Holy cow! Wowza! Amazing!

Okay, I am CRAZY about my wedding hair and makeup. Miss Cat was our stylist and she did such amazing work that I feel like words cannot describe it. Even if I did an interpretive dance, I doubt that would be able to convey how great her work was. Miss Cat did the hair and makeup for myself, the matron of honor, and my mother. She completely knocked each look OUT OF THE PARK! People were actively hitting on my mom. My matron of honor looked ethereal. My hair and makeup didn't budge the entire time, too! I felt like the most beautiful bride, mixed with an alien fairy Greek goddess. Miss Cat was such a pleasure to talk with, and I am wishing her all the best!! Good luck with nursing school, girl. You've got it in the BAG!

Perfect for small wedding parties!

They were so great! Easy to work with and had everything myself and my MOH needed to feel gorgeous on this day! I can’t recommend them enough. It can be hard to find someone who does hair and makeup for just a small wedding party but it was no problem with them. It was perfect.

Hair and Make-up for 50th Anniversary

We enjoyed working with Indigo Collective for my Mother’s hair and makeup for her 50th Anniversary Party. We were paired with Katie. She clearly had a ton of expertise and immediately understood the look and style my mother wanted, so she was able to offer great suggestions to make it happen. My mother doesn’t usually get makeup done, and Katie really made her feel comfortable and excited with a glammed natural look. My mother now wants to get makeup lessons from her. We’d recommend Indigo, and especially Katie, for any event. Thanks Katie!

Love, love, LOVE them!

If I could give Indigo Beauty Collective a zillion stars, I would! Cat was my lead artist alongside Katie Laine, and I cannot say enough amazing things about them. I was very anxious the morning of the wedding, and the second I sat down with Cat, all of the stress melted away. Both of them have such a friendly, calming presence, and it made SUCH a difference day-of. From the trial to the background communication to the wedding day, they were nothing but incredible, and I just want to be their best friend.

They also did an absolutely amazing job with every. single. one. of the ladies that they worked with. I have never felt so beautiful (but still like myself!). Every person was so happy with the natural, effortless look that they achieved – my bridesmaids are still raving about it months later! I could go on and on and on, but if you’re on the fence, just book them already!!!

Cat was the absolute best to work with! She was so caring and kind, and made me feel so comfortable and calm before my elopement at Drakewood Farms. Cat has a true gift when it comes to doing hair and make-up and I would highly suggest Indigo Beauty Collective. Thanks again Cat! ❤️

Would Recommend

Very nice and professional. More focused on getting a personalized look for all of the women and making sure it was to their liking. They were flexible in moving our start time on short notice. Lead artist stayed on to do a hair change between the ceremony and reception. Was amazing!

The best choice you can make!

I wholeheartedly, hands-down, no-questions-asked recommend Indigo Beauty Collective for your event! They did the hair and make up for me, my mom, and all my bridesmaids for my wedding and they did an INCREDIBLE job!

First of all, they're so well organized and were a dream to work with logistically. The portal they have makes it really easy to communicate with their whole team, send payments, etc. and they always got back to me really quickly.

Cat did my hair and make up trial before my engagement photos and not only did she do an amazing job, but she asked for feedback after to see if there was anything I wanted to change for my wedding day. When she arrived on my wedding day to do my hair and make up she pulled up a note on her phone that had photos from my trial as well as notes on the feedback I had given which made everything on the day-of so smooth!

They sent over a schedule for the day as well as preparation tips a few weeks in advance to make sure that everyone was ready and the morning could go off without a hitch.

Cat, Kinsey, and Amanda were at my hotel suite for 4 hours the morning of the wedding and did hair and make up for 8, including the bride and mother of the bride. They were all so sweet and lovely to hang out with and did a great job making sure everyone got exactly the look they were hoping for. They built in time for touch-ups for at the end so even those who had their hair and makeup done first were looking perfect and fresh as we left for the wedding.

It must have been over 100 degrees in the tent where the wedding ceremony took place and we were standing in direct sunlight, so all of us were sweating a ton during the ceremony. But somehow all of our hair and make up looked PERFECT the whole time!

I could not be happier with my whole experience with Indigo Beauty Collective. I highly recommend them!!

Absolutely phenomenal!

WOW! Let me just say, I am so grateful that we went with Indigo Beauty Collective for our wedding hair and makeup. Cat and Kinsey made the morning of the wedding so relaxed and fun! They did a phenomenal job on everyone's look and highlighted everyone's natural beauty! It was the perfect look for the big day! They were both so kind, professional, and helpful- not to mention incredibly talented! My trial run with Cat was very helpful and we had a blast chatting- I was sad when it was over! I now consider Cat a friend and am trying to find a reason for her to do my hair/makeup again- haha! I felt so beautiful and my look lasted the entire day and night- I was sad to take my hair down/makeup off at the end of the night. I would highly recommend Indigo Beauty Collective to anyone who has need for hair/makeup artists for any event.

From KC to Nashville - Indigo Beauty Collective was the right choice!

I am from Kansas City but my fiancé and I wanted a wedding in Nashville on June 24, 2022. I am 44 year old so I am not your typical bride. I wanted someone that understood that I didn’t want to be overdone with make up on my big day but still wanted to look beautiful. I reached out to Indigo Beauty Collective and set up a consult via zoom. The whole process was very easy and Indigo was very responsive. The make up artist/hair stylist I was paired with was Cat. From the moment that I started speaking with her I knew that I had made the right choice, even if we weren’t actually going to meet until the day of the wedding, she put all my worries at ease. Cat showed up promptly to my hotel and was ready to get started. I can't imagine a better hair and makeup artist to have for one's special occasion, especially one's wedding, than Cat. She was kind, thoughtful, knowledgeable, artful, and a true professional. With her attention to detail and artistic touch, she made sure I looked like the best version of myself. I truly felt so beautiful but not overdone in any way, I don’t wear a lot of makeup typically and I never do fake eyelashes, Cat made sure that she did just the right amount of everything, so I still felt natural. Lastly, she also did my hair and she matched my pictures that I had given her 100%. My closest friends, family and especially my new husband were blown away by how amazing both my hair and make up were. It was 100 degrees on my wedding day and we had an outdoor ceremony and my hair and make up lasted the entire day and through our reception perfectly. Thank you, Cat with Indigo Beauty Collective, for making this 44 year old bride feel beautiful and special on the greatest day of my life.

Subtle, beautiful, clean hair and makeup that lasted all night!

Katie-Laine and her team are phenomenal. They come from years of makeup experience, and Katie-Laine strategically selects clean products that are good for long-wear and in my case, sensitive skin. Her and the team make the getting ready process fun, they engage with you and want to hear your stories. She asks questions throughout the process to make sure you're continuously comfortable and happy with your look. I didn't have to touch up once and felt beautiful. My bridesmaids looked incredible too. We were very fortunate and grateful for the Indigo Beauty Collective.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
