10s across the board for KaLa Ketchum Makeup & Hair

If we could go back in time and plan our wedding all over again, I would continue to choose to work with KaLa Ketchum Makeup & Hair – without hesitation! KaLa and her team are an absolute delight to work with. Prioritizing the bride’s vision for the wedding day look, KaLa offers a hair/makeup trial session during which she works closely with you to provide consultation, offer suggestions, and experiment with different styles to get your desired look just right! KaLa was graciously open and receptive to my feedback/notes, and she was consistently responsive while we stayed in touch via email during the planning process – all of which I very much appreciated! I truly felt valued while working with KaLa. On the day of the wedding, while getting ready, KaLa’s team flawlessly stayed on schedule for myself and my 4 bridesmaids. KaLa and her team also just very down-to-earth people and so comfortable to hang out with for the numerous hours we all spent getting ready! Friends and family continue to praise how beautiful the bridal party’s hair and makeup looked on the day-of and in photos, with which we wholeheartedly agree! I’m so grateful to KaLa Ketchum Makeup & Hair!!

Stellar Experience

Kala made my wedding day dream come true! I felt the most beautiful I have ever felt thanks to Kala! It was such a pleasure to spend the morning and early afternoon with her on my wedding day, laughing and sharing together, and making me feel my best I have ever felt. She knocked it out of the park with both my hair and makeup I cannot thank her enough

KaLa is a great choice for your wedding hair and makeup!


I used KaLa for my wedding makeup and hair and I cannot have been more pleased. We started with a trial in the months leading up, I had a general idea of what I wanted but couldn’t articulate it well at the time. During the trial we were able to figure out my style and make a plan. KaLa is extremely knowledgeable and knew just how to tweak what I wanted when we were in the planning stages. I felt extremely confident in what we decided on and her humor, kindness and flexibility made me ready for the day. On the day of, everything went smoothly and my makeup lasted all through the night, it was just the right amount of coverage I wanted without feeling like I was wearing a ton of product. I have a lot of hair, so getting the right level of wave without me looking like Shirley Temple was big for me, KaLa was able to get my hair exactly how I wanted- and having the trial first definitely ensured that. KaLa is such a vibrant person, who is a professional at this MUA/Hair stuff! I highly recommend her services for your upcoming wedding or big event.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

As a photographer, I have worked with many, many makeup artists and I can tell you Kala is fantastic! It is so important for a brides makeup to be not only flattering, but reflect light correctly. Kala not only did a wonderful job initially, but even spent time with touch ups between photos to insure my bride was flawless! She made my job so easy since editing was completely unnecessary. I would be honored to work with this amazing artist again. You will love her!
