Testimonials

  • "My sister and I got makeup lessons for two.  We went to the studio and had a two-hour lesson with Shirley.  Everyone in the studio was wearing masks, including Shirley, she sanitized both tables and seats we used and repeatedly used hand sanitizer.  She showed us how to do eyes and face makeup and how to use the brushes.  She recommended techniques and colors.  We filmed the lesson on our phones.  We had a fantastic time and learned a lot."

  • "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."

  • "Amazing Artist Team of Shirley, Ester, Ashia, and Lesley! 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!"
