There aren't enough positive words in the dictionary to express just how wonderful, amazingly talented, and perfect Ann and her team are. I found Ann after a series of horrible make-up trials - I was in my last year of law school studying for finals, getting ready for a move, raising a new puppy, and also planning a wedding for 150 of our closest friends and family in another city. I was almost about to give up when I came across All Brides, and more specifically, Ann. All I can say is WOW - I was in tears after seeing just how beautiful she made feel and look both during my trial and my wedding day!
Ann is more than just an exceptional makeup artist and hair stylist - she is a therapist, a hype woman, and your go to for anything related to beauty! For me to be able to really explain just how amazing she is, requires that I provide some context as to what she was up against: Ann and her team got all of my 8 bridesmaids, both my mother and mother-in-law, a flower girl, as well as myself ready for my wedding in 4.5 hours. Each and every single girl/woman was given full attention - their complexion, idiosyncratic needs and desires, ethnic diversity, and most importantly, creative desires were given FULL consideration. The bridesmaids ranged from backgrounds from all over the world, including: German, Jewish, Middle Eastern, South Asian, and Anglo-American. How is it possible for someone to be able to make every single girl feel like it was just wasn't just about the bride on this special day, but about every single one of them? Well, leave it up to Ann because she is honestly a magician!
For me, as the bride, the most important thing was that this day was shared with my bridesmaids, my mother and mother-in-law - Ann was the driving force behind why my wedding day was as special as it was!
Her talent is unparalleled, her patience and kindness is simply unbelievable, and lastly, her ability to make you feel and look like a princess on your special day is unlike anything I have ever experienced before. If you still haven't booked a makeup artist/hair stylist, you really do not have to look any further.
Thank you Ann for making a girl's dreams come true!
