    The makeup and hair artist from Best Face Forward were amazing to work with!   They were great from the first phone call when I spoke to Kara and she put my mind at ease.  They are great at communicating, reply in a timely manner, and have a detailed timeline.  The forms that we had to fill out were super helpful in making it a smooth process.  My originaI hair and makeup artist got sick the day of my engagement photos and Kara was able to easily step in because of the forms.  I decided to switch my eye shadow color after my make up trial and Priscilla was helpful in figuring out new colors.  She was also helpful with figuring out which hair extensions and pearl bobby pins to buy.  Everyone in bridal party had different levels of comfort with hair and make-up, and everyone said how great Priscilla and Stephanie were!  We were even ready before the timeline called for!  I would definitely use them for my next event and highly recommend them!

    The makeup and hair artist from best face beauty were amazing to work with. I got to know Heather and Angie has they were my makeup and hair artist for my big day and they couldn’t have been better! They were on time and got all my bridesmaids done and my mom with time to spare! They were great communicators with their timelines and made sure to really understand my needs. I even did two hair trails and Angie was super supportive about it. All around we had an amazing experience and I would recommended them to anyone big or small wedding party!

  • Great makeup and hair

    I really enjoyed working with best face artists. Unlike so many other vendors, they didn’t require final numbers at booking which allowed me time to coordinate with others in my wedding party. I loved my hair and makeup day off and got lots of compliments on it. I don’t wear a lot of make up day to day and Brenda my makeup artist was so kind and understanding and made sure I felt comfortable at every turn!

  • Loved my experience with BFF!

    I was really struggling with whether or not I wanted my hair and makeup professionally done for my wedding - I wanted something on the natural side, not overly done-up, but also something special that didn't feel like every other day. Then I found BFF! They were the perfect blend of natural and bold, without breaking the bank. They were by far the best price I found (LOVED that they included the trial in the original quote!). I worked with Gina, who was professional and fun to chat with while in the chair. My bridesmaids, mother, and mother-in-law all utilized the services on wedding day, and all had wonderful things to say about Gina and Stephanie from BFF. Thank you to the whole BFF team!
