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!
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.
I knew I wanted Abby to do my makeup from the moment I booked my wedding venue. She had done my makeup at my best friend's wedding in 2022, and I was in awe. She made me feel more beautiful than I had ever have, as she did very natural makeup and enhanced all my features. From the moment I booked with her it was just easy. She answered all my questions, and as we got closer helped me to book my trial. I was blown away with how it came out, and I knew I would be set for the day of my wedding. She traveled to Long Island for my wedding, arrived early to set up, and made my entire party feel at ease, including my mother who never wears makeup. Even more so, she fit right in just as an old friend would. In terms of service, Abby killed it on my makeup. It came out exactly as I wanted, and I felt like I was on top of the world. She is truly an artist, and I could not recommend her more! I hope I have another excuse in the future to work with her honestly.
I want to also shout out Andrea, who did my hair. We met at the trial and she was able to execute exactly how I wanted it to look. We made one slight adjustment for the day of, and it lasted the whole night, despite the high wind we had that day. I am so grateful that she was my hair stylist that day, and highly recommend her as well!
Thank you so so much Abby and Andrea! Truly the dream team!
Any questions?
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.
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!
I can't say enough about both Abby and Lynn! I had booked their services almost a year in advance. I live in Mississippi and relied on the reviews from the Knot and I am so thankful the quality of work matched what I saw. The communication leading up to the day was excellent. They were both so fun and kind and made the experience that much more entertaining! I am thankful that they both made me look gorgeous but did so in a simple and elegant way. Abby did not cake on a ton of makeup but knew exactly how to complement my features. They are both very skilled and I would recommend them to anyone! Thanks for helping make our day perfect!
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!
In looking back on everything we coordinated to prepare for our wedding, hands down hiring Abby Lauren for our hair and makeup was the best decision. I can’t stress enough how incredible it was working with her team – especially Valeria, who gave me really helpful suggestions regarding my makeup, and ultimately delivered what I had envisioned. I hadn’t wanted to look too made up, just enough coverage to make the photos look good, and that’s exactly what I got. It’s been 6 months since our wedding, and my maid of honor and I still talk about how much we also loved Bailey, who styled our hair. Valeria and Bailey were with us all morning while we were getting ready, and I honestly kind of miss them. Such great people and really talented. They made the morning of our wedding a little bit more fun and special.
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 BEST! I called her a few months before my wedding in a bit of a panic looking for a HMU team and she immediately put me at ease. She is professional, confident, talented, and so fun to be around which made the morning of the wedding that much more relaxing. She did my make up and Bailey did my hair - both of which were perfect for the big day. I also had so much fun during my trial and felt like I was just hanging out with girlfriends. Everyone in my party was so impressed and loved the entire HMU process. Thank you, Abby!!
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 ❤️
The hair and make-up team were amazing! They did my hair and make-up for my son's wedding and I received so many compliments. Lynn Rios was a super star. Very patient, professional and friendly. Hailey was equally amazing! Thank you so much for making me feel beautiful on such a special day.
I would not recommend this vendor - the hair stylist was rude, didn’t listen to what we were looking for, and the hair ended up looking completely unprofessional for our trial run, which was very expensive. Professional make up and hair products were not used, and with naturally curly hair, curling iron was used with no heat protectant which left hair damaged for days.
We are also two brides and problematic language was used about “not being gay but getting the hottest girl at a gay club” while the trial was happening.
I would not recommend this vendor.
I adored Abby from the minute I saw her! She did a trial makeup on my Matron of Honor and myself. We laughed ourselves silly through the whole process. We both had specific requests and she far exceeded our expectations. Because I was an older bride, I wanted my makeup to look natural . She made me look gorgeous without doing alot! The day of my wedding came and she made me look like a movie star! Everyone commented on how gorgeous I looked! I cannot recommend Abby more highly! She really gets you!!
Abby and her team were a pleasure to work with. Communication was very quick and friendly, and hair/makeup for the wedding were great. They listened to what each of our party wanted and everything turned out great!
Abby and Lynn were absolutely fantastic. They are both so talented and so much fun - it was a joy to feel like they were as excited as I was getting ready. My hair and makeup looked absolutely stunning, and I even got some makeup tips for my everyday look. Abby is great at communicating and extremely professional - I highly recommend Abby Lauren Makeup & Hair.
Really enjoyed working with Abby and Bailey! They made myself and my family look beautiful!
Finding the perfect makeup artist for your wedding day can be a daunting task, but I was incredibly fortunate to have chosen Abby. Her expertise in bridal makeup is simply unparalleled. From the initial consultation to the big day, she displayed a level of professionalism and skill that was truly exceptional.
Her calming presence was a blessing amidst the whirlwind of wedding preparations. We even asked her to arrive at 7am and she did it with a huge huge smile on. She has this unique ability to understand and execute the exact look you desire, effortlessly blending classic techniques with modern trends. Her attention to detail ensured that my makeup was flawless, enhancing my features in the most natural and stunning way.
What stood out the most was her soothing demeanor. Weddings can be stressful, but her gentle approach and reassuring words provided a much-needed sense of tranquility. She thought of everything, even provided all of the girls with touch-up kits to make the day so so so special.
The final look was breathtaking. The makeup lasted all day, looking as fresh in the evening as it did in the morning. Guests couldn't stop complimenting how radiant I looked. Choosing Abby was one of the best decisions I made for my wedding. She's a true artist with a remarkable talent for making brides look and feel their absolute best. HIRE HER
Abby and her team were hands down the BEST vendor I worked with. Absolute dream team!
Shortly after I inquired, Abby hopped on a call to discuss details. She was so warm and friendly, and I booked to secure the 2022 rate for my 2023 wedding. I worked with Abby and Lynn for makeup and hair for my engagement photos, wedding trial, and wedding day. They are a well-oiled machine (and so fun)! They made me feel so beautiful and had me done in under an hour every single time.
To accommodate the size of my party, Abby ensured we had enough stylists (2 for makeup, 2 for hair) for our wedding day. My bridal party (8 ladies + 1 flower girl) was skeptical that we only had a 9:45-12:15 window for everyone's hair and makeup, but Abby's team did the damn thing. Everyone loved their hair and makeup!
I can't say enough about how much I appreciate Abby. Very professional, provided seamless communication throughout the entire process, and budget friendly pricing for NYC.
Abby and her team (shout out Bailey, Lynn, Hailey) were incredible to work with and simply fun to be around on my wedding day! Her team made sure my everyone in my bridal party felt comfortable when getting their hair and/or makeup done. They were all flexible for alterations when requested. Abby is both personable and professional. She's able to do any "look" - whether someone wants glam or minimalist makeup. One of my bridesmaids was initially hesitant because she's very particular about how she does her makeup, but Abby instantly won her over. Highly recommend Abby Lauren Makeup and Hair!
Abby and her team (huge shoutout to Lynn!) were absolute rockstars and made myself and my bridal party feel confident, beautiful and like ourselves ❤️ Communication leading up to the big day was consistent, thoughtful and personal. Abby and her team feel like you’ve known them forever and ease any wedding day jitters right away, all day. Abby makes it clear that helping you look and feel your best on your day could not be more important to her and by the end of the experience, I truly felt that she was a friend for life ❤️ we love Abby!!
Abby and her team were fantastic for my wedding this summer! Bailey and Valeria were so kind and professional. Everything looked great and my family and I were very happy with how hair/makeup turned out. Thank you again, highly recommend! 💜
Abby and Bailey were the absolute best hair and make up duo we could have booked for our wedding. I did a trial with them ahead of our engagement photos and loved how everything came out. For the day of the wedding they were timely, professional, and fun! My sister, my mom, my mother in law and me really enjoyed chatting with the two of them throughout the morning. My hair and make up came out exactly how I was envisioning and stayed put throughout the long day. They achieved the exact natural but glamorous look I wanted. Book Abby Lauren! You will be so happy you did.
Abby and her team were fantastic! So courteous, efficient, worked hard to accomodate us as we had changing numbers of people needing hair/makeup at the last minute, and did a fantastic job that we're so happy with! Highly recommend!
Abby was a standout from the start. After several makeup trials, I was confident she'd do an excellent job on my wedding day, and she truly exceeded my expectations. The team's performance was equally impressive. With a big group of 16 bridesmaids, plus the MOB and MOG, it was no small task to keep everyone happy. But every single one of them was pleased with their hair and makeup. The team was punctual, even finishing ahead of schedule, and the results were top-notch. Many of my friends commented that I had the best hair & makeup team they've seen at any wedding. Highly recommend!
I loved working with Abby for my wedding + engagement photos! She’s so amazing at what she does. We had her for our bridal party (me, 5 bridesmaids and mother of the bride) and everyone was obsessed with their looks.
We had a smaller ceremony in Jan. in California, and although the hair and make up was beautiful that day, Abby blew them out of the water. And not only was her work impeccable, she made our morning super efficient by running things on time and sticking to the schedule without needing anyone to keep her on track.
Abby and her team stayed for touch ups at our venue as well, and she was so sweet to help the groom with some cover up and to basically do all of the mother of the groom’s make up as well even though she wasn’t part of the original group since she wasn’t happy with where she went.
She’s also so thoughtful. We had my baby nephew in the suite, and she was very considerate and respectful towards him/my brother in law even when others were being too loud or rude to them (and even sang him a little song!)
Overall, I would HIGHLY recommend working with Abby. Her work is beautiful, but more importantly she’s such a calming presence and joy to be around on a day when people can really annoy the hell out of you or stress you out. I would definitely hire her for any event or any make up/hair needs I have in the future!
The absolute DREAM TEAM!!
Abby and Lynn did the hair and make up of myself, my mum and two of my friends for my microwedding in NYC at the end of July.
I’m from the U.K. so hadn’t met Abby prior to the day, therefore communication was super important. I couldn’t have been happier with Abby’s communication and felt very at ease for the big day.
Upon arrival to the hotel Abby and Lynn had so much enthusiasm and personality and it was a fantastic morning with lots of laughs and stories shared, it was memorable for sure!
We all felt absolutely beautiful , and given it was a very hot and humid day, our make up stayed put and my hair still looked fabulous at 10pm that night (and I have naturally curly hair that hates humidity)!
Total rockstars, I wish they could do my hair and make up every day!!!
Book them ❤️!
Abby is the best. She did a great job for my elopement make up, just like I wanted and envisioned. Even though, I didn't do a trial for make up or hair. Lynn did a great job with my hair as well. Abby kept in constant communication with me. She will not ghost you. I highly recommend her and I would hire her again for other occasions.
I had a hard time finding hair and makeup for our micro wedding since I just needed HMU for myself and just MU for my mom. Like most vendors, Abby had a min services requirement but was so sweet and flexible and able to work with me. I was so thankful! Andrea was our artist and she was so wonderful and talented. I felt so glam and GORGEOUS on my wedding day. Highly recommend!!
100% BOOK ABBY FOR YOUR WEDDING!!!! Abby and her team were phenomenal for wedding makeup and hair. On my wedding day, I wanted my hair and makeup to look and feel like myself, just a bit more elevated and special. At my trial, my hair and makeup looked even better than I had hoped for! Abby manages to balance being super fun and super detail-oriented. On the morning of my wedding, she had an extremely thorough list of every product she had used for my makeup at my trial, along with any specific requests or concerns I had. We had a great time getting our hair and makeup done with Abby and her team and we absolutely loved how everything looked!
Abby is someone really special, and her business and artistry are equally so. You can rely upon her to make you look and feel beautiful. That’s table stakes. But her ease of being puts you at ease, even if you’re not at home with traditional beauty things (or as I put it, “I’m not good at girling”). She’s accommodating, but please don’t take advantage of her. She’s wise - she sees what you could look like and brings it out. Have I said enough? Because basically, she’s your woman. Do it.
The reviews are true: Abby and Lynn were excellent, and I'd 100% refer them to a friend. If you'd looking for KIND, CALM, and TALENTED artists with great vibes and a can-do attitude, look no further. Both Abby (doing makeup) and Lynn (doing hair) delivered the looks that my bridal party and I requested efficiently and always with a smile. Strong recommendation!
Abby and her team were fantastic! Great energy, beautiful work, and efficient! They were great to be around and got everything done on the day and everyone looked gorgeous! Absolutely loved working with them.
Abby was amazing! She was so patient and listened to everyone's wants and needs. She knows exactly what do do for every type of complexion. My skin was so dry the morning of my wedding and she fixed it! She made me feel so beautiful on my wedding day and it even surpassed my vision of what I could look like. I also now have makeup tips for life!
Abby was a rockstar and someone I could not recommend more highly for any event big or small. When my make up artist bailed on me 3 months before the wedding, I was recommended abby who immediately responded and I could not be more happy that fate stepped in.
Not only was she the perfect personality to work with me and my sister and mom during the weekend, her taste, skill and execution was the perfect amount of what we needed. Make up held all night and she was able to take feedback (barely any needed) based on different likes and dislikes of those getting ready.
Abby made me and those she worked in look like themselves and enhanced their natural features without looking overdone. Abby was incredibly punctual and a pleasure to work with and got along well and work without of hairstylist almost as if they’d known each other for years which is a testament to her demeanor and professionalism.
Abby along with her team Hailey and Lynn were UNREAL! They made us, as the brides, all of our bridesmaids and MOB feel so beautiful, relaxed and confident. Abby and her team made our entire squad look natural but still so glam! Everyone looked stunning and we were so happy with their work. We trusted Abby and her team and they certainly delivered! On top of their artistry they were full of personality and fit right in to our day. Having these three with us while getting ready was wonderful! Abby and her team arrived timely to our venue and kept us on track for getting ready - highly recommend!! Can't wait to visit Abby in her studio for glam in the future!
Superstar vendor alert!!! I don’t have the words to express just how incredible Abby Lauren’s team was. I had Hailey along with Marvin and Kaori doing the hair and makeup for myself and about 12ish other women. They were a dream team.
Rewinding a bit: let me start off by saying that I have really sensitive skin and almost never wear makeup. When I went in for the trial, they were so patient with me and went slowly so we could collectively monitor how my skin was responding to the products. They made me feel so comfortable and taken care of in a moment when I was out of my comfort zone, which was invaluable leading up to and on the wedding day.
They’re also funny and fun and brought great energy! It made getting ready so much more chill and it was the perfect way to start the marathon of a wedding day. ALSO: all my friends said they loved the way they looked (two even asked for their cards because their mothers texted that it was the best wedding hair/makeup they had ever seen on them). And by the end of the night, my makeup STILL looked amazing. I’ll be bummed if I’m getting my hair/makeup done for somebody else’s wedding, and it’s not by the Abby Lauren team. I don’t know what kind of magic this crew possesses, but I want it.
TLDR: I can’t recommend them highly enough!! One of the best vendors we went with BY FAR. They were so easy to communicate and work with from pre-booking to the day-of. For my other sensitive-skin peeps out there, please know that this team will help take care of you and do everything that can to make sure you’re comfortable in your makeup. 100/10.
Abby Lauren Makeup and Hair is good people! Lynn did my wedding day hair + hair for my sister, mom and mother-in-law and everyone was very pleased. Some up-dos, some down—all very pretty!
Leading up to my wedding, Abby was so lovely, accommodating, flexible and organized to work with—communicating with me throughout the planning process. (I ended up doing a second hair trial closer to my wedding because the first trial was before I finalized my dress and so long before my actually wedding date due to a Covid reschedule.) And Lynn was a doll. She's the hype girl you want on your wedding day—equal parts laid back and enthusiastic. You really can't go wrong with Abby and her team!
Look no further! Abby is by far the BEST if you are looking for hair and makeup!! I HIGHLY recommend Abby Lauren Makeup and Hair!!! Abby is the most amazing human and so talented! From the trial to my wedding day, she was there if I had any questions and I felt so comfortable in her hands, I was not worried about one thing. She did hair and makeup for me, my mom and my mother in law and we all could not have been happier! Our hair and makeup lasted all day! We felt beautiful, we felt like ourselves and we all were beyond happy with how we felt and looked. Not to mention we had a BLAST hanging with Abby! She is professional, kind, caring and is a wizard at hair and makeup! I 100% recommend Abby! We love her!!!!!!
Abby is an amazing professional and so much fun to work with. I enjoyed every aspect of working with Abby, from my trial up until the day of. You can tell Abby deeply cares about her clients and making sure they have a great day. Everyone looked amazing (7 bridesmaids + 2 moms) and we had a blast getting ready with the team. Thank you Abby and team!
Abby is the absolute best!! She made me feel so comfortable during my makeup trial and she made it fun at the same time. I showed her a couple screenshots of hair and makeup inspo that I liked and she went above and beyond what I had pictured! She also welcomed and encouraged feedback from the trial and made meticulous notes. On my wedding day, Abby was efficient and super fun to work with. She did hair and makeup for my mom and I and also gave a little touch up kit! My wedding day was rainy and windy and my hair and makeup stayed intact throughout the entire day AND night up until 5 am haha I definitely recommend Abby and I’m looking forward to working with her again for any future events.
Abby and her team are AMAZING! If you're thinking about it, don't waste your time and hire her now! Her and her artist's are extremely talented, Work really fast and are literally the funniest people I've ever met! Thank you for making my big day a dream come true and making me look and feel Beautiful!
We took a long time finding a hair and makeup artist for our wedding because it was such an important part of our wedding day and timeline for us. With two brides, our bridal party was larger than most and we were having a hard time finding a makeup artist and hairstylist that wasn't terrified of two brides and two bridal parties.
Abby didn't bat an eye at how many women we had for hair and makeup and was super confident she could get it done. Aside from the incredible job her team did on our makeup and hair, I need to emphasize how helpful and understanding Abby was leading up to the wedding.
When we had the initial trial, we were incredibly happy with the makeup but were not as enthusiastic about the hair. Abby listened to our concerns and immediately offered us a second trial for free in order to get it right. We did our trial with Andrea and we LOVED it. Andrea ended up doing both of our hairs on the day and was beyond gracious and professional. My hair ended up taking a bit longer than we were scheduled for but she never gave off the impression she was rushing. My hair was probably my favorite part of my wedding because it turned out better than what the trial showed! Additionally, the day before the wedding, I had my one bridezilla moment where I called Abby crying on the phone about extensions. She didn't immediately hang up on me (although I think she should have!) and actually helped me solve my problem and concerns.
Abby and her team are incredibly talented, incredibly knowledgeable about their craft, and are super gracious and kind to boot. We were really impressed with their work and demeanor and I would absolutely be hiring them again for future events. Bottom line...if you want someone who is going to make you feel beautiful and cared for on your wedding day....these ladies are the ones to do it.
Abby is truly a gem. In our more casual, intimate wedding, Abby perfectly executed the look I was going for with hair + makeup, whilst keeping the "getting-ready" vibe fun and enjoyable. Felt very fortunate that the stars aligned for us to work together and and would highly recommend her services.
We could not have asked for a better hair and make-up team for our wedding day! In addition to making everyone look absolutely stunning, Abby and Lynn brought an insane amount of fun and positive energy to our wedding suite. They were super accommodating, and went above and beyond to provide touch ups and tweaks to make sure everyone felt their absolute best. It was a joy to have them with us, and I cannot thank them enough for how beautiful and comfortable I felt throughout the entire day!
Abby and Lynn were both amazing! My makeup and hair came out perfectly. My now wife’s hair was amazing as well. They were so much fun, easy to talk to and made us feel very welcome. I highly recommend Abby and her team. Thank you Ladies!!!
Abby was so easy to work with. She set up an initial call to get to know me and what I was looking for. Everything from setting up the contract to payment was super easy. She followed up with me as the date got closer to help with the schedule.
She was not able to join for my wedding setup but her team was fantastic. Everyone was super happy with the results and we ended all of our hair and makeup services earlier than scheduled.
Overall, amazing!
Abby and her team were fantastic! From my initial contact with Abby, she was incredibly responsive, professional, and easy to chat with. As someone who does not regularly wear makeup, Abby and her team made sure I felt like my best self on my wedding day. For my trial, Abby and Aditi really listened to what I wanted and made great suggestions to help me figure out my exact wedding look. On our actual wedding day, Aditi and Cati made my wedding party and me feel so comfortable and well taken care of! Everyone's hair and makeup looked flawless throughout the whole evening! I'd highly recommend Abby and her team!
Abby was a pleasure to work with! She did an amazing job plus she was a joy to have around! We had so much fun! Would book again in a heart beat!
This team is a MUST HIRE if you want to be surrounded by pure joy!! I knew from the second I got on a call with Abby that she runs an incredibly thoughtful business.
Lynn is so skillful. I showed her my dress and she suggested a gorgeous party pony, which I loved. She was also incredibly gentle with my mom who is losing her hair. We both felt so incredibly beautiful!
Elena is an artist and helped each person feel like an elevated version of themselves! My skin was glowing and all of our looks not only lasted all night but looked beautiful in photos.
Lynn + Elena became part of our family the morning of getting ready. The energy was wonderful and really added to the tone of the day.
I cannot recommend this team enough! They are lovely and really listen to what you want. While I did a trial, this is a team you could work with sight unseen given their level of craft and professionalism.
Abby (makeup) and Lynn (hair) were amazing! Not only were they the friendliest women, but they also put my mind at ease amongst all the chaos right before the wedding. They made my bridesmaids, mothers and me look like super models. My fiancé teared up when he saw me - could not believe his eyes.
We had a lot of movement in our wedding - pictures in the park, ceremony, reception, rain in the beginning and end of the evening, but despite that - my hair and make up held up perfectly. Thank you so much for the outstanding job!
Abby is the actual best makeup artist and human being you could dream of having on your wedding team. She is so talented, dedicated, kind, and fun to be around. She made us all feel so comfortable (even my mom who never wears makeup), listened to our ideas and feedback throughout, and truly made us all look the best we probably ever have or will. She is incredibly skilled and knew exactly how to achieve the looks we all wanted. Stressing out while getting ready is not a thing with Abby. Hanging out with her was so much fun, she had us all laughing and relaxed the whole time. She brings such a cheerful and warm, calm vibe that really sets the tone for your day. From my very first email to her she has been so professional, gracious, accommodating, and quick to reply. I truly can not rave about her enough. Please don't even waste your time looking at other options, Abby is your girl!!
Abby and her team were absolutely fantastic. I have never felt more beautiful in my life, and I truly just enjoyed spending time with Abby too. She brought a fun energy into the "getting-ready" part of our special day. We had Abby stay for until after our wedding ceremony for touch ups, and I truly felt taken care of.
Her team was very accommodating for my change of heart for my hair style and was able to fit me into her busy summer schedule for a second hair trial just a week before my wedding. She also shared makeup tips and took the time to send me a list of all the products she used.
Abby made all of my bridesmaids feel so beautiful - one of my bridesmaids who has been in several weddings said it was the best makeup she ever had. It certainly was for me
I can't wait until I have another local wedding or event to attend so I can hire Abby again!
Abby is the best. She understood exactly what I wanted and knocked it out of the park. She helped make my mom, who is not used to relaxing and getting glam, feel so wonderful. Having a way with parents goes a long way :) My makeup, lashes, and hair (done by Bailey) stayed FLAWLESS all day - my friends even kept commenting on it! Abby is an absolute delight to work with.
I cannot recommend Abby and her team enough! From the *perfect* hair and makeup execution (that literally did not budge on the most humid August day), to the belly laughs shared, I could not be happier with the decision to work with them. Reach out - you won’t regret it!
I loved working with the team from Abby Lauren Makeup and Hair. Abby was incredibly communicative and forthcoming right from the start. She made it so easy to work with her. She is very clear and up front about her policies to keep you and her team safe. I was able to set up a makeup trial with her very quickly. She made sure I worked with the actual team member, Aditi, who would be doing my makeup on my wedding day and Abby was there during the trial to help facilitate the whole process. Both of them listened to what I had envisioned but also made helpful tweaks and suggestions based on their professional experience. I left the trial feeling comfortable and confident. Abby arranged to have Aditi and an additional team member, Hailey, to help do hair and make up for my bridesmaids and family. On my actual wedding day, Aditi and Hailey were absolutely exceptional. They created a schedule for hair and makeup for everyone but were also willing to go with the flow as timing for various things got adjusted. Aditi and Hailey were fun and kind. They got along with our wedding party and the other vendors so well, we all had such a fun morning hanging out together. They worked seamlessly with the whole wedding party accommodating different looks for each person. Everyone felt cared for and heard. Aditi even incorporated notes we discussed via email after my makeup trial. Hailey was especially thoughtful and attentive to my family member with developmental disabilities - she made her feel included and beautiful and for that I am so grateful. I cannot recommend Abby and her team highly enough!
Abby and her team styled my wedding hair and make-up exactly how I'd envisioned. Doing a trial before the wedding day was super helpful - I was able to test run my up-do at another wedding (as a guest) to make sure that it held for the duration of the evening and I got to see how it looked in pictures. For make-up, I loved what Abby did for the trial. I had a couple of small things that I wanted to change for the wedding day and sent some pictures for Abby to reference. Abby is a true expert. She really listened to what I wanted, made suggestions on ways to enhance the look I was trying to achieve, and on the wedding day she totally nailed it. The make-up was a next-level, glowing version of what I'd imagined. Plus, my wedding was in June on a hot day, and even with the sun and some aggressive sweaty dancing, the make-up and hair looked flawless throughout the night. Thank you, Abby!
On top of being incredible at doing makeup, Abby has such a great personality, which is definitely necessary for any vendor you are planning on spending a lot of time with (and especially if you are considering Abby for your wedding or wedding-related events)! I first met Abby about a year ago, and she sent someone from her team to do my makeup for my engagement photos (I had already booked a different makeup artist for my wedding). Since then, we have kept in touch because Abby is genuinely so swee
