    BFF should really be Best Friends Forever!

    Bri (hair) and Susanne (Makeup) were amazing during my trial and on my wedding day! They were so flexible and made sure my look was EXACTLY what I wanted. They were so positive and supportive throughout the whole process. It felt like 2 friends pampering me on my wedding day. They absolutely nailed everyone's looks and we all felt SO beautiful!!!

    Best Face Forward- Skin, Makeup & Hair Artists's reply:

    Stephanie- thank you so much for being the best bride to work with! Relaxed, trusting and enjoying the process! We appreciate you and I now think everyone should have alpacas at their wedding!! When you and your mom start your decorating business, we'll be there to cheer you on!

    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.

    Hire Them!!

    Best Face Forward was recommended by my planner, and I am so happy that I booked with them. Kara and her team were very prompt to respond via email to my questions and scheduling as I booked them pretty close to my wedding date. They were attentive to my needs and wrote down all the styles and products during my trial so that we didn't have to worry on the wedding day. Tanya was my makeup and hair artist, and she was so kind and calm and skillful. I was glad that she recommended false eyelashes without mascara and I loved the look and it worked out so well (no risk of mascara transferring to my lower eyelids, which always manages to happen when I do it myself- despite waterproof products). She also worked on my sister's hair and makeup, and it turned out beautifully. I am so thrilled that I booked such a great vendor for my wedding day!

    Best Face Forward- Skin, Makeup & Hair Artists's reply:

    Hi Lesley. Thank you so much for your kind words and for taking the time to do this over the holidays. It was wonderful to work with you and be able to provide services for you and your sister for all of your events. We can't wait to see some photos!

    creativity and elegance at its finest

    The hair and make-up team was so easy to work with. Just after a couple minutes they knew who I was and what I liked and created something that I absolutely loved. I was also a last second change in the line-up and it didn't even phase them. Such professionalism, friendly and easy to talk with also. I cannot recommend them enough. Thank you.

    The bridal party never looked better!!

    My best friend chose BFF for her wedding makeup and nothing but great things to say about my experience with them as a member of the bridal party. Not only were they super professional, great with getting the bridal party timeline on track day off, and super friendly but each of the girls never looked better!! They also followed up promptly with questions I had on what makeup was used so I could purchase for myself (yes it was that good) I absolutely recommend them for your makeup needs, you will not be disappointed.

    Best Face Forward- Skin, Makeup & Hair Artists's reply:

    Nicole- you are the best!!! Much appreciated!! I love being able to stay connected to party members after the event with product access! THANK YOU!!!

    Amazing Makeup Artist

    I was so happy with BFF! I used them for my makeup for my wedding and couldn’t have been happier! From the first phone call with Kara, to my skin analysis, to the trial, to the wedding, I couldn’t have had a better experience! I am honestly horrible with skin care and makeup so I decided to do the skin analysis with Kara before my wedding, and she helped me figure out how to prep my skin for the wedding and what products to use. When I did the trial she helped me figure out the best look for my wedding day since I didn’t know exactly what I wanted other than a natural look. She adjusted the eye color during my trial when I wasn’t quite sure about the look, and then when she did my makeup for my wedding day it was perfect! She came prepared and on time and was so efficient and wonderful on my wedding day I felt special! She did the makeup for myself, my three bridesmaids, my mother, and my mother-in-law and she did such a great job of tailoring the looks to different skin tones and listened to what people wanted. We were a group who doesn’t usually wear a lot of makeup and she did a fabulous job and made sure everyone was confortable with their looks. Even my mother and mother-in-law (who had never had her makeup done by someone else) were blown away! Everyone was so happy and felt beautiful! My makeup lasted the entire day and night and even held up to dancing all night (no running or anything)! Kara is wonderful, professional, and kind and I always enjoyed taking to her!

    Thanks so much Alex for being a great bride and a wonderful new friend. It's been a pleasure getting to know you and help you full service for your big day from skin, to makeup to tan! Wishing you and Tommy all the best!!

    Best Hair & Makeup in the DMV!

    As someone who NEVER gets dolled up, I felt like an absolute princess at my wedding and it was all thanks to the Best Face Forward team! Everyone was super communicative and made my vision come to life!

    Truly Your Wedding Day BFF!

    I loved using Best Face Forward as my makeup and hair vendor for my wedding! Kris and Marta were superstars and made myself and my bridesmaids look amazing the day of! Not only did they do stunning hair and make up but I received a beautiful spray tan for my wedding day!

    Perhaps the best part of using BFF is that they not only help you with their specific services but Kara and her team offer help finding other vendors in the area which truly saves time and effort especially if you are a bride new to the area like I was!

    I am thankful to have found BFF and would recommend them to any newly engaged gal searching for a team to make her feel fabulous for her wedding day!

    Best Face Forward- Skin, Makeup & Hair Artists's reply:

    Hi Mariama. Thank you so much for your kind words and for taking the time to review your experience so quickly. Marta and Kris enjoyed working you and forming a new friendship! You were seriously the nicest Bride ever and just made the experience a joy. You looked gorgeous in the first pics we saw of your big day. We can't wait to see more! Thank you for trusting us completely for your special day so that we could bring your vision to life.

    Amazing Team!

    Kara was absolutely amazing from day one!! I so appreciate the guidance and expertise throughout the communication, preview, and wedding day. Marta was absolutely incredible for our spray tans and make-up. My mom, who only owns lipstick, looked absolutely stunning but still completely naturally herself. Marta's calming presence was exactly what was needed on that wedding morning. Gabrielle was wonderful as well! We all absolutely loved our hair styles and she took such amazing care of us. Marta and Gabrielle felt like part of the family on my wedding day and I can not recommend them enough for other brides.

    Best Face Forward- Skin, Makeup & Hair Artists's reply:

    This was such a kind note full of so many generous compliments. I know the girls felt the exact same way about you! We love all of our Brides but we definitely remember all the sweethearts like you!!!

    Such a wonderful team!

    I had the joy of working with BFF twice this summer — first for my sister’s wedding in June, and again for my wedding in August! Both experiences were wonderful. From the beginning, Kara and the BFF team were so personable and thoughtful, taking the time to get to know us, first through the very detailed beauty questionnaire we filled out, and later on during the trial, and eventually the big day. I worked with Tanya for both my sister’s wedding and my own (for which Alena also joined us!), and both Tanya and Alena were such a pleasure to work with throughout. I appreciated not only what a great job they did with everyone’s hair and makeup, but also how kind and positive they were, making us all feel relaxed and excited about the big day. We all now feel like we’re a part of the BFF family! I would highly recommend BFF to anyone looking for high quality hair and makeup with a wonderful team.

    Best Face Forward- Skin, Makeup & Hair Artists's reply:

    Hi Ashley. Thank you so much for your kind words and your and your family's generosity through both weddings. Tanya (and then Alena) really enjoyed their time with the whole family and were so happy to work with you all twice!

    Beautiful hair and makeup!

    Josh, Kris, Tanya, and Alena did an incredible job with hair and makeup for me and the nine other ladies (plus 3 flower girls) on my wedding day! They kept us on time with our busy schedule, and having four artists meant that we didn’t need to start getting ready at the crack of dawn. Josh made me feel so beautiful with the natural-but-enhanced makeup, and I loved the products he used so much that I even bought a few of them for my own personal use! Kris did an amazing job highlighting my natural curls/texture with an elegant updo that stayed in place the entire night. I am usually nervous about other people messing with my curls, but Kris made me feel totally at ease. Big thanks to the BFF team for making me and the entire bridal party feel gorgeous on the wedding day!

    Best Face Forward- Skin, Makeup & Hair Artists's reply:

    I just realized I had never responded to this one, my apologies I can't wait to share my pictures from your big day! We sure do love our curly hair Brides too! So glad you felt your very best!

    Bridal shower hair and makeup

    Kara was so amazing to work with. I decided last minute that I wanted my Hair & makeup done for my bridal shower and their team made it happen! From the initial conversation asking about my skin and any concerns I have to Kara’s professionalism the day of, my experience was great! She even came ready and with a smile while also having a hurt foot. Thank you Kara for being part of making my bridal shower so special!!

    Best Face Forward- Skin, Makeup & Hair Artists's reply:

    Hi Nicole. Thank you for your kind words, and for being so kind and sweet. It was wonderful to hear about your fiance's service overseas. I'm so glad that you had a great time at your shower, and that I was able to play a small part in your special day.

    Happy bride and bridesmaids

    I had a great experience with Best Face Forward. They were quick to respond to me and were very organized. Some of their rates seem pricey, but it was absolutely worth it. I had Josh, Antonia, and Tanya working with me, my 5 bridesmaids and my mother. They knocked it out of the park and everyone looked gorgeous. Highly recommend

    Felt beautiful and stress free!

    A huge thank you to Alena and Gabrielle for making our day so fantastic! Everyone was delighted with their hair and makeup, which lasted all night long, and they were both such a joy to have with us in the suite! Thanks to Best Face Forward for making the getting ready smooth and stress free and for making everyone feel like the best version of themselves - especially those in our group that don't normally do too much for hair and makeup!! Can't recommend working with BFF enough.

    Best Face Forward- Skin, Makeup & Hair Artists's reply:

    Hi Audrey. Thank you so much for your kind words and for taking the time to share your experience on multiple wedding platforms. You were such a joy to work with even though it could have been a doubly stressful time planning a wedding and graduating at the same time. We are glad that we were able to play a part in keeping your big day stress free, while making everyone feel like the best versions of themselves. We couldn't ask for anything more... Alena and Gabrielle absolutely loved working with you and your party and we can't wait to see the pictures!

    Amazing HMU Team

    Best Face Forward was a fantastic company to work with! Marta and Kris in particular helped me to look and feel the best I ever have--they were so kind and warm, and were willing to think through how to tweak my look into something that felt classic, timeless, and very much like me. My mom, mother-in-law, and bridesmaids also all looked incredible (and once again, very much like themselves!). The team was prompt, efficient, and a joy to have in the bridal suite while we were all getting ready.

    Best Face Forward- Skin, Makeup & Hair Artists's reply:

    Hi Emma. Thank you for your kind note we received, in addition to this review! You were a wonderful and easy going bride for our team to work with. Marta and Kris were so happy to work with you as well, and we are glad they were able to help you look and feel your best. We can't wait to see your photos!!!

    Great experience with Best Face Forward!

    I had a GREAT wedding hair & makeup experience with Best Face Forward! What made Best Face Forward stand out to me from the beginning was their questionnaire process to find out more about my specific hair & skin type - I felt they took extra steps to really get to know me and my preferences. Kara & her team were extremely organized, communicative, and transparent throughout the whole process! I was assigned Tanya for my wedding hair & makeup, and she was SO lovely to work with. She was such a kind, calm presence to have in my “getting ready suite” with my mom, sister, and I, and she did such a great job catering to each of our individual hair & makeup styles and visions. I’ve received so many complaints on my wedding hair & makeup from family and friends. My mom was originally hesitant to get her hair & makeup professionally done, but Tanya did an exceptional job at making her feel comfortable during the whole process, and she LOVED her final hair & makeup look. I’m looking forward to working with Best Face Forward again for my sister’s upcoming wedding in August! Thank you, Kara & Tanya!! (Photos courtesy of Aimee Custis Photography)

    Best Face Forward- Skin, Makeup & Hair Artists's reply:

    Hi Meg. Thank you for your kind words. We loved working with you every step of the way from planning through the wedding day and are so glad that we get to work with your family twice this year! Tanya is looking forward to working with you again soon. Thank you for sharing your photos. It's been amazing to look through them ... they really are AWESOME. You looked so chic and modern for your ceremony and your mother looks so happy!

    Best HMU in the DMV!

    Choosing a hair and makeup team for my wedding was an important and stressful decision for me. I'm very particular with my hair and make up, so I wanted to be sure that everything would look flawless. From the beginning, Kara was a pleasure to work with. After my trial, I was unsure of the style I picked since I never wear my hair up and she very quickly eased my mind about everything. I felt like the most beautiful bride on my wedding day. Gabrielle did our hair and Heather did our makeup. All of my girls + the moms were in love with their hair and make up as well. My mom can be hard to please, and she could not stop talking about how obsessed she was with her hair and makeup. They also made sure to stay after everyone was done for any touch ups that we wanted. They truly go above and beyond for everyone and I would highly recommend them to any bride in the DMV!!

    Best Face Forward- Skin, Makeup & Hair Artists's reply:

    Hi Megan. Thank you for taking the time to review your experience with Best Face Forward, and for being so wonderful to work with. I'm so glad everything turned out even better than you anticipated after your venue switch. What a beautiful day and stunning pictures we are enjoying seeing and selecting a few to share. Gabrielle and Heather loved working with you and your bridal party. We are so glad that everyone loved their looks and felt beautiful for your wedding day!

    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!!!

    Best Face Forward- Skin, Makeup & Hair Artists's reply:

    Easy to work with and beautiful makeup and hair

    From my first contact with Kara to discuss what the company could offer me, through the contract signing, hair and makeup trial with Gina, getting questionnaires to my girls, and everything leading up to day of the wedding, Kara and her team were super responsive, friendly, and professional. Gina, Priscilla, and Josh did an incredible job on my wedding day with my hair and make up, my mother's hair and make up, and all of my bridesmaids' hair and makeup. Everything stayed throughout the night of INTENSE dancing and we all felt gorgeous. Even with my super fine hair that doesn't like to hold anything, my hair stayed up all night and looked fabulous from 2pm pictures through ceremony and reception until 11pm. I definitely recommend Kara and her team for all our beauty needs.

    Absolutely nailed it

    My wedding look was absolutely everything I wanted it to be, and I owe a huge thank you to Kris and Khloe for nailing my vision! I had a pretty specific idea a modern high ponytail look and Kris not only got it right away but made it look even better than the inspo picture. The make-up that Khloe did was the best glam enhancement of my face, I was still me but a much more fabulous version, and it matched my hair and dress perfectly. From the initial conversation with Kara through to my wedding day, the excitement and expertise of Best Face Forward was a highlight for me. The fact that they asked for info for not just me but also my mom and my mother-in-law (I didn't have a bridal party so it was just the three of us) meant a lot. All of our hair and make-up stayed perfect all night long, I have no idea how they did it. I highly recommend that you book BFF! (Photo credit: Bee Two Sweet)

    Thank you, you guys are the best!

    I love Kara and her team. I was matched with Priscilla and Josh and they did a wonderful job. I had reservations when Kara mentioned that I would need to pay a retainer fee before I got my preview, but during our initial meeting she assured me that she had years of experience and as long as I filled out the documents truthfully I would be in good hands. When she mentioned that she had never once paired someone with the wrong MUA in the past 10 years, I felt better.
    I also decided to get a skin analysis with Kara. This allowed us to talk about what I was looking for as well all the concerns I had about how the makeup would work with my skin. Kara was able to talk with me through these concerns and ideas and passed them onto Josh. Come the day of preview, I had a lot of fun. Josh listened to all of my concerns and by far it was the best outcome I could have hoped for. I had some difficulty in choosing colors and Josh helped me with everything, changing colors to let me see the difference and by the end of the day I was very satisfied with his work. Priscilla also worked wonders. I had an idea of what I wanted for my wedding hair style, but I was very indecisive regarding the hair piece(s) I wanted to wear. I also had an idea of having different hairstyles, one for the ceremony and the other for the reception. I expressed this idea to Priscilla and she worked her magic. She was able to create a look which allowed me to have one style for the ceremony then a different style for the reception while only styling my hair once! She also was able to help me choose which hairpiece(s) to go with them!
    On the day of, Josh and Priscilla were amazing, everyone in my bridal party loved their work. They are very professional, always checking with everyone on what they want while at the same time keeping with my request to make everyone look cohesive. I received a lot of compliments regarding my makeup and hair.
    One of my bridesmaids was so impressed by the level of Josh’s work they asked me how to get in touch with Josh so that they too could use them for future events.
    I would highly recommend Kara and her team for any events. They are all a wonderful group to work with!

    Hi Listya! Thank you so much for taking the time to submit a review of your experience. I enjoyed speaking with you and John before booking and being able to answer your questions and concerns. It was great getting to know you at her skin analysis and helping you to know how to make improvements before your wedding day. We are thrilled to hear about your experience working with Josh and Priscilla, including Josh's ability to help you see and select colors , and Priscilla's ability to create a hair style that could be modified to give you a different look for your reception. We loved to hear from Precious and see her photos from your wedding day. We are so glad that you and your bridal party were pleased with your looks and felt beautiful and confident. We look forward to seeing your wedding day photos.

    Amazing!!!

    I found Best Face Forward from the preferred venue list for my venue. From the very beginning, Kara (the owner), was so responsive and answered any questions I had. She is super organized with everything! She will match you with a hair and makeup artist who will create exactly what you envisioned for your wedding day! During the trial, she will take many pictures of your final look just in case anything happens on the day of the wedding. The day before my wedding, I got a call that my hair/ makeup artist was sick and unable to make it :/ but I had not one bit of worry because I knew Kara had everything handled! The day of my wedding, Kara came do makeup for myself and my bridal party and Gabrielle came to do everyone’s hair. They were so nice and added such great energy to my morning of the wedding/ getting ready process. They both did amazing!!! I felt so pretty, just like I felt the day of my trial! And my entire bridal party looked so pretty! Kara is definitely prepared for anything and you are in good hands going with Best Face Forward!
