I can't recommend this team enough! Pam, the owner, was wonderful to work with from the very beginning. She was incredibly helpful, communicated every step of the way, and always took the time to answer my questions and address any concerns, making the entire process stress-free.
Shirley did an amazing job on my hair, and Kely was incredible with my makeup. Even though I changed my hair and makeup slightly after my trial, they listened to exactly what I wanted and brought my vision to life. I felt so beautiful, and everything lasted all day and night. They also did most of my wedding party and mom, 6 girls. And everyone loved their look. They are truly talented, professional, and so easy to work with. I would recommend them to any bride!

I cannot recommend this hair and makeup team enough! From the very beginning, Pam was incredibly organized, responsive, and helpful throughout the planning process. She made scheduling and coordinating everything so easy, and I felt completely confident that we were in great hands.
On wedding day, Shirley did an amazing job with hair, and Ashley absolutely nailed everyone’s makeup. They listened to what each person wanted and created looks that made everyone feel beautiful while still looking like themselves. My bridal hair and makeup were exactly what I had envisioned, and they stayed flawless through the entire day and night—even with the summer heat, happy tears, and hours of dancing!
Not only was everyone incredibly talented, but they also worked so efficiently. They moved through hair and makeup much faster than we expected without ever making anyone feel rushed or sacrificing quality. We actually finished well ahead of schedule, which gave us extra time to relax, enjoy the morning together, and take even more getting-ready photos before leaving for the ceremony. That extra time was such a gift on such a busy day.
The entire team was warm, professional, and so calming to have around while we got ready. They kept everything running smoothly and helped make the morning such a fun and relaxing experience.
Thank you, Pam, Shirley, and Ashley, for helping me and my bridal party feel so beautiful and confident on one of the most important days of our lives. I am so grateful for everything you did and would recommend you to any future bride!

The booking process was simple and Pam was very communicative. I loved getting details early on of what I needed to do and when. I can't say enough great things about Kely and Vika! Book 'em now!

ere so kind, professional, and incredibly talented. What stood out the most was how willing they were to accommodate anything I wanted and make changes without hesitation. They really listened to my feedback and made sure I felt completely comfortable and confident with my final look.
My makeup came out flawless—exactly what I envisioned—and my hair was perfect, holding all day. I still felt like myself, just elevated, which was so important to me.
They also did an amazing job with my bridal party and kept everything running smoothly, which made the whole morning feel relaxed and fun instead of stressful.
I’m so grateful to have had Giana and Anny be part of my day. I would recommend them to anyone looking for a team that is not only talented but also genuinely cares about making you feel your best!

I cannot say enough amazing things about KiSSandMaKeUp!
Kely did our makeup and Vika did our hair!
Pamela, the owner, from the moment we started working together, was professio...
nal, responsive, and truly understood my vision for my wedding day.
I honestly did not even do a hair or makeup trial because of their reviews and they exceeded all of my expectations.
On the day of the wedding, Kely and Vika went above and beyond to make not only me, but my entire bridal party feel absolutely beautiful, confident, and taken care of. Their attention to detail, calm energy, and ability to keep everything running smoothly made such a difference in what could have been a stressful morning.
My hair and makeup were everything I had hoped for and more. It lasted perfectly all day and night, through happy tears, dancing, and everything in between. I felt like the best version of myself, which is exactly what every bride wants.
What really stood out was how many guests came up to me throughout the night to compliment not just my look, but my bridesmaids as well. So many people asked for their contact information and said they plan to use them for their own weddings and events in the future which speaks volumes!
If you are looking for a talented, reliable, and genuinely wonderful hair and makeup team, I would recommend KiSSandMaKeUp a thousand times over. They played such a huge role in making my wedding day feel as special and perfect as it did.

apart for me was how they handled an unexpected last-minute change requiring a different hair stylist to step in from that of my trial. Instead of it becoming a source of stress for me, Pam handled everything with such grace and complete reassurance that all would be okay. She communicated clearly and adjusted the plan seamlessly. The hair and makeup team, Kate and Shainna were flawless. They both listened to everything I wished for and elevated more vision to something even more beautiful. My look lasted all day and made me feel amazing. Their artistry is undeniable, and I couldn't be more thankful!

IL. Everyone wanted different styles of makeup, and she executed them all perfectly. Since I don't usually wear makeup, I tend to find professional makeup too heavy, but Kate made me feel beautiful with a more natural look, while doing full glam on my sister who loved it. Sandy also did an amazing job. Everyone complemented my hair, and everyone else loved how their own hair turned out (my mom in particular said her hair looked better than any other time she's gotten her hair done). The whole process with KiSSandMaKeUp was seamless and flexible. Truly, I could not recommend the whole team enough!

se the day of the wedding. Although I was very upset about having to find another team for my hair/makeup, I honestly think it worked out better! Sara and Kely were perfect, and I am beyond happy and grateful for the jobs they did. I wanted to feel like a princess on my wedding day and they 100% made that happen. It was not only easy to communicate with Pam, Sara and Kely, but they made the process feel effortless which I highly appreciated. Prices were more than fair, and it was such a nice touch to be able to have Sara and Kely come to my house morning of for services.
Do not pass up them for hair and make up!

Pam was very responsive and organized during the planning process. I really appreciated receiving an accurate and detailed quote up-front. Wedding planning is expensive and it took...
any guessing out. I had a great trial and that process helped me define the looks I was going for. I had a larger wedding party and including bridesmaids, parents, and a flower girl, there were over 10 of us needing hair and makeup services. The artists, Elena & Kate (makeup) and Emily & Anny (hair) were amazing. On time, professional, kind, and excellent at what they do. We finished slightly ahead of schedule somehow which was a feat given the size of the group. I've never felt more beautiful than I did on my wedding day, and isn't that what we all dream of?? Seriously, they were great and all of my favorite people looked and felt their best, too. I would totally recommend this team to anyone looking for hair & makeup services for their wedding or any other important event. Thank you!!!

DO NOT BOOK THIS SALON! Warning to all: this has been the most unprofessional experience of all my wedding vendors. I booked them after reading multiple positive reviews online. Up...
on booking, I included a $500 deposit for my trial hair and makeup. When I tried to book my appointment they had very limited availability. We finally agreed on a date and time that worked for both of us as I live in New York and would be traveling to get there.
When I arrived for my hair and makeup trial the salon was completely closed down. It is a hole in the wall and I was stuck waiting in the back parking lot for someone to show up. After I finally got a hold of the owner she claimed it was a “scheduling glitch” even though I had confirmed it on three separate occasions including an automated confirmation sent from them. The owner didn’t even bother to come and open the salon and make sure everything was set up for their bride. Just left it in the hands of the two artists that didn’t show up.
When I ultimately decided not to move forward their additional services for my wedding, months in advance, she refused to give me my $500 deposit for my trial back. Services not rendered. How could I trust them after they couldn’t even handle being organized enough for a hair and makeup trial? She was extremely rude in her email reply. NOT someone you want to trust with your wedding day. A nightmare.

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.
