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!

Hi Laura! It has always been a pleasure working together for other mutual clients, but was incredibly rewarding to work for you on your wedding day. Our team all loved working with you and your kind and generous party, and we are thrilled that you all loved your final looks. You were a very special bride for us to work with this year. We've loved seeing the photos of your wedding day and the pure joy emanating in every picture. We were honored to be your choice for hair and makeup services.

Team was amazing

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. The artist knew exactly what would look good - Hair and Makeup. I loved the trail. Changed lip color and added volume to hair. The day of wedding - again GREAT! On time - Got done in time. Did amazing job - stayed the whole night.

Great team that makes you feel your beautiful self!

My partner and I were very nervous about hair and makeup because we do not wear makeup normally. Kara made us feel comfortable and was very communicative and flexible with our ideas. After a trial run where we still felt maybe it was too much she helped us feel better and talked us through adjustments. And it turned out perfect!! We felt beautiful but still natural and ourselves on our wedding day. We are so grateful for Khloe, Dixie, Josh, and Kara for all they did to make our day so special. Thank you!!!
