Wedding Hair and Makeup Artist
Nabia was quick with responses and very professional. With the trial she provided tips for care of extensions and skincare. I provided some feedback after trial and during wedding day she went above and beyond and made me feel like the most beautiful bride on planet earth. My makeup last from noon- 4 in the morning and hair was just as long with my bun not moving even after dancing all night long and riding a mechanical bull. She was so positive and really provided incredible services. Thank you so much Nabia !!! I definitely recommend.-

Recommend and would hire again
Nabia is a perfect mix of professionalism and friend. she is a true expert in her field and really made the day peaceful and enjoyable. I cannot stress enough how well she knows products, different skin types, how skin works in different weather, etc.
I would recommend her and would hire her again. -

Savannah Elopement
Due to a sudden change in our wedding venue, I booked Nabia for my elopement about two months before our wedding date. I was so worried that I wouldn't be able to find a bridal makeup artist in time, but fortunately I found Nabia through Google, and also, she was highly recommended by our wedding photographer, Esther Griffin.
Nabia's soft glam romantic style was absolutely perfect and exactly what I was looking for as I wear very little makeup normally and I wanted more of a Classic Hollywood Glamour look for my wedding day.
As I mentioned previously, since I wear very little makeup I was a little nervous as to how I would look at the end, so I highly suggest that if you are like me and are unsure as to how you will look like exactly makeup-wise, please do book a trial makeup preview for yourself because it helps to see as you are in the process if certain looks are your style or if you want to see a different look completely.
For example, it helped me with noticing things that needed improvement such as my combination skin. Overall, the makeup held up remarkably well for many hours, but because I have a very oily T-Zone I asked Nabia if she had anything that would help better seal the makeup but also provide a soft dewy / opalescent look because a lot of my wedding attire and accessories were iridescent. I also asked her to lengthen my eyebrows with an eyebrow pencil as I find they are too short for my naturally round face shape, and I also asked for a more dramatic lip color which ended up on a beautiful, deep plum.
On my wedding day, because of the trial, all of the makeup application was way less stressful, quick, and precisely what I wanted.
And additionally, as a testament to the quality of the products Nabia uses, it did first rain quite a bit in Savannah on our day, but then, it cleared up and honestly, you can't tell in my wedding photos because it stayed on flawlessly the entire day, which I was so incredibly grateful for!
Nabia also did my hair and used some extensions that I provided to give my natural shoulder-length hair a perfectly coiffed bridal hairstyle and not only could you not tell that they were extensions added, but she also pinned my veil so well that it did not budge one bit even though I was carrying a cathedral length veil everywhere to prevent it from getting too wet in the rain.
Nabia even helped me out with getting ready as I really could not have been able to get into my wedding dress all by myself without help and I will be forever grateful for her immense kindness and patience!
I can also say that I am so pleased with all of my beautiful wedding photos! And they are even more special because I don't normally take pictures.
Also, my husband was completely speechless when he first saw me, and it felt like he saw me all over again even though we have known each other for almost twenty years! You have no idea how profoundly moved I was, and it really was because of your hard work, so please accept my gratitude for this as well!
Thank you once again, Nabia, for all of your help, your kind words, and for helping me with my special day!
Please don't look further and don't hesitate to reach out to Nabia if you need someone to assist you in achieving your dream wedding look! Nabia is a consummate professional in both bridal makeup and bridal hairstyles and I can promise with complete confidence, you will not regret it and you will love the results! You will be in outstanding hands, I guarantee it!-

HMU Perfection
I can’t say enough amazing things about Nabia! She did my hair and makeup for my wedding and truly went above and beyond the entire day. She also did my makeup for my welcome party the night before, and I couldn’t have been happier with how it all turned out all weekend.
She’s not only extremely talented but also professional, kind, and such a calming presence to have around on a big day. I can’t recommend her enough and would to anyone in a heartbeat! -

Nabia is very talented!
Nabia was so amazing and made feel beautiful on my wedding day! She listened to my needs and worked with me to create my dream wedding look. The biggest pro of having Nabia as my wedding makeup artist is that she didn't change how I look, but instead, she enhanced my features and made me look and feel like an elevated version of myself! She is extremely talented and knowledgeable and I recommend her to anyone looking for a makeup artist that knows what she is doing! -

I didn’t know I could look this good
Confession - I’ve only had my makeup done one time before in my life. When Nabia did my make up yesterday morning, I couldn’t stop looking in the mirror. These photos are unfiltered. My photos turned out gorgeous and I’ve signed up for make up lessons with her so that I can re-create this look anytime I want. -

Maid of Honor makeup
Nabia was very thorough with her makeup process. She really analyzed my skin and facial structure, which helped give me the best look for the wedding. I would definitely reccommend! -

Professional Makeup
Absolutely thrilled with my bridal makeup and hair! Nabia truly made me feel like a princess on my special day. The look was flawless, natural, and lasted perfectly through hours of photos, dancing, and even a few happy tears. Not only is she incredibly talented, but her warm and positive energy made the getting-ready process so enjoyable and stress-free. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend her to any bride-to-be looking for stunning results! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ -

Amazing Work!
Nabia is very professional and knowledgeable with her work. She completely transformed my look! I loved my little hair bun she did, it was so cute. I told her she made me look like an Arabian princess. I am already looking forward to getting my hair and makeup done with her again! -

Flawless Wedding Hair and Makeup: A Bride's Dream Come True!
I recently had the pleasure of using Nabia Beauty for my wedding hair and makeup, and I couldn't be happier with the results! From start to finish, the experience was exceptional.
Firstly, punctuality is key for any bride on her big day, and Nabia was right on time. Her communication throughout the day was fantastic, which really put my mind at ease.
One thing that stood out was their organization and attention to detail. Nabia created a timeline that ensured a smooth transition between myself and my bridesmaids, making the morning stress-free and enjoyable.
Now, onto the main event – the hair and makeup! I can't express how thrilled I was with the results. The makeup was absolutely stunning and made me feel like a bride Barbie! It perfectly complemented my features and lasted throughout the entire wedding day and night.
Not only was the makeup flawless, but the hair was equally as impressive. It held up beautifully, even through hours of dancing and celebrating.
Overall, I couldn't have asked for a better experience with Nabia. She exceeded my expectations in every way, and I would highly recommend her to any bride-to-be looking for top-notch hair and makeup services for their special day.

Amazing!
Nabia saved my wedding day!!!! The original make up artist that I had done a trial with and had booked for my wedding day no showed me and wouldn’t answer any of my calls on the day of my wedding. My wedding planner called Nabia and, although she only had a couple hours in between other wedding parties that she was doing, she came and did my mom, aunt, and I’s make up for us. I explained what I wanted and she exceeded my expectations by FAR. She gave me just the right amount of “glam” while still looking like my every day self plus she was so super nice and easy to work with. I would recommend her to anyone in need of make up or hair! -

Fusion Wedding
My husband and I got married three weeks ago in Savannah, and we live in Tampa. I had found Nabia through Instagram, and I am so glad I did! I didn’t get a trial way before my wedding week, I actually had a trial the day before our Hindu wedding. We had a mendhi night, a Hindu ceremony and a Catholic ceremony. Nabia did a fantastic job with my makeup and hair, and had a team that did an incredible job for makeup and hair for my mom, bridesmaids, and sister of the groom. When we did have an issue, Nabia was able to take care of it immediately. I would hire her again and again to do my hair and makeup. My makeup never felt heavy and stayed on for 12+ hours! I got so many compliments throughout the week on both hair and makeup. -

Best hair and makeup artist ever!
I can’t say enough wonderful things about Nabia. Her skills, efficiency and professionalism are second to none. Plus the products she uses are all top of the line. She even gave me my own lip color for touch ups throughout the day :)
I had to put my wedding together in 2 weeks. Rather than laugh at my request for her services she was beyond helpful. She took the time to discuss my goals and expectations in order to avoid any miscommunication on my wedding day.
And wowwwwww! I’ve never felt more beautiful!!! My makeup was still pristine late into night. I would highly recommend Nabia and use her for another special occasion in a heartbeat! -

Simply The Best
I cannot say enough good things about Nabia. She was a gem from the beginning and with planning from afar it is hard to know who to trust. She was always responsive, listened to what I wanted, and did a phenomenal job. My bridesmaids and my mom all loved her. She made me look jaw dropping and I wish I had her around to do my hair and makeup everyday. I would give her 100 stars if I could! -

I cannot say enough good things about Nabia! She was absolutely AMAZING! I had forgotten my veil and she went all out of her way to make sure I had one for my big day (even though she did not have to). She was so sweet and made me look BEAUTIFUL! I will definitely be recommending her to everyone I know who needs their hair and make up done!!! -

I was a bride in October of 2020 and Bia was my makeup and hair artist for myself as well as 8 bridesmaids! She did a fantastic job!!
Bia was so on top of her game! She was right on time and got to work immediately. She finished with plenty of time for all of us to have plenty of time with the wedding photographer. Bia did a fantastic job and all of my bridesmaids looked beautiful. I also could not have been happier with my makeup and the overall experience of having her on my wedding day team! She made me feel like each detail was covered and I had no worries in the world! She also got a long really well with all of the other team members which was very important to me. I would recommend Bias services over anyone else! -

Professional and Highly Talented
Nabia, thank you SO much for your impeccable talent as hair and makeup artist for my special day! As a chef, I am not really a “girly-girl”, so to sit in a chair for a period of beauty work was a bit unusual for me, but Nabia made the magic happen! Her advice and results were spot-on, I LOVE how the wedding video and photos turned out! I highly recommend her, not only for her artistry, but was timely and professional, her personality is a delight to work with! Highly recommend!!! -

Makeup only
The first and second photos are from a wedding that I was a bridesmaid in. Nabia Beaty only did the makeup on the bride. The bridesmaids had to have the bride's regular hairstylist "fix" all of our hair from Nabia Beauty before the professional photos were taken because it was absolutely not worth the $185 that we paid for hair and makeup. The girls were nice, but keep in mind that only the makeup in the first 2 photos is actually done by them, not the hair. -

Poor time management
I had my hair and makeup done by Nabia Beauty for my sister’s wedding in October, and it was a disappointment. From the moment they arrived we were rushed. As MOH they told me to alert everyone to show up much earlier than their previously scheduled times (a schedule that THEY sent us). I found out while I was getting my makeup done that they had a wedding before us so they were up at 4am, came to us, and then had another wedding after us which is where they were rushing to. On top of that, they clearly were frustrated and tired and the generalize attitude was unhappy to be there, they were awkward to be around to be honest. Safe to say they spent half the allotted time on each of us for makeup and it was visible. As a result we were all ready 2 hours before we were supposed to be (the photographer hadn't even arrived yet) and just sat around removing excess product, fixing lashes, repining hair etc. I got married last year and the difference between the two makeup/hair companies was dramatic in terms of quality, professionalism and time management. I would not recommend. -
