I love getting to know everything about your wedding - and not just the dress details, either! I become invested in your wedding as much as a friend and want to know everything about your big day; from the type of centerpieces you chose to the photography style and overall aesthetic. After all, I'll be spending a lot of time with you on the biggest day of your life and I want you to feel completely relaxed and at ease!

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 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

April's work is as beautiful as she is herself on both the outside and in! I recently worked with her on a bridal session and absolutely loved the hairstyle and make-up she did for our bride. It was very clear that she was putting immense thought and attention into her work, and the end results showed it! I would highly recommend April to anyone looking for an excellent hair and makeup artist.

April Foster and her glam team are wonderful! I never imagined I could be so pampered on my wedding day: I felt truly special! I was very pleased with April's skills and artistry. She knew exactly what I wanted, even when I wasn't sure. She was very flexible and understanding when I changed my mind about my hairstyle. She is very professional and knew exactly how to time each service. My sister, mother-in-law, and daughter all looked stunning for the wedding! And I was very happy with how I looked too:)
