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!!

I had a wonderful experience with KaLa as my makeup artist for the best and important day of my life - my wedding day! She is so friendly, personable, and professional about every single touch of makeup. KaLa is truly invested in making you look the most beautiful ever and adjusts makeup according to your style preferences. I recommend KaLa, who goes above and beyond, and does it with a big heart and smile. Thank you so much!

KaLa was absolutely incredible! I chose her because her portfolio showed how she brings out everyone’s natural beauty—and she did not disappoint. From the moment she arrived, she was warm, kind, and so professional in every way. She was also incredibly prompt, with great communication and timely responses throughout the entire planning process.

She handled every challenge with grace, including a last-minute venue change, shifting schedules, and even a power outage (thank you, PG&E!). She and her team were right on time and made sure everything went smoothly.

What truly impressed me was how she made everyone—no matter their age or skin concerns—look and feel beautiful. My 94-year-old mother looked like a model! The mother of the bride, the aunts, the grandmother, and I all got raving compliments. This was the first big event where I had to face the visible signs of aging, and I was nervous about how I would look. KaLa immediately put me at ease, and the results were beyond my expectations. My makeup was flawless at 7:00 am and still looked fresh at 1:00 am!

KaLa’s artistry, professionalism, and calming presence made the experience truly special and a great value. If you want to feel beautiful and confident on your big day, I can’t recommend her enough!

Kala did a wonderful job on mine and my bridesmaids makeup and hair. I woke up that morning with an allergic reaction and my face was a mess. She did a great job covering it up and making me feel beautiful on my big day.

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

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.

KaLa was so wonderful to work with. She did my bridal hair and makeup on my wedding day as well as H&MU for a few of my bridesmaids. She is so creative and talented and made us all look and feel glamorous! She did my H&MU trial as well a couple months before my wedding, which was helpful to figure out exactly what I wanted for the wedding day. I highly recommend KaLa and her team, and hope to work with her again someday!

Kala has the most amazing energy. She made sure my day was perfect! My make up was impeccable, and she is so kind and charming! she made the day even more special.

KaLa was the MUA for my bridesmaids and I'd highly recommend her to anyone getting married. Very affordable, flexible, and easy to communicate with -- basically everything you want in a vendor when you're planning your own wedding! Highly recommend KaLa.

Kala was amazing. She was super helpful and responsive, accomodating of last minute changes and just generally wonderful. I've never felt as beautiful as I did that day
