These lovely women did hair and makeup for my wedding and I couldn’t have been any happier! They absolutely killed it!! Shaina did hair, and Adrienne did our makeup and on top of them making us feel beautiful the girls were fun and made everyone feel relaxed. Pam the owner is extremely helpful with any questions, she’s organized, good communication and fast to respond. 10/10 would recommend.
Adrienne also did a few tattoo coverups for me and it was like magic, could not tell there was a tattoo there!

I hired KiSSandMaKeUp to provide hair and makeup services for my mother-in-law on the morning of our wedding. She had a wonderful experience and her hair and makeup looked great and lasted all night! Pam was easy to work with to coordinate the details of the day!

I had Elena as my makeup artist and Shirley as my hair stylist for my wedding day and I would highly recommend both of them! They were both so nice and welcoming during my trial and did exactly what I was envisioning for my hair and makeup. On the morning of the wedding they were extremely efficient and finished hair and makeup for myself, 8 bridesmaids, and my mom ahead of schedule and everyone looked so beautiful! I was very happy with their services and would recommend them to anyone.

Pamela and her team were awesome to work with! I purchased a bridal package which I thought was a great value! I had my trial for my wedding and Shainna and Melissa were able to work with my inspiration and bring it to life perfectly! I also had my hair and makeup done for my bridal shower and they did such an awesome job and were so much fun to chat with and again perfectly captured what I was looking for. On my wedding day we also worked with Elena and Shirley. The whole team stayed on schedule and all the bridesmaids and moms hair and makeup looked awesome. Shainna and Melissa came to my first look and did multiple touch ups during photos which was extremely helpful on a very humid day. They then came to my wedding venue with me and did hair and makeup touchups on myself, my bridesmaids and both moms after photos, which made everyone look perfect for the ceremony! They were both such a fun and calming presence on a very busy day and my hair and makeup stayed flawless all day and all night! I can't recommend them enough!

Kissandmakeup was absolutely amazing to work with for my wedding! Diamond and Giana are incredibly talented hair and makeup artists. They truly listened to our vision and were so responsive to our preferences, even offering great suggestions to help us look our best all day long. Personally, I felt like an absolute queen on my wedding day, thanks to their artistry and care!

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Shirley (hair artist) and Elena (makeup artist)! They were absolutely incredible on my wedding day. From the start, they went above and beyond, working with me through trials to ensure everything was exactly how I envisioned. They truly listened to my preferences and gave thoughtful suggestions to create a look that felt like me, only elevated.
On the big day, their professionalism and calming presence were unmatched. They made the whole process stress-free and fun, and I felt completely confident in their hands.

I felt so calm with this vendor. Pamela responds promptly and gives very clear and precise information. The trial was amazing to have and allowed us time to pinpoint adjustments before the day of. I was recovering from food poisoning the day of my trial and my stylists still made me feel pretty by some magic. On the day of my makeup was flawless. My hair held up the entire day which is an extreme feat for my thin persnickety hair. The only thing I will say is my mom was not happy with the back of her hair. as it did not match the style she showed. She has extremely curly hair making it hard to style. Looking back we should have maybe done a trial on her hair as well before the day of to adjust any issues. Her hair still looked amazing in photos! Just something to consider if you have curly hair or people in your wedding have curly hair.

My bridesmaids and I had Adrienne as our makeup artist on my wedding day. She was on time and fun to have during our wedding prep. We all looked beautiful. I do not wear much makeup and wanted a more natural look. Kiss and Makeup was the second makeup studio I did a trial with. As I was not comfortable with how I looked during my first trial at another studio. Kiss and Makeup were very accommodating to my request to look natural looking. They will put on as much or little makeup as you would like! I am glad they were a part of my big day.

Pamela was extremely professional and very communicative and easy to work with throughout my wedding planning process. I was very pleased with the service that KiSSandMaKeUp provided to me and my bridal party. We had 8 girls getting their makeup done and Leanne was great. They made me feel at ease throughout the entire process (and morning of) and my makeup was flawless :).

If you are looking for a hair and makeup vendor for your wedding day - look no further. From start to finish Pam was friendly, extremely organized, and communicative. She flawlessly coordinated my services for the day and was flexible with adding on services. On the day of, Shaina (hair) and Melissa (makeup) arrived with such positive attitudes and were ready to get to work. They were ahead of schedule, super accommodating, and took extra care to make sure all of my girls felt beautiful. The results were stunning and I could not be happier with their talents. Overall, KiSSandMaKeUp is a top quality studio.

Adrienne and Lauren with the KiSSandMaKeUp team were fantastic! They are both so talented and their personalities also worked great with the whole bridal party while we were getting ready. I had many of my bridesmaids get some of the products Adrienne was using for makeup since they were so happy with their looks. Lauren also did an incredible job with hair -- I was especially concerned having extremely curly hair, but Lauren knew exactly what she was doing and did a great job with a curly up-do!

Believe me when I tell you, I've never felt more beautiful than on my wedding day. All thanks to Kate! My bridesmaids were all raving about how gorgeous we felt and the makeup lasted all day and night, even through the late night dancing. From the very beginning of this process, Pam was a total rockstar. Extremely helpful, accommodating, and responsive.

I was blown away by my hair/makeup services with Kiss and Makeup. Kely and Vika were INCREDIBLE and I cannot recommend them enough. They brought so much joy and calm on my wedding day morning and everyone was so happy with their hair and makeup. Truly such talented people, I can’t recommend these two artists enough. Pamela, the owner of the company, was also so helpful in accommodating me and answering all of my MANY questions/concerns during this process. I would certainly recommend this company to anyone!

I couldn't have asked for a better beauty team on the wedding day. Communication between the owner and my artist was flawless. My makeup trial was incredible. The makeup artist, Adrienne, listened to me and executed my vision 100%.
Every single person in my party was happy with their makeup on the wedding day. The looks were complete efficiently and quickly. Adrienne patiently waited for us to be done with pictures before completing our touchups. I did not expect that all all.
The service is wonderful. You will be truly happy with hiring this WOMAN owned business. :)

I am thrilled to share how wonderful my experience was with my makeup artist Elena and hairstylists Emily and Vika. From the moment we met, first for my elopement, then the trial and the big day, they were incredibly considerate and attentive, truly listening to what I envisioned. They made sure every detail was perfect, and their professionalism and warmth made me feel completely at ease. My makeup and hair were exactly what I had dreamed of—flawless and timeless. I couldn’t have asked for a better team to help me look and feel my best. Thank you so much for making my wedding day so special! Highly recommend!

Pam and her team at KiSSandMaKeUp are incredible!! The communication from setting up my trails to the wedding day was flawless. My trail was a little overwhelming as I do not normally get my hair and makeup done for events but her team made me feel super comfortable! On the wedding day, the team (Adrienne & Shainna) made my bridesmaids and I look stunning! They arrived on time and even finished early so we had some breathing room in our timeline. I highly recommend booking KiSSandMaKeUp for all your event /wedding needs!!

I can honestly say I felt so beautiful and confident on my wedding day thanks to Pam and her team of artists. First of all, I was eloping and only gave a month’s notice and they were extremely accommodating. Adrienne and Shirley worked together simultaneously and did exactly what I was asking for at the trial. On my big day, they confirmed everything I wanted and despite the few adjustments they did everything PERFECTLY. It was windy while we did outdoor photos but my hair withheld very well. I am so glad I found them! Do not hesitate! They are amazing at their craft.

I had the pleasure of having Elena as my makeup artist for my wedding and she was amazing! My makeup as well as all of my girls looked amazing! She worked diligently and was very polite. We started makeup at 7am and were done by 11am and 7 girls got there makeup done! My makeup didn't budge all day! There were a lot of tears shed and still my makeup looked great. I would book her again in a heartbeat.

Adrienne, make up stylist, and Emily, hair stylist, made me feel so special both during the trial and day of. They listened to my feedback after the trial and made sure I looked/felt how I wanted on the day of my wedding. Both stylists were timely, friendly and efficient. 10/10 recommend to anyone looking to feel beautiful and confident on their wedding day!

Not only did they do such an amazing job, but we had so much fun getting ready with them. From the first time I reached out for a trial, to the morning of my wedding day - they were very responsive and super accommodating, making sure everything was taken care of for a stress free day. Again - I can’t recommend them enough!!

Shainna did mine and my bridesmaids’ hair for my wedding, and we all LOVED our hairstyles! She gave us all exactly what we asked for, each style very different from the next, and they stayed in place all night. She was great to work with both in my trial and on the actual wedding day :) Pricing was very much in line with other companies I got quotes from.

Pam was amazing during the planning process! My makeup artist was Elena and she was super quick and made sure everyone’s looks fit them and it was what they wanted. My hair stylist was Brittany and she made sure that everyone’s hair looked amazing. When my sister chose an updo but her hair was too short and it didn’t look right Brittany made sure to let her know and they changed the style. They both made sure that they did 5 star work!

I have never felt as beautiful as I felt on my wedding day thanks to Shaina and Shirley. Shirley took my inspiration photo and quite literally copied and pasted it onto me. She recreated the EXACT look I wanted and I could not have been more in love with how my hair came out. I described to Shaina what I wanted for my makeup look and she made it happen! She did a literal perfect job with my makeup and was often checking in to make sure I liked it throughout the process. Both Shaina and Shirley are also so lovely to talk to and work with. I was able to send them updates after my trial on changes I wanted before the big day, and they were open and communicative. My overall experience with KiSSandMaKeUp was phenomenal. The booking and payment process was easy, they give you access to an online portal so you can make payments up until the day of, and they were so flexible when girls wanted to add on services last minute. I cannot stop reflecting on my photos from the wedding and just admiring their work. They did such an amazing job, and this business was amazing to work with. I cannot recommend enough!

Pam was very responsive and quick to accommodate a couple of my indecisive party members. Elena did our makeup and was so sweet and friendly. Both ladies were super responsive and flexible. I very rarely wear a full face of makeup and Elena was very patient with my hesitancy and questions at the trial. Everyone was very happy with their makeup. My MIL wanted a very light makeup look and Elena delivered. I used my personal hair dresser and Elena was great coordinating day of with her to get everyone done efficiently. And finish ahead of schedule! Also important, I got married just a few days ago in 80+ degree weather, I'm a sweater, and my makeup looked flawless all night!

KissandMakeUp provided make-up services for my bridal party and me on my wedding day and I can't say enough great things about them! My wedding was local, and I wanted to use my regular hair dresser so I was looking for a full-service company that would be flexible with the packages they offered.
When I reached out to Pam with my inquiry, she responded immediately! I shared with her some challenges that I have, due to very sensitive eyes, with lashes and she presented a variety of solutions. Pam really listened to me and what I wanted and needed and the quote she provided reflected that.
After I booked, Pam was great about reaching out proactively to schedule my trial. On the day of my trail, Pam had put together a whole schedule for my bridal party for day of which was so helpful!
Haniyah did a beautiful job with my make-up. She really listened to what I wanted and delivered a beautiful final product. On the day of the wedding Haniyah arrived right on time. We started a little bit late due to other factors but Haniyah kept the schedule right on time. She was kind, easy going, and never stressed. She stayed all the way through the first look with my dad for any final touch-ups.
If you are looking for a great make-up vendor, look no further than the team at KissandMakeUp!

Working with the team at KiSSandMaKeUp was an amazing experience! My sister (MOH) and I had hair styling and makeup done for my wedding day, and we both felt so beautiful! I’m normally very low key about styling my hair, if I do at all, and rarely wear makeup, and they were so helpful in assisting me to determine what type of look I wanted and knew just how to achieve it. Pamela is organized and responsive in coordinating. Makeup artist Haniyah and hair stylist Diamond are knowledgeable, efficient, and so, so talented. And my interactions with all three of them were warm and comfortable, which made the whole experience so wonderful. Thank you to the whole team!

Where do I begin! From the moment I became in contact KiSSandMaKeUp, I knew I had found the team that was going to be helping me get ready for my wedding. Randi was incredibly responsive and was able to coordinate appointments around my busy schedule. She was accommodating and even when I had to reschedule last minute, she was helpful and respectful. Pam was out of this world! One of the nicest people I have ever met! When my appointment had to be rescheduled due to her studio not having power, she quickly texted me and asked if I wanted to go to Shirley's home to do the trial! I jumped at the opportunity because I didn't want to miss out on my trial. Let me tell you, that was the most personable experience I have had with any hair artist. She was so welcome when my fiance, now husband, walked into her home. She offered my husband to sit and watch TV while doing my hair. We talked and laughed, it was as if she was a friend I hadnt seen in a while.
When I had makeup trial with Elena, I was the only one in the studio. She made me feel so comfortable as well. We discussed my skin care routine and how I wanted my makeup done and what I didnt want done. I didn't want fake eyelashes so she recommended getting a lash lift/tint, which I ended up booking that same day! She also recommended getting a facial before the wedding. Pam was there as well so she was able to help me book both of those appointments!
I can't say enough great things about Elena and Shirley, they are truly a dream team. On my wedding day, they came in, started up some music and got the ball rolling. The morning was filled with so much fun, my bridesmaids couldn't have been happier with how their hair/makeup turned out. My twin daughters looked so beautiful, Shirley and Elena were great with them and make them feel so pretty! My mom was in awe with how her hair and makeup came out and couldn't believe how great they were. Throughout the night everyone was complementing our hair and makeup and I was so happy, I knew I had picked the right team! Looking back at photos I remember so vividly the fun we had getting ready, it didn't feel like Shirley and Elena were there for a job, it felt like they were family!
I can’t thank you ladies enough for making my day so special!!

I was blown away at my bridal trial, I brought inspo photos for hair and makeup and they were matched identically and I was so in awe of their talent and precision! I left my trial feeling so beautiful and excited for the big day! Elena and Shirley are so talented and I am so glad that they were my glam team for the day. On the wedding morning they arrived on time and worked so efficiently we actually finished ahead of schedule. All of my bridesmaids also looked stunning and our hair and makeup lasted the entire day and night!

Pam and her entire team are amazing. They made my wedding look come true from my engagement photos, wedding shower to the big day. Adrianne and Shaina were my hair and makeup ladies and they were amazing. Very detailed oriented in making sure I achieved the perfect look I wanted. My mother in law fell and got a black eye right before the wedding and Adrianne was able to cover it up flawlessly - you could never tell! We are so thankful that she was able to do that. I cannot recommend KiSSand MaKeUp enough and can't wait to use them for other special events in the future.

Where to begin! I was having a hard time visualizing my hair and make-up styles before my Kiss and Makeup trial, but both Lauren (hair) and Elena (make-up) were warm and wonderful to work with (and I was delighted to meet the owner, Pam, at my trial too!).
For make-up, I was worried about being too “made up”, and the first look we tried with airbrushing wasn’t quite right for me. I started to worry that maybe I just didn’t want to get professional make-up done for the wedding, but Elena and Pam alleviated my fears and helped me figure out exactly what I was looking for. They couldn’t have been more supportive and repeatedly assured me that we would stay there until we got a look that I loved – which we did! They combined foundation with moisturizer to find the right shade with the right amount of coverage, and I LOVED IT!
For my hair, I loved the updo at the trial but then changed my mind about wanting my hair up for my wedding day. Pam and Lauren worked with me to book another trial and sat with me while we experimented with different levels of half-up and half-down until we found the one I loved! Pam even texted me pictures after so I could think about it more (which took a lot of pressure off of this indecisive bride!).
Pam and Randi (Pam’s exceptional and highly responsive assistant) were a dream to work with leading up to the wedding. They are a well-oiled machine: they exclusively do special events and weddings so you’re working with pros here! Pam even started a text chain with my stylists and me to stay in touch and make sure everything runs smoothly. Flash forward to the wedding day: Lauren and Elena were an absolute blast to spend the morning with and my hair and make-up were beyond what I could have imagined!
I can’t recommend Kiss and Makeup highly enough, especially if you’re on the fence about getting hair or make-up done or unsure what you’re looking for! They will work with you until you find just the right style for you! I’m eternally grateful to Randi, Pam, Lauren, and Elena for making me look and feel so beautiful (and like myself!) on my wedding day!

I booked KissAndMakeUp to do hair for me, my 3 bridesmaids, and my mom. Randi made the booking process very straightforward and answered all of my questions very quickly, and my stylist, Shainna, did an amazing job on everyone’s hair! On the day of my trial, I was having trouble getting the picture of what I wanted to load on my phone, and Shainna was able to produce exactly what I wanted from a tiny thumbnail picture. On my wedding day, everyone's styles held all day, and Shainna was so patient with my mom, who kept changing her mind about her style day-of. Thank you Shainna and KissAndMakeUp--you really are the best!!

KiSSandMaKeUp was absolutely amazing!! Hands down, I think they are some of the best hair and makeup artists I've seen. Myself and my entire bridal party received non stop compliments all night! Ashley made my makeup and skin look flawless, and Sara totally nailed the look I wanted for my hair (even after I changed it from what I wanted in my bridal trial!) The team here is incredibly easy to work with, and so responsive. Would recommend again and again!

The team at KiSSandMaKeUp is amazing! Everyone was so professional and answered all of my questions before we committed and I am so happy that we went with them. Pam kept in touch throughout the whole process and Randi was great at scheduling my trials around my crazy work schedule and living out of town. Vanessa did our makeup and Jackie did everyone's hair, and let me just say that they did an amazing job on everyone! I loved how everything came out and both my hair and makeup lasted through the whole day. I would definitely recommend the team at KiSSandMaKeUp if you are looking for someone for your wedding!

I booked KissAndMakeUp to do everyone’s hair for my August 2022 wedding and I could not be happier I went with them!! They were so responsive and accommodating when I kept having to change how many people wanted their hair done. The stylist I had was Shirley and she is nothing short of talented!!! Not only is she really good at hair styles, but I was shocked at how quick and efficient she was too. I highly recommend her!!

I had Vanessa do my makeup for my wedding day and she did an amazing job! I remember showing her an inspiration picture during my trial, and it was everything I wanted and more! She and Adrienne also made my bridal party look absolutely beautiful on the wedding day! Both ladies were so professional and made all of us feel so comfortable throughout the entire day. I would highly recommend them!

KiSSandMaKeUp did a phenomenal job for my wedding day glam! I had Vanessa for makeup and Shirley for hair. I showed them pictures of what I wanted and they killed it!! My hair and makeup looked flawless and literally lasted alll night long. I felt so gorgeous. My bridesmaids also look so stunning! Additionally, Vanessa and Shirley are so amazing at what they do, that we were done early!! I'm so happy I worked with kissandmakeup--Vanessa and Shirley are amazing artists!

I had the absolute best experience with kissandmakeup. Everything from the initial hair/makeup trial, the communication before the big day to the actual day was seamless. I couldn’t have been happier with the way my makeup came out (done by Elena). I got so many compliments and I’ve never felt more beautiful. My bridesmaids were also extremely happy with their makeup as well. My hair was incredible. I decided to go a different direction than what we did at my trial and it came out SO beautiful. Shainna did my hair and it was exactly what I envisioned. I can’t recommend them enough for your hair/makeup for your wedding.
