Kristen and her team killed it! The communication before and during the services were amazing. They really listened to what me and my bridesmaids wanted and gave helpful suggestion...
s when asked. I felt like they captured each one of my bridesmaid’s and junior bridesmaid’s personalities through their hair and makeup. My hair style was even better than I imagined. My curls held up throughout the night and the next day! I felt so beautiful and confident for my special day.
Kristen and her team did an absolutely amazing job! Every member of the bridal party looked fabulous. A year and a half after our original trial, and she was able to remember and c...
reate my original vision for hair and make-up. I felt beautiful and the best version of myself. She advocated for me while getting ready and I could not have asked for a better stylist!
Kristen and the Kouture crew were rockstars. The hair and make up was gorgeous, natural looking yet elegant. Very reasonably priced compared to others who really gouge you when i...
t comes to hair and make up. Definitely recommend!
This vendor was absolutely worth five stars! Kristen, the owner, was beyond amazing to work with. She made me feel the most beautiful I could ever have felt for my wedding day! She...
went out of her way to make sure I had everything I needed and wanted for my special day. Kristen, along with another makeup artist she brought with her that day, made my wedding party feel just as special as they made me feel. They were very friendly, accommodating, helpful, and talented! I absolutely give her and her team five stars! I recommend her to EVERYONE!! What I love the most about her and her company is that she does so much more than weddings. I also use her for any special event, examples: weddings, parties, family pictures, and just an ordinary cut and color!
Kristin and her team did an amazing job. Beautiful hair and makeup. Thank you, Kouture!!
I am beyond thrilled with Kristen and her team. I hired Kristen after speaking to her on thumbtack.com, and after seeing her awesome reviews. Kristen was so sweet and personable, a...
nd just a great person to work with. When I went in for my makeup/hair trial in April, I was very happy with Kristen's work, but there were some minor changes that I wanted for my wedding day to feel more like myself. On the big day, Kristen did everything to ensure that I was completely satisfied with my hair/makeup and spent so much time perfecting everything. I honestly have never felt more beautiful in my life, and I was amazed at how she was able to capture my vision so perfectly. My bridesmaids/moms were also very happy with their hair/makeup too! Thank you ladies so much for making me look stunning on my big day. I would recommend Kouture Beauty Designs to anyone!!!
My make-up artist recommended Kristen from Kouture Beauty Designs to do my hair for my wedding this September. My make-up artist did a phenomenal job during my trial so I didn’t th...
ink twice about her recommendation or about signing the contract with Kristen and giving her a $100 deposit, which needed to be paid prior to scheduling a trial.
On the day of my trial, I drove an hour and a half to Lansdale, PA to a beautifully redesigned salon and met Kristen, who was lovely. I talked to her about the theme of our wedding, my dress, and showed her two pictures of what I wanted my hair to look like. When she spun my chair around, my hair was NOTHING like the pictures or what I had envisioned. I told her that it didn’t look anything like the pictures and explained in detail how she could fix it from here (I wanted vintage waves but ended up looking like Shirley Temple). She attempted to pull the curls out but it was unsuccessful. My natural hair without product or styling looked better than this. She proceeded to reassure me that it would look different on my wedding day because she would give me a blowout – however, isn’t a “trial” supposed to show me exactly what my hair will look like on my wedding day? My wedding day is no day to take risks and HOPE my hair will turn out the way I want it to. It was so bad that my fiancé was laughing at me when I got home and told me that my hair looked better right when I got out of bed that morning.
I contacted Kristen later that week and expressed my anxiety about not knowing what my hair will look like on my wedding day and requested another trial free of charge (the first was $75). She refused to do another trial so I requested my deposit back, which she also refused. Now, I’m out $175 for what I thought to be a terribly unprofessional experience. I’ve never written a bad review online about anything or anyone but I felt the need to in this circumstance because I would HATE for any other bride to feel this way while planning one of the most memorable days of her life.
Kristen did my makeup, my mom’s and my maid of honor’s. My mom and I did a trial with her ahead of time, which helped us decide on her for the wedding. She did a great job explaini...
ng her process and was very professional (wrote everything down that she used). She did a great job on the wedding day as well. I still looked like myself, but enhanced. I got so many compliments on my makeup throughout the night. My mom has makeup sensitivities and Kristen was very knowledgeable and worked with her. My maid of honor loved her makeup as well. I would recommend Kristen to anyone who wants very natural looking makeup, with a hint of glam. I know that a lot of people have concerns about not looking like themselves, or having makeup caked on, but that wasn’t a worry with Kristen at all. Definitely very happy with the results! ☺
Kelly and Lauren were awesome! They were able to take everything I showed them in pictures and make them a reality for me. Their make-up stayed on all night and that was very imp...
ortant to me. I had so many people tell me that my eyelashes were awesome! They were very professional as well. I would recommend them to anyone!
