the perfect extensions and made them look as if they were my natural hair. I can't recommend her enough.

now her and see how much passion she pours into her work. Thanks to Kat for helping make my day brilliant.

c. She was always quick to respond and very understanding. I cannot recommend enough, I’m more than thrilled!

s Kat!!

for a better hair and makeup artist for my big day.

d someone I felt comfortable with and who understood the soft natural glam look I wanted. And WOW did Kat knock it out of the park!!! She made me feel so comfortable and special during my trial, even encouraging me as I saw myself in different looks—after months of stress and planning, it was one of the first moments where I actually started to feel like a real bride. On my wedding day, her professionalism and skills shined with much attention to detail on my look. She also worked on my two bridesmaids and mom and all three looked effortlessly chic. I was especially happy to have some one-on-one time with Kat to connect more personally and also to fully enjoy the moment, because I had never felt so beautiful and pampered before! Her presence eased my nerves for the day and as I started to see the final look come together, it made me more excited to walk down the aisle. I was in awe of how confident I felt seeing myself in my final wedding gown and owe it to Kat for helping me look and feel stunning on such a significant day. The amount of compliments I received after the ceremony and reception further amplified the positive emotions I felt having hired Kat. If I had to do it over, I would choose Kat again and again!!

t tell I had been crying at all. Plus, Kat was so flexible. A few things had to change for COVID-related reasons, and Kat was super accommodating. I also loved Harlie, her assistant- fantastic job!

r looked amazing too! Such a great and easy process from getting in touch with her, planning dates and doing the trial to changing dates yet again.

nough impact for photos. Kat nailed it! Nicoletta did an awesome job with my vintage waves - nailed it! So happy with how it all went and my hair and makeup look perfect in the pictures!

KAT! I trusted her and reached out to Kat, and was happy to see how reasonable her prices were. From there, we booked the wedding with Kat and her team, and Kat was incredibly responsive and easy to work with. She also worked with me to do my trial the day before the wedding since we didn't have any other time! Kat and her team were wonderful the day of, they were organized and sweet, and we were happy to have them hanging out with us. My hair and makeup were done by Kat, and I was so happy with how it turned out. She was so knowledgeable about all the different products and really listened to what I was asking for. My mom was very nervous about someone new doing her hair, but Veronica with Kat's team was the BEST and my mom still talks about how amazing and patient she was. Overall, we were so happy with Kat and her whole team, and would recommend to any one!

kept seeing lots of polished curls and sleek updos everywhere I looked (which are beautiful! just not exactly what I envisioned for myself) and wasn't sure if I would be able to find someone who could make me look like a gorg, upgraded version of myself vs. just a generic beautiful bride.  As soon as I started working with Kat, all those fears totally melted away. At our trial and on the day of, she worked with me to create (and then execute) the perfect look. She was honest with me, pushing back gently when I was headed the wrong direction (for example, my initial inspiration photos were hyper glowy & highlighter-heavy and she explained that, without editorial lighting like all the models I was looking at were using, I would just end up photographing kinda greasy), but still honoring the spirit of what I wanted. I used Glamsquad for my rehearsal dinner the day before, and while those ladies did a great job, it was night and day between your average makeup/hair artist and the magic Kat worked. My makeup looked stunning, yet still totally like myself. And my HAIR you guys, my hair. It was this beautiful, boho look with beachy waves, braids and a fishtail - the type of thing you've seen and drooled over on the internet, but never in real-life.  I was beyond thrilled with how Kat made me look, but almost better was how she worked with my mom - my mom (in her mid-60s) almost never wears makeup, and has never had her makeup done professionally in her life. She looked unbelievable that day. Kat kept it a little lighter so my mom would be comfortable, but it still looked glam and beautiful. I think my mom spent more time talking about Kat that day than she did about me - and she was right to!  Not only did Kat make us all look amazing, but she was also an incredible presence. Personality-wise, she is a perfect blend of super easygoing yet still a total perfectionist. I am super high-strung, and I was unbelievably nervous the morning of the wedding. Kat could clearly sense it, and began telling stories and asking questions, and just picking up the mood and calming me down in general. Wayyyy outside of the job description, but absolutely set the tone for the rest of the day - by the time she was done, I was actually looking forward to getting up there and having everyone's eyes on me!  P.S. Kat does every wedding herself, and brings additional teammates as needed, so don't worry about going with Absolutely Beautiful based on the reviews for Kat and getting stuck with the b-team!

Her team was also totally chill, even when we found out the space we had for getting ready wasn't ideal and ended up having a late start as a result. She made sure no one left until they were feeling their best. Thank you!

ur wedding day. She was such a pleasure to work with. I am so glad I found her. She was kind, professional and did exactly what I wanted and I loved it!

done professionally before and was anxious about looking too overdone -- Kat is true to her word when she says she does makeup that helps you look like the absolute best and gorgeous version of yourself! And, when I wasn't quite sure what I wanted to do with my hair, she helped point me in the right direction and gave me a gorgeous style that complimented my makeup and dress. Plus, everything stayed put throughout the day (even after shedding some happy tears!) and really shined through in my photos. I'm so happy with how my look turned out and would book Kat again in a heartbeat.

natural. The airbrushed makeup and lashes were perfect and made my wedding photos look stunning!!! I hired Kat because she specializes in natural looking bridal makeup, this means she uses neutral tones and colors. Everyone who got their hair/makeup done looked like themselves and were not overdone. Kat set a schedule that did not start too early and we were finished on time. Absolutely Beautiful made everyone feel COVID safe as well :) I would 100% hire Kat and Absolutely Beautiful for any other event I need hair and makeup for!!!

make-up trial for my engagement photo shoot and was so pleased was the outcome. I of course hired her right away for my big day since I was having a hard time finding vendors I liked in the desert area. It was really important that both my wedding party and I didn't look over processed, and that is what Kat and team deliver. You really look like the best version of yourself with this team. Kat and team drove all the way out to Rancho Mirage (a 2 1/2 hour drive from LA) and arrived right on time. I had a big wedding party (13 people total getting hair and makeup done) and her team flawlessly powered through the timeline, without compromising the quality. Everyone loved how they looked! I can't recommend her enough!

(done waaaaay in advanced) and she was able to replicate and iterate on what we trialed for my wedding day. On the day of, Kat was a calming presence and really helped me prep and get excited about the rest of the day. Kat and her team were gracious, patient, and professional with everybody, and we were all really pleased with our hair and makeup. My hair and makeup held up throughout the whole event, even after some vigorous dancing/sweating/crying :)

wishes and gave them recommendations as well. Everyone's hair stayed perfect all night even after dancing so much. Kat was so thoughtful and even brought me a small make up kit for the rest of the night so I could do touch ups. Would highly recommend Kat and her team to all the future brides. Top service!

favorites and that I love to wear! She is professional, organized and genuine. Like a lot of brides, my wedding day was a loong and emotional day and I really needed a marathon look that lasted. My hair and makeup stayed flawless throughout the entire event! Kat was with me until the ceremony started and was super supportive and attentive adjusting my hair and touching up makeup for all the important photos. That was a big deal, because there are no do-overs on the wedding day. My photos came out stunning! She really got me and created the "look" I wanted. I immediately thought of Kat for hair and makeup 6 months later, when I was a bridesmaid in my friend's wedding. Amazing! My hair and makeup stayed flawlessly in place despite a heat wave and an outdoor wedding ceremony. That takes talent!!

tty uncertain, and managed to execute the best makeup outcome I have ever had. I had a lip gloss I didn't love for touch ups so she gifted me a mini makeup kit to be able to maintain a fresh look through the long day. I would recommend her and her team to everyone!

n better on the actual day. I'm also an Indian bride and she did an amazing job with all the accessories.

trial and at the wedding, she also made up my mom and my bestie as well! My mom has never had her makeup done professionally, and she loved it!!! Kat is also an incredible person and I enjoyed getting to know her through this process :) She is professional, incredibly versatile, and knows what looks good. I've never had my hair hold a curl for 2 days, she made that happen, and that's how you know your hair will stay in place for the whole wedding day. The makeup also stayed put, I have oily skin and that's always been a battle for me, but it all stayed in place! Save yourself the money from makeup trials that did not work out and go straight to Kat Laskey :)

w to describe it! She's so fun to talk to and willing to take any feedback you give her to make sure you are 100% happy with your look! She also did my hair during my trial, helping me out with clip in extensions for the first time and my hair turned out even better than I thought it was going to be! On the day of, she came with Nicoletta, another hair artist and they made my 5 bridesmaids and I look beautiful! Kat is so easy to work with and it really recommend her for any Bride!
