Leeza M. Sent on 04/08/2024So glad we hired Stefani
Stefani and her team were an absolute dream to work with. I searched for weeks to find a team that worked with naturally curly hair like mine, and I nearly gave up hope until I came across Bona Fide Beauty Co on Instagram. Stefani was so gentle and intentional with my curls, and worked some magic so that my curls lasted ALL DAY! When it came to makeup, she was able to make my features pop with such a cool and dramatic look. All of my bridesmaids were also thrilled with their hair and makeup - which lasted all day long for every single one of us (7am to at least midnight if you can believe that!). Stefani was so responsive throughout the whole process, and her team was prompt and efficient. I would absolutely recommend Bona Fide Beauty Co! -

10/10 Would Recommend!
Stefani and the BonaFide Beauty Co team are the absolute best! After booking our venue, BonaFide Beauty Co was the next vendor I booked since they’re clearly in high demand and after looking at the photos on their website and instagram, I was sold. Stefani answered all of my questions via email as we figured out all the services for my family and bridesmaids. Since I don’t live in the Lancaster area, I had to schedule my HMU trial for a day only 3 weeks out from my wedding when I was going to be in town for another event and Stefani was wonderfully accommodating. She is incredibly easy to talk to and I had a lovely time with her at the trial and on the wedding day. Her team was very quick at completing all of our services (hair and makeup for 11 of us!) but also thorough and took the time to understand what each person’s vision was for their look that day. Everyone was super happy with the outcome. I’ll also say that even though I danced the whole night away, my makeup still looked perfect at the end of the evening. Would absolutely recommend BonaFide Beauty Co! -

Absolutely loved Stefani and her sisters! They were all the sweetest to work with and made me feel absolutely stunning on my wedding day. So glad I sought them out after reading more on their website; they specialize in braids so I knew they would be perfect for my Norse wedding. The ultimate dream team to work with! -

Stefani is my absolute favorite person. She and her sisters are SUCH sweet souls and do beautiful work. My whole bridal party felt totally gorgeous and they all actually looked like themselves. They were so sweet with my grandmother and just really made our getting ready process fantastic. When I had to reschedule my wedding due to covid, she was the one of the very first vendors I spoke to. She was so kind and supportive and I truly picked my new date to accommodate her schedule and I don’t regret it! She is worth her weight in gold. *I will add professional pictures when I receive them -

Absolutely Delicious
No no no ya’ll don’t understand… Stefani and her team are ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!! She made me feel like a forest fairy goddess and made all of my bridesmaids look absolutely delicious. She is so easy to work with and her ladies made my ladies feel so very loved and beautiful. I cannot compliment Stefani and her team enough. She is the absolute best and complimented my vision with ease. Don’t even get me started on my hair… insane. I would book her and her squad IMMEDIATELY. -

Stefani and her sisters did an absolutely amazing job on my wedding day for me, my bridesmaids and the mothers. I found Stefani originally through Philly mag and knew she would be a great pick.
All of my ladies absolutely loved their hair and makeup. Everyones hair complimented them perfectly and their makeup was flawless and lasted all day. Stefani even helped to calm down the nerves of myself and my mom who was a bit nervous to have makeup professionally done. I would 100% book Stefani if you are interested in her. You wont regret it. -

I reached out to Stefani in 2019 for my wedding in 2020, and she was more than happy to be my hair and makeup artist. Because of COVID-19, I changed my wedding plans multiple times. Stefani was responsive to all of my emails, and she was very flexible and understanding, which made wedding planning less stressful for me. She answered so many of my questions throughout the whole process. When I met her on the day of my hair and makeup trial, it felt like I was catching up with an old friend. Stefani has a beautiful soul and made me feel comfortable the whole time. I wasn't sure what exactly I wanted makeup-wise, and she was more than willing to create a look for me. There were only a couple of things that I wanted to change, and Stefani listed to all of my feedback. On the day of my wedding, she made me look exactly how I hoped I would! My hair and my makeup took my own breath away, and I love seeing how I look in my wedding photos. Stefani and her team also did hair and makeup for my bridesmaids and my mother, and every single one of them was really happy with how they looked. My mother especially had been worried about how her makeup would turn out, and she couldn't have been happier with her makeup after it was done. All of my bridesmaids had different hairstyles from each other, but they all matched the dreamy, romantic feel that I had envisioned for the wedding. Overall, Stefani and her team have so much talent. I highly recommend booking them for your wedding! -

Natalie M. Sent on 05/22/2019Stef is amazing!
When I was looking for a team to do me & my girls hair & makeup for my wedding, everyone I talked to recommended Stef. and HOLY COW did she do an amazing job. Stef is the sweetest person first and foremost, and wants to make every girl feel like a the most beautiful person in the room on wedding day. She was so quick to respond with questions and emails, flexible & so much fun to work with! When we did my trial (which 10/10 recommend every bride do), there were a few changes I wanted to make on my wedding day, and Stef was so sweet and made sure my hair was exactly how I wanted! I could not have felt more beautiful on my wedding day, and my girls LOVED their hair! I couldn't recommend Stef more. She is the best! -

Chelsea Sent on 12/29/2019Stef is a H&MU wizard.
Wow! I could not be happier with hiring Stef and her team for my wedding. Not only is she incredibly talented (she made me look effing amazing) but she is also such a sweet, fun, and kind person! When it comes to hiring vendors for one of the most important days of your life, you need positive vibes and nice people to help you have your best day possible, and Stef definitely did this for me on my wedding day! I had her stay some extra hours for touch ups and I am so glad I did—it was extremely windy on my wedding day and she was there to make sure my hair and makeup stayed in place for all of my outdoor pictures prior to our outdoor ceremony! She is amazing and her work honestly speaks for itself! Highly recommend!!! -

Stefani was amazing to work with and helped me turn my ideas for hair and makeup into an even better reality! My bridesmaids and I were all extremely happy with how our hair and makeup turned out. I truly felt beautiful for my wedding day! (and wow, she is such a genius at adding floral pieces to add an extra wow factor to hair styles!) Stefani and her whole team were very professional, but also brought a great sense of humor. I would highly recommend Bonafide Ginger to anyone planning their big day!! -

Lauren Sent on 10/15/2019The Bonafide Glam Dream Team!
Where do I even begin!? Stefani and her team were an absolute Dream to work with! They made each and everyone of my bride squad feel perfectly gorgeous! Usually there is one person not happy with thier hair and makeup in a wedding party, but not with the BONAFIDE GINGER SQUAD! EVERYONE LOVED THIER HAIR & MAKEUP! I found Stefani on Instagram, and fell deeply in love with her artwork! She was one of the first vendors I booked, because I know she gets booked up so quickly! BOY am I happy I booked her and her BONAFIDE SQUAD! I had my trail, which I went to her house and felt so comfortable! Then I decided to go with extensions on the wedding day. She ordered them, and they matched my hair perfectly ( keep in mind I have highlights in my hair) THEY WERE PERFECT! I get to keep them too -

I was probably MOST nervous about picking a HMU artist for my wedding. I was legit terrified. I don't wear make up. I blow dry my hair, but that's it - I don't use product, I don't even own a curling iron. My photogs had said it's important to get an on-point HMU person because they can ruin the whole schedule of your day if they're not professional. I asked them for a preferred vendors list and Stefani was on it. I honestly wasn't sure how much I wanted to budget for HMU. But I had virtually no bridal party and knew I wouldn't necessarily have the required 6 services many HMU artists want. Stefani immediately appealed to me - she was quick and thorough in her responses, - she was super supportive, - her instagram was KILLER. Oh damn, I thought, these women look GOOD. I was so scared for my trial, but Stefani was down to earth, easy going, fun to talk to and clearly knew her stuff. I had my HMU done professionally a couple other times for other people's weddings and I never liked it. The make up was too dark and they never quite understood how I wanted me hair to look. They didn't do a bad job, but you really want to love the way you look for your wedding! The trial went great! And I knew I was going to be so happy on my wedding day. And I was MORE than happy. I was ecstatic. As good as the trail went, the wedding day went even better. I looked at myself in the mirror every damn chance I got. I kept waiting for my hair to fall apart or my makeup to run/fade/flake. But I kept thinking I looked amazing. Stefani took the thing I was most scared of and made it one of my most favorite parts of the wedding - husband aside :) Thank you so much. -

Casey Sent on 08/22/2018Stefani is a kind soul with an outrageous talent for hair and makeup. She made me feel like the absolute most beautiful version of myself not once, but TWICE, on my wedding day. It down-poured, and my beautiful hairstyle that Stefani so carefully crafted was washed out about 40 mins before my ceremony. Luckily, I had hired her for her additional refresher services, so she was able to craft ANOTHER hairstyle so that I didn't look like a wet dog on my own wedding day! Additionally, Stefani and her team did a phenomenal job on my bridesmaids and Mom's hair and makeup - everyone looked cohesive and stunning, and everyone just had such a good time getting ready for the day with these ladies. Hiring the right people for your day is extremely important - but hiring your hair and makeup friendor is right at the top of the list. Hire Stefani and you will NOT regret it, ever. Also, bring her cheezits & chips ahoy and she'll love you forever :) Thank you Stef + team!!!
