Is it bad that I want to get married again, just so I can re-book Rachel and Kelsey? - They REALLY made my day extra special, and it felt like I was hanging with gal pal's I've known for years... Couldn't recommend them enough!!!
Any questions?
I had the pleasure of working with Rachel and Kelsey this summer for my wedding, and I cannot recommend them enough! Admittedly, I was a bit hesitant at first about booking their Deluxe Bridal Package, but y'all I am here to tell you it was WO...
RTH EVERY PENNY. Kelsey didn't just do my makeup, she took her time prepping my skin with all kinds of treatments, and it seriously made my makeup look flawless. It was like getting a mini-facial - I have never felt so pampered!! Rachel didn't just do my hair, she listened to all of my concerns and really made sure she understood my vision before she started, and my hair was perfection. Seriously, do yourself a favor and book with them!! They were easy to work with and professional from the time of booking to my actual wedding day. You will not be disappointed!!
Rachel did hair (including extensions) and makeup for me and my small bridal party, and she 👏🏻is 👏🏻 AMAZING! 👏🏻 I wanted a soft, natural look while my sister wanted something with more drama, and Rachel worked her magic to make us both ha...
ppy. Perhaps even more importantly (for me), Rachel was a positive and grounding presence when I needed it on the big day. She’s genuinely an awesome human, which made the whole experience that much better. I can’t recommend her enough!!

ging out with friends. They were able to take my very vague ideas of what I wanted and make it happen better than I had in my head. Everyone else in my bridal party loved how their hair and makeup looked and loved working with these amazing women! I’d definitely recommend them to my friends, and I don’t do that lightly!
Thanks Rachel and Kelsey for making me feel so beautiful on my big day!

What can I say about the Allred Artistry experience. Professional, creative, caring, FUN and I honestly could go on and on. Rachel elevated my day tremendously. Their calm and positive demeanor was greatly appreciate amongst the angst of the da...
y. Also, they put up with me fidgeting constantly like a complete pro. Rachel's ability to collaborate through the process was so helpful. As someone who isn't very fashionable, her guiding eye was a gift beyond measure. The photos came out better than I ever could have imagined and it is thanks to Rachel. Allred artistry will always be my top of mind for any event that I'm having. Thanks again Rachel!
