Every single person looked beautiful, felt comfortable, and received compliments well into the evening. It was clear that making us feel our best wasn’t just about appearance—it was about experience, and she truly created a calm, joyful atmosphere.

omen to get ready by 1pm and Kong made sure we were ahead of schedule with enough time for touch ups. She helped make the day absolutely perfect and made sure my makeup stayed through all the dancing and happy tears.

le getting hair done and they were so efficient the day-of my wedding. A couple of my girls had concerns about their makeup and they made the adjustments without any issue. Everyone looked so beautiful and I was so please with Kong and her team!

e. By the time of my wedding a few months later, I had decided I actually wanted a complete up-do. Kong & I texted for weeks leading up, and I kept sending pictures of different options but I couldn't find the perfect one. The day of the wedding, I put my full trust in her and let her figure out how to tame my long, thick hair - it was the most beautiful, sleek, intricate bun ever and I loved it. Her and her team were able to complete hair and makeup on NINE ladies the morning of my wedding. Every girl looked truly stunning and the team was incredibly friendly and professional. I cannot recommend them enough! It was incredible. My advice to all booking with Kong is "trust the process" - her experience and creative professionalism are unmatched, she is the best!

d and the trial helped us figure out what to tweak for the final look. She's very friendly and open to feedback!

mbering the feedback from the trials. Good communication and was prompt day of. Can not recommend Kong enough!

day and night. Kong had great communication with me from the start. She was very responsive with my questions and extremely punctual to all scheduled appointments. I loved having Kong for my wedding. With everything to worry about for a wedding, once I spoke with Kong, I knew my hair and make-up wouldn't be one of them. Kong, not only is an amazing hairstylist and make-up artist. She made the whole process so fun and put me at ease. THANK YOU KONG for making me feel like a princess at my wedding!

ly closed, but she made she we were completely happy with both of hair and makeup. She was able to customize our different looks and different wants to makeup, and her work is very glamorous while still reflecting a natural look. We thoroughly enjoyed hanging with her on our day, and she was funny and made our day even more special. Hire her!

at she knew in advance how to plan her day. My hair and makeup were more simple/natural, while one of my bridesmaids went with a more “glam” look. Kong is definitely capable of doing either style. I highly recommend doing a trial beforehand so that you can meet Kong and discuss what you want. It’s definitely too hectic to have those kinds of conversations on the wedding day and I was so glad Kong and I had discussed everything at my trial. Kong can handle the pressure of weddings which was nice on the wedding day when I was a little overwhelmed.

day itself - she helped the getting process feel calm and smooth. Kong made a thoughtful schedule ahead of the wedding day, which allowed for all 10 of us to have our hair and makeup done at a leisurely pace, with time for touch ups. She was great at communicating leading up to the wedding, and her team was in the bridal suite ready to get started exactly when they said they would be. Kong also offers wedding hair and makeup trials, which gave me so much peace of mind going into the wedding day. I knew exactly what to expect and that I would love my look. I would highly recommend Hair Etc. to any Maine bride!!

y to talk to!

is professional, down to earth, funny and super welcoming. She made me feel super comfortable and special! I truly appreciate the memories we createdfor our elopement! I HIGHLY recommend Kong and her amazing skills! I miss her already!

o schedule all online. I went to my hair trial appointment and kong did an amazing job of giving me exactly what I was looking for as far as hair and makeup! She did two head tight braids into a bun with curls and it came out perfect! I asked for a natural makeup look and she did exactly that! She also towards the end of my appointment after we became more comfortable with one another let me know and showed me pictures she took that day of the back of my hair. At the time I was going to another salon for my regular highlights and color and what she showed me was shocking. I had zebra stripes of all the different times my hair was colored going down the back of my head!!! She also showed me how broken my hair was from being mistreated by the salon I was going to! I was so nervous because my color looked horrible and my wedding was only about a month away! Kong confidently stepped in and assured me she would be able to fix my hair! She was able to get me the color I had been begging my previous stylist for over a year with her consistently telling me it wasn't possible and would take "to long", in one session! I love the way my hair looks now because of Kong I finally have the beautiful color that I was looking for from my other salon. Kong is now my highlight and color stylist to say the least! Kong was also hired to do some of my friends hair and makeup as well as mine for my wedding and she did an amazing job! Everyone looked beautiful and loved how their hair and makeup came out! Everyone was ready on time with more than enough time to spare to get ready for the wedding. Thank you so much for everything Kong! <3 If you're looking for a stylist or someone for wedding hair and makeup I strongly recommend Kong!

at day, thanks in part to my perfect hair and makeup. She was calm and efficient and made our whole day fun and relaxing.

g to Maine for my wedding and knew no one I frantically called salons to see if I could find anyone. Luckily, Kong was so kind and helpful. She opened her salon up just for me so that I could feel beautiful on my special day. She did a beautiful natural bridal look and a curled half updo. It was a pleasure to work with her. She was organized, kind, and really knowledgeable. I highly recommend working with her for your special day.

very efficiently. We stayed right on schedule and they stayed at the end for anyone who wanted touch ups. For myself Kong did my hair and makeup and she was such a fun, calming presence on my wedding day. I had a hair and makeup trial with her 3 days before the wedding which was incredibly helpful and a great opportunity to get an idea of what the hair and make up I wanted would look like for the big day. I wholeheartedly recommend Kong and Hair Etc. for any wedding hair and makeup needs.

flawlessly. She was such a good presence on our day and understood all of our different hair requests. One of my bridesmaids has been in 10+ weddings- and she said the hairstyle Kong did for her was far and beyond her favorite. Thank you for everything, Kong!
