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.
