    Highly recommend!

    The team at The Best of You was awesome! I communicated with Kristi and she was extremely responsive during the initial planning process and made it easy for me to plan a trial.

    I had a large group - 8 bridesmaids, 1 jr. bridesmaid, mother of the bride, mother of the groom, and a flower girl, and myself. The weeks leading up to the wedding, Kristi provided a schedule and we didn't have to wake up crazy early! Her team arrived on-time and were so efficient in making everyone beautiful. Kristi did my make up and Briana did my hair - I felt gorgeous and it lasted throughout the day/night.

    The Best Wedding Hair/Makeup in RI

    Kristi, Bri, and the entire Best of You team were incredible to work with. They are extremely talented, down to earth, and know their stuff. They did a really nice job at making sure myself and my bridal party felt and looked their absolute best. In addition to their skillset, they are really good about being honest with their clients. They providing inciteful recommendations based on my vision and making sure my personal insecurities can be addressed, in order to make me feel my very best on my wedding day. They wanted to make sure that we were all comfortable and liked what they produced. In addition to the actual hair/makeup, they are helpful and flexible with scheduling trial times. Being from out of state, planning trials was challenging between travel time and work schedules. Kristi was responsive and made sure that everything would work out. And it did! I loved how I looked and how I felt on my big day, largely in part to the Best of You team. I highly recommend them!!

    Absolutely amazing!

    I got the pleasure of working with Kristi and her team not once, but twice due to Covid. Kristi did my hair and makeup for our elopement ceremony and then again for our bigger wedding celebration this May. She was very easy to work and plan with along the way, and my hair and makeup came out amazing. I absolutely loved it both times, even though we did something slightly different each time. All of my bridesmaids and my mom and mother-in-law loved it. I HIGHLY recommend hiring the best of you! It's totally worth it to not stress about your makeup looking unnatural, or you having to redo your hair on the day of! Kristi made things so easy, and we all looking amazing!!

    Amazing Job!

    I absolutely loved working with Kristi and Katie. My wedding hair and make-up were beautiful and exactly what I wanted. Katie did a great job! Kristi was so patient with me when I was finalizing which of my bridesmaids would get their hair done, there were some late changes to the plan due to COVID. Everything felt very safe and sanitary. It was great that they came to us! I could not give them a better recommendation!

    Amazing Team!

    Kristi and Sarah were absolutely amazing to work with, from the trial to the day of our wedding. They were professional and fun through helping our entire crew look flawless for the wedding, with hair and make-up surviving the hottest day of the summer! They listened to what each person was looking for and the results were absolutely beautiful. Would recommend over and over and over.

    Mallori is the best!!!

    Mallori from The Best of You did my bridesmaids’, my mom’s, and my hair for my wedding in May and she did such an amazing job! I went for a super glam look with lots of volume, shiny bouncy curls, extensions (I brought my own clip-ins), and a sparkly hair vine weaved throughout my style, and Mal completely executed my vision perfectly!Prior to my wedding day, I spent a lot of time talking to Kristi about all my wedding details and vision. I actually had a different hairstylist from a totally different company cancel on me 2 months before my wedding, and I was left scrambling trying to find someone to do our hair. It was such a blessing in disguise because that’s how I ended up speaking with Kristi and booking Mallori, and I couldn’t be happier! My Newport wedding was a destination wedding for me, so I wasn’t able to come in for a hair trial, and Mal actually ended up doing my trail on Kristi’s hair and sending me a bunch of photos, which was SO amazing and so far above and beyond what I could have asked for. On my wedding day, Mal was so sweet and fun, all of my girls came out looking like models, and she spent so much time on me perfecting every little detail and single strand of hair until it was absolutely perfect. I can’t recommend her enough! Mal and Kristi are such a pleasure to work with and Mal will have you looking and feeling like the most beautiful bride in the world!!! Love them so much!!!!

    True Professionals!

    Kristi and her team were true professionals and surpassed my expectations! I had a very large bridal party (9) + 5 additional family members that needed hair and make-up. Kristi was able to make small space work (Castle Hill beach house....which brides, this was wayyyy too small!), but Kristi figured out how to make this space work and stayed to her timeline. She was always extremely responsive through the entire process and actually came to CHI to get me ready for my rehearsal dinner as well. All of the women in my party looked very natural which I stressed was important to me. Kristi is incredible at what she does and made my Castle Hill wedding stress free! Thank you Kristi and team!

    Kristi and Mallory KILLED IT for my September wedding this year. They were such great people and had great energy! They had my hair and makeup to tackle, as well as my bridesmaids and both MOB and MOG. They totally killed it. I could NOT have been happier with the way EVERYTHING went. I had a small hair freak out moment but Mallory was calm and cool and made some minor adjustments. She made me feel so comfortable and made sure I looked PERFECT! Kristi started with a bridesmaid and the rest of us wanted that exact look, she nailed the look with the first girl! We all looked and felt so beautiful. I would recommend this team to anyone and everyone. From trial to day of execution it was flawless. If I had to do the wedding day all over again I would chose them over and over. They're the best! Thanks for the perfect day ladies!

    We chose Studio B and worked with Kristi (owner) and Mallori. These two did an incredible job and did it much quicker than anticipated and was not rushed at all. We did a trial first. For the makeup i didnt have any particular requests and told her just a general “I dont wear much makeup. I dont want to look cakey and want the makeup to look soft and natural.” She did just that in both the trial and the big wedding day. It was natural and I felt beautiful. I actually came out better the day of!
    Mallori did my hair for the trial and for the final day. From the trial which I though was perfect she seemed to make it even better the day of! I gave her a picture of my idea and she did it amazingly and in such a way that I was able to dance all night without my hair falling out. The hair looked soft and not slicked back.
    Both stylists did mine as well as my 5 bridesmaids and the two mothers makeup and hair. All of them looked beautiful and were very happy with their results. I would recommend Studio B with Kristi and Mallori to anyone who asked.

    Studio B was my regular salon and I loved them so much I didn't even have to think about who I was going to book for my hair & makeup for my May 7th wedding. I don't trust my hair to anyone else but Sam! I specifically requested Sam for hair and Kristi (the owner) for makeup, and they added a third stylist Kelsey because I had a relatively large wedding party/family who needed services. They came to us at our hotel in Warwick, and everything went so smoothly. Kristi was in charge of booking/coordinating everything, and she came up with a perfect schedule to keep us on track despite several changes on our part. I also have to add that shortly after booking, I unexpectedly moved out of state and could only be in town one day prior to my wedding (two months before) so they were very accommodating with booking my trial on that day. I thought the prices were a tiny bit high compared to other weddings I had been in in NY and CT, but you get what you pay for and in this case I knew it would be 100% worth the cost! They also don't charge extra for things like false lashes or airbrush vs. natural makeup which was a bonus. My bridal party and I absolutely LOVED our hair and makeup!!! Book them early and I promise you won't regret it.

    Is there a way to give Chelsea and Kristi and Anna 100 stars? Studio B saved my sanity and my wedding. I am a fairly low-key person when it comes to everyday routines but for my wedding, it was so important for my look to be right. I had a trial with another salon previously, and the stylist and I were not on the same page. The communication was just not there, and a different experience at a second salon left me feeling desperate. Chelsea was beyond sweet and understanding, and really knows what she's doing. (Also, my fine hair stayed up all night through all of that dancing!) Anna made all of my bridesmaids look phenomenal too. Thank you both, and thank you Kristi, for putting up with me! :)

    The talent and quality of service I received from the Studio B staff was above and beyond anything I could have imagined ! I chose them for my engagement photos and knew from how beautiful my hair and makeup turned out that I would be using them for my wedding. I wanted a natural yet modern look for my wedding and that's exactly what the owner Kristi delivered ! My bridesmaids walked down the aisle looking like absolute perfection from the studio B team. I would recommend them to anyone who wants a stress free experience !

    The girls at Studio B made me and the girls in my wedding party feel like movie stars. We received so many compliments on our hair and makeup, it was unbelievable. The efficiency with which they worked doing a party of seven girls all for hair and makeup, in a span of under three hours, was like nothing I have seen. They made each of us feel beautiful, and as a bride, that meant the world to me to see my girls so happy with how they looked. A special shout out to Kelly and Caroline for their amazing jobs on my bridal look! Thank you Studio B!!!

    Caroline and Kristi from Studio B were amazing to work with. I cannot speak highly enough of them or their work. They did hair and makeup for myself, my mom, and my bridesmaids. Everyone looked fantastic! I changed my mind about my hair between the time of my trial and the actual day, and Caroline pulled off the new style flawlessly. Kristi did an amazing job of keeping my makeup natural and beautiful. Thanks to them the pictures look great! Not only was their work amazing, but it was so fun to hang out with them during the beautification process in the hotel room. Overall, I would definitely recommend Studio B to any bride. I wish I lived in RI so I could become a regular customer!

    Studio B was the perfect choice for hair and makeup for my August 2 wedding. Kristi and Caroline provided hair and makeup for myself and my wedding party (as well as my mom). They captured the look that everyone was going for. I had a random idea for my hair - braids twisted to side curls - and Caroline took that vision and made it even more stunning than I could have imagined. My makeup was absolutely flawless and lasted throughout the whole day. The girls arrived right on time and they felt like part of the party - so personable and sweet. Very wonderful to work with for your wedding day. If you want to be guarenteed to look exactly how you envisioned for your wedding day, choose Studio B. They are experts in the latest wedding trends and know just how to make you look perfect throughout the day.

    I can't say enough nice things about Kristi, Kelly and Caroline from Studio B! We used Studio B for hair and makeup at our July 2014 wedding. First of all, they were already set up at the mansion before the bridal party arrived. I immediately knew that we would be in great hands. Kristi did all of our makeup and it came out absolutely beautiful. She catered to everyone's needs and brought out the best features in everyone's faces. Gorgeous! Kelly and Caroline did our hair. Each one of us has different hair lengths and types and they made sure they allocated enough time for each person. Everyone's hair came out beautiful and unique. Some girls had little braids, others had curls, and some wanted their hair completely up. They all came out stunning. Thank you so much to Kristi and Studio B for making me feel special on my wedding day and for taking away some of the stress that can go along with it. A++ I highly recommend them to anyone who is looking for a salon for their bridal needs.

    I couldn’t have been happier with my hair and makeup, and my bridesmaids looked great too! Kristi was super helpful in setting everything up. Jess and Sam were very responsive to my requests – I wanted my makeup to look natural and like myself but I also wanted to look fabulous, and Jess nailed it. I also changed my hair choice about a dozen times and Sam was so patient and I was so happy with the final result! They were easy to talk with, professional, and I am so happy that I chose them!

    Kristi and Kelly from Studio B made my wedding day perfect! They we're so easy to work with and knew exactly how to create the look I had envisioned for my wedding day.
    I had 2 hair and makeup trials before finding studio B. Both trails were awful. I did not get that comfortable feeling that these people would make me look gorgeous on my big day. After much research I found Studio B on "the knot." I went for my trial and was instantly sold. They were not only easy to talk to, but did everything i wanted on the first try.
    I got married at the Belle Mer on 9/15 in Newport, RI. Kristi and Kelly came right to the Hyatt to do not only me, but both mothers, maid of honor, and bridesmaids. EVERYONE LOOKED AMAZING! The compliments about how great we all looked were endless. I WISH I COULD LOOK LIKE THAT EVERYDAY!!!!
