Formal Faces

Heidi did my hair and makeup for my wedding and split the hair and makeup for six of my bridesmaids and my mom with a second stylist, Courtney. I can’t say enough how happy I was with the results, and the girls and my mom loved it just as much. I never thought we’d get so many compliments on it throughout the day from family and guests. Heidi and Courtney were so calm and careful with everything that morning. Courtney also helped out by giving some tips and assistance to my sister who was curling my flower girl’s hair, which was so nice and unexpected. I had a great experience with the practice session at Heidi’s home a month before the wedding; I showed Heidi a few photos of what I liked and she spent careful time getting my hair and makeup just how I wanted it, asking for my input and feedback along the way. The communication with Jennifer and Heidi to book the services and schedule the practice session was prompt and friendly — overall, I had a more seamless experience than I ever could have hoped for and definitely recommend Heidi, Courtney and the Formal Faces team for your wedding!

I used Formal Faces for my wedding on August 15^th, and I am so happy with the results. After months of stressing over whether to have an up-​do or loose curls for my wedding, Jennifer Adams put my worries at ease. I showed her specific images of the look I wanted, and she worked tirelessly to achieve it. Jennifer is so calm and is a fantastic listener. I would say I am a very particular person since makeup is a hobby of mine, and Jennifer listened carefully and executed every minor detail I requested. While working on my hair and makeup on wedding day, Jennifer supervised the other artists and attended to any issues that arose with my bridesmaids. She is even fantastic at hair and makeup for more mature women. My mother was so nervous about makeup setting into her wrinkles, but she looked flawless, fresh, and glowing, and I can barely see a single wrinkle in her photos! I was so nervous about trusting someone else with my hair and makeup on my wedding day, and I cannot express how happy I am with the results. My up-​do was loose and romantic and still make me feel very feminine, and the bridesmaids’ curls held all day. I love the way the hair and makeup looks in photographs, and she even gave us all lipsticks to keep for the wedding! Thank you so much for making me feel like a beautiful bride and making my bridesmaids look stunning!

I used Formal Faces for my April wedding in Atlanta and everything was perfect! Jennifer was great to work with and everything went smoothly. I knew when I met her at our trial that things would work out great! She knew exactly what I wanted without much explanation and was able to deliver! Ginger and Jennifer came to our hotel suite the morning of the wedding and did hair and makeup for my 5 bridesmaids, my mother, and myself. They were both fun, flexible and professional! We had a great time chatting with them while they helped us get ready. They kept a calm demeanor that really helped set the mood. I felt totally comfortable telling Jennifer when I wanted a little more blush here, or more curl in a certain part of my hair. She really put all the girls at ease! Highly recommend!

I can’t say enough positive things about Formal Faces and especially Jennifer and Natalie! They made sure that myself, my mother, and my bridesmaids looked amazing for my wedding and that we all felt great about how we looked. Not only are they talented, professional, and timely, but they are also a lot of fun to be around. Starting my day off with them was wonderful.

I just wanted to share how thankful I am to have worked with Heidi for our wedding day December 28, 2013. She was so calming and easy to work with. I have never felt so elegant and she delivered exactly what I wanted. My mom and my flower girl had their hair and make up done as well and looked so beautiful. Thank you guys so much for being so great to work with. I hope all brides feel as beautiful as I did for my big day.

I highly recommend Formal Faces for special occasion hair and makeup. Heidi was an absolute gem and made sure that my hair and makeup was exactly what I wanted. She was so sweet to me and the other ladies in my wedding party. Everyone loved her work and none of us felt the need to touch up things on our own after she left (which seems to always happen, especially after someone else does your makeup).
The practice session was really worth the money and time. It allowed Heidi to figure out all the things I liked and didn’t like and made for a very stress-​free wedding day. She was able to re-​create my look perfectly from the practice session pictures.
The hair and makeup lasted all night and they even give you a tube of lipstick to help with touch-​ups.

I hired formal faces for my small wedding (my two bride’s maids and I) and they did an awesome job. Heidi really listened to what I wanted and we all looked amazing.
My only gripe is that they do not accept payment over the internet.

I am reading all the comments below and WISH I could have at least experienced the services that Formal Faces provides, but they wouldn’t let me get that far!
I inquired about my wedding in October. After talking to several hair/​make-​up people I decided Formal Faces was the one for me and I was completely ready to give them my business (bride, 6 bridesmaids, flower girl, 2 moms) I just had a couple questions before making the commitment. I have sensitive skin and asked if they could apply my own personal make-​up. They never answered that question, but most make-​up professionals I talked to said that was fine.
I live out of town (TX) and asked if they could work with me on trial dates. I come to Atlanta often but sometimes it is last minute and usually on a weekend. I mentioned that fact but never said I HAD to have a trial on a weekend. I asked if they would be available on a certain Friday in May when I knew I would be in town. The response I got was «I don’t think we are a fit for you. This is not the way we do business. We can’t do trials on a weekend.» I though it was extremely rude to turn my business away without any question. I even gave a weekday for us to work around. If that didn’t work, they could have said something. But instead, they acted like they don’t care. Maybe they don’t. But I hope this review speaks for itself. If you are wondering if Formal Faces will «work with you» if you have an issue, the answer is NO!!! I gave 2 stars only because they responded to my emails.

I hired Formal Faces to do my bridal hair and makeup as well as the same for two bridesmaids and the mother-​of-​the bride. They did a wonderful job. I don’t wear a lot of makeup and they made me look very nice, but not overly done-​up. The same goes for the rest of the bridal party. Everyone looked their best, but not so made-​up that they looked fake.
It is not cheap to get your hair and make up done for your wedding (is anything cheap for a wedding?!) but it was definitely well woth the cost!

Julie and Heidi of Formal Faces are amazing!
Julie and Heidi travelled all the way to Clarkesville, GA for my wedding at Glen Ella. Finding someone to do your wedding hair and makeup can be hard, finding someone who will come to you on your wedding day is even harder. I am so thankful to have found them. They are reasonably priced and do gorgeous work. They were able to do hair and makeup for 3 bridesmaids, 2 mothers, and myself within a couple of hours. The best part of all is that they are really easy to get along with and allow you to relax on your wedding day.
Thanks Formal Faces!

Formal Faces was one of the best decisions I made when planning my wedding. Choosing a hair/​makeup company was no doubt the hardest decision I had to make. I couldn’t find a reasonably priced one within my budget so I just had to see what was out there, compare, and go with my gut feeling. In the end Formal Faces was the most professional company and had great reviews to back them up. I won’t say that it wasn’t expensive (it was) but I’ll say that it was worth every penny.
Julie was my stylist and she was so great to work with both during the trial and during the day of. The trial was amazing and the makeup and hair turned out exactly as I wanted it to. On the day of I had two stylists and they were both on time, set-​up quickly, and were so quick! I had heard so many horror stories about makeup/​hair taking forever and this was not the case! Everyone in my bridal party loved their hair (they all had up-​dos) and me and my moms loved the hair and makeup styles. My mom’s just had their short hair styled and they loved it as well. The only thing I wish I had known before was that while the makeup comes with a free lipstick, it does not include the lip gloss so be sure to have 10 dollars in cash if you want to buy the lip gloss they use or just bring your own. Something I really liked about Formal Faces is that you pay in advance so there’s not that awkward time when you’re collecting money from bridesmaids or handing over cash at the end of your hair-​do. You want to be enjoying your wedding day, not worrying about if you have enough cash! I also loved how they came to your hotel room — it was so fun getting ready with my bridesmaids and moms in the privacy of my hotel suite versus a hair salon.
We had a pool party after our wedding and I decided to not take off my makeup beforehand. After getting thrown in the water multiple times my mascara and eye makeup was still intact — amazing!

Formal Faces did a wonderful job with my wedding hair and makeup. My stylist, Shannon, was so sweet and she did so well with what ideas I had. I mainly chose them because they’re mobile, and the last thing I wanted to do on my wedding day was run around town between appointments. She came right to the hotel and we had a great time hanging out. The updo and makeup lasted all day and night — couldn’t have been happier.
