Cotton Rouge and Company

calm and being able to sense when I needed a break from setting up. I could not be more pleased or recommend Cotton Rogue more highly.

e team was so fun to talk to during a stressful morning, she even reminded me and encouraged me to eat and drink water. Being out of state (FL) i was nervous booking anyone for hair and makeup, i am not disappointed at all! My pictures are turning out great! Thank you katie and team!!

so much fun and easy to talk to, and I am confident she could ANY type of hair/makeup look you wanted...and she is FAST! I was SO beyond pleased with my bridal hair and makeup, and how beautiful my bridesmaids were! Thanks Katie! You're the best!

fficient and kept things moving which helped us stay on track to be able to stick to our timeline. I highly recommend using Cotton Rouge for your hair and makeup needs!

ne by them and it stayed very well. I did try to do my hair in the studio and only had one mirror to share between the rest of the bridal party, so bring more mirrors if the wedding party is not all getting their services. Overall loved them and very glad we used them.

By the afternoon, they all just felt like friends! Thank you Cotton Rouge and Company!

and use them again!

lented, speedy, and most importantly, receptive to hear her clients’ thoughts/criticism. As someone who is not always comfortable speaking up and asking for a minor change/tweak, I felt comfortable voicing my opinions to her. Katie listened & made the right adjustments to make sure that I was 100% happy with my “look.” Thanks for making us all look & feel beautiful that day!

h Carolina mountains in August (very humid and hot!) and it even ended up raining that day. But even through that and through dancing the night away, everyone still looked perfect-- none of the hair or makeup seemed to budge. I even changed the hairstyle I wanted from what we did at my trial... aka last minute, no practice, etc, and it looked perfect. Also, Melissa and Katie were so nice and personable. I can't recommend them enough!

to be perfect the way you want it! Hannah was so efficient but also patient with touching up make up and hair for all my girls. Thank you so much!!

work with! Makeup was light and natural and hair looked amazing!

didn’t even have to ask her to make changes to my hair and make up during the trial run. I asked for a natural look and she did a wonderful job capturing the look that I was going for. My bridesmaids were in love with their hair and makeup as well!! Stop looking for your makeup vendor and choose Cotton Rouge right now.

xtremely easy to schedule with and were flexible when changes needed to be made to the services rendered. They did an outstanding job and everyone looked beautiful! I would highly recommend!

believe she is the best in town!!!!!

ind but she was so professional and came beyond well prepared! I've actually had multiple requests for her information for upcoming events!!

hey were professional and very accommodating! Highly recommend!

She was profeasional and super fun to hang out with all morning :) I never felt more beautiful and seeing how happy my girls and mom were with their hair and makeup was the cherry on top. Thank you Katie!

out the mistake. Make sure you specify that you want the trials to be done by the two separate artists. Otherwise, it was a great experience and the staff is very friendly.

p looks that are requested. They are flexible and take the time to make sure each girl is happy with their hair/makeup. Makeup looked fresh and beautiful all day long- through the heat, humidity, and tears :)

makeup person who is also fun and enjoyable to be around.

ll around amazing and helped make my day literally perfect!

on-site at our wedding venue. Katie and her team is so, so sweet, speedy, and fun to work with! Thank you for helping everyone feel and look their best on our special day!

g my makeup turned out! I explained I didn't want one thing/wanted to change it because it wasn't me and didn't feel/look right and she made sure to note it down and adjust to make it how I like. They also worked with me on my budget/time by scheduling me earlier than another party, which is fantastic. I've booked them for the morning-of and cannot wait to get dolled up again. UPDATE--- Melissa was FANTASTIC!! Melissa did my hair and makeup, MOB, and 1 bridesmaids hair - all before 10:30a with a 4:30p outdoor ceremony! I was very nervous my hair (half-up, half-down) wouldn't make it to the ceremony or the makeup wouldn't look nearly as smooth but everything looked flawless throughout the day, and even into the next after sleeping on it! Cannot recommend her enough! Thank You Cotton Rouge!!

They all do beautiful work that lasted the night in a quick, timely matter. They have great teamwork and respect the clients time and wedding day-of-schedule for pictures, video, etc. I highly recommend this company!

e with my photographers and the venue we were going to take photos at) and my wedding (which was only about 7-8 short months away at this point). Thankfully I was able to talk to Katie over the phone, and even though her studio was not available at the time I needed to have my makeup done before taking engagement photos, she was able to accommodate me at another location that was close by. I was so happy with how my makeup and hair looked for my engagement photos, and Katie was so great at adjusting to the few tweaks that I was requesting on my wedding day. I normally don't wear a lot of makeup, and Katie did a great job with not making me look too "glammed up", yet still beautiful. Not only was I super happy with my wedding day look, but so were my mom and MOH, who got their hair/makeup done as well. She works super fast which was great for keeping to wedding day timeline, and she has a calming presence that made us just feel like there was another friend in the room. She was also very flexible with our last minute requests. I would highly recommend doing the airbrush makeup and false eyelashes that she provides complimentary with makeup...they definitely make a difference in the engagement/wedding photos!

nt to me and I could be happier. I highly recommend!

he was so efficient and everyone was so impressed by Katie!

I would recommend Katie and Cotton Rouge to all of my friends!! :)

location and were so fun to be with on my wedding day. The only concern we had was the length of time it took to do everyone's services. We had 15 people getting makeup done and 8 getting hair done, and were running a little behind by the end. I think for a group as large as ours, there should have been a third artist there, but they made it work and everyone looked beautiful and made it to the wedding on time!

R client. She was so great to work with. During my test run (which served my bridal portraits) and getting ready on my big day, Latia was a calming presence in the room. She made me laugh when I needed to, and her work was perfection. With her artistry, I felt beautiful, confident, and relaxed which led to great photos. As a "spreadsheet" bride, I appreciated Latia's detailed style and preparedness. My bridesmaids loved having her with us while getting ready. I recommend Latia for all of your beauty needs.

e took my vague description of what I had in mind for my hair and created that and more! It was stunning! Getting married in August, I was worried about how well my makeup would hold up in the heat and humidity. With her beautiful airbrush makeup, I never touched it or had to worry about it at all throughout the day. It looked just as perfect when I took it off after midnight as it did when she put it on at 7:00am that morning. What a relief that was! Katie truly made me feel like the most beautiful bride and my now husband raved about how beautiful and natural my makeup looked. Having her come to my house the morning of made things so much more relaxed as well! If you are looking for hair and makeup for your special occasion- look no further!

f the groom, and myself (the bride), all by herself and her results were AMAZING! I felt so lovely and my bridesmaids and the mothers were absolutely gorgeous! AND, she finished ahead of schedule! She was such a calming presence on my big day and I knew hair and makeup were one of the few things I completely did not have to worry about ... All thanks to Katie Cotton! If I ever need hair and makeup again, I'll be calling Katie!

oked flawless on my wedding day and it was all thanks to her. I had 6 bridesmaids and myself, and she was able to make us look and feel great in just 3 hours! I wouldn't recommend anyone else. I'm even trying to come up with reasons to book an appointment with her again!! :-)

veral asked me during the wedding who we used so they could use them as well! Not only did they do a great job, but the prices were very competitive and I felt like I get a better quality with Cotton Rouge than I did with any other makeup artists I tried before going to them.

es and make up looks that I liked, and she was able to recreate the looks and modify them to fit my face and personal style. Everyone LOVED my hair and make up and raved about it! Katie was wonderful, and I would absolutely go to her again. She was so happy and upbeat. She made my wedding day even more special! I would extremely highly recommend her!

eeing Katie's work that day there was no doubt in my mind that this was who I wanted to do my hair and makeup on my wedding day! When I called Katie she was already booked, however, she has several girls that work for her that are awesome! Ashley and Megan were the two girls that came out and did our makeup and hair for my wedding day and they were amazing! They listen to exactly what you want to look like and make it happen. I love the airbush makeup that they use. Having a summer wedding I was worried about being hot and sweating off my makeup, but I honestly looked the same when we were leaving to reception as I did when I walked down the aisle! Katie is truly an artist and does beautiful work! The only thing I'm sad about is that she can't do my hair & makeup everyday! :) Don't look any further for a hair and makeup artist! Katie Cotton is the best!

s! My Matron of Honor commented what a great job she did on everyone. Everything was done quick and perfect. Honestly, this is the best hair and makeup I have ever had done anywhere by anyone. I hope I can find some reason to use her for a special event in the future. My makeup and hair stayed all day; I even fell asleep with the makeup on and could have thrown some clothes on and been ready for the day. NO REGRETS!

g. They are very professional but they are also very warm and friendly individuals. SO happy with the results. Thank you again.

ished right on time. We had a total of 10 people for hair, make-up or both and they did a great job on everyone. Since there were so many people Katie brought a helper. Her helper was very nice and did a great job but Katie is definitely the star! She is super-efficient and a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend Katie and Cotton Rouge.

me to do a trial run then did my hair and makeup for bridal portraits and wedding day. My hair and makeup looked amazing. I love that it was natural enough that I still looked like myself, but I still felt glam like I wanted to. She also did hair and makeup for most of my bridesmaids. If you have a larger party like I did, she will bring an assistant and get your wedding party looking beautiful in no time. I would recommend Katie Cotton to anyone who is getting married!

ary trail run was a bit hard to fit into our schedule, due to the fact that we were only going to be in charleston for 2 days (we live in north carolina). there was also travel fees that needed to be added on to her fees, since she is about a 3 hour drive from charleston. but to me it was worth it. she was easy to work with, great personality, made you feel comfortable, and knew what she was doing. i had a couple of concerns after the trial, but all were addressed the day of. my one bridesmaid that didn't want her hair or makeup done even changed her mind and had her hair done after seeing everyone else done. she also did makeup on my mom, which brightened up her face, took years off, and ultimately made her more comfortable, which was good since she was walking me down the aisle. we all really liked her and would totally recommend her. when my husband looks at the pictures now, he always managed to mentioned how much he liked my hair, which makes me laugh every time. nice natural makeup, cute hair, just great.

id it exactly! She is so easy to work with plus she is super fast but accurate! Everyone thought I looked gorgeous (which is what you want on your wedding day) Plus she is super affordable! If you are looking for a hair and make up artist, look no further!

the wedding party were very please with her and the assistant

30 minutes (I was running late so this was very helpful); I felt like a celebrity! I did notice at the end of the wedding day that my hair came out different than what we had practiced during our trial session, but regardless, it was still beautiful. Thank you Katie and your team!!

raits! She is wonderful and well priced. Katie's work doesn't make you look like a clown, she makes you feel like yourself but enhanced :) I would recommend to her to anyone and would use her again if I have the opportunity to do so!

fabulous. I've never seen myself this beautiful before, but yet I still look like me! I highly recommend her!!!

of the work and the quality of the makeup. It withstood my 95 degree wedding day and taking pictures outside!

enough time so you are not rushed.

e, and willing to do ANYTHING you may need to make your day a success (even if it's not hair/make-up related). -- Katie has buckled my shoes when I couldn't bend down in my dress, cut my tags off when I forgot to remove them, and tied and trimmed my sash when no one else knew how. Katie is more than a hair and make-up artist - she becomes part of the wedding party! I highly recommend Katie to anyone!

e wedding, and I felt like she knew exactly what I wanted! The day of the wedding, she made me feel absolutely flawless! She's very knowledgeable about what she does, and I definitely recommend her to anyone!

makeup was gorgeous. I can thank Katie for that - she is truly talented!

ictures to give her idea of what I wanted for my wedding day. She took my idea and put a cool twist on it and my hair looked amazing! My makeup was flawless! I felt beautiful and confident! On my wedding day, my family and friends all commented on how cool my hair looked and thought it was so intricate and neat! I wish I had more reasons to have my hair and makeup done just so I could work with Katie again!

It was so much fun and less worry especially the day of when she comes to you for hair and make-up. I felt like a duchess.

y hair half up and curly for the ceremony. After the ceremony, pictures, etc. I realized I was insanely hot and the reception had not even started. So, good thing we hired Katie to stay! She QUICKLY (I mean like within five to ten minutes) totally re-did my hairstyle. I went from half up to a side bun and she even included a little braid in the bun (which I had in my original half-up hairstyle). Many guests commented on how quick the bridal party arrived to the reception venue and especially to see that I had a totally different hairstyle so quick. The guests loved the different hairstyle and many said they didn’t know which they loved the most, the half up or the side bun. Not only did Katie do an AMAZING job on my hair, but by far the best make up I have ever seen. I’ve had my makeup done many of times for pageants, prom, etc. but I was beyond pleased with Katie’s work. My make-up held up GREAT in the humid weather as well. It looked the same at the end of the night as it did seven hours previously. I loved having Katie with me for my special day! With Katie being there it made me feel so secure, because with the heat my hair usually falls and my skin becomes shiny. However, this was not the case with Katie being there. I did not have to worry at all about how I looked. Without even asking, Katie would automatically start touching up my make-up, curls, etc. My mother, mother in law, flower girl, and a couple of bridesmaids also had their hair/makeup done by Katie, and she treated them just the same. Touching them up as needed without even being asked. I felt so calm with Katie there, because anything I needed she was willing to take care of it. After finishing my side bun she even bustled my dress. She is more than a makeup and hairstylist. Every bride needs “a Katie” on her day! She was overall VERY professional, so fun, sweet, and an AMAZING hair stylist and makeup artist. I would HIGHLY recommend to any bride if you splurge on ANYTHING on your special day it should be hair and makeup, because no matter how pretty the dress is, how good the photographer is, if you don’t feel beautiful and if your hair and makeup is not just the way you want it then you won’t be satisfied. I can guarantee if you have Katie with you on your special day you WILL be beyond satisfied!

did not contact her until very close to the wedding). We decided to find someone else to do my makeup the day of so we were not rushed and Katie found someone else she had trained, and set up a trial run for me at her house so the thee of us could meet and decide what I wanted for the wedding. I could not believe how helpful she was. It was a great experience and my makeup looked amazing at the wedding.

t tell you how great it is to not have to travel to a salon on your wedding day. She has a great personality, and it was fun to chat with her. She fit right in with me and my bridesmaids so it was just like hanging out with friends.
