    THE BEST

    Stacey’s team did a fantastic job! Lauren did my make up to perfection as did Irina with my hair. They both executed my vision flawlessly. Janvi and tawni did just as great of a job on the wedding party! Everyone loved how their looks came out and I would recommend the team to anyone looking for glam in NYC

    I hired Once Upon A Bride after chatting with Stacey and team for my makeup for my wedding on New Year's Eve 2025. I had Lauren from OUAB do my trial and wedding makeup and she was not only SO MUCH fun to work with but made me feel the most glam and gorgeous I ever have in my life. I had so many compliments all night of my wedding and the makeup stayed perfect from 12PM until 12AM when the wedding was over which was so impressive. Lauren also did makeup for my mother and mother in law and they looked so natural and so stunning. I cannot recommend OUAB enough - working with Stacey and Lauren for makeup was a true joy and I hope to have them do my makeup again for an occasion in the future.

    I contacted Stacey a few months ago for hair and makeup for myself and my bridesmaid daughter for my son’s wedding. Stacey responded promptly and her communication with me was excellent. She opened the salon for us at 7:30am on a Sunday to accommodate us! We both booked shampoo, blow-out styling with curling iron & Stacey did a beautiful slight hair braid for my daughter which was the perfect look for her. Tawni did our makeup application and we both felt so listened to & left feeling so glamorous for the special day. Definitely would recommend for bridal party glam!
