Flawless All Day, Stunning in Every Photo
Best Face Forward did a great job with our wedding hair and makeup. Everyone looked beautiful, and the styles held up well through the ceremony, photos, and most of the reception. The team was friendly, on time, and kept the getting-ready room calm and organized. There were a couple of small things that could’ve been a bit smoother, but overall we were happy with the experience. If you’re looking for a solid, reliable hair and makeup team for your wedding day, Best Face Forward is a good choice.
Loved working with Best Face Forward!
(From Dana!) Wow! I loved working with Best Face Forward for Hair and Makeup for my wedding. From the beginning, they were responsive, organized, and professional. They do a great job of collecting all the information, from current photos to inspiration photos so they can build a very accurate timeline for the morning of. I also got skincare product recommendations early on so my skin was looking the best it has on my wedding day. Scheduling my trial was seamless and it was great seeing my hair and makeup ideas come to life. The artists I worked with were Priscilla and Alena and both were AMAZING! They listened to what we wanted and also gave great feedback and ideas when asked. As someone who doesn't wear a lot of makeup and who doesn't do her hair often, I truly felt my best on the day of my wedding!
Best Face Forward saved the day at the 11th hour!
My hair and makeup plan fell through just 5 days before my big event (my husband's 40th with over 100 guests), so after emailing a bunch of makeup and hair companies in the area, only Best Face Forward replied. It was wedding season (October) but they managed to squeeze me in and I made it to my event on time with no stress! Norma came to my house and she worked fast with great results; the pictures speak for themselves! She did exactly what I asked for: a soft glam look that still looked like me. My friends and family were all complimenting me at the party and I felt so gorgeous. I was nervous about doing professional makeup but Norma made me look so amazing! Norma really made all the difference for me and I felt so beautiful while celebrating my husband on his 40th.
Great team to work with
I couldn’t be happier with my wedding hair and makeup team! They achieved the look I wanted, happy to work with me on all of the details. The bridal party looked beautiful, and our hair turned out exactly as requested. They were so easy to work with, happily making small adjustments as we went to make sure everything was perfect. I really appreciated how they struck the perfect balance, allowing me to still look like myself. My bridesmaids were delighted as well. Professional, talented, and such a calm, positive presence on the wedding day. Highly recommend!
