Beauty Alchemy

I love Kara and would 1000/10 recommend working with her. I felt so comfortable with Kara from the start of the trial and I genuinely enjoyed spending time with her. She was such a pleasure to work with. But most importantly, she did an amazing job on me, my mom, and my bridesmaids.

I truly cannot say enough amazing things about Kara and her team. Kara's warmth and openness made me feel so comfortable from the first time I met her and helped me feel nothing but excitement on my wedding day. She did an absolutely incredible job listening to what I wanted for hair and makeup and truly made me feel more beautiful than I've felt in my entire life. She and her team were so much fun and my entire bridal party loved working with them. I cannot recommend Kara enough!

Kara is an artist!!! She did myself and my entire bridal party including my mom yesterday and i was blown away by the amazing job she did on everyone. She was so funny and fit right in to our crazy crew so early in the morning and kept the vibes high the entire time. Not only did we all look amazing but we also cried like babies on and off all day and no one needed to touch up. No smudging or tear streaks. Completely obsessed and highly recommend!

Kara did my hair and makeup for my wedding this past September and she did such an incredible job. After our first phone call, we did a trial run a few months prior to the wedding. Even though I was already very confident in her work from seeing her work on social media, the trial really just solidified everything. She listened to what my vision on how I wanted to look for the wedding, weighed in professional opinions, and absolutely nailed everything at the trial. She gives great recommendations for skin care prep for the big day and gave great details for whatever is needed. she was so very helpful! We tweeked some minor things on the wedding day that we both mutually agreed on and the finished look was *chefs kiss*. I truly felt the most beautiful on that day and its all thanks to Kara and her amazing skills. I also had 9 bridesmaids (small number - I know). So Daniela, Kelly, and Laura were also part of the day to help out and they also did such an amazingly beautiful job!!!!!

From the start, I knew that hiring Kara was the best decision I ever made for my wedding. I am not the type of girl who wears a lot of make up, and I wanted something more soft and natural and in my comfort zone. Kara listened to me, gave advice, and made the whole process so much fun. My entire bridal party RAVED about how good their make up came out, and my make up lasted through hours of happy tears and dancing. I could not recommend her enough. She is so good at what she does! Hire Kara, you won't regret it!!

Kara is simply amazing! Not only is she an extremely talented makeup artist, but she has such a warm, inviting presence that brought such a beautiful energy to my wedding day. We had so much fun spending the morning with her, and she made all of us feel beautiful and empowered! She is a true expert and knows how to make sure you look and feel your best. Look no further if you're searching for a makeup artist in the area!

Kara was exceptional!! She helped me look my very best on my wedding day. I had a natural makeup look and a half-up hair style that was stunning. She made me feel comfortable on my wedding day, which was huge because I was nervous for the big day! Kara is so talented and can bring your vision to life, I highly recommend!

I absolutely loved working with Beauty Alchemy! Kara is extremely helpful, responsive and her work is flawless. She is also such a sweetheart making it so easy to work with her. I look forward to working with Kara and her team soon!

Amazing women to work with. The Wickham's Cure was a brilliant wedding favor. All my guests raved about it!

Kara absolutely nailed the look I wanted for both hair and make-up for my wedding. She is also a pleasure to work with, super easy-going and organized! Communication and booking process was easy and seamless. I HIGHLY recommend Kara to any bride-to-be out there!

I cannot say enough good things about Kara!!! I had the pleasure of experiencing her talent during the trial and she made me feel calm and relaxed throughout the whole process. Not only did she create a flawless look for me, but she also went above and beyond by giving me skin care tips to prepare for the big day (which now has become my holy grail skincare routine). On my wedding day, Kara truly made me feel like a queen, giving me that flawless look I’ve always dreamed of. Her expertise and attention to detail really shone through, making me feel absolutely stunning. I'm sure anyone who hires Kara will feel just as amazing as I did. 5 stars isn’t enough for Kara!

I cannot express enough gratitude for Kara Delfino, the owner of Beauty Alchemy, who turned what initially seemed like a wedding crisis into a true blessing. Four months before my big day, my original venue canceled on me, sending me into a frenzy to find an alternative. That's when I stumbled upon Kara's Instagram and reached out to her in a panic. To my surprise and relief, she responded promptly and offered incredibly fair pricing. From the very beginning, Kara made the booking process seamless. She provided a link to set up trial dates and even sent over a helpful skincare prep guide to ensure my skin was radiant for the wedding. I visited her beautiful studio for a trial, where I shared my inspiration, and the results were nothing short of breathtaking. When I showed my fiancé, he was equally amazed at how beautiful the makeup looked. Kara's welcoming demeanor and responsiveness to my feedback made the entire process enjoyable. She actively encouraged feedback, ensuring that we were fully prepared for the big day. On the wedding day, Kara and her team were set up and ready to go on time. They were not only professional but also incredibly fun to talk to and hang out with. When Kara handed me the mirror after finishing my makeup, I was moved to tears—I looked absolutely beautiful. I wholeheartedly give Kara and Beauty Alchemy a 10/10 recommendation. If you're in need of a talented and reliable makeup artist, look no further.

Kara and her team were an absolute dream to work with on my wedding day, I truly felt so beautiful!! I cannot thank them enough for helping me, my mom, and my entire bridal party look and feel our best. Members of my bridal party had differing style preferences and Kara and Stacy took the time to listen to each one of them to ensure they had hair and makeup they loved! Everyone's hair and makeup held up so well, even after lots of happy tears and sweaty dancing. Kara, Stacy, and Kelly helped make the morning feel so easy going and stress free and I will forever be grateful they were a part of my wedding day! Kara's work is absolutely incredible, and I will be recommending Beauty Alchemy to all my friends and family for any weddings or special events in the future.

I can't possibly express how amazing Kara and her team are!! Not only is Kara highly skilled, but she's so kind and warm, which helped keep me calm while getting ready on my wedding day! She really cares about her brides and is so dedicated to making everyone feel and look their best. All of my bridesmaids looked stunning and my mom was even convinced to wear lashes! I'm so so so happy with how my makeup and hair came out and I truly felt amazing. I would recommend Kara and Beauty Alchemy a million times over!!

Kara is a miracle worker! She's super easy to work with, really listened and understood my vision, and made me look super beautiful for my big day! She came early on a rainy Saturday morning and went to work! She and her assistant Kelly also made my mom and bridesmaids look beautiful too! Her prices are also very reasonable, she is definitely worth every penny!

Kara is wonderful! She is very skilled, professional and creative! She will make you and your bridesmaids look beautiful!

Hiring Kara was the best decision I made!! She was professional, always replied quickly, and was amazing at communication, she gave me great advice and had a huge amount of knowledge. I’ve changed my dress style multiple times and she was able to help advise on the hair and make up style that would work best for me and my dress. We also changed venues five days before the wedding and our timeline, and she was extremely understanding, and was able to make everything happen. Her materials are such high-quality and lasted all day. I did not need to reapply anything but if I did, i had additional products that she provided, which was a lifesaver in case anything happened. She did a beautiful updo on my very short hair, and it stayed in all night. She also did hair and make up for two of my bridesmaids and they both love it. we had such an amazing time that morning! I would recommend her to anyone looking for make up and hair. I my self did so much research and due to my work schedule I was not able to do a trial run for anything, but based on her experience, website, and all the positive things I have heard I was very confident to hire her for my wedding without a trial run!!!! I’m so excited to book her in the future for other events, such as being a wedding guest, because she took so much stress away from me and I couldn’t have imagined anyone else doing my hair and make up for my wedding.

I'll never be able to put into words how amazing Kara (and her work) is. From our initial discussion about my wedding, Kara was super communicative, warm and made me feel totally at ease. During my wedding makeup trial in February, I KNEW I made the right decision. I don't typically wear any makeup, so a full face of full coverage makeup intimidates me, but Kara absolutely nailed the soft glam look I wanted. She took her time with me and asked all the right questions. I walked away from my trial feeling so excited for my wedding day that I booked Kara for hair and makeup for my shower in May and again, Kara made me feel beyond beautiful (I so wish I had hired her for my wedding day hair as well). In June, on my wedding day, Kara was there bright and early with the best energy I could have asked for. She was the ultimate hype woman, brought only the best vibes, and was such a LIGHT to spend time with on the morning of. The end result was a natural, soft glam look that lasted from noon until midnight. My 3 bridesmaids and mom all look gorgeous and loved their makeup, too. I've never felt as beautiful as I have when Kara's done my makeup and would HIGHLY recommend this gem of a woman and artist to everyone...and can't wait for another opportunity to hire her.

I had the best experience with Kara and felt so beautiful on my wedding day. Not only is Kara an amazing person and helped me feel comfortable during the trial and the whole wedding day, but she is the most talented hair and makeup artist I have worked with! My bridesmaids loved her team of artists and they all felt so beautiful too!

I can’t say enough good things about Kara and her team. I’ve never felt more beautiful as I did on my wedding Day. She listened to everything I wanted and hit the nail on the head!! I had 10 bridesmaids , 2 moms and 3 flower girls and they made it look easy!!! The morning of the wedding was so stress free and fun and i have the beauty alchemy team to thank for that! If you are looking for hair and makeup artist that listen and do great work Kara is your girl!

What a dream!!! Kara and her team did my bridesmaids, my mom's, and my hair and makeup. Everyone looked and felt absolutely stunning. Kara was so sweet and professional throughout the entire process and such a pleasure to work with. I've honestly never felt prettier! Bonus: my hair and makeup lasted through the entire day, night, and after party, and photographed perfectly!! I couldn't recommend her and her team highly enough! You won't regret working with Kara!

Kara was the perfect fit for my wedding! She showed up on time, we so organized and responsive through out the whole process and her crew on the wedding day was fantastic too. I had 8 bridesmaids, myself and my mom getting out hair and makeup done and we finished early! Highly recommend.

I literally do not have enough good things to say about Kara. From my first conversation with her, she was easy to talk to and made me feel super comfortable. She was communicative, warm and quick to respond to emails. She spent a long time with me during my trial refining my makeup to get the look I wanted and didn't charge me for a second hair trial when I decided I wanted to wear my hair down instead of up. On the day of, we ended up going with a different style of curl (and generally a fairly different hairstyle in general) than either of my trials, and she still absolutely nailed it. As someone who generally does not wear a lot of makeup (but is also fairly Type A), I'm fairly picky about how makeup looks on my face. My makeup was light, natural and glowy exactly as I wanted and I truly just felt like the most beautiful version of myself. My makeup also lasted all day in summer heat and humidity and still looked amazing when I went to bed 16 hours later. Kara's team was also great and my bridesmaids, mom and MIL also all looked beautiful and loved their hair & makeup. Oh and Kara was also just a super lovely person to spend the morning of my wedding with. Lowkey looking for any excuse to hire her again so I can hang with her and feel as beautiful as I did on my wedding day!

If you are scrolling through endless names of hair/makeup artists for your wedding, just stop scrolling now! If you are anything like me when I was looking for someone to do my hair and makeup for my wedding, you are getting overwhelmed trying to find the perfect person. I am here to help you with that! Kara is an absolute gem to work with and was amazing through every step of the journey. She is absolutely professional yet still so down to earth and you just want to be her friend. She was very easy to get in touch with and I knew she was the one for me from our very first phone call. She seemed to know exactly what I wanted just from a brief description. She takes her time and you never feel rushed. Our trial was amazing and she was able to take the multitude of Pinterest inspiration pictures that I threw at her and come up with the perfect hair and makeup looks. She was exactly the type of person I wanted to be there on my wedding day. It’s a chaotic day and when you are full of nerves you want someone there who will calm you down. She makes you feel as though she is a girlfriend you have known for years that just happens to be doing your hair and makeup. I have always struggled with looking at myself in mirrors or pictures and felt nervous that all eyes would be on me for my wedding day. Kara gave me the best gift anyone could ask for and that is confidence. I felt beautiful on my wedding day and I don’t think I could have that feeling without her. My hair stayed up all night long and my makeup looked just as good at the end of the night as it did when she first put it on. I can’t tell you how many compliments I got on both my hair and makeup. I can’t say enough wonderful things about Kara and am in awe of her incredible skills and professionalism (and ability to roll with all the punches!). It almost makes me want to get married again so I can do it all again (if my husband is reading this…I’m just kidding) You won’t regret working with her!!!

Kara did my hair and make up for my wedding day and she did a phenomenal job! She made me look stunning and the look was natural like I wanted. She was professional, super sweet, and very responsive/reliable the day of and leading up to the wedding. She was an absolute joy to work with! She came with a team who were also extremely talented and made everyone in my wedding party look amazingly beautiful! They all loved how their looks came out. Anyone that hires Kara, or hires Kara plus her team are in great hands! I can't wait to work with her again!

Kara and her team did an AMAZING job. I truly felt SO beautiful on my wedding day, and my bridesmaids thought it was the best bridal party/professional make up they ever received. Kara is so easy to work with, so personable and really makes sure that you feel good about the final look. I was sad to say goodbye after getting ready on my wedding day cause she was so amazing and my hair and make up was everything I wanted. 1000/10 would recommend

I can’t say enough good things about Kara. Not only was I beyond thrilled with every element of my hair and makeup on the day of, but she also is the most kind, calm, and fun person and I just loved that she was there to help me get ready on the big day! She is such an artist – she really listened to what I wanted and what each of my bridesmaids wanted and then delivered exactly! Everyone’s makeup lasted the entire night (and into the after party!!!) and I got multiple requests to share her info with friends so they can use her for their weddings! She even last minute helped put a little makeup on my back for an emerging bacne concern with my backless dress. She patiently explained her whole makeup routine to Grandma as she was doing my makeup! And my hair! Seriously it was perfect and exactly as I had envisioned. I’m sad I don’t have an excuse to see her again!!!!

Kara and her team were AMAZING on my wedding day and leading up to it! We were supposed to be married 2021 but changed because of Covid and Kara was so kind and understanding. Helped make the stress of moving less stressful. Even the morning of the wedding I was stressing about weather she called me down. My makeup and hair stayed all night, an even to the next morning!! Thank you Kara!!

I was lucky enough to have Kara beautify me, my Mom, my MIL, and my bride tribe on my wedding day. I knew from the trial that I made the right decision. Kara's talent is unmatched and her eye for knowing which look is the right look is truly a gift. I am someone that puts moisturizer on my face, lets my hair air dry most days and good to go! Kara created such a beautiful, glamorous, romantic makeup look on me while still keeping me looking like myself. I had about 89 photos of hair on my camera and as soon as I showed Kara my dress she recommended the hair style to match. Upon seeing my final look on my wedding day I was brought to tears (which I held back as I did not want to ruin my look)! I felt the most beautiful I have ever felt on my wedding day and truly like a bride! My entire bride tribe enjoyed the morning having Kara and incredible team there. Everyone loved their looks and the fact that it stayed perfect all day! I could not believe when I went to finally go to sleep and my hair and makeup was still perfect (through our church wedding, a reception on the water, beach photos, lots of dancing and lots of hugs). I cannot say enough wonderful things about Kara and her team! Kara is a beautiful, sweet, genuine soul inside and out and I am so glad to have met her and honored to have worked with her on my wedding day. Kara - thank you, thank you, thank you - so much!!!

I can't say enough great things about Kara. She is so incredibly talented and made my entire bridal party feel so beautiful. Kara was incredibly professional, organized, and had everyone ready ahead of schedule. I have curly hair and have had bad experiences in the past...Kara listened to what I wanted, offered suggestions and improvements. My hair came out better than I could have ever imagined! Kara and her team are beyond talented with both hair and makeup and they did such an amazing job! I can't recommend her enough!

Kara and her team were an absolute dream to work with! Besides being incredible artists, they were all kind, fun, and made me and my girls all feel our best for the big day. They also had a great playlist ready to go for the morning! From the booking process and trial to the wedding day, Kara was an absolute pleasure and answered all of my questions. I am so so glad I booked her for my wedding — can’t recommend her highly enough!

Kara and her people were absolutely fantastic on my wedding day this past May! Kara had worked with me during my trial to get the look I wanted, listening to my thoughts and offering excellent advice. She delivered the day-of as well - I felt beautiful and got so many compliments on my hair and makeup, and it stayed perfect throughout the entire day (even when I was sweating on the dance floor!). Everyone else (bridesmaids, moms) looked gorgeous as well and loved their looks. Kara is also such a kind and thoughtful person, a great listener and super organized to make sure everything on your wedding day runs smoothly. Would recommend her to anyone!

I don’t even have words to describe Kara and her team. From the minute we spoke and scheduled my first makeup trial, I knew she was going to be my makeup artist and hair stylist. Her vision for beauty is unmatched. Even when I didn’t bring my hair extensions day of, she still made my hair look amazing. Her entire team made my bridesmaids, my mom & MIL look so beautiful. They listened to their wants and delivered! Thank you Kara for dealing with my indecisiveness for months and being apart of my day 😊 If you’re looking for a true QUEEN at hair & makeup, please book Kara. Xoxo
