I would 110% recommend Kim for your future hair & makeup needs! This was my first time personally hiring a stylist and Kim provided a wonderful experience from our first interaction all the way to final touch-ups. She went over my reference photos to pin point what I liked and disliked. She provided a touch-up kit and answered all the questions I had. We finished my hair and makeup around 8:30am, and everything stayed perfect all day until I got home at 10pm. I was so happy to see that even after a full day of outdoor photos, walking around, and watching a softball game, my hair and makeup looked untouched. I typically get really cakey/oily whenever I put makeup on, but Kim did her magic and I felt airbrushed for 12+ hours. Can’t wait to hire her again for future events!!

LOVED KIM!! My sister & I came to NYC to see Whitney Leavitt on Broadway & just wanted to feel fancy for the night. We rarely wear any makeup other than mascara. Kim was awesome at helping us decide what we wanted as well as what looks good with our skin/undertones/eye color. Very professional & punctual. She has awesome time-management, we finished earlier than expected (even after getting full glam). And after we got our dresses on, she made sure to shade match/blend our skin showing based off our necklines. Our makeup stayed on the entire night with no issues & she even gave us a little custom touch-up kit !

Details: Special occasion • 18 - 25 years old • 26 - 44 years old • I'm flexible • False lashes • 2 people • My home, venue, etc.

Kim is amazing. We hired her based on her portfolio and she was amazing throughout. She provided us with an overview of her services and after speaking to a dozen make up artists we hired her after one phone call. She arrived early, set up quickly, really understood what my wife was looking for and did an AMAZING job getting my wife set up for her baby shower. Her make up and hair was perfect - would definitely hire Kim again!

Kim is a magician. Everyone in my party and me looked incredible. I can not recommend her enough. Her makeup is flawless. Everyone’s makeup lasted through the night after hours of dancing.
