Meghan was an actual blessing on our wedding. We got married in Maine and I had previously found someone more local to do my hair. To say that initial test with the other person was disappointing would be a gross understatement. I have very thin hair and as such bought extensions. The other person said she couldn't use all of them, and the ones she did use pulled on my hair and scalp in such a painful way that I couldn't wear them for more than an hour or so and the style looked thin and fried. Enter Meghan. Given the exact same tools and accessories she worked actual magic. She gave me wedding hair better than I ever could've imagined or dreamed of. I asked for wild and witchy and romantic and she delivered tenfold. It was so comfortable and long-lasting and I got nothing but compliments on it and she did such a good job integrating the extensions that no one believed it wasn't my real hair. She gave recommendations for which extensions to get and what products to use to prep my hair and was all around amazing. She even helped my groom with his hair last minute on the day of and he looked fabulous too. Meghan was such a joy to be around and was so sweet and kind and helpful and talented that I wish I could get married again just to use her. She's a gem and I will recommend her to anyone who asks and everyone who doesn't ask.

Justine was an absolute joy to work with throughout the wedding process! I loved how incredibly communicative and fast she was to respond to any and all questions. But most of all, I was absolutely in love with my wedding hair! During the trial, Justine really was open to trying out different looks, making subtle changes, and ensuring we found a style I loved for my wedding day. On the wedding day she flawlessly replicated what we had decided on during the trial. While my style was more of a loose curl, some of my bridesmaids have curly hair and she did a beautiful job working with and enhancing their natural curls too. Justine is incredibly talented. On top of it all, Justine is a great person to be around - she is easy to talk to and you can tell she really cares about what she does. I would 100% recommend Justine for your wedding day, and I wish I lived close enough to her to have her do my hair regularly!

I am jumping into my 8th bridal season and am more passionate about it than ever before! Self-proclaimed selfie queen, instagram addict, social media connoisseur, skincare obsessor, pro chit chatter, youtube veteran, og beauty lover, and bridal magician.

I know it sounds crazy, but I may or may not have picked my wedding date based on Nikki and Rachel's schedule. Nikki did my makeup for a friend's wedding 2 years ago, and after feeling the most beautiful I'd ever felt in my life I knew I was going to book her when my time came around. The entire process with Nikki was easy, from my trial to the logistics and all in between. Her work speaks for itself. I can't even count the number of people who came up to me and told me my makeup was insanely gorgeous on my wedding day, and I felt that way too. The one aspect that I feel shouldn't be overlooked is the experience Nikki and my beauty time provided for me on that day. When I say down in the chair, it was the first time I started to get nervous and thought, "Oh my god, this is really happening," but sitting there with Nikki and chitchatting and giggling made my nerves go away. I was so sad when the getting ready part was over because I had so much fun hanging out with them LOL. Thank you, thank you, thank you Nikki for making me feel so insanely beautiful, and for being such a big part of my wedding day. My blast of a morning set the tone for the rest of the day!

With a passion for providing high-quality services and an obsession with Makeup since the age of 3, I’ve been involved in the beauty industry since 2007. My mission is to offer my brides everything they need to look and feel their best.

I absolutely adore the team at Abby Lauren! They are the most professional, kind, thoughtful, and talented group of artists in the business. Abby herself was not available on my wedding day, but she went above and beyond to communicate clearly and in a timely fashion to make sure her team would be ready for the big day! We still talk on Instagram now! I worked with Andrea for makeup and Bailey for hair. It was an absolute dream! It’s like getting your hair and makeup done by two close friends who bring out the absolute best in you! They were so fun to talk to and work with, but most importantly, they made my vision come to life and made me look above and beyond more beautiful than I could have ever imagined! They also did the hair and makeup of my twin sister, my mom, my mother-in-law, and my sister-in-law, and I cannot express enough how beautiful they all looked! Whether young or mature skin, long or short hair, Andrea and Bailey are so talented! Additionally, Emma did makeup and Lynn did hair for my bridesmaids. I cannot rave about them enough! My bridesmaids had different visions and styles for hair and makeup, and they all looked 10/10. Absolutely stunning! Thank you so much to the whole team at Abby Lauren. I love you all! I am so happy you were a part of my special day.

Hello future brides! Congratulations on your engagement! My name is Krystal Dent, I have been in the beauty industry for 11 years now. My goal is to provide my clients with a positive and relaxing beauty experience. Whether you want a soft or glam look, you can expect the utmost professionalism and creative techniques to bring your special day vision to life!

I met Krystal for my hair and makeup trial 8 months before my wedding and knew instantly that I was going to love her. She made me feel safe, confident, and beautiful that day and I knew I wanted her to do my hair and makeup the day of my wedding. On the day of my wedding, Krystal was the first person in the door and ready to go with everything. She helped everyone figure out what kind of look they wanted for the day and used colors and tones to compliment each woman. When she finished with my hair and makeup, my jaw hit the floor. I’m not a makeup person and never do anything with my hair other than put it up in a ponytail. I could not stop looking at myself because Krystal made me feel my most beautiful on my wedding day. I will be forever grateful to Krystal for everything she did for me that day and making me feel confident.

Ruby was amazing at helping coordinate with Gaby for my hair and makeup trial as well as day of. They are both so incredibly sweet and professional. It was amazing having Gaby on-site on my special day. They were very accommodating of last minute changes. My makeup was flawless and lasted all day (and even the next day!). We had a little more trouble with my hair in the back, it fell flat a little earlier than I would have hoped, but could've been accelerated because of the weather (face framing lasted all night and that's what really matters). The makeup and hair on mother of the bride and mother of the groom was absolutely beautiful. I would recommend Brushed!

Henna by Heather

I love creating beautiful, custom wedding henna! From intricate, elaborate bridal mehndi designs to speedy, satisfying designs for guests, I love it all. I have studied Indian, North African, and Middle Eastern henna design in depth, and am happy to create designs in a broad range of strictly traditional styles, or to combine traditional patterns with more individualized, unique elements for a customized henna experience.

Awarded Best of Zola
I'd first met Heather at a Rhode Island PrideFest, and instantly saw how much talent she had. Every piece she did looked amazing, her precision was immaculate. I went to her several times over the years, and when my now wife and I began planning our wedding, I brought up the idea of having wedding henna done. My wife agreed, and I knew immediately that I needed to contact Heather. We met up with her at a nearby farm where she was holding a henna event, and she sat with us discussing what we would like done for the wedding for probably a half-hour or so. She sketched design ideas out, which we loved, and made a contract right then and there. Our wedding henna was stunning. We received so many compliments on it that night, and repeatedly after as it lasted beautifully for quite some time. We still get comments if someone sees wedding photos. Throughout the entire process, Heather was a dream to work with. Very kind and professional, she is exactly the caring presence a stressed bride-to-be needs.
