Testimonials

  • "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."

  • "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!"

  • "Last Sunday was my son's wedding and Esme did my mother-in-law's and my hair and make-up. I cannot give enough praise for her talent, her lovely disposition and all the care and services she provided us with. Esme was on time getting to the hotel and worked within the time frame we had to get ready. She worked in such a way that was so serene, it made a rather hectic morning seem very spa-like. She was wonderful!!"

  • "MAB is the best! Gorgeous makeup and hair, incredible attention to detail. 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."

  • "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!"
