Kat and Sam were fantastic! My husband's sister-in-law used them for her wedding several years ago and after talking with Kat and seeing their prices and accommodating availability, they were a no-brainer. Kat fully understood my makeup goals--natural, but polished bridal--and Sam absolutely nailed my textured updo. The trial was so smooth, the day of was a breeze. They were great with my family members who weren't super comfortable having hair and makeup done and were WONDERFUL with our flower girls (ages 6 and 9). Highly recommend Kat and Sam! Thank you both for being such a huge part of our day!

Sam and Kat were amazing!!!! As two brides they had double the task of making us look our best. I have never had my makeup done more beautifully! I felt fully like myself, yet elevated. My hair style was exactly what I asked for and with the trial was given some extra instructions on how to help my hair that won't hold a curl last a bit longer and I'm happy to report the curls held all night! Thank you both so much for making us look and feel our best on the most magical day of our lives!

A five-star review does not even begin to capture the incredible bridal experience Sam and Kat have given me! I am not local to the area, and they have been so accommodating from s...
cheduling calls and coordinating travel for trials and in-person meetings to maintaining exceptional communication throughout the entire process.
Sam and Kat are truly wonderful and have made me feel seen and heard every step of the way. I flew across the country for my hair and makeup trial, and I have never felt more beautiful in my life. I still look back at the trial photos and cannot believe how perfectly they were able to glam me while maintaining my natural beauty. Not to mention, they provided me with my favorite sparkling water and made it a point to talk about my wedding and to really get to know me. I have complete trust in them to bring the best energy and the utmost professionalism on my wedding day in Arizona! I also want to highlight how comfortable they have made me feel. I can openly share my vision, be completely myself, and never feel judged. That level of trust is SO important when choosing wedding vendors, and I genuinely cannot imagine working with anyone else.
I wholeheartedly recommend K&S Bridal to any bride looking for a spectacular, elevated bridal experience with truly down to earth people. You will NOT regret it!

h out to. Kat and Sam both have very fun personalities which added to the fun of getting ready. Most of my bridesmaids desired their wants as "soft glam" and it was perfect. All hair turned out well too, from the pin straight to the super curly natural hair. Everything turned out great.

Kat is FANTASTIC. She did my make up at my sister in law's wedding and I knew I needed to have her as my makeup artist. She came all the way to my house for a trial and the makeup ...
looked stunning. The day of my wedding, she was on time and even finished early so we didn't have to feel rush (there were 10 of us!!). All my bridesmaids looked beautiful and she was able to work with all skin types and hair/eye color to make the girls look their best! She truly is the best and I would HIGHLY recommend her for any event or wedding!!
