Kate Ford Beauty Inc.

rm, friendly, prompt with communication, and overall a joy to work with. Because I had a small number of people total that needed makeup services (myself, my mom, and my sister-in-law) I worked with Taylor instead of Kate for my wedding, but both of them were at my trial and were super thorough and listened to exactly what I wanted, making adjustments as needed. They were also both very excited about my nontraditional bridal vision and created a look that complemented it perfectly. On the morning of my wedding, Taylor arrived promptly and was super warm, bubbly, and easygoing; we had such a great time getting our makeup done, she made it super relaxing and fun. I LOVED the way my makeup turned out and it did not budge all day despite pouring rain, lots of ugly-crying (I was a mess during our ceremony), and dancing the night away. My mom and sister-in-law also absolutely loved their makeup as well and still talk about how beautiful they looked. If you want to look and feel like a queen on your wedding day, I highly recommend Kate Ford and her team!

ved to ask for myself. I felt gorgeous and glamorous all night. I asked Kate while in the bridal suite if they also did Jersey weddings and that mine would be in 6 weeks, and I was having trouble finding hair. She hooked me up with Alyssa and Gleice who did a STUNNING job on my hair and my bridal party's hair. The team is so incredibly good at what they do and love doing it. I am so glad we hired them!

style I wanted. Even after dancing all night and sweating, my makeup looked fabulous!

ew EXACTLY the look that I wanted, especially for my hair (lots of volume, boho waves), and she absolutely delivered. I also got my hair extensions through her, which was the best decision. Kate is super talented. She is a true pro when it comes to bridal hair AND makeup — and that is so rare to find! I was a little anxious about timing leading up to my wedding day because I had 17 women (including myself) getting hair and makeup services done. The Kate Ford Beauty Team was beyond amazing — all the stylists were so talented, professional, and the timing worked out perfectly. My bridal party, mom, and mother-in-law all looked so beautiful! I cannot thank Kate enough for making me feel beautiful and confident on my wedding day. Also, I was so appreciative that Kate was able to come to the venue for an hour to do touch-ups on me and my bridal party. Thank you from the bottom of my heart, Kate and the KFB Team!

en happier with the natural, yet glamorous look she was able to achieve. The day of my shower was SO incredibly hot/humid and my makeup and hair stayed ALL day (it looked absolutely perfect way past the time my shower ended!) To top it all off, Kate is just a wonderful human. There are so many emotions on a big day and she made the getting ready process so much fun and stress free. I would recommend Kate one million times over — you need her for your big day!

ful in coaching me through it and listening to what I wanted and I ended up LOVING my hair. Her and her team were all so wonderful to work with and made me and all my girls feel so beautiful! Would highly recommend working with Kate!

to exactly what I wanted for my hair and makeup and was able to tweak things in the moment if I changed my mind. She even mixed her colors to match my complexion! I got so many compliments on my hair and makeup and I loved it as well. She is a very talented professional and I would recommend her anytime!

e showed me those looks and more. I had been on several trials before and just left looking unflattering or like a totally different person. I left Kate feeling like I finally knew my bridal look! She also gave me great makeup advice in general. I felt SO comfortable with her and could be absolutely honest. On the day of the wedding, Kate was super professional. She and an assistant did my makeup and my bridesmaids. I couldn't have been happier with the beautiful, natural, and cohesive look of my Bridal Party. There were a few changes to my look from the trial and Kate diligently made sure that I had everything I wanted and more. She was so flexible and patient! My makeup stayed PERFECTLY all night and I could not have been happier with the whole look! Make an appointment with her ASAP!

g my makeup professionally done. When I first spoke with Kate, I told her about these concerns and she told me that we would review each product being used at my Hair & Makeup trial. I was so thrilled to work with someone that took the time to make sure I was comfortable with every product used. She even checked in with me after our trial to make sure I had no reactions. This made me feel so comfortable and confident for my wedding day! On the day of the wedding, Kate and her team were super efficient and performed all of the services requested in a timely manner. Everyone was so sweet and professional. My whole bridal party, mother and mother-in-law and I were so happy with our hair and makeup services! Everyone looked and felt beautiful the entire day! Thank you so much Kate! You were such a huge part of making our wedding day a success!

ery question and was even able to accommodate a family member last minute. I truly cannot say enough good things about Kate and her team.

The day of she was so attentive, made sure I felt comfortable and really brought such an ease to such a hectic day. Her staff was so friendly and made sure everyone liked their hair and makeup before they left. My hair and makeup lasted all day, through the tears and sweat! I cannot recommend Kate enough! I felt so beautiful but also felt like myself still and she made sure of that. Love love love her!!!♥️

y wedding. Kate killed it the day of my wedding! She also did my moms hair and maid of honor and we were all happy with everything!

ive to whatever my girls wanted. All of the girls hair and make up stayed great throughout the rainy day. Kate made sure that my hair was exactly what I wanted it to be and was open to making changes. Pricing was so reasonable too! Would highly recommend!

definition of an artist and a professional — she is absolutely excellent at what she does and the work she did for my wedding day was truly breathtaking. My makeup was absolutely perfect and my hair, OMG, it was a work of genius. Kate is a very chill, down to earth and accommodating person and not only was she great at the hair and makeup, she was also great to have around while getting ready for the big day. She’s overall just a great person and I’m so happy that she was part of my wedding day. My wedding was a gay wedding and our bridal parties weren’t really typical — we had men and androgynous women on both sides and Kate was able to offer them options that went beyond the traditional, one-size-fits-all beauty packages and she was able to accommodate everyone’s individual needs, which really meant a lot to our party. Also, my wife does wear makeup but very little, she certainly wasn’t going to be doing a full face, and Kate was able to give her a custom, specialized look that was very light, made her skin look flawless and highlighted her features. My wife is very particular when it comes to her makeup and Kate totally nailed it. Finally, her team that she brought for our bridal party members were FANTASTIC! Everyone loved their makeup and hair and they performed an absolute miracle for my mom’s hair, which is extremely thin and difficult to style! She’s never looked so beautiful. Hands down, Kate Ford was one of my favorite wedding day vendors and I’m already thinking up ways that I can use her again in the future!!! Thank you again for everything, Kate. Lots of love.

job. I felt incredible and all my girls looked breathtaking. They made everyone's vision come to life! HIGHLY RECOMMEND for any bride that wants to look stunning and have zero stress with planning.

easy to get along with, and contributed grately to wedding-morning vibes! Throughout the process, her team went above what I had asked of them in order to create the best end result. This to me shows people who are truly in love with their craft, which was so important to me when I was searching for wedding vendors. I had done a trial with Kate and truly didn't think it got better than that, and on wedding day she somehow managed to top even the trial! She was even patient with me and my girls as we purchased the lip colors to keep with us throughout the day. I would certainly recommend Kate to anyone looking for hair and make-up services!

and Kate was even prepared to take on an additional person when my aunt asked for her make up done too. Highly recommend booking Kate for your special day!

meone who wears makeup daily and it felt so light and comfortable for the entire shoot, even in the 90 degree weather! Since my trial went amazing I booked Kate and her team for my wedding. She and her team arrived early the day of, and got all my bridal party done before the photographers arrived. All my bridesmaids loved their look, some even said they wish they had found Kate for their wedding! Her and her team are true professionals and make you laugh/ feel comfortable throughout the entire process. My hair and makeup lasted from 11:30am till 5:00am!!! I’ve never felt soo glamorous and the compliments from my sneak peek wedding photos keep pouring in. I highly recommend Kate and look forward to using her again for future events!

d smoothly and they even finished early so we had plenty of time for last minute touch ups. All my girls looked beautiful that day & were very happy with their hair and makeup as was I. It was great working with them all & fun hanging out with them that day, totally stress free!

roughout the wedding planning to the trial that helped us determine the key look for the big day, and the 6:45 am early morning arrival time on my wedding day, Kate and her team were on point for my group of 10 with a 10:15 ready deadline! In addition to being talented and knowledgeable artists, Kate and her team are super friendly, encouraging, and helped us have fun as we prepped for the wedding. They also graciously accepted feedback and did some re-do's when a few small details felt off. Kate worked exclusively with me and her other team members managed to do hair and makeup for 10 in under 3 hours. Overall, I loved working with Kate and I loved the look of my hair and makeup, as well as the look for all my girls. I felt beautiful and glamorous but also very me. Thank you, Kate, for helping to make my wedding day amazing! You are an incredible artist and I highly recommend your services! xoxo

e she has done some of my friends weddings and this month my own! Everytime we have used Kate and her team, not only does everyone looking stunning but they feel it! Kate and her team really take your vision and make it come to life. I cannot wait to continue to use them for future events.

s ready in time for the photographer with time for touch ups. Our makeup was flawless and did not move the entire night and everyone’s hair was exactly what the girls requested. I cannot recommend Kate and her team enough!!! Trust me, my wedding was last night and I needed to get on here ASAP to write this review.

to work with in the morning and was happy to adjust our looks until we were fully satisfied. Definitely would recommend Kate and her team!

al, I felt like I knew her forever and she was one of my friends. Even for the trial my hair was perfect and just the way I envisioned. On the day of my wedding Kate of course blew me away with my hair transformation and also helped me calm my nerves plus although I wore my veil the entire time, not once did I feel as of my hair was out of place or my veil was going to fall out. Her assistant Paola was so amazing and my bridesmaids and flower girls hair stayed allllll night long!!!! I HIGHLY recommend Kate and hopefully I get to work with her again in the future!!! LOVE YOU KATE❤️❤️❤️

She did a beyond fabulous job for me and my bridesmaids and every single person at my wedding was raving over how beautiful my hair turned out. Would recommend her to every single person I know.

what was happening with my hair and makeup. I had a second trial for my minimony (thanks, COVID 🙃) with Paola and she killed it! I was indecisive and changed my hairstyle about a week out without a trial and Paola knocked it out of the parkkkk the day of! And was SO patient! I literally tried 7 different lip colors (🤦🏼‍♀️) and she was just so accommodating. 🥰 HIGHLY recommend booking Kate and her team. They truly go the extra mile to understand your vision as opposed to just “listening” and going over the top and doing whatever they want to do. I booked Kate again for my reception for our one year anniversary and cannot waittttt to work with her again!

re to work with. I can’t wait for her to do my hair for my wedding this summer!

am so happy I chose Kate to do my hair !

bridesmaids also had hair and makeup done by her team and everything was FLAWLESS!

able to modify my look for both my mom and myself for my small outdoor ceremony. As someone with very soft, untextured hair she was able to give me a very soft half up half down style that lasted ALL DAY. I could not be happier with the outcome and cannot wait to work with her again in May.

n every way and really listened to what I wanted done. I highly recommend Kate for all services she offers.

ke care of my large bridal party. Trial was great, gave her my deposit and we were set. Then Covid happened! Kate was super flexible and understanding when it came to all the changes I had to make. My makeup looked AWESOME and I was super happy! All of my bridesmaids looked great. I even had one bridesmaid who opted out of makeup (because she didn't think it was Covid safe) and changed her mind. Kate so kindly agreed to do one more Bridesmaid! That was her 9th face of the day! Kate also wore a mask the ENTIRE day and was super meticulous about cleaning tools between clients. Kate - thank you for helping make my day a dream!

e is so professional and I trust her and her team completely. Also her studio in her house is so perfect!!

LY all night long. I am not kidding, it looked flawless even after 11 hours of being outside in the heat and lots of serious dancing. Even the curls I had flanking my face stayed PERFECT the entire night. I was super impressed. She is also so nice and easy to work with. I highly recommend Kate and would definitely have her do my styling again in the future!

n to earth and easygoing. I booked a trial with her and then used her again for my engagement pictures, and she even drove to me in Queens when it was snowing! She called me the week before our wedding to plan out our hair/makeup times and she had plenty hair and makeup artists to style my large bridal party. (Bride, 2 Mothers, 10 bridesmaids) Kate and her team arrived at 6:45 AM and were ready to go before 7. We were all ready in time for my photographers at 1:15 PM with time for touch-ups. As the bride, Kate spent nearly 2 hours on me and I absolutely loved how I looked on our wedding day. I would HIGHLY recommend Kate for wedding and all events.

ame ,her team and her were on time and took there time with every one. I had 5 bridesmaid, my mom, my mother in law, my flower girl and of course me. They did a fabulous job with everyone. All of our hair and make up stayed the entire night. I would definitely hire them again for any future events and highly recommend them to other brides!!!

d so professional. She and her team are based in Long Island but they were willing to travel to Northern NJ for my wedding. The day of the wedding she and her team showed up on time and ready to get to work! I had 6 bridesmaids, 2 mothers, and 2 grandmothers getting hair and makeup done. Everyone looked INCREDIBLE and we were so impressed with the crew’s professionalism. Kate stayed with us for the balance of the day for touch-ups, but her willingness to help, and be by my side the entire afternoon far exceeded expectations. I HIGHLY recommend Kate Ford!

ble to really sit and tell her what works for me. I will definitely recommend her to do makeup for any bride and their bridal party. I’m definitely booking her again for future events. 😍

and respectful but radiates positively and a glow all her own. My mother came with me and I cannot say enough good things about how attentive Kate was listening to both her and my likes and dislikes (which there barely was). As soon as we decided on one part of a style she came through to complete the look tenfold. I booked the moment my trial was over and have been gushing over my photos and my styles since I left. I will be recommending her and her company whenever I can.

de me feel so comfortable and really listened to what I wanted for both my hair and makeup - I booked her on the spot! The morning of my wedding Kate and her partner were on time and ready to go. I had myself, 5 girls and 1 flower girl and everyone came out beautiful. My makeup lasted all night with no fading or smudging, and I even went out to breakfast the next day with my hair and hairpiece still intact. Highly recommend!!!!

e was who I would be working with. Within a few days I booked a trial and was more then impressed, she took the photos I showed her and made the look I was hoping for happen! In the following months she was easy to get in contact with, she provides you with an easy to read invoice and updates them as payments are made. The day of Kate was already unloading her car when I was pulling into the parking lot of my vendor and even at 6am was enthusiastic and ready to start the day with me and my bridal party. I was lucky to have her and I never once felt nervous. She chatted with myself and all the girls in her chair while working on us. She also had a makeup artist and someone curling hair as there was 7 of us getting our hair done. Kate did both my hair and makeup. Day of I asked her to alter the back of my hairstyle and she NAILED it !! My husband even commented on my makeup because it was so natural ! Kate asked me a few times if she could do something more to my makeup and I completely trusted her and am glad I did. It was a late night, so I did not take my hair out and it was still perfectly intact the next day so I was able to enjoy it for a bit more ! My bridal party looked amazing and I felt beautiful, thanks to Kate! If you have the opportunity to book her, DO IT.. you won’t regret it !!! Thank you Kate :)

ely came up with a wonderful game plan. I ordered my extensions through her for my wedding as well. And during my makeup and hair appointment I had for a separate occasion (yes Ioved her work that much I use her for every occasion) she noticed I had dyed my hair ever so slightly. She went out of her way without my asking and knowledge to order another color of extensions she felt would better match my hair out of her own pocket and brought BOTH sets the morning of my wedding to ensure I would have the best look. I was speechless with how much she truly takes care of her clients. All 10 bridesmaids, my mother and mother in law, myself and my grandmother were completely with flawless hair and makeup right on schedule! She was truly one of the best vendors I had that day. I wish I could remember the three other ladies who helped the morning of my wedding because they were so talented as well.

akeup that Kate was able to give me. With no trial, she was able to create my exact vision - a loose, long, intricate braid, and makeup that highlighted my face in the right places. She was really fun and down to earth - exactly who you want on a crazy wedding day morning. Completely talented and really cares about making your vision become reality.

s, email you back late at night, and help you decide what you want for your day while working with your vision. We actually experimented with a few different looks, I even used her for last minute event makeup leading up to our day and it was so nice keeping in touch over the months leading up to the wedding and beyond. She can do anything from a natural glow to full on “Kim K Glam” as one of my bridesmaids requested, lol. And she KILLS hair too. Her extensions gave me so much beautiful extra volume and curl. My hair and makeup lasted all day and night. I didn’t even take it off before bed and I still looked great the next morning!! Thank you Kate SO much for helping me feel like a stunning bride on my wedding day, couldn’t have done it without you!! xoxo Allie

et with someone. I also have extremely curly hair so I wanted someone with experience and wasn’t just going to say let’s straighten it. From the beginning Kate was amazing. Through email and for a couple months of trying to decide, I finally asked her if we could set up a trial. Fast forward to the time for the trial, I was now living in California so meeting was even harder than before. She was so accommodating and flexible. Victoria and Kate brought everything I wanted to life. Just like when I knew my dress was it, I knew my hair and makeup were set for that day. Fast forward even more to my wedding day, I had Victoria (for hair) and Laura for makeup come in that morning. Laura did the girls and moms makeup and Kate came later on in the day to do my makeup. All three of them were perfect! All makeup and hair lasted all day, even with it being over 100 and humid that day. I could go on with every possible detail but I’ll save that all. They were so much fun to work with and I couldn’t have asked for anyone better to come and glamify myself and my girls than them. Thank you so much ladies!❤️
