I cannot say enough good things about Nora's work. I thought I was happy with the trial makeup and then she blew it out of the water day-of. It could not have been more perfect. It was me, but glam af!! My bridal party all night long kept asking if I needed touch-ups and the answer was no every time. The makeup stayed perfect the whole night. I appreciated her guidance with the extensions. My hair is absolutely perfect in photos. But mostly I appreciated her kind and reassuring presence. She brought me peace and joy on my wedding day. We had so much fun it felt like she another member of the bridal party! The house felt empty after she left. Thank you Nora for such a special day. You’re the best!!!

The Kiss & Makeup team did an amazing job! Nora did both my trial and glam on my wedding day. She knew exactly what my vision was and both my trial+wedding day glam were flawless! Her team also did an incredible job on my bridesmaids. Everyone loved their hair and make up services and it lasted the entire wedding night. Highly recommend having Kiss & Makeup on your wedding day.

At first I was hesitant as I didn’t do a make up trial before my wedding. Nora was so professional and reassured me we would have optimal time to accomplish the look I wanted. Nora went above and beyond my expectations and I loved her work and the person she is. Don’t make the mistake of not choosing kiss hair and make up for your wedding. They are the best around!

Nora and Nikki are extremely talented at what they do! I am so glad that I booked their business for hair and makeup. Nora is prompt with all her responses. They both listen to what it is that you want and ensure you’re happy before leaving. I have fine hair so Nikki suggested buying extensions to make my updo look fuller. Good thing I did because she made my hair look better than it ever has before! Nora has a way of making you look like a walking Instagram filter. She is incredibly skilled at doing makeup! I was obsessed with how my eyes turned out. You won’t regret booking their service for your wedding day as they’ll make you look picture-perfect!

Absolutely LOVED working with Nora and Nikki!!! Any correspondence with them was always prompt and had all the information I needed. Finding the right hair and makeup team was really important to me because you want to feel absolutely beautiful and confident on your wedding day, but also make sure you have fun doing it. They were SO FAST getting all eight of us ready on my wedding day and yet it really felt like they took their time and paid attention to detail while you were in their chair. I have never felt more beautiful than my wedding day and it's all thanks to them. My bridesmaids and groomswoman had a blast with them as well and really helped keep the energy up during the getting ready process. Once you book them, they really take care of the rest! They reached out to schedule my trial, accommodated my schedule requests, and I had absolutely nothing to worry about. Don't wait and book them now!!

Nora and her team did an exceptional job with makeup for myself and my bridal party. Kiss and Makeup blew away my expectations with great communication and their makeup skills. They are a company you can rely on and did a great job achieving my desired makeup looks. This company books out far in advance, so don't hesitate on booking because you will not be disappointed! I will book again with them for my future events.

LOVE. LOVE. LOVE. their work and them! I have to admit...I was going to do my hair and makeup myself for my wedding day because I didn’t find anyone my style but also because I didn't want to look like anyone but myself and was so nervous to look bad! I mean, come on, it's the day where you want to be most beautiful marrying the love of your life! So, I did my research and asked around - but didn't really feel right with anyone. Well, I found Nora and Nikki by accident and THANK GOD I did. From the second I spoke to Nora, it was like speaking to a best girlfriend. She is SO sweet and so very talented. I loved the products she used, her approach to get to know me, my style(day to day and what I do when I get dressed up), and my skin type. She asks the right questions and is so open to hearing what you like/don't like. She gives great skincare and makeup tips too! She has great vibes and I trusted her. Well, She delivered. Nikki killed it with my hair. It was straight out of Pinterest! I have never felt more beautiful and doubt I ever will than I did on my wedding day. She has a great eye for makeup and made me look like a va va voom/amped up version of myself. I can't rave enough about her and you should stop looking now - Hire these girls and you won't regret it - they do an incredible job and will take care of you - plus you will want to be them to be your friend for life.

Nora and Nikki did an amazing job doing hair and makeup for my bridal look and my bridesmaids and mothers look.
Since I am rarely in Michigan due to my job, they were extremely accommodating and worked within my schedule to do my trial. Additionally, they not only braved a winter storm for me, but they still finished ahead of schedule, and did a fenominal job!
Cannot recommend this team enough!

I couldn’t be happier with Nora and her services. I have never met anyone with as much knowledge and talent as her when it comes to hair&makeup. She is extremely professional, punctual, and easy to work with. I trusted her the moment I met her & she did not disappoint. She will do whatever she needs to do to ensure your special day is as smooth as possible. I’ll continue to recommend her to all my family and friends!

My wedding was in December 2022, but I booked with Kiss & Makeup over a year in advance (November 2021). I was excited because their work really speaks for itself in their photos (I mean… WOW). I couldn’t have imagined working with anyone else!
Fast forward to this year and my experience was absolutely terrible. I never thought I would be experiencing the nightmare of having to find someone new for hair and makeup services 1 month before my wedding, but that’s exactly what happened.
I wanted to schedule my hair and makeup trial in the summer of 2022 so I could see if I liked what I thought I wanted to do for my wedding day (and still have time if I needed another trial). I was told they only do trials one month in advance and that I needed to wait. That’s what I did. At the trial, they did my hair and makeup at the same time which made me feel like they were trying to just rush me in and out. We went over some of the details of my wedding and I informed them that we needed to be finished at 11:30AM instead of 12:30PM (because our wedding ceremony start time changed to 1PM). I also informed them that we would be getting ready at my parents’ house in Holly (close to Davisburg) instead of Clarkston. The next day Nora informed me that “we have two options- For an 11:30 am finish time, we can complete 9 people. Or to complete 10 people, we will need a 12 pm finish time.” Therefore, I either needed to push back the completion time or I needed to ask a bridesmaid to not get hair/makeup services. This was frustrating to me because when I booked in November 2021, Nora had agreed to 12 people (which is also on the contract) and had already informed me that there wasn’t enough time to include my sister-in-laws in the hair/makeup services (so we had already reduced the number to 10). Come to find out there is something on her website (nowhere in the contract) that says she will not start any earlier than 7:30am. I must have missed this, but moral of the story, if you have an early ceremony, I would definitely avoid Kiss & Makeup.
A few other things…
I had to make plans to move my parents’ pets to another location on the day of the wedding, which would have been fine, but I was not able to cancel the accommodation when Nora suggested to me that I should probably try to find someone closer to my location for my hair/makeup services. I was going to pay the travel fee either way, so it was frustrating that she was not willing to accommodate where we would be getting ready (albeit, the location changed from Clarkston to Holly). I requested my deposit back since they would not be holding up their end of the contract and made the suggestion that I find someone else to work with - to which I have received no response.
That being said, I booked with someone else and I am very glad I did. Save yourself the trouble and do not book Kiss & Makeup from the beginning.
Response from Kiss & Makeup - On Location Hair and Makeup on 01/09/2023
Hi Kristin,
I am so sorry that you feel this way about us. At the time of booking, we had...
you contracted to a 1 pm finish time. At your trial, you informed us about the change of finish time to 11:30 am. This subtracts an hour and a half from our getting ready timeline. At the trial, you also informed us that you had changed your getting-ready location, which changes our commute. Your new location was an hour and 20 minutes from us, which was not a problem at all which we communicated about in our emails. We typically do not start before 7:30 am, but we said we can start at 7 am for you.
At the time of booking, we stated to you that 10 is our maximum headcount, and you stated that the other two can be completed after everyone else! We then said, of course, we can make it works as it gives us extra time to complete them after we have completed the bridal party. At the trial, you removed them from your headcount.
Again, we had never stated that we were not willing to accommodate your new getting-ready location. We stated that we could complete the 9 people in the timeline that you gave us to work with. I also stated that we always finish early and will most likely be able to accommodate all 10 people. I also tried to schedule a call with you to figure this out on the phone rather than through email, but we never heard back from you.
Also, you never told us that you wanted to do your trial in the summer. If you had a preference for the timeline of your trial, we would have scheduled it early for you as we do for many of our clients!
We wish we could have been a part of your special day and I am sorry that you had miscommunications about this. We take lots of pride in our work and our brides, so I am very surprised that you felt this way as I am still trying to make this right for you.

Hair and makeup were on point. I looked the perfect mix of natural glam, it stayed put allll night through sweating and dancing.
Hair and makeup were very efficient. We finished an hour early and it made the morning that much more relaxing.
We talked and laughed like we have known the girls our whole life. I couldn't say enough amazing things about Nora and Nicki.
Thank you girls!

Nora did my bridal makeup and she and Nikki did the bridal party hair and makeup also. They did an amazing job and were very efficient. We finished ahead of scheduled which made for a very smooth wedding day! My makeup was everything I had hoped for on my wedding day. I felt beautiful and received many compliments! My mom and mother-in-law were uneasy about having their makeup done as they typically do not wear much, but Nora enhanced their beauty without going over the top and they both loved the result. In addition to the beautiful work they created for everyone, Nora was always great at communicating and was very easy to work with. I had a trial about a month before and she also created an itinerary to avoid any day-of chaos. Very grateful to have these ladies glam up my girls and I on such a special day!

I am a wedding coordinator who has worked with Kiss & Makeup a few times now. They were recently the beauty team for a 7/23/21 wedding and let me tell you, they are a well-oiled machine! As the person who creates the master timeline for a couple's wedding, it is crucial that their day gets off on the right pace, and that starts with the hair/makeup team. These ladies moved along the bridesmaids, bride and mom so quickly and efficiently that they were able to relax and enjoy the day since they weren't rushed and running behind. Not to mention, they all looked stunning when they arrived at the venue and I saw them! I highly recommend Kiss & Makeup and will continue to recommend them to my clients.

Kiss & Makeup is the glam team you want. Because we were planning through COVID (over 2 years), many details changed. But Nora was always responsive and professional. On wedding day, the team was SO efficient and were great at what they do - my bridesmaids and I looked stunning! So many compliments were given! As an Asian American, it's usually difficult to find someone who knows how to work with our hair and features. But they absolutely crushed it, even without a trial (bc of COVID restrictions at the time). So grateful I found Kiss & Makeup!

Ever wanted to look like a celebrity/queen/magical unicorn human but in one of those “I woke up like this” ways? Want to make the easiest decision of your wedding planning chaos? THEN HIRE KISS & MAKEUP FOR YOUR WEDDING MAKEUP. I can not count the amount of compliments my bridesmaids and I all got at my wedding, how perfect it was for each girl, and how perfect it stayed despite insane amounts of dancing. Not only is the makeup fabulous but Nora is an absolute dream of a person to work with. Do yourself a favor and hire them NOW!

Now that I finally have my head above water, I just wanted to take a moment to thank you, and your entire staff for the most amazing experience with hair and makeup for my daughter Shelby's wedding on 4-3-21. We were truly blown away by how beautiful you made us all look, and specially Shelby! She was absolutely stunning! Everyone commented on how beautiful we all looked as we walked into the room and they said that Shelby was breathtaking. Thank you for making us all feel so special!!
From our first email with you, to the first meeting and beyond you made the entire process wonderful. ( Even during covid) You and the entire staff went above and beyond. Truly everything was perfect! Every detail was covered and absolutely not one problem or issue! We had so much fun with the entire experience!
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for making the wedding picture perfect and the experience one we will always remember.

It was wonderful working with Kiss and Makeup. They are not just an extremely talented hair and makeup team, they also have a calming and caring presence and truly want to make brides and their people happy. Nora is so passionate about her work and loves what she does. She's flexible, communicative, and stunning. My mother-in-law decided two days before the wedding (after Nora had already made our hair and makeup schedule several weeks prior) that she wanted her hair and makeup done as well. Nora made it work and acted like it was no big deal even though it felt like a big deal to me. On the wedding day, they stuck to their schedule and made everyone feel so special and had taken care of. Everyone couldn't stop raving about how amazing they were and how fantastic they looked. Nora was sociable and sweet towards all of us hanging out in the bridal suite. And as for my hair and makeup - we decided to kick my makeup up a few notches from the trial run - and I absolutely loved the added drama. She really knows what she's doing and she's going to make sure you and your ladies love your looks.

Nora and her team were excellent. I had been to two different hair and makeup artists before I found her, and not being impressed by either of them, I was so happy when I found Kiss & Makeup. They did my hair & makeup exactly as I was envisioning, and my bridesmaids' hair and makeup, as well as several sisters and in laws, flawlessly. Everyone looked gorgeous, their hair and makeup complimented their features without overpowering them. The team was also incredibly organized, providing me with a timeline and schedule beforehand so that each person knew when they were getting their hair and makeup done, and with whom. The whole morning went by seamlessly and perfectly on time, with great execution by the hair and makeup team.

Nora helped make my dream bridal look a reality for my wedding this past February. I explained my vision of a romantic and ethereal bride which she achieved perfectly. My bridesmaids and Mom’s also loved their makeup. Nora uses all of the best makeup products and techniques and manages to achieve a look that is never cakey or overdone. She is extremely professional and provides detailed timelines for you and your bridal party for your wedding day. I particularly loved her because she knows exactly how to enhance your natural beauty so that you still look like yourself but glammm in the most gorgeous way.

Nora is an absolute ROCKSTAR! I contacted her with no easy feat—7 bridesmaids, 2 mothers, and a bride. Without hesitation, she fully embraced our crew and made us all look like absolute celebrities. We also ended up being finished early for some extra pictures! Nora was incredibly helpful and supportive throughout the whole process, and we loved being glammed up. Nora made me look absolutely stunning—I was honestly shocked when I saw my makeup in the mirror because I looked so damn good. My hair and makeup lasted all day and night (until I made my husband help me take it off at 2AM)! She is such a sweet soul and she provides priceless service. Look no further for a hair and makeup team, you have found the best in the world!
