I did a lot of research when I was shopping around for someone to do my wedding hair and makeup for my big day. I really wanted to find someone who could do both my hair and my makeup... I guess I was just thinking the bedroom where I was getti...ng ready could get crowded easily. I was also looking for someone who was skilled at modern and chic hairstyles, and wouldn't make me look like I was going to prom. I have seen so many wedding updo's on brides that I absolutely hate, so I am definitely a girl who knows what she wants. I found Kelly through Wedding Channel, and found her to be extremely professional with very fair pricing as compared to other stylists I emailed. When I saw her for my hair and makeup trial, she proved to be very sweet, and very meticulous!! I kept having her adjust little things about my makeup or hair until it was just how I wanted it, and she did so with the utmost professionalism and patience. On the wedding day, I was pleasantly surprised that she showed up early! She was at the venue and already set up before my bridesmaids and I even arrived! This was particularly awesome, because my photographer warned me to make sure my hair and makeup person was punctual. He said that the last 5 weddings he was in the stylist was late and it adversely affected the entire day. Also, there were multiple road closures on my wedding day due to a triathlon happening that same day, but Kelly still arrived early! In regards to how she worked on the big day, she did an amazing job on my hair and makeup! I was so so happy with how I looked. She put in hair extensions that I brought to give me some extra volume, and used medium length false eyelashes and airbrush makeup to make me look beautiful, but in a natural way that I wanted. All of my bridesmaids and wedding party who used her were extremely pleased with their looks, and she worked efficiently to finish everyone on time so we could get pictures done before the ceremony. After she was finished with everyone else, I had her stay around to touch me up right before walking down the aisle. I don't know that I necessarily needed it though, because the makeup lasted all day and into the night, and the lipstick stayed on even until the following day!! I can't thank Kelly enough for doing such an amazing job, I will always recommend her to my friends and family. If you're looking for a hair and makeup person for your big day or event, look no further, you found her!!
