Vicky went out of her way to accommodate me (the bride) and the mother of the groom for the small…read morewedding we planned in under a week. I wanted my hair and makeup to look special, but still natural and "myself". She absolutely mastered that look (with no trial ahead of time might I add)! My makeup was a beautiful subtle smokey eye just like I wanted but horribly attempted to communicate with about 5 "something like this, but not this" pictures. The makeup she used was of the highest quality- brands I could never justify buying for myself- and yet the prices were beyond reasonable. She curled my hair and left it down just like I asked for, but I was convinced it wouldn't last past the ceremony. Somehow my stick straight hair maintained the most gorgeous, flowing curls all night despite being out in the snowstorm for over an hour. My husband, who swore he hates liquid foundation and curls on me because they always "look fake", couldn't shut up about how beautiful I was. I know it was our wedding day but my mom, who hates makeup, also agreed. What more can a girl ask for? Oh, that's right, a calm, quiet, gorgeous studio overlooking downtown Keene to provide some much needed respite on an otherwise overwhelmingly hectic morning.

Vicky was recommended to me by a friend, so I was slightly skeptical, but after my trials, I did not have a doubt in my mind that she would make me into the most beautiful bride. I brought her photos of what I wanted and she was great about telling me what was possible and what was just an optical illusion for a fashion shoot. I am also not seasoned in makeup, so she took my terrible description of what I thought I wanted and turned it into a masterpiece! On the day of my wedding, she made the bridal suite so fun! It was like having another bridesmaid in the room. We all had so much fun jamming out to 90s tunes. She was really accommodating when I wanted things tweaked slightly and gave me honest feedback on everything. I highly recommend Vicky and her team if you want to look absolutely stunning on your wedding day!

We talked through my desire to add some highlights to blend my root growout and grays into the brighter ends. I showed her some reference photos and she talked me through some recommendations before she got to work. She was super empathetic and checked with me after lightening to confirm the right toner shade and cut to be sure I was comfortable. She was so patient, talented and kind and really eased my salon fears.! The salon has a super cozy vibe and lots of natural light. All of the staff I interacted with were super sweet gals. I will definitely be returning for regular cuts and color and bringing my daughters here too. Thanks ladies!

Having Sabrina as the makeup artist for our wedding was one of the best vendor decisions I made…read more From our very first email exchange to the wedding day itself, she was wonderful to work with- responsive, fun and easy-going. On the day of the trial, Sabrina drove a good hour or so to get to me on a snowy New England day. When we discussed what I wanted for a look, she truly listened and she never made me feel bad about asking for tweaks and adjustments. (It was really important to me to have a bit of winged eyeliner because it's always been my look, and she nailed it in such a classy way.) The make-up looked beautiful and I felt like myself. Between her talent, her upbeat personality, and her prices being more reasonable than many other vendors in the area, I ended up booking her the next day. On the day of the wedding, she was communicative and punctual. My bridesmaids and my mother-in-law looked stunning. And as for me, I felt like a queen. She makes you look beautiful without caking on pounds of makeup. Our wedding was in August, outdoors and 80 degrees, and I never felt oily or gross. I especially appreciated how great she was with communicating via email. I have a busy job and it's hard for me to make time for phone calls, so having that flexibility made wedding planning so much less stressful. She'd always respond within a day or so. Overall, Sabrina is just such a chill and professional person that I couldn't help but feel happy and relaxed on my wedding day. Whether you are looking for a natural look or a dramatic look, I highly recommend Sabrina.

From the start, her team was incredibly organized and efficient -- quick to communicate, clear about the process, and so helpful in determining exactly what I needed. They provide a thorough contract and even offer add-ons like engagement shoot hair and makeup, rehearsal dinner glam, and other in-office services, which made everything seamless. Each time I visited for different wedding events, I left feeling absolutely beautiful. I had the privilege of working with Alayne herself for some of my services, as well as several of her amazing artists -- all of whom were professional, talented, and so easy to be around. On the wedding day itself, the Make Me Fab team arrived right on schedule and worked together like a well-oiled machine. Every one of the girls in my bridal party looked stunning. Alayne personally did my hair and makeup, and she truly brought my fairytale vision to life -- I felt like the princess I used to dream about being when I was a kid. I've already seen a few photos, and I'm in awe of how beautiful their work looked on camera. I felt so confident and radiant all day, and even my husband couldn't stop complimenting how amazing I looked! Everyone commented on how flawless the entire bridal party was. There's a reason Make Me Fab is so well-known in the wedding industry -- their work is simply that incredible. I can't recommend them highly enough!

We were able to secure our weekend with them, and now that it has passed I cannot picture a better experience! Alayne runs her business so professionally, and is extremely well organized and kind, always answered my questions quickly and made me feel at ease about any changes I wanted to make after my bridal trial. Their salon is clean and cozy, and all the women who work there are so sweet! Lilly, my stylist for all things wedding throughout the planning, was truly one of the most talented makeup artists and hair stylists I've ever worked with. She always reassured me about any worries I might have, she was encouraging for me to feel my absolute best on my wedding day, and she completely calmed me down the morning of. All my bridesmaids were beyond complimentary of their looks and the efficiency of Lilly, Julie, and Liz being so kind and helpful, spending time with us in the morning. All in all, I could not recommend Make Me Fab more for any salon treatment or bridal experience if you are in the Saratoga/Albany area. I miss working with them already and can't wait to use their services for the future.

Beauty comes from inside. Inside Christopher Brian Salon…read more Love is in the hair at CBS, and I'm hair for it. Its fearless leader and his team of stylists play with scissors for the shear fun of it, and are the ride-or-dyes you and your hair have been looking for. Nestled into the ground floor of Troy's beautiful Proctor's Theater building on 4th Street, with its highly decorative front facade of brick and marble covered in glazed terra-cotta, it's no surprise to discover that the salon's insides match its outsides. The interior is seriously sophisticated, with light and dark grey walls serving as the perfect contrast against the large floor-to-ceiling windows and big, beautiful green plants that call the bright window seats home. The main floor is a neat little grid of beautiful styling stations, and mirrors, plenty of mirrors - even full wall-length mirrors - except instead of feeling like you're trapped in a funhouse, you're lost at Barney's, and loving it. A fun feature I really loved: each stylist's station is equipped with a mini Husky or Stanley branded tool chest on wheels, including a massive tool chest at the makeup bar. So like, not only does it add a cool masculine feel to the chic space, but I love the message that sends to clients, like, "Yeah, we work with tools, too!" Nice flex, guys. The best seat in the house, however, is in Christopher Brian's chair. Sure, he has a slew of super talented hairstylists working with him, but Christopher Brian speaks hair; English is his second language, and I've never had a bad hair day with him. Facts. Christopher works incredibly fast yet extremely precise, and with the eye and talent of a professional who's been behind the scenes at NYFW. I've long been privy to his next-level hair skills, and I'm incredibly happy to be back in his chair once again. He works in every color of the color wheel, but he's a self proclaimed Blonde Lover/Expert/God, and those are my people, so hair I am! I would behoove anyone with a scalp, and a pulse, to visit Christopher Brian Salon, sink into a luxe chair, and let one of its awesome stylists give you the change you're seeking! In a sea of talented professionals in the Capital Region hair game, Christopher Brian and his team are definitely top-tier!

Carina embodies good energy and it radiates into her work. She was very communicative and thorough in making sure all costs were broken down. She was incredibly flexible to ensuring everyone's makeup was exactly how they wanted it. Some of my girls had a solid idea of what they wanted, others of us not. In both situations, Carina either crafted everyone's face exact to the picture she was following or just making it beautiful autonomously. She was awesome with the little girls as well, which was incredibly helpful. Everyone's makeup stayed fresh literally all night. Overall, I'd definitely suggest booking Carina for your wedding or other events!
