Amanda is the BEST! She was our hair and makeup artist for my bridal party. I loved everything about my hair and makeup on my wedding day. Due to the amount of people getting thei...
r hair and makeup done she did bring 2 more stylist to get everything accomplished. They were both great and my girls all look stunning! I will for sure be using her again when I need to look flawless ! Highly recommend her! Very reasonable pricing.
I would 1000% recommend Amanda for your wedding hair or make-up needs.
There are a ton of wedding hair and make-up artists in Kansas City and I felt very overwhelmed selecting a ...
person as pricing varied quite a bit and output seemed about the same. Amanda was recommended to me by a friend who had heard good things. I reached out and got a prompt response with her pricing and availability. I went ahead and booked her without a trial based on images I had seen and her pricing was very fair. My mom and I scheduled a trial a few months out from the wedding and I really didn’t have a vision for what I wanted. I showed her photos of my dress and she came up with a beautiful hairstyle and make-up.
On the wedding day, we had 6 gals getting hair and make-up done so she brought Jolene Carrillo-Allen to do make-up and Amanda did everyone’s hair and my make-up. They arrived right on time, got set-up so quick, and we were off to the races. The whole day went so smoothly and they were great energy in the room. We even got done ahead of schedule. So pleased with how everyone’s hair and make-up turned out and highly recommend Amanda to anyone!

My mom and I went for a trial before hand and she made us feel super comfortable and actually took some time to get to know me and what I was looking for. She looked at some pictures and she ran with it and it ended up looking great.
The day of she was very prompt and professional. Everyone loved their hair and makeup! I actually got a little emotional when I saw my girls with their hair and makeup since they looked so beautiful, and you could tell they felt beautiful too!
I cannot recommend Amanda enough! I am so happy with the whole experience and glad she was part of my special day!

They arrived early and had all of our hair and makeup done ahead of schedule which was a huge stress relief and made the whole day go so smoothly.

of the wedding was changed last minute and we were in a panic. She arrived early and entered the building at the agreed upon time. She smiled the entire time, was patient when we were trying to get ppl together, and was amazing when she was working with our mini bride who just so happened to be terrified and cried the entire time. I was extremely happy with her service, her attitude, and her skills! My hair didn’t fall even after a day of coordinated chaos, heat, and a night of dancing! Thanks a million Amanda for making that day a stress free event!

Amanda worked her magic on my hair and helped tuck the headpiece in place. She was very patient (thank goodness) because I wasn't sure if I liked the headpiece I chose, but I went with it in the end and loved my decision. My curls held up through the heat, humidity, and dancing. I'd recommend Amanda to everyone!
