Team Lauren was fantastic!! Lauren and her team did an amazing job and they brought great energy the morning of the wedding. Lauren was great to work with. She was communitive and ...
listened to what I wanted for my wedding day. Lauren is also super sweet and so personable! I cannot thank her enough for making me feel beautiful on my wedding day! I highly recommend choosing Abigail Joy Hair and Makeup to be apart of your wedding day!
I booked team Lauren for my August 2023 wedding and could not have been happier! Lauren was absolutely amazing on the morning of my wedding and went above and beyond. She made sure...
everyone felt comfortable and confident with their hair and make up. She put me at ease and even stayed after to make sure my lashes stayed glued on during pictures. She was so easy to communicate with and had a timeline for the morning to make sure we stayed on track. Team Lauren is the way to go!
The Abigail Joy Hair/Makeup team is fantastic! Everyone we worked with on wedding day was professional, on-time, patient, and super sweet! They kept us perfectly on time and made u...
s feel more relaxed. All of my bridesmaids, mothers, and myself loved their hair and makeup. As the bride, I think my makeup looked even better than when we did the trial! My only reason for taking 1 star off is that I wish Lauren would have given a few more suggestions on what looks good on me instead of asking how I usually do my makeup/what colors I use. She did give some helpful feedback but for someone not used to wearing a lot of makeup it was a little daunting. I totally understand that for some brides this may be helpful and reassure them they won't look completely different on their wedding day, but for an indecisive bride, I think it made me a little bit more nervous. I also wish she would have had more options in her hair/makeup kit. Again, I understand most people only use their favorite brands and they can't keep 1 of everything, but if there were things I liked about my normal hair/makeup routine I was told to bring my own which seemed a little odd when you're paying to use their supplies/expertise. I would still recommend hiring either Abigail or Lauren and I did love my wedding day look!
We booked Team Lauren for our wedding and our experience working with Lauren and Abbey was incredible! From the beginning, Abbey was extremely helpful in answering all of my quest...
ions and even set me up with someone on her team to do my hair and makeup for our engagement photos - and that was BEFORE I had even booked her company for our wedding! We booked Team Lauren and working with Lauren was amazing! The trial was so fun and her and her team did amazing work the day of the wedding! Lauren and her team made sure everything ran smoothly and just did an amazing job overall! I highly recommend them! <3

e I had a trial well in advance of the wedding so that we were prepared day of. They made adjustments based on feedback and were so easy to work with. Lauren and Michelle were punctual, kind, good listeners, and very talented. I would highly recommend this HMUA team for your big day!

Abbey and her team were AMAZING!! Abbey is so much fun to work with, and really made my vision come to life! She took the (very minimal) feedback I gave from the trial to create my...
bridal look that was even better than I could have ever imagined. And the best part - my hair & makeup still looked FLAWLESS at the end of the night, even with a very windy day! I was honestly so sad to take my hair down and wipe my makeup off. Abbey truly loves what she does, and it shows through her incredible work. You will not regret choosing her for your wedding day!
For our wedding, we worked with Lauren and Michelle, and they were amazing. They did hair and makeup for myself, my three bridesmaids, and my mother, and we all looked so wonderful...
! They were very open to feedback and helped me to look exactly as I'd always imagined, even though I don't have the first idea about hair and makeup. Also, my updo held up and was still intact after eight hours of twirling, jumping, dancing, and head-banging at the reception.
If I could give Abbey and her team of artists more than 5 stars then I absolutely would! Besides her immense talent with both hair and makeup, she is also incredibly kind and sweet...
. She truly listened to the vision that I had for my wedding day hair and makeup, and I could not be happier with how she transformed me into the best version of myself!
I worked with Team Lauren from Abigail Joy. Lauren was AMAZING. She made me feel so comfortable and beautiful on my wedding day. I knew my bridesmaids and moms were in good hands. ...
I don't wear alot of make up on the regular and Lauren did such an amazing job with helping me make choices where I felt confident and beautiful! Her team was so sweet and accommodating. My mom was in a wheelchair and they made her feel so special going above and beyond to accommodate her physical needs and help her get ready in her wheelchair. I could not recommend them more!!
Abbey and her team did an amazing job on my wedding day!! Abbey is seriously sweet and easy to work with. She took the time to listen and executed perfectly. I do not wear a lot of...
makeup normally, and she made me look like an elevated version of myself. I was completely obsessed with my hair on my wedding day - it was exactly what I was hoping for! Our timeline was a little condensed, but she worked with me and made sure everything came together on time. My mom and all my bridesmaids looked beautiful too!! The team was just awesome and set a great tone for the day.

Abigail & Joy and her team are phenomenal!! I was personally very nervous for hair & makeup, but they did an incredible job and I've never felt prettier. The H&MU seriously lasted ...
all day through windy weather & dancing and every single one of my bridemaids LOVED IT! The moms & even my grandma got H&MU too and it was perfect and age appropriate. Her team is as friendly and as professional as they come - everyone was so positive and they not only did they do amazing work, they were on time and kept us on schedule. The makeup was a perfect blend of natural glam and no matter the hair style requested, they executed flawlessly. If you're looking for a H&MU team for your wedding - Abigail Joy & Team are it!! We are so happy and I'll forever be thankful to them.
Let me just say that Lauren is not only absolutely talented with hair and makeup, but she's also just a warm-hearted and friendly person to have by your side for a wedding. During ...
my trial she went above and beyond to make sure I LOVED my look and also helped me transition from my trial hair to loose curls for my engagement shoot that evening. And during the day of my wedding, Lauren and her team were flexible and patient when we had to rearrange the schedule. By the time they finished, my maid of honor was asking how to book them for her wedding. Lauren and the whole team were an absolute dream to work with. I highly recommend!!!
Lauren and her team were amazing! I really enjoyed working with Lauren as we were planning things- she was professional, clearly communicated details with me and is such a kind, wa...
rm person.
The day of the wedding, they ended up finished early while being down a stylist (they were the most efficient!), and my bridesmaids looked stunning. My makeup even looked good at the end of the night, which was a miracle since I'm hot-natured.
Overall, I can't recommend them more highly, and I can't wait to find an excuse to have Lauren do my makeup again!
Abbey and her team were absolutely AMAZING. Abbey is so organized and knows how to be efficient and stick to a timeline (my bridal party has been through many weddings and we have ...
NEVER had hair and makeup go so smoothly). She is so detail oriented and talented- she made me feel like a princess! Not to mention she has the sweetest personality. It is so important to have such a wonderful, calming person take care of you on your wedding day. Thank you Abbey for everything!

y when she did my hair for a wedding I was in. I fell in love with her personality and her attention to detail. She truly loves her job and it shows! Abbey will make sure that your makeup is set and that every hair is in place before you walk away. Her trials are through and truly will try as many looks/ variations you need until you are happy with your look. She hits it out of the park every time! My makeup and hair were so amazing for both of my weddings that I did not want to take it down or take my makeup off. I can't wait to finds an excuse to use her in the future!
Abbey was recommended to me by a friend in the industry, and I'm so happy we connected for my wedding hair and make up, and the bridal party hair and make up! Abbey is the sweetest...
and has a very calm and cool presence about her, and it really made for a very stress free morning while getting ready for the wedding.

I absolutely loved working with Abbey for my wedding! Not only was my makeup was absolutely flawless throughout a long day but it was made even better by getting to spend time with...
such a joy-filled, professional, and gifted makeup artist. Abbey was easy to communicate with, always punctual, a gifted listener, and deeply genuine. During our trial session she asked helpful questions as I figured out what I was wanting and had great suggestions along the way. She was a calm, easy-going and fun presence on what could have been an otherwise stressful morning of my wedding.
It was a gift getting to know and work with Abbey and I would highly recommend her and her team to anyone looking for a hair and makeup artist! Thank you for everything, Abbey!

If you are looking for a light/airy but full coverage look Abbey is the makeup artist for your. Our wedding was in the full blown heat of the summer (100 degree weather) and my face felt fresh all day during photos and lasted all throughout our ceremony/reception without any issues.
