    A wonderful experience with the whole team!

    Kara was outstanding with helping me out at the last minute with my hair and makeup needs for my April 2026 wedding, after I had a tragic trial experience with another vendor back in Jan-Feb. Her and Meg took care of their communication swiftly, and with ease, and are total professionals. They were flexible but firm in their policies, and you can tell they care deeply not only about their brides, but artists as well. Norma was fantastic to work with for my hair and make up needs. She was professional and kind, easy to talk with, and solicited my feedback through the entire process, with the end goal of making sure we were both happy with the results. Yoana assisted with the makeup of my family members and was getting all the kudos from them throughout the day.

    Perfection

    This is my second time scheduling through Best Face Forward for hair and makeup for my younger son’s bar mitzvah. The first time I scheduled was 2.5 years ago for my older son’s bar mitzvah. I was able to schedule through the Best Face Forward website and scheduling was easy and detailed with what information is needed.  Natalie was the artist assigned to me and met me at the hotel where the event was at to do my hair and makeup. She was on time and was invited into my room. It took her about 10 minutes to set up and she started on my hair and finished with my makeup. Natalie listed to how I wanted my makeup/hair and delivered! I felt like a movie star and received compliments all night long.  Kara is honestly a gem and you should look no where else for your hair and makeup needs!

    Absolutely the BEST!

    I'm a photographer that offers hair and makeup as an add-on to a session for maternity, newborn, and family sessions, and I have been working with Best Face Forward for a few years now. All of my clients that have worked with BFF have been super happy with the experience. Everything about the process is easy. I love having them in my corner to help my clients have the best all around experience for their photo sessions! I highly recommend BFF to anyone looking for hair and makeup artists!

    I’ve never felt prettier!

    Best Face Forward - Skin, Makeup & Hair Artists were an absolute dream to work with for my wedding day. Their communication was fast, direct, and extremely organized, which made the whole process seamless. The quality of their work was truly exceptional - I have never felt more beautiful than I did on my wedding day thanks to their talented stylists. A special shout-out to Steph and Riley, who went above and beyond to ensure I looked and felt my absolute best. I can't recommend Best Face Forward enough - they are truly the best in the business and I am so grateful for their contributions to making my special day perfect.

    Beautifully done for all ages

    "I cannot recommend Best Face Forward enough! We had a massive group of 20 women for hair and makeup, and they handled the morning with such professional ease and grace. What impressed me most was their ability to cater to everyone. Our group included women of all ages, and the team was incredibly flexible in adapting to each person’s unique skin type and personal preferences. They didn't just follow a 'one-size-fits-all' approach; they offered beautiful, personalized ideas that made everyone feel like the best version of themselves.
