Kensington Makeup

dding to get to know her and test out my Day Of look. Kasie executed my vision perfectly and it was like catching up with an old friend on my wedding day. The team set up in our hotel suite and got right to work. My makeup was a soft glam so I still felt and looked like myself, nothing too heavy. My bridesmaids looked absolutely gorgeous! Great job, ladies!

and was on time getting all the girls looking amazing! My hair stayed looking perfect all night! Super sweet and very professional!

e and made me and my bridal party look incredible and we were done AHEAD of schedule!! Thank you Kensington for making the beauty a relaxing and drama free experience while still giving glam!! Communication the whole time from Natasha and her team was great too.

irst trial and also at my wedding. My look lasted all night and I truly felt beautiful and like I was not overdone. It was a wonderful experience hiring Kensington as they also are incredibly professional throughout the whole process.

fore the ceremony and photos. The trial helped us figure out what I wanted for my big day and they are all very sweet artists! Thank you, again, for making us look perfect for our big day and for being so sweet through the entire process!

egan, Beth and Alvin, their skills, personalities and abilities to make all ages shine. They arrived early and were set up and ready to go to keep us all on time.

- hair and make-up at a wonderfully competitive price. My trial was amazing! I felt completely at ease and my stylist did a wonderful job of listening to what I wanted. The timeline they sent was so helpful to our crew. On the wedding day everything went so smoothly and both the hair stylist and make-up artist were extremely talented! All of my girls are beautiful but they handled the different ages, styles, and preferences beautifully. Everyone was so happy with how their looks turned out! Absolutely would recommend to any and every bride!

hair stylists who worked with us and were super professional and I really enjoyed working with them! Without a doubt I would hire Kensington again!

ly transformed us with his skill and eye for detail.

stride. I was really blown away by the final product because I felt radiantly beautiful but I still looked like myself and the looks celebrated my natural and timeless beauty wedding themes. With Kensington you communicate through a portal which is a bit indirect and services are not inexpensive (I was surprised by the cost but I never have professional makeup or hair services) but the outcome was as good as I could have hoped for from an experienced and talented artist. The hair and makeup work did not budge despite the heat of an outdoor wedding, happy tears, dancing, and long wear. Thank you for making me feel like a queen on my special day!

t I wanted and she really listened to me and adjusted as we went. Everyone complimented my hair and makeup all day! I highly recommend Kensington and special shoutout to Mariah!

d they kept on track and got the work done perfectly. Highly suggest booking for your wedding beauty services!

l my thoughts after our trial, and applied them as requested. Alvin did an incredible job with my bridesmaids, moms and grandma. I picked this company for the price, use of airbrushing and lashes, and the very reasonable pricing. Communication for scheduling and invoices was thorough, and all saved on their portal. Would absolutely recommend Kensington, especially Natalie.

be there for you. It's not "just a service". They treat you like their sister or childhood best friend. All of my questions were answered clearly and concisely. Natasha honestly was a huge help in SO many aspects leading up to my big day. She also asks very great questions that I hadn't even thought to ask! Her willingness to make your dream work, flexibility to you, and just overall good heart makes Kensington so EASY to work with. Sadly, my fiancé and I decided to cancel our wedding and I didn't get to undergo the service. But due to the treatment and generosity I was shown in the moments leading up to my big day, I am DEFINITELY gong to book Kensington when the time is right again. They are just phenomenal and truly the best teams of folks. I can't wait to work with them, again.

ve had the same hairdresser since I was 8 years old. However, Megan was perfect! I told her what my vision was for my hair and makeup, and she executed it perfectly!! She also has the best personality - it was so much fun working with her! I am so excited for her and the rest of the team at Kensington to do my wedding in May!

e and did such a great job accommodating my bridal party of 10!

RS. It looked amazing. Sometimes make up can look quite cakey, but nope not ours! We all received so many compliments on our hair and make up. I wouldn’t trust anyone else to do professional hair and make up from this point on. Professional, kind, and reasonably priced. Book them now, and you won’t regret it!

ade for my wedding. Best decision ever! Everyone got such individualized hair and makeup done and they all looked absolutely stunning! Not to mention that all of our hair and makeup lasted all day. Thank you Natasha, Diana, Amy, and Paige. You all are fantastic!

ear and the owner Natasha without even question scheduled me for another free trial. She called me right after and made sure I loved the hair and makeup artist and how I looked. I loved it so so much. I had 17 bridesmaids/family get hair and makeup done on my wedding day and that was no problem for Kensington! They sent 6 artists and every single one of my girls looked STUNNING. The best part is they are all trained for airbrush foundation and it looks incredible in pictures because it's very light and not cakey looking. I personally have never felt or looked prettier in my life. I love Kensington and I would highly recommend them especially because Natasha the owner is so fantastic and easy to work with!

less execution. My artist, Lidia, did such a great job and my make-up stayed perfect through all of the sweat and happy tears of the day. All of my bridal party were so happy with the work done on their hair and make-up. Highly recommend working with them!!!

I had 3 trials total, with the first 2 not being what I was looking for. Instead of giving me an "all or nothing" attitude, Natasha called and texted me personally to ask if we could do one last trial with a senior makeup artist. I am SO glad I allowed her to make things right, because my last makeup trial and my day of makeup was flawless. Nicole did my makeup and she knocked it out of the park. The only thing I will say is the hairstylists that showed up (we booked hair and makeup for the bridesmaids, then my personal hair person for me and the moms), the hair stylists that showed up were nice but only had basic style knowledge. They also wouldn't blow dry one of the girls hair (super short jaw length hair), stating they were hired to do the hair not blow dry it. It was a little awkward, but it was almost time for me to go out in my dress, so I let it roll off. The makeup Nicole did on the girls was PERFECTION though! Would definitely work with Natasha and Nicole again for makeup.

ed my vision on my wedding day along with Alvin and Kazzy for my bridal party. I would absolutely recommend using Kensington for all your hair and make up needs on for your event!! If I could give more than 5 stars, I would!

e day of the wedding, everything was well communicated and went smoothly. Megan did my trial and day of services. Lidia and Norma joined the team on my wedding day. All 3 were talented and terrific. They listened and provided direction when asked. They were friendly and efficient having enough time for touch ups and finishing ahead of schedule. Everyone was happy with how their wedding hair and makeup turned out. I would highly recommend Kensington for your hair and makeup needs!

everal complaints. On the day of my wedding she couldn’t remember certain hair tools or makeup shades that we had agreed on at the trial and asked me several times if I remembered (which I did not). This made me nervous that she did not remember what we used to create the look that I loved at the trial. My bridesmaids later told me that after I had left the room that she was very aggressive in asking them for tips, which made them feel uncomfortable. She was also unwilling to fix hair pins and various small things that they asked of her during their service. Overall, we were displeased with her curtness and inflexibility (especially for the price) and called Kensington to tell them our experience. Whoever we spoke to on the phone defended Diana and dismissed our negative experience. It was disappointing to see them miss an opportunity for service recovery and I will not be recommending this company to my friends or to my wedding planning company.

nd perfected the look for my wedding day. It was absolutely beautiful. Makeup and hair lasted all night and were just as fresh as the beginning of the day!

Covid. She responds to messages extremely quickly and is always looking for solutions for her brides. Megan made me feel so comfortable during the trial, and the day of she incorporated all the changes we talked about, and I had so many people comment on how gorgeous my hair and makeup was. Megan did the makeup for my bridesmaids and Jen P. did their hair- both ladies were great at giving the girls exactly what they were looking for, and they were efficient, professional, and so nice. I couldn't be happier with how beautifully it all turned out.

outcome & wish I lived in town because I'd use her all the time!

Lidia is that she has great instincts on what to ask about, and what to do! So lucky to work with Kensington for this occasion and would use again for any other that arises.

makes the process very easy which is what is needed when planning a wedding! Diana was my hair and makeup and she was fabulous. She listened to my vision and nailed it! She also gave feedback and advice when it was needed and appreciated. I don't have one bad thing to say about the team that came as our glam squad!

m out of state) for the December 2019 wedding. Natasha was superbly patient with me in helping build and customize a package of services for all our guests. Special thanks to Natasha for accommodating us and being flexible with us despite our extremely tight timelines and multiple pre-wedding functions. All our guests were very happy with their services; the flower girls were especially excited to get their hair and makeup done. A big shout-out to Lydia, Paige & Stephanie for being super amazing and for the stunning makeovers. Definitely recommending Kensington Makeup Academy to all our family and friends for future events. Thank you Natasha...a million times over. Love & Regards, Tanu Verma

re great with communication and very reliable which is so important. I was a little hesitant at one point because based on my wedding party size we were only having 1 girl come do all our hair and I didn't think there was enough time for us all but Clarice, my stylist, killed it and exceeded my expectations. Not only did she blow through getting all of our hair done on time (a little early too!) but everyone's hair looked AMAZING. I could not thank her enough for everything. I knew through my trial that she was great but the way she got through all of us so smoothly, and all looked so good was impressive. I highly recommend her if possible- she's the best. Thank you Kensington and Clarice!

akeup done, and everyone looked juts PERFECT. When I originally went in for my bridal trial, I wasn't super happy with how things turned out, but Natasha had me come back for a re-do trial, and I couldn't have been more pleased with the results. After that, I booked the team immediately and am so glad I did. The ladies that came for the day of, Diana (who I worked with for my trial) and Gabi, were at the getting ready site perfectly on time and ready to go. They were very professional and did an excellent job with every single lady. I can't say than you enough for making us all look so beautiful and keeping things on track!

ars later I booked them for my wedding in June 2019. They did a fantastic job on all my bridesmaids and myself. Each girl picked what they wanted and the stylists were able to do it flawlessly. I could not have been happier!

le. Holli honored my pricing and did my bridal hair and makeup instead. I was very impressed with the communication and customer service. Thank you Natasha and Holli!

Diana was our main artist, and she is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. I have never received more compliments on my hair, and to be honest, I've never seen more amazing hair, if I do say so myself. Her partner for the day, Elyse did an excellent job with make-up as well. All the girls were glowing and confident, thanks to these two talented ladies.

ttle over 12 months prior to my wedding) because I was thinking about doing the trial during my engagement photos. Someone new mixed things up and then the artist was on her way to my venue on my date but one year earlier and even though it was resolved quickly and impacted their staff more than me, they had waived the fee of my trial. That was unbelievably kind. During my trial, the junior artist did not show me what she was doing as she was doing it which made it a little stressful considering I didn’t like the braid and she kindly redid it and my bridal shower was later in the day. I thought the make up was fine but wasn’t super impressed. On the day of my wedding, my junior artist had an emergency and the owner, Holli had came to do my hair and make up along with the second junior artist for my bridesmaids. I was so glad Natasha had Holli come so I wasn’t stressed and I was so grateful Holli could make it. Holli did the most beautiful make up!! To save time because only two artists come no matter how many girls pay for hair and make up unless you pay for additional artists on top of that, I got my hair done by the junior artist that did not do my trial. She was incredible as well! It is hit or miss with the junior artists but do not count them out! Both artists were amazing! The timing of everything was great!

was exactly what I hoped for. You guys were awesome :)

hair do's for a large (25+ people) party. They were timely, friendly, accommodating and did an awesome job. I recommend them highly for your hair and makeup needs. Thank you❤️

to run smoothly. My artist for makeup and hair was estefany who was incredibly sweet and did an amazing job!

touch up services otherwise I would have been in really bad shape. That said, hair and makeup was gorgeous!!!!! Their coordinator was super helpful and always responsive! Would absolutely use them again but would set a timer half way to make sure we were on schedule.

he hair was absolutely gorgeous, and the women did a great job capturing the mid-century era we were looking for. I recommend them to anyone looking for a stress-free, beautiful job at a fair price.

all so happy. Natasha helped coordinate everything and was so helpful. We highly recommend them! Thank you for everything Kensington!
