Fairytales and Brides Makeup Artistry & Hair Design

ledgable, and fun to work with. They listened to each of our ideas, concerns, and wants, and were able to personalize all of our hair and makeup. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THEM!!!!

e bridal party came out so beautiful and We continuously received compliments all through the night. Everything held up through all my tears. It’s especially helpful that Fairytales & Brides provides both make up and hair on site, so you are only dealing with one vendor & paying one travel fee. Love these ladies and would recommend them to any bride!

ing else. She did a beautiful job with the airbrush makeup that matched my skin perfectly with a nice natural finish. The lash extensions look full and natural and add a pop without looking fake or tacky. I can't wait to show off my makeup and the hair do of my dreams for my big day! On top of all of this, the pricing is extremely reasonable and they work wonderfully with large bridal parties like mine, 12 girls! Thank you!!!!

I felt more then confident that she understood exactly what I was looking for . We touched bases here and there prior and the night before we reviewed . Krystal and Dania arrived a couple minutes ahead of time and were great . Thank you ladies for all your services for myself , mom, maid of honor and nice.

ng day and finished by 10:15 am! Gaby was easy to get in touch with prior to my wedding and was very quick to respond! When it came to the wedding day, all 4 makeup artists and hair stylists arrived promptly at 6 am and started setting up, efficiently doing everyone's beautiful hair and makeup! The 4 stylists/artists (2 hair stylists and 2 makeup artists) were able to accommodate 8 messy buns, 2 day-of hair designs (didn't know what they wanted ahead of time), and my hair, as well as beautiful makeup for everyone! Rebecca did my hair and makeup for my trial and wedding day and she is AMAZING!!! I am so thankful to them for making my wedding day so memorable!

cision to use Fairytales & Brides.

eased when I spoke to Gaby, she reassured me she could do not only my hair and make up but 3 bridesmaids and 2 mothers as well. My morning was a little disorganized as not all of my bridesmaids and mothers were there on time. This set the schedule a little back but the ladies made it happen. They had 16 services all together and some how we we're on time! It was supposed to be 12 and of course other's wanted to add on to their work load. The ladies were amazing!!!! I am a little indecisive and especially with not having a trial I wasn't sure what to do with my hair. She was absolutely wonderful and tried 3 separate buns until I found the perfect one! I am so greatful to have had such a patient and understanding person to do my hair!!!!! The same goes for makeup, I had a brief idea and she had no problem recreating my jumbled words in to a work of art on my face! I feel so blessed to have these girls as a part of my day! They made me feel like a true bride! I really wished I remember their names in order to give them a proper thank you. I spoke to Gaby several times as she is the owner of the business, but she doesn't stay to do hair or makeup. She brings her team in and leaves. Which is totally fine, it's just the reason I can't remember the girl's names. I am extremely happy with them and their work. I recommend them whole heartedly, these girls are rock stars!!!!!

in the middle of summer in New Orleans. Gabby and her team went above and beyond while taking care of everyone. They were professional and great conversationalist. They listened to my vision and brought it to life. I cannot thank them enough for being such a big part of our day!

looked FABULOUS and our makeup and hair lasted and looked fresh despite having an outdoor ceremony in 90 degrees and humidity. They also created a look for me that was exactly as I described. I felt and looked great! I'd recommend these folks to any bride in a heartbeat!

t choice, which she was. Leading up to the wedding, we had a lot of email and text communication since we were coming from Las Vegas about what to expect and to make sure everyone was on time. Another thing I liked about Gaby was how affordable was since I had a bigger wedding party getting their hair and makeup done. Her team was also very sweet and gentle with the little girls, which sometimes can be a challenge since they can be wiggly. I am truly appreciative of Gaby and her team and would recommend her to anyone getting married in New Orleans.

- the lashes they use were unbelievably light and comfortable.

to get 11 of us ready on the big day in a timely fashion without feeling rushed. Her team was so efficient, kind, and talented!!! Everyone looked great!!! Their pricing is reasonable and the outcome remarkable!!

y good at either, and I’ve had several bad experiences with professionally done hair and makeup in the past, which made me a bit apprehensive. I am also very fair-skinned and worried about looking washed out in the white dress. I explained all this to girl who did my trial, and she was very patient and friendly with me. She put me completely at ease and took her time with the trial, which lasted more like two hours rather than the one I expected. She also took a lot of notes so that what we settled on could be replicated on the big day. Gaby called me the week before the wedding to go over details. She told me that if I needed anything at all to call or text her. She was very sweet and treats you like a sister. The day-of went as smoothly as the trial. The team of three women arrived hours before our “ready time” so that they didn’t have to rush with anyone. If someone wanted a change or adjustment to their hair or makeup, they were happy to do it. It was extremely important to me that everyone felt comfortable and natural, and Fairytales and Brides made that happen. The hair and makeup lasted all night, which was a first for me. Finally, their prices are wonderful, which cannot be underestimated after everyone has bought a dress and shoes for your wedding. I’m so grateful to Gaby and her team for making me beautiful and confident on my wedding day!

wedding and everyone felt absolutely beautiful. Would recommend in a heartbeat!

everything. They are very professional and friendly, Gaby made sure I got what I wanted. Rebecca took her time and paid close attention to every little detail. She did an amazing job on my hair, and makeup she did exactly what I wanted and made me feel fabulous. Same for the other 2 girls. Thank to Gaby and especial to Rebecca who did the job for us. It was a great experience. And very glad I got what I asked for. Thank you again.

of questions beforehand and listened to my vision, and really understood the look I was going for. I had no complaints and the price was comparable if not more affordable than others I'd researched. I highly recommend them!

ilable for what I needed. Rebecca did an amazing job and I got a ton of compliments on both my hair and make up. But beyond that, Rebecca’s service was top notch, I had missed lunch due to an overly busy day at work. After hearing my tummy grumble. She stopped working and handed me a bar so that I could be comfortable while she worked on me. That is above and beyond customer service! She was easy to talk to and very efficient and timely !

as a bride trying to decide if you should book Gaby and Fairytales Brides my advice is both yes and no. Why Yes? Even though I gave this business two starts quality of hair and make up was wonderful, and the price was very reasonable. I requested services for myself and my four bridesmaids as well as my mom. We all wanted both hair and make up done. So that was 12 services. Two make up stylist and one hair stylist came to our hotel about 4 hours before we wanted to be finished getting ready. They were all wonderful, efficient, creative, and did an excellent job on both our hair and make up. They showed up early and got right down to business. I was especially happy because I didn't really know what I wanted for my hair and make up and they all helped me pick something perfect. Why No? OK so the reason I only gave this business two starts all stems from how Gaby herself handled her contract with me. On her website she advertised that if you book 12 services the brides make up is free, AND the bride gets a free consultation. As a gift to me my bridesmaids all decided to get double services just help me get a free consultation and makeup. So I signed a contract and send it our deposit of $100. Time went buy, I sent some emails to Gaby with pictures of my dress and my bridesmaids dresses but no response from her. Then three days before the wedding I arrive in New Orleans and text her about my free consultation. She responds that it will cost me $55. I then remind her that no, in fact I had booked 12 services with her and that she herself said my make up and consultation would be free. By this time I miss all opportunity to get my free consultation because between dress rehearsals, dinner rehearsals, meetings with the photographer, venue people, and caterer there was now no time in my schedule to receive a consultation to figure out what my hair and make up were going to look like. I have to tell you I was pretty unhappy the day before my wedding with no idea what I was going to do with my hair and make up. The last thing that really bothered me was that I had been under the impression that Gaby herself was coming along with her team of people. But actually she never showed up. Thankfully for her the people she sent were wonderful, and I am sure did a better job that she would have. So if you are a bride on a budget planning a wedding from across the world be ware! Fairytales and Brides is probably not for you. But if you are willing to deal with Gaby and really be on her about the schedule and information, I would say that her team does a wonderful job, and as far as budget goes it was a good deal. Though even now I am not sure it was worth all the stress.

ing I knew, I was all booked for a trial and for the day. On the day of the trial, I went to meet up with Rebecca, one of the hair and makeup stylists. She glamed me up so wonderfully and everyone said I was glowing in my bridals. The day of the wedding, they showed up early so they can set up and take their time on everyone. Here is where their service really glowed! My mom wasn't too sure about her hair, so Gaby patiently worked with her to get the exact look she wanted. Also, one of my bridesmaids is special needs and they accommodated her perfectly! Rebecca came in that day and did her magic again. I got so many compliments on my hair and makeup all evening. I really felt like a queen. Everyone's hair and makeup kept up all night, and we were all moving, hugging, and putting on hats for the photobooth. Bonus: my curls kept until the next day! But seriously, I would recommend and have them glam me up again any day!

anized and kept track of all of the notes from my hair and make up trial and kept track of all of the various looks I sent her in advance for my bridal party. Her team is extremely sweet and pleasant to work with and her prices so reasonable! They are extremely professional and were always early and completely prepared for us with make up and all equipment laid out and ready to go. She also got our group ready on time and always stuck to the schedule. She was also very flexible and able to accommodate some last minute additions and did so with a smile! Finally, we were all very happy with how the hair and make up actually looked :) I highly recommend Fairytales & Brides!

ng much. Gaby was so easy to work with and responsive to all my questions, it was really calming. I had never had my makeup professional done before so I was very nervous about this. Rebecca was so great with my hair and make up trial, she did such an amazing job and made me feel really at ease with the whole process. I relied on her a lot for suggestions and ideas, and she was great, professional and honest when giving them to me. I had a broad idea of what I wanted done with my hair, Rebecca took that idea and turned it into a beautiful hairstyle which was way prettier than the idea I had. The day of my wedding was a bit chaotic due to some other issues, Rebecca and the other girls handled it like complete professionals. They were on time and very efficient with getting everyone's hair and make up done despite the chaos going on around them. Again, Rebecca did an amazing job with my hair and makeup, everyone commented on how great it was. It lasted the whole night without any glitches or issues. I am so happy to of worked with Fairytales and Brides, they were part of making my day so beautiful!!

stefully applied. Gaby arrived on site as scheduled with 2 hairstylists and 2 makeup artists and remained on location with us throughout our appointment. This styling experience produced my most favorite updo hairstyle of my life! We have rebooked with Gaby and her staff for 2 more events. Thank you Fairytales & Brides for making us feel like Royalty!

ake-up and hair! I don't typically wear make-up & Rebecca was thoughtful and open to all that I asked for & able to give me amazing make-up!! I felt so comfortable despite not usually wearing make-up! She is super talented & made me look better than I thought I could! She also gave me beautiful curls!! Most of all, all of the ladies were sweet and fun to hang out with while getting these services!!

to our hotel room on time and ready to work. Everything was very efficient and we all looked AMAZING. I can't say enough about how great it was. I asked to look natural but with just a little extra and they delivered. Thank you so much for everything, I can't wait for our pictures to come in to see how great we all looked.

d make up done quickly. I absolutely loved my make up and hair!!! My bridesmaids loved their's as well! Crystal and Kelsea did my hair and make up and were both awesome!! Gaby was easy to communicate with and she made me feel very comfortable! I would definitely recommend them!

he girls did an excellent job and helped keep me calm during what was somewhat of a chaotic morning. I highly recommend them!!

ists were amazing, providing us with two hairdos (including my bridal up-do), six faces of makeup, and one extensive tattoo coverup in about 2.5 hours. Even despite our late start, my bridesmaids, mom, and I all looked beautiful and were ready ahead of the photographer's schedule. All of the ladies were kind, fun, and calm - something I desperately needed at a time when my stress level was in overdrive. I would HIGHLY recommend Gaby and her team for any upcoming event!

e and I just loved her entergy so much!!! Thank you sooo much Gabby, YOUR TEAM IS A DREAMMMMMMM!

after our trial run I was IN LOVE, obsessed! The day of my wedding Gabby and her team were puntual even early! They worked quickly and payed attention to every detail. Every single girl in my bridal party looked STUNNING! I have never looked as beautiful as the way they made me look. The makeup had some serious staying power too, it looked flawless even right before I washed it off! Our hair also stayed in place through out the whole night, all of the girls hair looked amazing! I am so happy I choose Gaby and her team for my special day, I couldn't be more grateful for how special her and her team made us feel! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!

moved it back before leaving)! Everyone was so respectful & helpful to me & my wedding party! They asked before leaving if anyone needed anything & offered a helping hand! They even left us some extra bobbipins in case we needed them! Our hair & makeup stayed all night long! We danced, had an after party & I STILL had makeup on the morning after! Would definitely recommend Fairytales & brides to anyone in need of services on their most important day!

me feel fabulous. Gaby and her team did a fabulous job on everyone in my party, they were all very pleased. I would highly recommend them for your hair and makeup service for your special day or any other day that is special to you. Thanks so much team!!

e most important unfortunately. As you can imagine, how you look on your wedding day is vital to how you feel about the day since those pictures are ones you will look back on forever. Gaby, unfortunately, made absolutely no effort to provide what I requested for my hair. She was so remiss that she did not even share the pictures I sent to her with the one stylist she brought to do my wedding party of 6. Her stylist indicated how sorry she was that she was not skilled in the style I wanted and indicated if Gaby had provided her with the pictures, she would have practiced to make sure I would have gotten what I asked for. Instead, her boss left her before even starting on my hair because she booked another appt. a couple of hours into the 4 hour time frame she said she would be working with my party. As you can imagine, I was really disappointed when I ended up with spiral curls when I had requested and sent pictures of the old Hollywood glamor look. I felt awful for the stylist Gaby left high and dry when she tried contacting Gaby for assistance without my prompting and her boss would not come to address the situation. Her stylist apologized for her boss and we assured her that understood she was blindsided. I let her know that my hairstylist recommended that I send pictures beforehand because it may require something more than just a regular curling iron but that she obviously did not know and I did not blame her for not being prepared. I texted her boss immediately to let her know how disappointing it is that she did not even share the pictures. She said she was sorry and that she told her big curls but that it was a very difficult style. I let her know if her team could not do it, she should have let me know. When I followed up by email and received the following inconsistent response, I was shocked: "...I was there to supervised every single service , made plenty of changes as everyone requested and my team was excellent....I spoke with Crystal after the wedding , and she was extremely upset about how she was treated and disrespected . The pictures in fact were provided to hair in advance and she told you that , unfortunately your hair texture and length of your hair was not fit to do that hairstyle ,and you did not take that in consideration....After Crystal felt embarrassed and disrespected , and knew you didn't care what she had to say ,she just let you and your bridal party assumed it was our fault, because trying to explain to you that your hair was not fit to create that style would just make her feel worst ...She went home crying because she felt disrespected and abused because of the comments and things everyone was saying to her....We take a lot of pride in our work , and I feel terrible when my employees are abused and insulted because a bride has unrealistic expectations , even when her own hair stylist told her ." Needless to say, not being able to provide the service is one thing but being dishonest and not owning up to your mistake is quite another. In all of the times I have had my hair and makeup done, I have always been pleased. Blaming a client's hair shows a real lack of professionalism and accountability. Do yourself a favor and stay away.

e were ready. I’m a little obsessive about punctuality, so I love that these girls not only arrived early, but they were super structured when it came to setting up separate stations for hair and makeup and making sure that everything went smoothly. They got through 13 of us and ended right on time when the photographer arrived! My hair and makeup stayed on perfectly all day and night. They truly made me look flawless, and the pictures from the wedding were just further reassurance! My bridesmaids, my mom, and mother-in-law looked gorgeous and could not have been happier with their hair and the airbrush makeup application. I highly recommend Gaby and team! Thanks so much!

yed on all day and night. Through tons of pictures and dancing the makeup looked flawless on myself and all of my bridal party. My updo stayed the entire night. I can’t tell you how many compliments I got. If you’re looking for stress-free wedding day hair and makeup that looks like you spent hundreds on at the salon, Fairytales and Brides is the place for you.

small issue with my hairspray and Gaby jumped in to save the day! Beautiful looks for all ages that stayed on our faces ALL NIGHT! Impressive! Highly Recommend!

pictures as proof. Not something you want to leave to just anyone. Gaby talked through everything with me. She put my mind at ease, gave me some pointers to make the day go easier, and helped me before the event. And it was the greatest gift she could have given me on The Biggest Day. Gaby and her team came to us and made our Wedding Day PERFECT! They are talented, caring, prompt, and incredible to work with. They listened to all of us, knew how to bring our vision to life and executed it FLAWLESSLY. I would HIGHLY recommend Gaby and her team to any bride! Book them Immediately!!!!

to assure us it would not be a problem - and they were right. Hair, makeup, and lashes were done with great efficiency and comfort, even in a slightly cramped hotel room. You could not possibly go wrong with Fairytales and Brides. Thank you, Gaby and team, for helping to make my sister's destination wedding extra special; the rave reviews you receive are well deserved. And wow I wish I still had those lashes!

en more special! I will definitely send you pics when i download everything!

rial and my hair the day of the she is a true gem (LOVED HER)! I had 11 people total getting hair and makeup done and the team had everyone done within 4 hours. It did rain the day of the wedding, but the best part is that all of our hair styles stayed and no one's makeup came off! I BEYOND recommend Gaby and her team. They are so sweet, funny, open and accommodating to what each person wants and for a bride (who is already a little tense with nerves on her wedding day), this is the team that you want to have with you on that day! Thank you ladies - yall are awesome!!

professionally and honestly it was the first time I have had my makeup done by another professional and liked it. I'm very picky and was so impressed with her artistry. They offer airbrush, which is very important in this Louisiana humidity, my makeup looked flawless ALL NIGHT! Once of my favorite things about this vendor was how they handled the money. They did not accept payment until AFTER, and also charged individually. That is so much better than charging me before and then asking my bridesmaids to pay me back and try to keep track of everything on a day that is hectic already. Their prices are very competitive and affordable. I would recommend this company a million times!

ndly! I would absolutely recommend them for your wedding!

aby made me!!!! It brought tears to my husband's eyes. I highly recommend her!

h Gaby a number of times prior to flying into NOLA and then spending an afternoon with Rebecca, all my doubts were gone. I arrived a few days before my wedding and had a trial run with Rebecca for both hair and makeup. She listened as I explained the look I wanted and she nailed it! I was also able to enjoy the hair and makeup that evening while out with my husband, which was a great bonus too. Gaby, Rebecca and their team arrived on time the day of the wedding and the afternoon was relaxing and stress-free with a lot of laughter! The entire bridal party's make and hair were completed an hour early, which gave us time to relax, get dressed and be ready for when the photographer arrived. All of the ladies looked amazing and were very happy with their hair and makeup. The airbrush makeup and lashes lasted all night and into the next day, which was fantastic. I would highly recommend Fairytales and Brides to any bride or for a formal function. It was an absolute pleasure working with Gaby and Rebecca, and since I am in New Orleans a few times a year, I will definitely have them pamper me again in the future. "Stunning!!" was a compliment I heard frequently that evening, so I would like to say a huge "Thank You" to Rebecca for helping me look extra beautiful for my special day.

gest sweethearts I've ever had the pleasure of meeting. From now on I will use them for everything from weddings to those dreaded drivers license pictures. Five stars! Top notch!

hose who already knew what they wanted. The entire tear was friendly and professional, arriving on time and prepared. I couldn't have been happier with the final results and would recommend this team to anyone!

the picture). My Maid of Honor was up for whatever would look nice, and they did an excellent job with her make up too! Gaby and Becca were both super friendly, approachable and helpful - I couldn't have asked for better service! By the time they were done, I really did feel like a fairytale princess!

air after the second line! I'd definitely recommend their hair and makeup services to any bride.

nd all of my last-minute changes! Gaby is so flexible and easy to work with. She and her team made the whole "getting ready" part fun and stress free. I highly recommend Fairytales and Brides Artistry & Hair Design! Wonderful service AND more than fair pricing! THANK YOU SO MUCH GABY & HER TEAM! I loved working with you!

yle with soft curls and natural makeup, which looked amazing in the outdoor photos I took around the French Quarter. For the wedding, Gaby and her talented team of stylists created beautiful evening looks for me and my bridesmaids to go with the glitz and glamour of the Roosevelt hotel. The stylists (two doing hair and two doing makeup) were courteous and happy to make any changes until we were all satisfied, and had no problem working with our different hair lengths and skin tones. As other reviewers have mentioned, they are also very efficient, and were able to have me, four bridesmaids, one mother, and a flower girl (who was added on at the last minute), ready within four hours. The noon start time was great, because we could sleep in and enjoy a much more relaxed day! The airbrush makeup and individual eyelashes lasted through the night, and even into the early morning hours spent on Bourbon Street :-) I highly recommend Fairytales and Brides!

h was just plain awesome!! She curled the girls' hair & then did mine. None of us had much of an idea what we wanted, except for curls, but she ran with it and did an amazing job. We were all just thrilled. The girls were taking selfies and had them up on facebook before I knew it. The little one fought so hard against taking a shower the next day because she wanted to keep her curls :) I also wanted to thank Rebecca for her patience with me regarding makeup. As someone who rarely wears much, I thought I wanted to go full on glam for the wedding. She did a great job with the airbrush and didn't bat an eye when I freaked out a little over how much makeup I had on. She smiled and removed it, then went with the basics, which looked AMAZING and lasted all day & then some. I was so relieved that she made the change of plans so simple! Her professionalism and calm demeanor made a fantastic day even better by getting off to a great, and beautiful start!

cate and gorgeous. I have a tremendous amount of hair. The stylist took 3 hours to complete it, but when it was done, it was exactly what I wanted. I received so many compliments on my hair that night. My makeup and hair was everything I had hoped for and more. Also, my mother, mother in law, bridesmaids and flower girl all got their hair done and that looked great. Everyone got exactly what they asked for and looked fabulous. The stylists were on time, took their time, and paid attention to detail. I would definitely recommend this company. They were awesome.

day of the wedding, and our portraits (the day after). My trail was a couple of months before the wedding and I knew I took the chance of receiving a new stylist, on the wedding day, but I felt the trail was imperative to see if I was choosing the right style. I noted what I wanted to change about my "do" and took some pics. The day of the wedding Gaby came with Rebecca just to make sure I was comfortable, that my changes took place, and I was happy with the results. At the end of the two days with the Gaby and Rebecca, I literally felt they were part of our family. They were both kind, energetic, and certainly passionate about their work. Rebecca produced amazing results and I received tons of compliments on my hair and make-up. The professional photos are gorgeous (not my normal t-shirt and jeans) and I could not have been more happy with my selection. There is no doubt I made the right choice and.... Rebecca you are awesome at your work!! Thanks Gaby :) Hope to see you someday on our next NOLA get away!

e about what I wanted. Her shop was very easy to find for the Trial Run. Rebecca was absolutely fantastic. I have never pampered myself in that way, never had a manicure, pedicure, or massage. I showed her some of my makeup palettes and favorite lip color. She zeroed in on it and got it perfect!! I told Rebecca that I still wanted to look like myself, but that photography "washes out" a lot of my facial color. Rebecca applied one palette that complimented my skin tones, then went a little darker after we discussed the look. She was able to slightly widen my thin lips, while the color application still looked natural. I was very impressed with the quality of the makeup used. The lip color did not feather. The eye makeup, concealer, air brush-applied makeup, blush, and setting powder did not budge all through my evening work., even though my face perspired slightly. Also, as I am an older bride, I told Gaby that I did not want thick makeup to crease into the fine lines around and underneath my eyes. My facial features looked just as smooth ten hours later as they did when I left the salon. For my hair style, I did not know exactly what I wanted, only that I wanted some looseness to the style and soft curls framing my face. I also asked if Rebecca could style my hair slightly offset to one side, since pulling my hair straight back accentuates my too-large nose in comparison with the rest of my petite and narrow face. When Rebecca was finished pinning my hair, I told her that on the actual wedding day I had wanted my hair a little "piecier" and looser. I was prefectly fine with the trial. Much to my surprise, Rebecca unpinned what she had already done, curled more of the hair to be pulled back, and re-worked the entire style. It looked exactly as I had described to her. She also gave me good tips for her to have feedback for the actual Wedding Day. For example, let her know if I thought I needed more pins; did the curls stand up to our New Orleans' humidity?, etc. I went to work in downtown New Orleans straight from this Trial Run session, so my hair style got the "wind test" of gusts ripping off the Mississippi River while I walked to work. I am very busy at work, and my hair still looked gorgous when I was through. The pieces that she left curled and hanging still had some curl left in them. Altogether, this was a fantastic experience. Both Gaby and Rebecca listened to my vision of how I wanted to look, both in regard to darker makeup than I usually wear and not looking like someone else. I didn't want anyone who viewed my wedding book to wornder, "Who the heck is that??" They also listened and understood that I have course, straight hair that frizzes in humidity. And most importantly, Rebecca helped me find an offset,elegant hair style that helped to not accentuate my nose when all of my hair was pulled up and back. These women are extremely patient, talented, and work at terrific prices. I will use them again in a few months for my daughter's wedding. The session was fun and well-documented, with Rebecca photo-bombing all of my Progress Selfies. This was so much fun!

and saw all the great reviews! They showed up on time at our hotel st. James and got started immediately. None of us had them do a run through before so all they had to go on was pictures! They made us look almost identical to the pictures and were even willing to fix it once it was done if we didn't like it! I would highly recommend them to anyone especially someone coming from out of town! You won't be disappointed! My make up last forever and my hair does not hold curl very well and my hair held curl long after the wedding! My sister law slept in her hair (which was a bun) and the next day it looked just like the day before! Thank you for making my day amazing!

em!

rful ladies had a very positive attitude which made the experience that much better! As far as hair and makeup - I LOVED what they did! I am not much of a makeup person so I gave them very little as far as what I would like to see but somehow they captured exactly what I wanted. Everyone in my group looked stunning and enjoyed the experience. Well worth the price! I would recommend this company to everyone! Thank you, Courtney C.

They listened to everything we wanted and were happy to make any changes to ensure that we were both 100% happy with how we looked.

as well!

hey were even flexible the day of adding a makeup on.

listens and enhances each girl and never hides their own natural beauty. She was able to do my bridesmaids(9 total), my mother, and my mother-in-law in great timing. They are looked so beautiful, and I also felt wonderful as well. The airbrush makeup and falsies definitely held up in the New Orleans heat and my own tears. Gaby and her team are professional, lovely, efficient... I can't recommend them enough.

ful and I would definitely use them again!

wanted. When we wanted something different, they would take our hair down or wipe off our makeup and do it again, no questions asked. I think I changed my lip color about 3 times and the makeup artist did not mind at all. They were actually early to the appointment and set up and cleaned up quickly. I would use them again if I ever have an event in New Orleans.

t! I looked natural and the curls stayed in all night. The wedding day, the same assistant came to our bridal suite with two helpers and she recreated the same look I asked for during the trial. They were quick, friendly, and put up with my massive herd of bridesmaids. I would recommend them to anyone! I received so many compliments on my wedding day and I know it was in large part thanks to Gaby and the rest of the girls at Fairytales and Brides!

while the other girls were getting their make up done. The process of getting all 5 girls in the chairs and done in a timely manner was smooth/seamless. These ladies really know what they are doing, and they do not waste any time getting it done. My bridesmaids all had ideas of what they wanted their hair to look like, so they showed the stylists their ideas at which point the stylists and bridesmaids discussed if that particular idea would work for them or if there was something that might suit them better. I loved how open they were about discussing everyone's ideas because at the end of the day, the goal is for everyone (not just the bride) to feel beautiful! Fairytales and Brides did just that for us! Another bonus is that Gaby travels to you for your trial session. This gave me a chance to work with her to see exactly what it was I wanted my hair to look like for the wedding, so that when they showed up on the actually wedding day, everyone was already on board with what was about to be done. Working with Gaby and her team was great! Thank you!

feel beautiful. They are affordable, very professional and easy to work with. You won't be disappointed with the service you receive!!

hich they totally respected. I felt like they truly wanted to make sure that me and my bridesmaids felt comfortable on this special day and listened to our input. I live out of state and Gabby was more than happy to help work with me from a distance and answer my million questions via email and phone to help ensure that the day would go smoothly which it did. I would highly recommend anyone to try Fairy tales and Brides :) :)
