I was starting to look into hair and make-up companies in March of 2020, and then the world shut down from the covid pandemic... Some companies I had been eyeing seemed to have given up during the shut down, however I saw that Brittany was working her butt off, staying positive, and adapting to what was going on in the world. I had reached out to several companies. To my surprise Brittany, the face/ceo of the company, called me directly to speak to me and answer all my questions, and shared insight on what was going on with other weddings. The other companies I had conversed over email, with who knows who, of the company. It was just so much more personable with Brittany.
Though Beautini was a bit more than what I budgeted, I had confidence in Beautini's team to make me look and feel my best, without the stress. Brittany assured me that they would be as flexible as they could be if we had to make changes or reschedule our wedding. She also assured that her makeup artist would know how to apply makeup on asian features, which was a concern of mine.
Luckily, we did not have to reschedule, and went through with a small wedding on Nov 28, 2020. We had to bump our wedding to be earlier in the day to keep everything outdoors, which meant the beauty team had to arrive at the crack of dawn!
All artists arrived on time, masked, washed their hands, set up their sanitized tools/makeup and got to work, they were all professional and in good spirits; adapting to the tight space in my 1 Hotel suite.
I had Aneta for makeup and Tracina for hair, who I had met during my trial, and they were so lovely to work with and reflected the changes that I asked for on my wedding day. I also had Taren and Selena for hair and make-up for my bridesmaids. Our makeup and hair stayed perfect the entire day, even through the windy fall weather along the water.
There was a little mix-up with how many artists I was expecting when coordinating/scheduling the day of events, but it was all sorted out.
If it comes down to planning our wedding reception (which I had to cancel) I would love to work with Beautini's team again! They were worth the cost. We did it safely, and no one got sick! Thanks Beautini!
