I’ve been going to Kelsey for my hair since I moved to Portland in 2022, and there was never a question that I would trust her with my wedding hair. As someone with naturally curly... hair, I’m especially selective about who I let care for it — and Kelsey is truly the only person I would trust with something this important.
For my August 2025 wedding, Kelsey did my hair and her coworker Molly did my makeup, and the experience was everything I could have hoped for and more. From the very beginning, they were incredibly communicative, collaborative, and thoughtful. During our trial, I came in with a few reference photos and a general sense of what I liked — but very little confidence about accessories, jewelry, or how to actually pull the whole look together. Through conversation, intuition, and their obvious expertise, they helped me refine my vision in a way that felt authentic to me. I left that session with clear ideas about hair pieces, jewelry, and overall styling — something I genuinely would not have figured out on my own.
On the wedding day itself, Kelsey and Molly were on time, fully prepared, and completely organized. Their calm, grounded presence made an immediate difference for me. They were the first people I saw that morning, and their energy — fun, relaxed, and professional — helped center my nervous-but-excited energy and made me feel truly ready for the day ahead.
They work beautifully as a team and it’s clear they’ve spent a lot of time working together. They communicate effortlessly, play off each other naturally, and create an environment that feels both efficient and genuinely enjoyable. Beyond their technical skill (which is exceptional), what really sets them apart is their emotional intelligence — they listen, they read the room, and they know exactly how to support their clients on a day that can feel vulnerable and high-stakes.
I would recommend Kelsey and Molly wholeheartedly to anyone getting married, especially those who value collaboration, great taste, clear communication, and a calm, joyful wedding morning. You’ll be in extremely good hands.
