Keri is amazing!!! My makeup and hair came out so beautiful for my wedding. I felt like such a princess. I literally hate color on my lips so much but she made me like it! She listened to any changes I wanted to make after my trial to achieve my dream look and even helped me make sure my skincare routine leading up would ensure good application day of. All of my bridesmaids and my mom loved their hair and makeup as well. She has knowledge of all skin types and takes everyones preferences into consideration. She’s punctual, responsive, sweet as can be, and reasonably priced for the quality of work that she provides. I could not recommend her more!! A must book for any event.

I have never felt more beautiful! Keri and her assistant Sam were attentive and really made myself and my bridal party feel gorgeous. They were professional, on time, communicative and VERY talented. They produced beautiful work on our group with various skin tones and textures. The hair and make up lasted all day and night through wind, tears and some sweat. I would love to book their services again for another event.

Surpassed my expectations!!
I couldn't have asked for a better experience on my wedding day thanks to Keri! She listened attentively to my ideas and executed them flawlessly. My hair stayed beautifully styled all day long, and my makeup was exactly what I envisioned even without a trial (out of state bride)… and in 90+ degree weather. She was not only professional but also calming and supportive. I received so many compliments from guests about how stunning I looked, and it's all thanks to her talent and expertise. I highly recommend her to any bride looking for exceptional beauty services on their special day!

Keri was able to accommodate me pretty close to my wedding date and was nothing but helpful and amazing. Her makeup is flawless and hair was exactly what I envisioned. She is very good at eye makeup and eyebrows. She brought an assistant with her as well who was very kind to my mom whose never gotten her makeup done and she loved it! Book her, you won’t be disappointed.

Keri did my hair and makeup for my wedding and she did an excellent job! She listened to what I wanted and it was even better than I expected! I have very fine hair, which makes it difficult to hold curl and stay in place, but my hair stayed looking great all day and evening! She is also very reasonably priced. I would definitely recommend her!!

Thank you Keri for making me beautiful and also helping me with headshots for my future business page! My eye make up and brows were my favorite part of my face. I highly recommend Keri because she is very professional when it comes to her clients. She's very punctual and works efficiently. Her make up application matched my skin tone so well and lasted all day, more than I can say when I do my own make up. I will definitely be booking with Keri again for future needs to come!
