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! -

Working with Makeup by Ana B and their team was a wedding dream! From the trial to the big day, they made everything easy and beautiful. We especially loved working with Ebonie and Norma -- both of who brought a really great energy to our wedding day and were loved by the entire bridal party. MAB made us all feel beautiful and went above and beyond to make sure I felt good walking into my wedding! 10/10 would recommend them. -

Esme at the MAB studio brought my hair and makeup dreams to life. She is truly a master of her craft. I received numerous inquiries from guests about who did my makeup, which is always a good sign :)
Thank you, Esme! -

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!!!! 🌟 -

I just wanted to sincerely thank you all so much for Saturday! Everything was beautiful and we couldn't have done it without you. I also know it was chaotic with so many people in such a small space, so I really appreciate your flexibility on that front! -

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!

Carolyn Sent on 09/08/2024Amazing experience!!
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. Ana and Norma were also very patient and reassuring with my mother and mother-in-law. I particularly appreciated how accommodating Ana was, who worked hard to find the right makeup for my skin type and preferred color palette. 100/10 would recommend!! -

Marie Sent on 07/15/2024Amazing hair!
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! -

I loved working with MAB for my hair and makeup for my wedding. Lexi and Bianca were absolutely amazing and made me feel so great on my wedding day. I changed things up from my trial and they really listened to what I wanted. I also had a larger bridal party and the MAB team was punctual and made sure we stayed on track! -

Jordan Sent on 03/30/2024Incredible job!!
Everything from the first touch point to wedding day was flawless. Their team is incredible, so organized and one of my favorite vendors I worked with. The hair and make up day of on everyone was STUNNING, natural and perfect. I loved having hair and make up in one instead of booking 2 separate vendors. If you need hair and make up for wedding day or any other special life event, look no further! Cannot recommend enough -

Karen Sent on 11/19/2023Wow, just wow!
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! One bridesmaid even commented that she thought her makeup looked better that day than on her own wedding day. Our makeup and hair lasted all day and all night. I highly recommend MAB for your wedding! -

Emma Sent on 10/17/2023Perfect & 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!

Neha Sent on 10/15/2023The most incredible team!
We are so incredibly thankful for having the MAB team by our side on our wedding day. They were so incredibly flexible with all my million questions and requests. Lexi and Tanya did an absolutely stunning job on my hair and makeup and took all my thoughts into account to give me exactly what I was looking for! They were also amazing with my bridal party. At the last minute we made some changes that were throwing off our schedule for the day and their team continued to be beyond flexible and added another artist to our team. We are so glad to have gone with your team for our hair/makeup on the big day and we couldn't recommend you enough! -

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. -

Amruta Sent on 08/04/2023Beautiful hair and makeup for an Indian fusion wedding
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! :) -

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. -

Erin Sent on 04/09/2023Incredible Hair and Makeup Team!
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!
