Incredibly talented!

Katy is a very hard working and talented hair and makeup stylist. She did hair and makeup for my wedding day—she was responsive throughout the planning process, assisted me with creating the timeline for the wedding day, arrived on time, and efficiently moved through the schedule.

My mom and bridesmaids all looked gorgeous and were so happy with the looks that Katy created! I loved my hair and make up—I felt beautiful and also still felt like me! Katy is also warm and kind, and she created a space for me that was calm and comfortable. I highly recommend Katy for wedding day hair and makeup services!

Amazing MUA

Katy was sooo great! She was on time and ready to roll! She also came early per a time schedule change. She is flexible and super friendly! She goes out of her way to make you feel beautiful! Her makeup skills are top notch. I have a few skin issues and she listened to my concerns and made sure I was comfortable with everything! All of my bridesmaids looked absolutely stunning! I felt beautiful in my pictures as well. I seriously highly recommend her!

Great hair and make up!

Katy was so accommodating and made me look and feel my best for my wedding. She got my hair to do a half up/half down look with curls. I have never had curls last long before but Katy gave me curls that lasted over 12 hours. She was so attentive and made a schedule for the day of my wedding and made sure everyone was done in time. Everyone looked great and she was so great to work with! She definitely has experience doing weddings and it showed!!

Katy is a fairy godmother!

You MUST hire Katy! She turned me into an absolute princess on my wedding day. I've never felt more beautiful in my life! Not only did she make the planning process a breeze, but she also ensured that I was 100% taken care of on the day of. And best of all, I still felt and looked like me that day - I didn't feel too overdone or too natural - I felt just right. Needless to say, out of 5 stars, I would give Katy a MILLION! She is amazing!

Felt Beautiful Because of Katy!

When I tell you that Katy is the type of person that will make you feel beautiful both inside and out, I truly mean it. She is honestly one of the sweetest people I have ever met, and she truly understands how important it is that you feel your best on your big day! She did the hair and makeup for my wedding and bridals, as well as for my family and a few of my bridesmaids, and I have never heard my grandmother say she felt beautiful until Katy did her makeup. I was slightly indecisive on the days leading up to our day, and Katy knew EXACTLY what to do and say. I wanted something a bit more glam, and it was PERFECT. I am so glad to know her, and if I ever need someone to glam me up a bit, I will always choose Katy!

Book Katy Lynn and calm your nerves

I literally feel tears welling up when I'm thinking about my experience with Katy Lynn. I will be the first to admit that I was an indecisive bride, and I could never make a decision on how I wanted to wear my hair. I was an out of town bride, so I did my hair trial when I was visiting family in NC. It was a GORGEOUS up-do, it just wasn't me. Katy Lynn worked with me to find a hair style that I felt most like myself in, while still working with the NC heat. She came to me on the day of the wedding, fully prepared to keep doing my hair until I loved it. But guess what....she nailed it on the first try because we had communicated about it for months!!! Also- her airbrush makeup was so perfect, that all of my bridesmaids ended up getting it done as well. BOOK KATY LYNN!

Katy is amazing

Katy is exactly the kind of person you want around to help you on your wedding day. She was on time (in fact, a tiny bit early) and her energy was exactly what everyone needed. She’s amazingly skilled and I still look at my wedding photos and marvel at how good I looked.
