Thank you so much for helping me & my bridal party on such a special day! Everything was absolutely perfect ❤️
My husband and wedding party had an incredible experience with Katie and team. They took the time to understand everyone’s needs and focus areas. Their quality of work is exceptional. They were an absolute joy to partner with. Thank you KW Glam for helping make our day memorable!
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…
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,…
I can’t suggest KW enough! Everyone from KW did an amazing job for myself/my bridesmaids on our wedding day. Everyone was so pleased with how their hair/makeup turned out!
Great working with Ashley and her team. Ashley was so kind, understanding, and really listened to what I was looking for! I appreciate her kindness to my bridal party as well, and the team made us all feel so beautiful! So happy I booked with KW Glam for my wedding day!!
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…
Katie was absolutely wonderful to work with and such a talented hair artist! I recently collaborated with her on a styled shoot, and she created a look that was beautiful, polished, and perfectly complemented the overall vision. Her attention to detail and ability to create a style that photographed so effortlessly…
Mikayla was absolutely fantastic and the whole salon was lovely! I got a haircut and style; the whole process was wonderful and Mikayla was so easy to talk to. We fully talked through what I wanted and she executed it perfectly. Definitely recommend!
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 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!
Victoria took such great care of me while installing my new k-tips, and I absolutely love them! I feel like a whole new person! Her technique is flawless, and she always has the perfect recommendations, while honoring your look. I absolutely recommend Victoria, and her K-tips. I just can’t believe how natural and…
Gina was literally perfect in every way. She was timely, professional, kind, and excellent at what she does. I was nervous at first in being paired with just one stylist, as we had a pretty big group that wanted their hair done, but she was up to the task and kept wedding day moving perfectly on time. I was also…
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 did my hair for my wedding day, along with my bridal party and Mom. From the moment I initially reached out through my wedding day, Katie was such a pleasure to work with. Her communication, professionalism and positive attitude made for a seamless wedding day. Katie completed a trial of my hair a few weeks…
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 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 &…
We hired Katie for our bridal party hair and it was the BEST decision. Not only is she amazing at what she does, but she is kind, professional, and was extremely communicative throughout the entire wedding planning process. She was able to bring everyone of my bridal party's hair inspo pictures to life. I could not recommend Katie Walsh Glam more!!
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!…
Words can not begin to describe how amazing Katie was for my wedding! Katie flew to St. John USVI for my destination wedding in April 2022 and did my hair and makeup for my welcome party along with my wedding! From the moment she entered the villa I knew I was in amazing hands and she immediately put me at ease as I…
Katie is amazing! I live in Hawaii and had my wedding near family in New Hampshire, so I had to find someone I trusted from afar. Katie made time for me to do a hair and make up trial a few days before the wedding, which she was able to style slightly different for my bridal shower that same day! The day of the…
Katie and her entire team were absolutely AMAZING leading up to, and on the actual day of my wedding . My bridal party and I had Joanna K. for glam/makeup, and Ashley S. for hair. These girls not only accommodated my 11 person bridesmaid party effortlessly, but each of us truly looked flawless. 10/10 would recommend…
Katie was an absolute blast to work with! We chose to elope for our wedding so it was a little nerve racking not being able to have a trial makeup run due to time/distance, but as soon as I met Katie I knew she was going to make me look & feel beautiful! My makeup lasted ALL DAY! & my hair was still curled the next…
Katie made my wedding day absolutely perfect! I had a trial with Katie a couple weeks before and I showed her what I was looking for and Katie hit it right on the nail! When Katie showed me my trial look in the mirror I actually cried, Katie made me look beautiful! I am so happy I found Katie and can’t wait to get…
Katie was amazing styling my daughter's hair and makeup for her wedding! Katie and Amber were professional, cheerful and extremely talented in doing hair and makeup for the bride, bridesmaids , MOG and MOB. They listened to our requests and were very responsive. My daughter envisioned a Boho wedding vibe and…
ALL I CAN SAY IS WOW!!! Katie did my hair for my wedding and did EXACTLY what i wanted! She made me feel like the most beautiful bride in the entire world. First of all, I had 4 sets of extensions in my hair and she encouraged me instead of making me feel silly for wanting ALL THE VOLUME! She arrived ahead of…
Katie is amazing! Katie is an absolute perfectionist when it comes to your hair and makeup, and at the same time has a completely genuine and down to earth presence that makes you feel instantly comfortable. I had a blast at my makeup trial with Katie and on the wedding day my entire bridal party was sad when she…
