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 course 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 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 nothing 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.
Any questions?

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 into 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 amazing! She is so sweet and so great at what she does! She even came to my me at my house for my bridal wedding hair trial. After a couple weeks when she came for my wedding I changed my hair style and she 100% delivered it on point! I would love to have her do my hair again for my next event. She’s great at communication and delivers your dreams! Thank you so much Kayti! You’re the best!

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 really 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!

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 the 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 hours, the hairstyles lasted the entire day and night!

Not only was she super professional and efficient, but she had a calm and positive energy that put us all at ease during a crazy morning. I would absolutely recommend Kayti!!!

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 exactly 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!! :)

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. She 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 phenomenal 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 amazing! She is a master hair stylist and is so creative. She was honest with what would work with my hair type and how I could get the look I wanted. I cannot recommend her 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 something 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 magic with those hands. I booked her without even doing a trial, because I knew no matter what she did with my hair it would look amazing, and she did not disappoint.

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 a DREAM! Not only is she crazy talented but she also is the sweetest! I was running late to my venue and couldn't contact her because there was no reception. Kayti must have waited in the dark for about an hour and when I arrived she was so flexible and understanding and got me ready in no time! I got so many compliments on my hair that day and it stayed curled and flawless even through all the jumping and dancing! I never felt like my hair was "stiff" with hairspray and my braids didn't budge all night! She will make all your boho braid dreams come true! Kayti is a DREAM!

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 is a hair wizard. Full Stop. End of Story.
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!

WOW! That's all I have to say, Kayti is so talented! When I booked Kayti for a trial I knew I wanted to book her for my wedding the second she started braiding! She worked with such ease and just made me feel so comfortable and I loved that she was able to show me a couple options since I wasn't sure.
She is so down to earth and professional! On the day of the wedding she was able to get through 5 bridesmaids, my wedding officiant, and myself on time and was great about any touch ups or adjustments. Everyone's hair looked AMAZING and I got so many compliments on the braids. Kayti is truly a braid guru and I am just so amazed at with her talent!
I loved Kayti's transparency and advice on what type of look to go with based on hair type, color, and length. She truly just wanted everyone to look their best and I really appreciated that!
I would HIGHLY recommend Kayti if you have ever dreamt of having some sort of braid incorporated into you look. She can honestly do everything and you won't be disappointed!

Pick her! As soon as I saw Kayti's Instagram I knew I wanted to have her do my hair for my wedding! My hair does not have much volume and has always been hard for me to style so I was prepared to be told that my hair could not do my boho half up braided dreams! Kayti is incredible however and of course, fulfilled my dreams. I never felt more beautiful and my friends loved their hair and the goddess vibe she gave everyone!! My hair stayed together all night including my hair piece (through dancing and swirls!) without a frizzy hair in sight (and that's on a cold winter night!). I wanted to keep my hair forever.
She is punctual, quick and able to do a bunch of bridesmaids (flawlessly might I add), and an incredibly fun and cool person to talk to!

Kayti did my hair for my wedding and I've never felt more beautiful! She's also so kind and personable which made getting ready more fun! She was super responsive and very professional - her experience showed because she was able to recommend extensions, jewels to put in my hair, and worked really quickly. She was super patient during during my trial as I tried to figure out what to do with my hair and her easiness helped me stay calm on my big day. My bridesmaids also loved their hair - they all looks so beautiful! I'd recommend Kayti a million times over!

KAYTI IS AMAZING.... I have so many great things to say about Kayti! Let’s start with the obvious AMAZING hair she does! Looking for a beautiful goddess look?! KAYTI is your girl! She did my hair and my maid of honors hair at my elopement in Big Sur and made us both look so beautiful and did exactly what we had Envisioned!
I typically have extensions in my hair and when I originally was booking with her I asked her if she could do my hair with tape in extensions, she said yes absolutely I decided to actually take out the tape in extensions and I asked her if she thought that my hair would still look beautiful without the extensions, and she said absolutely she can do what I want with any length that I have. She did my trial run at my house and it was beautiful. She also put up with me rescheduling on her several times for my trial run and me changing my mind on my ideas many times. She is so patient, so sweet, and so beautiful inside and out.

As soon as I came across Kayti’s Instagram page- I KNEW I needed to book her for my wedding date. I was prepared to change my date if she wasn’t available. Jk jk (kind of 😜) Seriously though, she is a hair magician. My hair is definitely not one of my best assets and she perfected my messy, boho, braided hair dreams!! She listens to your vision and then makes it come to life but even better than imagined. She’s the best and I’m so happy I snagged her for me & my girls on my wedding day.

Kayti was absolutely amazing. I don’t even think there are enough words to describe how perfectly she is able to create exactly what you want. She is so talented and was able to easily create the intricate, whimsical braided look I wanted for my wedding. I couldn’t have pictured more perfect wedding hair! She also did a phenomenal job on all of my bridesmaids—none of them wanted to take their hair out! We received sooo many compliments on our hair throughout the entire night. She is such an awesome and sweet person as well and I feel so honored to have had her be a part of this day!! Kayti, you are truly amazing!!

KAYTI IS AMAZING!!! I had the privilege of hiring Kayti to do me and my bridesmaids hair for my wedding. She made everyone look like a goddess. She created a perfect look to match my Hawaiian themed wedding. It was so hard to choose what style I want because she’s just that amazing! Please future brides...Book Kayti!! She is so sweet and so kind and I felt like she’s been my bff for years!!! The way she does hair she makes it not look like the rest! I looked around for a lot of hair stylists for my wedding and there was something about Kayti’s style that was different and WAY BETTER than the rest. I can’t thank her enough. Thank you Kayti for making me look and feel like a million bucks on the day of my wedding <3

When I first started planning my wedding and the details I really wasn't sure how I wanted my hair to be for the big day. I looked through The Knot and landed on Kayti's page. Her portfolio embodied the hair I knew then that I needed as a bride. She creates the most magical looks. She is a braid extraordinaire! When she came to me for my trial I fell in love! Not only did she nail exactly what I had envisioned, she is also the sweetest person alive. All of my bridesmaid looked perfect and my hair was out of this world. She was even able to work in my hair piece. No I just need to find another reason to have her do my hair again in the future! Thank you, Kayti for making my magical day even more magical!

Ok- so Kayti is just literally the greatest! I found her on Instagram and booked my trail right away. At my trial I was immediately super comfortable with her (we’re both leos). My mom was amazed at how quickly and beautifully she curls hair. 😂
On my wedding day, she was amazing and really helped everyone feel like their hair was flawless. She has magic hands and I had made a few changes to my hair we did at the trial and NAILED it! My hair was my favorite ever and I’m so thankful I booked her.

Kayti absolutely slayed my hair and all my bridesmaids hair for my wedding day! I've known Kayti since middle school and have watched her grow over the years as an artist of hair and knew before I was even engaged that I wanted her for my wedding.
She was so flexible and willing to do any style any of us wanted and did so beautifully. There is literally no other hair stylist in San Diego that I would have let do my hair because they all pale in comparison to Kayti's work!
Make sure to book Kayti in advance, she's a hot commodity and books up so quickly! Trust me you will not regret hiring Kayti for your big day!

Not only is Kayti the most gift hair sorceress EVER, but she is such a cool person! She is punctual, prepared, experienced, and creative. She helped keep my wedding day running smoothly. she was super flexible and accommodating, when someone asked to have their hair styled last minute. She 100% made my boho hair vision come to life. I loved talking trash tv & astrology with her. I will forever be a faithful client for life!!! Do yourself a favor, and book her.

I had Kayti for my wedding in May and she is the best in the game!! She’s so professional and has such an amazing talent when it comes to hair. All my bridesmaids were in love with their hair and so was I! She’s so good I will let her do any style to my hair because I know no matter what it’s going to look amazing. I will definitely be using her for future events! I wish she could do my hair everyday! :)

Kayti is wonderful for so many reasons; she is punctual, responsive, professional, makes you feel comfortable, and amazing at styling hair. She’s great at it all, and is especially stellar at braiding! She was given 8 different hairstyles to complete (including mine), and she knocked the ball out of the park with all of them. All of the ladies were so happy with their hairstyles, and as the bride, it takes a lot of stress off of you to know everyone is happy with their style. She is also very efficient! She takes her time and is detail-oriented, but still finished before she was scheduled to be done. I highly recommend Kayti - you can’t go wrong with her! Thank you, Kayti!

Kayti is most definitely someone you want around on your wedding day! Not only is she AMAZINGLY talented at styling hair, she is also so sweet and funny! Kayti added a calmness to the room and helped all of us remember to enjoy these moments and not get so stressed. She catered to every persons hair types and the style they were going for. All of us felt so pretty and put together by the time we left her chair! If you are looking for someone who will be on time, helpful, cater to any hair type/vision, and make your wedding day even more memorable, Kayti is your girl!
