I've never felt so beautiful!

I don't have enough good things to say about About Face Design Team! There are so many difficult aspects of the wedding planning decision-making, but choosing to work with AFDT was among the best and easiest decisions we made. They were a JOY to work with in every way. I couldn't have dreamed of a more incredible experience for my wedding hair and make-up!

I got married in Disney in April 2024, but my experience with AFDT started a few months before with booking and coordinating logistics. Nina was an absolute pleasure to work with through this process. Her professionalism, responsiveness, enthusiasm, and upbeat energy made the entire experience effortless. I felt supported, cared for, and excited working with her. So much of the wedding planning can be tedious, so it was an incredible relief to be in such good hands with Nina, who made the whole process smooth, easy, and enjoyable.

On the day of, I had the privilege of working with Rachel (for makeup) and Katie (for hair). WOW! They are truly artists. I have never felt as beautiful as I did on my wedding day. They also did my mother and maid of honor's hair and makeup and we were all blown away by how GORGEOUS we looked and felt. Rachel captured everyone's natural beauty and highlighted our best features while still delivering a glammed-up look that lasted in the Florida sun for a daytime, outdoor wedding. Katie embraced our natural curls (which was really special to me, to be able to wear my hair in its natural curly state) and amazed us with her careful technique, patience, and close attention to detail. In addition, both women were so FUN and so pleasant to work with. We spent the morning chatting and sharing stories, and it all flew by as we we were just having such a joyful time.

I 100% recommend AFDT to any and all - they are the BEST!

Couldn't recommend more

The about face design team has been amazing to work with from the start until the day of. Nina listened to everything that I wanted for my wedding and connected me to the perfect team. Gina, who did my hair, completely understood the aesthetic I was going for and gave me the most amazing curls that lasted all day and night (and probably would have stayed in place overnight had I not showered!). My makeup by Rachel was incredible and the whole team just couldn't have been more amazing and their jobs and just completely pleasant to spend the morning of my wedding with. Also, all my bridesmaids who are very picky about their looks loved how they looked. My grandma, who normally doesn't let anyone do her hair and makeup, is still raving too. Big thanks to my whole team. Couldn't recommend them more highly.
