the best my hair has ever looked!

Katie is amazing!! We didn’t do a trial, but she saw my inspo picture and made it come to life! She made my hair look so beautiful and full! The curls held up all night and even the next day. My whole bridal party also loved their hair! Katie definitely knows what she’s doing and won’t fail to make you look great on your big day.

Best Hair Stylist EVER

Katie was amazing - from my trial to the day of. At my trial she repined and recurled multiple times to make sure it was exactly what I wanted. The day of, she didn’t mind that I still had changes and then proceeded to give me my dream wedding hair. Everyone in my bridal party and both mom and mother in law got their hair done. Katie came with an assistant and not only were we ready before the guys, but everyone truly felt beautiful. Not to mention, Katie is SO fun. She and her assistant made my wedding morning super fun, singing and laughing along with us. If I ever have a special event in the future, I will most definitely be using Katie again. The best ever. Thank you!!!

Wedding Hair

Katie genuinely made my day so easy, flawless and wonderful! First off, she’s so easy to get along with and takes a simple picture of what you’re wanting and creates a masterpiece out of it! I don’t have a single bad thing to say about her as a person, but also not a single bad thing to say about her as a professional and about her abilities!! She was so attentive to what I needed and wanted as a bride and would go to any length to make sure I was happy, calm and feeling good throughout the whole process and morning of my wedding! Her products were flawless as my hair stayed in place ALL night without looking caked with hairspray. I really do recommend her to any bride!!!

An absolute must book!

I was an October 2023 bride. I found Katie when I was reviewing tagged photos from my venue and was intrigued by the great reviews I saw. I immediately started following her and reached out to her about a year in advance. She was very responsive and kind. She is upfront with all prices and how the booking process works. She entertained every single question and offered guidance. Katie gave me great advice and assurance that everything would be perfect whether I went with my naturally curly hair or straight hair. I was happy to book her services for Bridal hair, 3 bridesmaids, 2 moms, 1 guest and a flower girl. During the process, Katie was able to color match my hair for Bellami Hair Extensions so I could have them available for my hair trial. Katie is full service. She cut and washed my extensions for me and had them looking great for wedding day. Everyone was thrilled with their look. To ensure we finished on time for photographs, Katie brought an assistant and she was a pleasure to work with as well. I cannot say enough about how great Katie is. I really wanted to step out of my comfort zone and have a beautiful look and Katie made that happen. If you're looking for someone talented, kind, reasonable, and honestly a FUN time look no further than KatieReaderHair. I felt like I was getting the professional services of a high end salon but at the same time, I felt the comfort of a great friend.

Bridal hair Stylist

While I may be a little biased (I’m Katies sister in law) I couldn’t stop myself from telling everyone how amazing I think Katie is and how ABSOLUTELY STUNNING she made me feel on my wedding day on 10/22 this past month. I couldn’t recommend Katie enough. She made me feel so stress free on my wedding day and she talked me off a ledge more than once when I was feeling stressed about the timing of everything. I am someone who struggles to feel beautiful in my own skin, but let me tell you Katie and her talent played such a big part on how pretty I felt on my wedding day. She is one of the most kind, talented, and amazing people I know and I am so lucky to call her my sister in law!!! BOOK KATIE! You will not regret it! 🤍

Incredibly flexible and made me feel beautiful

Katie is absolutely incredible. Not only is she the sweetest human, she truly cares about making you feel beautiful and also comfortable with your hair! She is here for you and does the best job. I had done two trials with Katie and even on the wedding day we decided to combine the two and she made it perfect. I felt like a princess. Even my new husband messaged Katie the day after the wedding to thank her for doing such an amazing job. Katie is like family and I will miss seeing her so much! If you want beautiful wedding hair, you will never regret picking Katie! Thanks for everything Katie :)

Katie gave me my dream wedding hair!!

Working with Katie was one of the best decisions I made for my wedding! We had such a fun time getting ready together and laughed the whole way through. She worked on my bridesmaids and my mom as well and they were so so happy with their hair!
Our hair lasted the entire night and our guests even made comments about how it still looked beautiful after hours of craziness!
Thank you so so much for such a great experience, Katie 🥹♥️♥️♥️

Absolutely amazing.

Katie was very quick to reply to all my messages. She was great with giving me tips on the styles I was interested in. Katie was so sweet and nice. We clicked right away during the hair trial. She was early on my wedding day and brought some great extra stylists since I did have a big wedding party. She was professional but with the biggest heart. She did a killer job on my hair and the rest of the party. I got compliments all day and anyone who sees photos from my wedding day tell me how beautiful my hair was.

The absolute best!

Katie is the best!! I have very curly hair and struggle to find people who can manage my hair. Katie exceeded all my expectations and made me feel absolutely gorgeous! My hair lasted literally all day in the summer humidity and rain! I got so many compliments on my hair! She’s such an amazing, talented person and one of the best decisions I made for my wedding was hiring her!
