I loved working with Kristin and Becky for my wedding + trial hair and makeup. Kristin’s services extend beyond that, truly, with her offering of a skincare consultation. She is in...

credibly knowledgeable, and I have seen such a wonderful change in my complexion since I started following her advice. I loved her thoughtful suggestions and the preparation packets for the bride and the wedding party. I enjoy getting my makeup done, and this is certainly the highest-quality makeup that I have ever worn. I love that she took into account my preferences, but she also used her professional judgement to create the perfect final look for me. Since the trial went so well, there were no updates or changes needed for my final style. I was perfectly photo-ready to go both times! I especially loved her work with my mom and mother-in-law. Neither wears much makeup, and she made the process easy for them. They were so happy with the final product. Everyone’s hair and makeup looked incredible, and I appreciated that Kristin has such excellent experience. It was really fun to talk with her and Becky during our two sessions, and they were the perfect choice for my Asheville wedding.

I'm SO glad we had Kristin and her team do my bridal + bridal party makeup and hair! She made slight adjustments based on my feedback, showed up on time and was super communicative...

throughout the whole process. On the wedding day, she was punctual, calming and even stayed to make sure everything was perfect right up to me walking down the aisle.

I am so glad I hired Pure Beauty Asheville to do my hair and makeup for my elopement. Kristin was fabulous! It was about 3 weeks after Hurricane Helene and things were still in ...

flux in the area. Due to this we were not sure if we were still going to be able to make it happen and had some very last minute changes with location and time, but Kristin rolled with the punches and went out of her way to help. Due to travel, we were not able to make a trial happen but she nailed it and made me feel very beautiful and made the process easy.

Before I get into why I’m not leaving a 5-star review, I will say Kristin did make our hair and makeup beautiful and she was kind and cool to be around. So when I contacted Kristi...

n, I told her what time we needed to be done getting ready and how it was important given the long drive to our elopement spot in the mountains. SHE set the schedule starting at 9am and ending at 230pm. Fast forward to the day of, she got there on time to set up and she did my mom and friend and my makeup, we were having a good time. However, I asked her if she wanted to see the picture again of how I wanted my hair before she started and she declined. So I said okay, thinking I guess she’s got this, and she started. I did notice she was running a little behind schedule at this point, but figured it wasn’t enough for concern… until my mom realized she was giving me the wrong hairstyle. At this point, I start panicking because my sister’s hair still needed to be done, and we were supposed to be leaving soon. She ended up finishing both of our hair but didn’t finish until 4pm (when we were supposed to be done at 230). So naturally we were all anxious and I just wanted to cry. Also, I missed out on getting ANY getting ready pictures with my mom sister and two friends because we had no time, I was literally rushing to get my dress on and get out the door. It really hurts because I will never get that chance back for those photos, nor did I get any after photos from her as I was supposed to. On top of all that, it rained so hard that I didn’t get a picture of my dress like I wanted to when getting ready before it got ruined by the rain. The one thing that has really stung since is that I never heard from her again. I thought that surely I would at least get a follow up email saying she was sorry and hope my elopement went well, but it’s been a month and I’ve heard nothing. What’s even crazier is on top of the expensive prices and travel fee, she added her own gratuity, and we were offered nothing for our troubles. It really sucks that things turned out that way because we were having such a good time until then, and I just ended up so stressed and missing out on things I’ll never get back.

Absolutely loved booking Pure Beauty for our hair and makeup for our wedding! We were not local, so we were unable to do a trial, but they were able to adapt and do the looks exact...

ly like we had asked! With two bride’s hair and makeup plus a time constraint, they stayed professional and stayed on track with time. I would highly recommend their services to anyone!

Cannot thank Kristin more for the AMAZING job her and her team did. Everyone was complimenting all of my ladies, moms and myself on both hair and makeup. Not to mention Kristin had...

a few original team members fall sick and she was able to find replacements day of! Everything went so smooth and was very relaxed during the whole day!

I hired Kristen for my wedding in April of 2021. I had wanted to find someone that was able to do both hair and makeup. I love doing my own makeup so I just need my hair done, but ...

some of my girls wanted their makeup done. Kristen was awesome to work with. She came to my house for the trial and gave really wonderful feedback about how we could achieve the look I wanted with my hair texture (super fine). She gave me detailed instructions about how to prep my hair the night before, which was really helpful. My mom and some bridesmaids had Kristen do their makeup and they all loved it. My mom, specifically commented on how well Kristen listened to her specific requests. Also, Kristen brought another hair stylist to help the day of, and she was equally talented and professional. My mother-in-law, who is self-proclaimedly picky about her hair, said she was thrilled with what her stylist did. I'd definitely recommend Kristen for your event.

Kristin was amazing! I have short, very curly hair and she managed to use my curls to their best advantage in an updo! Plus, she made me look sophisticated, yet still natural with ...

my makeup. My husband was happy to still be able to see my freckles! Additionally, she did my step-daughter's hair and made her feel happy, comfortable, and beautiful. Kristin is talented and incredibly understanding of her clients wants and needs. I am so lucky to have found her!!

Kristin was very nice and professional with my hair and makeup. I had a particular style (finger curls) that I’ve never tried before. She worked with me during the hair and makeu...

Kristin is an absolute pleasure to work with and so incredibly skilled. She and her team arrived at 8am on our wedding day, set up their stations in the living room, and got to wor...

k. Every single one of us loved our hair and makeup, and it lasted three hours of pictures, a ceremony, a dinner, and several hours of dancing and merriment, all outside in 85+ degree weather. My husband told me the day after our wedding that he thought the hair and make-up Kristin and her team did was the best he's ever seen at a wedding because we all looked like ourselves, just a little more elevated, and I could not agree more! I could not recommend Kristin more highly as a hair and make-up artist!

Kristin was amazing!! I had a last minute elopement in Asheville and realized with just a week prior to the wedding that thanks to quarantine I had zero ability to do my own hair a...

nd makeup haha! She was able to fit me in to her busy schedule with almost no notice which I am so grateful for. I have very long, thick hair that I wanted to wear down even though we were planning on going hiking, and despite all that her curls lasted perfectly all day for over 12 hours!! My makeup was absolutely perfect too, and she matched the vision I had perfectly! It was beautiful and naturally soft, and stayed put all day too. Not only was her work absolute perfection, but I had a great time with her while she was getting me ready, she was so fun and uplifting, and really boosted my confidence and relaxed me fore the day! I cannot recommend her highly enough, she's incredible!

Kristin and her assistant did a fantastic job with our hair and make up! Everyone said I was a beautiful bride, and I loved both my bridal hair and make up. My bridesmaids were gor...

geous thanks to her. She went the extra mile to keep in touch with me and work out a plan for my hair and make-up trial even when she didn't have a studio space. I would highly recommend her!

Kristen and Hannah did an absolutely incredible job helping me and my girls feel beautiful on my wedding day. Throughout all the Covid craziness, Kristen was extremely flexible and...

drove an hour out of her way to do my hair/makeup trial at my wedding venue (the only place that was open at the time!). On the wedding day, it sprinkled during the ceremony but all of our hair and makeup held up beautifully. If you are looking for a beautiful, natural look, Kristen and her team is the way to go!!!!

Kristen was wonderful and took so much of the stress off from planning a wedding during Covid! She did beautiful work and worked with our crazy schedule!
