I cannot recommend Kelly enough! Not only is she a phenomenal makeup artist, but she is also simply an amazing person to work with. I went to see Kelly in March for my bridal makeup trial, and she diagnosed some issues I was having with my skin. After that, I started up a skin care routine using Kelly’s products and…

I got my hair and makeup done as a bridesmaid in the wedding. Kelly did my makeup and Autumn did my hair. Both turned out great and everyone in the party (most importantly the bride!) looked amazing. They were friendly and efficient. Would recommend for those looking!

Kelly's team did hair and makeup for me and my bridal party on my wedding day. James (hair) and Jayne (makeup) were fantastic! Everyone was thrilled with how they looked, everything ran on time, and James even helped my mom carry ceremoy decor out to the car. I highly recommend them for anyone on their wedding day.
