Kim and her team were absolutely amazing to work with. She was responsive to any questions I had leading up to the wedding; worked with me when I had to reschedule my trial last minute; and checked in to make sure I was happy with how everything went. On the day of my wedding Natalie and Monica made me and my bridal party feel instantly at ease. They both listened to what everyone was looking for and executed it perfectly. I could not have been happier with how both my hair and makeup turned out. It was exactly how I wanted to look on my wedding day. And more importantly, both ladies (and Kim) made me feel comfortable throughout the whole process. Could not recommend them enough!
Kimberly and two of her members of her team came to do a combination of hair and makeup for me and 9 other members of the family/ bridal party. Everyone LOVED how their hair turned out. So many of the girls who just did hair were wishing they got makeup as well when they saw how great that turned out! Kimberly is BEYOND nice and made me feel at ease on my special day. I highly recommend her and her team.
Kim and Nataly were incredible. Between me as the bride, 8 bridesmaids, two flower girls and a MOG, they somehow managed to stay on time without sacrificing an ounce of quality. Everyone’s hair not only looked beautiful, but stayed all day. Kim is also such a warm and friendly presence - I knew from the moment I went to my trial with her in the spring of 2024 that she was absolutely the right choice. Book her and her team!!!!

Julia, Nataly and I had such a great time with you, and we are over the moon happy that you loved all of your services! Cheers to a lifetime of love and happiness!
Any questions?
Showed up on time, was friendly and fit in like one of the bridesmaids! All the girls were beyond happy with her work. Absolutely recommend!

Thank you for choosing us to be with you on your big day! You looked stunning and all of your girls were such a pleasure to be with! Wishing you a lifetime of love!
Our experience with Kim Richard and her team was amazing! From the trial to the wedding day, Kim was always reachable for any questions or concerns. The team there on the wedding day (Nataly, Ashley, and Tori) kept things moving, and were very professional and receptive to feedback through the entire hair and makeup process. I was never worried or stressed about timing while we were getting ready, because the team had everything scheduled out! I knew I wanted to make a few makeup changes after the trial, and I felt like Ashley understood exactly what I was looking for. I absolutely loved how my hair and makeup turned out, and I got so many compliments on it all day/night! My mom, mother-in-law, and bridesmaids each had their hair and makeup done, and they all looked beautiful!! Their makeup and hairstyles were super flattering on each of them, and they received so many compliments as well! We can't recommend Kim Richard and her team enough!

Nicole, thank you so much for the kind review! You looked stunning and we are so glad you loved your services... we enjoyed being with you and everyone in your party! We wish you a lifetime of happiness, love and good fortune!
Kim and team were phenomenal! Highly recommend for wedding make up and hair. They were fun, professional and took care of all 5 of my bridesmaids, my sister in law, and mom and mother in law! Thank you Kim and team for making my wedding day even more special.
Kim and Natalie were AMAZING! They traveled to Martha's Vineyard to do hair and make up for myself plus 6 others. They were extremely easy to work with, and made getting ready very relaxing and fun. Everyone was beyond happy with their hair and make up - I would recommend them to anyone!
Kim and her team were awesome! Having the concierge package was so great on a windy day on the cape! Can’t recommend them enough!
I could not have been happier working with Kim. From the trial to the wedding day, everything was perfect. Kim and her team were great to work with and made the day perfect. I received so many compliments on the makeup! I would highly recommend Kim.
Kimberly Richard and her team were amazing to work with! I would highly recommend hiring them for your upcoming wedding. They were punctual, professional, and fun to have a conversation with. In total there were 8 ladies getting their makeup done and we all looked stunning and felt so beautiful!
My experience working with Ashley from the Bridal Studio and Spa was incredible! Ashley was able to work with me to create a natural yet glamorous balance for myself and my 7 bridesmaids for my July wedding. She worked with each girl to individualize the make up to their comfort while still keeping a similar look for all. Ashley was amazing at my trial working with me to edit and tweak each portion of my makeup until it was exactly what I needed! My only issue was apparently I was a bit more of a crier than I realized and should have specified to use more water proof make up as I had some makeup running during the ceremony. However after a few small touch ups all of my other make up was able to last through even the biggest covid bride tears! I loved working with Ashley and I would suggest her to anyone who is considering her!
Kimberly and Andrea went above and beyond all my expectations! They worked magic on my hair and makeup as well as my bridesmaids and I am so grateful to have had them be a part of my wedding day. I had my trial the day before the wedding, which can probably be stressful for some brides, but Kimberly gave me two full makeup looks for me to choose from (both came out AMAZING) and then she did a third look for my rehearsal dinner. I don’t normally wear makeup so I let her do her thing and she gave me looks that made me feel natural and confident. I showed Andrea a photo of my hair inspiration and she mirrored it exactly. On the wedding day I had a small change I wanted to make and she executed it flawlessly. My hair and makeup lasted through all the tears and a full night of dancing - I was so impressed! All my bridesmaids loved their looks as well and Kimberly and Andrea made sure they looked flawless and felt comfortable, while also making sure their looks were a little different than mine. I can’t say enough amazing things about this team! Thank you so much Kimberly and Andrea ❤️
Kim and her team were fabulous. My hair and make up trial was so helpful - they put up with my indecision and tried different things to make sure I would get exactly what I wanted on my wedding day. On the wedding day, they delivered! All 7 of my bridesmaids, my mom and flower girl got their hair and make up done and everyone looked fantastic. Everything was on time and I can't thank Kim and her team enough! Highly recommend.
Kim and Andrea beyond delivered!!! As a bride, I cannot say enough about Kim and her team. I had a HUGE group of girls for hair and makeup (12+ and two flower girls) and we were done well ahead of schedule. I am so grateful for the quality of their work, I (and the rest of my bridal party) felt amazing all day!!!!
Kimberly and Nataly provided hair and makeup services for my June wedding. They are the absolute best! When I first met Kim & Nataly at my trial, I knew right away that I would be in good hands. They are professional, but still keep the atmosphere light-hearted and fun. On my wedding day, they made myself, bridesmaids, and mothers of bride & groom, look & feel beautiful. Kimberly did an amazing job with the makeup and really accentuated everyone's natural beauty. Nataly did an amazing job with the hair and the styles were exactly what everyone had envisioned. Kimberly & Nataly made the day extra special and did not forget even the smallest of details, like moisturing face masks. They even provided straws so we could sip our mimosas without ruining our lipstick! I would highly recommend Kimberly, Nataly, and everyone at the Bridal Studio & Spa!
My experience with Kim and Andrea was just amazing! When I called Kim in a panic because of last minute changes for our hair and makeup wedding plans, she jumped right in and saved the day! Kim and Andrea have a great working relationship and friendship and this truly shows when they are working together as well as with clients! They bounce ideas of one another and are a great team!
My trial was absolutely flawless and I left so excited for my big day, with no doubt whatsoever! Kim did two different styles for my eyes and at first I was unsure as to why, but when we compared them in natural light as well as in pictures, I was able to make a style decision without any doubt! Kim took the time to go over ideas with me on Pinterest and she also gave me her opinion, but was not pushy and wanted to make me happy! We tried all of our ideas and came up with a plan for the wedding day! She is extremely knowledgeable about the products she uses and what would be best for my skin type. On the wedding day, Kim was able to do my makeup, my 5 bridesmaids, my mom, my mother-in-law, and my two sisters in-law! She was so fast and did just an outstanding job! Everyone was glowing and so beyond happy!
Andrea is just a hair styling master! She tied in my ideas from Pinterest as well as her own technique and style and my hair was perfect! Andrea is so knowledgeable about hair and how to prevent unwanted frizz and flattened curls! She did hair for my 5 bridesmaids on the wedding day and they were so happy and looked beautiful!
We went to the beach for pictures prior to the ceremony with our wedding party and Kim’s concierge service was the best! She had umbrellas just in case it rained, and was able to touch up makeup while Andrea touched up our hair before the ceremony! They made the day so flawless and special and I will never forget it! I highly recommend Kim and Andrea! They are the best!

Oh my heavens...you were all the absolute sweetest! In such a stressful year, you were the biggest pleasure to work with. Your excitement and openness to trying different things and letting us collaborate with you, really gave you the most out ...
of everything we offer! We got to watch you walk down the aisle...and enjoyed seeing how lovely and confident you were...smiling ear to ear. <3 All the best for a wonderful life ...come visit for a facial anytime!
It was wonderful to work with Kimberly and Andrea for my wedding. If you think about it, you end up spending a lot of time with your hair and makeup artist on your wedding day, and I/we couldn't have asked for a better team than Kimberly and Andrea. They kept a portfolio of each bridesmaid's preferred looks so that day of they knew what each person was looking for, and, in addition, did an incredible job giving that person the look they were hoping for. Both Kimberly and Andrea are artists in the truest sense of the word. They were kind, compassionate, flexible, and worked with each individual to sculpt the perfect look. We loved having them as a part of our wedding and would suggest them to anyone else looking for quality artistry with a personal touch.
Kimberly Richard was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! I highly highly recommend them. They were worth every penny. I felt and looked amazing the day of my wedding with my hair and makeup done. They even took a boat on a windy day to Nantucket - showed up on time - and were flexible the day of the wedding. What more could you ask for?! I highly recommend them.
Kim is absolutely amazing. We booked Kim for make-up services for myself, the bridesmaids and the mother of the bride. Throughout the entire booking process Kim and Carrie were extremely responsive and understanding of our needs. When Covid-19 changed our plans, Kim was extremely flexible and extremely kind during such a stressful time. Kim understood my vision during the trial and I was so happy with the results. The day of the wedding, Kim arrived to the venue early to set up. I was so happy with my make-up and everyone in the bridal party was as well. She made my Mom feel so comfortable and was such a joy to be around that morning. I would highly recommend Kim!

Thank you Rachael for the kind review. I'm so glad you had a wonderful day and working with the whole family was a great experience. I was thrilled to be a part and wish you both wonderful lives as you grow your family! Much happiness!
Kim was a life saver! I had my wedding in the middle of the corona pandemic and we had to make A LOT of last minute changes! Kim was so accommodating in fitting us in last minute. I went to her private studio space for a trial and it was BEAUTIFUL so intimate and relaxing. Kim offered a flexible schedule the day of my wedding to work around our hair appointments and came right to our hotel! My bridesmaids and I had a blast using her skin and makeup bag the night before my wedding. Kim is a professional through and through and made me feel so special on my big day (even going out of her way to get me a special eyeshadow that matched my vision! ) I am so grateful to have worked with Kim my entire bridal party felt and looked beautiful thanks to Kim!

It was so kind of you to take the time to give a review...I wish I could have been of service!!! I hope your event was everything you wanted it to be. <3
Where to begin!!! Kimberly Richard is amazing. If I could give 10 stars I would. I booked Kimberly for my wedding on 5/26/19. She was recommended by Cape Cod Celebrations who I used for my wedding coordination/planning. I wanted to book with someone who was local on the Cape, as we try and support as many local businesses as we can.
Kimberly and her assistant Carrie were always tentative to emails and were great about answering all questions, even when Kimberly was traveling for business. I had my hair and makeup trial with Kimberly and Andrea. Kimberly was very informative about the different types of makeup that I could trial and helped me choose makeup that was fitting for my skin tone and texture. I had never tried airbrush makeup before, but I’m happy I did. It brushed on so lightly you can’t even feel it and it didn’t feel as if it was clogging your skin or anything. Throughout the whole trial, she made me feel so confident and good about myself. She has an overall positive attitude and she has a great energy that uplifts the room.
Andrea is also a rock star. I was between two hairstyles for my wedding day, either an up-do or half up. She set my curls and played around with my hair and did both so I could see. I showed her pictures and she was very good at copying the style. She is very responsive to feedback whether I liked one specific part of the hairstyle. She even went above and beyond to wash and blow out my Mom’s extremely curly hair so she could decide what she wanted to do on the day of the wedding. I left the trial feeling like a million bucks.
Fast forward to the wedding day, Kimberly and her crew showed up early to set up while we were getting ready in our robes. Andrea and Natalie did hair, and Kimberly and Heather did makeup for the 8 of us. The entire morning was relaxing, and couldn’t have gone smoother. The wedding package we had purchased included the wedding concierge services, in which part of that included a cute bridal bag of goodies (such as face masks, hand and foot masks, nail polish, shampoo and conditioner to use that morning for the bride etc.), and the rest of the bridal party had a face mask to use beforehand. Another great part of the concierge service was Kimberly and Andrea stayed through the pictures and ceremony of the wedding and touched up my makeup & hair. It was windy on our wedding day, so it was nice to be able to have the option of touching up hair and makeup before walking down the aisle. There is also an option to change your hairstyle for the reception afterwards, but I chose to keep mine the same. Kimberly also helped fix my hair and dress placement for pictures, and was always ready to reapply my lips, and dap my cheeks if they looked shiny.
Everyone looked absolutely stunning, and I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better day with everyone. I highly recommend Kimberly to anyone, not just for wedding makeup and hair, but for other special occasions and spa services. I’m looking forward to seeing all of the beautiful photos from the wedding day! Thank you Kimberly, Andrea, Heather & Natalie!!! Xo
When I started my search for a makeup artist, I wanted the top artist I could find. Kimberly Richard and her team are experienced, know what they are doing, and will listen to your requests! My bridesmaids looked beautiful, my mom and mother-in law looked absolutely stunning, and Kimberly turned me into the bell of the ball. She and her assistant Carrie were responsive to my e-mails, and made sure that I was happy with my makeup look during the trial. If you want the best, you will not be disappointed with Kimberly Richard and her team of artists!
The Kimberley Richard salon along with her stylus Andrea and Kerry are absolutely Amazing. I was treated like a Queen from start to the end not only that they make me look beautiful but they made me feel beautiful. This salon went out of their way to clean my ring so that they shine on my day. These girls also joined in my excitement of my wedding by looking at the pictures and talking about my fiance. They also treat of my stepdaughter like the princess. Favorite able to wax my eyebrows color my hair they put the most beautiful extensions in I've ever seen. The pricing was reasonable and they are very flexible since I waited till last minute to book my hairdresser and make up artist. After my experience at Kimberly Richard salon I will never go to another salon for service I. Is girls are amazing!!! I would refer them to anyone and everyone please give him a call you won't be disappointed!!
Kim did a wonderful job for my bridesmaids! and I. Her work is amazing. She put us at ease and helped each of us feel special by helping us look her very best. One of the great things is that she listened to the vision each woman had and helped to execute it, but made helpful suggestions based on her experience. We got so many compliments at the wedding and after seeing our pictures, none of us can believe how great she and her team made us look. If you want top notch makeup & hair services and a dedicated team that knows what works best for weddings & wedding photography, I highly recommend that you work with Kimberly Richard's Bridal Studio and Spa.

Thank you so much for such an amazing review! I cannot tell you how honored I was to be part of your special day. I had so much fun with you all and truly wish you all the happiness in the world! Thank you! -Kim
I was attending a wedding in the Cape Cod area and wanted to get my make-up done professionally. Because of her great reviews I contacted Kim. She did a great job in making me look my best for this special occasion. She did not rush the appointment and was willing to try different techniques with the make-up application. I would definitely recommend KIm.
Kim and her team are so much fun and so great at what they do!! The entire bridal party looked stunning and had a ton of fun getting ready. Thank you Kim!!
Response from the Vendor on 10/17/2017
Libbi, i am so honored that I could be part of your wedding day! We had so much fun with you and we wish you all the love and happiness in your new future! Cheers!
I am so happy with Kim and her team, they made us look amazing! She is fun, sweet and easy to work with. If you want to have a good time getting ready to look pretty, hire Kim. You will not regret it :)
Carrie and Andrea came to the condo that my girls and I were staying the morning of my wedding. What a pleasure it was to have them there, they were both so fun and so nice!! We all felt so beautiful that day thanks to these two ladies. Our hair held up the entire day through wind, rain, and tons of dancing! Kimberly and her team made the booking process extremely easy, what a great team to work with while planning such a big event. These girls are great - I will absolutely be calling them for future events!!
For my wedding date, Kimbery was unavailable :( however, her fabulous team was! :) Throughout the entire process (booking, trial and wedding) Kim was very in tuned with what was going on. She is enthusiastic, friendly and professional. Her team: Lynne, Melissa and Linda are BEYOND amazing! I was so lucky to have these girls as the stylists for my wedding on 9/17/16. They are extremely talented and so much fun to work with. I couldn’t be happier with my choice. On the day of my wedding, the team traveled to the location we were getting ready. They were on time and ready with excitement. Melissa (make up with airbrush) and Linda (hair) efficiently got each of my 4 bridesmaids and mom ready. They accommodated to the different personal styles and everyone looked absolutely stunning! Lynne did my bridal hair and make-up. She is the ABSOLUTE BEST! My hair was perfect and my makeup was flawless. She took the time to listen to what I envisioned and the results were even better than I could have hoped for. I feel honored that I was able to have Lynne as my stylist on the most important day of my life! These girls are the absolute best and I am so happy that I found them! I would highly recommend Kimberly Richards and her team for your wedding!
Kimberly was the sole makeup artist for myself, my mom and 4 of my bridesmaids. She came to the Wequassett and she was amazing! She was so kind and calm during a very nerve racking morning! She was adaptable and gave me exactly the look I wanted. I was traveling from out of state, so we weren't able to do a trial ahead of time - but that didn't make her skip a beat. She's a true master!
Response from the Vendor on 10/28/2016
Thank you Christine, it was my pleasure to be part of your wedding day. I hope to see you again soon!
Kimberly did the make-up for my wedding this past September and I could not have been happier with my choice!
For all the events in my life where I had professional makeup done, I have never been 100% satisfied until Kimberly. She is so open, friendly and easy to work with, she made the experience very easy for myself, the bridesmaids, and the Moms. She really takes her time to make sure every person is happy and feels beautiful.
I also had Andrea do all the wedding updo's and there is nothing she can't do!
I would highly recommend Kimberly and her makeup and hair services to everyone--and I have!
Thank you both for making myself and my bridal party look and feel beautiful!
Response from the Vendor on 10/21/2016
Oh my goodness, thank you so much! I am so happy you were thrilled with your makeup and Andrea's amazing hair skills. We had so much fun with you and we hope to be seeing you again soon! Happy Honeymooning! xo
Kimberly and her team are extremely talented, professional and organized. Lynn did my hair - and she miraculously made my "thin" hair into a BIG gorgeous up-do, after meticulously placing my extensions (she even arrived a little early on the day-of to do so). Lynn and the extra stylist, Kelly, made all of the bridesmaids extremely satisfied with their do's as well - they looked fabulous. And Melissa's air-brush skills are killer. We felt like movie stars and received many compliments.
Response from the Vendor on 10/18/2016
Thank you so much Natalie for letting us be part of your wedding day! You were such a pleasure to work with and all of your bridesmaid were so sweet. We wish you tons of happiness and so hope to work with you again in the future! Thank you agai...
n!
Kimberly and her team did an amazing job with the hair and make-up for my wedding. I was very worried about looking too made-up and she assuaged my fears during the trial and really does beautiful work. I specifically loved the airbrush foundation which felt light but made my skin look perfect all day. The day of the wedding, she and her team arrived early and made the day really fun. All of my bridesmaids loved their looks! Book Kimberly now!
Response from the Vendor on 09/21/2016
Thank you for allowing us to be part of your wedding day! We had so much fun with you and your girls and so happy to know that you all were pleased as well. We wish you all the happiness and sunshine for your new future!
Kim did an amazing job on myself, my mom and my bridesmaids. I want the girls to look natural and she did it. Very happy we used her for our makeup
Kim and Andrea were fantastic! All of our hair and make up were so beautiful. They came to our house so the day was stress free and we could be comfortable getting ready. Didn't feel rushed at all. All of our guests complimented on my hair and the bridesmaids, and the make up was gorgeous throughout the night and in pictures. They did a great job and I would highly recommend Kim and her team to anyone looking for a fun team who has beautiful talent!
Kimberly and her team did our make-up and hair for my wedding this past weekend (6.11.16). They were amazing. They were on time. They were professional...they brought calmness to the house. Everyone was thrilled with the results -- from my 74-year old Mom to my 12-year old niece (and to get kudos from a 12-year old girl is not easy!!). I would highly recommend Kimberly and her team!!
I booked with Kimberly for hair and makeup for my upcoming wedding. I recently went to my hair and makeup trial where Kimberly and Andrea spent so much time with me trying out several looks I had hoped to see. I am very excited to have them recreate my favorite look on my wedding day. They will be doing the hair and makeup for my bridesmaids as well. I would highly recommend!
This review is for my hair and make-up trial. I can't say enough about Kimberly, Andrea, and Carrie! They were absolutely fabulous and put so much time and care into making my hair and make-up trial an amazing experience. They truly listened to what I envisioned for my bridal look and went above and beyond to make it happen. I'm extremely confident in their ability to make my wedding party and I look picture-perfect on the wedding day. I'm glad that of all the things I'll have to be anxious about that day, hair and make-up will not be one of them! Thanks to Kimberly and her team!
For my trial, Kimberly immediately made me feel welcome and comfortable. Her studio is also adorable!
My make-up was stunning, she did airbrush and then applied additional make-up. It enhanced my features and she did not go overboard on the eyes (like I asked). I couldn't stop looking in the mirror, I loved it so much.
I also had my hair trial done at the studio. They spent so much time with me and kept redoing it to try multiple styles. I left feeling so excited for my wedding day! Highly recommend!
Kimberly's group did the makeup and hair for my September 2015 Wellfleet wedding. I can't say enough about the professionalism and the kindness of the group that spent the morning of my wedding day with us. We all felt beautiful and fresh and ready to have the time of our lives.
It was unfortunate that the morning of the wedding, my maid of honor got a call from Kim sharing that the stylist that I had my trial with was ill and couldn't come the morning of the wedding. But, I was not to worry, because she would send a VERY capable replacement. She was willing to recreate the style I had originally tried, but in true bride fashion, I changed my mind at the last minute. I ended up with a style that I couldn't have been happier with and had never even seen before. Kim's team was great, and I was so pleased with their work.
My only reason for not giving 5 stars is that I felt that Kim could have been slightly quicker to respond. I got several confirmations of the same aspect of the wedding (the trial, and the day of) but it took several weeks and multiple messages to hear back regarding a slight change in numbers. As a stressed bride, it would have been a load off to get quicker responses on those items.
Overall though, Kim's team was great and I would recommend her!
Missy and Carrie were the best team ever for my wedding day. Not only are they super talented, they are really great people.
My hair was perfection, my makeup was the perfect amount... I looked like the best version of myself!! She made my skin look FLAWLESS!! I have very thin hair and Carrie got my hair to look FULL!!
These ladies were proficient, professional and overall lovely. Love them, use them, you'll be happy you did!!!!
Response from the Vendor on 12/09/2015
Meghan, Thank You so much for your kind words. I have to say that Carrie & Missy have officially adopted you and your Mom! Not only are you beyond sweet but you are blessed to be surrounded so much love. We just can't thank you enough for letti...
ng us be part of your day. We wish you a fabulous future full of more love! We hope to see you again in the future!
Kimberly Richard and her Team are absolutely amazing. With short notice they were able to add me into their fall 2015 schedule with nothing but smiles. Their attention to detail and willingness to be creative really made this a fun experince. My mom also loved their service and was so happy with our natural looks! I highly recommend this team for any occasion!
Response from the Vendor on 12/09/2015
It was our pleasure, Elizabeth! I am so happy myself and my team were part of your day. You were gorgeous and all of your girls were a pleasure to be working with. Please keep in touch and we hope to see you again in the future!
If I could give zero stars I would. I have been booked with Kimberly for my January 10th 2016 wedding since March of this year. I have confirmed with her multiple times that she will be the one doing my makeup on the day of (which is very difficult to do, since she never answers emails and I have to send her multiples to get a response). Today, one week and one month to my wedding, she told me she will be in Costa Rica for the month of January. Completely unbelievable. I have asked for my deposit back and now will scramble to find someone else that is more professional. Of course she is now ignoring my emails asking for the deposit back so that I can take my trial money elsewhere. BRIDES BEWARE: stay far away from Kimberly Richard.
EDIT: I have been asked by Kimberly to edit my review (she also called me a liar...nice).
At the time I wrote the original review, I had not received a response from her. I was very quick to write that review because I was very upset. She has sent me back my deposit. I have thankfully found another makeup artist... good thing my wedding wasn't in the middle of June on the Cape! I did confirm with her on 3 different occasions that she would be my makeup artist for my wedding beginning 10 months ago, so I'm not sure how a vacation to Costa Rica is "unforeseen circumstances". She had already committed to being my MUA (the last time she confirmed she would be doing my makeup was Nov 17). Her work does look beautiful but I can't in good conscious recommend brides to work with her. I wish I had taken the one star reviews on this site and Yelp more seriously before booking.
Response from the Vendor on 12/03/2015
Michela, I am crushed I could not do your wedding personally. I NEVER AT ANYTIME cancelled your wedding day services. We have had many emails ( over 40 ) since March ,that both myself and my Office Manager have answered happily for you? We hav...
e accommodated any changes you have had and all three of us were looking forward to your trial on Sat. While I was absolutely scheduled to do your wedding personally, and looking forward...there where scheduling changes that were not within my control. I have again , NEVER cancelled your services...ever. I booked you with my most talented and experienced artists , and it is always my policy that the artist that does your trial is the artist that arrives that day. I am present at each trial for every bride...booked with me personally or not, and would consult on your experience. If you were unpleased in any way, ultimately you would receive your personal service complimentary. I asked you to call me if you had concerns or worries and you did not...I tried calling you and your voicemail is not setup. I did send an email saying that I completely understood and I would refund your deposit with absolutely no questions. I included that I would inclose a spa gift certificate for your inconvenience... I even offered to help you find another service if you needed me to? ( All within 2 hours... ) I have several talented girls who depend on my company for their living and I am very hurt you have chosen to say I have ignored or avoided you in this matter? As I have said, I feel awful there has been any problem at all and have done my best to make you happy. We will, as always, continue to do everything we can to assure happy brides in 2016 and hope that everyone will visit my more than 70 reviews on Weddingwire. We have been winners of 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015 Couple's Choice Award, and both 2014 and 2015 Best of the Knot winners. We would never been able to do that without wonderful talent and service.
Kimberly was wonderful to work with! I booked her far in advance after she did such a great job at my sister's wedding. I had 8 bridesmaids as well as some other family members all getting ready on our wedding day, and she and her assistant (and Andrea for hair!) arrived on time and made sure all of us were ready and looking our best before the ceremony. She accommodated a weekend hair and makeup trial for me as well, which really put me at ease. She and her team kept things relaxed and fun which I truly appreciated on such a big day! Was very happy with how everything came out and would definitely recommend!
Kimberly and her team were amazing!!! She's professional, reliable, talented and easy. Andrea did my hair just as showing in the picture! We were all very pleased with Kim and her team's services. I can't say enough about her! I totally recommended Kim for all your hair and make-up needs!
Kim did the makeup foe my entire bridal party plus my mom & the flower girls. Flower girls are free and they LOVED sitting in the big chair a getting blush applied. My mom is super picky and Kim walked through every step with her. I danced all night and my makeup was flawless! Love, love her. $150/ person includes hair & makeup. Andrea her hair stylist is unreal. She uses products that don't make your hair stiff but it stays. I was able to get up and go to farewell brunch and not do a thing to my hair. Amazing! She recreated every hairstyle that people found online.
I initially picked Kimberly due to the high ratings on the weddingwire and theknot.com site, but honestly the true reviews are the ones that are not voiced enough on her unprofessionalism and horrible responsiveness. There's not enough room on this review to voice how horrible her professionalism was and I can honestly say my wedding day was almost ruined by her services and hair stylist partner. It is absolutely TRUE on the reviews that you read that her responsiveness is absolutely the worse. I should have taken it as a sign when it took multiple emails AND calls and I still haven't heard back from her AFTER I signed and mailed the deposit.
Let's start with the hair services. I had 5 bridesmaids, 2 mothers of the bride, and myself for hair... she tells me its an extra $100 for an assistant fee since I had so many girls--- that was fine... she tells me in order to finish all the girls on time for hair and makeup we would have to start at 8:30am but they would set up at 8:00am a head of time for the big day... She made SUCH A BIG DEAL about starting super early at 8:30am exactly and guess what happens... I show up on time and no one is there until 9am! 1 hour LATE from set up time and no communication what so ever! I immediately call Kimberly and surprise, surprise-- VOICEMAIL AGAIN! The hair stylist Andrea says, "Oh because we have the extra assistant, its okay that we started late. We have plenty of time." Horrible communication between workers because Kimberly said EVEN WITH the assistant we needed to start early because of the amount of girls that were getting ready. Kimberly strolls on in at 9:15am. And you know what happened? I rushed to get my hair styled and makeup at the end and had horrible pictures of getting ready with the videographer and photographer because I was running LATE because of her unprofessionalism. We didn't get the first look place we initially planned because she was late. DO NOT BOOK HER. You will regret it!
Response from the Vendor on 12/08/2015
I am always thankful for reviews as I feel it makes me a better artist and business owner. I take full responsibility for any and all actions of myself or my staff members however, I cannot imagine the circumstances described in your comments?...
My staff and I pride ourselves on being prompt if not early to every wedding as timing is most important to all Brides. There is not a scenario in which I would ever stroll in to a wedding an hour and fifteen minutes late and not remember that event. It hurts me that the described circumstances above were not brought to my attention either the day of or at any point after the wedding... leaving me not only unaware of any issues but unable to rectify the actions as well? I am wondering if you might have misunderstood the start time? I would be pleased if you would reach out to me so I might have a better understanding of what happened? With regard to any communication problems, I have recently expanded my staff to include a business manager who helps to over see day to day correspondence with Brides. Her assistance with correspondence has been invaluable.
Kimberly and her team are wonderful to work with! They are fantastic and I am so happy she was there on my wedding day. Everyone looked gorgeous and looked great all night!!! - Angelica
Kimberley and her team were absolutely amazing! They were very professional, knowledgeable, and creative. I had 5 bridesmaids and they were all very happy with the outcome of their hair and makeup. Each one had different wants for their hair and make up and everything was executed perfectly by the team. I highly recommend Kimberley and believe she was the BEST! They're also extremely friendly, flexible, and on time. They have the top of the line equipment and make up and know their stuff!
I got married at the Wychmere and they made our accommodations work perfectly. They were precise and did an excellent job. We all felt beautiful and they made me feel so special! Thank you Kimberley and team for all you did to make my wedding day amazing!
Kim and her team did a fabulous job of making me and my wedding party look amazing at my wedding on July 11th. Kim is friendly, talented and works hard to deliver whatever her clients ask for.
Kimberly was absolutely amazing. Not only did she make me look flawless for my wedding but she is SO much fun, professional, amazing at her craft and helps put the mood in the room at ease. It was absolutely one of the best decisions and money that I decided to spend on myself for the day. If you are thinking twice about hiring Kimberly… don't! You will not regret it!
Kim did my makeup and all of my bridesmaids for my wedding. Alyssa and Jacleen did my hair as well as my bridesmaids, my mom and my husbands mom. They arrived on time and did such an amazing job! We needed to be ready by 1 and we were ready just before. I also got my eyelash extensions a couple of days before the wedding by Kim and they were awesome! Kim has the best personality and is just so fun and calming to be around. Everyone was complimenting us on the hair and makeup so I highly recommend Kim and her team :)
Kimberly did a fantastic job making me look so beautiful on my wedding day. She understood that I was going for a natural look and that is exactly what she gave me. She also gave me discounts on facials and body scrubs pre wedding to really get me ready for my big day. I would highly recommend her!
I was married on September 20th and was fortunate enough to be able to secure Kimberly Richard’s team of miracle workers! She was highly recommended and she has been giving me the best facial treatments since moving back to Cape Cod! I had family and friends in my party, both young and young at heart, and her team of cosmetic specialists did more than work their magic! A special thank you to Erin Marconi and Regina who simply have the magic touch! Erin is fabulous by the way and not just because she has a king Charles cocker spaniel like us too! All the girls enjoyed the pampering and pop of color on the lip! You made us all, including my man, look like a million bucks! My dear friend Megan even called the next day to say that her boys didn’t even recognize her from the picture she took at the wedding because she looked so glamorous! Here’s to kind hearts, professionalism, a little magic and to glam squads!
Kim was wonderful to work with. She does great work.
Kimberly recently did my make up for my wedding at Ocean Edge. Can we say TALENT! She is amazing at what she does. I went for a trial with her before my wedding and loved it. She is professional and very easy going. She gives helpful suggestions. Some of my girls were on the fence about getting make up done until they saw her expertise on the day of the wedding. Every girl in my wedding party and both of the moms ending up getting there makeup done. Kimberly was amazing too. Never once stressed about time and was able to get everyone done! The girls and myself were beyond satisfied. My sister and I are actually planning makeup classes with her next month! Fabulous!
Kimberly is fantastic to work with and very talented - I highly recommend her to every bride! I'm so thankful that I took advantage of her pre-wedding facial special she offers to brides. It was well worth it! Many thanks to Kimberly!!
It is safe to say that my wedding day was the best day of my life thus far and Kimberly Richard was a big part of that. Of course, being beautiful on your wedding day is a given, but Kimberly's services are above an beyond. I was able to get lash extensions (done by Kimberly) a few days before my wedding and they look amazing! Kimberly arrived on time and ready to go the day of my wedding. I felt gorgeous and she and her team made my already beautiful bridesmaids look like models. Fantastic job. Highly recommended!
Kim was wonderful! She made me look so beautiful, I have actually started wearing make up on a regular basis. She taught me how to apply it so that it looks very natual and applied it such that I had a beautiful natural glow. I had a large bridal party, but Kim and her assistant were able to accommodate all of us without creating stress and give everyone a cohesive look. I WOULD HIGHLY RECCOMMEND KIMBERLY RICHARD!
Kimberly is amazing. Not only does she make everyone look PERFECT but she offers deals on facials and offers great advice about products etc. Wish she could come home with me!
Kimberly was such an amazing makeup artist. I emailed her after I got a recommendation from a friend. She was interested in my wedding theme, asked about my family, and was genuinely interested in my love story! She gave me such an amazing trial along with a trial for my mother. She made me feel comfortable and at ease about my big day. Even though my appointment time was extremely early in the morning, Kimberly showed up on the dot at 6:00 AM!!!!!! The makeup stayed all day! Even after my trial makeup, I had to wash my face a good 3 times to get the last bit of mascara and eyeliner off!! I wasn't worried at all that the makeup would fade for my 3:30 PM wedding. From 6:00 AM to 3:30 PM my makeup was fresh and dewy. I got a plum smokey eye, pink cheeks, and a neutral lip. Kimberly also had these amazing long fake lashes for sale. She put those on me and I felt like a princess! I sincerely recommend Kimberly for your makeup needs for ALL your special occasions. She will make you feel special and truly beautiful!
I cannot say enough wonderful things about Kimberly and her work! She is so passionate about her business/profession as a makeup artist as well as her brides. My mother and I took advantage of seeing Kimberly for facial treatments 4 months prior to the wedding. I highly recommend that each bride if possible takes advantage of doing this as it not only allows you to get to know Kimberly and her fabulous work but it also gets your skin in the best possible condition for your special day.
Watching Kimberly at work, doing what she loves best is like watching an artist create a masterpiece. Mixing and blending colors, she truly creates your makeup for YOU. Kimberly is so willing to work with you and ensure that YOU are happy and feel beautiful! The bridal party (as well as both mother of the bride and mother of the groom) participated in getting make-up done. Kimberly had a way of making everyone feel extremely comfortable, at ease and lovely. Her infectious, upbeat personality makes her a pleasure to work with. I would recommend Kimberly to anyone!
From the day I met Kimberly Richard I felt at ease. She is truly a master at what she does. After I had my trial I also scheduled to have engagement photos done, needless to say after I got the pictures back I couldn't wait to have my make up done again the day of my wedding.
Kimberly arrived and jumped right into getting to work, due to some limited space with the best light she set up her station on the deck! She didn't miss a beat! She is talkative and funny, and a real pleasure to have around. She was even flexible in squeezing in an extra bridesmaid who was impressed with her artistry!
While Kimberly did a beautiful job on all of my bridesmaids, and made my junior bridesmaid feel special as well, she made me feel so relaxed and I trusted all of her recommendations. I was beyond thrilled with my make-up. I really felt that every Bride should feel this good on their wedding day! I was so excited! Kimberly was great about my anxiety about some flaws I was experiencing the day of my wedding and worked magic! These flaws were not to be seen when she was finished and everything looked great throughout the day!
Kimberly was also wonderful with my mother and she felt beautiful and looked fabulous!
I also would highly recommend eyelash extensions! I never thought I would do this, but tried it at the trial and again on the big day! They are so much fun, all of my bridesmaids (& Mother!) had them done to! Kimberly's skills are unmatched, I can't wait to find a reason to get my make up or eyelashes done again! I can't thank you enough!
Kimberly's team provided the hair and makeup for my entire wedding party (including mother of the bride) and could not have done a better job. Their attention to detail starting at the trial was impeccable and everyone on Kimberly's team could not have been nicer or easier to work with. They truly made all of us look like the very best version of ourselves and I was very impressed that everyone stayed looking flawless the entire day and all night long. I would absolutely recommend Kimberly to all future brides.
Kim was amazing. She was everything I could've imagined! I started breaking out horribly right before my wedding and she used her magic and my face was flawless!! Her personality meshed so well with my whole wedding party and we all had such a blast!!
I hired Kimberly after her being recommended by several girlfriends. I could not have been more pleased with her! As I'm sure most brides are, I was a ball of nerves and she came in with such a positive easy going attitude! She put myself and all my girls at ease. She made it such a relaxing and positive experience. All three of my bridesmaids had different ideas of what they wanted their makeup to look like and she completed all of them with ease and they were THRILLED with how they all looked! I recommend her to any of my girlfriends who need makeup for their wedding or special event. She made me feel beautiful :-)
Kimberly did a beautiful job on my wedding makeup! She made very detailed notes at my trial, and everything came out perfect on the big day. I wanted a natural and classic but elegant look - and she did just that. I felt like a slightly improved version of myself. Her assistant, Michelle, also did an AWESOME job on my bridesmaids. There was a small delay because of a GPS error so things were a little rushed, but we were finished in time to get to the ceremony. I'd recommend Kimberly Richard to any bride!
I was very happy with my makeup and that done for my wedding party. They were even able to accommodate an unplanned family member for her make-up. The trial was relaxing and they took their time to make sure everything was to my liking. The day of my wedding the results were better than I could have hoped!
Kimberly did a wonderful job with my make-up for our wedding in June 2013. I felt so beautiful. She really understood the look I was going for and literally made me look and feel like a princess. She was very punctual and was ready to start even before I arrived at the Bridal Suite at Ocean Edge the morning of our wedding day. My bridesmaids also looked equally as stunning and I was so pleased with the work she completed for us.
Kimberly was kind and fun. She made me laugh as I whined about the pouring rain (we were getting married on the beach) and then cheered with me and touched up my make-up as I cried when the sun actually came out and we got our beach wedding! I am so glad she was part of our wedding day!
Kimberly is expensive, but I looked into another make-up artist and hated the look she did for me. In my opinion, it was totally worth it for me to spend the extra money and get exactly what I wanted. Our make-up was flawless and it really showed in all of our pictures.
Kimberly and her makeup artist Donna were so sweet. I was in need of hair and makeup within weeks for my wedding and Kimberly made it happen! Donna did a great job on my hair and makeup and I can't thank the both of them enough. I wouldn't look any further call Kimberly for your big day!
Kimberly did an absolutely wonderful job on makeup for my bridal party and I. She was extremely proffesional from start to finish. My mother personally felt like a million bucks and got some many compliments. Absoltuely worth the money and so accomodating. Would definitely go with her again.
Kimberly did my makeup (as the bride), but she also did the entire bridal party and some family members' makeup (a total of 9 + 2 children). I was so happy with my makeup. I wanted to look natural; like myself. Kimberly came through. My makeup was beautiful, flawless, and made me look like an enhanced version of myself. It was so much fun to see the way the bridal party/family enjoyed getting their makeup done as well. Everyone looked gorgeous and simply beamed.
I would highly recommend Kimberly as a wedding makeup artist. You won't be disappointed!
Working with Kim was amazing! From the trial to the wedding day, she was perfect. When the hairstylists I had recommendations for were already booked, she recommended the most amazing hair stylist. Hanging out with Kim on the wedding day was a blast, and she went above and beyond offering discounted services for the bride and bridesmaids prior to the wedding so that we could all look our best for the big day. Everyone in the bridal party looked stunning, and the pictures are incredible. She also offers make-up application lessons, which my sister did, and loved, and I plan to do later this month!
Kimberly Richard is an AMAZING makeup artist!!!! She not only did my makeup but also the makeup for my wedding party and for my mother and mother-in-law. She is both friendly and patient and made sure everyone looked beautiful. We all received so many compliments on our makeup. You will not be disappointed if you book Kimberly. I can honestly say I have Never had my makeup more beautifully done!
Kimberly was a pleasure to work with! From trial to the wedding day, she was very relaxed, engaging and attentive. Some of my bridesmaids do not wear make-up on a regular basis and so Kimberly was the perfect make-up artist for them, as well as my more seasoned make-up wearers. She provides a stunning, natural look that you can feel comfortable in. I never felt once that I was caked in foundation, heavy eyeliner or blush. I looked like me, just a little better! Not only does Kimberly create the perfect look for each person, but she makes you feel relaxed as she's working. She's as sweet as can be and extremely professional. I cannot recommend her enough!!
Kim and her team were phenomenal. Friendly, fun and incredibly talented. My ladies were fabulous and fantastic! The modern vintage look was gorgeous and the ladies all loved the pampering!
Kim listened and took what I wanted and brought it to reality. Love Love Love Kimberly Richards!
Kimberly has worked for fashion magazines and it is clear she is used to a dramatic makeup style, which she does very well. Unfortunately she was too strong for my tastes, even when I asked for natural, so after doing a trial I decided to use her services only for the bridesmaids and do my own makeup. That being said, all my bridesmaids loved her and she has a wonderful personality. For those who are not used to makeup she may not be the best choice but if you are I am sure you will get great results.
