How far in advance should I book my wedding date?

We recommend booking your wedding date as soon as your venue is secured. Prime wedding dates (Saturdays from April to October) often book 9 to 18 months in advance. A signed contract and retainer fee are required to officially reserve your date. Please email Info@astoriabeautybar.com

Do you offer bridal hair and makeup services?

Yes! Bubbles & Mane specializes in bridal hair and makeup services for weddings, elopements, and special events. Our team is known for creating timeless, camera-ready bridal looks tailored to each bride’s personal style. We are proud to have been voted “Best Bridal Hairstyling” in the Best of the Boro Awards in 2025, recognizing our artistry and dedication to exceptional bridal beauty services. Continuing that momentum, our team was also recognized as Best Bridal Hair & Makeup in 2026, further establishing Bubbles & Mane as a trusted destination for brides in New York City. We offer in-salon bridal services in Astoria, Queens, as well as on-location hair and makeup throughout NYC and destination wedding locations.

Q: What should I know before attending a bridal hair trial at Bubbles & Mane By Astoria Beauty Bar?

A: For your bridal hair trial at Bubbles & Mane By Astoria Beauty Bar, please arrive with clean, dry hair to ensure the stylist can work effectively and create the best possible look. Bringing inspiration photos along with any hair accessories, such as your veil or headpiece, is essential to help us tailor the hairstyle to your vision. Additionally, wearing a top with a neckline similar to your wedding dress allows you to better visualize the final hairstyle in context. Bridal trials give us the opportunity to test and perfect your hairstyle in advance, ensuring that every detail feels effortless and flawless on your wedding day. This personalized approach reflects our commitment to intentional and ritualistic beauty experiences in a modern, clean environment.

When should I book my bridal hair and makeup?

We recommend booking your bridal hair and makeup 6–12 months before your wedding date, especially during peak wedding season. Popular dates can fill quickly, so securing your date early ensures our team is available for your special day.

When should I schedule my bridal hair trial?

Your bridal hair trial is best scheduled 3-5 months before your wedding, once you have chosen your dress, veil, and accessories. This helps us design a hairstyle that complements your full bridal look.

How long does bridal hair and makeup take on the wedding day?

Typically, bridal hair takes about 75 minutes, and bridal makeup takes approximately 60–75 minutes to ensure a polished, long-lasting look that photographs beautifully. For members of the bridal party, please allow about 45 minutes per service (hair or makeup). Depending on the size of your group, our team will create a customized wedding day beauty timeline so everyone is ready comfortably and stress-free before the ceremony. Our goal at Bubbles & Mane is to ensure the morning of your wedding feels organized, relaxed, and enjoyable, allowing you and your bridal party to fully enjoy the getting-ready experience. ✨

Do you provide on-location bridal hair and makeup services?

Yes—we offer on-location bridal hair and makeup for weddings and special events. Share your date, location, and service needs, and we’ll help confirm availability and create a smooth beauty plan for your day.

This recognition means so much to us because bridal beauty has always been at the heart of what we do. Being trusted to help someone feel beautiful, confident, and celebrated on one of the most important days of their life is something we never take lightly.

From the very beginning, our goal at Astoria Beauty Bar has been to create more than just beautiful hair and makeup — we wanted to create an experience. One that feels personal, calming, elevated, and memorable from the first consultation to the final touch-up before walking down the aisle.

A Bridal Beauty Journey Built with Love

What started as a small salon dream in Astoria grew into a space where creativity, beauty, and connection come together every single day. Over the years, we’ve had the honor of working with hundreds of brides throughout New York City and beyond, creating bridal looks that feel timeless, modern, and authentic to each individual person.

No two brides are ever the same — and that’s what inspires us most.

Whether it’s soft romantic waves, textured updos, sleek bridal buns, glowing natural makeup, or full glam moments, our team is passionate about creating customized bridal looks that enhance your natural beauty while making you feel like the best version of yourself.

More Than Hair & Makeup

Anyone who has spent a wedding morning with us knows it’s about so much more than beauty services.

It’s the energy in the room, the excitement, the happy tears and the calming moments before “I do.”

We’ve been there for early morning call times, veil placements, emotional first looks, dance floor touch-ups, and unforgettable memories that we’ll carry with us forever.

Being part of those moments is one of the greatest privileges of our careers.

Thank You to Our Incredible Brides

To every bride who trusted us, referred us, voted for us, shared photos, left reviews, and supported our small business over the years — thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

This award is because of you.

Your support has helped Astoria Beauty Bar grow into an award-winning bridal beauty destination, and we are endlessly grateful to continue serving such an incredible community.

Looking Ahead ✨

Winning Best of the Boro for Bridal Hairstyling & Makeup only motivates us to continue growing, evolving, and elevating the bridal experience even further.

We are so excited for all the future weddings, destination celebrations, and beautiful bridal moments still to come.

If you’re currently planning your wedding and looking for a bridal beauty team that truly cares about every detail of your experience, we would love to be part of your special day.

With love & gratitude,

Michelle
