    Wedding Trial

    This is only from my trial but Jessica and Stefani did my hair and makeup and it was an absolute perfect experience that has made me so relieved and excited about my wedding day!! They made the entire experience completely stress free, were extremely receptive to any changes/comments I had and followed inspo pics to the tee. Very excited for the wedding day and highly recommend them!

    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!

    Could not recommend them enough!

    Ana and Martha from Makeup by Ana B were absolutely perfect; not only did they do an incredible job on hair and makeup, they really listened to everyone's personal preferences and executed the looks perfectly. They were a joy to be around the morning of my wedding and helped make me feel calm when my nerves were running high with day-of jitters. Could not recommend them enough!

    Amazing hair & makeup team

    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!

    Incredible quality, professionalism, and kindness

    I want to first shout out Makeup by Ana B and the whole team admin staff included, as they came through with less than a month until my wedding after it didn't work out with another vendor. We had double digits services for hair and makeup and they were able to accommodate me and my wedding party and get a trial booked for me in the short time frame.

    Hala was our makeup artist and she did an amazing job. We had several different styles represented between the bride, MOB, and bridesmaids, but it was all beautiful and cohesive. She was especially patient and reassuring and had the professional know how of what is best for bridal makeup, which was helpful for me as I was the most nervous about how my makeup would look.

    Stefani was our main hair stylist and I was so impressed with her. She was a delight to talk to and was able to nail the vision for my hair just from photo inspiration. Again, like Hala, she was able to pull off each varied style flawlessly.

    We all looked amazing and had such a pleasant morning with the team from Makeup by Ana B. If you are unsure about the professional hair and makeup process or counting dollars between services, let me tell you they are worth every penny for how stress free this experience has been and how truly talented the artists are.

    Bianca and Esme are the dream team!!

    I recently just had my wedding where Bianca did everyone's makeup and Esme did everyone's hair. They were prompt on the day of, brought every single thing they could possibly need, were delightful and professional, and treated me, my sisters, and my mom like movie stars!! I am so grateful for not only the amazing work that they did, but for how kind and attentive they were in the process.

    Starting with Bianca -- she was an absolute dream to work with! No one in my family wears a lot of makeup, so we were kind of clueless, but she did such a great job looking at our inspiration pictures, asking thoughtful questions before/during/after, and making sure that we felt beautiful when everything was done! She has such a calming, kind, and fun nature too, so she was enjoyable company :)

    Esme is a rockstar!! Everyone in my family has very different hair styles ranging from thick, thin, straight, curly and she was able to give us all the styles that we wanted. Our hair held up for the entire day (despite the wind) and we looked just as put together in the morning as we did in the evening. She even quickly fit my younger sister in at the last minute when she was having trouble doing her own hair.

    I also want to make a note that one of my sisters has Down Syndrome and, with that, sensory issues. Both Bianca and Esme were patient with her, spoke to her kindly, and got her SO excited about the process. She felt so pretty after the morning and is already asking for them to come back for her birthday!

    So thrilled with the work done by Nancy for me, my mother, and my bridesmaids! Everyone looked absolutely stunning! Nancy is so knowledgable and talented, not to mention the sweetest person ever. She also came to my house at some insane hour, like 4 am, to do my makeup and hair before our sunrise engagement shoot, and did an amazing job then, too. She did such a great job and everyone was so happy. Definitely recommend!

    Incredible 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

    Amazing 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!

    Excellent work and stuck to our schedule!

    Norma and Hala did my bridal party's hair and makeup on our special day. Their work was amazing and they were on schedule for the whole day. Every single bridesmaid was so happy with their look. Couldn't recommend enough!

    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 :)

    The 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!

    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!

    Highly recommend

    MAB Studio made my hair and make-up vision come to life! When I had my trial sessions, both artists made recommendations that I would not have considered myself that truly brought my vision to life. This means a lot especially as someone who is not always comfortable in full make-up. I am so grateful to have worked with such experts in their craft!

    Thank you for your glowing review! Lexi and Tanya were thrilled to have been part of your journey, and we're delighted that they could bring your vision to life. Your comfort and satisfaction are paramount to us, and your kind words mean a lot. We hope to serve you again in the future :)

    Beautiful 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! :)

    Wow, 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.

    Highly recommend!

    I can't recommend MAB Artistry enough! I booked them for my wedding day (Amy - makeup and Mindy - hair) and engagement photoshoot (Esme - makeup). Each artist took a lot of time to talk with my about my vision, my likes/dislikes, and my inspiration photos. I was so happy with how my hair and makeup turned out for each occasion!! Not to mention, both lasted all day long (even a down hairstyle!). Amy provided me with a touch up kit with everything I could have possibly needed, which was so sweet! Mindy also left a touch up kit and took the time to show my mom and bridesmaids how to place and remove my veil! Their location is convenient and easy to access in Tyson's, which was a plus for my early morning engagement shoot & wedding day trial!

    A Dream Beauty Team

    I have nothing but WONDERFUL things to say about MAB Artistry! Jasmine and Martha did my hair and makeup exactly how I wanted! I loved everything they did at the trial and they were able to create the same look on my actual wedding day! In addition to the amazing work they did for me, they also did a phenomenal job on the hair and makeup for my mother and my bridal party! Also, Esme was a fantastic addition to the hair and makeup team and did fabulous work for my bridal party! The entire MAB artistry team did such an amazing job making sure everyone in my bridal party had the look they wanted and were satisfied with their hair and makeup! Also, it was an absolute scorcher on my wedding day and my bridesmaids and I were so impressed with the longevity of our hair and makeup. We were shocked that they didn’t need to touch up anything throughout the night! I would highly recommend MAB artistry! They were a dream to work with!

    Highly recommend!

    We got married in May 2023 and I would high recommend Makeup by Ana B. I found them in summer of 2022 and they were available for my date needed. It was difficult looking for other hair/makeup vendors and trying to piece together the cost and if they were available, that is why I recommend makeup by Ana B! It is one stop shop for all of your hair and makeup needs. They will provide you with the best hair and makeup artists and it was a great experience start to finish!

    Jessica is phenomenal!

    Jessica is phenomenal. I rarely wear makeup and was a little weary of using an artist for my wedding. She was a careful listener who executed my dream flawlessly.

    I also have high praise for MAB's coordinators. Momina was responsive and kind.

    I highly recommend Makeup by Ana B for an expert and stress-free experience.

    Couldn't be happier with the MAB team!

    The MAB team was absolutely amazing from start to finish. I reached out to the MAB team through their website and received a reply quickly. Setting up the hair and makeup trials was easy and seamless.

    Bianca Lara (makeup) and Esme (hair) were absolutely the dream team. They combined my wants with their expertise to achieve the perfect look for me and the bridal party. They were incredibly flexible and willing to make changes along the way. Their talent, kindness, and professionalism made the getting ready process easy and smooth. I could not recommend them enough!

    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!
