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…

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 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.…

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!…
