Working with Rhett!
Marci and Rhett of A More Beautiful You (AMBY) were great to work with! Rhett was our main stylist/communicator--he was flexible and responsive with my inquiry and subsequent questions regarding booking services for myself and 5 bridesmaids for an August 2025 wedding. We were able to do a trial run, and he did a fantastic job making alterations where needed for the ceremony look. Everything held up perfectly, and I felt natural and beautiful! Rhett made conversation with each of us but was calm, easy-going and focused the whole morning. Rhett delivered beautiful looks for all of us, and he was so fun to hang out with! We would definitely recommend AMBY!

Perfect natural glam
My bridesmaids and I loved working with Rhett and Josephine! They did such a great job tailoring everyone's hair and makeup to each person's style while also creating a cohesive vibe. Rhett nailed the more natural look I wanted to fit with our outdoor ceremony - the trial was great, but Rhett made a few tweaks the day of based on my feedback to make it even more perfect. They also did a great job doing the hair and makeup for my husband's mother and my mother. I'm so happy we hired A More Beautiful You!

Wonderful Experience!
As a wedding planner, it is so important to work with an A+ vendor team, and whenever clients are on the hunt for a wonderful styling team, I jump at the opportunity to recommend Marci and Rhett of A More Beautiful You (AMBY!) I first connected with Rhett about 5 years ago when she jumped in to save the day for a client whose stylist cancelled last minute. Ever since then, the AMBY team is at the top of my vendor list for styling. They're quick to respond in communication, incredibly reliable and accommodating, and always leave my clients feeling incredibly beautiful with a style that lasts throughout the day and evening! I cannot recommend this team enough and always look forward to working with them!

Truly made me feel special!
I loved working with Angi! I highly recommend you doing a trial run first, because we were able to spend a lot more time experimenting with different looks so that I felt much more comfortable on the wedding day. Angi did my hair & makeup as well as two of my bridesmaids and did touch-ups for my groom. She is so down to earth and made us feel really comfortable. One of the most important things to note is that the hair and makeup lasted the whole night! Truly grateful for Angi.
