irst met her for my engagement photos, to the trial, and finally to the wedding weekend - she is an absolute pro and she was able to easily translate my (kind of jumbled and often changing, haha) vision into the wedding hair & makeup look of my dreams. She is also incredibly kind and warm, and the entire getting ready part of the morning felt like hanging with an old friend. I absolutely loved my look and all of my bridesmaids/family members were also thrilled. I truly can't sing Kate's praises enough and would highly recommend booking her for any and all hair & makeup needs!

l night, and looked great. She even did touch-ups before she left. I hired another gal who is a close friend to do my (the bride’s) makeup, and she had no issues working alongside another makeup artist. If you’re getting married in the Charleston/South Carolina area, could not recommend her team more!

All of the bridesmaids loved their hair and makeup and we all received compliments throughout the entire day (the makeup and hair truly lasted all day!)

idal hair and makeup and it went so well. I’m not one to always wear a lot of makeup, and she made me feel flawless. She arrived early to our getting ready location, and was so sweet to all of my friends and family. Being a wedding vendor myself, I understand the significance of hiring vendors that are punctual, great at their job, on time, and nice. Kate is all of these things and more. I can’t stress it enough, she is a joy to work with, and I highly recommend her.
