We booked Lindsey and Caitlin for our wedding in October 2026. Both were absolutely phenomenal!

Love the facials. Great variety of products also! I was having a really bad rosacea break out and their red out facial and products were the chef’s kiss!

We booked Lindsey and Caitlin for our wedding in October 2026. Both were absolutely phenomenal! We had makeup for the bride, two bridesmaids and the moms, and hair for all previously mentioned plus the groom. During the entire process, they were very communicative. I never really do my makeup or hair anymore, so I was nervous I wouldn’t really look like “myself. However, during the bridal trial, both Lindsey and Caitlin were amazing listeners and told me exactly what they were doing to my hair and face. During both the trial and the wedding day, they were very open to adjust and pivot if someone didn’t like their makeup/hair. Everyone felt and looked beautiful! My husband was also able to feel special thanks to Caitlin adding some texture and waves to his hair, and he looked SO handsome! I highly recommend AboutFace for your wedding!

I have had the pleasure of being a customer of About Face for over 3 years and one of Jenn Hernandez's clients. There are no words to express how grateful I am to have this pleasure in my life and my face to be in her hands :). If you have not experienced About Face on Metairie Road. Treat yourself. You will forever be a client / customer

10/10 recommend the makeup lesson. If you want to learn how to do YOUR makeup instead of just following trends, take the class! 💕 I absolutely loved this makeup class! As I’ve gotten older, I’ve realized that I don’t want to just keep following makeup trends; I want to learn how to apply makeup in a way that actually works for my face, my features, and my age. I wanted to understand why certain things look the way they do on my face, how to work with my face shape, where products should be placed on my face, and how to enhance my features instead of trying to copy someone else’s makeup routine. This class taught me all of that and SO much more! The owner Lindsey was absolutely amazing—so knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely fun to be around. She made the whole experience comfortable and personalized, and I walked away with new makeup, new techniques, and a much better understanding of what works for me. Honestly, I got a makeup lesson, some new makeup, and gained a friend all in one session! ❤️ I can’t recommend her enough. If you’re tired of following trends and want to learn how to do makeup for YOUR face, take the class—you won’t regret it!

Ashley, thank you so much for trusting me with your beauty needs. It was such a pleasure meeting. I’m just a hop, skip and a jump away for anything you need! Makeup, skincare, or just an ear! Stop by anytime. I’d love to catch up!💗
