Abby Lauren Makeup and Hair

stayed all day. I have short hair, she parted it on the side and stacked small curls on top for an amazing look with great volume. I got tons of compliments. Abby is also a funny, kind, and warm person, and wonderful to have around to begin your wedding day.

he big day and I have never felt more myself or more gorgeous. Their warmth and amazing energy (which you NEED the morning of your wedding) meshed so well with all of us while getting ready. Their skills are unparalleled and they could not have been more of a joy to work with! Will be recommending to everyone I know!

d looked like we had a filter on our face. Lynn also did a fabulous job at doing our hair - styles ranging from updos for members of my party to a perfect blowout for me that lasted all night without a single frizzy hair (my hair is very wavy so that's unheard of). They were also both so sweet and FUN. We had a blast while getting our hair and makeup done. This was great and all but there were two things that really stood out for me when working with Abby: 1. She was SO accommodating. I must have made 4-5 last minute changes to services and Abby went above and beyond to make sure she could accommodate. She always made sure that I, as the bride, was taken care of first, and worked a miracle to squeeze in the other 2 family members that decided they wanted to get their hair and makeup done just a week before the big day. Having these last minute requests from family stressed me out so much and Abby also went above and beyond to ease my anxiety while coordinating all of these adds which really meant a lot. 2. She was SO receptive to feedback. I loved the way everything turned out after the trial but ultimately didn't quite feel like myself. I am a creature of habit and decided to change up the colors/tones to match my day-to-day makeup, and also decided against an updo since I always wear my hair down and she was amazing at listening to every bit of feedback I had. The day of, she came ready with all of my notes and nailed it yet again. I am not exaggerating when I say that I felt like the best version of myself. I looked like me but elevated and I felt like a million bucks. Abby & her team is amazing. I 1000% recommend her.

supported me throughout the stresses of planning a wedding. For my trial I had Abby doing my makeup and Lynn doing my hair. I brought in photos for them to reference and talked about what I was looking for. Both Abby and Lynn worked their magic and made me look even better than I could have imagined. On the day of the wedding they were able to match exactly what they did at our trial. In addition to Abby and Lynn, Tracina was also there on the day of the wedding (I had a larger group getting ready) and she was fantastic, everyone who had their hair done by her looked fabulous. Abby, Lynn, and Tracina not only made my bridal party, mom, grandmas, and myself look beautiful they also brought a great energy to getting ready. Abby and her team were so positive and really connected with each person they worked with. They made the morning go so smoothly and created a friendly, warm, and stress free environment to get ready in. Everyone who had their hair and makeup done was GLOWING even at the end of the night our makeup still looked amazing and our hair was intact. If you want to look absolutely stunning on your wedding day you must book Abby and her team.

h me on my vision and I couldn’t recommend her enough!!

, they really helped get everyone in the wedding mindset. For my makeup specifically, I was blown away. My makeup lasted ALL DAY, as in it was applied at 9am and when I went to take it off at 1am after the wedding, it was still PERFECTLY INTACT (so perfect, it felt wasteful to take it off). She totally understood the right products to use based on my skin and how/when I flush and sweat and literally everything else that could happen to your face. It required no touch ups and was the most natural feeling application. It was the best makeup I have ever had done. I will be booking Abby for every event going forward and can not recommend her and her team enough. Abby, thank you for everything!!!

aking sure that we used the right products. She was extremely accommodating at every step of the process, and I truly felt taken care of. She's an amazing listener. My mom, mother-in-law and I wanted light natural looks, and she did that and more. We don't usually get our HMU done, so we were a bit nervous about how it would turn out. But the final product was absolutely gorgeous. We all felt like elevated, glammed versions of ourselves, and it was all thanks to Abby. She made me feel like such a beautiful bride on my big day, and I can't recommend her enough!!!!!

l. Not to mention that she was incredibly responsive and easy to work with leading up to the day. My bridesmaids were all super happy with their experience and loved how they looked as well. Plus, she gave me two different lip looks to bring with me to venue since she didn't come for touch-ups. Overall, I would recommend Abby and use her again in a heart beat for future events.

with questions - we even settled on a new lip color via DM! My wedding look was exactly what I pictured: natural, glowy makeup and a soft updo. Abby (makeup) and Bailey (hair) listened to what I wanted and applied their expertise to bring it to life. Abby and Bailey were also so much fun to hang out with on the day of the wedding. They’re both so relaxed, and they made everyone around them feel comfortable - even the moms! My mom had some concerns about her hairstyle due to effects from chemo, and Bailey knocked it out of the park (including by empowering my mom to play around with her hair to make sure it looked exactly how she wanted it to). And Abby absolutely nailed my mom’s makeup - she looked so glamorous that bar-goers at our after party apparently thought she was an actress! It was a beautiful day, and I’m so happy that Abby and Bailey were there to make us all look our best.

ier. Abby was a pleasure to communicate with too - she was super responsive, friendly, and assured me I would be happy with my wedding look which I was! I highly recommend Abby Lauren Makeup and Hair!

ise, and collaboration. She was great at responding to inquiries leading up to the day, too. As for the day of, she and her hair artist Lynn were amazing! They arrived promptly as scheduled and I felt like they really listened to myself and my bridesmaids in terms of style; we all wanted a more natural look, and Abby made my girls and myself feel beautiful. As for hair, I did not get a trial prior, but I had an idea of what I wanted (loose curls half up with some ornate hair pins) and I felt like Lynn nailed it! Before leaving, Abby gave us all our own lip color we chose so we could reapply later. Also, I purchased a fingertip-length veil and Lynn carefully showed my bridesmaids how to remove it as to not mess up the hair pins. Overall, I feel like Abby and Lynn made my already important day. I am so excited to get my professional photos back. Even late into the evening, my hair and makeup held up! Definitely cannot recommend enough.

re so much fun to have around as we were getting ready. Can't recommend them enough!

nto the evening! I truly can’t recommend Abby enough. If you’re dreaming of your perfect wedding look, do yourself a favor and book Abby!

ghly recommend!

dback I gave, so on the day of the wedding, we didn't have to make any adjustments! She also gave me her number so we could text about some questions I had leading up to the wedding, and she calmed me down and talked me off a ledge a few times! What a wonderful, talented person and warm presence. So glad I met Abby and my whole crew was obsessed with their make-up too!

feel comfortable and flawless. Everyone looked so beautiful and our makeup and hair stayed intact the entire night. Abby and her team were amazing and would highly, highly recommend them to anyone!

t how to wear my hair. No matter how many times I changed my mind, she never got frustrated and helped me figure out what would be best for me. I wish she could do my hair and makeup everyday!

y big day. I also had her artists do my bridesmaids’ make-up and they all chose different styles - each of them could not have been happier. I highly recommend Abby Lauren and her team to anyone and everyone looking for a flawless, gorgeous look!

ral like I wanted. Abby made my skin flawless and glowy and I received a lot of compliments! Kelsey made my dream wedding hairstyle come true! They were professional and kind and even kept us calm the morning of the wedding! Anyone that hires them is in good hands! 💕

ing turned out. Abby and her team were fun, professional, talented and a joy to be around. They perfected the natural makeup look we really wanted, and we all felt super glam for the big day. Would highly recommend Abby and her team!

tely turn to her whenever i need to look extra pretty :)

ully in the pictures. Not to mention it lasted ALL night in the August humidity. She also so nicely offered to come to my apartment to do my makeup which helped SO much with the chaos of getting ready that afternoon! She was so fun and I honestly loved chatting with her. Very cool person and highly highly recommend!!

my wedding. Such positive energy and very talented. I would definitely recommend working with Abby. If I ever need hair/makeup done for any occasion, I will go with Abby Lauren again!

t and knocked it out of the park. We hired them for wedding day hair and makeup for myself and 3 others in my bridal party and they were so lovely to work with - talented, kind, professional, punctual and fun. They never made us feel rushed, even when we wanted to make tweaks to our looks. I have so many great memories from that morning. 200% recommend Abby's business!

ve never felt more beautiful when she was finished with my make up. I would highly recommend Abby if you are in need of a make up artist!

area!

l event.

d them to any future brides!

me, but a better version of me) and she nailed it. As a bonus, she's super organized and a pleasure to work with.

zed, and she wore a mask the entirety of the service! I highly recommend her and her team!

g sure I was photo-ready. I felt stunning all night and it translated incredibly in our photos too! She's so calming and friendly, it was the best energy for a busy day and my bridesmaids all loved the makeup she did as well. Would recommend Abby to anyone, she is so wonderful and talented!!

y wedding day I felt beautiful ans I am so grateful to her for making me feel so confident. Makeup and hair within budget was one of the things I found most difficult about planning an NYC wedding, I had to do a TON of research before I found Abby am so so relieved I did. I wanted a more natural look and some of my girls wanted drama and I think her team nailed both. Our moms also both looked stunning! We just got some sneak peaks back and I’m surprised at how much I love them :) Cannot recommend Abby enough. She was so on top of it throughout but also so fun to be around!

ct look I was hoping for but was unable to articulate! Abby took detailed notes from my trial and incorporated my feedback of slight modifications I was looking for. Abby is extremely responsive, patient and a calming presence. I cannot recommend her and her team enough!

elash options out since I don't like having a lot of weight on my eyelashes an she nailed it with the perfect amount. My husband gave me a great compliment as well that it didn't look like I was wearing a lot of makeup either, which means Abby made it look very natural :) Lastly, we had mishap that Abby took care of. My groom bumped his forehead the morning of our wedding had a small gash that she offered to cover and she made it completely disappear and relieved his stress. Thank you Abby!

ertise in this field, and personality won me over! I thought it was pretty awesome that she asked me so many questions to get an understanding of what my skin would respond best to and what features I really wanted her to highlight. I am always super impressed by the way my makeup turns out! She also understands the importance of good skincare and has recommended various skincare products- which she encourages you to find online (she's an honest person who isn't pushing products for commission which is super important to me). She was the first person I allowed to apply lashes on me (which looked amazing by the way!) Fast forward to now- she did my makeup and hair for my wedding in Long Beach, NY! I realized I never wrote a review on the knot, and remembering when I was a bride to be, I know how stressful finding an amazing & honest vendor can be. I absolutely loved my makeup and hair which looked perfect from the first look to the last dance! Definitely don't hesitate to reach out to Abby!

nimal touchups. She was incredibly professional and went above and beyond to make sure i felt comfortable on the day. I cannot recommend her enough!

s so flexible and responsive, and everyone on the team made our whole group feel so comfortable.

ented makeup artist. I felt beautiful at my wedding and could not have been happier that I chose to use Abby for such a special day!!

and,UK) I did not have a trial but Abby was always quick to respond to my messages and I was able to send her photos of looks/styles I liked. I loved my hair & makeup and would highly recommend Abby for both, she was professional, used great quality products and made me feel wonderful! ps. I also got married outside in August in New York and my makeup stayed put all day despite the heat!!! :) x

and I am SO THANKFUL I contacted them. Everyone I worked with was incredibly amazing. When I first contacted Beautini, Claire helped ease my worries and connected me with two down-to-earth, incredible artists: Abby (makeup) and Jackie (hair). I had such a fun experience at the hair and makeup trial at Beautini's salon and I knew from that moment that I made the right choice! When Abby and Jackie showed up for my wedding day, I felt like I had known them forever. I was comfortable, happy, and in such great company. The ladies were incredibly talented, kind, and fun. They were a great duo for the most special day of my life! I would hands down recommend Beautini for any bride in the NYC area who wants an affordable, fun, super-talented experience! Here is some information in hopes to help you in your wedding journey. I relied on The Knot's reviews. I know that wedding planning can be stressful so try to enjoy the journey and best of luck!
