humidity. I just cannot express what an amazing vendor choice this was. Thank you so incredibly much. -

I worked with Stefani to have hair done for my wedding and she did an incredible job. I had a trial with her and she completely understood the look I was going for even though the photos I had found were not quite on point. She was able to replicate the look exactly on my wedding day, and made my hair stay put even in the heat and humidity of the DC summer. My bridesmaids and mom were also very happy with how their hair turned out and how well it held throughout the whole day. I highly recommend Stefani and would work with her again if I needed my hair done for another event! -

So happy with the results!
I was so happy with how the hair and makeup turned out for me and my bridal party at my May 2024 wedding in Leesburg! MAB was a great choice for their experience, professionalism, and ease of booking and communication through the whole process. All three artists from MAB -- Esme for hair, Nour for makeup, and Leslie for both -- were outstanding in their skill and attention to detail, consideration in listening to what each of my ladies asked for, and joy that they brought to the day! Esme and Nour were fantastic in taking on board how I wanted to make adjustments following my trial, and I couldn’t have felt more beautiful. My mom was nervous about getting her makeup professionally done and not having it look heavy or cakey after a bad previous experience, and I was so grateful to Nour for working with her to make her feel beautiful and like herself! -

I am so happy we chose to work with MAB on my wedding day! We had Amy, Melissa, Claribell and Annette for both hair and makeup. I cannot say enough good things about all four ladies! We had a large bridal party including flower girls and both mother of bride and groom. We were on schedule, if not ahead of schedule, all day and everyone's hair and makeup looked stunning!

Perfect & made me feel beautiful
I had a phenomenal experience working with MAB. The booking process was so easy, the bridal trial was perfect (a must!) and very convenient to plan with the artists/stylists; I loved not having to worry about the day-of timeline, AND the artists/stylists (Bianca, Melissa, and Norma) all showed up early, which really eased my nerves. They are so lovely and so very talented, really able to hit the mark with what I and each of my ladies asked for, and they worked way ahead of schedule so we could all enjoy a little more time hanging out before getting dressed. For me, my hair was exactly what I imagined thanks to Melissa and my makeup made me feel so beautiful (and lasted alllll night, even the lashes!) thanks to Bianca! I am absolutely obsessed with how it turned out and got so many compliments, especially from my groom! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Perfect!!!
Bianca, Esme, and Isabela did AMAZING jobs! The moms, bridesmaids, and I all got our hair and make up done, and everybody LOVED how they looked. None of us were used to professional hair and makeup, and we all preferred more natural looks. The team delivered!! We all felt so confident, and the team really worked hard to ensure we looked and felt our best. The process was so fun, and Esme even stayed later to ensure my hairstyle stayed up throughout the entire night (it did!). It was 95 degrees, and a lot of us sweat and cried throughout the night, and the makeup was still PERFECT by 11 PM! I was so impressed with their work, and I highly recommend Makeup by Ana B :) -

Amanda Sent on 09/08/2023Wow, they are amazing!
MAB team was the best decision for my wedding day! Stop what your doing and book them! I was very hesitate to hire professionals for my hair and make up as I do not wear a lot of make-up daily. MAB listened to me from the start that I wanted a minimal but classic look for my day, they trailed me with artist who could achieve this look flawlessly.
My wedding day timeline ran behind as does every brides, I had no time to really look at myself in the mirror but I was not worried as I trusted Shirley and Esme from my trail with them.
Looking back on my wedding photos I felt and looked amazing!
Bridesmaids were also very happy!
MAB is worth the book! They will listen to what YOU want for yourself on your day and ensure the artist you trail with is able to achieve this look. -

Great experience!
I chose to go with MAB artistry for hair for all of my girls. Uzma and Norma were our artists, and Norma did my bridal hair. They both rocked it!
Norma was amazing! She did such beautiful work. For my trial, she took the time to make sure it was what I really wanted and shared her professional opinion when I asked for it, which was helpful. She is so sweet and was super flexible. The style was even more beautiful on the wedding day and was just what I wanted!
Uzma and Norma both did beautiful work for all of my girls and my mom. I was so concerned about timing - we had to start getting ready at 6:30 and didn't have a ton of time as our wedding events began early - and they breezed through everyone, taking no more than 30 minutes a girl, regardless of how long or thick their hair was.
In general, MAB Artistry was great to work with. They were super responsive and communicative, organized with deadlines and contract, and really worked with my needs when I had to change the number of services due to bridal party changes. They are a bit on the pricey side, in my opinion, compared to some other artists, but because they bring multiple artists under one umbrella company it was a lot smoother than hiring multiple different artists and they did such a great job that it was well worth it! I'd totally recommend MAB, and Norma and Uzma specifically! -

Jasmine and Mong were my hair and makeup gals and they both did an incredible job with my party of 7 people! I had trials with both of them and they really took notice of what to improve on after that day and delivered stunning looks for everyone. I really appreciated how patient they both were with people who wanted changes here and there. They didn't stop until everyone loved their looks. I got compliments on how good my makeup looked and how it wasn't overdone but still looked made up. My hair was exactly what I wanted - an elegant updo with flowers for a hot summer day! Thank you both! :) -

We worked with Jessica and Mong to do makeup for 12 people the morning of our wedding and working with MAB was such a breeze. I had been following them on Instagram for a while and was really happy we were able to book them for our wedding. I got into an accident about 2 weeks before my wedding leaving me with a large wound in my chin that needed stiches and was very visible as well as a lot of other small abrasions on my shoulders that was very stressful to deal with right before our wedding. I had emailed MAB to let them know and they were so comforting and assured me that it wouldn't be a problem and they would be prepared for whatever they had to help cover and I was shocked at how well Jessica covered it. You couldn't see the scar at all and I felt super confident and my makeup didn't budge the entire night. They were organized, sent us a schedule for timing and kept everyone on track the whole morning. Would definitely recommend them to anybody in the dmv area. -

MAB is the absolute best -- in terms of communication, coordination, and quality of their work, they're a huge cut above. Thank you to Esme and Norma in particular for making our special day so wonderful. My mother, my mother in law, and I were all so incredibly pleased. They are both exceptional! The hair and makeup services they provided were truly impeccable. -

MAB's hair and makeup artists are truly amazing, and it was so easy to work with the company to determine availability and go through the planning process, as they're extremely organized and responsive.
The artists I worked with were Martha for my makeup and my family members' makeup, Uzma for my hair and my family members' hair, and Tanya for my friends' makeup - and all three were so kind and incredibly talented. I went into my trial with a general idea of what I wanted, and when I mentioned tweaks to Martha and Uzma for the day-of, they were very receptive and understood completely, turning the vision into reality.
MAB created a timeline for me and it made the day-of go SO smoothly - if anything, we finished ahead of time (which, having participated in several weddings, is rare!). It was also just such a joy having Martha, Uzma, and Tanya with us to get ready. They put everyone and ease and were just so fun to spend time with.
I can't emphasize enough how beautiful I felt and how perfectly my hair and makeup turned out - and it all lasted through a very warm September ceremony and LOTS of intense dancing. I highly recommend the team at MAB Artistry for event hair and makeup - especially Martha, Uzma, and Tanya! -

I am sooo happy I hired MAB for my wedding! I had a large group of women for hair and makeup (9 bridesmaids + my mom + my MIL + me (bride)!) and they made everyone look AMAZING. My friends kept commenting on how good they looked/felt, which made me so happy. Cori, Hala, Bianca M, and Karina were fantastic and kept us right on schedule. I recommend MAB 100% - they are the best! -

Becca Sent on 01/18/2023MAB is the best! Gorgeous HMU work and great customer service.
Working with MAB was a great experience from start to finish! Their office/administrative staff was extremely organized and communicative, and I never had to worry about my appointments, timeline, contract specificities, etc. I was able to flexibly schedule a hair and makeup trial at their beautiful studio, and they made sure to spend lots of time with me talking through what I wanted and then discussing my feedback. I was indecisive about how I wanted to do my hair, and they accommodated me to schedule multiple trials, even just a few weeks before my wedding. I had 11 women getting hair and makeup done for my wedding, and the team arrived early/on-time, worked through everyone efficiently, and made us all feel so relaxed and glamorous on wedding day. They preemptively scheduled in touch-up time in our day-of schedule. I got a ton of compliments on how beautiful everyone's hair and makeup were. These artists are truly the best of the best--so talented and such great judgment about how to make everyone's natural beauty shine through. Thank you, Bianca, Esme, Norma, and Shirley! -

MAB is the BEST! I debated HMUAs for my wedding since I love a voluminous hairstyle and classic makeup– I LOVED that MAB offered such a seamless package and range of artists– all in one place!!! Their booking process is smooth, and their organization is top notch. Their team sent a questionnaire and schedule for the day, taking all the guesswork out of our timeline. I did a pre-wedding facial with Bianca, which was everything my skin needed before the wedding. I also did a makeup and hair trial, and despite my indecisiveness during the trial, Melissa listened to any changes I desired and boy did she DELIVER on the big day!! Hala did my bridal makeup, Melissa did bridal hair, and Norma, Hala, and Melissa tagged teamed the Bridesmaids, mother of bride and groom! They did a FANTASTIC job!!! I could not have felt more beautiful, and I received so many compliments about how natural and stunning my soft glam look was! Their demeanor is calming, and they were such a welcome presence on the morning of our wedding day. I HIGHLY recommend the team at MAB Artistry for any special event or beauty needs, and special shoutouts to Hala and Melissa for making me feel like a true princess that day! You will not regret having them as your glam squad!! -

Carole Sent on 11/07/2022Great tips for making sure my hair & makeup lasted all day!
My hair and makeup were perfect for my wedding day! Not only did my hair and makeup look perfect but my bridesmaids and family members looked amazing as well. They focused on everyone's natural beauty! They came by our hotel suite to do everyone's hair and makeup, not only were they on time but they finished early!
I went before for a trial run and my hair stylist gave me a great tip for my rehearsal dinner by going to dry bar for a blow out so my hair was clean and pre-styled for the wedding day! It helped my fine straight hair last all day for the wedding!

I cannot recommend Bianca for makeup and Jasmine for hair from the MAB team. Bianca was so sweet and answered all of my questions before the wedding over text. I loved my makeup she did at the trial but the makeup done on my wedding day was on another level. I have never felt so beautiful and I usually do not like when my makeup is professionally done. Bianca is the best!
My hair also looked so perfect thanks to Jasmine. I got a million compliments on my hair- she did a fantastic job. I can't recommend these two enough for your wedding hair and makeup. -

I had a wonderful experience using MAB Beauty! Cori and Suz are super talented and everyone in my bridal party (my mother and 4 bridesmaids) looked absolutely stunning the day of the wedding. As the bride, I received so many compliments on my hair and makeup and it lasted the entire day – I was especially impressed with how beautiful Cori made my hair look with my intricate headpiece! I cannot say enough great things about Cori and Suz and how talented they are. I would highly recommend them and the MAB beauty team to future brides! -

We hired Tanya from Makeup by Ana B to do makeup for all of my bridesmaids. From start to finish, Tanya was highly professional, warm, and fun to work with. But most of all, we loved Tanya's amazing talent with makeup! All of the bridesmaids looked phenomenal, and Tanya did a great job listening to what each woman was looking for while creating a cohesive look for the entire wedding party. I would highly recommend Tanya! -

The Makeup by Ana B team is the best in the business. They are so talented and really listened to everyone's vision for their hair and makeup. They were kind and flexible when we had to reschedule twice. I used Hala for makeup and Cori for hair and could not have loved them more. -

Review for Jessica/makeup-
I cannot express enough how much I loved Jessica's makeup skills and talent. I had the pleasure of having her do my makeup for my rehearsal dinner and my wedding day. She was the perfect combination of talent, kindness, patience, and making my vision come alive. I am beyond grateful that I got to work with Jessica. To be so blunt - I am picky with makeup and have a very high standard since I have significant experience getting my makeup done professionally many, many times over the years. I can confidently say that Jessica has inspired me to be a lifelong customer just based on her talent.
Review for Mindy/hair-
Mindy did my hair for my wedding day. She was also wonderful to work with and provided the loose/glamour curl look I desired. She was so sweet to work with and worked incredibly hard to make sure that I was happy and my look was achieved. I cannot recommend Mindy enough. -

MAB was a dream to work with on my wedding day! Uzma did my trial and day-of hair. She helped finalize the style I wanted based off of inspiration pics, found extensions that matched my hair color, and executed everyone's hair perfectly on the big day. She provided instructions for how to prep our hair and answered all of our questions. MAB's admin team was also great to work with and confirmed all necessary details, including the day-of hair schedule for the bridal party. All of my bridesmaids and MOB/MOG had their hair done, and everyone looked great! -

I had a wonderful experience with the Makeup by Ana B. team - Tanya (makeup) and Uzma (hair) did an incredible job on my wedding day. Uzma in particular went above and beyond as I had two looks for my hair that day, both of which turned out amazing. And both my hair and makeup lasted from morning til late at night, dance party-ing and all! My bridal party also looked beautiful, we couldn't have been happier with how our looks turned out and we got a lot of compliments! I don't think you can go wrong with any of their artists! -

I'm so glad I chose Makeup by Ana B for our wedding. They were responsive, professional, and talented. Cori (hair) and Tanya (makeup) made me feel like my best self and the wedding day hair/makeup was identical to what I loved at the trial. All of the bridesmaids, etc. felt beautiful and the artists really listened to what each individual wanted. I would recommend them to anyone! -

My bridal party, moms and I were thrilled with how our hair and makeup turned out. Bianca, Cori and Luci were so kind, prompt and professional while getting us ready. They kept us on schedule and made us all feel beautiful and ready to take on the day! I also really appreciated your office staff. When I had to postpone, Monica was so easy to work with and made the whole process seamless. It could have been really stressful but it wasn't, at all. So thank you to your excellent team. I was very impressed with the whole experience. -

My artists for my wedding day were Mindy (hair) and Bianca (makeup), and I couldn't be happier with them! They both were lovely, kind, professional and made me feel so beautiful on my special day. They worked with me and my bridesmaids, listened to our feedback, and happily made adjustments until everyone was thrilled with their final look. I loved my trial too, which was great to get to meet the ladies beforehand. The staff at MAB is very friendly, responsive and easy to work with. A great price and a favorite business among me and many fellow Virginia brides. Cannot recommend them enough!!! -

Perfect Hair and Makeup
I had the best experiences with my hair and makeup artists from Makeup By Ana B! Lexi did my hair and took a lot of time during my trial to listen to what I wanted. My wedding day hair was perfect and lasted all night! Bianca did my makeup and I was in awe of how beautiful she made me look! It was the perfect amount of makeup to last all night and show up in photos but I never felt like I had a ton of makeup on. Working with these two ladies was a dream and I would highly recommend! -

Flawless Looks
Mindy and Bianca were our dream team! My bridesmaids and I don't wear a lot of make-up so we wanted a nice, natural look. Bianca definitely delivered and made sure that everyone's make-up was stunning. Mindy was a wizard with hair. One or two photos and she knew exactly what my bridesmaids wanted. My girls and I all felt flawless and happy with our looks and it really came through in the photos. Everyone looked stunning! In addition to the hair and make-up skills, Mindy and Bianca were both incredibly prompt, professional, and fun to work with. I can't recommend either of them enough. -

I hired MAB for my wedding in September 2021. Everyone was so professional and I was very satisfied with everything from the logistics to execution of hair and makeup. I hired them to do the bridesmaid hair and makeup, and all of my friends looked so beautiful! A few days before my wedding, I wanted to add the flower girl and junior bridesmaid to the rotation and they worked with me to make sure they could make it work! It was such a great experience, and I definitely would hire them again if I had the chance to! -

Overall I had a great experience with the MAB Team. There were some last minute changes that were handled wonderfully and professionally. Cori was amazing on hair for myself and all of my girls and did a beautiful job on my make-up. My face withstood humidity, heat, and lots of tears! Soma was wonderful on make-up for my girls as well. -
