BRIDES...DO NOT DO IT! DO NOT HIRE THIS COMPANY! YOU WILL REGRET IT! First, let me start by saying that I barely ever post reviews and I certainly never post bad reviews, but in this case I felt it was necessary to save other brides from this ...
company. At my trial, everything was wonderful. The girls spent a lot of time on my hair and makeup and I loved how everything came out. As the day approached, I became concerned that one makeup and one hair girl wouldn't have enough time to complete myself, my mom and four bridesmaids. Months before the wedding I reached out to the owner who assured me that there would be plenty of time. The day of my wedding was extremely extremely rushed. When I say rushed, I mean that my last bridesmaid was still getting her makeup done while the limo was waiting outside to take us to the church. Talk about stress! That was high stress! When my makeup was finished, my face looked like caked on orange. I have a fair complexion with no orange tones so I have no clue why the makeup artist chose this color that clearly did not match my neck. The pictures from the beginning of the day are so hideous I can't even explain. My husband thinks that I always look beautiful and even he was disgusted. Luckily I wiped most of it off before the rest of the pictures were taken. Also, let me add that I curl my hair almost every day. I have coarse, thick hair that is amazing at holding curls. I've never ever had issues with curl staying in my hair when done properly. Now the hair.... at the trial my hair was so beautiful, and as I explained before I curl my hair often and never have any problems. For my wedding day, I wanted my hair extra curly...much curlier than I usually wear it. At the trial, it was done nice and extra curly and beautiful. When I sat down to have my hair done, I told the girl to do my hair the same as the trial. Not only was it less curly the trial, it was less curly than I usually wear it, making it look not special at all. Because it was so rushed and not done curly enough, by the time I reached the reception my hair was completely flat with just a few curls at the end. It was not the movie star look that I imagined and expected from the trial. I even got comments from people that they were surprised my hair was so flat since I'm known for having very full and stylish hair. Please do not hire this company! The girls are talented and they will do a great job at the trial. The day of they are rushed and flustered and you will not get the results that you wanted. Now I have to deal with looking at half of my wedding pictures with an orange face, and the other half with flat hair. It's depressing after you spend so much time and energy to make your day perfect and then you don't have any pictures that you like. Luckily everything else was wonderful (the food, the band, the ceremony, etc.) and I really did have a great time despite not looking my best, but I'm a person who loves great pictures and it really really really sucks that I don't have any pictures from my wedding that I want to display.

le I was open to seeing it down, no one even offered to try an updo like I originally wanted. I was quickly handed off to the make up artist and asked for a VERY natural look. She assured me that was her go to with brides and started with the air brush make up. As I was getting my make up done the hair stylists was packing up and I asked if she wouldn't mind showing me what my hair would look like in an updo quickly so I knew which one I wanted - she didn't seem pleased as she head to the shore, but she quickly put it up making my hair look like a beehive. I was then shown my make up and was horrified, the make up was dark, heavy, and I looked nothing like myself. I left the appointment upset, but then saw my now husband's face and knew it was bad. He said to me "you're not going to look like that day of, are you?". My parents were in shock at how I looked. KB had great reviews and the women were nice, so I wanted to give them another shot. I asked KB if we could redo the trial at a discount and she said she couldn't do that, she felt that her artists fulfilled their jobs. I am not sure how that was ever the case - I walked out with the opposite look that I walked in asking for. Maybe this company is better for someone who does not have fair skin or thick hair, but it was not a good fit for me.

I think its sad that people can go on and write whatever they want even if it isn't the truth! Although Im not naive to the fact that there are such unfortunates out there. I have been in this industry for nearly 40 years and understand that...
most brides do not know exactly what they want for the wedding day look its our job to work with them, tailor a look that makes them feel special. 1) Let me start off by saying I offer 1 free trial per wedding. 2) Carson came in for a trial on May 12th where both artist worked on her for nearly 5 hours, Jamie did two down styles and 1 updo. Kiara did 2 different makeup looks. 3) We spoke on the phone 1 week after the trial I asked Carson if she was happy with Jamie and Kiara and she said yes, but felt she needed a 2nd trial to tweak the look and she asked if it would be complementary, I felt both artist needed to be compensated and offered her a 2nd trial at a 30% reduction of the normal priced that was the last I herd form her. 4) My question is if she had such a horrible experience why would you want to come back for a 2nd trial. I wish there was a way I could attach the pictures of her from the trial here but unfortunately there is no way to do so.

Additionally, Kathleen's team was very patient with my bridal party, mom, and mother-in-law about how they wanted their hair and makeup to look, and made them look even better than their inspiration photos! One of the many important moments I really did appreciate was when I was questioning the amount of makeup I had on--she had my photographer take a picture of my makeup and show me on camera how I looked--and once I saw, all my doubts immediately left my mind. Amidst all the wedding day chaos of vendors arriving and whatnot, Kathleen's professionalism and calming demeanor kept myself in check as she has clearly done this for years, and I don't know how I would've gotten ready without her.

feel beautiful. She brought a team of hair stylists the day of my wedding and made my bridesmaids, flower girls, mother, and mother in law look amazing and feel gorgeous. She was able to accommodate a last minute hair request for my grandmother and also do an unexpected blowout for my mom. And even though both were not part of the original timeline everyone was still done on time so that our photographer could begin as scheduled. He even complimented her on having all of the hair and makeup done before he arrived. Kathleen is very calm and just her presence made me feel more relaxed even when I was not in her chair. I received so many compliments on how beautiful I looked all day and I had a confidence when taking photos, during the ceremony, and mingling with family and friends at cocktail hour and the reception that I never knew I could have. I credit a lot of that to Kathleen and her team. She is amazing and I do not know that I could ever say enough positive things about her character and artistry. A very heartfelt thank you to Kathleen – you made my day very special in so many different ways.

Her makeup application lasted all the way through the final moments of the evening. I highly recommend Chrissy and Kathleen Benjamin!

our bridesmaids for the wedding. They were so patient with the girls and stuck to the days schedule. Everyone received so many compliments on their hair and makeup. And everything last through the night! I sweat and slept in my makeup (because what bride washes her face at 3am?) and my makeup was still perfect in the morning! I can’t recommend Kathleen enough. If you are looking for hair or makeup for any event she is your girl! Thanks for everything Kathleen!

Samantha and Elyse were amazing to work with at my trial and on the morning of my wedding, and I was so pleased with how the hair & makeup turned out for myself and my bridesmaids! They had hair and makeup finished with time to spare, so that w...
e were able to relax before the photographer arrived. Makeup and updos lasted the entire night! Kathleen Benjamin was a pleasure to work with. My only complaint was that our start time seemed unnecessarily early in the morning, but I was glad that the time-frame left us stress-free, the girls were able to take their time, and we didn't have to rush to finish on time.

I got married on March 25, 2017 and could not have been happier with my hair and makeup! Kathleen and her team were AMAZING!!!! I went to Kathleen for my trial and she put me at ease and was just so easy to talk to and work with. From there we ...
communicated back and forth and she responded quickly with any questions I had regarding my bridesmaids and day of prep. Kathleen and her team came to my hotel room which was amazing because we could all just relax and not feel rushed and the whole day was awesome! The whole team was so patient with my bridesmaids who must of changed their lip color a trillion times (due to their craziness, not Kathleen and her girls) and every single one of my picky ladies loved the way their hair and makeup came out including my mom, grandmother and aunts. I highly recommend Kathleen and her ladies so you can just stop right here and book Kathleen already because I promise you you will not be disappointed!!!!!

ter Kathleen came as a backup. We were able to get everyone done by 1 pm with time to spare. The process of getting everyone done went smoothly. Elyse was the one that did my hair, she achieved exactly the soft face frame I was going for. Samantha was the one that did my makeup which I loved as well she was able to give me a beautiful natural look.

I originally chose Kathleen over other vendors because I was a bride on a budget and most of the other vendors I found were asking for prices WAY out of my price range. When I wrote to a few vendors within my budget, she seemed the most persona...
ble and most responsive to my messages. I ended up doing a trial with her and that was when I knew she was the right stylist for me. She was so patient and worked with me to find a hair and makeup style that I liked. After trying 2 different updos and a few different lip color shades, we found the look that I wanted for my wedding, and I was blown away by how flawless I looked. On the wedding day she replicated the look perfectly and I couldn't be happier. My aunt and Maid of Honor had their hair and makeup done by Kathleen as well and they were also in love with their looks. My makeup lasted all night through my tears of joy and sweat from dancing nonstop for 5 hours. My hair pretty much kept its shape, but it started to fall a couple of hours into the reception. I can't really be that mad though, because again, I was dancing all night long. I would definitely recommend Kathleen to any bride for the future, but the only reason I can't give her a full 5 out of 5 is because she wasn't able to finish our hair and makeup on time. I told her I needed to be done by 3pm and I ended up being done at 4:20pm!! Of course, this stressed me out immensely because I was late to my 4pm photoshoot, but she was apologetic. I guess if I was recommending her to a future bride I would say, she definitely does a great job, but make sure you tell her a time that gives her more of a window for error.
