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.

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.

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!
