Kelly was great. She worked on my hair (Bride) and two bridesmaids. We were really happy with her work. Kelly did my hair exactly how I wanted. I would definitely recommend Kelly to anyone looking for a good hairstylist that is friendly, professional, and reasonably priced.

Brides by Kelly did an amazing job on my wedding day. Kelly came to our hotel to do hair and makeup for my bridesmaids and myself. We were all impressed with getting the exact hair style we had hoped for. The makeup made us all look perfect for my special day. Having Kelly with us the morning of our wedding was like having another friend or family member in the room. Not only did we look great when she was done, it lasted until the party ended at 1:30am. I couldn't have asked for a better hair/makeup stylist.

Kelly was such a pleasure to work with. I originally contracted with her based on the online reviews she received from multiple websites as well as her affordability compared to other vendors. She was responsive and worked with my schedule (I travel during the week for work) to set up a trial on a date that worked for me. On the morning of the wedding, she arrived early (6:45 AM) and was able to complete the hair of seven people before 11 AM! She was also very patient, staying a little longer that morning to put on my veil after my makeup was applied. I got so many compliments on my hair and it lasted the entire day! I would recommend Kelly to anyone, not only for professionalism, but also for personality and character. Thanks Kelly!

No complaints whatsoever! She comes to you, is very flexible with scheduling appointments, and fast! Super fast! I would most definitely recommend her to my friends.

Kelly did an AWESOME job for my wedding.. Honestly I was a bit hesistent after the trial, because I wasn't sure what I wanted. She suggested some stuff for my hair/makeup, but after she left, I changed some items before the actual day of the wedding.

Knowing the changes - she executed beautifully. I'm Chinese and everyone at my wedding asked who did my hair/makeup and asked if was another asian person. When I said no, they were blown away that someone could handle diversification! It was beautiful and I would not change one thing about how I looked! :) Thank you so much for everything Kelly!

Oh one more thing - she's VERY affordable. I looked at other onsite makeup/hair options and there are usually two things that happen.
1. You would have to get two different people to do your hair and makeup
2. They are charging a whole lot more plus you need to hit a minimum
With Kelly that isn't the case. She can handle both plus she only did hair and makeup for me and my mom and was completely ok with that.

Kelly was very efficient in her work and took her time with each person until they were satisfied with their hairstyle. I did feel that she did not take into consideration the length/amount of the hair when deciding the price. She is very personable and easy to converse with. One thing to keep in mind-the client must remember that she has to stay within her contract which means no changes unless made within the contract time frame. I would recommend her because of the first statement I made and also because having your hair/makeup done in your own home is a great way to relax on your big day.

Kelly was very quick to respond to all emails which was very helpful and made booking a breeze. It was also very nice to come to your place for the day of as well as the trial. She was quick and very professional. My hair turned out beautifully although it was not what I had originally wanted.

Brides by Kelly did a GREAT job the day of the wedding. She did hair and makeup for Me (Bride), 4 bridesmaids, and my mom. She did an exceptional job with everyone and finished on time for us to take pictures. She was professional, friendly, and the cost of her services was perfect for our budget. I definitely recommend her to anyone looking for quality wedding day service.

Kelly was fabulous! She was an absolute delight to work with. She was very friendly and listened to the requests that my matron of honor and I had. She had some great suggestions and helped us decide on the exact look we wanted, even picking up some products for us to complete our look. She was always timely in response to emails and very prompt for both the trial and my wedding day. Her prices are unbeatable, and her level of skill and her caring approach make her highly recommendable!

Kelly was amazing to work with. Many of the girls she did updos/blow outs on are fussy, myself included and Kelly was patient and willing to listen to everyone's concerns about their hair. She was so easy to work with. She is personable and reliable. I hope to use her for non wedding related updos in the future. I would recommend her to everyone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Kelly was great to work with and did a great job on my hair and make-up! On the morning of my wedding there was 4 inches of snow and she still made it to the appointment at 6am! I requested a hair style that she hadn't done before, but she did it and it looked very beautiful. Kelly seems very professional and friendly, too.

Kelly is a wonderful stylist, extremely professional and friendly. Our hair and makeup turned out wonderful, lasted extremely long (all day from 8 am and my hair lasted until the next night when I took it out), and I got so many compliments on how wonderful my hair and makeup looked. I would definately recommend Kelly to anybody looking for a great stylist, she is the best!

My hair was done beautifully, as were my bridesmaids hair and both my mom, grandma, and mother in law. If I could have changed one thing, as crazy as it sounds, I would have wanted more bobby pins especially at the bottom of my hair. unfortunately some of the ringlets fell out! Aside from that, Kelly is clearly very talented and professional and I would recommend her highly.
