    Thank you!

    Jolie is absolutely incredible! We used Jolie for 3 hair and makeup services and 1 additional make up service for my wedding. She was extremely professional and nailed all of the looks! Easy to communicate with and reliable. I did a makeup and hair trial with her prior to the wedding and she made me feel super comfortable. I highly recommend Jolie and am so happy I found her!

    I couldn't be any happier!

    I have nothing but good things to say about this vendor! Jolie, the owner, was so amazing with me! She was so kind and patient throughout the whole process! I actually had never done a trial or gotten professional makeup done so I wasn't sure what steps to take. Some people told me to do multiple trials to really see who's work I like the best but in all honesty, trials are pricey. I took a leap of faith and just booked bridal by OUAB without doing any trial prior. I saw her work on Instagram and I knew she would do an amazing job on my wedding day. I'm so glad I booked this vendor because I was not disappointed! Jolie knew exactly what I wanted and went above and beyond my expectations! On the day of my wedding she had an assistant who did a wonderful job on my myself and my bridal party! I'm so glad I picked bridal by OUAB because this team was WONDERFUL! If you are looking for hair and makeup services for your wedding day, look no further! Jolie and her team will make you look beautiful! :)

    Just Beautiful

    My bridal team and I could not be happier!
    I had to plan my wedding from overseas, which is not the easiest of tasks.
    Jolie was very easy to communicate with and really supportive. She was even able to arrange a hair and make up trial for me with short notice.
    Paytin and Sarah my MU artist and hair stylist were absolutely AMAZING!
    They're super friendly, professional and I was super happy with their work. You can definitely tell they have experience and know what they're doing.
    On D day, they both arrived on time and were super patient. They did not rush us and were even able to tell exactly what we liked.
    We were very impressed with their work and we could not be more grateful for making us feel confident on my big day.

    Best hair and makeup I’ve ever had!

    I am so glad I chose Once Upon a Beauty for my wedding hair and makeup. I could not have been happier! They were great to work with the whole time and were so friendly and professional.

    I was worried about my hair as it’s pretty fine and doesn’t usually hold curls well, but Jollie did a great job and it looked perfect the entire night. Me and my bridesmaids were also so happy with our makeup. We were glowing the entire night! I highly recommend!!

    Surpassed Expectations

    OUAB was amazing! Their communication and professionalism from the very beginning was a joy to work with. I had two trials and ended up switching my hairstyle again after. So I was nervous how the final would turn out. They worked with me very patiently to figure it out and make the plan. It was incredible!! I have so much hair and was afraid it would be too big but she listened to everything I wanted and knocked it out of the park. It was perfect. I asked for dramatic makeup and she got that perfect as well. I have never felt more beautiful and highly highly highly recommend this amazing team.

    Great team of hair and makeup artist.

    Mariah did such an amazing job on my hair and makeup. I never wear makeup so I showed her a few pictures and asked her what she thought would work best for me. She made suggestions and listened to what I wanted. Racheal did my bridesmaids hair and they all looked STUNNING! Dana the owner was wonderful to work with and quick to respond to all emails. Pictures are from my trial. Highly recommended.

    Dana is amazing!

    Dana did my hair and makeup for my destination wedding a couple of weeks ago. I felt like the most beautiful bride!!! She was very professional and she does amazing work. The pictures came out stunning. My hair and makeup stayed all day and night, even in the hot hot Florida sun! I consider myself sort of picky when it comes to my hair and makeup, and I have nothing bad to say!! She listened to what I was looking for, and provided me with more than I could have imagined. Not only does Dana do excellent work, she is a joy! I really enjoyed her company on the biggest day of my life. Thank you so much!

    Wonderful team!

    Dana and Jolie were both the sweetest women ever! They were so easy and flexible to work with! They are true professionals and did an excellent job executing the hair and make up vision for my wedding! Communication was prompt and courteous. They helped make the day-of very relaxing and it was so fun getting ready with them! Highly recommend OUAB!

    Do yourself a favor...hire OUAB!!

    You are not just hiring a hair and makeup team, you are hiring another set of friends! Dana and Jolie are amazing and SOOOO talented! They are prompt, incredibly kind, speedy, and create beautiful work! I’ve never felt more beautiful, than on my wedding day, and it is all thanks to OUAB! All my girls loved their hair and makeup and everyone of them couldn’t believe how quick team OUAB was! I knew from the moment I arrived at my trial when there was a welcome sign hanging in the door, with my name on it, that Dana and Jolie were a perfect fit for me! Then when a hurricane threatened to derail my wedding, instead of calling me to add to my stress, OUAB called me with backup plans and kind, reassuring words! Do yourself a favor and hire OUAB, you are getting so much more than a hair and makeup team!

    So nice and helpful!

    Hiring Bridal by OUAB was the best decision. I was debating on doing hair and makeup myself but I am so glad I didn't. They did such a wonderful job and Dana was so nice and helpful. Everything came out better than I could have imagined!

    Made me feel like a queen!

    Dana is one of my new most favourite people ever! She did an incredible job of my 6 bridesmaids and my own make up on my wedding day. She was so lovely and kind and so talented! She stayed to perfect timing and was so affordable for the quality of service we got!

    We didn’t have any idea of what we wanted so let her take creative control and she did an outstanding job! We wanted our make up quite dramatic and she used the most gorgeous colour palette for both myself and all the girls, each look was similar but matched the individuals style. You couldn’t even tell we had fake lashes on, they were amazingly picked for each of us and so comfortable. The airbrush makeup was so nice and flawless. I have facial scars from a sports injury years ago and she did a great job and making my face flawless and my scars unnoticeable to me which is something I don’t usually achieve and was so special to me in that moment. It was honestly so perfect.

    If you’re looking for a makeup artist, you’ve found her! The most knowledgeable, humble and talented make up artist. Thank you!!

    hair and makeup

    Once Upon a Beauty did a fabulous job for my bridal party. They were on time and kept on schedule. I let my bridal party choose their own hair and the artists did a great job at keeping everyone different and unique. My bridal party was very happy with their hair and makeup!

    Dana did a fantastic job on my wedding hair and makeup! She made the whole wedding party look amazing! It was as easy as showing her a few pictures and she did exactly what I envisioned. What made it even better was how easy it was to work with Dana. From start to finish, she was professional and friendly. I would highly recommend her!

    My groom couldn't take his eyes off of me!!

    Dana and her team were absolutely fantastic! They made sure the entire bridal party looked stunning. They were patient and friendly the entire time. I can not find the words to thank Dana and her team enough for making our wedding day perfect! They stepped in even when they didn't need to in order to make sure the day was perfect. They went above and beyond and exceeded all of our expectations. Thank you OUAB!

    Jolie is amazing!!

    The Once Upon a Beauty team is amazing. I reached out only a couple months prior to my wedding day because my original makeup artist fell through. Dana was consistently prompt when replying to my emails and always nothing but nice! Jolie was the one who provided all of my wedding day services for myself and my bridesmaids. At my makeup and hair trials she was so understanding if I didn't like something and would fix it until I did. I loved the looks that she did and she made my pinterest dreams come to life! On wedding day she was on time (early, actually) and stayed right on schedule all morning. All of the work that she did on everyone was absolutely amazing and she listened to all of our needs and wants. Jolie made me feel stunning on my wedding day and I appreciate her so much for that!!

    Dana did such an amazing job coordinating everything beauty for our wedding day! The trial was great to have to really explain the look I was going for. On the wedding day, Dana and Racheal really did beautiful work on all the girls. We had 10 girls total getting hair and makeup done. It was a pleasure having them with us while getting ready. The makeup looked FLAWLESS and the hair was so cute and unique for each person. Thank you for all the hard work that day!

    Dana and the team were absolutely amazing! They really saw my vision for my hair and makeup and made it happen. They were so easy to work with, replied very quickly, and arrived on time and kept everyone on time the morning of the wedding. I wish I remembered the name of the woman doing my bridesmaids hair, but I was so impressed with her! She gave each of my girls up-dos that looked very similar to each other but with twists on each one so they looked distinctly different but still cohesive. Dana did both my hair and makeup and really made me feel stunning on my wedding day. We would pick them again in a heartbeat - thank you so much!

    Amazing Experience for Destination Bride

    Can't say enough wonderful things about Bridal by OUAB. I was a destination bride and didn't have the ability to have a trial. Based on reviews and photos I decided to book with them. Everything was so easy from getting a quote to paying for services. Dana was wonderful on the day of my wedding. We had a very short time frame as we got married on a cruise and she was so quick and had us ready to go earlier than we anticipated! My hair and makeup looked amazing and stayed all day/night. Would highly recommend - worth every penny!

    I found Dana and her company after much research. I even went to a trial at a different place first. They really messed up with me, so going to Dana had me nervous. But she listened to what I wanted and executed it perfectly. She was such an expert. She took into consideration what I wanted, what would look good, and what to do to make sure it was tailored for me. She made me look and feel absolutely beautiful for my wedding. Plus, my hair and makeup lasted through the whole thing! I looked pretty much exactly the same at the end as I did at the beginning. Plus, she did an amazing job on my girl’s hair and makeup. She pretty much did it on the fly, because they let her know on the day of what they wanted. Please consider booking Once Upon a Beauty, because Dana is so talented and so nice. Plus, her services are a little cheaper than other places in the area!

    We had an amazing day and it was painted and sculpted so beautifully, elegantly and personally by Dana!! She really was a great addition to our wedding team! She was fun and passionate about getting to know what style we wanted and had a natural feel for which hair and makeup style worked for each different woman and little girl she styled. She really highlighted the theme and tone of the wedding. She is an artist with her work! She was punctual and handled the whole bridal party and extras with ease. She could handle different ethnicities, including Asian, and particulars that come with that. The hair and makeup lasted the whole night with no retouches needed. Thank you Dana!!

    Where do I even begin? Dana was amazing. She did hair and makeup for my best friends wedding. Not only did all look fabulous, but she really just took care of us. She is definitely talented and skilled when it comes to makeup but she is more than that. She was fun, caring, compassionate, and genuinely kind. We spent quite a bit of time together that day and she left as a friend rather than a wedding vendor. I highly recommend her! Thank you, Dana!

    Sara and Dana were both amazing! Dana always responded so quickly to my emails, and they both worked around my schedule to get me in for my hair trial. Sara did EXACTLY what I wanted with my hair for my wedding day, it came out even better than I had imagined. She told me that if there was anything I didn't like about it that she would start over, which I felt was very thoughtful of her. You could tell that she wanted me (and my bridal party) to all LOVE our hair, and we did! I did not pick out a specific hair style for my bridal party, they all chose their own ideas and Sara did amazing with all of them, putting her own twist on their ideas. Cannot rave about Once Upon A Beauty enough! <3

    Once Upon A Beauty is amazing! I had a wedding planned where I live in Michigan. After discussing things with my now husband, we chose to have a small intimate wedding in Florida. We chose our location and date for January 31st, 2018 and started planning. After searching sites online and looking through TONS of wedding day bridal hair and makeup, I confirmed that I LOVED her style the best! I messaged Once Upon a Beauty on January 4th, 2018 and received a quick reply the same day with a quote for my January 31st, 2018 wedding. Dana was so easy to work with which was a necessity when planning an out of state wedding. She was quick to reply to any email I sent. On the day before, we finalized our wedding timeline details and confirmed location and time to meet and when I needed to be done for our photographer. On the day of my wedding, Dana arrived early ready to make me beautiful. You can tell she has passion and LOVES what she does. She has unremarkable talent in hair and makeup design. My mother in law even stated that out of all my wedding vendors, she was "her favorite!". Words cannot even describe how beautiful she made me not just look but FEEL on my wedding day. Once Upon a Beauty is hands down the BEST!

    Dana and her team are fabulous! My bridal party and the guests who used her services could not stop raving about how much they loved their looks. As a nervous bride with very little makeup experience, Dana made me feel completely comfortable and totally gorgeous for my big day. We went through multiple trials to ensure that the look would be perfect, and on the day of the wedding, Dana went out of her way to give me a quiet space for prep so that I could relax and reflect on this most important milestone. For anyone unfamiliar with bridal makeup, Dana uses airbrush foundation, which is so lovely because you feel as though you aren't wearing any foundation at all! It is superior in quality and looks amazing all night long. I highly recommend Dana's services to any bride who wants to look and feel beautiful on her wedding day.

    I can't say enough amazing things about Dana and her team. Dana is amazing--from my trials to the day of, she helped me find the perfect look for my wedding. I have never felt more beautiful than I did on my wedding day--and I owe a large part of that to Dana and her team. Everyone commented on my eye makeup all night long--even the catering staff! My groom couldn't take my eyes off me all night long--he didn't even want me to wash my eye makeup off at the end of the night! Sara and Jolie did an amazing job on my bridesmaid and my mom and mother-in-law...everyone was so stunning! I can't say enough about these amazing ladies and how beautiful I felt thanks to their talent and hard work!
