Kelly helped me with my November wedding and I couldn't have been happier with the job she did! I actually cried when I saw my makeup! I looked beautiful! I couldn't recommend her more! -

Best Makeup Artist on the Outer Banks!
Kelly is the absolute best. She had done my makeup as a bridesmaid in 2019, so when it came time to plan my wedding, I knew I had to book her! She's incredibly detail-oriented and didn't let anything other than perfection leave her chair. My makeup came out exactly how I imagined, her consultations are thorough so she knows exactly what your vision is. I felt absolutely beautiful, and my makeup lasted all night long. 100000/10 would recommend for your special day!! -

The Most Beautiful I Have Ever Felt
Kelly was absolutely amazing to work with. I booked with her and Alicia (Lovie’s Salon) for my wedding back in September of 2023. From the minute I met her for my makeup trial, I knew that I was in great hands. She listened to me when I didn’t want a ton of makeup, but just wanted to feel like a more elevated version of myself. Boy, did she deliver. Not only did I feel like an absolute goddess on my wedding day but she managed to make me feel like myself at the same time. 100% the most beautiful I have ever felt!!! Kelly and Alicia also provided the most relaxing environment the morning of my wedding. My girl squad and I went to Lovies to get ready—Kelly and Alicia were waiting with a fantastic playlist, a bottle of bubbles, and an all around loving vibe. Cannot recommend them enough! -

Kelly and her girl Alicia are literally the best hair and makeup duo out there! They are such wonderful people to work with and I could not have been blessed enough to find them on a vendor list. Kelly knew exactly how to tackle my oily skin and whatever she used kept my face matte with just the right enough glow ALL night. We're still waiting for our professional photos, but even the ones our friends took had me looking amazing! Alicia also worked miracles on my hair, using products that my husband and I are both buying now! If you are looking to have a wedding in the Outer Banks (or anywhere really), you have to hire them! -

Would recommend 10/10!!!
planning a destination wedding is nothing short of stressful but when I came across Kelly’s instragram (yep that’s how I found my vendors) I fell in love with her work. She is very responsive and helpful. She came on the wedding day and fit right in with my bridal crew. Day of I mentioned I have Celiac and she ensured all of the products she used on me were gluten free and even checked o bc me throughout to ensure my skin felt ok since I don’t wear a ton of makeup. My makeup looked beautiful and simple, she played off our day to day makeup routine. For the girls who wear more makeup or wanted more, she worked with that and for me we stuck to simple and subtle. I would recommend Kelly over and over again! -

Wedding Day Perfect!
I can’t say enough great things about my experience! Being an out of town bride I didn’t know what to expect, but EVERYTHING went off without a hitch! Starting with my initial inquiries, to my hair and makeup trial all the way to the big day, I never had to worry about a thing. Communication was very important to me and they went beyond my expectations. -

Kelly is absolutely amazing! She made me feel so beautiful on my wedding day, and everyone was giving me compliments on my makeup, how it was the perfect mixture between natural & glam (exactly what I asked for). She is so kind, and listens to what you want. My bridesmaids and the moms all loved their makeup as well! Kelly is the best of the best, I highly recommend using her for your wedding, or any other makeup needs! -

I had the best experience with Kelly. When I met her for her trial she asked to see normal pictures of me and how I do my make up - she created a look that was authentic to me and I felt beautiful on my wedding day. I trusted her and had the best experience! -

Kelly and Alicia are absolutely amazing! Not only did they delivery stunning hair and makeup, they fit in seamlessly with our group and made us feel super comfortable, allowing us to have a great time while we got ready. I had five VERY different bridesmaids that chose their own dresses, makeup and hair, which sounds chaotic, but Kelly and Alicia made us look cohesive. My bridesmaids and I agreed, my wedding was the only event any of us had been to with a professional hair and makeup team that no one edited or redid their hair and/or makeup after it was done which is completely unheard of! We all loved the way we looked and felt super confident because they took the time to consult with each of us to determine how we normally did our hair and makeup and elevated it. I felt absolutely stunning on my wedding day and love how I look in my photographs! I can also attest to the quality of the hair and makeup as my wedding day was 40-50 degrees and pouring down rain with 50 MPH winds. When the entire wedding had to be moved inside, my husband and I decided to go out into the turbulent ocean to take photographs and when I warned Kelly and Alicia of our plan, they were up for the challenge and made sure my look would weather the storm! My husband and I laid down on the sand and let multiple waves completely engulf us (go big or go home) and our clothes were a sandy wet mess. After changing into another outfit, we went right back to the party; I didn’t have to touch up my hair or makeup. When you look at the photos, you can’t tell which were taking before or after our ocean jaunt. I would highly recommend Lovies, especially their on location services, and will use them again when we renew our vows in the future on a beautiful, sunny day in the Outer Banks. -

It’s hard to put into words how amazing Kelly is… I booked her (and Alicia) to do hair and makeup for my wedding in October. I also hired Kelly to do spray tanning a few days before my wedding as well. Unfortunately due to COVID I wasn’t able to have a trial beforehand so I was definitely nervous on the day of without having any idea of how it would go but I was completely blown away. My entire bridal party looked incredible and I have never felt so beautiful in my life… It’s hard to put into words how I felt because beautiful doesn’t truly describe it! I was sad to see them leave when they were finished and can only hope that I get to work with them again one day. Kelly and Alicia are beyond good… they are exceptional! If you’re not sure what to do for beauty services or hesitant about booking them, stop searching now because I promise you won’t be disappointed! -

Amazing!!!
Kelly did an amazing job for my wedding!!! Communication was always fast & professional. I was hesitant about hiring a makeup artist, as I usually don’t wear makeup everyday & the times I’ve gotten it professionally done it was just way too over the top…. But with Kelly, she was amazing, she really stays true to the natural beauty & enhances your best features. She really listened to what I wanted & made me feel so beautiful. She also did makeup for my mom & it was incredible! She made her look 20 years younger it was insane & mom was so happy!
I 10000% reccomend hiring Kelly for any makeup services!! -

Kelly and Alicia are a boom duo team
Kelly and Alicia are an amazing duo team! Kelly helped schedule and coordinate everything. Both were very responsive and timely. Kelly will put together a timeline for you and your bridal team for the day of.
Kelly took my vision to create such a beautiful and natural look. She took her time to capture and highlight each one of our features. You can tell she not only loves her job but it brings her such joy to work with each of the clients.
Alicia was so personable, she made you feel like you had known her your whole life. She captured such a soft and romantic look for each of us.
These ladies are outstanding and need to charge more for their services. Must hire this duo for your wedding! -

I really went back on forth on if I even wanted to do hair & makeup and I'm SO glad we did - Kelly was awesome and the results were perfect. She knew her stuff, was perfectly involved in the day, and had the best laid back vibe that matched what I wanted! Highly recommend!! -

Kelly and Alicia at Lovie's Salon are incredible! Alicia did hair on a total of 6 people (including myself) and Kelly did makeup just for me. They finished way ahead of schedule, too! I've never had airbrush makeup before and couldn't believe how light and long lasting it was. Kelly made me feel like the most beautiful version of myself! Both Kelly and Alicia made sure to take their time and explain what they were doing along the way. Alicia made little changes along the way to ensure I was 100% happy with my hair. My whole family (even those that weren't getting hair and makeup done) loved them. My only regret is that they can't do my hair and makeup everyday!! Thank you both for everything! -

The girls at Lovies Salon were AMAZING!!!! Alicia did hair on 8 gals including myself and Kelly did makeup on all of us as well. They finished way ahead of schedule and were very professional yet fun loving and relaxed. Alicia knew exactly what she was doing and exceeded expectations when I can in not knowing exactly what I wanted. While getting airbrush makeup done Kelly explained everything she was doing step by step. I could not have asked for a better salon to makeup look our best on my wedding day. I am so thankful for them and their amazing southern hospitality. -

Kelly was wonderful to work with for my wedding. So nice to talk to and professional! My makeup for the wedding was stunning, the airbrush looked natural and just made me feel my best. I never wear fake eyelashes so that was fun and they looked fabulous. After my trial I ran into the ocean to test out the lashes in some waves they stayed on haha! I think Kelly uses good products. In fact the makeup lasted till the day after my wedding, bonus. I highly recommend to any obx bride. She made “getting ready” part of my wedding day stress free and fun. Thank you Kelly -
