Abby Lauren Makeup and Hair

I absolutely cannot recommend Abby enough! Planning an elopement in New York from the UK was quite daunting, especially trying to find a reasonably priced makeup artist who was willing to travel to my hotel. Abby went above and beyond. She not only made me feel incredibly beautiful, but she was also flexible when we had to reschedule due to unexpected weather. My makeup was perfect, both in person and in photographs, and it lasted flawlessly throughout the day. I was so impressed with the products she used that I've even purchased some for myself. On top of everything, Abby is incredibly friendly and a joy to chat with. You will not regret booking her!

Abby and her team were nothing short of amazing! Abby was an absolute pleasure to work with in setting up exactly what I wanted out of my hair and makeup team for my wedding day. When I was having second thoughts about my hair trial (nothing wrong with the execution, just a matter of my preference), she was immediately responsive in setting up a second trial for me, and I had a blast gabbing with her in the studio. We had Jaden and Cendy on makeup and Emma and Lynn on hair - they were all absolutely incredible! They took the inspo photos everyone brought and made them a reality - and did a phenomenal job not only for me, but also for my bridesmaids, bridesman, and the MOB and MOG. They made us feel very comfortable as they got us glammed up, and everyone's hair and makeup held up so nicely throughout the day! I cannot recommend Abby Lauren Makeup and Hair enough.

I couldn't be more grateful to have found Abby and her outstanding team. From overall guidance over the phone and during my trials to the day of my wedding, they made hair and makeup easy. Everyone in my wedding party looked INCREDIBLE! We worked with Emma and Cendy and just couldn't have been happier. They were kind, professional, and SO GOOD at what they do. They really helped all of us be relaxed and enjoy the process of getting ready. I hope to have the opportunity to work with them again in the future. Thank you!

The most talented, caring, and kind artist! Abby created the most beautiful wedding look that made me feel like myself and lasted all night. Abby Lauren was recommended to me by my photographer, Justin mcCallum, for my wedding. From the first call we had, Abby and I clicked immediately and I knew that she would be able to bring my makeup vision to life. My mom and I each had a trial with her and Abby nailed the look the first go around. I had done a couple of other trials and was coming in a little wary, but I showed Abby what I was thinking and she didn't just look at the reference images and start working - she heard my concerns and my asks and made me feel so taken care of. Originally Abby was just going to do makeup for my mom, MIL, MOH, and me but after our trial, I expanded the list to include all of my bridesmaids as well. On the day of my wedding, My group could not stop raving about Abby and her beautiful work. She made us all feel so beautiful and our best selves. She and I worked together to build out the schedule and even when people were running late, she was flexible and went with the flow. I loved working with Abby and would jump at the chance to work with her again for any reason.

Working with Abby and Kaori for my wedding was a dream!! They made everything so seamless and easy. Every makeup look and hair style was exactly what everyone wanted. I was obsessed with my makeup and hair. If I ever need these services again, I have no doubt that i’d reach back out to them! Thank you!!!

Where do I even begin? Abby is the kind of person who makes you feel cared for from the moment you connect with her. Even via email, I knew I had to work with her. She was so easy to communicate with, so detailed, and she made me feel like I was her top priority. Kaori did my hair and was so fun and easy to work with. Lynn was also part of our day-of team and made my niece/flower girl feel like a princess. I had Abby & Kaori stay with me for touch-ups through my cocktail hour into a second look, and wow, they care so much about making you look perfect and feel so special on your wedding day. Abby will be a friend for life after my wedding. I can’t say enough good things about her & her team. 10/10 recommend!

Abby and Kaori were amazing. They listened and did exactly as we wanted. As MOB I didn't want to look too made up, and Abby did a perfect job. They were fun to work with! Abby has an easy calm and friendly way about her that makes sitting in her chair fun and relaxing. She was always there to answer questions leading up to my daughters wedding . The quality of her make up was amazing. I even bought what she used on me it was the great! Use Abby Lauren for your next event. You won't be disappointed.

Abby's team was great for our rehearsal day getting ready!! I came in with not many ideas and Kaori executed perfectly! Emma was also amazing and did a great job for the ladies. They were so sweet, took time to help us get ideas for hair, and made sure we were happy in the end. Would definitely recommend for weddings or other events!

Abby & her team are all so lovely & worth every penny. I had Kaori for hair, Lauren for makeup, & Emma who helped out doing both for some of my girls.

The absolute best decision I made was booking Abby! I felt like a glowing goddess from beginning to the end of the day. Abby was professional, fun, calming and just an overall joy to spend my morning with! I truly can’t have imagined booking anyone else for my makeup. She also did my bridesmaids and my mom. We all have different styles, skin tones and preferences and she knocked each look out of the park! We loveeeeeee you Abby!!!!!!

Abby and her team were amazing. They were on time and really listened to our needs and gave great advice. I highly recommend Abby Lauren.

If I could give more than 5 stars, I would. Abby's team executed flawless natural looking makeup on me (the bride) and my small wedding party. Not only was Abby prompt with her responses, she was organized, and helped me navigate hair and makeup styles as someone who doesn't wear makeup on the daily. I'd highly recommend booking her team for any special occasion, but especially for a wedding. She was a joy to have around during the morning of the day of the wedding. Her team kept the vibes positive and fun; no stress when working with her, which is what every bride deserves!

I contacted Abby a few months before my little elopement in the city and she immediately made me feel completely at ease with her warm and friendly demeanor. She truly listened to my vision and brought it to life perfectly on the day of my ceremony. The makeup was stunning and lasted all day through our all of our adventures. I will be recommending Abby to everyone I know!

Thank you so much to Abby and her team for making our wedding day so special! Abby and Andrea were very easy to work with and were very open to my ideas about what I wanted, as well as thoughts on altering both hair and makeup after my trial and on wedding day. Our bridal party loved working with Abby's team. Everyone made us feel welcomed, special, and excited for the big day! Abby communicates with professionalism, clarity, and warmth throughout the whole process. Thank you, Abby, Andrea, and your team, for such a wonderful experience!

Abby and her team were phenomenal! Every one in the bridal party looked amazing with very natural looking makeup and a variety of hairstyles. I felt gorgeous as the bride and both hair and makeup lasted perfectly all day and night! I could not recommend Abby and her team more!

I cannot recommend Abby and her team enough!!! I connected with Abby after she did bridal makeup for a friend of mine and I saw how beautiful she looked. Abby is so easy to talk to and we had a great first call where we talked through everything from what I wear daily, what I wanted in bridal makeup, what my bridesmaids wanted and a brief day of timeline. I had such a great experience with Abby for makeup that I decided to switch vendors for hair and had an amazing experience with Kaori!! Abby did an amazing job making sure my makeup was ready for the long day and many photos but also made it look and feel natural and like my normal self. Kaori did an amazing job with everyone’s hair and took such great care with mine. I showed her an inspiration photo and she talked through it with me and we found a great look that was just what I wanted. It lasted the entire day and was even beautiful when I took it down the next day. From start to finish, Abby and Kaori were easy to work with, responsive, helpful and most importantly such a great people to have in the room the morning of your wedding!!!

Abby was a joy to work with! She’s highly professional, extraordinarily talented and quick with her communication. My wedding day makeup was absolute perfection and exactly what I had dreamed of in terms of a striking but soft and natural look. I couldn’t recommend working with Abby highly enough.

I absolutely adore the team at Abby Lauren! They are the most professional, kind, thoughtful, and talented group of artists in the business. Abby herself was not available on my wedding day, but she went above and beyond to communicate clearly and in a timely fashion to make sure her team would be ready for the big day! We still talk on Instagram now! I worked with Andrea for makeup and Bailey for hair. It was an absolute dream! It’s like getting your hair and makeup done by two close friends who bring out the absolute best in you! They were so fun to talk to and work with, but most importantly, they made my vision come to life and made me look above and beyond more beautiful than I could have ever imagined! They also did the hair and makeup of my twin sister, my mom, my mother-in-law, and my sister-in-law, and I cannot express enough how beautiful they all looked! Whether young or mature skin, long or short hair, Andrea and Bailey are so talented! Additionally, Emma did makeup and Lynn did hair for my bridesmaids. I cannot rave about them enough! My bridesmaids had different visions and styles for hair and makeup, and they all looked 10/10. Absolutely stunning! Thank you so much to the whole team at Abby Lauren. I love you all! I am so happy you were a part of my special day.

If you are nervous about getting your makeup done, have no fear with Abby! I was connected with Abby after I had an initial makeup trial with a different makeup artist that didn't go as well as hoped. Abby spoke with me over the phone for over an hour and listened to what I had felt unhappy with. We then met for a trial; Abby was not only patient, but she talked me through every step of what she was doing, and even allowed me to do my own eyebrow makeup (I'm finicky with those, haha) and welcomed all my questions throughout. On the day of my wedding, Abby did makeup for 8 of us! Most of my wedding party does not wear makeup on the day-to-day and they all shared that Abby was kind, patient, and talked them through each step of their application. Abby's presence was not only welcomed, it fit right in with the joy of the morning and also helped ease any nerves. My makeup was not only beautiful but lasted from 12 pm to 3:30 am! And I am a sweaty girl. I even left my lashes on for our family brunch the following morning and got compliments on how natural they looked. Long review, long, I cannot recommend Abby enough. She is thorough, kind, patient, and flexible. Her makeup enhances everyone's natural beauty and will stay through the hours of your day, rain, and sweat. 10/10 recommend!

Thank you Abby and Lynn for making me and my family feel so beautiful on my wedding day! From the moment I met them I felt at ease and more confident. They truly listened, offered suggestions and made adjustments if needed. On top of all that, we had fun!! Chatting with them in the bridal suite felt like they were part of the girls! I am so grateful to them and cannot recommend enough!

There are not enough great things I can say about Abby Lauren Makeup & Hair! We have worked together on numerous events and each time, Abby & her team absolutely kill it! They are dependable, personable, caring and most of all, they execute your makeup and hair vision effortlessly. The team is SO talented. You will not go wrong hiring Abby for any special occasion that you want to look fabulous for!

Highly recommend Abby and her team! I had an amazing experience with both Abby and one of her makeup artists, Valeria, on my wedding day in NYC. Both are consummate professionals. They went above and beyond to communicate with me proactively before the wedding, kept us organized and running ahead of schedule (!) day-of, and best of all, helped us look like the most beautiful, confident, and natural versions of ourselves. I also want to note how much I appreciated how well the team listened to my thoughts and feedback during the process. After my makeup trial, I had a couple of changes, and Valeria implemented them flawlessly and with care -- which is not something everyone can do well. I couldn't have been happier with how I looked and felt on my wedding day!

I am so happy I found Abby and her team. I do not wear a lot of makeup regularly and Abby knew just how to give me a natural look that wasn’t dull in photos. She is attentive and listened to my concerns, and applied my make-up exactly how I had envisioned. Lynn was equally as amazing with my hair. I wasn’t sure how I wanted my hair styled and after looking a picture of my dress Lynn came up with the perfect style! I could not have been happier with my makeup and hair at my trial and that took away so much anxiety the day of my wedding.

Abby is the exact person you need on your wedding day to make you feel completely glamorous. Not only does Abby do amazing work, she is an amazing human. She was had such a calming and cool presence which eased my nerves while getting ready for the big day. Abby is funny, kind, and respectful. I would choose her over and over again to do my makeup for any event.

Great communication from Abby, and the hair and makeup artists that I worked with were both very talented and easy to work with. They did a great job adapting to the small hotel room we were working with for getting ready. They listened to the look we wanted, and my bridal party and I all looked our best.

Abby is the absolute best! First off, she is a joy to be around. Her personality and energy are infectious. Which is perfect for a busy day. She made me feel super comfortable, relaxed, and beautiful… it’s a gift! Her talent and professionalism are unmatched. 10/10 will recommend to everyone!

I had the pleasure of having Abby as my makeup artist for my wedding day, and I cannot express how happy I was with the results! As someone who doesn't typically wear a lot of makeup, I was initially nervous about finding the right balance between looking glamorous for my wedding and still feeling like myself. Abby struck that balance perfectly. Abby took the time to understand my personal style and preferences, and she made sure to create a look that accentuated my features rather than overpowering them. Not only is Abby exceptionally talented, but she also has a warm presence that immediately put me at ease. This is exactly what a bride needs on her wedding day! Her professionalism and friendly demeanor contributed to an enjoyable experience during a day that can be quite overwhelming. Choosing Abby was undeniably the best decision I made for my wedding. Thank you, for making me feel like a true bride!

Having Abby do my makeup for my wedding was the best decision I could have made! Other makeup artists leave me feeling like I don’t even look like myself! But with Abby, I got the best-version-of-myself that I was hoping for. She is just so talented and fun to be around! She also has a calming presence, which was so needed that day. I highly recommend her!

Wow, if I could have invited Abby & Bailey to actually ATTEND my wedding - I would have because that's how much I loved working with them and having them be a part of my wedding day! From the very first call (9 months before my wedding), Abby was beyond incredible. She immediately made me feel like I could rely on her and I trusted that she would make sure my wedding look was everything I wanted it to be. In the 9 months leading up to the wedding, she answered every single one of my questions within hours of me sending an email. The day of was perfect - Abby and Bailey executed my vision beyond my wildest dreams! They were excellent with my mom, MIL, SIL, and cousins and did a great job keeping us on schedule. Not only are they extremely talented, but they are also FUN and personable! When looking for "the one" for hair and make-up for your wedding it's, of course, important that they are skilled, but to me, it was equally important that they fit the vibe on my wedding day since they are with you all day. Abby excelled in all those areas! Book her ASAP :-)

Abby did my makeup for my wedding and it was a wonderful experience. I had a few different trials because I wanted to find the perfect fit, and Abby was it! I don’t wear much makeup so I was particular about a natural look. Abby totally got it and really listened. Everything about the experience was great- the communication, the products used, and the ease I felt working with Abby. I can’t recommend her enough!

Abby and her team were a breath of fresh air. I do not wear a lot of make up, so I often do not feel like myself with professional makeup. However, Abby listened to my concerns and I was so happy with the final look. I felt natural and glowy. Thank you so much Abby!

I recently had the pleasure of working with Abby and I was beyond impressed! Abby possesses a combination of talent and professionalism, her attention to detail is truly remarkable. I was a bridesmaid for a wedding and needed my make up done. Abby took the time to listen to my vision and offered valuable insights and expert suggestions. The result was flawless and not only exceeded my expectations but suited the occasion. From the quality of products used to the seamless execution of techniques, the entire experience was great. If you’re seeking a makeup artist who not only transforms faces but also leaves a lasting impression, look no further. I highly recommend Abby for your makeup and hair needs!!

I hired Abby to do my makeup for me and my boyfriend’s son’s headshots and we had an amazing experience. She was warm, friendly, funny and professional. She instantly put us at ease. I loved all the products that Abby used and I even ordered some of what she used on me for my look when we finished. (She was happy to give me all the info) And she was fast! Before I knew it my makeup was done and it looked perfect!! She was also excellent when it came to doing the makeup for my bf’s son (a 16 yr old) who had never had any makeup done before. Thanks to Abby and her amazing team our headshots came out perfectly!!! I highly recommend Abby for all your makeup and hair needs! Her team is the best!

🚨HAPPY BRIDE ALERT 🚨 Lynn Rios worked wonders on my wedding day hair! The hand-painted glitter she added made my hair stand out beautifully, and I loved how comfortable it was without any pricking pins. Despite having 3B curly hair, she straightened it flawlessly, and by the end of the night, there was no frizz in sight. Her talent and skill truly made my wedding day hair a whimsical masterpiece!

Lynn is not just a hairstylist; she's a magician with an uncanny ability to transform curly hair into a work of art. Having struggled with alopecia and coming to terms with loving my curly hair, I had stayed away from salons for over a decade — I only trusted myself to take care of my hair. Lynn changed that for me. From the moment I sat in her chair, she exuded confidence and genuine care. It's rare to find someone who not only understands the intricacies of curly hair but also approaches it with such expertise. Lynn's talent truly shone when she effortlessly created an updo for me, a bridesmaid with unique hair challenges. Her kindness and patience were evident as she delicately worked with my thinning hair, embracing its natural beauty. It was more than just a hairstyling session; it was a testament to Lynn's commitment to making everyone feel beautiful, regardless of their individual struggles. For someone like me, entrusting my hair to a stylist is a significant decision. Lynn not only met but exceeded my expectations. The result was a breathtakingly romantic hairstyle that not only complemented the occasion but also made me feel confident and radiant. Lynn's passion for her craft is palpable, and her ability to create magic with hair is nothing short of extraordinary. I can confidently say that she has not only gained a loyal client in me but also someone who deeply appreciates the artistry and heart she brings to hairstyling. If you're looking for a stylist who understands and celebrates the uniqueness of your hair, Lynn is the one.

Abby is the most talented and professional make-up artist I work with. She is highly educated in all things make-up, and I always learn a tip when I work with her. All of my clients are extremely happy with her services, and they even refer her to their friends. She is highly efficient and detailed, always finishing on time or early. Abby’s hair styling team is also hard working and professional. She is my first call when I book a client, and I know I have my “A” team when she confirms. I highly recommend!!

STOP SEARCHING! BOOK ABBY & TEAM! Abby is the absolute best! She did my makeup for my sister's wedding and absolutely killed it! I felt so beautiful all day and night. Even after taking photos in the scorching hot sun and dancing my butt off on the dance floor, the makeup was still perfect! Thank you so much again to Abby and her wonderful team! Can't wait for her to do my makeup for my own wedding!

YOU MUST BOOK ABBY AND HER TEAM!! I was a bridesmaid for my sisters wedding and Abby was seriously amazing. I was super worried about getting my makeup done because i tend to wear a super natural no makeup look. Abby knocked it out of the park. She was extremely patient( which is hard to find now a days) and so kind and listened to everyones needs. She was a treat to be around. She really is an amazing makeup artist! I will 100% be using her for future events. YOU NEED TO HIRE HER AND HER TEAM!!

Abby is a one of a kind makeup artist - I would hire her again in a heartbeat! If you want the best makeup artist in the NYC region, one who is talented, professional, highly communicative, inclusive, thoughtful, and highly skilled for your big day, Abby is your girl. I hired her as soon as I met her to do the makeup for my wedding and my 6 bridesmaids. Not only did she exceed all of my expectations, but her presence on my wedding day helped calm my nerves. She has an infectious optimism, was inclusive and attentive to the unique needs of folks within my wedding party, and genuinely executed our makeup and hair to perfection. Abby listens and has years of experience- this really comes through when you're working with her. My bridesmaids and I cannot recommend Abby enough!! She's everything you want in a makeup artist for your big day - someone who is very talented, highly communicative, with an easygoing presence that grounds you for your big day. Her sense of humor, thoughtfulness, and passion for helping you achieve your beauty goals is just icing on the cake to what she can truly do - make you and your wedding party look absolutely gorgeous.

Lynn did my hair when I was a bridesmaid for my friends wedding. Not only did she do my hair exactly how I envisioned, she works so quickly and efficiently I was genuinely shocked. My hair stayed put and fabulous for 8+ hours. Her hands work magic. The cherry on top was that she was a wonderful presence for my bestie’s big day. Could not recommend her enough!!!

Make up and hair beautifully done! Would highly recommend ❤️
