Beauty Alchemy

e 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.

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.

ave worked with! My bridesmaids loved her team of artists and they all felt so beautiful too!

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!

ly 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!

one and we finished early! Highly recommend.

h 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!

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!!!

ding. 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!

e 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

he 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!!!!

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!!

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!!!

d 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!

ooking 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!

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!

air 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

me getting to know me to help me decide what look I wanted. Kara is so talented and seeing her work is like watching an artist paint. She made me and my MOH look so naturally glamorous and chic - we were getting compliments all day and night!! Thank you so much Kara!!

ridesmaids loved their looks too! They really listened to what each person wanted done and everyone came out looking amazing. I would highly recommend Beauty Alchemy if anyone is looking for an incredible makeup artist!

e day and I was so glad to have Kara and her team as a part of our day!

eauty and enhances it. She listens to exactly what you want and makes it happen. She makes your vision come to life. I can’t put into words how gorgeous I felt on my wedding day. The makeup wasn’t caked on at all which was a huge concern of mine..the makeup felt light and comfortable all day which is huge. It also stayed on for the long day pretty perfectly. Aside from doing everything to make me feel stunning, Kara made me feel like the most important person in the world. She offered opinions when asked and offered suggestions if there was anything that felt off. She also kept me on a perfect schedule which is so important when there’s so much to do in so little time. She is hands down the best of the best. If you really want your inner sparkle to shine, book Kara and don’t wait.

was perfect and if any adjustments needed to be made. She replicated the same look for the day of. Kara also did my mother's makeup. My mom doesn't wear very much and isn't used to having her makeup done. Kara did a flawless job and my mother looked stunning. Kara is professional and easy to talk to. She assures that the work she is doing is what you want it to be. It was such a great feeling to start off my wedding day knowing that I didn't need to worry about my hair and makeup for the rest of the day. Kara also showed my sister know how to take my veil on and off so it wouldn't ruin my hair. She went above and beyond! I am so lucky to have worked with her and I would recommend Kara to anyone planning for their big day.

g with what she did. After my trial (and about 2 months before my wedding) I impulsively cut off a lot of my hair. Kara rolled with my hair cut and the end result was perfect! All of my girls looked and felt beautiful and that was thanks to Kara and her team!
