Read More On Citysearch EK12345 3/15/2010 - Amazing hair/makeup trial! Can't wait for my wedding day!!Stacey (owner) is fabulous to work with -- incredibly organized and very personable. Stephanie styled my hair and Sofia applied my makeup. Between their personalities and their incredible talent, I was completely swept away and was 100% at ease. Stephanie nailed the romantic waves I so desperately desired, and Sofia made me look like the best version of myself. I cannot wait for my wedding da...
Read More On Citysearch 2010 May Bride 2/23/2010 - OUAB the Best!After a quick phone conversation I knew Dana was the perfect makeup artist for DD's wedding. We did one trial and that sealed it. Dana did the make-up for my daughter's wedding and she made this 57 year old MOB look beyond good- and I never think I look good! Not even my husband could tell I had on lashes - they looked so natural. My beautiful DD hates make up and Dana made her feel so comfor...
Read More On Citysearch Karenbl 12/27/2009 - Best Hair/Makeup everStacey did my hair and Dana did my makeup perfectly. I explained what I wanted over the phone and Stacey knew exactly how to execute the look perfectly. My hair and face has never looked better. I am thrilled I loved the way I looked on my wedding day.
Read More On Citysearch revampstyling 12/9/2009 - Perfection!My mother, my sister and I all looked and felt amazing. Both Alesha and Sofia were very professional and made getting ready on the wedding day seamless and stress free.
Also, prior to the wedding I got my pre-wedding hair cut and color by Stacey and Loren and they did an amazing job as well.
I couldn't have been happier with the way everything turned out. Make room in your budget for t...
Read More On Citysearch dka189 8/14/2009 - The easiest part of my planning!Let?s face it ladies, a bride?s top priority is to look beautiful on her wedding day. I searched high and low for the perfect hair and makeup people, and Once Upon a Bride is exactly what I was looking for.
For my wedding I wanted to look like myself, only better. So often I have seen brides whose hair looked like a stiff sculpture and whose makeup made them unrecognizable. I have had bad...

Read More On Citysearch smp123 4/15/2009 - Finally! A bridal hair trial that left me smiling!Before you waste several hundred dollars and time on hair trials in search of "the one" for your big day, go to OUAB! I had tried a couple of different hair stylists in Manhattan and just didn't think I was going to look the way I wanted to on my wedding day. That all changed after I came across OUAB. I called Stacey (the owner) who listened to the 'look' I was going for, and based on our dis...
Read More On Citysearch LAP711 2/23/2009 - Amazing Hair and Makeup!I had read great reviews of OUAB, and it was the first and only place I went for hair and makeup trials. I was thrilled with the results and booked Stacey and Sofia for my May wedding. Stacey and Sofia are amazing pros and genuinely care about their brides. For my makeup, I wanted a natural glamour look and Sofia achieved it. She made my skin glow! My makeup look was pretty and fresh. Each ...
Read More On Citysearch shirlbride 2/22/2009 - Amazing Makeup and HairI had wonderful experience at Once Upon a Bride. After a horrible makeup trial I had lost hope and had almost decided on doing the makeup myself. That was until I found OUAB. From the moment I walked in I knew I was in the right place. Stacey and Sofia are simply amazing.
Sofia is so talented and achieved the look I wanted in no time. She took the time to listen to what I wanted and is comp...

I talked to Stacey, who spend time getting to know me and my style and made suggestions on which of her hair and makeup artists would be best.
I had a trial with Aleasha and Sophia..Sophia got my vision for makeup SPOT ON! I loved it so much I d...
Read More On Citysearch smplyfbls 2/20/2009 - Great Trial!I had a wonderful experience at OUAB during my hair and make-up trials with Ingaborg and Stefanie! I went in with a few ideas but both of them took what I had in mind to the next level. Ingaborg has an extremely delicate touch and the make-up look that she created was just perfect for the romantic, classic aesthetic that I want to achieve. She also took the time to explain the process to me as ...

I found Once Upon a Bride online and decided to come in for a trial. Stefanie could not have been more wonderful. I showed her a few pictures and she immediately knew the look I was after. She was fun and super nice and my hair has never looked so great. I couldn't recommend her more hig...

Stacey, the owner made me feel special from the moment I walked in the door. I immediately was comfortable and felt I was working with an old friend. She tried 3 beautiful hairstyles on me for my wedding day and I trust her so much I decided to wait until the actual day to decide. My makeup was the best it has ever looked. I practica...

Read More On Citysearch Robin82 4/15/2008 - Best hair/makeup for bridesEveryone always says that planning a wedding is so much fun. Well, from what I have experienced, it is and it isn't and it often involves a bit of compromise and give and take. Going to Once Upon A Bride, however, was maybe, the most fun part so far. From the moment you walk in Stacey and her team make you feel incredibly welcome. Before meeting with them, I had never had my hair or makeup done p...
Read More On Citysearch rbuchler 4/2/2008 - Best Hair EverAside from the fact that Stacey is beautiful and cool, she and her stylists do the best hair ever! I did not originally chose Once Upon A Bride, and boy did I regret it. My first trial was a disaster, but as soon as I contacted Stacey, I felt immediately reassured. She was detail oriented and organized, which is very important when you are planning a wedding and have so many things to do.
Most i...

Stacey Lyn and her team know how to make you feel calm and relaxed even though you are planning one of the most important events of your life. When I met Desiree, my makeup artist, I instantly knew she would do a great job. I wasn't exactly sure...
Read More On Citysearch sjr321 9/1/2007 - An overall amazing experience!Once Upon a Bride was one of the best decisions I made when planning my wedding. Stacey Lyn came highly recommended by a friend of mine and as soon as I met her I felt comfortable and at ease. I had a very specific idea in mind of how I wanted to look on my wedding day and Stacey "got it." She worked with me to create the perfect hair style that I completely loved. I even found a beautiful ha...
Read More On Citysearch hrtc 7/13/2007 - Best Hair and Makeup for Brides!OUAB did an amazing job with my hair and makeup. I do not usually wear make up so finding someone who would make me look special but not over done and un-recognizable was very important. Stacey was patient through the planning process and helped me find a makeup artist that I was comfortable with and RoAnna was it. During the trial she listened to my concerns, likes and dislikes and offered sug...
Read More On Citysearch tillmanjen 6/22/2007 - Special bridal treatmentI am from San Francisco and was planning my wedding in NYC this June. I had multiple disastrous hair trials with stylist who claimed they could work with curly hair, but either ended up straightening my curls or making me look like I was going to prom. One day I stumbled upon Once Upon a Bride on line and called the owner Stacey to discuss my needs. She spent time discussing her various stylis...

I wasn't sure which hair style to go with so they took pictures of each "creation" so I could go home and think about it. After choosing my "look", I had the pictures to show Stacey which style I wanted. They made me look and feel like the most beautiful bride in the world. The day of the wedding was chaotic. Since my Once...
Read More On Citysearch lbloom 3/25/2007 - too much attitue and not enough skills
The trial was a waste of money. I did not get the my first choice for the makeup artist, but got a distant second. The staff had too much attitue and not enough charm. I was happy with my hair but disappointed with my makeup. Tthe makeup woman rushed my makeup towards the end because she didn't leave herself enough time to finish as planned. She rushed though my airbrush makeup, which got sh...
Read More On Citysearch Euphoria 3/22/2007 - HorribleOnce Upon A Bride was recommended by a wedding planner and I would not recommend them. I wanted to try several different looks for hair and makeup and when I couldn't really decide on which look I wanted to go with, they got annoyed with me. I hated the hair, hated the makeup and just didn't care for they way I was treated at all. Never again. Maybe you'd have better luck than me, but I doubt...

for my wedding bc I've seen so many brides with stiff
hair and heavy makeup, but I went to OUAB for a hair

I just got married on September 9th and I used Once Upon a Bride for my hair and makeup. Stacey and Dana were AMAZING! THey both had great ideas for different looks i could have on my special day.

Read More On Citysearch ella1122 9/12/2006 - Best place to go for bridal hair!Trust me ladies, I went to 2 other hairstylists (at very upscale salons) before my wedding and nobody got it. My wedding planner referred me to Stacey and her crew at Once Upon a Bride. The total experience, from my first trial, was nothing short of perfect. At long last, somebody understood that this was my WEDDING and not a runway show with retro 1960's mod hair! The job that Stacey and Josi...
