Kayti is absolutely phenomenal! She is so timely, and her work is gorgeous no matter the style you choose! She did such a beautiful job with my sister-in-law’s wedding, and I of co...
urse I had to ask her to come to mine. She is truly the best hairstylist I have ever worked with, and I highly recommend booking her as soon as possible!
Kayti did such an amazing job on my hair for my wedding and my whole bridal party! She was an absolute pleasure to work with, and is so talented and professional. I can’t recomme...
nd her enough!
She was amazing! She made my vision for my hair come true for my wedding. My bridesmaids looked fantastic too! Couldn't recommend her more! Thank you Kayti! ❤️
Kayti is an absolute artist!! I knew I wanted a big intricate princess braid and when Kayti popped up I had not doubts that she would pull off what I was envisioning. I loved my ha...
ir trial with her but then the wedding hair was eve more incredible. I still am getting from comments from people seeing photos about how incredible my hair was, and I totally agree. Also, she is just the kindest human and so wonderful to work with. If you want to feel like a princess on your wedding day, Kayti is a million percent your girl.
Amazinggggg hair during my wedding <3, the hair trial went great- I wanted the braid from the trial to be longer and the wedding day - Kayti delivered exactly what I asked for and ...
more . I didn’t even know what I fully was looking for but it turned out beautiful.
Kayti was amazing from beginning to end! She even came to my house for a trial when I was limited on time, which meant so much. On the wedding day, she was incredibly fast (like Ji...
mmy John’s freaky fast!) and made the whole process smooth and stress-free. I absolutely loved my hair - it stayed perfect all night long through wind, a veil, hours of dancing, and everything in between. All of my girls looked gorgeous too! I also hired Lacie Pence for makeup, and together they are an unbeatable team. I truly cannot recommend Kayti enough!
I cannot say enough amazing things about Kayti—she absolutely knocked my wedding hair out of the park! From our first conversation, she really listened to everything I wanted, and ...
somehow delivered a style that was even better than I imagined. It was perfect—timeless, elegant, and completely “me.”
Not only did it look stunning in person and in every photo, but it stayed flawless all night long—through happy tears, hugs, and a LOT of dancing. I didn’t have to touch it once. That kind of staying power is pure magic!
Kayti was also incredibly professional and punctual, which made the whole getting-ready process feel calm and fun. Her energy was so positive and reassuring—exactly what every bride needs on such a big day.
If you’re looking for someone who is insanely talented, truly listens, and makes you feel like the best version of yourself, Kayti is your girl. I feel so lucky to have had her as part of my wedding day, and I recommend her with all my heart!
Kayti is truly the best. I was very stressed about my hair for my big day and she made me feel so at ease. After our hair trial I knew I was in good hands and had absolutely nothin...
g to stress about. Not only is she extremely easy and fun to talk to but she is efficient and professional. She was able to take care of me and all my bridesmaids with ease and worked well with even the pickiest of girls. She made us all feel comfortable, heard and most of all so SO confident. She is just amazing and I HIGHLY recommend her.
Kayti is AMAZING! I highly recommend scheduling a trial with her before your wedding bc she is so sweet and will experiment with different styles to make you feel confident going i...
nto your big day! She took so much time perfecting my look in the trial that I had less anxiety going into my wedding weekend bc I knew my hair was going to look exactly how I wanted it to! She is also hilarious to work with (and so pretty!!) so book her for your next big event ASAP!! Her books fill up fast so i recommend scheduling the DAY you get engaged lol
Kayti was amazing!! On the day of the wedding she was able to do 10 girls’ hair in record time and she was so fun to work with the whole time!! From my hair trial, I knew I was in ...
good hands cuz she crushed every style we tried. I couldn’t decide because they were all good! My hair stayed all day and night and looked perfect even after dancing which never happens. All of the girls looked soooo good!! Book Kayti and you won’t regret it!! She can do it all!
I worked with my Kayti for an August wedding in Coronado and it was the absolute best choice for me and my bridesmaids. Our process started with an intro call and she made me feel ...
so relaxed and explained so clearly how everything worked and our timeline. I went down to SD for my trial and wow - we had so much fun. As soon as we got done, I was so excited to have her as my hair stylist but also just to have her energy around for our day. Kayti is so fun, professional, and incredibly talented. I LOVED my bridal hair and she truly helped keep me grounded the whole day. Kayti also did my 5 bridesmaids hair and I am still compliments from them around how great Kayti was and worked with all their different hair types.
Kayti is the one you want to book, I promise. I would absolutely use her again for any event and I look forward to booking her again in the future! Thank you, Kayti!!
Kayti is an absolute must hire for your wedding day hair! She is extremely talented and I genuinely wish I had Kayti to do my hair every day. She did so many different styles on me...

Kayti was a dream to work with, I could not have asked for a more perfect hairstyle for my wedding day. She worked really well with my natural curls and made sure they were perfect...
. My hair held all day and night without feeling stiff or uncomfortable in any way, and my girls hair all looked incredible too!
I chose Kayti for hair for myself and 6 bridesmaids for my wedding on 7/8/23 and she did an incredible job! She let me try out 2 different styles during the hair trial and it was r...
eally helpful to see both to get a better sense of what I wanted for my wedding look. She was very helpful in setting up the day-of getting ready schedule for the bridesmaids and let each bridesmaid pick out their own hairstyle, which was super fun for everybody! The end looks for all of us were so beautiful and stayed looking fresh the whole evening, even though all of the dancing. I would 100% recommend Kayti for wedding hair!
5 Stars doesn’t even go high enough. All I can say is Wow ! So professional- was early, and is sooooo talented. Thank you for making me look beautiful Kayti on my special day !
My review of Wedding Hair Stylist Kayti:
I cannot express enough how thrilled I am with the incredible job Kayti did as my wedding hair stylist. From the moment I met her, I knew ...
I was in good hands. Kayti's professionalism, attention to detail, and genuine enthusiasm made the entire experience truly enjoyable.
Leading up to the big day, Kayti took the time to listen attentively to my requests and preferences for how I wanted my hair styled. Not only did she listen, but she also took the time to understand the vision I had in mind, ensuring that every detail was just right. What impressed me most was Kayti's ability to translate my ideas into reality flawlessly.
On the morning of the wedding, Kayti arrived prepared and ready to work her magic. I provided her with a packet containing selected hair styles for both myself and my bridal party, which helped streamline the process and ensure that everything ran smoothly. Kayti effortlessly recreated the looks we had chosen, exceeding all of our expectations in the process.
Aside from her exceptional talent as a hair stylist, Kayti's warm and friendly personality made her an absolute delight to work with. Her calming presence helped ease any pre-wedding jitters, and her positive energy was contagious.
Thanks to Kayti, I felt absolutely stunning on my wedding day, and my bridal party looked equally gorgeous. I am incredibly grateful for her hard work, dedication, and attention to detail. If you're in search of a talented and professional wedding hair stylist who will listen to your needs and make your vision a reality, look no further than Kayti. She is simply amazing!
Do you want the best wedding day hair, better than your imagination could even dream? Do you want your loved ones to feel beautiful and cared for and ALSO have their hair done in t...
he most amazing braids? Well, stop looking and book KAYTI for your special day. I booked Kayti a FULL YEAR out from my wedding day, and just like the man I married, she was worth the wait. I had 9 whole hair do's to be done before 1 pm on the day, and Kayti did them all, and they were all absolutely excellent. She has great advice for your look on the day, and mostly, just TRUST her with your look. I recommend booking a trial hair day, to build rapport, and play around with the look so on your day, you're not stressing about "what it will look like". I can't say enough kind words for Kayti and her absolute excellence in her craft.
Kayti styled my hair for my wedding recently, plus 8 bridesmaids, and all of us were so happy with how our hairstyles turned out! And no one needed touch ups at all for over 12 hou...

I am beyond delighted with Kayti's exceptional work on my wedding day. She and her team created stunning hairstyles that perfectly matched my vision and made me, my family and my b...
ridal party feel incredible.
From start to finish, Kayti demonstrated professionalism and an incredible talent for hairstyling. Her braids are absolutely phenomenal and I was so excited to get the chance to work with her.
Thank you for making us look and feel amazing on our big day!
Kayti is amazing! I did a hair trial and we tried three looks which was super fun. Then on the wedding day she did the hair styles of my 4 bridesmaids, my mom and me. She did exact...
ly what everyone's inspiration pictures were like and they all loved their hair. She did my hair which I loved, but last minute (like less than an hour before photos were happening), I made an audible and decided I wanted something completely different. She rolled with it like a champ and whipped up my perfect hairdo for the big day! I'm so grateful for her rolling with my indecisiveness and being able to make it exactly what I wanted! 100% recommend Kayti for your wedding day!!
Kayti does incredible work - could not have been more pleased with her work! She is incredibly artistic, organized, and punctual. The wedding timeline went off without a hitch and ...
the hair dos did not budge all night. My hair turned out perfectly! I super appreciated that she was helpful in brainstorming styles but did not try to sway me when selecting one. I was also thankful for her calming vibes on the day of. Thank you so much, Kayti!
Kayti is hands down the most talented hair stylist I've ever come across!!!! I am SO SO happy I found her on the Knot! Not only is she so talented, but she genuinely is the nicest ...
person!! I live in Orange County CA and I could have found someone closer but after talking to her, I knew I had to go with Kayti! When I did my hair trial, I absolutely loved it but on my wedding day, I changed it up because it was really windy and didn't want my hair in my face. She was able to do my hair in time, on the fly, with a different style!! And it came out absolutely beautiful! I am still getting compliments about my hair! My bridesmaids were so happy with Kayti too! They all looked incredible!! THANK YOU SO MUCH KAYTI for making all of us look so beautiful!! :)
Kayti is incredible!!! She listened to all of my requests and made myself and my entire bridal party feel so beautiful. Her braids are incredible and she is so patient and talented...
!! Do yourself a favor and book her!! She made me feel like such a princess!
Like so many other girls on here have said, Kayti is a hair master. She was able to complete all of my bridesmaids hair in under 30 minutes each, and do my hair in under 45 mins. S...
he is a master of her braids and making your hair have volume. My hair held without feeling crunchy from hair spray because My hair never holds style or curls and it held up through to the next day and I didn't want to take it out it was so beautiful! She is also the coolest person, she was awesome to have at our forensic files watch and get ready party before the ceremony lol. Highly recommend her.
Kayti is a hair WIZARD. Seriously, she worked pure magic on me and my bridal party. There were 10 of us and she kept us on schedule, without an assistant, and everyone looked pheno...
menal all day/night. And some of the girls had seriously long, thick mermaid hair, but she still nailed their looks in no time at all. I'm still blown away by her talent and so, so glad that I booked her for our wedding day. Everyone got to pick their own style, but it still felt cohesive and beautiful. It lasted and felt secure while still looking soft and lovely. Kayti was also great at helping me zero in on how I wanted my hair to look and was so responsive to tweaks. It ended up being PERFECT. Also, I loved chatting with her during the trial (tried out two different looks) and throughout the big day. She's truly a gem and I definitely recommend booking her!
Kayti is UNREAL. She is so talented, can literally make anything from pinterest come to life, is so sweet, kind and chill. All of my bridesmaids (me included!) loved both her and t...

er enough. From our trail to my wedding day she always followed up, had great communication, was punctual, and overall was so fun to work with. Some of my bridesmaids aren't fans of getting their hair done because their hair never stays curled and other reasons, but everyone LOVED her and her assistant. Everyone's hair stayed perfect the whole night. My bridesmaids with concerns couldn't stop raving about how their hair stayed curled and looked perfect! She really executed what each girl asked for. We had 12 people getting their hair done and I was a little stressed about getting it all done and staying on a timeline. Kayti helped me put together a schedule and kept things moving throughout the day to make sure we were on track. Overall an amazing experience!
Kayti's styles are absolutely beautiful. She really executed what each girl asked for. One of my bridesmaids lost all of the curl out of her hair but everyone else's stayed pretty ...
well. My bridal hair was absolutely stunning and stayed all night. Kayti is also a total sweetheart and easy to talk to.
The only thing I would be aware of is that communication was pretty slow. I only contacted her a couple times and each time it took up to a week for her to get back to me. Even during the month leading up the wedding it was still a long delay, which was a bit nerve racking. She only provides her email, no phone number, so it was a little scary to not hear from her and just hope she would show. But at the end of the day, she did show up on time and everyone's hair was beautiful, so everything worked out fine!
I hired Kayti after reading such great reviews of her online. I loved that her website had lots of pictures and pricing. I did a trial with her and she did a great job. I wanted so...
mething different for my hair and I showed her a picture of what I was looking for. She did an ever better job than the photo and I loved it. My wedding hair turned out fantastic! Everyone thought I was wearing extensions, but it was all my hair. Kayti is so talented, very personable, and great at braids. I would highly recommend her for anyone needing to get their hair done for a wedding!
Kayti was super responsive and easy to work with! I hired her for my April 2022 wedding for myself and 4 bridesmaids as well as a trial the month prior. She understood exactly what...
I was looking for with just a few photos and it turned out perfectly! My look came together exactly as I imagined it and I couldn’t have been happier. She was also so kind and calm and brought the perfect energy to the bridal suite the day-of.
If you've stumbled upon Hair by Kayti's page look no further. Kayti was such a gem to work with, all my bridesmaids loved their updo's. She has a great work flow, and can create ma...

I don’t even know what to say except BOOK HER NOW! She was one of my most organized vendors & made my wedding morning so smooth! She really just lets her creative hair juices flow ...

If you are looking for a hair stylist for a wedding in the San Diego area - BOOK KAYTI IMMEDIATELY! I cannot say enough good things about her work - and also she is incredibly nice...
and so easy to work with. We did a trial a few months before the wedding and she was kind enough to try two different updo styles on me. She gave me EXACTLY what I was looking for and the day of my wedding my hair stayed perfectly put all night long! She did 6 of my bridesmaids as well and they all LOVED the way their hair turned out. On top of that, her timing was impeccable. Her and my makeup artist finished almost an hour ahead of schedule and it made our day flow so smoothly. I can't imagine hiring anyone else - Kayti is the absolute best!
Kayti is so, so talented! I love braids and knew I wanted them in my hair for my wedding. I so happy I found Kayti on instagram. I did my trial and knew she had to do my hair for m...

rue.
It ended up being very windy the day of our wedding and somehow she worked her magic and my hair still looked perfect after a windy 20 min outdoor ceremony (literally no idea how she did it). I felt beautiful from beginning to end thanks to Kayti. Again, couldn’t recommend her more!!!
Kayti did a great job with my wedding hair, she made me feel like a beautiful bride, the moment I saw her work I knew I had to book her and I was so happy she had my date available...

She did hair for 4 bridesmaids, my mother and mother in law (and myself, the bride!) Everyone's hair was gorgeous!! I truly had no...
idea what to expect for my mom and mother in law since they both have fairly short hair- but they came out amazing!!
I let everyone pick their own hairstyle's and Kayti was great at keeping them all cohesive while addressing their wants. One my maid of honors even got this legit Viking-esque braid that I cannot get over- it was EPIC!
My hair stayed all night and I danced and was bouncing around ALOT! Oh PS we finished hair early! Because again- hair wizard!
Thank you Kayti for an awesome wedding day experience, I wouldn't trade it out for anything else!
