I used Team Lauren and she was the sweetest and best team to work with!! She was extremely organized and during the trial made any changes and adjustments. Her natural glam style was perfect and she was amazing at hair!
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 us 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 questions 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
Abbey and her team are so amazing! She made me look and feel so beautiful on my wedding day! Abbey is professional and knew how to highlight my features with the makeup she did. I know the rest of my family and bridesmaids who also got their hair and makeup done by her team felt beautiful as well. I highly recommend booking Abbey for your wedding!
We had Lauren and Michelle for myself (bride), the bridesmaids, and the moms. They did a beautiful job and everyone was so pleased with their hair and makeup looks. Lauren made sure 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!
I booked Abie and her team after being so impressed by them after they did my hair at a wedding I was in. Let me tell you, they did not disappoint the second time ether! Abigail was so communicative and helpful throughout the entire processes. Abigail and her team were on time, overwhelming sweet, and amazing hair and makeup artist to top it off. I highly recommended them to anyone and everyone!
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.
I worked with Lauren for my wedding day hair and makeup and she was great! Made my hair and makeup vision dreams come true. She was also so sweet to work with during the trial and day off! Would definitely recommend her.
Lauren was awesome to work with! She and Kenzie made my bridesmaids and I feel so pretty on my wedding day! She is so personable, patient and helpful…especially when I was struggling with how I wanted my hair to look. Would definitely recommend this great team to any bride!
Lauren did my hair and makeup for my elopement. She was so helpful and flexible and so easy to be around. My hair and makeup were exactly what I wanted!
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, warm 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!
If you are reading this, book Abbey! Her and her team are absolutely incredible! She is detail oriented and puts so much care and effort into your hair and makeup. I first met Abbey 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. Her team of girls were all very easy going, fun, professional and my bridesmaids and the mothers looked stunning! I would absolutely recommend Abbey for bridal hair and make up! Thanks again Abbey!
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!
Abbey and her team were so sweet and calm the morning of my wedding! I enjoyed the start of my day so much and a lot of it was due to her and her team. I highly recommend her to any bride!
Abby and her team did my bridal party makeup and we could not have had a better experience. The girls were fun and easy to get along with, and everyone looked great!
Abigail and team were AMAZING, as I expected after my trial run with her! Abigail and team did incredible given time constraints, but did not make me feel rushed in the slightest. Everyone that got hair and or makeup done, looked naturally beautiful (all day and night) and I couldn't have asked for more! If I could do my wedding all over again, there are quite a few things I would change; Abigail is not one, as I would choose her time and time again!!!!
I cannot say enough great things about working with Abbey. Booking Abbey to do my hair and makeup for the wedding day was one of the best decisions that I made. I was looking for someone who would be willing to work with my natural curls and she gladly accepted the “challenge.”
She is dependable and is such a kind soul. She makes you feel comfortable and listens to your requests. I would definitely book her and her team for any future hair and makeup needs and recommend her to anyone needing a hair and makeup artist.
Abbey and her team were the main reason my wedding morning went so smoothly! She put together a perfect timeline, and everyone was ready and looking gorgeous with time to spare. They were so genuine and so much fun while getting me and my bridesmaids ready for the day. The products Abbey used were high quality, and my makeup looked great through dancing, happy tears, and even some rain. I looked like the best version of myself with the way Abbey did my makeup! If you’re considering booking Abigail Joy for hair and/or makeup- 100% do it!
I cannot recommend Abbey and her team enough! Abbey did the most amazing job of making me feel so special and the most beautiful for my wedding day - every bride's dream! There was even a minor disaster including a curling iron burn I had given myself the night before that she was able to fully cover to take away all of my worries of having our photos/videos tainted by the blemish. 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. I cannot thank Abbey enough for her wonderful service and true joy in helping me feel my best on my best day!
Not only Abbey is talented at what she’s doing, she’s also the nicest wedding vendor you’ll ever meet. Abbey did my hair & makeup on my wedding day and I just love love it so much!! It was everything I asked for but even better. My hair & makeup stayed through the night. I’ve got compliments the whole day. Abbey and her team also did a great job on the moms & bridal party.
She’s also so much fun to be around. I feel so comfortable around her and knowing that I can trust her.
She also went above and beyond just hair & makeup artist. We were struggling to bustle my dress and Abbey jumped in right away to help!! I’m so grateful for her and everything she did for me on my wedding day. You’ll not be disappointed!
I had an amazing experience with Abbey!! She was hired for my bridal makeup and a handful of bridesmaids/family makeup. Every time I was with her, she made me feel like a good friend. She’s incredibly professional.
I was instantly impressed by her professionalism. When I booked her services for my June wedding, her website, packages, and payment options were user-friendly and easy to understand. She was so kind and personable during my trial run and really took the time to understand what I wanted. The day of the wedding her and her assistant were punctual and did a fantastic job! They were both so efficient to get through 10 ladies on time. I would highly recommend Abigail Joy HMUA for any special occasion!
Abbey is so sweet and SO talented!! My hair and makeup was perfect, and she listened to everything I had pictured for my day. She also had makeup and hair products for all different skin tones and hair types! I cannot recommend her enough!
Abigail and her associate did hair and makeup for myself, bridesmaids, mother of the bride, flower, and mother of the groom. We all loved the results and everything was done in perfect time. Highly recommend.
Abbey did my hair & makeup on our wedding day in late March. Not only Abbey is talented, but she's also very fun to be working with. I was initially worried about finding a makeup artist because I don't want it to look too heavy, but I fell in love with my makeup during the trial right away. I even love her playlists and our conversations were so much fun!! She listened and made sure that I am happy with everything. I've got so many compliments that day and our pictures look perfect. I couldn't be any happier!!
Abigail, Suzy, and Claire were our stylists and they were phenomenal! I loved my trial and was even more in love with how I looked on my wedding day! They were so fun and easy to work with! Out of all our vendors I have to say these girls were our favorite and we would definitely recommend them to everyone!! Definitely worth every cent! I cannot say enough good things!
Abbey is a blessing on earth!! When I had trouble with a past hair stylist, Abbey was quick to respond and schedule a trial with me. Not only did I LOVE what she did to my hair, she also worked with me on the schedule for my wedding day. I have never looked so good in my life thanks to Abbey. She is a hard worker and a sweet soul, I really enjoyed the time I spent with her, prepping for my wedding. Getting my hair done with Abbey was the first thing I did on my wedding day, and she definitely helped set me up to be calm and happy the rest of the day!
Abigail Joy was one of the best decisions I made for my bridal look! I have had many good and bad experiences with professional makeup that I knew I needed to find the right artist for my wedding day. Abbey was just that and more! She is so incredibly friendly and made me feel like we've known each other prior to this. She was also super attentive about the details of the look I was going for, always asking for my opinion before moving forward. Abbey made me feel like the most beautiful bride and I cannot thank her enough! Highly highly recommend!
Abbey is just amazing! She is so sweet and fun, which is great to have around on your big day. I love her style of make up and she makes sure you get exactly what you are looking for. I am so glad I chose her to do my hair and make up... I loved mine so much. She makes a point to make sure her brides look like themselves, but still feel glammed up. I loved the natural, but beautiful make up her and her team did on my party. Abbey went the extra mile and stayed with me until my flowers arrived so she could pin them in my hair. Just the sweetest!
Words can’t even explain how happy I am I chose Abigail for my wedding day. She was attentive in my trial to make it exactly what I wanted and it was even better than that on my big day! She made my mom and mother in law feel absolutely beautiful and her partner did a phenomenal job on my bridesmaids’ hair. All of our hair stayed perfect for the entire night! I’m so happy.
Abigail did my hair and several of my bridesmaids’ hair and make up on my wedding day. Not only did she do a fantastic job and I was absolutely obsessed with my hair, but she is the sweetest person to work with. We definitely loved having her in the bridal suite on the morning of!
Abigail did my hair for my wedding in September. She was so easy to work with, friendly, well-priced, responsive, and an amazing stylist! I have a ton of hair, and it’s both thick and frizzy. She was able to smooth it out perfectly and match my inspiration pictures. She took her time and was a perfectionist. Absolutely recommend!
