The Makeup by Ana B team was absolutely incredible to work with. Shirley did the most beautiful job with my makeup, and Lexi worked magic on my hair. My mom and I used them for both the rehearsal and the wedding day, and we were blown away by the results--we received so many compliments! They made us look like the best versions of ourselves: natural, radiant, and somehow glowing for 12+ hours straight. Beyond their talent, what really stood out was their energy and dedication. Lexi had a family emergency the night before the rehearsal and came off little sleep--but you would never have known. She showed up with such a positive attitude, was an absolute joy to be around, and still did the most incredible job. This team works together so seamlessly, creating not just a beautiful final look but a genuinely fun and calming experience. Shirley and Lexi even stayed late on our wedding day to make sure I had any final touch-ups before walking down the aisle. That kind of care and professionalism is rare and deeply appreciated. I can't recommend MAB highly enough. If you want to feel confident, beautiful, and completely taken care of on your wedding day, this is the team to book! read more

Service, quality. We said easy make up for the bride and she ended up looking like she used 10 layers of make up.

I had Esme, Shirley, and Clare who did hair and makeup for me and my bridesmaids + my mom and mother in law and they did such an amazing job! I felt so beautiful and myself on my wedding day and I couldn't have asked for a better team! We all felt comfortable the whole day. All of our hair and makeup lasted throughout the night even through all the dancing! 10000/10 would recommend. read more

Everything from the first touch point to wedding day was flawless. Their team is incredible, so organized and one of my favorite vendors I worked with. The hair and make up day of on everyone was STUNNING, natural and perfect. I loved having hair and make up in one instead of booking 2 separate vendors. If you need hair and make up for wedding day or any other special life event, look no further! Cannot recommend enough read more

I had a great experience with Makeup by Ana B for my wedding hair and makeup trial. Karolina was very responsive with coordinating the scheduling. She was able to plan with the artists to accommodate my schedule and start the session earlier than originally planned. Ana did my hair trial, and it turned out beautifully. She is very personable to work with. She took my Pintrest inspiration photos and ideas and turned it into real life. The hair process took about an hour. Then I had my makeup done with Shirley. She did a great job! I went with the airbrush makeup and a light smoky eye with no shimmer on the eyelid. She used individual lashes for me because the lash strip looked too bulky/dramatic. The makeup took an hour, as well. The final look was amazing! Everyone was very attentive and pleasant to work with. The studio is very clean and cutely decorated. I can't wait to work with this awesome team for my actual wedding day! read more

I got my makeup done by Hala for my engagement photo shoot and couldn't have been happier. #1 it was easy to book an appointment (and to reschedule online - I slightly bumped the time back with no problems). Hala was AMAZING! She asked questions to figure out what I was looking for and gave me the perfect look for my engagement photos. She even gave me makeup pointers along the way. Not only did my makeup look very pretty, but it also held up perfectly throughout the photo session, even when we were sweating outside in the humidity! I'll definitely come back for future styling needs. read more

I loved our day and I LOVED Maria. We worked together for my engagement pictures and I knew I'd be in amazing hands for the wedding. She is so easy to work with and so so sweet. The day was so seamless with her and all the girls loved her so much as well. I got so many compliments on how beautiful I looked and it was all thanks to her. PERFECTION. read more

I've had two interactions with Makeup by Ana B: First, a one on one how-to makeup session with Ana, and second, a signature facial with Bianca. Regarding both occasions, I wouldn't change anything! The process was seamless from initial booking to the end of each session, and the experiences were both highly educational and relaxing. I use Ana's makeup tips everyday and I am incorporating Bianca's suggestions into my skincare routine. Bottom line: I am recommending this entire team and their services to everyone I know! read more

I found out about Makeup By Ana B via Instagram and boy am I glad I saw that IG story! I've been twice now and Bianca was amazing (both times), her work and professionalism is exceptional. I always leave feeling and looking so relaxed and cared for. Would highly recommend getting a facial by Bianca she's the best! read more

Makeup By Ana B - Some serious hydration going on here from my last visit - Makeup Artists Near Me

I hired Hair & Makeup by Ana B for my engagement shoot and my wedding and I absolutely loved working with them. One of the reasons I selected MAB for my wedding day styling is because I noticed that they have a lot of experience with South Asian weddings. It was important to me that they could work with my wedding colors, dress, and skin tone and they really delivered! For my sunrise engagement shoot, Stefani and Tanya came super early to my apartment to do my hair and makeup. They were upbeat even though it was crazy early and did a fantastic job. I was excited to have the chance to work with them before the wedding because we could all get to know each other, and it helped me figure out my exact look for the wedding. For the wedding, Stefani, Tania, and Rocio styled my wedding party and me. I couldn't have been happier with the service - the team worked quickly and efficiently, were friendly and fun, and made all 10 of us look and feel beautiful. On top of all that, when we accidentally overpaid, the MAB team was kind and super professional and quickly refunded us for the overpayment, which goes to show what an honest and wonderfully run business this is! I highly, highly recommend this team if you ever need professional hair and makeup done. [PC: Alexandra Mandato Photography] read more

Working with Amy was an absolute dream. I immediately felt safe in her hands when we met at my appointment. I was unnecessarily nervous, but her professionalism and kindness really cemented my trust in her process. From start to finish, the entire experience was effortless: booking, sharing Pinterest makeup looks, the actual makeup application, her thoughtful touch-up kit, and her sweet follow-up text to confirm my photoshoot went smoothly. I genuinely cannot recommend Amy enough, for not only her professionalism and kindness, but also her talent and skill as an artist. She NAILED my makeup so well that I literally cried (happy tears!) when I saw my photos: picture-perfect. Truly, a thousand 5-star reviews wouldn't be enough to convey my gratitude to Amy. So, so thankful for her kindness and helping me feel and look amazing. read more

I am thrilled with my experience with Makeup by Ana B for my bridal hair and makeup. They are truly experts at what they do with a lengthy background in weddings. My stylists - Rocio and Suz - were SO talented, and I felt gorgeous on my special day. The makeup and hair lasted for HOURS!! They also answered all my questions and had great tips for what would work best during my trial. Plus, they did an excellent job with my bridal party - everyone looked stunning. I highly recommend them. You'll be in great hands! read more

I used this company for my wedding and they did an amazing job. Hala did my makeup and Lexi did my hair -- I loved their work. They listened to what I was looking for and made it reality. They were lovely to work with, and the company itself was very professional, communicated clearly, and was fairly priced. Would give them 6 stars if I could. read more

This review is for Melissa and Jasmine! Melissa did a pin-up hairstyle for me and I loved it! It exceeded my expectations! I got so many compliments on my hair! Jasmine did a tousled and side ponytail for one of my pageant events! I loved the look as it was different from what I usually get! Both of these ladies are top-notch! I would definitely recommend them! read more

We hired Tanya from Makeup by Ana B to do makeup for all of my bridesmaids. From start to finish, Tanya was highly professional, warm, and fun to work with. But most of all, we loved Tanya's amazing talent with makeup! All of the bridesmaids looked phenomenal, and Tanya did a great job listening to what each woman was looking for while creating a cohesive look for the entire wedding party. I would highly recommend Tanya! read more

I worked with Uzma and she was great, really! She was right on time and got me ready before the expected time, giving me enough room to finish other tasks before the ceremonies started. Her subtle makeup was why I had chosen her and that is exactly what she delivered. I got soo many compliments for the makeup from all my relatives and friends! So happy for with her service and will definitely recommend her to others! read more

10+ stars! My MAB team was professional, talented, and easy to work with! Highly recommend! Lexi, Bianca, and Maria did an amazing job, and all 10 of us loved our hair and makeup! It was a hot steamy day in DC on my wedding day, and our hair and airbrush makeup stayed put all night! We were all so impressed with their fabulous job that I ended up tipping them twice! You can't go wrong with these girls! You can rely on MAB artistry! read more

I had my engagement photoshoot makeup done by Martha. Martha was great! Easy to talk to, explained steps and reasons during the process, and offered a lot of advice when it comes to planning for the wedding from a make up/skin/hair perspective.  I enjoyed my session with her. I also really appreciate the online booking option. Being able to see the open time slots, uploading photos of inspo and just reserving online is such a huge time saver. read more

I am so happy I chose the MAB team for my wedding day! Having had little experience with getting my makeup professionally done, I was very nervous about not looking like myself, but they made me and bridal party look absolutely gorgeous! I am so thankful that they worked with us to make sure everything went so smoothly, despite some last minute scheduling issues. The week of the wedding, we realized we needed to add another makeup artist so we could stay on schedule and they worked with us to add a second artist and made sure I could stay as stress free as possible on my wedding day. They accommodated the various looks that my bridesmaids/mom/mother-in-law wanted with ease. Highly recommend!! read more

Got my hair and makeup done for an outdoor event scheduled on a drizzly day. So it's tough to do a review for that. The humidity is a challenge. But then. That's why you pay to have someone take care of you with the right hand and the right product, right? After 2 hours the lash glue came undone and my hair was totally flat. I know. It's tough to yelp review that. Weather is unpredictable. But there you have it. Besides that everyone was great to work with. The customer service here is excellent. The girls are on time and great at texting so you know what's going on. They know that you have a timeline and busy schedule to get to your event. read more

Uzma did my hair and makeup for my maternity photoshoot and she did an incredible job!! She was easy to talk to and happily made a few minor adjustments based on my feedback. I felt so beautiful and my pictures came out amazing! read more

I'm not normally a makeup wearer, but when I developed some odd scaly patches on my face only 5 days before my engagement photos, I knew I needed expert help! I checked online reviews and found Makeup by Ana. I sent in an inquiry with my makeup SOS and Monica had an artist and price estimate available within a matter of hours! I felt so lucky that someone was available (it probably helped that our photos were on a weekday afternoon) and Martha was phenomenal. She was pleasant, clearly experienced, was sure to double check what aesthetic I wanted... and my makeup turned out gorgeously. No weird skin patches in sight! At only $100 for a last minute trial/makeup only session, plus with Martha able to come to me, this was a great value and a great experience! read more

They were fantastic!!!!! We had SUCH a good time. Both Cynthia and Nour were super knowledgeable, and really nice. They patiently went over things with us and answered all our questions! read more

Ok, I am picky about my makeup. I was close to doing it myself but the idea of doing my own makeup and 6 bridesmaids and mothers was too much. Not only did MAB give myself and all my ladies amazing makeup and hair looks, their professional staff really made everyone feel so at ease on my wedding day. It was so comforting having a group of professional, confident artists to make everyone look and feel their best. I initially choose Makeup by Ana B for an unconventional reason, but the payoff was so worth it. Other makeup artists I contacted required a set contract before booking, and at the time I was planning a wedding from abroad and needed more flexibility. I was able to book my wedding date with MAB and work out the details later. MAB was incredibly responsive to questions, flexible to my needs, ORGANIZED, and most importantly -- delivered amazing looks and **confidence** for myself and all my ladies. They finished hair & makeup for 11 women under schedule, and addressed everyone's unique needs --- oily skin, sensitive skin, curly hair, thin hair, -- everyone looked and felt amazing. read more

I looked WOW after a great makeup and hair session from Maria on Ana's team. She was wonderful and listened to the look I was going for while also putting her professional eye on what might look best. I can't wait to use these ladies again for another session. Mine was for a corporate event and they delivered. But the icing on the cake was how responsive and flexible they were to fit me into the schedule in less than 24 hours. I don't think this is typical but I just got lucky. Super responsive via IG and text. Reasonably priced as well! read more

After several reschedulings due to COVID, I ended up working with Cori and Stefani for my make up and hair (respectively) for my vow exchange and WOW they did a fantastic job. The whole Ana B team was so wonderful to work with from the start and the two ladies who ended up going H/MU day-of were great. Really listened to what I wanted done and nailed it. I would also say the team is very well priced for the quality of the artists! Will definitely use them again for future events! read more

I had a photoshoot and my dance studio and wanted to get my makeup done, but had never had it done before and didn't know what to expect. I worked with Maria and she was wonderful. She did an excellent job and I felt beautiful, and she made the experience approachable for someone who didn't know what to expect. I will absolutely go back in the future, for other photoshoots and for my wedding. read more

I cannot say enough positive things about my wedding makeup/hair experience with Ana B. She thoughtfully listened to my ideas for a wedding look, and she helped me narrow my thoughts to the perfect colors, style, and level of glam. I initially thought I would do my own makeup and hair for my big day, but I am so unbelievably glad that I chose to work with a true professional. My makeup and hair trial was amazing and made me feel so confident, which put me at complete ease for my wedding day. It is clear after working with Ana for even just a short time that she is truly a master artist. I also have to say that everyone I came into contact with at Makeup by Ana B was friendly, helpful, and very quick to respond. Given the chance, I would have Ana do my hair and makeup for literally every single occasion, and I cannot wait to work with her again! read more

Ana and her team were truly phenomenal. Everything was so seamless. The team was so calm, cool and collected, which made for a really enjoyable, comfortable, no-pressure, totally positive getting-wedding-ready environment. I had the privilege of working with Ana for both my rehearsal dinner and our wedding, and I wish there could have been 100 more events to have Ana's team do hair and makeup. The weekend was magical for me and for all those who got to enjoy the services of the MAB team. I've been in my fair share of weddings and have seen and been serviced by plenty of hair and makeup teams. Undoubtedly, I can say that Ana and her team were not only incredibly talented and made every one of us feel like our best selves, but just such a joy to be around. Thank you all so much for your involvement in our wedding. It was a dream come true! read more

My artists for my wedding day were Mindy (hair) and Bianca (makeup), and I couldn't be happier with them! They both were lovely, kind, professional and made me feel so beautiful on my special day. They worked with me and my bridesmaids, listened to our feedback, and happily made adjustments until everyone was thrilled with their final look. I loved my trial too, which was great to get to meet the ladies beforehand. The staff at MAB is very friendly, responsive and easy to work with.

Hala and Lexi were phenomenal - very professional, diligent and took the necessary precautions for my small COVID wedding in 2020. They did a great job and I felt beautiful. I was so grateful that they were still willing come given the circumstances and it only made me that much more excited to work with them again in 2021 for our larger wedding. Scheduling was also very easy and they were always very responsive. I didn't have all my girls for the small 2020 wedding and they had no problem waiving the minimum payment to accommodate the circumstances. Highly recommended! read more

We LOVED our experience with Lexi and Uzma. They were on time, flexible (when we were running a few minutes late) but never made us feel rushed. They were able to work in a chaotic environment but still deliver amazing results! Everyone was so pleased and delighted with their looks. My sisters and mom looked amazing and I didn't want to take down my hair or wash my makeup off at the end of the night. They listened to our preferences and requests and delivered amazing results! I will absolutely work with your company again in the future. Thanks for everything!! read more

Tanya was WONDERFUL! She was great, showed up on time, ended right on time, was engaging but also allowed space for me to hangout/chat with my friends while she was doing my makeup and hair. She is talented and really grasped/wanted to understand what I was looking for at the beginning. My hair and makeup looked stunning for my engagement photos. Exactly what I was looking for. Thank you, Tanya, and MAB! Looking forward to using you in the future. read more
