Kathleen Benjamin

Kathleen and her team were absolutely amazing to work with! From my initial conversation with Kathleen to my wedding day, she was always responsive and clear in her communication! The team took their time during my trial and did an amazing job, and when I decided to change my hair slightly on the wedding day she absolutely nailed it! On the day of the wedding, the team was set up and ready to go before we all got there, stayed on schedule, and was even completed with everyone before my photographer needed us to be ready! The team did a fantastic job with all of the bridesmaids and mothers and achieved exactly what they were looking for. Overall, I highly recommend Kathleen and her team for a natural look with a little glam!!

Kathleen and her team are true artists!! Our hair and make-up were done beautifully, felt natural, and held up easily through all the happy tears and dancing.

Kathleen did a beautiful job for my wedding makeup! So elegant and natural, it highlighted my features so perfectly. She was so lovely to spend the morning with and everyone in the wedding party looked stunning. I couldn't recommend Kathleen more for your event!

I was very nervous about choosing someone for hair and makeup, my family has extremely thick, long hair, and I wanted to make sure everyone looked and felt amazing. After doing a lot of research on hair and makeup artists in the NJ area, I came across Kathleen. Her reviews were incredible, so I decided to reach out and book a trial.
Kathleen was so kind, patient, and truly listened to the vision I had for my wedding look. My trial went perfectly, I left feeling confident, excited, and honestly so lucky to have found her. I loved everything about my hair and makeup that day.
As amazing as the trial was, Kathleen somehow exceeded all expectations on the day of the wedding. My makeup and hair lasted ALL night long, my wedding ran from 6 PM to 12:30 AM, and I didn’t need a single touch-up other than my lipstick. Everything held beautifully through photos, the ceremony, dancing, and hours of celebration.
Kathleen and her team arrived at 9 AM to set up, and we began at 9:30. We had six people needing hair and makeup, and the team worked efficiently while still giving everyone personalized attention. They finished right on time around 2:30, with final touch-ups done by 2:45. Everyone looked absolutely beautiful, and my bridal party couldn’t stop talking about how talented and sweet the stylists were.
The team was punctual, flexible, and incredibly easy to work with, even as we switched up the order, they kept the morning calm, fun, and stress-free. We truly had such a great time getting ready with them.
I highly, highly recommend Kathleen and her team to any bride looking for stunning, long-lasting hair and makeup and an amazing getting-ready experience.

I am so thrilled with how gorgeous everyone looked and how amazingly our hair stayed!!! Everyone’s curls were as fresh 10pm as they were at 10am. Kathleen gave me the perfect bridal look. She incorporated all the feedback from my trial and I'm amazed how well everything held up throughout the day and night despite lots of tears!

Kathleen and her team were amazing! I liked how Kathleen took the time to meet with me and understand my vision for my big day! My make up was amazing as was my hair and not only that, my bridal party looked amazing! Everyone loved their hair and make up. Kathleen was very clear with communication, provided me with clear instructions on what to expect and how to be ready for the big day, which I needed. I am glad I chose her for my big day and thank you Kathleen and team for making me and my bridal party look gorgeous!

Kathleen and her team were absolutely amazing to work with! From my initial booking with Kathleen, my hair and makeup trial, to my wedding day, Kathleen was always responsive and clear in her communication. Kathleen and her team took their time during my trial, did an amazing job, and were so receptive to my feedback.
On the day of the wedding, the team was set up and ready to go right on time, stayed on schedule, and had plenty of time for touch-ups before my photographer needed us to be ready.
It was so important to me that I look like myself on my wedding day and I could not have been happier with my hair and makeup – a true natural look with a little glam! My hair and makeup, along with the bridesmaids and mothers were so gorgeous and lasted well through the night!

Overall, I highly recommend Kathleen and her team for a natural look with a touch of glam!

Kathleen was my wedding makeup savior because our original hair and makeup plan fell through last minute. Kathleen responded almost immediately and I was able to set up a trial with Gina and Lauren within a week. I was so happy with the trial and Kathleen sent me multiple photos that I was able to look at and communicate with her and the team about what I wanted differently. Her studio is clean and comfortable, and having the trial took a lot of anxiety out of the whole process for me. The planning portion with Kathleen was also a breeze because of her and the team’s flexibility and quick response time. On the day of the wedding, Gina, Sahna, and Lauren were truly artists with myself and the bridal party/mothers. I was most nervous about my hair and Gina worked patiently with me to create my dream look. All three of our artists were also just nice and pleasant people to have around on a stressful morning. We all felt so beautiful and the hair and makeup lasted until 2 am. Across the board my bridesmaids commented on how natural their makeup looked. We were so happy with our experience! - Shannon

Kathleen and her team were everything I was looking for and more! From my hair and makeup trial to the big day. They made my bridal party and me feel so comfortable and beautiful. I couldn't recommend Kathleen enough, truly the best hair and makeup artist!

I had a pre-wedding event where Kathleen was going to do my makeup and hair, and I absolutely loved the way my makeup turned out. I knew I had to have her for my big day, and she kindly accommodated my request. She listened to what I wanted and made me feel beautiful on both days. I had makeup for my wedding ceremony, and it lasted the whole day and looked perfect throughout the evening reception.

I 100% recommend Kathleen and Val for your big day! Communication was always great, her professionalism was impeccable, and she’s so nice as well.
