e across Bona Fide Beauty Co on Instagram. Stefani was so gentle and intentional with my curls, and worked some magic so that my curls lasted ALL DAY! When it came to makeup, she was able to make my features pop with such a cool and dramatic look. All of my bridesmaids were also thrilled with their hair and makeup - which lasted all day long for every single one of us (7am to at least midnight if you can believe that!). Stefani was so responsive throughout the whole process, and her team was prompt and efficient. I would absolutely recommend Bona Fide Beauty Co!

e. Stefani exceeded every expectation I had and left me feeling so beautiful on my day. Even with a last minute change after being down a bridesmaid the day of, the schedule to get everyone ready on team was a huge success. It was something I was a bit nervous about having a larger party, but it went fantastic! Stefani and her team were so easy to talk to and they all were so genuine and down to earth. Thank you all SO much for helping contribute happiness to my wedding day.

er looking at the photos on their website and instagram, I was sold. Stefani answered all of my questions via email as we figured out all the services for my family and bridesmaids. Since I don’t live in the Lancaster area, I had to schedule my HMU trial for a day only 3 weeks out from my wedding when I was going to be in town for another event and Stefani was wonderfully accommodating. She is incredibly easy to talk to and I had a lovely time with her at the trial and on the wedding day. Her team was very quick at completing all of our services (hair and makeup for 11 of us!) but also thorough and took the time to understand what each person’s vision was for their look that day. Everyone was super happy with the outcome. I’ll also say that even though I danced the whole night away, my makeup still looked perfect at the end of the evening. Would absolutely recommend BonaFide Beauty Co!

ere so intentional and thoughtful, making sure each had their own look that suited them best - our grandmas are naturally stunning, but I swear they looked 15 years younger. Cannot thank Stefani and team enough for taking such good care of us.

morning so relaxing, fun & flowed so well into becoming the perfect day! Stefani did my makeup & hair exactly how I envisioned & made me feel like a fairytale character. The mothers & the bridesmaids looked beautiful without sacrificing any of their natural beauty. It truly was a pleasure getting to spend time with them & I wish I could do it all over again!

s. She is so easy to work with and her ladies made my ladies feel so very loved and beautiful. I cannot compliment Stefani and her team enough. She is the absolute best and complimented my vision with ease. Don’t even get me started on my hair… insane. I would book her and her squad IMMEDIATELY.

ke themselves. They were so sweet with my grandmother and just really made our getting ready process fantastic. When I had to reschedule my wedding due to covid, she was the one of the very first vendors I spoke to. She was so kind and supportive and I truly picked my new date to accommodate her schedule and I don’t regret it! She is worth her weight in gold. *I will add professional pictures when I receive them

g calming vibes on what can be a stressful day! I was so pleased with my bridal hair and makeup - Stef assembled fresh flowers into my hair beautifully. Highly recommend!

oks as well. If you're looking for the boho braid of your dreams, hire her!

such wonderful personalities and getting ready with them felt like just hanging out with friends. I’m so happy I got to have them for my day.

mmodating with changing dates due to covid. With all the craziness of the actual wedding day, her and her sisters were so calm and relaxing it almost felt like we were having a spa day. I can’t thank Stef enough for making me feel like a real life princess the day of our wedding. I had SO many compliments regarding my hair and makeup. This was by far the best hair and makeup experience I’ve ever had and would recommend her so highly!!! Once again, thank you Stef!

. Stefani was responsive to all of my emails, and she was very flexible and understanding, which made wedding planning less stressful for me. She answered so many of my questions throughout the whole process. When I met her on the day of my hair and makeup trial, it felt like I was catching up with an old friend. Stefani has a beautiful soul and made me feel comfortable the whole time. I wasn't sure what exactly I wanted makeup-wise, and she was more than willing to create a look for me. There were only a couple of things that I wanted to change, and Stefani listed to all of my feedback. On the day of my wedding, she made me look exactly how I hoped I would! My hair and my makeup took my own breath away, and I love seeing how I look in my wedding photos. Stefani and her team also did hair and makeup for my bridesmaids and my mother, and every single one of them was really happy with how they looked. My mother especially had been worried about how her makeup would turn out, and she couldn't have been happier with her makeup after it was done. All of my bridesmaids had different hairstyles from each other, but they all matched the dreamy, romantic feel that I had envisioned for the wedding. Overall, Stefani and her team have so much talent. I highly recommend booking them for your wedding!

edding got moved multiple times due to Covid, and Stefani and her team of sisters were so accommodating and calming through every step of the process. On the wedding day, they did such an amazing job!!! My wedding party and I all loved their final looks, and walked away from the day feeling like I had a new friend. She nit only does amazing work but makes you feel so comfortable and less dressed in such a crazy day. Stefani - I can’t thank you enough for making the day so special and making me and my party feel so incredibly beautiful! If there is one person to have on your wedding day team - Bonafide Beauty Co is MUST. Love you guys!!!

t to hire her for their weddings too ;) Thank you so much again!

ho will go as far (or as short) as you would like. Honestly, I wish I had told her no holds barred, do whatever she wants for my wedding day, because she is GOLD. I was kiiiiind if a control freak and got exactly the look I wanted at the time — these are both the biggest compliments from me for an artist. She can reign it in and do precisely as you please, or if you just give her the room to do her thing, she can create something totally magical. And she’s the most chill, wonderful, gritty, real person through it all. If you choose anyone else, you’re an idiot. Stef is THE ONE.

keup turned out. I truly felt beautiful for my wedding day! (and wow, she is such a genius at adding floral pieces to add an extra wow factor to hair styles!) Stefani and her whole team were very professional, but also brought a great sense of humor. I would highly recommend Bonafide Ginger to anyone planning their big day!!

e with her work on Instagram and she did not disappoint! She was so sweet and put her own spin on what I thought I wanted for my hair and makeup and it turned out gorgeous!! (if I do say so myself). The rest of my wedding party could not get enough of their looks and were so happy with how they turned out. Even my mother, who was nervous to get her makeup done since she never wear makeup, loved how it turned out! She does her trials in her own home and I got to meet her mother and kids (so cute by the way) which makes you see who Stefani is as a person-- kind, sweet, and caring. I could not be happier with my choice in hair/makeup artist and could not thank her enough!

our big day goes smoothly. I felt like part of a fairytale because my hair and makeup was gorgeous and cannot recommend Stefani enough!

not happy with thier hair and makeup in a wedding party, but not with the BONAFIDE GINGER SQUAD! EVERYONE LOVED THIER HAIR & MAKEUP! I found Stefani on Instagram, and fell deeply in love with her artwork! She was one of the first vendors I booked, because I know she gets booked up so quickly! BOY am I happy I booked her and her BONAFIDE SQUAD! I had my trail, which I went to her house and felt so comfortable! Then I decided to go with extensions on the wedding day. She ordered them, and they matched my hair perfectly ( keep in mind I have highlights in my hair) THEY WERE PERFECT! I get to keep them too <3 Stefani goes above and beyond to make you feel glamorous on your wedding day! BOOK HER, YOU WONT REGRET IT! Thanks again Stefani & Your Squad, YOU GUYS ROCK & ARE KILLING THE GLAM GAME! XO Lauren Traver

and team did all of my bridal parties make-up, plus both moms. Everyone was in love with their boho-chic hair and all the volume she was able to get in everyone's up dos!!! My friends and mothers looked absolutely GORGEOUS!!! Stefani is truly a GODDESS and has perfected her craft. I have never felt as BEAUTIFUL as she helped make me for the wedding day!!! Not only is she super talented, but she is a pure joy to work with. She makes you laugh, talks you through what she is doing, and made the day incredibly special! I also highly recommend keeping her around for additional touch-up services. When I started to sweat or cry, Stefani was there to the rescue!!!! On top of all that, Stefani helped out with pictures by holding my veil, helping me walk, or adjusting my pose. SHE TRULY DOES IT ALL! 100% RECOMMEND.

it held up all day (even with lots of wind)! I bought extensions from Stefani and they were totally worth it. They added so much fullness,which was the look I was going for, yet they looked completely natural and no one knew I was wearing extensions. All the bridesmaids looked incredible and received many compliments from guests. I would definitely use her services again!

d to book her for my HMUA. There are not a lot of times in my life where I have felt beautiful, but Stefani single-handedly managed to make me feel like a goddess on my wedding day. The day of my trial we talked like we were long lost best friends & she is such a sweet, down to earth person. I showed her 1 photo and she managed to turn that blurry photo into a hair & makeup masterpiece. The day of the wedding her and her team came on site to do HMUA for my me, my mom and my bridesmaids. Stef had everything organized to a T so that things would flow smoothly (which they did). She even re-did my MOH's hair, no questions asked when she decided she didn't want to wear it down. She listened to exactly what I wanted & what I envisioned and made me look like magical forest nymph on my big day. I cannot say enough good things about Stef & if you book her you WILL NOT be disappointed!

even own a curling iron. My photogs had said it's important to get an on-point HMU person because they can ruin the whole schedule of your day if they're not professional. I asked them for a preferred vendors list and Stefani was on it. I honestly wasn't sure how much I wanted to budget for HMU. But I had virtually no bridal party and knew I wouldn't necessarily have the required 6 services many HMU artists want. Stefani immediately appealed to me - she was quick and thorough in her responses, - she was super supportive, - her instagram was KILLER. Oh damn, I thought, these women look GOOD. I was so scared for my trial, but Stefani was down to earth, easy going, fun to talk to and clearly knew her stuff. I had my HMU done professionally a couple other times for other people's weddings and I never liked it. The make up was too dark and they never quite understood how I wanted me hair to look. They didn't do a bad job, but you really want to love the way you look for your wedding! The trial went great! And I knew I was going to be so happy on my wedding day. And I was MORE than happy. I was ecstatic. As good as the trail went, the wedding day went even better. I looked at myself in the mirror every damn chance I got. I kept waiting for my hair to fall apart or my makeup to run/fade/flake. But I kept thinking I looked amazing. Stefani took the thing I was most scared of and made it one of my most favorite parts of the wedding - husband aside :) Thank you so much. <3 <3 <3

e who may be of a more difficult nature that is involved with your day. I had Stefani handle my makeup for engagement photos and the wedding day, and she stayed on for touch-ups as well. Definitely choose her and her team!!

myself and helped us start off the big day with fun and laughs. To say everyone was happy would be an understatement--there were audible gasps-- that's how blow away with their looks everyone was. I went for a bolder look and Stef slayed it! If you're comfortable enough, just trust her to do her thing--and you'll be glad you did. I also hired Stef for refresher services, since you never know what the weather will do and I also knew there'd be tears. She was so great about touching me and my girls up and even stayed when the ceremony ran late. Bottom Line: I love her. You'll love her. If I had more reasons to get HMU done, I'd hire her every time. Pictures are forever! Hire the best!

f her artistry being absolute top notch, she and her team brought such a calm and fun energy to the day. She is a total rockstar!!! <3

est people I have ever met and went above and beyond to help my bridal party look their absolute best on our big day. I have never felt more beautiful in my entire life. I wish I could give more than five stars, because Stefani and her team deserve it. She is truly a talented, professional, and genuine person and I highly recommend working with her.

lso did hair and makeup for my mom, my maid of honor, my bridesmaids, and (due to a medical emergency) my husband! Everyone loved her services and the outcomes of her artistry. If she is available on your wedding date, there should be no question who to book!

e bride and groom. Everyone was different ages and had different requests and concerns about her hair and makeup and in the end, EVERYONE was happy!! As a bride, I wanted to feel like I looked beautiful and having had bad experiences in the past when I had my hair and makeup done, I was really afraid to hire someone to do my hair and makeup. There is absolutely no reason to be concerned with Stefani!! She listens and gives advice and she truly is a miracle worker -- she made me feel beautiful. She is incredibly talented and I am honored that she worked with me on my wedding day. I just hope I can have her do my hair and makeup again in the future! I can't recommend her and her team enough. Don't hesitate - book her immediately if you can!

pectations. She met and exceeded them, and was a delight to work with in the process! My daughter was breathtakingly beautiful. The rest of us were lovely as well. I felt like a princess, and it wasn't even my wedding! Our hair and makeup held out for the entire day, and then some. My hair was still lovely 14-15 hours after Stefani did it, when our wonderful day was finally over! We were delighted with Stefani's work, and would highly recommend her services.

e and quick to answer any questions I had before the big day. She also helped me pick out what services would work best for me. She was so fun, relaxed, and made the day just run so smoothly. All of her products were high quality, and everyone looked so beautiful! Brides, if you’re looking for an MUA, you can stop here! I would recommend her highly - you can’t go wrong!

her a very broad description of how I wanted my hair to look & she absolutely slayed it! I got compliments from so many people about how pretty my hair was at the wedding, and after the wedding weekend too. Not even going to lie, I loved my hair so much that I wore it still done to Brunch the next day, flower crown included. My hair has never looked better! Not only was Stefani amazing but her assistants did a FANTASTIC job as well. I had a large bridal party (11 girls) and every single one of their hair and makeup looked so good. They even helped all of us place flower crowns in our hair and created hairstyles that went well with the flower crown addition. Initially a lot of my bridesmaids did not sign up for eyelashes but after they saw how amazing of a job Stefani & her team did of putting them on, everyone jumped on the eye-lash bandwagon (they looked so good and natural to the point you might not even know we were wearing fake eye-lashes!) The whole team highlighted the beauty of my already beautiful bridesmaids perfectly! All of my bridesmaids told me how much they loved their hair and make-up and it was important to me that they liked it. One of my newly engaged bridesmaids already booked Stefani for her wedding day next year! Stefani and her team were professional and sweet, they were a great addition to the getting ready room and fit right in with me and all of my bridesmaids. I got to work with Stefani for my wedding day, my engagement photos, and I did a hair trial. Each time working with her was so fun, and those moments should be fun! If you're thinking of hiring Stefani for hair/make-up... DO IT because you won't be disappointed and shes worth it!

el taken care of and she knew exactly what I wanted. Stefani was the first person I hired as a vendor for our wedding because of her talent and creativity. I would not settle for anyone else and I am SO happy to have had her on our big day!!!

gable. I've had my hair professionally done many times in my life and have never entirely liked it. I thought those beautiful, romantic, soft, boho styles were something that only existed on pinterest and not in real life. Wrong. Stefani EXCEEDS any and all pinterest pictures I've ever seen. I couldn't stop staring at how gorgeous everyone in my bridal party looked! Oh and she is the boho braid QUEEN!!! We had people all night stopping the entire bridal party to say "I have to take a picture of your hair!". Her and her team made the morning of my wedding so fun and carefree! They felt more like lifelong friends that belonged in the bridal party!! They kept the conversation and fun going which helped keep my nerves at bay. Given the choice again, I would pick her and her team one MILLION times over!!! I can't express enough... she's WONDERFUL!! Book her now before she gets snatched up and becomes a big star in LA!!

r photos from other weddings (hair featuring braids, wavy hair, loose styles and make-up that is absolutely flawless) but when we booked her, I had not yet met her in person. When I met her at my trial, I could not have been happier to have selected Stefani. She was the perfect person to have on my wedding morning - so warm, friendly, down-to-earth, and genuine. When I had questions, she gave me her honest opinion which I trusted fully (which is so important for the person doing your hair and make-up for your big day - these are the photos you will have forever.) And, she made me look and feel absolutely stunning. I could not have been happier with the way my hair and make-up turned out - it was seriously what I had been picturing throughout the entire wedding process, executed flawlessly in real life. My entire bridal party loved their hair and make-up as well, which is no easy feat to please 9 females with very different tastes and styles. Thank you, thank you, thank you to Stefani and team for making us beautiful and being so wonderful to work with!

t the weight I am want to be and wasn't at the weight I wanted to be for my wedding. I didn't have great feelings about myself or my looks during this time and worrying about your appearance sky rockets when you're planning your wedding. I found Stefani through my venue. I saw her work via her Instagram and was in love. Her boho-chic style is exactly what I love and wish I could create myself. Her make up looks are wide ranging and I thought the finish product looked exquisite every time. When I finally met Stefani for my trial, I didn't feel so nervous any more. She's instantly inviting and friendly and she wants you to look and feel your best on your wedding day. 5 minutes after walking out of her house I said to my sister, "I don't feel self-conscious about the wedding anymore." I looked BEAUTIFUL which is something I don't say about myself often, or really ever. My hair was every mermaid fantasy and my makeup was divine. Whenever I emailed her, I would get such a quick response. She answered every question and never made me feel silly or dumb which something I felt a lot through the wedding planning process. Who knows how much something costs? Is it really worth it? I'm not a beauty expert either but she made me so at ease. Little note- my mother and I have a strained relationship. On the morning of my wedding as we were getting ready, my mother threw a fit and Stefani whisked me away to the bridal suite of my venue and finished my hair and makeup in there. She's a smart cookie and has a heart overflowing with compassion. Some would say she was just my make up artist and hair stylist but I look at her as so much more. Book her immediately. I knew I wanted my photos of this day to look magical and alluring and pastoral and it was. Every photo is great because I had a great base behind it. I had great hair and makeup that lasted all night. I wanted to love myself in my photos and Stefani helped me love myself in reality. I thought I would be caked with make up, but she really didn't use as much as I thought she would use. I felt stunning and that's all thanks to Stefani. I felt like a goddess (and looked like one too) because of The Bonafide Ginger. HIRE HER! NOW! DON'T WAIT! She is worth every penny. Plus, she seems like a person you probably need in your life. Get glammed up by Stefani and let it change you!

lt review to write because there are so many good things I want to share, but I don't have the words to say them! Book this girl (literally right now) for your wedding, or any other special day! Stefani has an extraordinarily talented eye for what will look best on YOU, specifically, and she blends that with the amazing talents of listening and execution. No matter what you envision, it's going to turn out way better than you would have ever dreamed because she knows not only how to replicate, but also how to tweak and create to make everything so much more beautiful. And if you don't know what you want or even what would look good, just ask her. She knows and she will work with you and you will be so amazed! Stefani is AWARD-WINNING for a reason. Stefani goes above and beyond for you. Everywhere I turned the day of my wedding, she was there helping me out! She did so much more than any makeup artist would think to do. One of my bridesmaid's had an issue with hair color, and Stefani went out of her way to fix it the night before in a hotel! Also, I cried probably every 5 seconds on my wedding day, and there she was - touching me up like I was on the red carpet. And I can't forget how she helped with my portraits! She was right there, by my side, making sure everything was in place despite the wind and the cold and the tears. Lastly, I think you should know that she's an amazing person. I feel like I became so close with her over the course of my wedding planning. She laughed and joked with everyone while getting ready, danced with me and my girls during the reception, and cried with me throughout the day. Heck, she texted me afterwards to let me know that she cried watching my wedding video! Seriously, do yourself a favor, bride-to-be. Book Stefani.

o earth, and all around extremely talented. She and her team finished 10 girls in under four hours, with extra time to spare! I had the best experience as a bride and could not have wished for the morning to go any more smooth and fun. Thank you Stefani and The Bonafide Ginger Team, can I have a wedding day again so we can relive it? What a wonderful experience!

p both lasted well into the night - even after a lot of dancing! My girls and I had so many compliments on our hair and makeup. She is so unique in her style. Don't pass her up!!

am was fun and professional! My girls had a blast with them! I would hire Stefani and her crew all over again!!

stuff. It was the first time I got my make-up professionally done and it was SO WORTH IT. My mom and I loved her work so much that we decided to hire her for my upcoming wedding to do the make-up for all of my bridesmaids, me (the bride), and my mom. I can't wait to see her again and feel like a princess all over again! I cannot recommend her services enough.

as more than flexible for changes, emailed back quickly, and completely made me feel at ease and trusting. My trial was everything I could have ever wanted and I couldn't have been more satisfied with the results. I am looking forward to my wedding day and spending more time with her as she's not only an amazing artist but an equally amazing person. Book her! You will not regret it!

spondence - everything you'd want you're hair and makeup artist! Beyond being highly professional and skilled in her field- Stefani and her team quickly became friends. A calming presence and a voice of reason in those highly stressful moments which are inevitable. Simply put- you should hire her- you won't regret it!!

so blessed to have Stefani and her crew to be part of our special day! Just check out her work.. no need to explain how talented she truly is!
