One may presume I am biased for my infinite adulation for Karen Miller because I have been a client of hers for nearly two decades now, however, please believe me when I promise you that if I had solely happened upon the KEM Cosmetics Studio on a whim, this jewel of an artist would deserve every bit of praise given!

From extensions to coloring to cuts to fabulous makeup…Karen provides absolute works of art! I trust no other hair & cosmetology designer to style my ‘mane’ & makeup…so much so, that even when I moved multiple hours outside of the Bay Area/Monterey region, I still (to this day ~almost eight years later!) make the long travel, solely so I may visit my fabulous stylist, Karen to work her exceptional magic!

Whether my appointments be a routine refresh or a special occasion, Karen consistently delivers flawless results that always make me feel confident and beautiful!

Where Karen truly outdid herself was for my wedding in Carmel, CA… Not only was I graced with the gorgeousness of KEM Style’s stunning artistry, my entire bridal party’s hair & makeup were exquisitely done & completely tailored to each bridesmaid’s preference. Every look was elegant, timeless, and somehow still completely efficient ~as if Karen’s beautiful brilliance was effortlessly created!

If you’re seeking a professional who genuinely cares about her clients, listens to their every request, and possesses the skill & talent to bring your aesthetic visions to life ~look no further… Karen Miller of KEM Style is an absolute gem!

From the moment Karen and I spoke I knew she's the one I wanted to hire for my Wedding hair and makeup. Karen is quick to respond, the utmost professional, and truly brings the energy into everything she does. I told her I'm a type A and she stated she is as well, I can confirm she's a type A bride's DREAM. She understands the importance of pacing during your wedding day and makes sure to educate you on the importance of extra time so you can relax and fully enjoy getting ready in the bridal suite, also she's ALWAYS EARLY! She's so fun to talk to and be around. She's adaptable and let us add on a couple services day of. My eyes watered a lot due to allergies and Karen was so kind and calm and kept re applying things until they were perfect. Thank you so much Karen we have truly enjoyed working with you and can't wait to hire you again!

Karen did a phenomenal job for my entire bridal party (3 bridesmaids and 2 younger girls). She did both hair and make-up for everyone and added extensions for my hair. She got done with everyone in the time she indicated and everyone was very pleased with both their hair and makeup that day.
