Once Upon A Bride

so- once upon a bride- the name totally freaked me out- but these girls mean business. really forget about being treated like a princess or going to some cache salon - stacey and dana know what the deal is and they do the job right. my makeup was flawless, had me smiling ear to ear all day long. my hair completely stood in place without looking like prom 1989. Its a bit pricey so be prepared~ it's well worth it. they are the best for a reason and they work quick. i am really picky and tried a million places for trial (both makeup and hair) . what a waste of time...trust- just go straight to the source- they will do the job right and you can totally count on them, they are total professionals. best thing that i did was have my make up and hair done for my wedding....definitely a must.

I had an incredible experience last night at Once Upon a Bride. 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 practically danced around her salon because I felt so pretty!. It was a great feeling to know I will be in such good hands on my wedding day. I wholeheartedly recommend Stacey and her staff for anything to do with hair and makeup. I live in Florida and will certainly be coming back to NY for years to come to have my hair done by her team!

Stacey and the whole OUAB team are just amazing. the minute i walked in the salon, they made me feel very special and welcomed. to be honest, i had a first trial with someone recommended by a friend of mine and was not happy. so after my first trial...i panicked and started looking online. once i booked a trial with Dana and Stacey, i felt in my gut that this is it...and i was right!!! in fact, i cancelled a trial with another bridal salon just so i can meet up with Stacey and Dana first. the whole makeup trial experience was awesome. Dana listened to my concerns--what i like and don't like. my makeup was sooo natural that it felt like i wasn't wearing any. i can't stop looking at the mirror after the trial. as for the hair, Stacey is sooo talented!!! very sweet and she'll really work with you. it was such an amazing experience that for the first time, i felt truly like a bride after the trial with Stacey. she was very patient with me and she tried different styles and looks so we can both find the BEST one for me. all of them are VERY FRIENDLY and THEY ACTUALLY LISTEN!!! i could not wait 'til my wedding day to see my overall look. i am very confident that Stacey and Dana will be able to give me the perfect look for my wedding. I HIGHLY recommend them...not just to other brides but also to those who are searching for a nice, cozy, and trendy salon. after the wedding, i'll definitely go back to Stacey for a haircut:)

Stacey and her team at Once Upon A Bride are amazing! They went above and beyond for me. I was a last minute bride and they worked to squeeze me in during such a busy time. Can not thank them enough!From the second I walked in for my trial, they made me feel so relaxed and were so much fun! I didn't really have ideas for hair and makeup and after they sat with me and looked at pictures of my dress, they came up with the most beautiful ideas. I never felt more beautiful in my life!!! I was in shock! It was so natural...but stunning and elegant at the same time! Now I can not wait for my actual wedding day- these girls are so fun to hang out with and you get to leave looking gorgeous! It doesn't get better than that! I am making an appt with Stacey to cut my hair at her salon also. I would recommend OUAB to everyone. I have never looked so amazing!!!!!

Everyone 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 professionally and I have to say that I looked forward to going there for weeks. Once Upon A Bride exceeded my expectations! Both my hair and makeup looked beautiful and on top of that, Stacey and her team were just really fun to hang out with. The atmosphere was very casual and comfortable and it felt like I was hanging out with friends. I wasn't sure exactly what kind of look I wanted and they were all very patient and helpful in making recommendations, but also reminding me that what I thought was the most important. I can't say enough about them and I would recommend them to any bride!!
