April came highly recommended by a family member/ fellow makeup industry pro. As a very last minute bride, I didn't reach out until a week or two before my wedding date. Foolish, I know. Doing my best to stick to our budget and plan a wedding in 3 months, I thought I would handle the hair/makeup on my own and honestly didn't make it a priority due to the time crunch and being completely overwhelmed. My advise - don't do as I did!! :) I'm SO thankful I was lucky enough to get on April's schedule. Despite not being able to do a trial run due to the tight time frame, April absolutely nailed it day

I have to give 5 stars to April Foster and her team of beauty queens!!! She made me feel like the most amazing version of myself on my wedding day, everybody kept telling me how gorgeous I looked. I was beyond relaxed while getting ready, she faced me toward the beautiful view out the window in my bridal suite to help me get in the groove and feel as chill as possible. My bridesmaids were thrilled with her hair and makeup team. I must recommend having her stay with you throughout the day to style you for your photography session. She was so supportive and brought her master beauty kit with her

April is an absolute gem of a person and so talented at her craft! She did my wedding makeup and hair and it was perfect. She not only does she have a lovely demeanor but is incredibly attentive and flexible to the needs and wants of her clients. I highly recommend her for bridal hair/ makeup!

April Foster is delightful to work with and was extremely professional from start to finish. She asked me a lot of questions in the beginning and I felt that she was intuitively aligned to the look I was requesting. I had wanted a romantic, soft, natural look for my wedding day - both hair and makeup. She delivered that perfectly! I felt polished and lovely and I cannot thank her enough. She started my hair and makeup at 5AM and I had a full day of pictures, celebrating, and zipping all over the city in high heat. My makeup held up and I still looked ravishing into the late hours of the night.

I got married on 9/8/12 and April did my make-up as well as my bridesmaids. She's amazing!! April showed up early and was very neat and organized. Her kit was nice and clean. I felt like a princess the moment I sat in her chair. I'm not very experienced with make-up and am shy of bold looks so we decided to go for a soft natural look. I looked at myself in the mirror and thought "damn I look pretty!!" She made me look naturally beautiful and my make-up lasted all night even though it was hot. This was one of my best wedding decisions. Thank you April!!

April is amazing. She did my hair and makeup for my wedding day and made me, and my whole crew (mom, maid of honor etc.) feel beautiful, cared for and relaxed. She went above and beyond to help get extra hands for the day, and her talent to make you look exactly the way you envision (and more!) but also feel comfortable in the process go a long way. I highly recommend her services for anything where you want to glam up!

I hired April for hair & makeup for my September 2017 wedding. She did a great job creating a natural look for me and my small bridal party! April is a very calming presence and definitely listens to her clients. After not feeling 100% confident with my look after my trial (which I've heard is SUPER common with brides-to-be), April helped me be confident that we would find the right style on the wedding day and take as much time as needed to get it right! I really wanted to feel like myself walking down the aisle and April respected my requests, while offering useful perspective and advice. Thanks
