Every bride has their “story” about what went wrong on their wedding day, I never planned on sharing mine like this but my heart tells me I have to in order to save the potential 200(+) brides all over the country she’s about to continue doing this to. This woman is a scamming MONSTER, that’s the kindest description that comes to my head when I think of not only what she did to me, my family, my husband, my other vendors….but all the things she took from me on my wedding day that I’ll never get back or be able to replace and she could care less.
Chantel single-handedly screwed over my entire wedding schedule, taking away time from my whole family, limiting my time for photos to 5 minutes of trying to hold back tears getting ready and 20 minutes with everyone before my ceremony started, I was supposed to have 3 HOURS that I PAID for for videography and photography.
Here’s where it starts though, Chantel knew she personally would not be available for my wedding day so she provided Angie (she was an angel sent from heaven after everything Chantel did to us) and she was SUPPOSED to provide a second makeup/hair artist as there were 9 people getting both hair and makeup, Chantel KNEW all year, the week before, the night before, and the morning of that there was NO second artist showing up for me, she did not communicate this to me, or to Angie. I tried to contact her 10 different ways after the first hour passed with absolutely no response from her (I learned later she was posting her experience at Burning Man in California during the time of me holding back tears and trying not to let this stress ruin my day), at this point we did not know what to do–was someone else coming and lost? Does Angie try to do as many hairs as possible? How the heck are we going to do this? With the lingering “don’t really start because we’ve paid for this”....my cousin did ALL of my bridesmaids full face of makeup, recognizing— we don’t have time, or another option. Angie was an absolute rockstar and did as many updo’s as possible while trying to apologize on Chantel’s behalf that she could not even believe this was happening to me.
Chantel stated in the contract we would be done at 12:30pm, I was unable to get any photos with my girls ready at the hotel, unable to take time to get ready and enjoy the time with my mom and sister–these are the things I will forever tear up about knowing I can’t get those memories or moments back with my loved ones. My photographer and videographer left the hotel to meet us at our first look spot which we arrived 2 hours late to, hardly had ANY time for portraits, group shots (my photographer and videographer are absolute professionals because they did capture the moment in a way that from the outside you would never know the limitations they had put on them).
Chantel NEVER reached out to me. She tried to make me feel bad for reaching out over the past 2 months for a refund and has come up with every unprofessional excuse under the sun, has actually told me to stop reaching out to her and she REGRETS TAKING ME AS A CLIENT….. She pulls this “sob story” when people call her out on her wrong doing (again read the most recent YELP reviews there's at least 10 different stories all with the same story)
Please report her business to the Better Business Bureau. She goes by multiple names “The Face of Beauty” and “The Face of Destinations”

I did not go forward with this venue so this review is based only on communication and my experience with them from the period of booking them until 1 month before my wedding. This is not a review of their artist's work.
This company started out amazing, I was super excited to work with them. They were recommended by my venue and had great reviews on The Knot. They had good communication when I contacted them 1 year before my wedding. When I reached out 5 months before the wedding to try to set up a trial this is when I started having issues. I was not getting responses to my emails until 2 or 3 emails were sent from me. When trying to set up a date for the trial they did not set up a specific date for months. I reached out with multiple emails for 2 months to try to set up a trial date and the date kept changing. Two weeks before what I thought would be my trail we still hadn't set an exact date. When we finally did settle on a date for 5 days later I still did not have time for the trial. I continued to email to try to get a time for the trial and a location but still did not receive one. Finally the evening before the set date for the trial I still had not received a time or location that was when I decided I would not go forward with the company. I did not want the risk and stress of a lack of communication for my wedding day and once I read the yelp reviews I did not feel comfortable moving forward with the company. I emailed the company to tell them I would no longer be moving forward with them. I never received a response from them.
Once again, this review was purely based on my experience with the company and not based on their work.
I had Daisy as my lead artist for our wedding party. I had a HUGE wedding party for hair and makeup and Daisy was OUTSTANDING. I worked with owner Chantel to get everything in order for the day of. Chantel is so sweet and I very much enjoyed working with her.
Chantel and all the girls at The Face of Beauty are absolutely AMAZING! From the moment I inquired, Chantel immediately responded with a ton of information on herself and her company and was readily available to answer any and all of my questions. I wanted a more natural look for my wedding and she completely nailed it! She was on-time and very professional for the trial and her and her team arrived early and had everything set up and ready to go for when my bridal party and I arrived on the day of the wedding. They were extremely organized and ran on-time with 11 girls! I was extremely impressed! The entire party looked BEAUTIFUL for the wedding and I have The Face of Beauty to thank for that. You can not go wrong with Chantel and her team! Thank you for everything!
Chantel is Amazing! After trying to search for an artist and in a time crunch before my wedding I decided to check out my referral list from my venue and contacted The Face of Beauty and others. Chantel immediately left me a voice mail and emailed me about her and her services. Luckily she had my date available and we booked my trial run within the next day or two. I sent her the look I was going for along with details about the wedding and she nailed it! - Her and her assistant showed up on my wedding day on time and made us all look beyond beautiful. Not only did they do their job but they were also a joy to be around.
Chantel was a pleasure to work with, she was attentive and listened to how I wanted to look on my wedding day. I absolutely loved my hair and make-up and felt so confident and beautiful that day. She helped educate me on ways I can prepare my hair and skin for my wedding day to insure I looked and felt my absolute best. My entire make-up and hair process felt completely stress free. Meaning I didn't have to worry and I could enjoy my wedding day.
Chantel was a joy to work with. She was always available for any questions and gives you so much helpful information for skincare and prep before your wedding. I love her approach to makeup- clean, natural, simple. I felt flawless the day of my wedding and she matched my inspiration picture perfectly. There are lots of makeup artists who will try to put makeup on that they want to see you in and don’t listen to what you are looking for. This was not the case with Chantel. She listened and delivered. I was wearing the makeup, the makeup wasn’t wearing me.
Thanks again for everything Chantel! You’re the best!!
Chantel and her team are amazingly talented! She knew exactly what I meant with natural glam and did just that for my engagement shoot and wedding! My bridesmaids loved their hair & makeup as well and we all felt well taken care of by them! I’m grateful for selecting Face of Beauty to make me feel and look gorgeous on my big day!
I had Celia as my HMU artist and she and her team did a great job in making me, my bridesmaids, and moms look beautiful on the day-of. Celia was very nice, friendly, and cheerful.
Also, Chantel was very quick to respond to all my emails. Her team were very open to all my suggestions and changes after the HMU trial.
Chantel and her team were great to work with! I felt SO gorgeous on my wedding day, and my groom thought so too :) Chantel was able to make me feel special and beautiful while somehow making everything look natural and easy. All of my bridesmaids loved their looks as well!
Chantel and her team did a wonderful job on hair and make-up on our wedding day and for my make-up trial. We had quite a large bridal party, as well as extra family members asking for hair and make-up. Chantel was a great communicator, all of the artists were personable and professional and they were punctual and efficient. Thank you!
Chantel & Celia did a phenomenal job with my bridesmaids, mother of the bride & mother of the groom! They were professional, on time, informative and even finished everyone with plenty of time to spare.
I am so thankful to them both and would recommend them 1000%!
Celia made me feel so beautiful for my day! She was so fun to work with and the rest of the crew did a great job on my bridesmaid and moms!
Chanel and Celia are just the best! They did hair and make-up for me, my bridal party, and both moms. They really just GET it. Everyone's makeup looked fantastic. Even my mother in law who was super skeptical LOVED her hair and makeup. THANK YOU!!!1
The face of beauty was awesome! The owner Chantel is the best. She not only did an amazing job but she was also sweet and so helpful. You don’t just get the day of services you get her consultations and beauty advice. So worth it!
Chantel was AMAZING to work with! She brought along Rachel to our wedding in Temecula & I could not have asked for better results! My hair and airbrush make-up lasted all day and night, not to mention Chantel was true to her word and my make-up really did look so natural. Her talent, class, and kindness helped make the day incredible for me and my girls. They were so sweet and did my husband's grandma's hair & she was so happy to look so beautiful - it was a memorable experience. She kept me stress-free the morning of and was a breeze to work with beforehand, always emailing me back quickly which made wedding planning so much easier. You will not regret having her as a part of your big day!
Chantel and Rachel were amazing! They did hair and make up for myself and my bridal party and everyone was in love with their looks. Not only that, she is so easy to talk to and everyone enjoyed chit chatting about the latest celebrity gossip and how glowy/dewy we wanted to look. Thank you so much for making us look so beautiful!
Chantal is THE BEST! She is super talented, her prices are competitive, and her enthusiasm is contagious. I love that she made me look like the best version of myself. I had a hard time finding an artist that specialized in natural makeup -- most seemed to say they did but their photos showed otherwise. Several people complimented how naturally stunning my makeup was after the wedding.
Not only is Face of Beauty great at makeup, but they also gave our group the most stunning hairdos. Chantal did my hair exactly how I wanted and it looked amazing in photos. Her work is stunning and I have already sent her to all the brides I know booking their beauty for 2019! Thank you Chantal and team for making me feel extra special on our big day!
Chantel and her team did a fantastic job with me and my bridal party!! She went above and beyond to really take care of me and my girls as well as squeezing in last minute hair and makeup for the moms. She really listened and was receptive to feedback after our initial hair and makeup trial, but really hit it out of the park on the day of!!! My hair was intact all day and all night and my face didn't feel like it was caked on with makeup. She gave great pre-wedding hair treatment advice that I still do today (coconut oil really works!!). I can't recommend her and her team enough!
Chantel and her team were the first crew on set for my wedding day. They were on time and flexible with my timeline since my bridal party was not so prompt. They really set the mood for the rest of the day-friendly, explained everything they were doing and gave my stepdaughter and the younger girls and even the moms some tips and tricks for doing makeup and hair at home. Luckily we were able to do hair and makeup outside in natural lighting and think that really made a huge difference in how I saw myself versus when I did the trial indoors. By far a wonderful experience with knowledgeable and fun team that helped make my day perfect!
FLAWLESS, FUN and FABULOUS! Chantal did an amazing job catering to my every need as well as my Bridal Party. Although I had to squeeze in my trail a bit closer to the wedding than perhaps we both would have liked, she was beyond accommodating. In addition, she provided me with a stellar beauty regime that helped me feel and look AMAZING. Her and her team were timely and great to work with. HIGHLY recommend!! THANK YOU again!!
I would highly recommend The Face of Beauty to any bride! Chantel was so helpful from start to finish. She listened to me about what I wanted and nailed it in the trial and on the day of. All of my bridesmaids were so impressed with Chantel and her team that they are planning on using her in the future for their own weddings. On your day they make you feel like you’ve been friends for years, and they make you feel so comfortable in the chair! (: Thank you for making my day a dream come true!
Chantel and her team were amazing to work with. From start to finish Chantel was easy to communicate with and she was so genuine along with her team. They really cared about making you feel beautiful on your special day and they did just that for me! I looked flawless and so did my bridesmaids. I couldn’t have picked a better company to work with! Thank you to The Face Of Beauty!
Chantel was incredibly responsive in scheduling or answering any questions I had in the process. She and her team were fun and did a great job with the whole wedding party hair and makeup. Would definitely recommend! They also don't nickel and dime you and include airbrush/eyelashes with makeup
Could not have been happier with my selection of The Face of Beauty for our wedding day hair and makeup. Not only did they make EVERYONE look beautiful, all of the FoB staff were sweet, kind and overall a positive addition to our pre-wedding getting ready routine.
Specifically Chantel - she did an AMAZING job, and was also had such a calm and positive attitude that was so unexpectedly fabulous on the actual day.
Personally, I have experienced hair and makeup professionals at friends' weddings who were a bit high-strung and honestly not very nice. That is NOT what you will get with The Face of Beauty. They are all wonderfully talented, and lovely people that make your day even better. Highly recommend!!
I loooooooved working with The Face of Beauty. Chantel was very responsive to all of my emails and questions especially because I was concerned with having my hair and make up done since I wanted a very natural look. Celia was my hair and make up artist and did such a wonderful job because I looked prettyyyyy damn good. Highly recommend!
Chantal is amazing! My fiancé (now husband) and I live in Hawaii and were planning a surprise wedding in Newport Beach. She was so responsive to all of my emails and was able to accommodate all of the requests. She had a wedding earlier in the day but she made it back to the studio in time to help assist the other MUA. Super professional and would highly recommend!!
Chantel and her team were absolutely wonderful to work with for both my trial and hair / makeup day of services! They were extremely responsive, flexible, friendly, and professional with an eye for making me look my best and achieving my wedding vision. Chantel gave me helpful tips of how to prepare months in advance and followed through with me each step of the way. My stylist Christina was extremely talented and nicely incorporated my feedback from the trial. I rarely give a raving review but this is deserved as my entire bridal party were pleased with their work.
AMAZING! Chantel and Celia did my and my bridal party's hair for my wedding and wow. I am part Asian so I have extremely silky and straight hair. I had three hair trials before I went to Chantel. They did not know how to get my hair to work and stay in an updo, then I go to visit Chantel and boom. She knew exactly what to do and got my exact vision. My girls loved their hair, too. How often do you hear bridesmaids saying they felt beautiful in a bridal party? My girls felt amazing and so comfortable with Chantel and Celia. My mother, who is a very picky and opinionated latin woman, LOVED her hair, too. I can't say enough great things about them.
Chantel did my makeup for my wedding day as well as makeup and hair for my bridesmaids. I absolutely loved how it all turned out! She is great at knowing how to make you look flawless but still natural. She is very easy-going and made all of us feel comfortable on the big day. She even got all of us done ahead of schedule which is really nice when you're working on such a tight schedule. My makeup trial was very helpful because I could tell her what I liked and what I didn't like and she was very accommodating to make changes in order to help make me feel like I looked like ME. She even emailed me photos and notes about what we talked about so we would remember exactly what we talked about. And let me tell you, my makeup turned out exactly how I wanted on the wedding day! Thank you so much Chantel! Your professionalism and talent helped make my day perfect!
Chantel and her team went above and beyond on my big day! The day before I contacted the Face of Beauty, my fiancé and I had to make the tough decision to cancel our big white wedding due to an unexpected diagnosis and hospitalization. We decided to elope and Chantel was beyond accommodating for our last minute nuptials. We didn't know if the docs would release me from the hospital for a few hours until the day we got married. Chantel put my nerves at ease that a last minute venue change was not a problem at all. Her hair/makeup artist, Celia, is hands down the most talented hair/makeup person I've ever worked with! I wanted to look very natural, but also wanted the pictures to turn out well. She absolutely nailed it and I will now only use the Face of Beauty's hair/makeup artists for my special events. In addition to the talented employees, Chantel was incredibly responsive, compassionate and professional. I can't thank her enough for making my day so special.
Chantel and her team are FANTASTIC! I met her at a friends' wedding and hired her for my own wedding this October. She is prompt and so easy to work with. I don't usually wear a lot of makeup and she worked with me to find the perfect look for my wedding day...and I absolutely loved it! It was natural and simply everything I was looking for on my wedding day.
On my wedding day, she and Megan were on time and efficient. They made sure that myself, my mom and bridesmaids were all ready on time and they all looked absolutely stunning! They were all so pleased with the outcome, as well as all the makeup tips she gave them! I could not have hired a better makeup artist for my wedding day!
Wow where to start... Chantel was the best! First of all, she is adorable and sweet and makes you feel very comfortable. Definitely do not hesitate if you are thinking of using her for your wedding!
I was the bride and she did wonders with my hair and makeup. The air brushing and lashes were amazing! Her whole team was very professional and made the entire bridal party look absolutely beautiful. The are really flexible with travel and timing and trials, etc. Everyone of the bridesmaids loved how their hair and makeup turned out. They will do exactly what you ask for or if you don't know they will help you come up with ideas that look great.
Everyone at the wedding kept commenting how great the hair and makeup team was.
Thanks Chantel!
These girls are absolutely amazing at what they do! I was a bridesmaid for my friends wedding and the girls did such an amazing job with hair and makeup for the bride and bridesmaids. Everyone looked absolutely beautiful especially the bride. If you want to shine and look your best on your special day than you have come to the right place. This team will go above and beyond to make you look and feel your best for your big day. Thank you girls for all of your hard work, I will definitely be using you in the future.
Meghan did my and my wife's makeup for our wedding day, and we were both so happy with the way it turned out. She was super flexible when it came to making sure we both got the look we wanted, and was happy to make sure our specific needs were met. Meghan is a very talented makeup artist as well as an enjoyable person to be around!
Chantel and her team are beyond amazing! I love the positive energy and how accommodating they are. The owner Chantel is not only an amazing artist but has a heart of gold and truly cares about her clientele! I LOVE the way my bridesmaids and I's hair tuned out!
Chantel is amazing! She did my and my bridal party's hair and makeup for my wedding and we all were so in love with how everything turned out. My girls and I normally go for a more natural look and Chantel did an amazing job making us feel comfortable with ans excited about our wedding-day looks. She is also the sweetest person to work with. We had so much fun getting ready with her!
Chantel and I have been in communication concerning my look for the wedding celebration and she had been very responsive and encouraging from the very beginning. I really appreciated her feedback and assurances for my selections and thoughts concerning hair and make up. The days leading up to the wedding she continually followed up with hair and face preparations. Very attentive and personal, chantel made the whole process very pleasant. The day of she arrived in a timely manner and set up and made no assumptions but asked questions along the way and clarified the steps she would be taking so there were no surprises. She ensured I was comfortable with the hair and make up all along the way. The final look was exactly what I asked for. I had sent her pictures with the general feel I wanted and she hit it spot on. I am so thankful chantel was part of the day! She made it so enjoyable and stress free. Thank you!!!
Chantel did a great job easing me into hair and makeup prep for my daughters wedding. I don't normally wear much make up or do anything with my hair so I was a little nervous. However chantel addressed my discomforts and adjusted to my requests. The results turned out great and was the natural look I wanted.
Chantel and her team were amazing! The worked with me and my large bridal Party to achieve the perfect look for my wedding. She also gave me great tips for my hair and skin leading up to the wedding that helped me look my best. I am so grateful I found her when I did. Thank you so so much Chantel for making my day so beautiful!
Chantel did my hair and lashes for my elopement, and she did the most wonderful job. I would highly recommend her to anyone. She provided me with great advice leading up to the day, she was super helpful, and she did an absolutely beautiful job. I was impressed with how quickly she did my hair, and it lasted all evening long. Absolutely wonderful service!
I just want to say thank you chantel for doing such an amazing job on the day of my wedding. My makeup was flawless it lasted all night, I got so many compliments. I highly recommend The Face Of Beauty. Chantel was so nice very calm and easy to work with. Thank you again.
Chantel and her group of amazing ladies made myself and my bridesmaids look absolutely amazing. They were incredibly professional and warm, which made the process of getting ready less anxiety riddled. (We also played Disney music on Pandora since the wedding was at Disney.) They took their time making us beautiful, but we were still ready in plenty time, and they worked on about nine of us! The pricing was fair and we all had a blast getting ready together. Thank you so much!
Chantel was amazing to work with! She is extremely attentive both via email and in person. She treats you more as a friend than a client, but still maintains a high level of professionalism. I was so happy with my bridal hair and make-up, as were my bridesmaids and mother. I can stress enough how great she was. Please hire Chantel and her Face of Beauty team, you won't regret it!
I hired Chantel to do my hair and makeup for my wedding last week 3-11-17. I would use them again they did great!! She also had two other ladies come to do my brides maids and mothers for the wedding. She did a great job. She really understand what look I was trying to achieve. I was worried about my hair going flat and my curls not holding for the picture and the wedding. They did drop and I was disappointed in that. Also before the ceremony even began I noticed everyone's curls dropping. However my makeup looked amazing and Chantel was so great at communicating with me before the wedding. She gave me some great pointers on how to prep my skin and hair before the big day. I highly recommend them for your big day.
dxdropping to fast and
I hired Chantel for my wedding last month, she did H/M for 2 of my girls and hair for my mom. She did an amazing job!
She is fun to be around and definitely knows her stuff! She also gave wonderful beauty tips to follow before my wedding day which helped tremendously!!!
Thank you Chantel!!!!
I found the Face of Beauty on the knot,and I'm so glad I booked with them! My wedding was 11/5,and it was a few months before the wedding before I contacted Chantel. Luckily she was still available on my wedding day and she responded quickly to emails if I had any questions. Chantel was very accommodating,and I had a great experience with her during my hair trial and the day of my wedding. I loved my hair and so did my bridesmaids-not to mention our hair stayed put all day! Also,thank you to Julie for helping Chantel the day of my wedding and doing some of my bridesmaids hair as well as my mom's. I would definitely recommend face of beauty! Thank you again Chantel!!
I was lucky enough to have Chantel and Megan provide their services to make myself, my bridesmaids, and my mother in law look beautiful for the day! This team is really warm & welcoming; you can tell that they care a lot about the work they do and the people they work with. To top it all off, I knew that Chantel was amaaaazing after the initial trial--my makeup looked flawless & my hair stayed curled/wavy/styled for 3 (!!!) days afterwards. Couldn't recommend this team enough! :)
I hired Chantel for my wedding last month and I'm so happy with how my hair and make up looked! Not only is she the sweetest thing ever, but Chantel and her team were so much fun. I had a large bridal party (8 bridesmaids) and they got through all of us in such a timely manner without feeling rushed and everyone looked amazing.
I live outside of Orange County and was unable to do a trial, but Chantel kept in constant contact with me and answered all of my questions and gave suggestions which I was very grateful for. I decided on a half up half down look even though I was worried it wouldn't hold, but Chantel assured me she would make sure it lasted through the night and she was right! It held beautifully.
The airbrush make up was amazing and I have never felt so pretty!
If you're looking for the best, most affordable and professional on site hair and make up company for your big day, The Face of Beauty is definitely the way to go!
Thank you so much Chantel!!
I have nothing but wonderful things to say about Chantel and the Face of Beauty. Chantel and another young lady (sorry, I forgot her name) did the make up and hair for my wedding . They did a wonderful job. I met Chantel at a Bridal show in Orange County and contacted her through Facebook and e-mail. She responded to all of my e-mails very fast and was very friendly and helpful. My trial went great! It was very easy booking an appointment for the trial and she came to my home to do it. I was afraid that I wouldn't look like myself and natural because I don't usually wear any make up. Not only did Chantel make me look beautiful and natural but she highlighted my features without making me look like a different person. She made me feel comfortable and relaxed. She was very easy to talk to and gave me helpful tips and explained everything that she was doing. The whole process from start to finish was outstanding. My wedding day make up and hair turned out great. I would highly recommend Chantel and The Face of Beauty for all of your make up and hair needs. She's the best!
