My bridesmaids and I loved working with Rhett and Josephine! They did such a great job tailoring everyone's hair and makeup to each person's style while also creating a cohesive vibe. Rhett nailed the more natural look I wanted to fit with our outdoor ceremony - the trial was great, but Rhett made a few tweaks the day of based on my feedback to make it even more perfect. They also did a great job doing the hair and makeup for my husband's mother and my mother. I'm so happy we hired A More Beautiful You!

Marci and Rae were so easy to work with. They are very organized and showed up right on time. All of my bridesmaids, mother, and mother-in-law looked amazing thanks to Rae. Do not hesitate to book with them!!

Angi and Rae were awesome! They were super efficient, and even managed to squeeze in an extra spot for my grandmother while still finishing ahead of schedule. My makeup and hair didn't budge, which was really impressive since the temperature was in the 90s on our wedding day! I can't recommend them enough!

Marci and her two assistants were incredible. They did such a good job on all of the girls (and even the groom) I would recommend them to anyone!

I loved working with Angi! I highly recommend you doing a trial run first, because we were able to spend a lot more time experimenting with different looks so that I felt much more comfortable on the wedding day. Angi did my hair & makeup as well as two of my bridesmaids and did touch-ups for my groom. She is so down to earth and made us feel really comfortable. One of the most important things to note is that the hair and makeup lasted the whole night! Truly grateful for Angi.

Marci was wonderful! She is extremely flexible when it comes to small weddings and was able to do my mom's hair and makeup in addition to myself (the bride). The trial was excellent, and she was right on time at the venue. Also, the hair and makeup was gorgeous! I really did feel like a princess. She even helped me change my lip color last minute to something more red, and it helped bring out my face in the photos. I highly recommend this place.

Marci was a lifesaver for my wedding in June of 2022! I had booked services with another company who were unable to accommodate additional services for the mother of the bride and mother of the groom. Marci was very helpful in getting our services scheduled with short notice. She did hair and makeup for the mother of the bride and groom. The mother of the bride had to say " She was very personable and professional. She took pride in her job and said she loved what she did and was proud to play a small part in such important occasions. She took a lot of time to see what what colors looked the best on me." Thank you so much Marci!

Marci and her team were awesome to work with!! She was responsive and flexible as we finalized our wedding day timeline, and did everything possible to make sure our hair and makeup process was fun, relaxing, and efficient. The results were beautiful - my bridesmaids and I did a variety of natural makeup looks with both updos and long hairstyles, and Marci, Angi, and Conni did a great job of bringing the looks we wanted to life. Highly recommend working with this team for your wedding!

After completing my makeup and hair trial with Marci, I was nothing but excited to see her on my wedding day. Not only did she and Rae provide flawless, detailed work to me and my bridal party, but they made it feel like we were just a group of friends catching up while doing so. This may have done more than anything else to help ease my nerves as I prepared to walk down the aisle. For a group of wildly different hair types and facial features, the AMBY team made each woman feel special and beautiful . The professionalism, care, and expertise Marci and Rae showed cannot be beat.

Marci was AMAZING. She is extremely talented. She was very very easy to work with and communicate with. She did the hair for me, all of my bridesmaids, and both moms. Everyone was SO happy with how their hair turned out. She was able to put my vision to life, and I could not be happier. She is a true professional, yet affordable. I would definitely HIGHLY recommend A More Beautiful You to anyone looking for bridal hair needs!
