I cannot recommend Abby from Shear Abby highly enough! From our very first interaction, Abby was professional, warm, and incredibly attentive to my vision. On the wedding day itsel...
f, she brought such a calm, positive energy that instantly put me at ease, exactly what every bride needs.
My hair and makeup were beyond anything I could have imagined. I felt like the most beautiful version of myself: flawless, confident, and still completely me. Everything photographed beautifully and lasted perfectly from the first look through the very last dance.
Shear Abby didn’t just make me feel amazing; my bridesmaids, flower girls, Mother of the Bride, and Mother of the Groom were all absolutely thrilled with their hair and makeup as well. Everyone felt confident, comfortable, and genuinely loved their look, which says so much about Abby’s talent and versatility.
Abby listened carefully, offered expert guidance, and executed everything with true artistry and precision. She was an absolute joy to work with, and I received endless compliments throughout the day. If you’re looking for an incredibly talented artist who will make you and your entire wedding party feel beautiful and cared for, Shear Abby is the best choice. I would choose Abby again in a heartbeat!

I cannot say enough amazing things about Abby at Shear Abby! She did my hair and makeup, as well as my mom’s and one of my bridesmaids’, for my wedding, and everything turned out a...
bsolutely stunning.
Abby was incredible from start to finish. She nailed my trial look, but when I decided last minute that I wanted to switch things up for the big day, she rolled with it effortlessly and somehow made it even better than I imagined. She’s so talented and calm under pressure; exactly what every bride needs!
Her salon was the perfect spot for us to get ready. Abby was such a warm and welcoming host. It was the perfect morning with friends, just getting glammed up and having fun before the ceremony.
If you’re looking for someone who’s not only insanely skilled but also kind, flexible, and genuinely invested in making your day special, Abby is your girl. I can’t recommend her enough! She made me, my mom, and my bridesmaid feel beautiful and confident all day long.
Thank you, Abby, for being such a big part of making my wedding day perfect!

Unfortunately, my experience working with Abby for wedding hair and makeup was incredibly disappointing and unnecessarily stressful. I'm honestly shocked she has so many 5 star rev...
iews
After my trial, I looked through the photos and realized there were a few aspects of my hair I wasn’t happy with. I reached out to see if we could make some changes, but instead of a collaborative or open response, I felt like I had upset her just by offering feedback. She was frustrated that I hadn’t spoken up during the trial — and while I understand that, sometimes it takes a bit of reflection to pinpoint what you don't like. That’s the purpose of a trial, after all. The experience made me feel like my preferences didn’t really matter and I was just another bride to check off her list. The whole exchange felt transactional rather than personal.
Ultimately, I made the stressful decision to find a new stylist for myself just weeks before the wedding, which I think says a lot.
Abby still did hair and makeup for my friend, mom, mother-in-law, and officiant because I had already signed the contract with her. Unfortunately, all of them ended up needing to redo both services later that same day because the looks didn’t last beyond a few hours.
If you want to feel comfortable & prioritized on your wedding day, I’d strongly recommend looking elsewhere.
Response from Shear Abby on 07/22/2025
Dear Kaitlin,
Thank you for your message. When you came in for your initial run-through, ...
you left feeling happy and excited for your wedding day, and at no point did you express any dissatisfaction with the services provided.
Later, you requested a complimentary second run-through, which is not something I typically offer. However, I did extend a discounted rate, as I do for any client who wants an additional trial.
Regarding your comments about your friends' and family's hair and makeup not lasting, I take great pride in my work and the products I use. Having worked with over 1,000 wedding parties, my goal is always to ensure that everyone looks and feels their best throughout the entire day.
I'm genuinely sorry to hear that you were unhappy and that you felt the need to publicly criticize my small business in this way. I wish you all the best moving forward.
Warm regards,
Abby

mmodating my travel schedule for my hair trial, and even color matched my (perfect!) custom extensions based on photos. She delivered exactly what I envisioned and my style held all day, even through a brief rain shower and a bit of humidity. Abby was also so fun to talk with while my attendants & I got our hair done in her sweet, comfortable studio in Boulder. Highly recommend Abby for any bride looking for a stylist with some serious talent and passion for what she does.

I am a person who wears make up regularly, and so I wanted to find someone who could do my makeup in a more glamorous/noticeable way then the everyday without looking like I just c...
ame out of a drag show! Abby did an amazing job with making me look amazing on my special day! She also did such a good job with my bridal party (most who don’t wear makeup often) bringing out all of their natural beauty! She was professional and most importantly very timely!! I highly recommend booking her for your wedding or any event where you want to look beautiful.

Abby is wonderful! Very talented and professional. She arrived on time and ready to go for my party and I. She did hair and makeup for myself, my sister and my mother the day of my...
wedding. She’s a great listener and did exactly what I wanted. I don’t wear a ton of make up, I felt absolutely beautiful and was obsessed with my wedding makeup!

Makeup was perhaps one of my biggest hesitations for our wedding because I usually am a "maybe mascara" and "SPF foundation" only kind of human. When I went to Abby for a trial, sh...
e heard my need to want to look super natural and I left feeling completely like myself; but with the perfect amount of extra glow that I wanted for our wedding.
On the wedding day itself Abby was prompt, communicative, and so easy going with the flow of our morning. Everyone in our wedding party looked stunning and also felt like themselves. I so appreciated Abby's bubbly personality, the connections we made through getting to know each other, and the way she was super open to feedback if someone needed any form of adjusting.
Because we are a COVID wedding and we get to do the celebration twice now; I am definitely going to be using Abby to be sure I feel just as beautiful the second time as I did the first go around :)

I couldn’t be happier with how my hair and makeup turned out for my wedding. Abby is a true professional and knows exact what she is doing. She made me look and feel my absolute b...
est on my wedding day. We had to make the tough call and elope this year instead of having our large wedding. Abby worked with me on downsizing my original request and was able to take my mother and sisters instead of my bridal party. We all loved how we looked. I can’t wait to share my photos. Hire Abby at Shear Abby you will love it!

As soon as I sat down in Abby's chair, I knew I was in the right place. It truly felt like we had known each other forever. She fully embraced my elopement plans and helped turn me...
into the woodland winter fairy I was hoping for. From beginning to end, she made sure I was comfortable, especially because I do not wear a ton of makeup. There is a reason why she is the best in Boulder! She will be my go to from now on!

I can't rave about this company enough! Abby and the Shear Abby team were so amazing on our wedding day! My girls and I looked so beautiful on my wedding day. I have never seen ...
myself look more beautiful. Hire this company. Abby has it together when it comes to hair and makeup. She put a schedule together for us and her assistant and the timing was perfect. I went in for a run through before and was worried because I had a few other elsewhere that were not good. Abby seriously was amazing. She is sweet and so knowledgable on everything wedding! She even recommended the best florist!
