Each one of them made sure each of us felt like ourselves and beautiful at the same time. Not only was their work beautiful, but it stayed throughout the all day/night even after lots of dancing! They made adjustments as each person was getting ready to make sure it was all perfect! Each of them made the morning getting ready smooth and enjoyable! I could not recommend this team enough for how they made my wedding day what it was!

Gaby and her team are an AMAZING group of professional makeup artists and hairstylists specializing in beautiful updos! They did the hair and makeup for me, my bridesmaids, and my family on my wedding day, and they were absolutely FANTASTIC! ❤️
They were incredibly detailed, took their time with each person, and made sure we were completely happy with the results before moving on to the next person. Everyone was so sweet, professional, and truly knew what they were doing. They made us all feel beautiful and special on such an important day!
Gaby is simply AMAZING!!! I honestly can’t express enough how wonderful she and her team are. They helped make my wedding day even more special, and I couldn’t have been happier with how everything turned out.
If you’re looking for hair and makeup artists who will make you look and feel your absolute BEST for any occasion, look no further! Gaby and her team are THE BEST in KC! Highly, highly recommend! 💄✨❤️

Jacqueline was the absolute best makeup artist!! She said she normally does soft glam, but all the bridesmaids wanted full glam and she went above and beyond!!! We were blown away and everyone was raving about her the entire day!! She’s extremely talented and I would highly recommend her! One of the bridesmaids was getting married a couple weeks later and loved her makeup by Jacqueline so much that she really wanted her for her wedding instead. That’s how good Jacqueline is!!

It was very difficult to book bride hair and makeup trials. Prior to booking this company, the company did not disclose how extremely limited the artist’s schedules were for trials. Also, the company just assigns artists without letting you see the various artists available and their previous work. Lastly, I had acne flare ups the week of the wedding. On the wedding day, my makeup artists told me she could not cover up acne texture which I was surprised by because of how costly the makeup service was. I feel like I could have done a better job covering up my acne if I were to do it myself (I did my own makeup for the rehearsal dinner the night before and covered the acne well). Overall, I wasn’t impressed with this company and felt I could have done my makeup better myself.

I worked with Madilyn (hair) and Liz (makeup). They were both amazing! They captured my vision perfectly! I even asked for tweaks to both looks after the trial on the day of my wedding and they both executed! They were so quick as well! Got all of my girls in and out, and kept us on schedule! Definitely helped set the vibes the morning of and got us excited!
