Owner
I have been working in the beauty industry for over 11 years. I’ve had a passion for hair and makeup since I was 4 years old. I am still doing what I love, but as a freelance Artist for brides, brands, film, and more! My favorite part about being an artist is meeting all of my new clients and having “chair talk.” I’ve formed so many friendships and repeat clients through this career and I am so thankful for that. I can't wait to meet you!

center piece of it all. She exceeded my expectations! I got so many compliments on my make up throughout the night. That being said, my make up lasted all night! Through hair and changing, cocktail hour, dinner, ceremony, and dancing. My make up was unfazed. Also! She made booking so effortless. She was efficient and quick to communicate. Making it a no brainer that she was the perfect fit for me. On top of being extremely talented in all forms of make up, she is the sweetest & funniest soul! My whole experience with Kayla is beyond the 5 stars. She is the best of the best! I now have a forever MUA & an awesome friend!

n on such short notice. We did a trial a couple of days before the big day, and although I wasn’t exactly sure what I wanted, she worked with the inspiration photos I had and created a beautiful look.
Even though I ended up going in a totally different direction for my wedding day, choosing a more natural makeup style and a simple low bun instead of the full glam and intricate updo or half up half down we tried, Kayla was so kind, flexible, and thoughtful throughout. She stayed late during the trial to make sure I felt confident about the look and truly listened to what felt most like me.
On the wedding day, she came to my hotel to get me ready, and my hair and makeup turned out perfect, exactly what I wanted. I also really appreciated how she was able to go with the flow when I changed my mind about certain details mid-application. And as an added bonus, she spontaneously did my mom’s hair that day too, even though we hadn’t originally planned on it. My mom doesn’t usually style her hair, but Kayla made her look and feel beautiful, which meant so much to us.
If you’re looking for someone who’s talented, warm, professional, and genuinely invested in making you feel your best, Kayla is it!

re, I was nervous, but as a true artist she did it effortlessly. My makeup was flawless, long-lasting, and photographed beautifully. She listened to exactly what I wanted with inspo photos and enhanced my features without making me feel overdone. Not only is she incredibly talented, but also calm, professional, and lovely to be around during such a big moment. If you need a makeup artist who delivers perfection without a consultation as I had time constraints - reach out to Kayla!

On top of that, she was so patient and wonderful with my mom and mother-in-law, who don’t typically wear makeup, making sure they felt comfortable and confident.

the moment we met, she made me feel comfortable and confident in her abilities. She has an incredible depth of knowledge about makeup, and it shows in her meticulous approach and attention to detail.
I came to Kayla with a specific vision for my wedding day, and she took the time to understand exactly what I wanted. When I had concerns or wasn’t sure about a certain aspect of the look, she was incredibly reassuring and worked with me to make adjustments until I was completely happy. Her ability to listen and collaborate made the whole experience stress-free, and I couldn’t be more excited to have her as part of my big day. Kayla truly has a gift for making you feel like the best version of yourself, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a talented and reliable makeup artist.
