A Toast to Beauty

ttentive to my preferences, creating a look that was both stunning and natural. My hair and makeup held up flawlessly throughout the day, and I received countless compliments. I wholeheartedly recommend this company for any bride looking for perfection on her wedding day.

more as a bride for "phone consultations to ensure we do not miss a single detail" and "time spent coordinating schedules" I expect that to be done correctly without me having to oversee it. That's what I'm supposedly paying for. Instead, they added a ton of stress just days before our wedding and therefore were our least favorite vendor we chose. Our initial quote was expensive and 10 days before the wedding when we quite literally didn't have more to spend, it only went up. In the FAQ they explain "Some venues do not allow the bridal party to arrive early and in most cases our stylists begin services around 7:00-8:00 am on average. (timing varies per wedding) In these cases, we recommend getting ready at a hotel or residential home nearby." But when I gave them our timeline and headcount months in advance, nothing was said. I remember thinking it was odd that they didn't have any concerns but I figured I just didn't understand how quickly they can do the services because I'm not in the industry. And again, I was paying someone to oversee the timeline planning. I paid, they said thanks, and 10 days before the wedding they sent me a "carefully curated" timeline that started multiple HOURS before we had access to our venue. They had never reached out to suggest we find a different location (hint: we didn't have one). The solution was that we hire a third stylist to ensure we could finish on time. So.... more money for them. Why wasn't this glaring error not brought to my attention sooner? God knows I had 1,000s of other details I was focused on. I'd certainly paid enough to warrant a heads up, given the "coordinating schedules" and "do not miss a detail" promises. Overall, I loved my wedding day and my stylists were lovely and sweet and they did a good job on everyone's hair and makeup. I don't have any complaints about the execution of the services, but the planning leading up to it left a lot to be desired. I would only recommend them to someone with an extremely detail-oriented wedding planner that can catch their mistakes.

hat I had a bad trial with my hair lady who wasn't very kind to me and gave me a lot of attitude, the owner of the company would take forever to respond, and then after my wedding ended and I paid $3,000+ the owner tried charging me $30 to put hair extensions in a bridesmaid's hair. The hair stylist and company was never up front about costs. You would think after all the money that was spent, that one bridesmaid getting a few clip in extensions put in for $30 could just be covered. The customer service could be improved here. Also, it wasn't clear that ATTB has different stylists for both hair and makeup, and you don't know who you're going to get. I wish I knew that in advance.

process seamless, and connected me with an extremely talented local makeup artist in Dali. I knew that by hiring via them, they would take care of the payments, communication, and scheduling to allow the artist to focus on her craft. They curate a very talented group of artists in the San Diego area, and when I told them the look I wanted and that the artist needed to be able to make not only me, but my bridesmaids and mothers-of-the-bride/groom look great, they had the perfect recommendation. It was very easy to schedule my trial and make changes to my makeup services – i.e. we added a service and changed the getting ready location and all adjustments were made easily with the help of our coordinator. Dali has a very calming energy, made me feel comfortable from the moment my bridal trial began. She worked incredibly hard to get my, my 5 bridesmaids’, and the mother of the bride and groom’s makeup done on our big day, not stopping from morning until it was time for us to leave for the wedding. Everyone looked and felt gorgeous, and our makeup held up beautifully long into the night of dancing. I absolutely recommend Dali to anyone – she’s incredibly talented and has a calm energy perfect for getting ready on your big day. And especially if you’re unfamiliar with HMU artists in San Diego and if you want a particular look, AT2B will match you with the perfect person and handle the rest.

tion photos. I ended up with Carina and Kristin who were a pleasure to work with. Not only was I really happy with how I looked but all of my bridesmaids said it was the chillest, most laid back getting ready experience they have had so I will take it!

rough 6 hours of dancing, I might add). Do not look any further, a Toast to Beauty is hands down the right choice for getting you feeling confident and beautiful on your wedding day! Truly wonderful!

y were so fun and festive to talk to during my trial and on the wedding day. Working through a Toast to Beauty with Savanna was such a smooth process as well. She answered all my questions ahead of time and everything felt very organized and taken care of.

nd makeup services for galas/events I’ve attended in the past, and I’ve never gotten exactly what I wanted before. So, finding the right artists for my wedding day was super important for me. I don’t like super dark eye makeup on myself because I have fair skin, blonde hair and light blue eyes. Before inquiring with AT2B, I looked through their extensive portfolio and their instagram and saw other brides with similar skin tone, hair color and eye color with exactly what I was looking for. Savanna got back to me promptly and she was extremely responsive answering all my questions before I booked with AT2B. She made booking super easy and after I booked with AT2B, I uploaded inspo photos to my portal so that Savanna could match me with hair and makeup artists. She matched me with Kyla for makeup and Amelia for hair. As we got closer to wedding day, Savanna set up my bridal hair and makeup trial. I made a huge mistake and completely forgot that we scheduled the trial to take place at Amelia’s studio. I didn’t realize that until the night before my trial, and I (frantically) texted Savanna who was super understanding. I felt so bad but Savanna was so patient and kind about it. We rescheduled my trial to take place at my house so that my mom be there. My bridal trial went 10000x better than I ever imagined. Kyla and Amelia arrived right on time in the morning and they were so warm and friendly. I was BLOWN away by how perfect my HMU looked. My hair and makeup also held up perfectly the rest of the day. Kyla and Amelia made sure that I didn’t have any changes to my HMU. Savanna also reached out to me to ask how everything went and if there were any changes I wanted to make. I was so impressed and excited about my trial that I reached out to Savanna to ask if Kyla and Amelia were available to do hair and makeup for me and my mom before my rehearsal dinner. My wedding was about 2 months away, but thankfully they both were available and Savanna made it super easy for me to add on these services to my package! A few weeks before my wedding day, Savanna confirmed all of the details with me and arranged a day-of hair and makeup schedule for me and my bridal party. Kyla and Amelia arrived at my house right on time to do hair and makeup for me and my mom before my rehearsal dinner. Kyla and Amelia did an AMAZING job. On wedding day, Kyla and Amelia arrived at the venue on time and they did an amazing job getting hair and makeup done for everyone. We all had so much fun - it was like we had all been friends for years! My mom, MOHs and myself all looked and felt so STUNNING. We all have very different skin tones, hair color, eye color and hair/makeup preferences, but Kyla and Amelia did such an excellent job! We got so many compliments throughout the day on how beautiful we all looked and how stunning our hair and makeup were. My hair and makeup also held up SO well.. even through dancing for hours and whipping my thick hair (which is very long and heavy) all around!! I felt absolutely amazing on my wedding day thanks to this team, which is all I could ever ask for! My hair and makeup was done exactly how I had envisioned, which just shows how great these artists are and how much they listened to me. I had the BEST experience possible and I highly recommend AT2B!

sired looks and she was able to quickly execute! The makeup stayed all night - even after hours of crying, drinking, and dancing :)

ake up lasted all night. Carina also works FAST, but gets the job done. I highly recommend Carina!!!

ve ever had but the customer service I received from the owner Savannah was quite disappointing. Apparently there was an extra make up the day of my wedding and she texted me 5 minutes before I was going to walk down the aisle telling me to pay for the extra make up. I understand completely these Stylist need to get paid (as they should) but could she not have texted me the next morning OR texted my wedding planner? This completely stressed me out as if I wasn't already stressed/nervous about the day. On top of this she had me pay for the extra make up when I had 1 bridesmaid out due to COVID and another bridesmaid had to go to DryBar because there was one hairstylist who was incompetent- to the point my aunt and sister had to have their hair redone. So there were 3 services unused that I didn't get money back for- no biggie I know that's in the contract, but why hound me for the one service the DAY of my wedding when 3 were unused? My stylists were great but as someone who is also in customer service I don't think it's worth having an owner who is texting brides on their wedding day.

payment feature was great. The hair and makeup artists were so talented, friendly, prompt and professional. They took my Pinterest dreams and made it reality! They were able to do hair and makeup for me and my entire bridal party and our mothers. They made the morning of our wedding relaxing and fun, so glad we went with T2B!

ate concern. As my wedding planner was confirming with all vendors that they are either vaccinated or able to take a Covid test before the wedding, Savannah was the only one who refused both. I had my stylists' numbers from the hair & make-up trial, but Savannah also asked that we do not reach out to them directly. She was extremely inflexible and her mindset is, honestly, terrible for business. After my planner went back and forth with her, I too, tried calling to plead with her. She basically told me they had a "don't ask don't tell" with their stylists. The hair and makeup team is in very close contact with the bride and her party, how could I risk one of the artists getting us sick? We had a 150 person wedding. What really angered me was as I was explaining all of this, I included that both our mothers were seniors and one of the bridesmaids was high risk. Her response was, "you're more than welcome to have someone else take their spot since you've already paid." Yes, that solves everything - just tell my mom, mother-in-law and bridesmaid to figure out another plan! Additionally, I found it frustarting that I asked her more than once to email me information so I had it in writing, and every time, she sent me back one of those stupid voice memos through text. Very unprofessional. All that to say, the ones who really lose are her stylists. I had Denise do my makeup for my trial and loved her work. This review has nothing to do with the quality of their work -- it's great -- but unfortunatley, in this day and age, how can safety not be a concern?

e our date without any issues. She was great with communication, confirming timelines (which was helpful for my bridesmaids), and being super positive throughout the day. I would highly recommend her and her team to anyone looking for a quality hair and makeup experience.

of their inspiration and the hair and makeup artists did it even better then the photos! I had the pleasure of Savannah doing both my hair and makeup and she did a fabulous job enhancing my natural beauty. I wanted to still look like myself on my wedding day without a ton of makeup, and Savannah was able to pull it off without a problem! I highly recommend ATB to anyone interested in hair and makeup for their wedding, or just any special occasion! You will not be disappointed :)

icate was easy. My artist arrived on time, never did I feel rushed, my opinion mattered, and Amber did a wonderful job.

at products that aren't too heavy or "cakey" and feel light on the skin, and the makeup literally lasted until the next morning. I've never had my makeup done better. We all felt and looked perfect, exactly how it should be on your wedding day! Every single girl was happy with their hair and makeup (that says a lot), and everyone looked absolutely gorgeous and exactly how they envisioned. And again, the makeup stayed beautifully ALL DAY/NIGHT LONG. We all received so many complements, but really it was AT2B who should be getting all the credit! Savanna and the team were also super easy to work with, very professional, and just the sweetest. You can tell they truly care about you and making your day effortless and beautiful. I would recommend AT2B a million times over.

he glowing reviews. My perception has changed for the negative. Not only were they unwilling to reimburse the deposits in full that we already paid (and did not receive any services from the company outside of confirming to wedding date availability), they were also enforcing a 20% cancellation fee of the remaining deposit. I understand that this situation is hard for everyone but considering we didn't want to postpone our wedding and extenuating circumstances are preventing us from following through, we were hoping that all of our vendors would be understanding about releasing contractual bounds. A Toast to Beauty was the only vendor that has been unwilling to reimburse fully. Only after we submitted a rebuttal were they proposing to use their services for a future event. It's been a very poor customer experience and I will not be working with them for any future events.

mpossible to have my make up show in photos and not look “cake face” in person, but I was proved wrong. Savanna gave me the exact look I was going for without looking like I was wearing 10 pounds of make up. I also showed her 1-2 pictures of what I wanted for my hair and she nailed it, very quickly too. I can’t recommend her and her team enough to all future brides. 10/10. Also, she is the most calm gal ever, exactly what you want on your big day. THANK YOU SAVANNA ♥️

le to hire a team that could do hair and make-up for me, my bridesmaids, MOB and MOG and flower girl. At the time, I was living out of state and couldn't do my hair or make up trial until a month before the wedding but seeing all of Savanna's beautiful work had me totally confident that her team would deliver. Scheduling with her from afar was a breeze, and my hair and make-up trial was one of my favorite days of wedding planning! Hanging with Savanna during the trial felt like I was just catching up with a long time friend. She is an absolute sweetheart and truly cares about all of her brides. I had no idea what I wanted to do for hair and make-up - but she is a total pro and let me try two different hair styles and decide which I liked best. I would have never thought to do an up-do but I adored what she came up with and couldn't be happier with the result. My hair stayed the entire wedding day and didn't even budge (I've been to weddings where bridesmaids and the brides up-do have fallen mid-wedding) - not me. We even took sunset photos at the beach and my hair didnt move a bit. My make-up looked just as good as it did in the morning as it did once I got home after dancing all night. I don't know how she does it but it was INCREDIBLE. I've truly never felt so beautiful and love looking back at my wedding photos and having zero regrets about my hair or make-up choices (I definitely cannot say this about hair and make-up I've had done for other weddings I've attended ha). I'm so glad that I found Savanna and recommend her and her team X 1000!

, everything started off well but problems began at my trial for hair and makeup. I paid $200+ for both trials and I wasn't happy with the results from the make-up trial and I felt I wasn't really being given the best customer service, I was just another bride to get through. I provided lots of examples beforehand as well. For make-up, I was super washed out and overall it wasn't a good look. I got second opinions from friends and colleagues and they also agreed it wasn't good. On top of that, the hair lady was late and then wasn't able to 100% complete my hair before leaving for another appointment (I paid for two styles and she only had time for one style). With all this, I reached out to Savanna and let her know my concerns. I let her know I wanted anther trial and if she could meet me halfway on the costs given everything and how much I'd paid. She basically told me that she has strict policies and threw verbiage from the contract back at me (which clearly stated I should get two hairstyles and yet she offered no refund). I was trying to be super reasonable and felt she just didn't care about me when she had lots of other customers and basically told me I should find another vendor. At the end, I paid $220 for previews that I wasn't happy with and were not completed as per the contract. It was a sad reality of some of the difficulties of wedding planning. I ended up finding another vendor and paying all new trials and services. My advice is just to be careful when you sign up for a vendor and I would recommend only paying any full services after the service is complete. I am sure lots of other brides have had good results with TOB but unfortunately, I was very disappointed with their customer service. I was a small client compared to perhaps some of their other clients, so maybe I was just not that important to them. Good luck to you guys in your wedding planning! xx

to match don't even think about it just book them! You will be in great hands!

for my wedding. No other stylist did this, which made me know that Savanna was different. She was very personable, responsive to questions, and professional. I knew I had chosen a great stylist after my trail, and knew that she would make sure I looked my best on my wedding. Savanna and the other two stylists she brought made me, the bridal party, and bride and groom's moms look fantastic. Savanna is extremely talented, and I highly recommend her for hair and makeup!

of my bridesmaids loved their hair, too. I would highly recommend hiring Savanna for your big day!

d I was so nervous I would not look like "myself." After my consultation with Savanna I knew I made the right choice, makeup and hair looked great, we were able to talk about what small tweaks would make me feel most comfortable and the day of the wedding I felt more beautiful than ever! She and her team mate were so fun, felt like one of the girls and we laughed and had a great time. Everyone was thrilled with their results and they all looked gorgeous. I would absolutely recommend A Toast to Beauty you will be happy you chose Savanna! :)

e chatted with all us girls and it felt so easy and carefree. Her teammate who helped do my bridesmaids hair was fabulous as well!! I’m very blessed that she was able to take our wedding, as she just recently moved up north and had to fly down for any SD weddings she might have had. I know the traveling and preparations for her weddings in San Diego aren’t easy and take some time, but I appreciated it so much! I felt incredible!! All of my ladies felt amazing as well, and my makeup looked flawless all through the wedding! I never had to touch up, re-apply or fix anything. Highly recommend Savannah, you will not regret it!

e around (which is super important for as much time as you spend together with hair trials and day of hair). I couldn't imagine my day without her or her assistant getting my girls ready for the big day!

tter in my entire life! Thank you Savanna for everything!!

was a huge part of that. Savanna is incredible and hires the most amazing team to help bring each individuals vision to life. I got so many compliments on my makeup and hair and all the girls could not stop talking about how amazing their hair and makeup looked.

l preview and wedding day!! I was also very impressed as to how they did my bridesmaids hair and makeup too, they loved it!! The only thing that I would suggest is reading the contract carefully because there is a set date as to when you need to make your final decisions by. Overall I would recommend her to anyone I know!!

in great hands. They are both the absolute sweetest girls and so, so talented. I wouldn't have wanted anyone else sharing my wedding day with me and my bridesmaids; they were just one of the girls having fun with us! Alexis is such a pro at doing the subtle "no-makeup" look I wanted while still making us look so glamorous. OUR SKIN LOOKED FLAWLESS. Bethany gave me the perfect beach waves that lasted all day and night...but still looked and felt so soft and moved beautifully. I can't say enough good things about these two, I wish they were my personal glam squad EVERY DAY. Miss you two already!

me at ease with her positive, professional, relaxed, chill vibe, so I knew that I would feel very calm on my wedding day. On the day of the wedding, her energy was incredible – something which is so important on a day like that, and my bridesmaids adored her too. I felt so fantastic about my hair and makeup that I was able to just relax and enjoy the day and not think about it! I knew I was in good hands and didn’t have to worry. Thank you, Savanna! I HIGHLY recommend her!

ing for a hair trial. Savanna did my trial the day before my wedding for my rehearsal and it turned out WONDERFUL. And then on the wedding day, I swear it somehow turned out even better. She did my hair, my mother and mother-in-law and 5 bridesmaid's hair before our wedding. Each and every style looked phenomenal. Her communication prior to the wedding made me feel at ease as well. Savanna, THANK YOU!

range of sweet-but-determined wedding party members, all of whom had decided opinions about what they hoped could be achieved. Every single one of them raved about the final result. And there was something so positive and reassuring about their manner, too, as folks were rushing around in the background. Their focus was 125% on their clients, and everyone was done on time and glowing. Thank you!!!! I recommend them wholeheartedly.

d Kayti did a great job doing exactly what I described to them for hair and makeup. They exceeded my expectations again on my wedding day and all of my bridal party loved them as well! I would recommend them to anyone!

tiful. I could not have been happier with my wedding hair and make-up! Thank you so much Savanna!

I couldn't have been happier! Thank you for your time, expertise, and love for what you do!

h, very professional and quick to respond to email. She set me up with Alexis for makeup and Bethany for hair, both of which made me feel like a beauty queen! After my trial run with both, I had full confidence, and was so excited to have them there with me on wedding day. They were prompt, stayed on schedule, and just so fun to have around! I've never felt more beautiful, and so grateful to have found the perfect glam squad!

tting in touch with her. They actually reached out to me about scheduling my makeup trial! They also provide you with a detailed getting ready timeline which was amazing and so helpful! On the wedding day, they each showed up right on time and stayed exactly on schedule. Savanna assigned us enough stylists to get us all done in a timely manner and they were so fun to hang out with! Carina had everyone laughing. Marianne was able to give each of my bridesmaids the makeup look they wanted and Tara did the most BEAUTIFUL hair styles for my bohemian garden wedding. I cannot say enough good things. If you're looking for a fun glam squad who will also make you look amazing, look no further!

. Savanna is an absolute sweetheart and made the whole process from booking until the wedding day so simple. My trial was so relaxed and fun because Savanna is so sweet and easy to talk to. Cecily and Alexis joined Savanna to do hair/makeup for my bridal party and our moms and everyone was blown away by how beautiful they looked. When you book someone for hair and makeup, you have to remember that you spend your wedding DAY with those people... I would not trade the ease and fun we had with these girls for the world! It was such a relaxed and awesome day. To top everything off Savanna absolutely made me feel like the most gorgeous girl in the world. I was speechless when I saw my hair and makeup... actually that's a lie... I think I kept repeating "I love it!!" I literally cannot thank them enough for how perfect my day was! If you are not sure who to go with, check out the "A Toast to Beauty" Instagram, the pictures say it all! These ladies are amazing at what they do and just amazing in general!

never have I loved it half as much. These ladies really showed off everyones features rather than layering on the foundation, which I LOVED. They were fun, professional and savanna is amazing with communication through the process. Thank you ladies, we absolutely loved having you part of our day!

ng day glam! Denisse was assigned to do my makeup and she took the job seriously and made me look and feel like a beautiful bride. Kayti did my hair and she was also talented. Highly recommend using ATTB.

ic! My bridesmaids, mom and I all loved our looks and everyone looked great through the end of the night. Savanna and Bethany are both so sweet and easy to be around – I had fun at both the trial and the day of! If I ever need my hair/makeup done again I’m definitely giving AT2B a call! Thank you ladies for making us all look and feel beautiful!
