FBJ WEDDINGS

sn’t make you feel overdone or gaudy. From the beginning FBJ/Amanda was extremely communicative. She helped me figure out the services that we needed, what time we would need to get ready and scheduled my trial. My artist was Autumn and she is a gem. She took time to really get to know me as a person and the look that I wanted for my wedding day. I felt like I had known her for a long time. My very curly hair was done in a beautiful bun that stayed until the end of dancing. I have never felt more beautiful than my wedding day. She managed to hide my dark circles and give me makeup that felt natural, but bridal. Autumn also did everyone’s hair and it was gorgeous. I was also blown away by Joy her counterpart. She did all of my bridesmaids and my mom and mother in laws makeup. They all looked beautiful. Autumn and Joy were so efficient that they finished 1.5 hours early. I have never been in a bridal party that finished early. This allowed us time to relax before the day ahead. They were incredible and I highly recommend.

n it was confirmed that the timeline had been changed. Everyone was done in time but still gave me anxiety. Very friendly in general.

hem to change it 4 times. They added a second artist the night before my wedding and stated they would be starting HOURS later and sent over revised timeline, it was all wrong and left out multiple services from the timeline- I didn't realize this until I was on the way to my venue the morning of my wedding. They texted me 3 minutes prior to arriving that the invoice, that they completed and was paid by us, was wrong and they needed to be paid additional $$ and that they would be able to fit in all the services since they're so fast. They waited patiently for my mom to pay them the correct amount; this created a long delay and I was late getting ready. The artist was one of the owners, she rushed through my hair and it did not look the same as the hair trial, it looked like a rats nest and argued about it.... Overall, they were the only ones who caused me stress on my wedding day. They emailed me days later asking for more money since they said it was wrong again, I refused to pay. Joy was the added artist, she was really great throughout and am so thankful that she was there, I wouldn't have had time for any pictures if she hadn't been so willing to jump in and help my original artist, Amanda.

artist (Kayla A.), meaning I didn't need to scramble for a new contract last minute. Kayla was professional and friendly. She achieved everyone's hairstyle requests and was flexible with the one change I wanted from the trial result. I'm glad that the best I've ever looked was at my wedding.

Everyone looked wonderful!! My bridal hair and makeup help up through rain, wind, and lots of dancing! I would highly recommend them to anyone looking.

e, got along with the wedding party well, and make sure everyone was happy with their hair/makeup. Autumn was my stylist and made sure to always check in on me and how everything felt. She knew it was important to still feel like myself and she made it a priority of hers. I would recommend booking with them.

ave everything run smoothly and according to the timeline. Besides that- everyone looked amazing and loved the way they looked. Color palettes, skin tones and ages ranged and FBJ could handle it all. Would absolutely work with them in the future.

nd makeup trial. She made me feel and look BEAUTIFUL on my wedding day, as well as the rest of my girls!

il, and was also super friendly. I asked to change a few things from my hair/makeup trial and she had no issue with it at all. She listened and adapted to make the changes. Super happy with how both my hair and makeup turned out on the day! Thank you again to Sonia and the other artist for helping to make our wedding day so special!

makeup for my trial and day of. She created the exact look I was going for and made me feel so beautiful. She was willing to make any adjustments I wanted and really wanted to make sure I was happy with not only my look, but that of my entire party. She graciously provided any touchups needed to my party even if they had been done by another artist. She was wonderful and I can’t recommend her enough. The other artists we had doing services were Amanda P and Rebecca who were also amazing. We all had a great time getting ready together, they had great energy and were truly a joy to work with.

punctual, organized, and attentive to the girls needs and preferences. The level of dedication and attention to detail truly set them apart. Leading up to my trail and again the wedding day, the communication between me and FBJ was wonderful! They were responsive to my inquiries (last minute add ons, ah!!!), and their willingness to listen and understand me made the entire experience smooth and enjoyable. I highly recommend FBJ to anyone in need of top-tier hair and makeup services. Thank you!!!

is simply an understatement. Joy is responsive and detail oriented; she also truly loves what she does and making brides feel cared for. I also cannot recommend FBJ enough for boudoir photography, as Joy makes you feel more confident and beautiful coming out of the photoshoot than you do going in! I also cannot recommend my day of hair and makeup artist Courtney. As a naturally curly haired woman, I was so afraid of having someone who’s never worked with my hair before. But to all naturally curly haired women out there looking for a hair and makeup artist go see Courtney at FBJ. She actively listens and understands that you know best how your hair operates and she caters to that. She was so kind and thoughtful, took notes, and came prepared the day of. I thank both Courtney and Joy for making me feel so beautiful.

all the guidance and details she provided. Alicia and Rebeckah were able to move quickly and efficiently through our hair and makeup and we had 15 services scheduled. We were always ahead of schedule and everyone looked stunning. They were super flexible too! One of my bridesmaids wanted makeup done and wasn't originally scheduled and they got her in. They were also able to do this with a bridesmaid who decided last minute she wanted her hair done. I never felt stressed that we were behind or needed more time. I was so happy with how I looked on my wedding day and my bridesmaids were too. Thank you so much for a stress free beauty process!!

gave me exactly what I asked for.

day twice. They arrived on time at 5:30 a.m. on my wedding day and were super organized and kept the flow moving. All of my bridesmaids were happy with their hair and/or makeup. Dena did my hair and makeup and I couldn't be happier. She was a joy to spend time with during the trial and the day of and she gave me exactly what I wanted with some special touches. We had a packed wedding schedule with two wedding ceremonies, a baraat, a lunch and a reception on a hot and humid day. My makeup looked fantastic throughout the day. Looking at my hair and makeup you'd hardly believe how much I was actually sweating. It really lasted all day and I felt so confident for every event. I'd definitely recommend choosing FBJ for your wedding!

t having a very natural look, since I don't wear makeup often, and made my skin look flawless. Her and the team did an outstanding job with all 7 of my bridesmaids plus my mother and MIL. I HIGHLY recommend FBJ Weddings and Studio FBJ for all hair and makeup needs!

th (and Joy) for the wedding. They were both always willing to answer my questions and worked within my short timeline (we got married at 2:00pm) to get all my bridesmaids, moms, and grandmas finished in time for the wedding. Faith was amazing! She kept me calm throughout my day and leading up the wedding. Faith was always available to answer my questions and help me throughout the wedding planning process. She has a lot of experience with weddings and it show! Her suggestions were always extremely helpful. Prior to the wedding, Faith helped me pick out extensions to use that perfectly matched my hair color and looked amazing the day of. Faith styled my hair exactly the way I wanted it for the wedding and it held up all day! Make up was also absolutely beautiful. I cannot rave about Faith enough, she was absolutely INCREDIBLE! Thank you FBJ weddings for helping make my day exactly what Ben and I imagined!

felt so relaxed knowing that I didn't have to stress about my appearance for the day because I was in great hands (especially because I did a trial run before the big day). Everyone's makeup stayed flawless the entire day. Of note, my mother hardly wears any makeup and the artist who worked with her made sure she didn't feel pressured to have a full-glam look and worked to make her makeup fit her preferences! These services were definitely worth the price paid!

the wedding - she’s created videos on what to expect from her team every step of the way and was always quick to answer emails and questions. As a covid bride, I had to postpone my wedding, and Joy was happy to accommodate and could not have made it easier on us. I had a trial with my lead stylist, Courtney, and she was fantastic to work with. As someone who doesn’t wear much makeup or do much to my hair, I wasn’t sure what to expect, but she was well prepared, made me feel comfortable, happily explained everything, and took the time to try out a variety of different options on things I was unfamiliar with. All of which I was so grateful for! On the day-of, Courtney and Amanda were awesome - the bridesmaids, moms, and myself all felt and looked amazing thanks to them. Courtney was even sweet enough to run down to our pictures site when my veil fell out to help put it back in and secure it! I cannot thank the FBJ Weddings team enough!

al to the day of hair/makeup. She clearly loves what she does and it really shows! She is a great person and I can’t say enough about her as well as the quality of work that she does! Gigi was also awesome and was able to add another makeup service for my mom with no problem. Your team was able to really keep to the schedule and make sure everything got done on time, helping to keep me calm and stress free, which I appreciate so much! Not to mention, all of the email communication with Joy throughout the process made everything so easy! I love how everything was so clearly laid out and all my questions were answered.

cture of a hair style and one picture of makeup that I liked, and she replicated it perfectly on the first try. Then did it perfectly again for the wedding! Her support stylist, Melissa, was also AWESOME and so patient with my bridesmaids.... Joy was lovely and communicative, and I also definitely recommend the boudoir photography experience :)

de a wedding day timeline as a Google Sheet you can share with other vendors, easy online payment, and YouTube videos with prep information you can forward to your bridal party. All my bridesmaids were happy with the services and they finished ahead of schedule. Most importantly, I felt gorgeous on my wedding day. I am not normally a makeup person and I didn’t have the clearest vision of what I wanted, but Courtney created the perfect look for me made me feel so comfortable and confident. What’s more, my hair, makeup, and birdcage veil stayed firmly in place through hours of sweating and dancing.

ere finished I was so happy because I knew I picked the right company to go with for my special day. Both of these ladies were super personable and made the morning enjoyable to have them around. I did want to give a special shoutout to Sonia- She gave me exactly what I asked for even though a lot of makeup artists in VA aren't used to doing full heavy glam and hair. My wedding was outdoors and unfortunately after I slipped my dress on, it started to downpour. There was a lot of rain and a lot of tears that could've left my makeup and hair a mess but it lasted the entire night and it looked as good as new even at the end. Thank you!!!!

e was beyond amazing!! I can’t say enough good things about her. She was so sweet and patient with me and my bridal party. She had us all looking flawless and made us feel beautiful! Would hands down recommend FBJ Weddings to any bride!

for photos and Joy and the other photographer made me feel very comfortable and told me exactly what to do. Dena did my hair and makeup for my wedding and it was perfect! She is so talented. I had wanted to make a change to my hair since my trial and did not know exactly what I wanted to do differently and Dena tried something and it was perfect!! I got so many compliments on my hair and makeup. My bridesmaids were also all THRILLED with their hair and makeup. Joy and Dena were both a joy to work with, they both clearly love their jobs and take pride in their profession, and they really take care of their customers.

es leading up to the big day! Autumn did my hair and makeup for my engagement session and I immediately requested her for my wedding. I also took advantage of the teeth whitening and wash/blowout before my rehearsal dinner. I don't know much about hair and makeup, but the ladies at FBJ are so knowledgeable and creative. They helped me with all decisions and made the process a breeze. My entire bridal party, my mom, and I all looked and felt beautiful! I plan on using FBJ and The Studio for any beauty needs in the future!

ly worked with me during my hair/make up trial, and on the wedding day, to make sure my look was just right. On the wedding day, the FBJ team was timely, professional, and made my whole bridal party feel gorgeous! Thanks so much!

amazing job on my hair as well as my bridal party's. All my friends kept commenting how quick she was but never sacrificed on quality. She was also just so sweet and took my feedback after my first trial. Would highly recommend booking them!

ven ahead of schedule which was a stress reliever! Gigi did an amazing job on the girls' makeup - they all looked so beautiful and the makeup went so well with the bridesmaids dresses. Everyone loved their hair by Dena and she made me feel absolutely beautiful for my wedding day! Not to mention both hair and makeup held up in the 97 degree heat perfectly! Definitely recommend FBJ!

wedding day was probably about 100 degrees and when I say our hair and makeup didn't budge, it didn't BUDGE! I looked and felt flawless from when my hair and makeup was done until I went to bed that night. Joy is also THE best to work with! Scheduling, questions, invoices, etc. were answered so promptly and she happy to help whenever I needed it. I also highly recommend the bridal series facials as well. They were AMAZING and I will probably keep getting facials from Joy going forward they were that great! I cannot recommend FBJ Weddings enough for your hair, makeup, and bridal needs! THANK YOU for making me look and feel amazing on my wedding day!

s AMAZING!! She was fun to work with, easy going and made me feel like a princess!! My bridesmaids loved their hair and makeup as well, which made the whole experience that much better. Thank you FBJ!!

natural, summery, and glowy look for my wedding and lots of the other studios I looked at were a bit more traditional or glam (which FBJ certainly does too!). Joy was very communicative and clear about the services they offer from the start and hopped on the phone with me several times to talk through COVID concerns, styles that my bridesmaids wanted, etc. I did a trial three months out from the wedding and was extremely impressed with the care and time Sonia took in doing my hair and makeup. She would try something, ask if I liked it, and if not, we changed course. She was really lovely to work with and genuinely cares about her clients. On the wedding day, Sonia and Jasmin provided hair and makeup for six people each. They wore masks throughout and did a fantastic job keeping us on schedule. Everyone loved how their hair and makeup turned out, including me!

everyone in my party with a start time of 8 AM -- I was beyond thrilled! My stylist (Dena) was experienced and so easy to work with -- she kept checking that everything was exactly how I wanted. All the stylists arrived on time, finished early (the dream!) and everyone looked beautiful!

rvice, but WOW, I am so happy I did. FBJ Weddings was fabulous to work with, great communication the entire time. Joy was so helpful. And the hair and makeup artist, Alicia, was truly and artist! She was efficient, talented and made you feel comfortable through the entire process. Alicia was tasked with 5 members of the grooms family from the flower girl, age 5, to grandmother of the groom, age 85. Each of us had a special role and we looked and felt amazing. For the sake of picture alone having this service is 100% worth every penny. For self-esteem it's priceless. So to all the Mother's of Grooms who may be undecided on whether to have this done - call FBJ to schedule hair and makeup for your son's wedding! Quality service will be provided and you will look amazing for your son. To all of the brides, FBJ's artists are fantastic.

of the way. I had the pleasure of using The Studio's many different services in prep for the big day and every time it was wonderful. On the day of the wedding, Faith, GiGi and Autumn were AMAZING. All of the girls, myself included looked beautiful and felt beautiful. The 3 girls took incredible care of us and everyone's hair and makeup lasted through the night. I cannot recommend FBJ enough, if you are planning a wedding and looking for Hair & Makeup this is the team you NEED!

by 10pm my hair and makeup was still in place! Dena had super attention to detail to make sure I was happy with my style for the day. They were so much fun to have around! Leading up to the wedding, Joy was so wonderfully organized with the whole process! She sent timely emails and a schedule leading up to the big day. It made the planning process so much easier. Overall, my bridal party and myself highly recommend this team!

ork with. Based on their availability and my selected hair style, Joy matched me up with Dena. During our trail, I had no idea if I wanted to do my hair all up or half up half down. Dena styled my hair in several different ways and took photos from every angle so I could see exactly how it would look on my big day. On the day of my wedding, I decided to go to with a completely different style and Dena just rolled with the punches, she was so great! After she was halfway done by hair, I remembered that I had brought extensions that I wanted her to put in, so she had to back track and make up time and she still did an amazing job! All my bridesmaids loved how their hair turned out too! I would 100% recommend Dena and FBJ to any and all brides!

extremely flexible during the pandemic as we had to reschedule our wedding twice. I was fortunate enough to be paired with Alicia as my main hair and makeup stylist. She was extremely patient and listened to my vision. Man, is this chick talented. I absolutely LOVED my look during the trial and even more so on my wedding day! On the wedding day, Alicia and Megan took the time to make each one of my bridesmaids, MOG and my husband’s sister look absolutely stunning! They were extremely professional, clean/safe (in regards to COVID specifically) and such a good time in the bridal suite! Our hair and makeup didn’t budge all night which is extremely impressive! I could not have asked for a better experience for my wedding! Thank you FBJ Weddings!

ding for a hair style change! Reassuring her that the new style she chose was perfect! And it was! Alicia was fun to work with on the wedding day which allowed us to relax and. enjoy the moment! So happy we booked them to be our hair and make-up stylist!

I did! She is so talented and I loved my look! The team made it a breeze to get my bridal party ready while taking the time to make each of my bridesmaids look amazing! I could not have asked for a better experience for my wedding! Thank you FBJ Weddings!

and then hit it out of the part day-of. She was so easy to work with and the entire planning process with FBJ was super easy. They were more affordable then a lot of the other places I looked at and the service was perfect.

t amazing on my wedding day in large part due to the talented professionals at FBJ!
