"There is so much that goes into a wedding with lots and lots of vendors that need to be selected. A Hindu-American wedding is a HUGE production, with multiple outfit and look changes usually over a couple of days. Not being a huge fan of mak...
eup, I was a little worried about finding a team that would be able to help me with such a massive part of our wedding. I started following About Face Design Team on social media and knew they were the ones for me! AFDT put all my worries to rest and did an unbelievable job on the hair and makeup for me, my bridesmaids and my family the day of our wedding.
Let me start by saying Hindu weddings usually start in the morning and end at night. That meant that ten women were getting ready for a wedding that started at 11:00 am and ended at 11:00 pm. The hair and makeup needed to stand up to a marathon of a day. The team of four showed up at 5:00 am (wide awake, no less!) and got to work. Haley worked with me, completing a daytime look and hair style that worked great with the Indian wedding lehenga (skirt and blouse) and dupatta (veil) that I wore for my wedding ceremony. She was able to create this even despite my stumbling and mumbling description of what I wanted. She then came back in the afternoon and helped me change looks, with both a different makeup palette and hairstyle to match my wedding gown for the reception. Both looks actually took my now-husband’s breath away. All of the pictures so far show a flawless look that is dramatic without looking surreal. All of my bridesmaids (with all different hair and skin) looked beautiful, getting the styles that they wanted as well. Everything lasted until the end of the reception and then some! We actually continued the party until 1:00 am, and my pictures from the end of the night look almost as good as from the start of the day. I cannot recommend AFDT enough to anyone wanting hair or makeup services for any event!"

I highly recommended About Face! Their scheduling, communication, punctuality, makeup, and hair was absolutely perfect for my wedding day and my engagement photoshoot. Myself and my bridesmaids had such a great time getting out hair and makeup ...
done by their team and Nina was quick to communicate when any updates were needed. Their contracts are clear and offer clear expectations and helpful tips on the wedding day which was appreciated. I think it would be beneficial if the bride went second to last on the wedding day to allow some breathing room to prepare for photography. I will use About Face again and will recommend them to all my friends and family!! Thanks so much girls!!

The best getting ready team ever! I will start with Nina who made the entire planning process easy. Nina is so responsive to email and does not hesitate to pick up the phone to answer all those unforeseen questions that us brides have. Nina tak...
es care of helping you through the logistics, scheduling, and gives you upfront rates. Nina will even help with transparency and gives you a day of schedule timeline for the entire bridal party per make up person, making things crystal clear for everyone. Next, the ABDT artist are not only skilled in their trade but are legit therapist, I was so nervous on how things would go specially with so much female energy on the day of. Going into the make-up trial I was treated like royalty, Rachel and Brittney assessed my needs, looked at my picture inspo, gave me recommendations for my hair and the hair style I was going for and tested a few lip colors until we came up with the final look. I think their talent is evident in all their pictures, what stood out to me is how the ABDT team made me feel. The artists gave me this warm feeling of comfort, they have a way of easing out nerves, anxiety and worries of wedding planning. I knew after the trial that the team was going to be perfect for my bridal party and my mom and MIL. On the day of, everyone felt pampered and taken care of and all my ladies looked flawless. I am forever grateful for the AFDT (Rachel, Gina, & Brittany) for helping me calm down and look my best on my special day. 10000% Recommend!

Fast forward to March 2022 for my wedding. The customer service, care and dedication to making their clients happy is astounding. Nina and Haley went above and beyond to ensure that we were all happy and comfortable will our hair and makeup for wedding day.

ill. Haley, who was my daughters(the bride) and my stylist worked through the trials and tribulations with my tricky hair and my daughters styling. We were really up in the air with what we wanted and after 2 trials and Haley being very patient , we arrived at the day of look. Nina also followed up with us on a routine basis to make sure we were happy going into the big day. The other 2 artists we had on the day of for the girls and MOG were equally talented and caring and patient. (Natasha and Rachel) We really did our research before going with AFDT. Save yourself time. They are simply the best in the industry. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!

everal times I called Nina and she answered or would call within an hour or so which was super awesome because there’s a 4 hour time difference between where I live and Florida.

They are fairly priced, friendly and all around an awesome experience!

I cannot recommend AFDT enough. Casey did my hair and makeup and not only did she do an incredible job, she was calming and professional. During my trial run my skin reacted to a product she used and she calmly asked how I was because she notic...
ed immediately. I said I was okay and she let me know my skin was turning red in a very relaxed way which helped me not worry. It immediately went away and she made a note that the product caused a reaction and informed Nina, who manages the stylists. The day of my wedding Casey let me know she stopped using that product and I had no problems. I had so many compliments on my eye make up and hair. All of my 9 bridesmaids looked incredible with mismatched hair styles and my mother and mother-in-law were very happy with their hair and make up. Nina was also extremely professional and quick to respond. She scheduled a time block for each service which kept things running smoothly. Without a doubt you should book with AFDT!

hen I first reached out to AFDT it was on the recommendation of a friend who has known one of the artists, Gina, for years. She wasn't available for my day but Nina quickly connected me with Haley, allowing me to do a trial before booking. Haley was THE BEST! I'm not someone who goes full glam often and she helped me find the happy medium between glam and still feeling 100% like me. The two other stylist were amazing as well. Every bridesmaid as well as my mother got our hair and makeup done and everyone looked great and was pleased with their look (which is amazing because some are known to be quite particular). We had some fun conversations too which was just great to feel calm and comfortable before walking down the aisle.
Thank you to everyone at AFDT!!!

I seriously cannot say enough positive things about About Face Design Team! I had 9 bridesmaids, myself, and the moms that all wanted full glam services done (WOW that's a lot), and nobody every hesitated at saying yes! Did I also mention that ...
we had a bright and early call time of 6:30am?
When the artists showed up, everyone was so genuinely happy to be there and excited for me. It was the best feeling! Haley was my personal artist, and was nothing short of amazing. We bonded a lot, and she helped keep me relaxed in the morning. I couldn't be more obsessed with my glam look! My sweet groom even told me my eyes looked gorgeous on wedding day (talking about the makeup haha). I want to note too that I have bad rosacea on my cheeks, & they get very red when I'm nervous or hot. Haley worked her magic and you would have never known I have some very rosy cheeks!
All of my girls absolutely loved their looks, and were raving about the artists! Even the moms loved their looks, and those are two very hard women to please! I can't explain how beautiful everyone looked. We also finished early, which helped this very time sensitive/stressed bride relax.
Nina is so fabulous. I asked a million and 10 questions, and she was always quick to respond and so so sweet. She constantly hyped me up and made me that much more excited for the big day. She also helped me make a schedule for the girls which I really appreciated!
I highly highly HIGHLY recommend AFDT to everyone. You won't regret it!

I got married last month, and About Face did my hair and makeup, along with my mother's, MIL's, and SIL's hair and makeup. I'm so happy I went with them. They are so professional, friendly, and, most important, talented! They did a fabulous job...
on all of us. I asked for a natural makeup look, and I wasn't disappointed. Plus, my hair held all night, even though it was in a low bun with three long hair extensions! A big thank you to Nina for her help and answering all the questions I had prior and during booking with AF. Also, a big thank you to Gina and Natasha for the amazing job they did with me and my mom's hair and makeup.

I have nothing but the best things in the world to say about About Face Design Team!!!! My wedding was postponed due to COVID-19 and I was initially pretty sad that the day we had planned wasn't going to happen. We decided on a very small weddi...
ng with just our parents/siblings at my house before the official mandates were put into place, because we really wanted to get married despite the wedding being moved. Casey came to the rescue and did an INCREDIBLE job with my hair and makeup for the small and intimate ceremony. She truly made the day feel so special and we talked and laughed and listened to music together as she did her incredible work on me. I will never forget that morning and how calm and special it was, thanks to Casey! She was so detail oriented and made sure I was happy with how everything was looking every step of the way. After a few minutes with her I was honestly like, "I trust you do whatever you think is best!" because she was THAT good! She made me feel so beautiful and my hair and makeup were even better than I could have dreamed it up myself. I am forever thankful for About Face Design Team and my artist, Casey, for making our day so wonderful. I honestly don't have enough good things to say about this company so just take my word for it...they are the BEST there is!

WOW! About Face Design Team did such an amazing job on all of us girls for my wedding day! Dorka was so fun to talk with during my trial and on the day of and she did such an amazing job! I rarely wear any make up and she created a natural look...
that was everything I wanted. She was also able to cover up my arms which have impurities on them to the point I'm subconscious about it. I had no worries after she was done and it didn't come off onto my dress either! I also had great conversations with Casey while she was doing my hair! All 4 team members that came to do hair and makeup were such a blast and really made the morning great! Everyone commented on how much they loved the fake eyelashes that Dorka supplied because they looked so natural! I would highly recommend About Face for anyone's wedding/event beauty needs!

Well my first thing is THANK YOU. Thank you to About Face for such a flawless day with Priscila and Natasha. Both ladies did a phenomenal job with everything, and we couldn't be happier with what we received, service-wise. I had myself, my mom,...
my niece, and 6 bridesmaids that all needed hair done. My mom, myself and one bridesmaid also had makeup done. All of it was done in a timely manner, and everyone looked absolutely amazing.

Thank you so much for taking the time to review our services Ally!
I went with this team on a recommendation from my photographer and I'm so glad I did. I had previously done a trial with another hair/makeup artist, so I chose not to do one with About Face. However, I wasn't worried because I had a phone call...
with them to go over what I wanted beforehand. I had complete faith. On the day of they showed up on time and were so kind, organized, and professional. Hayley was able to take my hair inspiration and trial photos and somehow make my hair even more beautiful that I hoped. She also worked MAGIC on my Mom, who has very fine hair. She was able to give her glorious glamour-style waves that lasted all day. Rachel did both of our makeup and also did a phenomenal job. Before I walked down the aisle I had cried- and I don't me teared up, like full on cried- at least 3 times. My makeup looked flawless. My photographer even commented on how impressed she was that it had stayed so well. Even by the end of dinner and dancing it looked flawless. I would hands down recommend this team. They far exceeded my expectations and made me feel like a princess.

ale Wedding and showed my girls the portfolios’ of About Face and two other vendors recommended by Disney and they all chose About Face hands down. We could not have been happier. Gina, Kari, Nina and the whole team were an absolute dream team. They listened to each girl and the range of glam to natural services they were able to do was incredible. Setting up and paying for our makeup and services was so easy and Nina was always extremely timely and clear with communication . I also had an early morning photo shoot with Disney and Gina helped me get into my dress and fix a broken clasp. It was like having another family member with me to help me get ready that morning. I am so thankful for the women at About Face and cannot recommend them enough!! If you are having a DFTW I would also highly recommend them because they are very comfortable with Disney properties and timelines! They are just the best!

My wedding planning was com...
plicated by distance (I was planning my Orlando wedding while stationed in Japan), but the team at About Face worked with me to schedule a trial while I was in town (even though it was months and months before the wedding). Then, Haley took it in stride when I asked her to create a completely different look on my wedding day. She made me feel so comfortable and beautiful throughout the entire process and even gave me some beauty/skin care tips to "take home". My mom also had her make up done by Haley and looked absolutely stunning. We are so grateful for the beauty that Haley and About Face brought to our wedding day. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

They were also able to work with both my mother, and mother in law (bless them), to create a beautiful look on more mature skin.

There is not enough time in the day to properly praise the About Face Design Team for the phenomenal service they provided for my wedding day. First, Nina was fantastic as we finalized our contract and got the schedule set. She was prompt wit...
h responses and answered every question I had. I never wear make-up and had never had anything professionally done to my hair besides a cut so I was nervous, but Nina simplified everything for me and made it a breeze. On the day of my wedding, the hair stylist, Casey, and the make-up artist, Dorka, showed up promptly at 4:15AM as scheduled. They were both wide eyed and pleasant, in stark contrast to my bridal party that I had just pulled out from under the warm blankets after a late night at Magic Kingdom. As if dealing with half asleep bridesmaids did not make their job difficult enough, I had no idea what I wanted them to do! I have zero vision and all four of my girls are so different that I never could pin down what I thought would work for everyone. I provided a REALLY VAGUE verbal description of what I was hoping for and the next thing I knew Casey and Dorka had brought my vision to life! My three bridesmaids and my junior Maid-of-Honor all looked stunning!! Then came my hair and make-up. Again, I had nothing to show them as far as an idea and no real knowledge of their crafts to talk through a plan with them. I totally put my trust in them, closed my eyes and did not look in the mirror until they were finished. Both my hair and make-up were PERFECT! Bonus- to my photography duos absolute delight, Casey and Dorka had me and all of my girls done early so we were not as pressed for our photo timeline. Both our hair and make-up stood up against all of the wind and the tears that the day brought. I cannot thank this amazing team enough for their impeccable service! You will not be disappointed by AFDT!!!

I would love to work with their team again! Thank you Nina, Casey and Dorka!

They were all beaming (and we all received so many compliments on hair and makeup!). Kari did my hair and make-up and I can't thank her enough for doing a PERFECT job. I so appreciated her attention to detail and wanting everything to be just right. The AFD team's hard work helped make my wedding day the best day EVER!

Five stars are not enough! The team arrived at my daughter's wedding venue ahead of schedule and set up so that they were ready to begin as soon as the bridal party arrived. We had a large (ethnically diverse...important to note because the te...
am was able to work perfectly with each skin tone and hair texture) party and had to work with the time constraints of the venue, so Nina graciously arranged to send another artist to be sure we were all finished on schedule. The team was professional, courteous, and attentive. They made each bridesmaid, the maid of honor, and most importantly the bride look and feel like their most gorgeous self, and I could not ask for more. If you are looking for a dependable, gifted, talented and high class hair/make-up team for your event, please choose AFDT...you will not be sorry you did!
I was absolutely overwhelemed at how beautiful my bridesmaids, my mother, and I all turned out on the day of my wedding. My bridemaids rage in race from Indian to black to Hispanic to white, and all of them turned out absoultely perfect. Their ...
makeup matched their skin perfectly, and their hair was breath taking! The staff was so friendly and made me feel very special on my big day. Promise is incredible at hair. She made everyones hair look better than the picture they showed her. Every artist is equally incredible. I would recommened this company to anyone, and will definitely use again in the future.

Thank you so much Amanda! Your vision was amazing and we are so honored that we were able to be a part of your big day!
About Face did a wonderful job for my wedding! After changing my mind on hairstyles after my first trial, Nina (their magnificent coordinator) was so flexible in scheduling a second trial for me. My stylist, Kari Larsen, took her time getting t...
o know my style and preferences, so by the time my wedding day came, I was so confident and comfortable knowing I was in good hands. The other 3 stylists did an amazing job on my bridesmaids, mom, and mother-in-law, and Nina did a great job making sure we had the right number of stylists for the size of our group (10). The whole team was also so efficient and timely - we actually wound up ahead of schedule! I highly recommend them!

I loved working with AFDT for my wedding! I had previously used them for some events years ago in college, so I knew they were perfect for my bridal party on my biggest day. They were extremely responsive to my requests leading up to the weddin...
g and were punctual on the wedding day. I had an extremely large bridal party and they took care of everyone in the time frame I gave them. I instructed them to make all of my bridesmaids extremely GLAM - and they delivered! I was so happy with their make-up. I would definitely use AFDT again!

Thank you so much for your review E!
Your bridal party was a blast to work with and you all looked gorgeous! We can't wait to get the images back from your photographer!

A great choice for our wedding day! I had a wonderful experience during both the trial and wedding day. About Face is very easy to work with and responsive to messages. The stylists are very knowledgable and know how to execute what you want! E...

Hello Kristen,
You were such a joy to work with! We can't thank you enough for putting your trust in us! We hope to work with you again for all your future hair & makeup needs!

The About Face Design Team is simply the best. From the start, working with Nina - she is awesome and always answered any questions I had right away and worked with my busy schedule for booking my trials. I worked with the team 2 times before m...
y wedding day - hair & makeup trial for my engagement photos and then again a wedding hair trial. Both times were great. I left looking amazing and got so many compliments. Dorka is your girl for makeup. She seriously could be working for a celeb! My bridesmaids and I looked flawless. My makeup looked the same at the end of the night (2am) as it did 5 seconds after she did it. No joke people told me that. I just said "Dorka!!" Kari did my hair and she is a rockstar. I asked for a classic chignon look and its a really difficult style but she created a beautiful look and it lasted all night. I took her advice during my trial - she recommended I get some highlights to help the style hold and it was worth it, the highlights added dimension to my hair and really helped with the overall look. I'm glad I listened to her. Each one of my bm's are already married and have been through the hair/makeup process for their weddings and each of them said this was the best they have ever had. Thank you so much to the AFDT for helping us look like true beauties. It was such a great experience working with your team - from the booking process to the wedding day, it was seamless.
My planners recommended About Face Design Team to me and I’m so glad they did! Since I live in Colorado, they were very accommodating to let me schedule my hair and makeup trial the one weekend I was back in town. Just based off one or two pict...
ures I liked, they were able to style my hair exactly how I envisioned it. On the day of the wedding, the two stylists showed up to our room at the Four Seasons Resort Orlando right on time with all their equipment set up within minutes. My mom, sister, and bridesmaids’ hair looked absolutely beautiful. Everyone’s hair stayed in place the whole day into the night even with the humidity outside. My hair and makeup looked so perfect especially looking at the photos over and over again. I would recommend getting makeup done because they really make your face glow with the airbrush. It didn’t feel sticky at all and it really makes the difference in photos. The team at About Face did an amazing job and it’s because of their years of experience. I’m so glad I booked them, I felt so beautiful on my big day and that’s exactly how every bride should feel.
I have been sitting in the scheduling coordinator chair for almost 3 years now & have seen many brides in and out of the AFDT studio. Occasionally I have had my hair and makeup done for small events that AFDT was representing but never at the c...
apacity I was at when I became the bride. I am very self conscious of the way I look, being a bigger girl. I always feel like the ugly duckling when I am amongst my friends, so being the center of attention on my wedding day did not sit well with me. I was undecided for months with what to do with my hair & makeup. On the wedding day, Kari hit it out of the park. I have never felt more beautiful than in those first moments of looking at myself in the AFDT mirrors. All night, I felt like the Belle of the ball- I forgot about my insecurities and just rocked this awesome look I was given. Casey & Rachel ( both stylists & party guests) also did an incredible job with my bridesmaids' hair & makeup! Each one of my girls who had services done talked about how beautiful they looked and how they felt on the inside. They took seflies all night long apparently because that's what their snaps and Instagram's were filled with the next day! I couldn't have imagined a more perfect day in the hands of AFDT. If you are looking for the best, look no further- you found it. Don't believe me, then go look at my photos and then you be the judge.
I loved using About Face Design Team for my wedding. Nina is great at communication and really makes you understand everything needed for your big day. I did decide to do a trial appointment for hair and makeup and my stylist was Monica. She wa...
s great! She worked with me to understand what I wanted on my big day. After reflecting on the trial, I made a few notes to change for the wedding day and Monica totally understood and made me look even more gorgeous. She made sure I was happy with everything prior to leaving. The other stylist there, Kari, Dorka and Sicily were just as amazing. Everything looked and felt beautiful in the wedding party. Throughout my wedding evening, many of my friends commented on how beautiful I looked and how my hair and makeup were flawless. I would definitely recommend About Face Design Team for any wedding or special event! They truly take care of you!
The About Face Design Team were great! Nina was amazing in coordinating all of the details and answered all of my questions in a very professional and timely manner. I opted to do a trial run before the wedding which I highly recommend as you ...
get to meet your stylist. I worked with Kari who was awesome! She provided me with some pointers on what I should do with cleaning, drying and prepping my hair prior to the big day which I followed to a T and was beyond pleased with the final results. I Loved how my hair and make up looked and it was perfect for the whole day! The ladies who came to assist my bridesmaids were also great! They arrived on time and finished on time! They even provided us with a little touch up kit to take with us. I highly recommend you work with About Face Design Team for your big day! I know I will use them again when I need hair and make up!
I can't speak highly enough about AFDT! Nina was an absolute angel to work with. She was very organized and helped talk me off a ledge a few times. ;-) I had a noon wedding so the stylist and make-up artist had to be at our room super early but...
they made everything fun and relaxed even for a super early morning. My bridal party were all thrilled with their results and I felt like an absolute princess for my Disney wedding. I couldn't be happier with my experience and I can't recommend them highly enough!! Perfect job and such a joy to work with!!
They did a great job! Nina was very organized and on top of everything:) and both our stylist did an amazing job with our hair and make up!!! I was very happy with them and def will be using them again in the future! Thank you guys:))
I was absolutely thrilled with the outcome of my hair and makeup by About Face Design Team. Not only is their product truly exceptional, their customer service is wonderful and Nina really gets to know each bride personally. She was very flex...
ible with me when I had a bridesmaid change and had several people add on after I had already signed the contract! The design team assigned to me, led by Monica, was professional and thorough, but fast! I first had a trial with Monica which I HIGHLY recommend because I was able to make changes the day of based on my trial which I couldn't have done otherwise. The day of went very smoothly. They knew how to manage their time to make it so they were finished with time to spare for touch-ups. This is even after my sister- and mother-in-law added on a makeup service because they were so impressed by how all of my bridesmaids looked! They normally shy away from professional makeup but the design team knows how to enhance your own features without making it look like too much. Everyone in my bridal party looked stunning and I could not stop telling everyone how beautiful they looked! My hair and makeup lasted all night and I could not have felt more beautiful. My husband was equally as impressed!! I can promise that you will not be disappointed with this company! Thank you Nina, Monica, and the rest of the team!!!!
About Face is awesome! My makeup was flawless and my hair lasted all night long until the next night. The ladies of About Face are so professional and perfectionists for sure! They were ahead of schedule the entire day so there was no rushing a...
t the end for finishing touches. One of my bridesmaids (who has been in over 10 weddings) said "this is the only time I've ever loved my hair and makeup." My mom wore her hair and makeup for Sunday and Monday and said it remained perfect and fresh. I couldn't have been happier with the results! I will 100% be using Kesia (Hair) and Rachel (makeup) for future events! Much love!
About Face Design Team is top-notch phenomenal. They are organized, professional & reliable. Nina, their schedule coordinator, is incredible. She assigns the proper amount of stylists for the amount of people who need services. My biggest fear ...
was to run out of time and have a stressful morning. My experience with AFDT was the total opposite. We had the best morning, all 15 people received their services and there was even time for touch-ups! The best part is: everybody was incredibly happy with the way their hair and make-up turned out and we had time for photos before the ceremony.
I recommend to do a hair and make-up trial to ensure that you get what you want on your wedding day. Kalie was great; she took pictures and took notes of what I liked/what I didn’t like. Totally worth it because I was beyond happy with the outcome and the pictures/video serve as proof. Thank you AFDT for being an integral part of my big day!
The About Face Design Team made the day-of wedding getting ready process so fun. I loved my wedding look. I wanted something that made me feel beautiful and special, but not overdone, and they totally accomplished that. They also did hair and m...
akeup for our large wedding party (10 bridesmaids, 2 junior bridesmaids, a flower girl, and the mothers of the bride and groom). I wanted to allow all of the wedding party to pick out their own look, and the About Face Design Team worked with each person to make them look and feel beautiful. They brought enough members of the design team, so that we could get everyone done. And, as a plus to making us all look and feel beautiful, the design team was super fun. They brought in music and all of the girls were so sweet. It was a perfect and fun addition to our day.
When all the work and planning is done, the pictures record it all! Amy worked with me to find the perfect look and on my wedding day and I couldn't have wished for more - on the wedding day, Amy and Rachelle, were professional and pleasant, th...
ey added to the fun! When it was all finished, they had me and my bridesmaids looking our most beautiful - on the one day when you hope to look your most beautiful! Thank you Amy and Rachelle, I will thank you every time I look at my pictures!!
These ladies are the real deal! They are the ultimate professionals. They get you looking your best and do it on time! They were never behind schedule which helped my bridal party and myself stay calm on the big day. Everyone looked beautiful a...
nd hair stayed good until the end of the reception (and we were outside in Florida!) The only drawback is that they are expensive, but you get what you pay for, and the quality is undeniable. If you can afford them, use them!
Firstly, let me just state that my sister is a childhood cancer survivor. She is a beautiful soul and didn't want to write a negative review but i just can't let her experience go unnoticed. She has been growing her hair very long and her excit...
ement to get married with a her hair down long and flowing was more than a dream of hers. Unfortunately, About Face was unable to fulfill that moment and left her in tears. She had an all indoor wedding and her hair didn't even last to the ceremony before she walked down the aisle!!! It was nothing short of devastating to witness my poor sister stare at her hair in the mirror before she walked down the aisle to her future husband feeling anything short of beautiful. When she wrote an email to the staff explaining her experience the About face hairstylist responded that they would've liked a trial yet my sister tried that and they only had two dates available for the hairstylist they assigned her to. Wouldn't it have been more appropriate to find her someone with availability that matched my sisters schedule instead of stating this particular hairstylist "works well" with the photographer my sister had and a trial is not even needed??? Also, the hairstylist that failed, to meet the expectations of any bride. responded to my sisters email stating that it appeared her hair fell out during an engagement session. Yet, the front desk person stated that the very same engagement photo exemplified that she, my sister, "obviously" didn't get her hair professionally done. What even TOPS the whole thing is...My sister paid for her bridesmaids makeup to that was completed by About face but had their hair done by a cosmo STUDENT at hairbenders Academy in longwood. The bridesmaids hair was beautiful and lasted all night. Sadly my sister even received a comment from our cousin stating that she should've splurged for a hairstylist on her wedding dat. I feel the situation was more than devastating for my sister and the way they handled her complaint was worse. Makeup was great but i would go elsewhere for hair, without a doubt.
Response from the Vendor on 12/01/2015
Thank you for speaking up on behalf of your sister. It is of great concern when a client is unhappy. Because of this and regardless of why Jessica’s hair did not hold a curl, Kalie, our Bridal Department Coordinator (your sister’s stylist) wrot...
e a detailed letter to Jessica, inviting her into AFDT’s studio for a private session where she could recreate her perfect bridal look in a controlled environment and we would take professional bridal portraits ~ complimentary. She never responded.
Thank you for also conveying how important long, flowing hair was to her dream look. We gave it our best to achieve this, even after meeting Jessica and observing how very long (below waist), heavy, and straight her hair was. Jessica booked her wedding with us pretty close to her ceremony date, leaving us little room to reschedule the trial run which she cancelled. We offered her several options, but Jessica didn’t respond for 5 days. At that point, her wedding was 2 weeks out. It was out of extra caution and courtesy that we scheduled Jessica with our Bridal Department lead. Kalie has been with AFDT for 10 yrs and has consistently achieved award-winning and highly-published work.
Please understand that there are certain things out of our control - in particular, the 3 hours between our scheduled end time and the ceremony time - as well as the condition, cut, preparation, and normal behavior of a client’s hair. We always warn our Florida brides to minimize the amount of time they spend outdoors in the heat and humidity after they are styled, as their curls will fall. This should not come as a surprise to any woman who lives in this state. We always suggest compensating for that by curling the hair a bit tighter and provide the following detailed preparation instructions:
"Use a volumizing mousse or root-boost type of product to create extra volume when you blow-dry. Depending on length & thickness of hair you will want to use at least the size of a small egg. Do not use heavy conditioners or anti-frizz serums as this will make the hair very heavy & slippery & difficult to hold curls, pins, or an intricate hair design. Refrain from flat-ironing the hair unless you want a bone straight hairstyle. Sometimes your hair may do better on the second day instead of being freshly washed! If so, just follow the same instructions the day before your appointment."
Our offer stands to treat Jessica to a private session in AFDT’s studio at a mutually agreeable time that can be planned well in advance.
Sincerely,
AFDT
I can't say enough about Kalie and her team! They were wonderful to work with and made us all beautiful for the big day! Nina was great to work with and made sure everything was set up perfectly. The day went smoothly and there were no problems...
at all. I HIGHLY recommend using them!
I am beyond happy with the services I received from About Face and their entire team. From the beginning of our planning they have been amazing to work with. Nina was the one I worked with for scheduling and pricing details. She was prompt, acc...
urate, informative and a joy to work with. I had my makeup done with them for my engagement photos and my wedding day. They listened to what I wanted and spoke with me in detail prior to each event to make sure we were on the same page. Kalie did my hair and makeup for the wedding and Rachael did makeup for my mom and some bridesmaids. They both did such an amazing job. I was blown away with how beautiful my girls looked. I love doing my makeup and had a look in mind. Kalie exceeded every expectation I had. My hair and makeup was more beautiful than I have every seen it. They can help you achieve your desired look. On top of that, I enjoyed having them around in the hours prior to the wedding. They brought such a positive and fun energy to the room. They come very highly recommended in the industry!
Bijou was my makeup artist. She made me look great. Also, took care of my maid of honor and my mother. She worked professionally and quickly. Very happy with the outcome.
Kalie did a great job doing my hair and makeup, as well as my mother's and mother-in-law's. We all looked fabulous and the makeup stayed on all day. And my hair stayed in the up-do even after a crazy dance reception! She was very professional a...
nd I would definitely recommend her.
I do not usually wear makeup, so when it was my wedding day, I had no idea what I wanted.
Kalie was very professional and patient with my girls and I as we lined up to get beautified. I gave her creative control over my face- told her to mak...
e me look beautiful. WOW- she did such and amazing job, I'm sure she was born to do this!
My (now) husband's jaw dropped when he first saw me, which is exactly what I wanted :) My makeup was even perfect the next day!
Thank you, Kalie, for making me so beautiful on my wedding day!
I had Kalie lead my hair and makeup on my wedding day. I had such an amazing experience with her and two others on the design team. The girls were on time in the morning, were very friendly and easy to talk to, and definitely helped calm my n...
erves for the big day! I had a hair trial at home before coming to Florida for my wedding, and they were able to incorporate what I liked and change what I didn't like. My hair and makeup turned out incredibly perfect, and my bridesmaids, mom, and mother-in-law's did as well. They were slightly more expensive compared to some of the other vendors I looked into, but looking back, the extra money was DEFINITELY WORTH IT!!! I even got a touch-up kit to use throughout my wedding day and reception, which was awesome. I would definitely recommend AFDT to anyone looking for hair and makeup in Central Florida - A+++ girls!!!!
From the moment I first met Kalie from the About Face team, I knew me and my maids were going to look fabulous for the wedding! The entire team of ladies showed up on time and were so professional. They immediately got to setting up and startin...
g on everyone's hair and makeup. And everyone looked stunning. Not to mention I was absolutely in LOVE with my hair and makeup. Looking back now at all the pictures... I am blown away at how beautiful Kalie made me look and feel on my wedding day.
Prior to the wedding Connie (who handles setting everything up) was a pleasure. If I had questions, she was there to answer them. If I sent an email, she replied right away. I scheduled my trial run and brought a picture of how I wanted my hair. Kalie did exactly what I showed her... but when I got home I realized I wanted something different. I was freaking myself out and worrying that I needed to schedule another trial run. I emailed Connie and the very next day she emailed back after talking with Kalie and they reassured me I could definitely come in for another trial run, send them some pictures, or not to worry they would make sure I absolutely loved my hair on my wedding day. I put my trust in their team and was blown away. I LOVED my hair & makeup. My entire bridal party and I felt like models!
Thank you AboutFace for making us look and feel so glamorous!
If you are planning a wedding in the Orlando area, you have probably heard of About Face because they are the absolute BEST! My original stylist had a scheduling conflict a month before my wedding, but Jane at About Face was able to schedule m...
y wedding even with such short notice! Kaylee did my hair and makeup, and she was phenomenal! I had a lot of stress-induced breakouts before my wedding, and she covered everything flawlessly! My mom and 3 bridesmaids also had their hair and makeup done, and everyone looked amazing! My mom and I had airbrush application, which I would highly recommend for brides and mothers since you will be hugging people and moving around the most. Everyone's makeup stayed put the entire night. About Face is a little more expensive than some other places, but you absolutely get what you pay for, which is PERFECTION! :-D
About Face Design Team helped me select my hairstyle, did two practice hair sessions, and performed hair and makeup services for my mother, matron of honor, and me. Many wedding guests commented how natural and beautiful the makeup looked. I pl...
an to return to the salon to have them show me what they did so I can replicate it on myself! :-) I was thoroughly pleased with my hair and makeup on the big day. Two members of the team arrived early. Since I hired a traditional photographer to shoot black and white photos, About Face Design team was familiar with the look necessary to achieve beautiful black and white photos. Thank you About Face Design team!
The About Face team did the hair and make up for my entire bridal party for my Disney Wedding in August. They did a fabulous job. They were friendly, helpful and very good at what they do.
Vanessa Did an awesome job with everyones makeup for the wedding very flexible with switching people around when needed! Easy going and very professional! Gina did my engagement session and she was awesome as well I loved my makeup both times...
I have used About face! Thanks again for everything ladies!! :)
I was referred by a friend to use About Face Design Team and they did not disappoint. I did a trial run which I HIGHLY recommend for all future brides. Thanks to the trial, I knew what to expect and what I definitely wanted for my day of look. ...
Tracie, Lauren, and Carmen were fabulous to work with and everyone loved the end result of their hair/makeup. Thank you!
