Dream team!
I am so incredibly thankful for the beautiful work the BFF team did for my crew on my wedding day! From my initial call with Kara, I knew they were the right team. In the months leading up to the big day, communication was good, and I felt like Kara really worked hard to make sure my vision was heard. My hair and makeup trial with Josh and Gina went better than expected, and they were very open to a few minor tweaks I asked for afterward. Josh, Gina, Priscilla, and Leanne were absolutely wonderful to work with on the big day. My group, which included myself, 5 bridesmaids, and my mom and MIL, had a wide variety of styles in mind and different comfort levels when it comes to wearing makeup, and everyone ended up with looks they loved. We added on groom’s services as well and they were able to tame my now husband’s notorious cowlick, lol. And the team was very efficient—we even finished getting everyone ready ahead of schedule! I highly, highly recommend the BFF team!I am so incredibly thankful for the beautiful work the BFF team did for my crew on my wedding day!

The hair and makeup artist of your dreams!!
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. 11/10The BFF team was an absolute dream to have on my wedding day!

Highly recommend!! Organized, amazing work, and personable!
I am so glad Kara and Angie provided hair and makeup services for myself, mom, and bridesmaids for my wedding. Our hair and makeup lasted all day through the warm afternoon, rain, and dancing in the evening. I received so many compliments throughout the day on hair and makeup. They made me feel so confident, special, and beautiful on our wedding day.
The team was very thorough and responsive throughout the entire process. They were so attentive and organized that it was one less thing for me to worry about for the big day. I even had to adjust my hair/makeup trial due to unforeseen circumstances and they were more than accommodating.
Kara was also helpful in providing skincare recommendations in the months leading up to the wedding. I used the products that were recommended and my skin was clear for the big day!
I highly highly recommend the team and couldn’t imagine my wedding without them. I am so thankful for their amazing quality of work for a day that I will never forget!!

Great hair and makeup artists!
Tanya did my hair and makeup along with hair for my niece and mother-in-law. She did a wonderful job working with my fine hair and giving it a nice amount of volume with curl. For someone with naturally straight hair, this was quite the treat. I loved the makeup that she did for me and while natural, it appeared really stunning in photographs. She was very easy to work with and provided great guidance on what would work best with my hair and complexion. Highly recommend.Tanya did my hair and makeup along with hair for my niece and mother-in-law. She did a wonderful job working with my fine hair and giving it a nice amount of volume with curl.

Knowledgeable, communicative, and can deliver the glam!
I cannot thank Kara and the BFF team enough for their help with my wedding day. I had two trials with another company that left me so worried about my day of look. Just three weeks before the wedding I decided I needed to go in a different direction. I called Kara up in a panic hoping she would be able to help with my short notice wedding on a holiday weekend. Kara was so communicative and helpful during this time. She listened closely to my previous experiences and my beauty vision. She reached out to her team and was able to find two amazing artists who would be available to help. They scheduled a trial for the next week and the trial was perfect! I was again so excited for my big day knowing I was in the right hands. Kris gave me amazing waves that lasted through the heat and humidity of the entire day and night. Priscilla gave me a soft makeup look with the most comfortable lashes I have ever worn. Together they created my dream glam and I could not be more grateful. If you are considering hiring the BFF team for your wedding you will not regret it. They are knowledgeable, communicative, and truly care about their clients. They will be able to give you your dream glam look too. Thank you Kara, Kris and PriscillaI cannot thank Kara and the BFF team enough for their help with my wedding day.

All star hair and makeup team!
I had the best experience with the team - Kris, Dixie, Marta, and Kara for my wedding. They are all fabulous and had me and all of my ladies looking beautiful for the big day. Kara even gave me skin tips ahead of my wedding that helped my complex/oily/acne prone skin look beautiful for the wedding day.

Flexible, responsive, and awesome to work with!
My sister-in-law recommended Kara and her team after using BFF for her wedding a few years ago. From the start, Kara and her team helped answer all of my questions and were transparent and communicative about the process. Gina did my hair and makeup for the trial and on the big day, and I was so happy with how everything looked! She took a lot of notes and photos about what I liked during the trial and listened to my concerns about making sure the makeup stayed throughout the night. There were also some last minute location and schedule changes we had to make, and Kara and her team were so responsive and flexible about it all. I highly recommend working with BFF if you want a professional and highly experienced team of hair and makeup artists to trust on your big day!My sister-in-law recommended Kara and her team after using BFF for her wedding a few years ago.

Amazing HMU Artists!
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!Gabby (H) and Brenda (MU) were amazing HMU artists for my big day!

BFF should really be Best Friends Forever!
Bri (hair) and Susanne (Makeup) were amazing during my trial and on my wedding day! They were so flexible and made sure my look was EXACTLY what I wanted. They were so positive and supportive throughout the whole process. It felt like 2 friends pampering me on my wedding day. They absolutely nailed everyone's looks and we all felt SO beautiful!!!Bri (hair) and Susanne (Makeup) were amazing during my trial and on my wedding day!

Did amazing job - stayed the whole night.This vendor was recommended to me by a fellow bride. She had a great experience! So I decided to hire them! I am very indecisive person.

Hire Them!!
Best Face Forward was recommended by my planner, and I am so happy that I booked with them. Kara and her team were very prompt to respond via email to my questions and scheduling as I booked them pretty close to my wedding date. They were attentive to my needs and wrote down all the styles and products during my trial so that we didn't have to worry on the wedding day. Tanya was my makeup and hair artist, and she was so kind and calm and skillful. I was glad that she recommended false eyelashes without mascara and I loved the look and it worked out so well (no risk of mascara transferring to my lower eyelids, which always manages to happen when I do it myself- despite waterproof products). She also worked on my sister's hair and makeup, and it turned out beautifully.

creativity and elegance at its finest
The hair and make-up team was so easy to work with. Just after a couple minutes they knew who I was and what I liked and created something that I absolutely loved. I was also a last second change in the line-up and it didn't even phase them. Such professionalism, friendly and easy to talk with also. I cannot recommend them enough.

The bridal party never looked better!!
My best friend chose BFF for her wedding makeup and nothing but great things to say about my experience with them as a member of the bridal party. Not only were they super professional, great with getting the bridal party timeline on track day off, and super friendly but each of the girls never looked better!! They also followed up promptly with questions I had on what makeup was used so I could purchase for myself (yes it was that good) I absolutely recommend them for your makeup needs, you will not be disappointed.My best friend chose BFF for her wedding makeup and nothing but great things to say about my experience with them as a member of the bridal party.

Amazing Makeup Artist
I was so happy with BFF! I used them for my makeup for my wedding and couldn’t have been happier! From the first phone call with Kara, to my skin analysis, to the trial, to the wedding, I couldn’t have had a better experience! I am honestly horrible with skin care and makeup so I decided to do the skin analysis with Kara before my wedding, and she helped me figure out how to prep my skin for the wedding and what products to use. When I did the trial she helped me figure out the best look for my wedding day since I didn’t know exactly what I wanted other than a natural look. She adjusted the eye color during my trial when I wasn’t quite sure about the look, and then when she did my makeup for my wedding day it was perfect! She came prepared and on time and was so efficient and wonderful on my wedding day I felt special! She did the makeup for myself, my three bridesmaids, my mother, and my mother-in-law and she did such a great job of tailoring the looks to different skin tones and listened to what people wanted. We were a group who doesn’t usually wear a lot of makeup and she did a fabulous job and made sure everyone was confortable with their looks. Even my mother and mother-in-law (who had never had her makeup done by someone else) were blown away! Everyone was so happy and felt beautiful! My makeup lasted the entire day and night and even held up to dancing all night (no running or anything)! Kara is wonderful, professional, and kind and I always enjoyed taking to her!I was so happy with BFF! I used them for my makeup for my wedding and couldn’t have been happier!

Best Hair and Makeup Team!
Kara was amazing to work with at Best Face Forward. She is super responsive, organized and gives you all the details you need! She worked with me on every part of my wedding and was ready with her team and absolutely crushed it with all the beautiful looks! It was such a relief having hair and makeup done with the same company and I would use them every time! One of my best friends used BFF as her hair and makeup 6 years earlier to my wedding and she highly recommended them as well. They were well worth their price and I can’t recommend Kara and her team at BFF enough! We had so much fun with the wedding party getting ready and everyone’s looks lasted the whole evening! Thank you so much Kara and BFF- you will always and forever be remembered from one of my all time favorite days!Kara was amazing to work with at Best Face Forward.

Truly Your Wedding Day BFF!
I loved using Best Face Forward as my makeup and hair vendor for my wedding! Kris and Marta were superstars and made myself and my bridesmaids look amazing the day of! Not only did they do stunning hair and make up but I received a beautiful spray tan for my wedding day!
Perhaps the best part of using BFF is that they not only help you with their specific services but Kara and her team offer help finding other vendors in the area which truly saves time and effort especially if you are a bride new to the area like I was!
I am thankful to have found BFF and would recommend them to any newly engaged gal searching for a team to make her feel fabulous for her wedding day!I loved using Best Face Forward as my makeup and hair vendor for my wedding!

Such a wonderful team!
I had the joy of working with BFF twice this summer — first for my sister’s wedding in June, and again for my wedding in August! Both experiences were wonderful. From the beginning, Kara and the BFF team were so personable and thoughtful, taking the time to get to know us, first through the very detailed beauty questionnaire we filled out, and later on during the trial, and eventually the big day. I worked with Tanya for both my sister’s wedding and my own (for which Alena also joined us!), and both Tanya and Alena were such a pleasure to work with throughout. I appreciated not only what a great job they did with everyone’s hair and makeup, but also how kind and positive they were, making us all feel relaxed and excited about the big day. We all now feel like we’re a part of the BFF family! I would highly recommend BFF to anyone looking for high quality hair and makeup with a wonderful team.I had the joy of working with BFF twice this summer — first for my sister’s wedding in June, and again for my wedding in August!

Hi Ashley. Thank you so much for your kind words and your and your family's generosity through both weddings. Tanya (and then Alena) really enjoyed their time with the whole family and were so happy to work with you all twice! -

Amazing Team!
Kara was absolutely amazing from day one!! I so appreciate the guidance and expertise throughout the communication, preview, and wedding day. Marta was absolutely incredible for our spray tans and make-up. My mom, who only owns lipstick, looked absolutely stunning but still completely naturally herself. Marta's calming presence was exactly what was needed on that wedding morning. Gabrielle was wonderful as well! We all absolutely loved our hair styles and she took such amazing care of us. Marta and Gabrielle felt like part of the family on my wedding day and I can not recommend them enough for other brides.Kara was absolutely amazing from day one!!

Beautiful hair and makeup!
Josh, Kris, Tanya, and Alena did an incredible job with hair and makeup for me and the nine other ladies (plus 3 flower girls) on my wedding day! They kept us on time with our busy schedule, and having four artists meant that we didn’t need to start getting ready at the crack of dawn. Josh made me feel so beautiful with the natural-but-enhanced makeup, and I loved the products he used so much that I even bought a few of them for my own personal use! Kris did an amazing job highlighting my natural curls/texture with an elegant updo that stayed in place the entire night. I am usually nervous about other people messing with my curls, but Kris made me feel totally at ease. Big thanks to the BFF team for making me and the entire bridal party feel gorgeous on the wedding day!Josh, Kris, Tanya, and Alena did an incredible job with hair and makeup for me and the nine other ladies (plus 3 flower girls) on my wedding day!

I just realized I had never responded to this one, my apologies I can't wait to share my pictures from your big day! We sure do love our curly hair Brides too! So glad you felt your very best! -

Bridal shower hair and makeup
Kara was so amazing to work with. I decided last minute that I wanted my Hair & makeup done for my bridal shower and their team made it happen! From the initial conversation asking about my skin and any concerns I have to Kara’s professionalism the day of, my experience was great! She even came ready and with a smile while also having a hurt foot. Thank you Kara for being part of making my bridal shower so special!!Kara was so amazing to work with.

Hi Nicole. Thank you for your kind words, and for being so kind and sweet. It was wonderful to hear about your fiance's service overseas. I'm so glad that you had a great time at your shower, and that I was able to play a small part in your special day. -

Happy bride and bridesmaids
I had a great experience with Best Face Forward. They were quick to respond to me and were very organized. Some of their rates seem pricey, but it was absolutely worth it. I had Josh, Antonia, and Tanya working with me, my 5 bridesmaids and my mother. They knocked it out of the park and everyone looked gorgeous. Highly recommendI had a great experience with Best Face Forward. They were quick to respond to me and were very organized. Some of their rates seem pricey, but it was absolutely worth it.

Felt beautiful and stress free!
A huge thank you to Alena and Gabrielle for making our day so fantastic! Everyone was delighted with their hair and makeup, which lasted all night long, and they were both such a joy to have with us in the suite! Thanks to Best Face Forward for making the getting ready smooth and stress free and for making everyone feel like the best version of themselves - especially those in our group that don't normally do too much for hair and makeup!! Can't recommend working with BFF enough.A huge thank you to Alena and Gabrielle for making our day so fantastic!

Hi Audrey. Thank you so much for your kind words and for taking the time to share your experience on multiple wedding platforms. You were such a joy to work with even though it could have been a doubly stressful time planning a wedding and graduating at the same time. We are glad that we were able to play a part in keeping your big day stress free, while making everyone feel like the best versions of themselves. We couldn't ask for anything more... Alena and Gabrielle absolutely loved working with you and your party and we can't wait to see the pictures! -

Amazing HMU Team
Best Face Forward was a fantastic company to work with! Marta and Kris in particular helped me to look and feel the best I ever have--they were so kind and warm, and were willing to think through how to tweak my look into something that felt classic, timeless, and very much like me. My mom, mother-in-law, and bridesmaids also all looked incredible (and once again, very much like themselves!). The team was prompt, efficient, and a joy to have in the bridal suite while we were all getting ready.
