I cannot say enough positive things about The Best of You. Kristi was so helpful during the planning stages, and the team that I worked with on wedding day was fantastic (Briana for hair, Carmen for makeup). They did such an incredible job executing my vision, and were just the sweetest girls to work with. Highly recommend working with The Best of You for your wedding!

The BEST bridal hair and makeup in the New England area! I didn't have a bridal party (just me, my officiant, and sister) and had the hardest time finding a team who didn't have a large party minimum or price minimum that I wouldn't be able to hit with three people until I found Kristi & team! Everything went so smoothly from the trial to day off and the team was incredibly attentive to my inspiration pics and notes. Would 100% recommend to any bride in the area!

Kristi (the Best of You) was so lovely to work with!! She was super responsive and great with planning and scheduling, and her team was prompt and did a wonderful job. Kristi absolutely killed it with my wedding makeup! I wanted soft/glam natural and she delivered. My makeup felt light and I looked like myself, but she covered all my blemishes and it lasted all night. The glam waves Krystal gave me were AMAZING, out of this world, just wow! My hair has never (and probably never will) look better.

I loved working with Briana (hair) and Kristi (makeup/owner). During the trials they were both so attentive and easy to talk to. My mom and I don’t wear a lot of makeup and we were both nervous about looking overdone. Kristi was incredible and made easy adjustments to put us at ease and we looked gorgeous. I did two trials with Briana and she also was so patient and happy to tweak and test with me. The day of they were on time, efficient, and great with me and all my girls. We looked amazing by they were done, and they were done a little early! I loved working with them. 10/10 recommend!!

What an amazing experience! Kristi and her team were the absolute best — they are all extremely talented and were genuinely fun to spend time with as myself, mom and bridesmaids got ready the morning of my wedding day. Everyone absolutely loved how both their hair and makeup turned out and both lasted the whole night! They truly helped to make it the best day. I couldn’t recommend The Best of You more!

I had wanted to work with a makeup artist who specialized in softer, "elevated natural" looks, and found exactly what I was looking for in Best of You, Inc. Kristi and Patience were the makeup artists for my 6/22 wedding, and even though they had to do makeup for 11 of us, they were incredibly efficient, and did a wonderful job to boot. I've been in many weddings over the years, and this was the first time EVER that makeup ran early--which, as a bride, was an absolute dream. Nothing felt rushed, and everyone's makeup was not only gorgeous but held up all night long; our ceremony was at 2 and reception at 6, and despite dancing HARD the entire night, absolutely nothing budged. I had previously used Best of You for makeup for my engagement shoot, which turned out just as beautifully. Lastly, I have to say that Best of You was one of the most reasonably priced HMU vendors I found (so many charge astronomical prices!), making it possible for all of my bridesmaids to comfortably get their makeup done. Highly recommend working with them on your big day.

Kristi and Lauren were absolutely wonderful for our makeup and hair services. They were easy to communicate with and brought everyone's beauty visions to reality on wedding day! As the bride, it was super easy to coordinate trials, and both Kristi and Lauren were receptive to any feedback to help create the perfect look. I loved working with them both!

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.

Best of You Beauty was perfect for my wedding day! I absolutely recommend them. Gabby perfectly captured the "natural-enhanced" look I was going for. I knew I didn't want glam makeup and wanted to be more natural looking, but not a no make-up look. At my trial I felt so comfortable in her hands and she was super receptive to my feedback. On my wedding day I couldn't have asked for a better experience! There was no stress whatsoever. The team arrived a little early to setup, everyone chatted and laughed all morning while getting ready, and we were done right on schedule. Everyone's hair and makeup came out beautifully! Natural looking and glowy skin with no cakey-ness, shadow and brows were great and nothing too dark or dramatic. My wedding day ended up being 80+ degrees with 80%+ humidity (essentially a tropical climate) and everyone's makeup lasted all day and night through tons of sweat and happy tears, no streaking. Couldn't have asked for a better experience!

Kristi was amazing to work with for my wedding. All of the stylists who worked the day of my wedding were unbelievable to work with and helped me as I was handling the wedding morning nerves. The hair and makeup came out so beautifully for me and my bridesmaids and I wouldn’t recommend anyone else to work with.
Thank you again!

Kristi and Bri did gorgeous work for myself and all the girls! Super easy to work with and for someone like me who doesn’t dabble in too much hair and makeup maintenance, did an unbelievable job. Kristi is a true artist and understood the vision for my wedding day. She gave me a natural look that didn’t look “caked on” which was my biggest fear. It also lasted the entire day and it was pretty humid out there!! Bri was also awesome with hair. She did a half up half down look that was gorgeous. Took my inspiration off the page and made it real!! Even with battling humidity and the dance floor by the end of the night I was still in tact and looking beautiful! All of my bridesmaids and my mom also looked gorgeous! Gave plenty of time to accommodate everyone and finished early for photos. Just overall super fun to work with.

Kristi, Briana, and Alex were great to work with for my wedding in May! Kristi helped me piece together my makeup look based on various inspo pictures I had. I left my trial really loving my makeup and seeing it all come together with my wedding dress and hair on my wedding day made me fall in love with it all over again. It was perfect and I’m so happy with how it came out. For my hair, I had done a trial with Briana without hair extensions. I really liked how my hair came out but knowing I had shorter, fine hair I wanted to explore getting extensions. She gave me recommendations for where to purchase clip-ins, and after they came in, I did another hair trial with them, with a different hair style. I loved my second trial too and ultimately combined the 2 looks together, the hairstyle from the first trial with the clip-ins for more length and volume. My updo came out so beautiful and I can’t thank Briana enough! Even though it rained on my wedding day, my hair and makeup held up perfectly! Alex came in to do the makeup on my mom and bridesmaids and he did a wonderful job too. Everyone looked stunning in an elevated way of their natural beauty. Not too overly glammed which was perfect for the look and feel of my wedding. I can’t thank The Best of You team enough and highly recommend them for your wedding day hair and makeup!

Working with the team at Best of You was wonderful. Brianna did my hair and Patience did my makeup and I felt beautiful on my wedding day. They made everything from the trial to the wedding day enjoyable and everyone looked great. They also did a great job utilizing my inspo pics. I would recommend any bride to hire The Best of You.

Kristi, Brianna & their team are wonderful! The day before my wedding I got a sunburn. I texted Kristi asking if there was anything she could do to help. The next day she brought fresh aloe for my burn, and flawlessly covered my sunburn so you couldn't even tell it was there. Brianna did an amazing job on my hair. My bridesmaids were happy, and my wedding look lasted all day. Overall an excellent experience!

We used Kristi and her team for my April wedding and I couldn't be happier. From the beginning, they were easy to work with. I showed some reference photos for hair and makeup inspiration and Kristi and Briana did an incredible job matching exactly what I was looking for. Kristi also created an entire schedule for the morning of my wedding when I was getting ready with my 7 bridesmaids. She took the stress out of that morning and everyone loved their hair and makeup. I would absolutely recommend this team to any bride in the future.

Everyone that I worked with at the Best of You was so lovely! Kristi is extremely professional and let me know all the pricing / plans / schedule / etc well in advance which was very helpful to me as a super type A person! She also did beautiful makeup on all my girls and listened to their personal preferences since some of them do not wear make-up often at all!
Briana did my hair and she was a delight to work with and I also really appreciated her honesty! When I told her what i wanted at my trial the first thing she did was caution me that the style does not work on all hair-types and that we may need to consider an alternative! I really appreciated this because if she didn't care about me / what she was doing she could've just let my hair fall and it would've been my problem not hers! But everything turns out perfectly thanks to their professionalism, kindness, and honesty!
Cassie and Liza also did hair for a lot of my bridesmaids and they were so kind and fun and comfortable to have with us getting ready all day! They just felt like they belonged.
I would definitely recommend the Best of You to anyone in the area! I hope to have the opportunity to use their services again in the future.
Thank you again to Kristi, Briana, Cassie, and Liza for everything! I wish you all the absolute best!

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!!

The team at The Best of You is incredible! My bridal party and I had the opportunity to work with Krystal, Liza and Alex on the day of the wedding. Throughout the process Kristi helped answer all of my questions, ensured we had enough time to get ready, and even helped me extend the services we need the week of the wedding. On the day of the wedding Krystal, Liza and Alex did an amazing job. They were fun to be around and brought great energy as we were getting ready for the big day. My entire bridal party (many of whom have been in countless weddings) could not get over how amazing the hair and makeup was and how it lasted, flawlessly, all night. THANK YOU to this team for everything!

Bryanna and Liza were amazing the day of the wedding!! They were on point with everyone hair and listened to exactly what we all wanted! I had forgot my special hair pin and Liza had an extra one and immediately provided it to me without a second thought. They were timely, very sweet, and super easy to work with.
I rated this 4 stars as at times the owner of this business was difficult to get in touch with. I had to call the hair salon twice to get in touch with her as they are not quick with responding but I do understand wedding season is peak at this time. Once I did call the salon I was able to get a hold of her pretty quickly.

It was honestly SUCH a pleasure working with Kristi, Briana, and the rest of The Best of You team! Briana nailed the vision for my hair the very first trial. She is fun to work with, and obviously great at what she does! Kristi is amazing! And was so patient with me. I wanted a natural makeup look, and was really nervous that I would look too overdone (I don’t usually wear a lot of makeup). Kristi is so knowledgeable, and so easy to work with. She listened to what I wanted, and executed it perfectly. I felt like myself, but just a better version And the makeup lasted all night, even after lots and lots of dancing! All of my bridesmaids looked absolutely beautiful as well. If you are looking for a hair and makeup team for your wedding, I HIGHLY recommend you work with them!

I’m so happy that I chose Kristi/The Best of You Inc for my wedding hair and makeup! I don’t wear much makeup in general and was a little worried it would be “too much” and I wouldn’t look like myself, but Kristi made sure my hair and makeup were so classic and natural and truly me. She encouraged me to give feedback based on my trial and made tweaks for my wedding day. She and Briana also did a beautiful job for my bridesmaids (my sister even said she liked her hair more than at her own wedding!). They were a calming presence on a somewhat hectic day, and I couldn’t be more pleased with how everything turned out!

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 a VERY 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 help me get me ready for my rehearsal dinner the night before as well. Kristi is incredible at what she does and made my Castle Hill wedding stress free! Thank you Kristi and team!

Kristi, Briana, and Johnna did a fantastic job! I've never felt so beautiful. Consultation was a breeze, they executed my vision perfectly. All the ladies in my group had fun getting their hair and makeup done. Stylists arrived on time and worked quickly without making anyone feel rushed. They were flexible and patient about a number of timeline adjustments that had to be made (no fault of theirs, entirely on my end). We had a wide range of ages getting styled and everyone looked gorgeous - from 21 to 70! I have thin, shoulder length hair and wanted a rather large clip and pin set put in - and I was so worried it would fall out or get loose throughout the night! It stayed 100% secure all night long through lots and lots of dancing. Makeup needed no touch-ups other than a little lipstick reapplication after dinner. I don't usually wear any makeup, and Kristi was able to design a look that was glamorous without causing any discomfort. I highly recommend Best of You!

I felt so beautiful on my wedding day- thank you for the make up service you provided to me and my wedding party. I found Kristi on the Knot & messaged her right away because her gallery was beautiful. I took a leap of faith booking her because I live in Las Vegas and wasn’t able to do a consult trial with her, but we messaged a lot about what I was looking for and I trusted she would do a great job. We actually did our trial for the rehearsal dinner the night before the wedding. Risky business!! But it was perfect. Not only did she do a great job but she vibed with my wedding party really well, and even helped us take a few fun videos for our Instagram stories getting ready. I would highly recommend her.

Look no further! Kristi is just fabulous!
I had a couple of makeup sessions prior to my wedding - loved her work. Kristi came to the venue, provided hair and makeup for us and did a fabulous job!
I appreciate how she listened to my sister, niece and step-daughter to provide them just what they wanted. I thought she did a wonderful job with my makeup, it lasted the whole evening too!
I highly recommend Kristi, use her services not just for weddings, but any important event where you want to project - fabulous!!

When I first booked a hair and makeup vendor, I was admittedly nervous. It is such a huge part of what makes a bride (or groom) feel beautiful on their wedding day, and it takes a lot of trust to put that into someone else's hands! I could not be happier with the decision to entrust Kristi and her team at The Best of You with my wedding party's hair and makeup. I had a very large bridal party, with about 15 people (including family) needing their hair and makeup done on my wedding day. The Best of You team arrived exactly on time and in full force! They brought a team of five extremely talented hair and makeup artists, each of which made every single person look as though they had stepped off of the runway. Everyone’s makeup was perfect, not overdone, and our hair held all night long. The artists themselves were also so much fun! We had a blast getting ready with Kristi and her team, and they were all so accommodating. I will say, at times it took a while to get email responses, but do not be discouraged by this! They will get back to you, and if they say they will be there, you can count on it! I cannot recommend The Best of You enough!! We felt so lucky that they were available for our wedding day!

I was so hesitant to have my makeup done as I really wanted to still look like myself but didn't want to screw it up on the day of. Kristi assured me that she would work with me to make sure I loved how I looked and I did! I loved having Kristi as my makeup artist. We did a trial at the salon and she was very receptive to the little tweaks I wanted and she took notes to make sure we were ready for the wedding day. On the wedding day, she came to the house we had rented to do our makeup. My girls RAVED about their makeup and were thrilled with their lashes which were included as well. She was very communicative, timely and affordable. I was actually offended by some of the prices that other makeup artists were charging (like, really? It's going to take $300 of makeup to make me look my best?). But Kristi's prices were reasonable and I was very happy with the outcome. Highly recommend!

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!!

Kind of disappointed! I was really excited to work with this company because one of my friends used to work with the owner. I felt like the whole time I had to reach out to them, and they never reached out to me about the schedule for the day, the trials, etc. I know it’s hard during Covid but I felt like there was lack of communication. Then what really confused me was my hair trial was not with the same person who showed up on my wedding day. So I had two different similar hair styles. They both did a good job, but my trial hair was better than the day of hair.

Hi Corrine,
First, thank you for your feedback, it is always helpful to know where we can ...
improve the client experience. COVID definitely presented us with challenges we had never encountered before and I am sorry that your experience with us was not what you had expected for your November 2020 wedding. We did have to make some adjustments with your beauty team due to COVID related issues and us wanting to provide you and your bridal party with the highest level of safety. It is highly unusual for us to book a trial with a stylist who will not be the wedding day stylist and again I am sorry we had to make that switch on you.

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!

I found The Best of You on Instagram and was very impressed by the photos in their gallery. I hired them for my bridal makeup as well as for my bridesmaids, mother & mother-in-law. I could not be happier with the outcome! They are extremely talented, poised & professional. I had a trial with Kristi a few months prior and could tell right away even before she did my makeup that I was going to hire this team. I wanted someone who was not only talented with makeup application, but who also had a calm and soothing energy. The trial was fun and I felt completely comfortable giving her feedback. I was completely relaxed the entire time on the big day and we all had so much fun. The makeup far exceeded my expectations and lasted the entire day/ night. I felt flawless and fabulous! I would recommend this team to anyone, you won't be disappointed!

They were punctual and worked fast while delivering quality work. My trials also were awesome! The only stressor was that the time leading up close to the wedding, communication was not great. I had asked for a beauty schedule to review with my wedding planner and my bridesmaids about 1.5 weeks before my wedding and did not hear anything until 2 days before my wedding. That caused me a lot of stress during an already stressful time, but I was just happy everything turned out as great as it did. Overall, I would definitely recommend this team for your beauty needs.

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!!!!

Kristi, Caroline and the rest of her amazing team did an incredible job for my wedding this past May. Kristi had done my sister in laws wedding 2 years ago and as soon as I saw how talented she was I knew that I would need her for the day of my wedding. Prior to my wedding trial she asked me to save some pictures of the makeup look I was going for. I brought them in the day of the trail & she absolutely nailed it. The day of my wedding she was as calm as a cucumber and did an outstanding job of making everyone look beautiful. One word I would also use for Kristi is she's PATIENT with every single bride and bridesmaid I've seen her work on, which to me, speaks volumes when it comes to the kind of person she is professionally and personally. I would highly recommend Kristi and her team (in fact I already have to every bride that has asked for a makeup artist). You will not be disappointed! Thank you for making me feel like the most beautiful bride, Kristi!

I cannot explain how amazing Kristi is. She is the absolute best in the industry. I have worked with her in the past for my friends weddings and knew I could trust her when it came to my own. So much in the weeks leading up to my wedding went wrong. I was a ball of stress and anxiety the morning of. But once Kristi starting doing my makeup I felt at ease and I had complete trust in her.
I can’t put Into words how amazing I felt when I saw myself after she did my makeup. Not only did my makeup look flawless but it was also natural.
Every bride just wants to feel like her best and most beautiful, and Kristi and her team definitely helps you achieve that feeling.

Kristi and Mal were fantastic. We had our services in salon as our ceremony/reception was right next door at NYLO. They were so accommodating in scheduling and letting us utilize some space in the back of the salon to enjoy my wedding morning with my bridal party.
I felt so amazingly beautiful with my whole look. My hair was exactly what I wanted and when I took it down later in the night it still looked perfectly styled. My makeup was flawless the entire day. I wish I could be done up like that all the time!
Everyone was so pleased with their services (My sister is never happy with getting her hair done and loved it! My mother-in-law had never had her makeup done before and she felt so special). I would choose The Best of You over and over again, they were definitely one of my best vendors!

Kristi (make-up) and Sarah (hair) 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.

Mal and Kristi were beyond incredible to work with. They listened to exactly what I wanted and made me look even better that what I was picturing. The day of the wedding was hot, humid and drizzly but our hair and makeup stayed perfect all day and night. I could not have been happier. Thank you ladies for everything!

Every single aspect of this team was absolute class! Working with Kristi and the Studio B team was nothing but easy up to the BIG DAY!!! The hair and makeup was absolutely stunning, my wife, daughter and the entire wedding party glowed throughout the day. I would recommend this to any father looking to see the best of his daughter on the biggest day of her life.

I would highly recommend Studio B Salon! They were absolutely amazing to work with. Kristi and Mal made me feel completely comfortable during my consultation and I felt so beautiful on my wedding day. They were so much fun to have with us the morning of, they felt like part of the bridal party. Mal seriously worked magic on my hair with one of the most beautiful updo's I've seen. I was so happy with how everyone's hair and makeup came out. So professional and personable!

I wish Mal and Kristy could do my hair and make-up everyday forever. These girls along with Sarah and Brianna were absolutely incredible. All of my bridesmaids looked STUNNING and even better they all felt so beautiful. Not only were these four girls amazing at their craft but they were an absolute pleasure to work with, and we had fun with them being with us in the morning. I would recommend them 100 times over. I have never felt so beautiful. I am forever grateful for them.
