I have been a licensed cosmetologist for over 12 years, specializing in bridal and special event hairstyling for most of my career. I am attentive to the smallest details to make the bride feel as beautiful as she can on her big day! From prepping the hair to placing the hairpiece or veil, every moment is exciting, and I feel honored to be a part of so many special events. I have made South Carolina my home in the last 4 years from Michigan. When I am not doing hair, you can find me enjoying the sunshine with my 2 amazing kids and singing any country song!

Karissa did my hair, and my girls’s hair, for my wedding on September 13, 2024. She was amazing! Everyone loved their hair, it stayed strong during the ceremony and partying after. She was so quick to respond, work with us, and was a wonderful personality to have in the bridal suite on wedding day. I cannot recommend her more!

Karissa did my hair for my wedding 11/16/24 and she was so incredibly wonderful! She is so quick with responses and her communication through everything! She made me feel calm on a stressful day. She had a wedding before mine that day and she still made me feel like the only person she had! She made me feel comfortable to tell her anything I didn’t like or wanted to change which is important to me as someone who doesn’t like to speak up! She’s accommodating and super knowledgeable! She is the best of the best!

I knew I was booking Karissa from the moment I first spoke to her on the phone! I was so overwhelmed and knew nothing about booking a stylist and Karissa was so kind and understanding. She even helped me book a makeup stylist in the same phone call! Karissa is so sweet and amazing! I’ve recommended her to all my girlfriends because she had the most calming, friendly and patient energy. It truly felt like having another friend there on my wedding day. Thank you again for EVERYTHING Karissa! :)

Karissa was absolutely a dream to work with! She was always very responsive and easy to get ahold of, and she took the initiative to confirm information with me before the wedding. She made the whole process super smooth and stress free. Her prices were also very reasonable and worth every penny.
The day of, it was so much fun to spend time with her! She is so kind and easy to talk to. She listened to my ideas and concerns regarding my hair and was great at helping me decide what would help me feel the best on my wedding day. My hair turned out absolutely beautiful and was exactly what I’d hoped for! My bridesmaids also all loved their hairstyles. They told me several times how happy they were about the way it looked & how well it held up throughout the day.
I seriously cannot recommend Karissa enough. If you are looking for a hairstylist for your wedding, look no further. Book her today!

Karissa was super easy to work with and affordable! She created beautiful hairstyles for me as a bride, the mothers, and the bridesmaids. I appreciated how positive, easygoing, and detail-oriented she was. I didn't snag any photos right after Karissa did our hair, but it stayed looking good for hours as you can see in Nikki Morgan's photos later in the day.

Karissa honestly deserves more than 5 stars. Everyone’s hair looked amazing and my girls are still talking about how much they loved their hair! Last minute I even decided to change my style up because it started to rain and she knocked it out of the freaking park! Not only did our hair look great but the conversation with her and her helper (Amanda) was amazing. They were so sweet and friendly and we enjoyed every second of them being with us all day!

Karissa did an AMAZING job with my hair. I don’t know what kind of magic she did, but my hair usually is frizzy and flat after an hour. Somehow, she made it so my hair stayed flawless through out my wedding (after the after party haha!) even though I was dancing,sweating, etc. My bridesmaids hair also looked stunning the whole night. Would 100% recommend her! So sweet and an expert with hair!:)

Karissa really listened when I told her how I wanted my hair to look. We had a practice session and then on the day of my wedding, I decided on a completely different look. “No Problem” said Karissa and she gave me exactly what I wanted. Her easy going nature was EXACTLY what my nerves needed that day. Stop searching, she’s the BEST.

Finding the right person to do your hair aligns with finding the right dress and Karissa is your girl.
She is knowledgeable, professional and the results were stunning, it was more than I could hope for.
She was prompt and so enthusiastic about getting me the best style for the big day, she listened to my wants and turned them into a masterpiece!
You will not find a better person to style you on the most magical day of your life, I wouldn’t want anyone else!

Karissa was wonderful to work with. I sent her photos of bridal updos and she created a hairstyle that was even better than what I could have imagined. She was prompt for both my trial run and my wedding day (early in fact). She also did an amazing job on my bridesmaids’ hair (all 3 hair styles were different and perfect for each of them).

K.B. Glam did a fabulous job styling my hair and the ladies in my wedding party (6 people in total). As an older bride (I am over 60), I wanted to look just as glamorous as younger brides. She total succeeded and met all of my expectations. Each member of the bridal party wanted a little different look and K.B. met their wishes. She is friendly, affordable, and efficient and I cannot recommend her enough!

The first thing you need to know about Karissa is she is hands down THE BEST. She is the sweetest, funniest most beautiful wedding hair extraordinaire you could ask for. She showed up the morning of with the best energy you could ever ask for and a big beautiful smile on her face ready to go. In just a few short hours she did all five on my bridesmaids hair, my mom's, my mother in law's, and my grandmother in law's hair. She KILLED it. Every single person was over the top happy with how she had done exactly what they wanted. And she did it while laughing and having a great time with us. For any event I would hire Karissa over and over again. She is the best in the business.

Absolutely would recommend Karissa to anyone and everyone! All communication was thorough and timely, she listened to my hair vision and created the most beautiful style taking everything I described into account. Professional and friendly, she put everyone at ease and set the tone for a totally stress free and comfortable time getting ready the morning of the wedding, not to mention she was great with time management. She did my bridal hair as well as two of my Bridesmaids and all three styles looked natural and delicate and yet withstood one of the windiest days of all time. Karissa is great and will only add to the fun and beauty of your day!
