How to put into words how happy my daughter and I were when Katie Walsh did our makeup & hair for her wedding….well ..I can’t ..no words will show how beautiful we looked. Seriously I am 65 and Katie worked hard lol. If you want assurance that you’ll get the most glam while looking natural hurry and call her to…
The KW Glam team did hair and makeup for my wedding and they did a FANTASTIC job! Katie was great about communicating with me about the wedding day, creating a schedule of services for myself, my mom, my MIL, and 8 bridesmaids. She was so patient and receptive to making changes in the schedule. I had a hair and…
I don't typically write reviews but Ashley deserves one. She is SO talented. She made me feel so beautiful and so confident on my wedding day. She had such a calming presence and exactly the type of person you want to have around on your wedding day.
Heather and Emily from Katie Walsh Glam did hair and makeup for the “groomsmaids” in our wedding. Our wedding party felt beautiful and taken care of. Heather and Emily were also a very easy going and great to work with. Would 10/10 recommend KW Glam for anyone who is looking for beauty services on their wedding day.
Ashley from KW Glam did my hair and makeup for my wedding day in August at Pepperrell Cove and I cannot recommend her enough. From the moment she arrived, she brought the most chill, easygoing energy, exactly what you want in a room full of nervous, excited bridesmaids. When my girls came in with last-minute,…
Katie Wash and her glam team came through for us in a pinch. With 16 people needing hair and makeup for our wedding (double the brides, double the bridesmaids!), we were in such good hands with this team. The stylists were so professional, nice, and seem like genuinely good, cool people. Not only were KW and her…
Had such a blast with Katie! She fit right in with my bridesmaids and added great things to our morning vibe getting ready! And we looked fabulous too!
Katie Walsh Glam was amazing! She made my day perfect from the start. She was on time and kept us on schedule for my big day. My hair and make up came out exactly like the photos I shared as well as my mother, sister and niece. We were all so happy with the service and felt so beautiful!
The girls and katie were amazing!!! I’ve never felt so beautiful in my life! My bridesmaids all looked stunning! Recommend them x938383!!!! I wish I could relive this day!
I loved how my overall look came out. Somehow Chloi knew what I was looking for even better than I did, and she DELIVERED. Even with a fun surprise wedding morning zit she was so calm and reassuring that it would be unnoticeable (and it was). My entire party loved both Chloi and Emily. Everyone was thrilled with our…
The entire team was absolutely wonderful on my wedding day. They were calm, organized, and made everything run seamlessly. They showed up right on time, and brought a fun and inviting presence to the room. We even finished ahead of schedule, which gave us extra time to relax before photos. Ashley did my bridal hair…
I had the pleasure of working with Karyssa for my wedding and from the trial to the actual wedding day, she was so kind, creative and really listened to everyone's requests for what they wanted. She made us all feel so beautiful on such a special day. I hope I have the opportunity to work with her and your team again!
Can’t say enough good things about the KW team. From making tweaks when the girls changed their minds, to touch ups, to actual hair cuts, to the absolute kindness/gentleness/flexibility working with my Nana (and her wet hair) I never felt a moment of stress and my girls have never looked better! I also highly…
Literally the glam team of my dreams! The timing and the schedule they made, the work, and the overall hair/makeup was perfection! I have never felt more beautiful thanks to them!
Katie and her team did the most amazing job on my wedding day. Each member of my bridal party, along with my mom and mother of the groom looked amazing. Her team was very professional, on time and overall super great to work with - I ended up switching my hair from my trial and Katie did an amazing job changing…
I would highly recommend KW Glam for your big day! I went with the Glamorous Bride package which included a trial run, day of hair/makeup and false eyelashes. The trial run was a must! During my trial run, we were able to work out some kinks with my makeup look (I'm really picky about my eyebrows) and make sure we…
I can't recommend Katie enough for wedding hair and makeup! I was super nervous when it came to booking makeup for my wedding, because I don't normally wear a ton of makeup, but after checking out her Instagram and chatting with her, I knew she was the one! At my trial she got to know me, listened to what I wanted,…
Can I leave 50 stars? Katie is THE ONLY choice for hair and makeup for your wedding day. Katie did my hair and makeup for my cousin’s wedding in 2020 where she gave me the best hair and makeup I’ve ever had done in my life, and sitting in that chair I decided that when my time came, she was my first and only choice.…
BOOK HER NOW!! If you are looking for wedding hair & makeup, do not hesitate! I cannot tell you how blown away I was by the entire experience, from trial to day of with Katie & team (Emily & Chloi). They made my experience so special and were a seamless addition to my bridal party. I can’t tell you how many people…
Katie was the absolute best! She has amazing vision but also listens to what you want. My maid of honor and I have had our makeup done many times in the past, and Katie blew us away. I have curly hair and I was worried whoever did my hair wouldn’t exactly know what to do with it. Katie gave me the most stunning low…
Katie did my hair and makeup for my wedding along with her team who did an outstanding job with my bridal party. Katie was so responsive and completely saw my vision from the beginning. She took my inspiration photos and made them 1000x better. Katie is not only extremely professional but also makes you feel so…
Katie and Ashley did a phenomenal job on my wedding day! From the first time I met Katie at our trial it was an instant connection - like gabbing with an old friend. She is kind, down to earth and profoundly talented at what she does. Katie and her team were able to elevate EVERY person in my bridal party with…
I hired Katie's team for my wedding day after my trial at a different salon did not go well. It was very last minute and Katie was super responsive and quick to help! I had a successful trial with Ashley and my hair and makeup turned out even better than I had hoped on my actual wedding day. Ashley also did my MOH…
Katie Walsh and her team are amazing. Katie was very responsive throughout the whole process. The stylists who did our hair and makeup - Sasha and Jo - were so kind and professional. My wife and I got married on an island off the coast of Portland and they were able to accommodate the travel and everything went…
Katie went above & beyond to make myself & my loved ones look and feel beautiful on my wedding day. She stayed later than required to do final touches. She was able to read the room- she made me laugh and calmed my nerves throughout my services. If you’re looking for someone who makes you look and feel beautiful &…
I can't speak highly enough of my experience with Katie Walsh Glam! I booked Joanna from their makeup team for my wedding in October. She is an absolute rockstar and everyone was incredibly happy with their looks! From the makeup trial, to my wedding day, and everything in between - Joanna made me feel super…
I booked Katie + team for my wedding in August 2022. Katie was so organized and easy to communicate with to get everything scheduled - from the hair and makeup trial, to the timing on the big day. Sasha and Emily did our hair and makeup and were so fun to work with. They made my whole wedding party look stunning.…
Can’t recommend Katie and team enough!! She’s so professional and yet I felt like she was a personal friend. I don’t usually trust anyone with my makeup and it was so nice to feel completely comfortable letting go of that! All of my girls were so happy with their glam as well, and she and Emily got 9 of us done before 2 o’clock!! Seriously, run don’t walk!
Katie and Amber did an AMAZING job on my girls' hair and makeup for my wedding at the Thompson Inn on 9/10/22! My girls were so happy with how they looked! I can not thank Katie enough for her patience and making sure my hair and makeup was absolutely perfect!!! She wanted me to love my look and I absolutely did!…
