Hello, Im Kayla! I’ve been a licensed cosmetologist and professional MUA since 2018. I pride myself in being a versatile artist- I love doing any style of makeup from natural to bold dramatic glam. It’s most important to me that my clients leave feeling happy and confident afterwards. I’m local to the Seattle area but will travel anywhere in the PNW.

This is a long delayed review, but Kayla did an amazing job with my hair and makeup the day of my wedding! She also did a great job with the requests that my bridesmaids had. Kayla was very flexible with planning my hair/makeup trial. Overall, she did a wonderful job and I really appreciated her flexibility, responsiveness, and her skill!

Kayla was very punctual for my hair and makeup trial and listened carefully to ensure she knew exactly what style I was looking for. On the morning of our wedding she arrived right on schedule and did a wonderful job on the hairstyle for our flower girl and hair and makeup for our 2 bridesmaids and myself. She was a pleasure to work with and we will definitely contact her again when looking for a stylist or makeup artist.

Was not only able to accommodate to doing me on my wedding day, but one of my bridesmaids as well. Was able to match my skin tone very well which was my biggest concern and adapt to some changes i requested day of. Super professional and friendly and a great choice for makeup and hair for my special day. No regrets :)

Kayla made my hair and make up look amazing for my wedding day. She listened to what I wanted and gave me exactly that. I will be hiring her again if I ever need hair and make up done for an event!
