Amazing Experience

When I began my search for the perfect hair/make-up team for my wedding day, Jennie Kay Beauty came highly recommended by many people I spoke with. I immediately reached out and they were extremely responsive and easy to work with. Throughout the process, Jennie and her team were absolutely AMAZING. At my hair/make-up trial, Jennie took all of my recommendations and gave her expertise about what would work best for my hair type. She was super friendly and went out of her way to make sure what she did exceeded my expectations.

On the day of my wedding, Jennie and her team arrived right on time and were well-prepared. In addition to being extremely friendly, they ensured that all of my bridesmaids were pleased with the services they received. I had eight bridesmaids and three flowergirls and they actually got done ahead of schedule! The entire process was absolutely perfect!! THANK YOU!

Jennie Kay is phenomenal!

I highly recommend Jennie Kay Beauty to anyone looking for flawless wedding day hair and makeup. Brandon (my makeup artist) and Jess (my hair stylist) were both amazing. SO friendly and fun, professional, and I literally could not believe how beautiful I looked when they were done with me. They took all my photos and ran with it, giving me a look I wish I could have every day, forever. They even accommodated my need for all cruelty free products. Overall, I HIGHLY recommend!

Jennie Kay Beauty = Amazing!!!

Jennie Kay and her team are amazing. Jennie was one of the first vendors I booked for my wedding and I’m so glad I did! Jennie did my hair and makeup for my wedding, as well as a trial. At first, I wasn’t sure if I’d do a trial, but I’m glad I did. It was great to test out different looks and, most importantly, I loved getting to know Jennie and her team. It allowed me to go into my wedding day relaxed, knowing I was in AMAZING hands. Jennie is an artist and such a pro at what she does, while also being so easy to talk to and connect with on a personal level. Jennie is genuine and truly cares about her clients. I’ve never received a follow-up call after any other hair appointment, but a few days after visiting Jennie for my first color/cut, I received a call to see how my experience was and if I was happy with the result (so thoughtful!). Jennie’s team is also outstanding. I loved working with Morgan for color – she is amazing at what she does. When I had a few last-minute concerns about my color, Morgan and Jennie went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect for my wedding day. I loved having Jennie do my hair and makeup on my wedding day. She made me feel so relaxed throughout and truly made me feel like a bride. I can’t recommend Jennie and her team highly enough. Thank you, Jennie! xox

You book the best you get the best!

Jennie and her team were responsive, accommodating, and so very professional throughout my entire experience. With complete creative freedom Jennie was able to style our hair and makeup knowing what looked best for our faces and wardrobe that day. She created timeless looks that I can look back on years to come and have no regrets!

Jennie Kay and her staff were completely amazing from my trial look through my wedding day prep. We had a blast with them! They were patient and helped guide me through jitters to feeling like a very ready, beautiful bride. I can't recommend Jennie and her team enough. They went above and beyond, even giving members of my wedding party a lift to the venue when our limo didn't show up! A+ for effort!

Jennie and her team are amazing! I had a couple of bad hair and make up trials for my destination wedding and in swooped Jennie and Jess to save the day. They were flexible enough to travel with us to our destination wedding in New Orleans, Louisiana and to put up with all the craziness that entails. They were also very adaptable and flexible as people were constantly changing their mind about hair and make up... up until the day of the wedding. Jennie and Jess just went with the flow.
They provided services for 3 flower girls, mother of the bride, my three sisters-in-law, and a two grandmothers. It was a jam packed day for two people, but we ran on time (even a little bit early!). Everyone loved their hair and make up, which makes it even better!
You would be crazy not to hire them for your wedding!!

Jennie Kay Beauty is the best and their team is extremely talented! Jess (who's the best btw) did my hair trial and day-of hair. She took my inspiration and really styled my hair exactly how I wanted. Because I did the trial, it put me at ease for the big day. The salon was really easy to communicate with leading up to the wedding, and Jennie herself handled the booking of my appointments--she was so sweet! Huge shout out to Emily and Brandon who did my bridemaids' hair and makeup, too; they looked drop-dead gorgeous. Highly recommend!

As a bride who loves spending hours in Sephora and pinning bridal looks on Pinterest, hair and makeup was one of if, if not the most important, decisions I made for the wedding. I can wholeheartedly say that choosing Jennie and her team to work my wedding weekend was the best decision I ever made! Jennie is a master colorist and before the weekend got underway she colored my hair and achieved the exact color I was going for! Jennie did such an amazing dye job that my maid of honor said that she didn't realize my hair was in need of a breath of new life until Jennie's amazing color job! Her balayage skills are second to none and she is a true artist when she paints your hair. Jennie's team also did my hair and makeup, as well as my MOH's and my mom's, for my welcome party and again they knocked it out of the park. They achieved the exact look each one of us was going for, and throughout the evening we were showered with compliments regarding our hair and makeup looks. Jennie and Steph also did the hair for myself, my bridal party and the moms on my big day. Jennie and Steph created amazing looks that captured exactly what each of the women wanted but at the same time managed to make everything look cohesive. The weather on my wedding day was pretty windy and at the last minute I asked Jennie if she wouldn't mind staying for touch-ups, even though this had not been planned Jennie went with the flow and stayed to help out some more! Having spent so much time with Jennie and her team during the weekend, I felt like I got to know her and her team well and connected with them on a level deeper than one of stylist and client. Jennie is one of the most genuinely kind people I have ever met and her presence was both energetic and calming, as well as positive and caring. Jennie made sure everyone felt comfortable and loved the way they looked. I cannot truly put into words how grateful I am that I had Jennie and her team around me all throughout my wedding weekend!!

I booked Jennie and team for my wedding in November 2016 at Castle Hill. Hair and makeup was definitely something that was very important to me on my wedding day. I wanted to make sure that I felt my absolute best and worked with someone who I could communicate with and achieve the look I was hoping for on the wedding day. I'm the type of person who finds it hard to speak up so having someone that I felt comfortable doing that with was key! Jennie was a dream! I couldn't have chosen better hands to be in! Working with Erin on scheduling my trial and coordinating day of details was a breeze and everything went so smoothly! They showed up the morning of, on time and ready to make everyone looking feel beautiful and they nailed it! Being in located NYC, I was overwhelmed with having to choose someone I hadn't yet met, but when I did meet Jennie I instantly knew that she was the right fit! Jennie communicated with me every step of the way at both my trial and on my wedding day to make sure that I was happy and everything was exactly the way I wanted it to be. She also added great suggestions and insights to styling my hair a particular way that would hold in pictures and against the windy days that are common at Castle Hill. What I loved about Jennie is that while she was there to offer advice, she never once made me feel like I had to take it. She was there for guidance but ultimately let me decide. For anyone who has wedding day nerves like I did, you couldn't find a more calming presence to be around. I was so nervous the morning of my wedding and having her there helped tremendously! I felt like I was just hanging out with one of my girlfriends getting my hair and makeup done! I also loved that Jennie uses quality products for both hair and makeup! Overall I can't say enough great things about Jennie and team! If you're getting married, book Jennie!! It's a no brainer :)
