Kay was professional, punctual, responsive and very easy to work with. Not only did she do a great job on my daughter’s makeup but working with her was 100% stress-free. She arrived early and brought all of her own equipment including a chair and ring light and she even gave my daughter a personalized makeup touch up kit to use for the day. I will absolutely hire Kay to do our makeup again for our next special event.

Kayla is an absolute gem of a person, professional, and true artist when it comes to her work. She took the time to listen to my concerns and carefully considered my dry skin type to create a flawless look that felt both natural and glamorous on my wedding day and rehearsal. Her expertise, amazing personality, and precision made the entire experience enjoyable and stress-free. If you’re looking for someone who truly understands beauty and personalizes each look to enhance your features, she is the one! I was and am still obsessed with how my hair and make up came out. She is extremely punctual and very prompt in her communication. I will absolutely be booking with her again!! She also absolutely killed my mom’s make up and hair as well - giving her the complete mother of the bride look and treatment. My mom looked fabulous, and confident, especially for someone who rarely wears makeup.

Kayla is an absolute miracle worker! She recently did my hair for an upcoming event, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. She listened carefully to what I wanted, offered great suggestions, and executed it perfectly. My hair looked stunning—exactly what I envisioned and more! Not only is she incredibly talented, but she also made the entire experience so enjoyable with her warm and friendly personality. If you’re looking for someone who truly knows how to glam you up, Kayla is the one to go to. Highly recommend her services!

I’ve had the pleasure of getting my makeup and hair done by Kayla multiple times since I met her in 2021. She’s an expert in her craft both in her techniques and her professionalism. What I love most about getting a service from her is the way she puts all of her attention to me and the look I desire. It makes me feel heard and valued as a client. If you want a whole vibe, sweetheart, and talent- Kayla’s your girl. I can’t wait to book her again!
