ed quickly without making anyone feel rushed. They were flexible and patient about a number of timeline adjustments that had to be made (no fault of theirs, entirely on my end). We had a wide range of ages getting styled and everyone looked gorgeous - from 21 to 70! I have thin, shoulder length hair and wanted a rather large clip and pin set put in - and I was so worried it would fall out or get loose throughout the night! It stayed 100% secure all night long through lots and lots of dancing. Makeup needed no touch-ups other than a little lipstick reapplication after dinner. I don't usually wear any makeup, and Kristi was able to design a look that was glamorous without causing any discomfort. I highly recommend Best of You!

Not only did she do a great job but she vibed with my wedding party really well, and even helped us take a few fun videos for our Instagram stories getting ready. I would highly recommend her.

be happier with the decision to entrust Kristi and her team at The Best of You with my wedding party's hair and makeup. I had a very large bridal party, with about 15 people (including family) needing their hair and makeup done on my wedding day. The Best of You team arrived exactly on time and in full force! They brought a team of five extremely talented hair and makeup artists, each of which made every single person look as though they had stepped off of the runway. Everyone’s makeup was perfect, not overdone, and our hair held all night long. The artists themselves were also so much fun! We had a blast getting ready with Kristi and her team, and they were all so accommodating. I will say, at times it took a while to get email responses, but do not be discouraged by this! They will get back to you, and if they say they will be there, you can count on it! I cannot recommend The Best of You enough!! We felt so lucky that they were available for our wedding day!

as my makeup artist. We did a trial at the salon and she was very receptive to the little tweaks I wanted and she took notes to make sure we were ready for the wedding day. On the wedding day, she came to the house we had rented to do our makeup. My girls RAVED about their makeup and were thrilled with their lashes which were included as well. She was very communicative, timely and affordable. I was actually offended by some of the prices that other makeup artists were charging (like, really? It's going to take $300 of makeup to make me look my best?). But Kristi's prices were reasonable and I was very happy with the outcome. Highly recommend!

the trials, etc. I know it’s hard during Covid but I felt like there was lack of communication. Then what really confused me was my hair trial was not with the same person who showed up on my wedding day. So I had two different similar hair styles. They both did a good job, but my trial hair was better than the day of hair.

We did have to make some adjustments with your beauty team due to COVID related issues and us wanting to provide you and your bridal party with the highest level of safety.

I actually had a different hairstylist from a totally different company cancel on me 2 months before my wedding, and I was left scrambling trying to find someone to do our hair. It was such a blessing in disguise because that’s how I ended up speaking with Kristi and booking Mallori, and I couldn’t be happier! My Newport wedding was a destination wedding for me, so I wasn’t able to come in for a hair trial, and Mal actually ended up doing my trail on Kristi’s hair and sending me a bunch of photos, which was SO amazing and so far above and beyond what I could have asked for. On my wedding day, Mal was so sweet and fun, all of my girls came out looking like models, and she spent so much time on me perfecting every little detail and single strand of hair until it was absolutely perfect. I can’t recommend her enough! Mal and Kristi are such a pleasure to work with and Mal will have you looking and feeling like the most beautiful bride in the world!!! Love them so much!!!!

wedding. Prior to my wedding trial she asked me to save some pictures of the makeup look I was going for. I brought them in the day of the trail & she absolutely nailed it. The day of my wedding she was as calm as a cucumber and did an outstanding job of making everyone look beautiful. One word I would also use for Kristi is she's PATIENT with every single bride and bridesmaid I've seen her work on, which to me, speaks volumes when it comes to the kind of person she is professionally and personally.

ere all done by the time I requested so we could move on to pictures. The biggest issue with Studio B is planning and communicating. Both with scheduling the initial trial and finalizing details a few weeks out from the wedding, it was extremely difficult to get a call or email back. At some points I had multiple emails and phone calls into the company and the average response time was two weeks. This got stressful as I was trying to pay off the balance and figure out timing for my bridesmaids to arrive. No one at the salon deals with the weddings except Kristi from what I can tell, so no one could help me if she wasn’t available. Overall, I think they did a great job and everyone was happy. I would recommend using them, but keep in mind the timing of email turnaround when planning so you don’t get stressed!

It's a bit awkward to be telling the people making you look beautiful that you would like to see things a bit differently but they make you feel comfortable in that role. Kristi is polite and professional. Most importantly everybody was on time and got the job done early helping me to start the wedding day more relaxed. There is no price you can put on that. My only criticism is their mandatory 20 percent tip. I personally think tip should be discretionary and view mandatory tips as a buried cost. Just make it part of the price and leave the tipping up to the customer. Also, they are much more affordable than a lot of the places in Newport where I got married. Some people wanted an INSANE amount of money to do hair and makeup. No thanks. I felt Kristi's prices were reasonable overall.

I never even made it in because obviously they are doing so well they didn't need my business. You won't get that with Studio B. I now see Kelly for all my hair care needs; the salon is so friendly and treats everyone with kindness and respect. They truly care about how you look on your wedding day - and just..in general! I'm so happy I found them! You won't be disappointed!

Kristi, Kelly and Caroline were absolutely amazing at my wedding. My wedding was in CT and the girls came down to the venue to help myself, 6 bridesmaids and 2 mothers get ready. Kristi applied the HD Airbrush makeup on all of us. I can't te...
ll you how lightweight and amazing it looked and felt. My sister, who never wears makeup, was amazed at how subtle yet beautiful it was! Kristi really listens to exactly what you want and makes you look gorgeous! Kelly and Caroline did our hair. Each one of us has different types/lengths of hair. Whenever I used to get my hair curled for events (before Kelly), it would take forever because I have thick, long hair. Kelly was able to accomplish it in half the time and make it look even better! Some of the bridesmaids and moms wanted their hair completely up while others wanted it curled and down. Kelly and Caroline were very accommodating and gave each girl unique and modern styles. Thank you girls! You all made my day so special and stress free!!

I couldn’t have been happier with my hair and makeup, and my 7 bridesmaids and mom looked great too! Kristi was super helpful in setting everything up, including travel to our wedding site. It costs a bit more, but it was worth it for us to r...
educe the stress of transportation. Jess and Sam were very responsive to my requests. I wanted my makeup to look natural and like myself but I also wanted to look fabulous, and Jess nailed it. I also changed my hair choice about a dozen times and Sam was so patient and I was so happy with the final result! I felt like a model all day! They were easy to talk with, professional, and I am so happy that I chose them!

Kristi did my bridal makeup - and the makeup for my 5 braidesmaids and my mom - on my wedding day. She did a fantastic job. I felt beautiful and I know the rest of the ladies did as well. Kristi was able to capture each of our personalities so ...
we felt like ourselves, only better. Kristi was professional, efficient, organized and accomodating on the day of the wedding and througout the process. I had two trials with Kristi in advance and she was great about checking in with me as the wedding day approached. Kristi also did my makeup for our engagement party. She did a wonderful job there as well. Completely different from bridal - fun and playful. Thanks, Kristi!!!

I used Studio B for hair and makeup for my bridesmaids, mom and myself on my wedding day. Malorie(hair) and Kristi(make-up)were very accommodating and came to my Aunt's house where 5 bridesmaids, 2 Junior bridesmaids and myself got ready. Both...
arrived in the morning and did hair and makeup for everyone. All the girls and myself were very happy with our looks. Some of us even had the false eyelashes, which were a great touch and stood out in pictures. My bridesmaids were stunning! Malorie was great with each girl,finding out which style they wanted and looked fabulous in. I couldn't have been happier with my hair and makeup. My hair came out exactly as I wanted and stayed in all day. The makeup looked great. I am so glad that Studio B was part of my wedding. Thank you Mal and Kristi!

I selected Studio B for hair and make-up for my wedding on May 26, 2013. I couldn't have been happier! Samantha and Kristi were a pleasure to work with. Samantha is a fantastic stylist. When I went in for my dry-run, she suggested that I ad...
d layers to my long hair, as the curls would have more bounce and it would create a fuller look when pulled to the side. I am so glad that I took her advice, because on my wedding day, I could have been a hair model! She was able to achieve the exact look that I had in mind, and her attention to detail was awesome. Kristi, one of the owners, did my make-up. I have always gone to MAC in the past to have my make-up done for special occasions, but I am so glad I chose to use Kristi for my wedding. She uses Stila products, which lasted all day, without looking too thick. I also had a dry run with her, and she choose a plum palette (which I would never had chosen on my own) that looked awesome!! In addition, she did my makeup so FAST! Less than 15 minutes and I was all set- false lashes and all. Kristi and Sam were truly awesome- they styled my mother in law and a couple of my friends as well- and everybody was really pleased. I would recommend Studio B to any bride or bridal party- you will not be disappointed!
