I cannot say enough about Kim 🩷 She is beyond talented with hair and makeup but also just a pleasure to be around. I went with the elite bridal package and all I can say is if this works with your budget DO IT! Kim was glued to my side from the moment we got to the venue until after our grand entrance. She would touch up my hair and makeup (oh so many times! 🫶🏼) fluff my train in pictures, fan me in the AZ heat haha, helped bustle my dress and did a quick updo after the grand entrance. She even snapped a few candid photos of the day and sent them to me later which was so thoughtful. It was worth every penny to have someone focusing on how you’re going to look in pictures. I also just really enjoyed having her around as part of the day. She is so kind and friendly. It was such a pleasure to work with Kim and I am so grateful for the amazing job she did for me and my bridal party 🩷🩷😂
Absolutely enjoyed working with Kim! She was so sweet, professional and helpful from the trial to the day of the wedding. Thoroughly enjoyed working with her as she was fun and upbeat. l sincerely appreciated her assistance with ensuring my makeup and hair looked fantastic for the photos and video on the wedding. Very glad I had her come to the venue after getting me ready and being there till the reception. She worked very well and even assisted my other vendors on the day of the wedding. She was attentive to what seemed like every detail to ensure I looked amazing as well as my husband. I'd highly recommend having her on your big day!!
If you're looking for the whole beauty package, look no further, you've found the best in the game!! Kim and her team are magicians with makeup brushes and curling wands. I hired Kim to do hair and makeup for myself, 6 bridesmaids, my mother, my nana, and my flower girls. We all loved Kim and her team, they're very professional while also being fun! I did my trial before a photo shoot and those pictures came out so wonderful, I knew I would look flawless in my wedding pictures, thanks to Kim. I booked her "Elite Bridal Package" which included touchups and help styling the photos until we entered the reception. Not only did Kim fix my happy tear stained face, she also held my bouquet for me and helped carry my train! Kim is a dream come true to work with, I cannot recommend her enough!!
Hair and makeup turned out amazing on me and all of my girls! Kim even did airbrush on my man of honor so he could be included in the fun! :)
Do not bother with looking into anyone else. Kim and her team are such a steal! She spent almost my entire wedding day with me. She was organized, creating a timeline for my huge party to get ready. They started in the morning with my bridesmaids, mothers, grandmothers etc. Some of my party were super picky and high maintenance, and they were super patient with them all (even after we were in the picture taking portion of our day!!!). Kim worked with me specifically. We did a trial run a few months before, and everything turned out perfectly the day of. She did a very intricate braid as well as natural stunning make up! She includes airbrush and eyelashes in her price which is unique compared to most make up artists I've worked with for other people's weddings. She stayed with me throughout the ceremony and through all the pictures doing touch ups/fixing my hair as needed. She even took pictures of me throughout the day that she sent me that night! Kim was absolutely fabulous to work with. It is honestly is impossible to list all the positive things about working with Kim. I loved working with her, and she really made my day even better!
I can not even begin to express how lucky I was to find KLM Artistry when I did. Kim and Jessie were BEYOND amazing. Originally I had contracted with another company to do mine and my bridesmaids hair and makeup the day of the wedding. A month before my wedding, the company went out of business, leaving me scrambling to find another company who was willing to travel and book us in such a short amount of time. Kim was fantastic, reasonably priced and so unbelievably talented. My hair and makeup the day of was simply perfect. I went with her Elite bridal package in which she stayed during the ceremony and after to touch up hair and makeup for pictures. She assisted with positioning my dress for photos and even helped be bustle my dress before the grand entrance. She was beyond amazing and made everything about the day go so much smoother. I HIGHLY recommend her services, she was unbelievable!
Kim and her assistant did an absolutely stellar job. I booked a trial with her about a month out from the big day and she was super receptive to my ideas, plus I looked perfect for the engagement shoot. She arrived bright and early at my hotel suite the morning of the wedding and worked tirelessly for hours so my five bridesmaids and I would look exactly how we wanted! We especially appreciated the straightforward and reasonable pricing menu which allowed each girl to choose how much she wanted to spend in advance. Of course, I was just thrilled with how my look turned out as it was carefully planned (and very well executed), but what impressed me even more was how Kim and her helper were able to make up my friends in a way that looked and felt totally natural for each of them. The wedding had a color palette but each bridesmaid picked her own dress, so I was delighted that the hair and makeup mirrored that sense of embracing everyone's individuality. They listened attentively and pulled off looks ranging from soft, natural and dewy for the girls who don't wear makeup regularly to edgy and fierce for my winged liner and bold lip lovers, and best of all, it was totally cohesive. One of the girls even said she liked her makeup for my wedding better than for her own! Everything lasted the whole night and the pictures are stunning. Highly recommend this talented artist for a stress-free wedding hair and makeup experience! Thank you!
Kim was amazing! She helped to keep me calm and was genuinely lovely to talk with - an awesome thing since we ended up spending a solid 8 hours together between getting ready and working together onsite. I opted for the Elite package, which is full hair and makeup and Kim also comes to the venue to help do touch ups and photo styling. This was the absolute best thing I spent money on for my wedding. I knew I would cry, but I had no idea I would cry so much! Touch ups were critical and I am so happy with how my photos turned out with her assistance. You will also love how communicative she is. There were a few times I'd called at an inconvenient time for her and she texted to set up a time to chat. I cannot say enough great things about her. You will not regret choosing her for your hair and makeup!
Kim is very talented and helped make my wedding day amazing. She did my hair and makeup as well my bridesmaids and flower girls’ hair. She listened to what I wanted and was able to create my vision. She is organized, detailed and strives for perfection. I was so happy with how gorgeous she did my hair and makeup. She used an airbrush for my makeup which was amazing. My bridesmaids and flower girls had different lengths and types of hair and she was easily able to work with all these variations. She did fake eye lashes for me which looked amazing. She had all different types and sizes and placed them on my eyes perfectly. In addition, Kim is so personable and kind. After finishing the last hairdo, she helped us get out the door to leave for the ceremony and made sure we had everything we needed, which was greatly appreciated. KLM Artistry is a class act.
Kim did an amazing job. She is super friendly and accommodating. She took everything in stride and made my hair and makeup look fabulous.
Kim and Jessie did an amazing job on hair and make-up for my bridesmaids and me! They were very accommodating and everyone was extremely happy with their services. It was a large group of 8 people and went so smoothly and on time! Thank you, Kim and Jessie for doing such an amazing job!
TLDR; I hired Kim to do my hair and makeup, and bridal party's makeup, for the day of my wedding back in August. I CANNOT RECOMMEND KIM ENOUGH! Kim is the cream of the crop for bridal hair and makeup. You will not find anyone more professional, organized, experienced and easy-going!
I contacted Kim back in January when looking for hair and makeup. We set up a consultation at her studio in Scottsdale, which was conveniently located and very clean! We tried several different looks and ultimately landed on my perfect look. I booked her instantly!
On the day of my wedding, Kim showed up early and prepared. She was organized, professional, and kept me and my mom relaxed when we were getting emotional or stressed about wedding logistics. My hair turned out absolutely beautifully, and I've never had makeup so natural-looking (vs. the industry-standard heavy contouring) and flattering to MY features. She catered my makeup to my natural features instead of trying to cover them up, like most makeup artists do. She made me look and feel stunning, which is what every bride deserves on her wedding day.
I also want to mention her experience. Many hair and makeup artists out there are girls who have learned everything they know from Youtube video tutorials. Kim has over 20 years of experience in the industry, and she saved my butt several times throughout the day with her great advice. To give an example, I wanted to go with a light (almost nude) lipstick shade, but she advised that I go just a bit bolder so the color would really pick up in the photographs. SHE WAS RIGHT! When we got our photos from our photographer, there were filters applied that took much of the color out. Luckily because of Kim's suggestion, my lipstick looked great in person AND the photographs! I can't imagine what I would have looked like in the photos if I hadn't listened to her advice.
Brides - book KLM Artistry. You won't be disappointed!!
Kim did a great job. She made me feel so beautiful on my wedding day. I will recommend her in the future for hair and makeup.
Kim Macchiaroli of KLM Artistry is a master at her craft. AWESOME hair and makeup! I could not recommend her more!
I cannot say enough what a great job Kim did not only with my hair and makeup but with all of the ladies that were in the room with me! Before and after the wedding Kim did an amazing job helping me with my dress along with the photographers, to the point where my husband mentioned how awesome she was! I would recommend Kim any day for your upcoming wedding or event! Thanks for everything again Kim!
Kim is top notch!! I had given Kim pictures of what I wanted my wedding look to be and she made it come to life and exceeded my expectations!! I would highly recommend Kim...amazing work!!
I cannot give enough praise to KLM Artistry. I went to an open house at my wedding venue and got to see a 'bride' with hair and makeup done and it was flawless. At our trial, I knew what I wanted in terms of hair and makeup but Kim was also great with recommendations. On my wedding day she helped make me feel so beautiful. Her attention to detail and making sure every brushstroke and curl was in its proper place was great. I would highly recommend her to any bride in the greater Phoenix area. Thanks Kim!
I loved Kim and was thrilled with my hair and makeup! She is very personable and put me at ease by listening carefully to what I wanted. She gave me the exact look I was going for- natural and laid back but more amped up than usual. :) She also did my mom and sister who loved their looks too! I would highly recommend her!
I had my wedding on October 20th, 2016. Kim went above and beyond! The girls' hair and make up came out AMAZING! She also made my nieces' feel special, I could not get over how cute they looked. She made my day so easy, she was not only on top of hair and make up, but she also helped out when my sister's dress needed to be taken in a little, not only that, but she helped comfort me when I was overwhelmed with emotions. To anyone looking to book her, rest assured that you are in good hands! LOVE LOVE LOVE!!
Kim and her assistant were incredible! They arrived early and had everything prepared to make us all look beautiful. I had four bridesmaids who had makeup done and three who had hair done. We all looked wonderful!
Kim was so upbeat and personal. I felt like we had another friend in the room getting ready for the wedding. She listened to my opinions and was attentive.
We did a trial run before the wedding so we could make sure we were on the same page. Everything turned out awesome.
I HIGHLY recommend KLM Artistry. Five stars!!!!!
Kim was amazing! We came to the venue on my wedding day an hour before the bridal suite was open. But that didn't stop Kim from getting her job done. She found an outlet and started working on my bridesmaids hair! I would highly recommend the elite package. It includes bridal hair and makeup as well as one other person's hair and makeup and she will stay until the reception to help with any touch ups during pictures. Everyone's hair and makeup looked beautiful. Thank you Kim!
I purchased Kim's Elite Bridal Package with services for myself, my mom, and two bridesmaids. It was great to have touch-ups throughout the day as well as an extra hand for the photographer/videographer (unexpected and above and beyond!). She took the time to get my desired hair and makeup look down at the trial and was well prepared for the day of. I would highly recommend KLM Artistry!
I could not have asked for a better artist. Not only that, she was flexible enough a few days before the wedding to add in another hairstyle. She was also very willing and available for the trials!
Highly highly recommended!!! I definitely suggest getting the package where she is around during photo's for makeup, dress fluffing, and photographer assistance.
FANTASTIC!!
Kim did my hair and make up one week for my nephew's wedding and then the next week for my son's wedding. I had no idea what I wanted, but she had perfect suggestions for both occasions. She encouraged me to try wispy lashes (for the first time) for my son's wedding. I loved them! They made my eyes pop! She is friendly and personable and yet very caring and professional. She wants you to be happy, but more importantly, she doesn't finish until she is happy with the result also.
My new daughter in love also had her hair and make up done both times. She had specific ideas and pictures she wanted to try. The first time was a "trial" for her wedding day and Kim coordinated it so she could wear her "trial" with a "twist" so as not to spoil the surprise to my nephew's wedding. Kim came to my daughter in law's bridal suite on her wedding day. My daughter in law had changed her mind about her hair and Kim was flexible in coming up with a new plan and did her hair just the way she wanted. She goes the extra mile with a smile for her clients. My daughter also had her hair done for her brother's wedding and was very pleased also. Our hair and make up lasted the night through the lively reception! Choose her, you won't be sorry!
Kim is amazing! At first I was unsure what package to pick and in the end I went with the ultimate bride package which includes hair and makeup and Kim staying until the reception. I am so glad I did. Kim was by my side all day make sure I looked beautiful. She was running around helping my bridal party, family and friends. She was so easy to work with and has a great personality and is very "go with the flow," which is a must for wedding day! She helped so much during our photos after the ceremony, fixing my dress, bringing me water so I was not dehydrated, reapplying lipgloss, etc. I literally could not imagine my day without Kim! She is the best and well worth the cost.
Kim saved my wedding day!! I did the one thing a bride should never do and had a new facial treatment the week before my wedding. Of course, I broke out worse than I ever had in my life. Kim made my skin look absolutely flawless. No one could tell!! And my photos were stunning. Kim was also very easy to be around and made everyone so comfortable. She felt like one of the girls helping us to get ready. She also did my makeup and hair for my engagement photos and they were perfect. The makeup felt light and stayed put throughout both the wedding and engagement photos! I never wear liquid foundation so I was nervous about having my makeup done. I also went to Kim with a very soecific idea for my hair for my engagement shoot. After seeing it done, I realized it was better as an idea. I hesitated when Kim asked me what I thought because it really was exactly what I wanted and she immediately whipped into action. "Nope," she said and made a suggestion and a few changes and it was perfect. I told her she didn't have to make any changes, but she knew it wasn't right and cared enough to make sure I loved it. I really appreciated that she took that extra time to make sure I felt perfect. She really is who you'd hope to have with you on the day you want to look your most beautiful. Also, my mom and I had both given Kim a check for my mom's hair and makeup without realizing it, and Kim contacted us to let us know. We really wouldn't have known if Kim hadn't drawn our attention to it. I think that speaks volumes about her character. I truly could not be happier with KLM Artistry.
Kim is an incredible artist, her experience, talent and professionalism shines through in every aspect of her work. Her attention to detail made my wedding photos flawless. I came to her with only a picture and no true idea of what I wanted and she blew me away w my results. Her communication was incredible, fast responses and thorough answers all my questions. I did my trial run the night before my bachelor party (slept in my makeup) and 24 hours later my make up was still stunning. Kim is truly one-of-a-kind and I will be using her for all of my future events!!
Kim came to our hotel the morning of my wedding bright and early! She was so friendly and organized (which is a definite must on the morning of a wedding!). She airbrushed all of my bridesmaids and myself and we could not have asked for a better job! Our makeup lasted all day through the tears and laughter and was complemented many times by our guests. I would definitely recommend KLM Artistry to any bride to be!!
Kim was wonderful! Not only was she incredibly kind to everybody, she did a beautiful job on hair and makeup. Everybody was so happy with how they looked. Her prices are very reasonable, and she is very flexible. Thank you Kim for beautifying my wedding!
I felt so beautiful on my wedding day and this was all because of Kim! It poured rain on my outdoor wedding and my makeup held up through it all! She is very fun to work with and Is attentive to getting my makeup exactly the way that I wanted. I will definitely use her again in the future for upcoming special events.
Kim at KLM was AMAZING. She met with my Daughter at 4 AM for her 8:00 Sunrise Wedding. She was prepared and very awake. She goes way beyond what is expected, as she makes sure you are fed and hydrated. She listens and does exactly what you ask. She offers her ideas and experience in a way that is so kind and loving. My Daughter looked radiant. Her hair and make-up lasted the entire day without a flaw. Thank you so much for a wonderful experience.
Kim went above and beyond during the wedding. Not only did she stay the entire time to constantly fix my hair and makeup, she made sure that my veil and dress looked perfect for every picture taken. She would even run around and get whatever I needed to make sure that I wasn't stressed out. Kim did an amazing job with my hair and makeup and exceeded my expectations. I would definitely recommend KLM to any bride!!!
I chose KLM Artistry to do formal hairstyles for myself and my three bridesmaids on my wedding day. I had two hair trials, complete with accessories prior to the big day and the final result was absolutely beautiful! I showed her a picture I found on Pinterest for inspiration, and from there she created the exact look for me! She is an extremely talented stylist, but what blew me away even more was her meticulous nature. Like a true artist, she takes a moment to step back and examine her work before proceeding to the next step. She also took pictures and drew a quick sketch of the hairstyle to make sure she could create the same look on my wedding day. Not only does she strive for perfection-she is also the sweetest person ever! Kim has such a kind, friendly personality! She is extremely easy to work with and flexible too! Everything went exactly as planned with Kim-working with her was an absolute pleasure! All of the girls loved their wedding day hair and I did too! You should definitely book with her :)
Kim was absolutely amazing and provided hair and makeup for myself and my bridal party for such a great price! She also did my hair and makeup trial the day of my engagement photos and they turned out just beautiful. Honestly people were saying I looked like a model but it's just because Kim is so good at her craft. I opted for airbrush and I'm glad I did! Although it took longer to take off, it stayed in place through tears and sweat. When we got back to the hotel after the wedding not one thing was out of place and my makeup (other than my lipstick which is always the first to go) was absolutely flawless. And as if that doesn't convince you, Kim herself is just a wonderful person and so easy to talk to and work with. You can tell immediately she is a kind and warm person. I one-hundred and ten percent recommend KLM!!!
Kim is, in a word, essential! She was one of the best decisions I made for my wedding, and is so much more than a hair and make up artist. Kim is a big reason that my wedding went off without a hitch and why we had so much time for amazing photos. She is calming when you need her to be and energetic when she has to be! If you hire Kim (definitely get the elite bridal package!!) you will not regret it!! I had a few trials before the wedding so I was confident in her ability to make me and my bridesmaids look perfect on the wedding day. She was also ready with straws so I wouldn't ruin my lipstick, she sprayed down fly-aways, powdered down shine, and even fixed and fluffed my skirt/train during our photos! She was able to flawlessly cover my tattoo and she even did my husband's ponytail and lightly powdered his face, and helped my maid of honor bustle my dress before the reception. I cannot express how grateful I am for all of her help- I was actually really sad to see her go when I walked into the reception! She was amazing and worth so much more than she charges!!
I hired Kim to do hair and makeup for myself, my 4 bridesmaids, and my mother. She and another makeup artist she brought in for the day did an absolutely wonderful job. Neither of them quit until we were all absolutely perfect. My mom was a knock-out! She was fun, energetic, and so professional. She has wonderful taste. I'm the kind of person who wears very little makeup, so having her use her skills and knowledge was really a lifesaver.
I also hired Kim to follow us around for everything leading up to the reception, including her bustling my dress before the reception and doing hair and makeup touch-ups throughout the formal photos (to include a second hair style for the reception, without the veil). It was the best decision we made throughout the whole wedding planning process. She went above and beyond to not only make sure my hair and makeup and dress were perfect, but she also kept us all calm, helped out where help was needed, assisted the wedding venue managers when needed, assisted the photographers when needed, and took a lot of pressure off everyone involved. This woman really knows her stuff! I would tell anyone to hire her - not just someone like her, I would tell them to hire her specifically. She's awesome. And we all looked fabulous! Thank you so much, Kim!
After working with Kim of KLM Artistry to provide makeup and hair for my wedding, I requested a makeup application session with her. Imagine having an afternoon with a makeup expert who is familiar with all the top brands and who knows the colors that look best on you - that was my experience with Kim. She gave me a list of all the recommended cosmetics and colors before our get-together. When I arrived with my purchased items, she then taught me how to apply everything from foundation to artificial lashes! So much better than having a cosmetic counter make-over, because the colors and products were right for my skin and coloration AND without the pushy sales pitch! Having Kim share her expertise was invaluable!
Extremely happy that I went with Kim for my wedding. She listened to my ideas and was open to any adjustments. I had acne for my engagement photos that she was able to fully cover up. For my wedding, she recreated everything from my trial that was 10 months earlier. When I decided I wanted to make small adjustments to my hair and makeup, she did everything to make sure it was just what I wanted. My mother and cousin also had their hair and makeup done and both were beyond happy with it. Completely worth it.
I found out about KLM Artistry after searching multiple wedding websites. All of them had great reviews and recommended Kim for my wedding day hair and makeup! I had looked into a few other hair/makeup artist in the area and found that Kim was very responsive, which was really important. I didn't want to be stressing about finding a hair/make up artist or wondering about their reliability. Plus, KLM Artistry's pricing was very reasonable.
I am very happy I found Kim because she is beyond amazing. When I went for my hair and makeup consultation, I knew I had made the right choice. Kim was extremely welcoming and personable and very attentive to my hair/makeup requests. She asked lots of questions to to make sure I got exactly what I wanted. My experience with the consultation and her responsiveness to my emails made me sure of my decision to go with KLM Artistry!
I got married just over two weeks ago and just thinking about the day still brings tears of happiness to my eyes. Kim was a big part of that. I knew the day I met her for my consultation that I wanted to book her services. She was so caring, warm, and kind. She had amazing attention to detail that I never would have expected. Even after I thought she was done, she would take a step back, and tell me that there was a curl (just one) not doing what she wanted and then fixed it. There is only so much of your hairstyle you see, but I fully trusted that Kim was going to do an amazing job on my big day to ensure that every hair was in it's place. Kim's standards are incredibly high in regards to what she gives her clients. I feel truly blessed that I found her flyer in the pile I received at the Bridal Show.
Kim was also very flexible with me. Two days before the wedding, my mom decided she would rather do her own hair instead of having Kim do. I emailed her to let her know so she didn't have to get up so early in the morning, but also to ensure her that I would still be paying for that service since I was canceling with such late notice. Kim sent me a new invoice and timeline for the day of without my mom's service on it. No charge for the cancellation.
The day of the wedding, Kim came to our hotel room to get us all ready. There was only myself, two bridesmaids, and a flower girl. She was so calming and reassuring. She was as excited about the day as I was! She encouraged me to cry and not to worry about the makeup. It felt as though she was a part of the wedding party.
After we were ready to go, she met us at Stonebridge Manor for the ceremony and reception. She arrived before us and had everything already set up in the bridal suite for touch ups before I even stepped in the room. She was quick to do finishing touches on all of our hair and make up. Up to this point, everything that Kim had done was what I expected. When we started with the pictures is when I was really amazed.
I mentioned to Kim that I knew I would cry when I saw my groom during the first look. We had chosen to share traditional vows in front of our guests and personally written vows privately during our first look. Kim told me not to worry and even showed me how to hide a tissue in my bouquet.
Kim was there all through pictures, holding my bouquet when needed, fixing my makeup and hair when needed, fixing my dress when needed, holding a drink and food for me, etc. I was simply amazed by the experience! I never expected anywhere near the level of service I got from Kim. I do not think I have enough words to describe how grateful I was/am for all she did that day.
I have received many compliments about Kim from other members of my family and bridal party. Everyone was blown away. I plan on using her services every time we have family photos, Christmas card photos, etc.
Thank you, Kim!
Kim made me and my bridesmaids feel so gorgeous!! She is so easy to talk to and she made me feel so comfortable and at ease about my day! She is such a genuine person and her talent and skill for hair and makeup is unbelievable. She was able to do customized hair and makeup for me and each of my bridesmaids and they each loved the finished product. She stayed on time, was very professional, and she is (in my opinion) the BEST in the business. I am a wedding photographer and I have seen her work many times before booking her for my wedding, as well as having my hair and makeup done by her for other events. I would let her do her hair/makeup magic to me every day if I could!
I could not be more pleased with the professionalism and efficiency that KLM provided. When there seemed to be curves thrown into the scheduling and extra people needing help these were dealt with in a smooth and stress less manner. All of the bridesmaids hair looked beautiful and makeup flawless. The bride looked absolutely beautiful! What amazed me was the many difficult challenges of thick hair to frizzy and extremely pale skin to very dark tones. Every bridesmaid looked great! I don't know if this is even part of KLM service, but her suggestions for pictures was great. We did not use a professional photographer so her advice for special pictures is something I am very grateful for. Our experience was very positive and was so happy to have used KLM.
I had some initial difficulty finding a makeup artist. Some were too expensive or didn't want to work around my wedding being that it was an early morning ceremony; but Kim was AMAZING! She was flexible with being available early, charged me a decent amount for her make up services, allowed me to come to her home for a reasonable $25.00 consultation, had a great personality, and really did an awesome job on my wedding day! She's someone that I was so happy to have at my wedding!
Kim was such a pleasure to work with, both in the planning process and for the day of the wedding. I shared pictures of what I was thinking for myself and for my bridesmaids, and Kim helped me narrow down looks and gave me a timeline for the day so I could know what to expect.
When it came to the actual wedding day, Kim was wonderful to work with. She was both flexible and pleasant when we needed to switch the order of my bridesmaids getting ready for various reasons, and the girls all looked gorgeous! We had a variety of skin types and hair types to deal with and Kim did a top notch job with every one of them.
Not only was her makeup job flawless (Not a hint of my usual dark circles!) but it stayed pristine through outdoor photos in what was an unusually hot August. In fact, if my Groom hadn't been so enthusiastic with the kiss all of the makeup would have stayed until I took it off myself at the end of the evening! (Though Kim was quick to find me in a quiet moment with the lipstick to return it to it's former glory)
TL;DR: Kim is a wonderful vendor and I highly recommend that you consider her for both hair and makeup for your wedding. She is skilled, professional, and has a wonderfully upbeat personality well suited for taking care of a bride on her special day.
I was referred to KLM Artistry by my best friend, whose sister's wedding took place last year. She said Kim was great, and she was right! She was really friendly and listened to what I needed, asked me about the look I was trying to create and did a full trial session beforehand, with no pressure to use her services on the wedding day. I felt absolutely beautiful and my wedding pictures turned out great! My photographer didn't have to do much touching up on the photos. I would recommend KLM Artistry in a heartbeat. I went for the "perfect airbrush" look and I'm really glad that I did. Hair stayed in place all day and even though my wedding was in 114 F weather, hair and make up stayed in place until the reception was over. :)
Kim did a great job with my wedding hair and makeup. She's easy to work with, friendly, and has good attention to detail. When my dress bustle broke, she took the initiative to fix it herself with some extra safety pins she had. My hair and makeup held up really well for the whole night, and I really "tested" it with nonstop dancing at the reception!
Thanks Kim!
I found out about KLM Artistry through another bride who recommended that I use Kim for my wedding day hair and makeup! I had inquired about and spoke to several other hair/makeup artist in the area and found that KLM Artistry's pricing was very reasonable. Kim was also very responsive which is a huge plus in my books!
I will be forever grateful of that recommendation because Kim was beyond amazing. When I went for my hair and makeup consultation, I knew I had made the right choice. Kim was extremely welcoming and personable and very attentive to my hair/makeup requests. She asked lots of questions to ensure I got exactly what I wanted. I could tell right off the bat that she truly cared about my ideas, suggestions and thoughts. She is very passionate about what she does and is a perfectionist (in a good way)! After my hair trial, Kim offered to re-do my hair to a more casual style because I was heading straight to a friend's birthday party. I took her up on her offer and she took down the beautiful hair style she had just spent an hour creating, re-curled my hair and put it in a cute pony tail. It was a very kind gesture and solidified my decision to go with KLM Artistry.
Kim did not let me down on the day of my wedding. There were 9 of us getting our hair and makeup done (bride, mother of bride, and 7 bridesmaids) so she had a 2nd hair/makeup artist help out. My wedding started at 2 pm so it was an early morning. Kim and Jessie showed up on time (6 am) and set everything up ahead of schedule. One bridesmaid that was schedule with Jessie wanted a waterfall braid, however, Kim is the master of braids. Kim and Jessie were able to rearrange the schedule without missing a beat or getting behind on time. I originally wanted a low side bun but the day off, Kim suggested doing the same bun but in the back. I trusted Kim's opinion and did the low bun in the back. I absolutely LOVED it and thought it looked much better than when the bun was on the side. And the airbrush makeup... WOW! All I can say is that I have never felt more beautiful in my life. My mom and bridesmaids also all looked stunning! Kim was by my side for my solo photos making sure that my front loose curl was laying beautifully against my face, that my necklace wasn't crooked, that my veil was placed perfectly, that my lip color never faded...She basically made me look flawless for photos that I will cherish forever.
There are no words to describe my appreciation for everything Kim and Jessie did. They played a big part in making my special day perfect. KLM Artistry was beyond amazing and exceeded all of my expectations. Working with Kim and Jessie was a great experience and if I could re-live the morning of my wedding, I would not change a thing!
KLM Artistry was simply amazing. Kim helped with everything and made sure that I looked amazing in every picture I took she even made sure my groom looked amazing and was perfect. Kim paid close attention to every single detail if my necklace was crooked she fixed it. I purchased the bridal package and it was worth every penny and so much more I don't know what I would have don't without Kim.
Kim & Jessie were outstanding! They provided excellent hair & make up services to the entire bridal party plus both moms! Everyone looked amazing. They took their time with each of us to insure that we each had the right look that we wanted. Very professional, would highly recommend them for any special event. Thank you!
Kim is a awesome artist... I felt like a million bucks... She is a lot of fun
I would give Kim 6 stars if I could. I signed up for her Elite package and she went far and beyond just hair and makeup in helping with our wedding day. Not only did myself and my bridesmaids looked amazing but she fixed a groomsman jacket when his button fell off during pictures, she ran down the wine for our ceremony that my bridesmaid forgot, etc. People kept referring to her as the photographers assistant because she was so instrumental in making things go smooth on our wedding day. She was very receptive to making changes so that everyone was 100% satisfied.
If you are looking for someone to do your make up..shop no more! Kim is by far the most personable, calming individual I have met. She will make you laugh, and feel at ease on your special day. Be warned she is a perfectionist......and on your wedding day....I don't think you would want anything less.
Thank you Kim....keep smiling and making brides feel like a million on their special day!
kim was amazing! she covered our tattos as well as dolled us up! she was very professional and had a great personality!
I used KLM for my wedding two years ago and had such a wonderful experience!! Kim is so friendly and professional, but most importantly- skilled!! She just does such a wonderful job of making you look truly beautiful and highlighting your best features while still meeting your expectations. I love a more natural look, and she was able to make me look glamorous without looking like I had tons of makeup to make it happen! The tools she uses are incredible and she even gave me princess service by following me around on my wedding day during pictures and before the ceremony to freshen me up and make me look just beautiful and perfect! She was such a life saver! So now, as my brother in law was getting married, I highly recommended her to my future sister in law, and yet again, KLM came through exceeding everyone's expectations with her brilliant skills, top notch products, and exceptional attention to detail. Everyone loved how great of a job she did, and my now sister in law looked absolutely beautiful on her wedding day!! If you are looking to have your makeup done for your wedding (or someone else's wedding) stop your search right now!! You just stumbled upon the BEST there is!!
Kim is MUST HAVE for every bride. Her talent and attention to detail are amazing. She is flexible and fun to work with. Kim will stay with you during photo session and not just touch up your makeup but she will run around and help in every possible way. She made me and my daughter absolutely gorgeous. Kim is the best investment for your wedding.
THANK YOU!!!
I found KLM Artistry through searching on TheKnot and after browsing the website, I knew hands down that I wanted Kim as my hair and make up artist for my wedding. Even though my wedding was in May 2013, I set up my hair and make up trial at the beginning of August to confirm that I wanted to book Kim. As soon as I met her, and especially after my hair and make up trial, I booked her that day. I've never felt so beautiful in my life and I got so many compliments that day that I knew I had found the perfect artist. I also used Kim for my hair and make up artist for my husband and I's engagment session. Kim was excellent with communication and was able to come up with a great day of schedule, especially considering how many girls we had (8 girls; all with make up, 6 with hair). We had so many people that Kim had to bring in another artist she works with frequently (Jessie) to help get all of us done. Both women were amazing and listened to exactly what we wanted and helped to make sure we all looked and felt beautiful. Kim had also done this with me at my hair and make up trial and at the engagement session which was really helpful because I knew what I wanted done with my hair but had no clue about make up. One of the things I also loved was that included in the package is that Kim stayed to touch up hair and make up throughout the pictures as well as after the ceremony before we went into the reception. She was also present during the pictures to help make sure everything was laying correctly (i.e. jewelry) and to help keep hair and make up in perfect condition. I've never felt like more of a celebrity! She was also awesome in helping us switch everything to another bridal ready room when the a/c broke in the room we were in and we all started sweating to death (Arizona in May; it was hotter in the room than it was outside). I could not have asked for a better hair and make up artist, especially for the price ($782.50 for all 8 girls, 2 artists, large tattoo cover up, and all day service from 9:30 AM - 7:00 PM).
I had gone thru three different trial runs with three different artists before making an appointment with Kim. I was beginning to get discouraged because I just wasn’t feeling confidant in the results – they weren’t really capturing what I wanted. When I sat down with Kim and explained what I was after as I had with the three other artists she was excited to get started. Our conversation flowed – she is just so personable and I immediately knew she would fit in with my bridesmaids the day of the wedding. Her packages and pricing are very reasonable – especially considering she gives 120% to any project. She is a perfectionist but manages her time and is aware of how critically important it is staying on schedule on such a big day. The day of the wedding she arrived early and began setting up with her assistant. They did such an amazing job on each of the bridesmaids, my sister-in-law, mother of the groom and myself – we all looked flawless. She then travelled with us to the location and she was just so amazing – putting the final touches on everyone, helping in any way possible. Even my wedding coordinator and photographer commented on how attentive Kim was. She went above and beyond to ensure we all looked our best for the pictures after the ceremony. A women’s wedding day is one of the most important days and the artist is in charge with such a big task. I had heard of so many stories of friends not liking their hair and makeup and what a disaster the experience was –but I was so fortunate to have found Kim. She is so talented and friendly and understands to listen to her client and give them what they want but to put in her own style that compliments the look. She is worth every penny. I will absolutely use her again when I have an event or even for a date night with my husband. Kim, thank you for being so amazing!!! You absolutely were one of my favorite people throughout my wedding experience.
Kim went truly above and beyond for my wedding day. I contacted her practically at the last minute after coming across her vendor listing on theknot.com and from her first email I felt at ease. Her packages were very affordable and she did a fantastic job. She did the make up for myself plus four bridesmaids as well as styled my hair and the flower girl's. I'm not a girl who wears make up every day (more like once a week) but she did an amazing job interpreting what I wanted - classic, special and beautiful - in such a tasteful manner.
Throughout our correspondence and the entire day before the wedding she was so professional and kind. She insisted on coming to the venue to do last minute touch ups and offered to do the flower girl's hair even though it wasn't part of the package I chose. Kim enlisted the help of a hair stylist named Hillary who did all of the bridesmaids' hair styles and she also was incredibly sweet and talented. There was absolutely nothing that Kim could've done better. She was easily the best vendor I had for the entire wedding and I HIGHLY recommend her!
Kim and Jesse did such a great job with me and my bridal party - hair and airbrush makeup!! I highly recommend KLM! They showed up on time, stuck to their schedule, were affordable, and did amazing work! We all felt like movie stars when they were done pampering us! To add, they were very friendly and fun to be around on the stressful wedding morning. Thanks again!!!!
She goes above and beyond every time. I loved working with her.
Kim did a great job on our wedding day. She was very attentive to details, was prompt, and did quality work on our bridesmaids, mother, and me. There are somethings looking back on our wedding day that we would have changed, but we wouldn't change anything that Kim did. She was great and a wonderful investment for our wedding.
I cannot say enough nice words about Kim! I had a bad trial with a different make-up artist that left me very upset. Thankfully I found Kim and after doing a trial with her I felt much better about how I would look on my wedding day. She understood exactly the look I wanted and made me feel beautiful. I had some unfortunate breakouts from stress but Kim was able to mask it so unless you were very close you could only see my one big pimple while still making it look like I was barely wearing make-up. Although the make-up didn't look or feel heavy it lasted a very long time. At my trial she had me look in the mirror inside and outside to make sure I liked how it looked in all different lights. She also took pictures with her camera to make sure I also liked the way the make-up looked in pictures. On the day of the wedding Kim went above AND beyond what we hired her for. She arrived early to set-up and waited outside my hotel room for me because I was running around doing things. I felt very bad because I assumed she would call when arrived but she patiently waited for me without calling because she didn't want to bother me. She was very patient when occasionally I had to get up in the middle of getting my make-up done to do something wedding related. She also waited for my photographer to arrive so he could take a picture with his camera to make sure they way I liked how he captured the make-up. When some of my curls started to go limp (since I had the hair salon do it a few hours before Kim came) she re-curled them for me. She offered to help my mom with her make-up for free because she was running so behind. She was offering to relay messages between my room and the groom's room. She was helping the photographer position my dress and move things around my messy hotel room. Kim is an angel and I strongly recommend her to anyone who needs their make-up done for any event. I'm sure she also does hair great.
Kim and her team of artists are amazing! Kim is so sweet and easy to work with. She takes the time to schedule your bridal consultation before you even decide to hire KLM. She and her team of artists were so friendly and made the entire "getting ready" experience wonderful. Not only is Kim warm, sweet, and flexible, but she's amazing with hair and make-up. I felt beautiful on my wedding day, and people couldn't stop commenting on my hair and make-up! Kim will stay with you throughout pictures and up to the reception for touch ups, and helped to assist during photography with my dress, etc. She even helped touch up my mom and bridesmaids before the reception! You will not be sorry if you hire KLM for your big day!!
Kim and her team were so sweet!! They made all my bridesmaids, my flower girls and mainly my mother so absolutely beautiful!! She did the same for me and I couldn’t have been happier with my hair and make-up, I felt so gorgeous!! She took direction very well with how I envisioned looking on my wedding day seriously and made it happen. She went above and beyond for us, we had a bridesmaid tear her dress and she helped sew it back up and during our photo session she helped move furniture along with touching my make-up up. She was so great!! I couldn’t imagine my wedding day without her. Thank you so much Kim, I would definitely recommend you to any new bride.
I'm actually speechless on how amazing Kim was, which doesn't happen very often. She was more than helpful. I got the Elite package which she stays with you longer to help with touch ups to insure all your pictures look perfect. She worked hand and hand with the photographer to help with lighting and dress positioning. I cannot tell you how much I recommend her. Even if you don't go with the Elite package (which I highly recommend), just for the fact the she comes on site to get you ready was worth it alone. I couldn't imagine going of site to get ready, it’s a total stress saver. SHE IS AMAZING!!!!!!!
Kim is absolutely amazing at what she days and she goes out of her way to do anything she can to make sure your day is perfect! Kim was meticulous about the details while during my hair and makeup. She also worked with the photographer to make sure everything looked ok in the pictures. I had two looks done with her for the wedding and reception and she made me feel gorgeous! I got so many compliments on my look! I would highly recommend her.
Kim was fantastic! She made me look and feel beautiful. She is such a kind person. I'm not a hair/makeup kind of person, but she made me feel comfortable throughout the process. It was exactly what I wanted and more. She also worked on my nieces and SIL. They were all beautiful. At the last minute she did my MIL's makeup. It was wonderful that she could be so flexible. Thanks Kim!
I was married on 10/13/2012 and Kim and Jessie from Klm Artistry did my bridal makeup and hair as well as 7 bridesmaids and my mothers. I have never felt more relaxed and in such great hands. I had did a trial with kim in April and I so i already knew how perfect everything would be on my special day. Kim snd jessie were beyond professional and dud much more then hair and makeup she touched up my groom who was a little nervous and began to perspire, gave my flower girls the perfect pink lips and put my mind at ease. If I could rate Klm Artistry 10 stars I definitely would. Thank you ladies for making me not only feel beautiful and relaxed but for ensuring our day was perfect by going above and beyond.
...For the right reasons. Kim takes care of everything down the last detail. She makes sure that she completely understands what you want and works diligently to make sure your day is as special and possible. She is very friendly and understanding and helps take a lot of pressure off when it comes to planning your big day. If you're looking for an easy, reasonably-priced, and fun way to get the perfect hair do before you "I do," KLM Artistry is the way to go.
Kim did an AMAZING job on my makeup and the WHOLE wedding party. She went above and beyond the call of duty. She made us all feel so comfortable, that I felt like she was part of the family. The make-up was ridiculously good and was on all day from 11a.m - midnight. It felt natural and looked just simply beautiful. All my girls looks great. I can't say enough great things about her. I would recommend her to anyone!
Kim and her partner were amazing at my wedding last weekend! She took her time to make sure my hair and makeup were perfect and even provided extra touch-ups when needed. I'm so glad I picked her and I hope others do as well!!
KLM Artistry, specifically Kim, made my wedding unbelievably perfect. I could have never done it without her and her team of assistants Jessie and McKenna. From my trial run with her to the big day Kim listened to everything I wanted and made sure that it turned out beautiful. She has so much expertise, knowledge, and desire for perfection. My hair and makeup were glamorous. But most importantly it stayed on all night; through tears, sweat, and dancing it was perfect. I would hire her a thousand times over. PS, her products are awesome!!!!
Kim was absolutely fantastic to work with! I called her just 2 weeks before my wedding because my sister-in-law flaked out on doing my hair. She was able to fit me in, and was very accomodating to my last minute requests.
She came to the hotel I was staying at to do my hair and makeup the day of the wedding. Given I had an early September wedding, I opted to have her stay onsite for pictures before the ceremony up through the beginning of the reception for makeup touch up. Not only did she ensure that my makeup was flawless as I was sweating it off in the heat but she was a HUGE help during pictures.
Our photographer was running behind, and she was a huge help in keeping us moving as fast as possible. Not only that, but she took pictures of me and my girls in the bridal suite while putting on my dress and otherwise just having a blast, which I wouldn't have otherwise gotten since my photographer was a one man show and was taking pictures of the groom while I was getting ready. She burned the pics on a DVD and I picked them up the day after the wedding.
I would recommend Kim to anyone because not only is she a fantastic artist, but she goes above and beyond to help out the day of in any way possible.
OUTSTANDING SERVICE! She did such an amazing job on my hair and makeup, along with my very difficult bridesmaid's hair. I was EXTREMELY stressed before the weeding and had broken out worse than a 13 year old all over my face and chest. She covered it up so well and naturally you couldn't see any acne, but I didn't look like I had makup caked on either.
We were all done on time, and not only that she stayed after to make sure I was all touched up, helped with the photo shoot, made sure I had water and food, crawled all around oak creek in high heels to make sure my hair looked good for photos, and patiently waited through everything. If I could give more than 5 stars I would!! I can't say enough good things.
