Lisa was AMAZING. Her attention to detail, kindness, and support made our day nothing short of incredible. Lisa was so easy to communicate with, made my trials so seamless, and was...
such a good listener to me, and my bridesmaids. She was able to create the perfect looks for each bridesmaid, and the mother of groom and my mom were so happy with their makeup, too -- both of them initially concerned because they don't often do a full face of foundation. One thing that really stood out to us was just how patient Lisa was with everything. Our wedding was over MEA weekend in MN, so Lisa's second artists weren't available to help with makeup. She ensured we could work together to set up a timeline that would work for all girls' makeup to be done before photos at noon. The timeline was executed seamlessly, and something that was initially a big stressor of mine ultimately was so calm and easy. Lisa also stayed through a lot of the afternoon, helping with touchups for the bridesmaids, and myself so that I was looking perfect for our photos in the afternoon! She was so kind and so helpful -- plus just the ultimate hype girl to have there on our day! If you're considering Lisa, she is absolutely worth the investment!

ake sure I was happy with the results, which I was! My hair and makeup lasted the entire day and I loved how it looked. All of the artists were very friendly, easy to work with, and had good communication! Lisa even gives you a little touch up kit with the lipstick you pick on your trial so you don’t have to go buy a separate one. Would recommend!

Lisa and her team made my day flawless and stress free. We had a trial where she took my request to “look like me but elevated” to the next level. She was able to match my coloring...
perfectly and make me feel special on my big day but still very much me. Further, I have natural curls and was worried about not looking like myself at my wedding but her team made my hair dreams come true. I felt 100% like the most beautiful version of myself thanks to Lisa and her team. Highly recommend Lisa for your wedding day hair and makeup!!

Lisa is absolutely AMAZING!!!! She did mine along with 6 other bridesmaids/mom's/aunt makeup for my wedding day and we all looked absolutely flawless! It was an outdoor ceremony in...
80F weather. We did tons of photos before the ceremony and none of us looked like we sweat a drop! I got tons of compliments all night long about how great my makeup looked even after dancing the night away! Not only is she great at what she does, but she is SOOO personable! She struck up conversation with each and every one of my girls with such ease - as if we all had known her for years. Her laugh filled up our bridal suite throughout the whole morning and it is so contagious! I could not have imagined having anyone else there on my wedding day to do such natural but elegant and perfected makeup! Thank you Lisa!!

I had a wonderful experience working with Lisa and Megan from Lisa Kurtz Makeup & Hair Artistry. Something I valued throughout my entire wedding planning process was the ability to...
have direct communication with vendors who responded promptly, and Lisa did an excellent job with communication.
The booking process with Lisa was quick and easy. She answered my initial inquiry within 48 hours, and had all the information prepared for her packages. Her prices were excellent and she delivered on her services.
After booking with her, she responded to my emails within a week (if not sooner), and made setting up my consultation easy. She prepared the timeline for getting ready on the morning of the wedding, so it was one less thing I had to figure out on my own.
The quality of the services they provided was perfection. Everyone's hair and makeup lasted the entire wedding with no need for touchups or reapplications. Lisa and Megan both had the ability to deliver each girl's unique style.
I enjoyed working with Lisa Kurtz Makeup & Hair Artistry so much, that I recommended my maid of honor use them for her wedding next year. I am excited to work with them again and would highly recommend them to any future bride.

ne with what I envisioned. Lisa listened carefully to any adjustments I requested, made helpful suggestions, and ultimately created a look that made me feel confident, beautiful, and still like myself. She went out of her way to make sure I got the sparkle I really dreamed of!
On the wedding day, she was punctual, calm, personable, and made the whole getting-ready process feel relaxed and fun. Not only did she make me look amazing, but she also did makeup for my bridesmaids, my mother in law, and my mom, and everyone looked stunning. The makeup lasted all day and night — through a super hot and windy day, happy tears, and hours of dancing!
I truly can’t thank Lisa enough for making me feel beautiful on such an important day. If you're looking for someone incredibly talented, kind, and dependable, I 100% recommend Lisa Kurtz!

w when it was their turn. Price is on the spendy side but seems to be about average for the cities. Do be sure to look closely at the fine print for cost of services. Mileage is added after 30 mi not a 30 mi radius (there and back). So anything over 30 miles total was 70 cents a mile PER artist. 18% automatic gratuity is also added and you have to have 4 people not including the bride for each service desired. Eg. 4 people for hair if the bride is doing hair and 4 people for makeup if the bride is doing makeup. This can be very tricky if cost is a concern for some bridesmaids or if you have a small bridal party. Overall Lisa and her team did a great job.

a Kurtz until the wedding day we were more than happy with the communication both my daughter and I received. Any questions we had were answered in a timely manner. Our hair stylist and makeup artist arrived promptly on the morning of the wedding. They were fun, yet professional and worked with each individual in the bridal party to ensure their hair and makeup were exactly how they wanted it. I was especially pleased when the hair stylist suggested something I hadn’t planned on, and it turned out fantastic. I don’t wear makeup on a daily basis and the makeup artist did a great job in keeping my look very natural. Between the hair and makeup I was told I looked 10 years younger and what mom doesn’t love that! Lisa’s team helped get my daughter’s wedding day off to a great start and everyone was very pleased with the results and value for the price we paid! I would highly recommend a bridal party to Lisa Kurtz!!

I could not recommend Lisa Kurtz Makeup and Hair Artistry more! I originally discovered Lisa from being a bridesmaid in a friend’s wedding and I loved her work. When I got engaged ...
a year later, Lisa was one of the first vendors I booked because I knew I wanted to work with her. From the moment I booked Lisa and her team, they were wonderful to work with. Their communication was awesome throughout the whole process. Lisa reached out to me to schedule my makeup and hair trial with her and Maggie about two months before the wedding. We had the best conversation and such a fun time during the hair and makeup trial. My soft glam makeup and my half-up, half-down hair was just what I wanted. Leading up to my wedding, Lisa arranged a schedule to accommodate myself, nine bridesmaids, my mom and my mother-in-law the morning of the wedding. The schedule worked out seamlessly. Everyone had a great time getting ready in the bridal suite and conversing with Lisa’s team. My bridesmaids, mom and MIL loved their hair and makeup and they still talk about it. I felt so beautiful and so confident on my wedding day thanks to Lisa and her team. If you are looking for somebody trustworthy and just amazing to work with, you need to book with Lisa Kurtz Artistry!

I have naturally thicker, curly hair and Maggie had no issues with it, the hair stayed perfect all day. Their time management was excellent. They showed up on time and they were able to get all the girls done in time. They were even kind enough to be able to accommodate my mom's eye makeup last minute with enough time to spare! They did a high quality job with both makeup and hair. Everyone loved their looks and I felt so beautiful on my wedding day. :) Couldn't recommend Lisa Kurtz Makeup & Hair Artistry more!

The hair and makeup of each girl was absolutely stunning and everyone receive several compliments throughout the night about how amazing their hair was and flawless their makeup looked. If I ever need a hair/makeup service in the future I would 10,000% use them again. I appreciated their willingness to do last-minute touch ups, fix things that girls would like to see differently and taking time to make me and the wedding party look the best that we could on my wedding day. I would highly recommend Lisa and Maggie to anyone who is looking for a fantastic hair and makeup duo!
