  • Katy did a FANTASTIC job making my wedding hair as well as the hair of all my bridesmaids gorgeous for my wedding! When I went to Katy for my bridal trial, I brought her several pictures of looks that I liked. It didn't take long for me to realize that Katy is a true professional and fully understood my vision for my wedding hair. On the day of the wedding, Katy arrived early at the location. I was running late, but she, ever so professionally, got started straight away doing one of my bridesmaid's hair! All of the girls LOVED their hair, and mine couldn't have been more perfect. Katy was sweet and fun and even gave me a little wedding day goody bag with some extras that I might need for the day. Highly highly recommend!!! - Batya

  • Katy was amazing to work with for my wedding. We met a year before for my bridal trial (since I live in NYC) and were in touch all year regarding wedding prep, and how to create the perfect look for my wedding. On the day of my wedding, Katy did my wedding makeup and hair, and for my whole wedding party and was flexible, attentive, and super friendly. I loved working with Katy and getting to know her over the year leading up to my wedding! Highly recommended. - Anna

  • Katy is really cool and professional. She did my wedding makeup and hair and I loved it! It was just as I wanted. After crying A LOT, under the sun with 32 degrees and dancing the whole day, my make up didn't move a bit, it ended just as it started... - Karen

  • Katy was my hair and make-up person for my wedding and she was amazing. I had an image of what I would look like on my wedding day and Katy made me look better than I had imagined! She is calm, fun, and she is a true professional who knows her business, knows her customers and has a great eye. Anyone who hires Katy will walk away feeling beautiful while still being themselves. I hope I have more happy occasions where we can work together again! - Susan

  • I wanted to thank you, Katy, for making my day so special. I found Katy randomly on Facebook after spending days researching wedding makeup and hair artists I would really like. I think my first sentence to her was: "I am looking for someone who would not make me look like a porn star. With heavy, over-exaggerated makeup." And we've clicked. I cannot stress enough how very important it is to have a person that is not only talented and professional but also someone you like, who understands you and is mega friendly and patient on your wedding day. From the moment we first met I knew I was in great and caring hands. And on the day of our wedding, Katy was with me and my girlfriends the whole time, doing our makeup and hair and giving her support and advice. I love her work but I also love her as a person and I would recommend her to absolutely everyone❣❣❣❣ Thanks a million! - Eva

  • Katy is not only a trained and talented wedding make-up artist and hairstylist, she's also very professional both in the presence and with her work. She listens to the client's vision and from there she creates her own masterpiece! Lastly, she's a great person and a good company to be with when prepping for any occasion. I'd hire her again and I highly recommend her. - Sarah
