  • Loving the way we looked

    I absolutely adore Kara and her team. Kara was super professional when we had the phone call, I’m not a big makeup person so while I wanted to look different, I didn’t want to look too different. Gabrielle and Josh did an amazing job with all of our hair and makeup. Their energy is unmatched, I’m so glad she paired me with them.

    The BFF team was an absolute dream to have on my wedding day! The addition of pre-wedding trial was amazing as I went in to my wedding day with full confidence that my hair and makeup would look even better than I could’ve originally imaged. The BFF team really works with you step-by/step to ensure you achieve the most perfect hair and makeup of your dreams. My wedding party also got their hair and makeup done and looked absolutely beautiful. Communication throughout the entire process was seamless and took away any stress that could’ve been had over anything beauty, as well as making sure everything fit into our wedding timeline. I highly recommend the BFF team and will definitely book with them again for future events. 11/10

    Gabby (H) and Brenda (MU) were amazing HMU artists for my big day! The communication leading up the weekend was great - kudos to Kara and Meg for their guidance and admin assistance. The whole process was smooth and everyone was kind and courteous. When my grandmother couldn't make it to our wedding due to health reasons, the team accommodated the situation very well. Would definitely book them again!

    We had a wonderful experience working with Best Face Forward for our wedding day makeup and hair styling. Kara was extremely prompt and informative during the planning process, making it simple to coordinate schedules and share inspiration photos. On the big day, Gina did an exceptional job listening to what we envisioned and making helpful recommendations to enhance our look. She was a true professional, and made adjustments based on feedback to ensure we felt confident and beautiful. The entire team brought out the best version of ourselves, helping us feel relaxed and radiant on our special day. We'd highly recommend their services to any bride looking for skilled artists who deliver exceptional work and thoughtful communication.
