Fairytales and Brides Makeup Artistry & Hair Design

These ladies were amazing and made my bridesmaids and I feet beautiful! My hair and makeup was flawless, thanks so much!

I worked with Gabby and her team for my wedding in June 2021. Gabby's team did hair + makeup for me, my 7 bridesmaids, my mother and mother-in-law, as well as hair for my flower girl.! I can’t tell you how many compliments me, my girls, and our moms received on our hair + makeup. I would recommend Gabby to anyone looking to get their hair + makeup done for an event - you will not be disappointed!

Did my wedding hair for my City Hall Wedding, did a great job of an updo for the day, stayed in place all day.

Fairytales and Brides is AMAZING! I got my wedding makeup done by Dania (10/10 recommend seeing her), and I am so happy with the results. Thank you!

They did my hair and makeup for my wedding, as well as my 4 bridesmaids and my mom. Everyone loved their glam and hair and felt beautiful!

Highly recommend Fairytales and Brides !

I booked Fairytales and Brides in 2019 for my then 2020 wedding. Due to Covid it got rescheduled twice to 2021. After the initial booking process and getting my deposit they basically ghosted me. Getting in touch with them to reschedule the dates was a pain. I had to reach out multiple times over a few weeks. When they did finally respond it was always extremely brief. When my wedding was finally a couple months out I tried contacting them to schedule the trial and was never able to reach them by phone or email. I ended up hiring a new hair and make up team that was fabulous! Even when I emailed Fairytales to let them know that I was canceling their services I never got a response.

Fairytales and Brides Team did both mine and my mom’s my hair and makeup for my wedding ceremony! The ladies are extremely professional, talented, and knowledgeable in the industry

Fairytales and Brides Hair and Makeup is very professional on time and does outstanding work. Our hair and makeup looked perfect all day and night

Fairytales and Brides was the perfect hair and makeup hire for our wedding day. She was professional, fun to have around, and made us all look great while still looking like ourselves! I also appreciate her flexibility in taking on a few more services than additionally planned, when members of my wedding party decided that they did want hair and/or makeup done after all. Thanks for everything, Gabby!

Fairytales and Brides was so accommodating towards us and our makeup artist, Dania, did an amazing job! Very happy with this vendor.

Perfect! We all looked beautiful with our makeup and our makeup artist Dania was so sweet. Very accomodating as well!

Dania did my makeup for my wedding. She did a wonderful job and I couldn't be happier! This is an amazing service.

These girls saved the day. I had my makeup girl friend back out of doing my party the week before my wedding day! I messaged everyone on this app and literally just waited for someone to respond and whoever I got a hold of was getting the job. lol. 5 or 6 did get back to me but everybody was booked until Fairytales got back to me. She said it was no problem and my artist would be there. Sure enough, she was there on time and gave the girls, my mom and I, a full face with lashes with time to spare before we had to leave for the venue. Very professional in dealing with each of our requests and specifications. Very professional overall, and we all looked fabulous. Thank you for coming to my rescue!

What a fabulous experience! My stylist from Fairytales and Brides came to the house I was renting well before our hit time and was able to spend about two and a half hours working on me. Corianne was amazing! I showed her pictures of the looks I liked and she taylored them especially for me. My hair, in particular, was even better than I imagined. It was feminine and classy, blending with my look rather than dominating it. The same with my makeup. She took care of all my trouble spots but made it look completely natural. And true to her word, both the hair and makeup lasted the entire afternoon and evening! Never was I worried that it would come down or come off. And even though there were tons of Bobby pins, I didn't have the usual bobby pin headache. Hallelujah! I can't recommend Fairytale and Brides, and especially Corianne, highly enough. If I ever want to be truly beautified in the future, these are the people I'm calling! Thank you so much for making me feel as beautiful as a bride can be on her wedding day!

Gaby and her team are amazing. They did makeup and hair for me and my bridal party. Everyone was 100% satisfied with both hairs and makeup. Fairytales and Brides is awesome.

Fairytales and Brides was recommended to me by my friend and I’m so happy they were available for my wedding! From my first inquiry I knew she was going to be awesome! She was very responsive and even asked for some photos to gave her an idea of my weeding inspiration. At my trial, the team gave me a look that was flawless and timeless! The morning of my wedding the team was right on time even a little early. Everyone looked amazing and they couldn’t believe how natural the airbrush looked! Our makeup looked great all night long with hardly a touchup. I can’t recommend Fairytales and Brides enough, they are so talented .If you’re thinking of booking Fairytales and Brides , act quick before she gets booked up!

When I was the Matron of Honor for my sister's wedding, they did an amazing job on our makeup and hair. I highly recommend their business!

I was over the moon with the service I received from Fairytales and Brides . The artist arrived promptly and I loved both my hair and makeup. The artist really listened to what I wanted and captured the look I had in mind perfectly. She was also super friendly which was a bonus. I would highly recommend Fairytales and Brides !

Amazing customer service from beginning to end! Gabby and her girls were wonderful, they gave great suggestions, were very patient & I loved my hair & make-up! I suggest Fairytales & Brides for all occasions not just Weddings!

It was such a pleasure working with Gaby and her team! They arrived on time and quickly began to work. They finished all of our hair and makeup on time plus had time to fix anything after the first photo shoot. They were very professional, knowledgable, 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!!!!

Gaby and her team are amazing! From booking, responsiveness, my trial and the wedding day, Gaby and the girls were so easy and wonderful to work with. The day of, the girls managed their time so well and we stuck to our timeline. My makeup & the 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!

Rebecca gave me the most wonderful trial! She was extremely professional and patient considering she gave me the exact style I wanted and then took the time to change it to a completely different style when I decided that I wanted to try something 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!!!!

When I was looking for someone to do my make up and came across Fairytales & Brides. I reached out to get a quote and Gabby was quick to respond and got quote back to me. Soon after I we exchanged a couple pictures as to what I was looking for. 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.

You will not be disappointed with Fairytales and Brides Makeup Artistry & Hair Design!! I had 11 hair and 12 makeup requests all before my 12 pm wedding! Gaby helped coordinate 4 of her hair stylists/makeup artists to come at 6 am on my wedding 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!

I got married on October 27, 2018 and the entire experience was a pleasure. Gabby was very prompt at answering calls and messages and most of all was very accommodating. I was planning the wedding 3 hours away and felt very confident in my decision to use Fairytales & Brides.

I cannot say enough about my beauty team! My wedding was a destination wedding in New Orleans on May 22, 2018. I am from San Diego, Ca and was nervous about finding a makeup artist and hair designer with out having a trial for both. My mind was 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!!!!!

I am so thankful for this group of ladies here! They did my bridal party of 8 and 4 family members for our wedding in July. Firstly, we all looked picture perfect all night long!!! Something that is nearly impossible for an all outdoor wedding 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!

HUGE THANK YOU to Gaby and her staff! They did an incredible job for my wedding. I was unable to schedule a trial since we are from out of town, so I was nervous about how my hair and makeup would turn out the day of. Well, my bridesmaids and I 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!

Gaby and her team were such a pleasure to work with. I was a destination wedding bride and I first met the hairstylist in February, which was my only visit to New Orleans before the wedding so it was important that I make sure she was the right 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.

Gaby and Becca were excellent! I had a few pictures of how I wanted my hair and makeup, and Becca was able to create the perfect look for me. I did not have a bridal party, and they were able to accommodate just me and my mom at my venue. Also - the lashes they use were unbelievably light and comfortable.

I highly recommend Fairytales and Brides for your wedding day!!!! As a destination bride, I was not able to do a makeup trial due to time constraints, however everything turned out absolutely amazing the day of the wedding. Gaby’s team was able 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!!

Gaby and her girls at Fairytales and Brides provided my bridal party and I with a wonderful getting ready experience. First, months before the wedding, I had trial run to figure out how I wanted my hair and makeup to look. I have never been very 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!

From planning process, to day-of, Gaby and her team were flexible and accommodating with last minute changes or requests, quick and easy to communicate with, and so great at what they do! They did an amazing job as our glam squad the day of my wedding and everyone felt absolutely beautiful. Would recommend in a heartbeat!

Gaby and Rebecca where amazing! They were very flexible with me since I was an out of state bride. I just showed Rebecca pictures of what I wanted and she knocked it out of the park!!

Gabby and her team or the best in the business!!! And especially they took the job last minute. Highly recommended!!! And this is from someone who films weddings for a living.

I had a great experience!! Gaby sent me Rebecca from her team to do my hairstyle and makeup. She was on time and she also did my daughter and stepdaughter without having her partner which at that moment was sick. Rebecca arrived early to set 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.

I used Fairytales and Brides for my wedding day makeup, and I couldn't have been happier with the results. Gaby was responsive and organized about getting my appointment set up, and my makeup artist Rebecca, did an AMAZING job. She asked a lot 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!

Gaby and Rebecca were amazing! I decided on Thursday that I wanted to treat myself to an up do and makeup for a wedding I was attending on Friday. I contacted Gaby and she went right to work to find one of her ladies that was qualified and available 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 !

So this is a very difficult review to write. I planned my wedding in New Orleans from Japan where I live and work. Which means every contract I signed for services rendered on my wedding was like a leap of faith for me. If you are reading this 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.

The entire team was so lovely and did an AMAZING job! Everyone in the wedding party looked so beautiful and the hair and make up held up so well in the NOLA heat while he danced the night away! I loved everything about the experience!

Gaby and her team at Fairytales really made my wedding into a real life Fairytale! My friend had used them for their wedding and they looked gorgeous so I decided to try them out. Contacting them is so easy; I got a response quickly and next thing 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!

Gaby and her team are fabulous! As a destination bride organizing a big fat Indian wedding, we had a lot on our plate. Gaby was always available to speak, responded quickly to emails, and was very transparent about pricing. She is supremely organized 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!

Gaby and her entire team were so great, I can not thank them enough for what an amazing job that they did! I planned a destination wedding in New Orleans from Chicago, I was a bit overwhelmed and nervous booking vendors, with really not knowing 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!!

Absolutely fabulous experience. Could not have been more pleased. Gaby and her staff are beauty industry professionals with exceptional talents. Each member of our party of 5 were beautifully coiffed with a unique hairstyle and our makeup tastefully 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!
