Kissandmakeup amazing!

I cannot say enough amazing things about KiSSandMaKeUp!

Kely did our makeup and Vika did our hair!

Pamela, the owner, from the moment we started working together, was professional, responsive, and truly understood my vision for my wedding day.

I honestly did not even do a hair or makeup trial because of their reviews and they exceeded all of my expectations.

On the day of the wedding, Kely and Vika went above and beyond to make not only me, but my entire bridal party feel absolutely beautiful, confident, and taken care of. Their attention to detail, calm energy, and ability to keep everything running smoothly made such a difference in what could have been a stressful morning.

My hair and makeup were everything I had hoped for and more. It lasted perfectly all day and night, through happy tears, dancing, and everything in between. I felt like the best version of myself, which is exactly what every bride wants.

What really stood out was how many guests came up to me throughout the night to compliment not just my look, but my bridesmaids as well. So many people asked for their contact information and said they plan to use them for their own weddings and events in the future which speaks volumes!

If you are looking for a talented, reliable, and genuinely wonderful hair and makeup team, I would recommend KiSSandMaKeUp a thousand times over. They played such a huge role in making my wedding day feel as special and perfect as it did.

Mother of the Groom done perfectly

Pamela and her team were wonderful with communication, performance and transparency of fees. I went in for a trial in the shop a met Sandy, who was extremely personable and did a wonderful job! She asked what was looking for and did just that! On the day of the wedding Sandy was timely and did a fabulous job with my hair and makeup. I’m so happy with how everything went and cannot recommend enough! Thank you!

Exceptional!

I had an incredible experience with the KiSSandMaKeUp team. The artistry and preparation to ensure my day was perfect made the entire process feel effortless. What really set them apart for me was how they handled an unexpected last-minute change requiring a different hair stylist to step in from that of my trial. Instead of it becoming a source of stress for me, Pam handled everything with such grace and complete reassurance that all would be okay. She communicated clearly and adjusted the plan seamlessly. The hair and makeup team, Kate and Shainna were flawless. They both listened to everything I wished for and elevated more vision to something even more beautiful. My look lasted all day and made me feel amazing. Their artistry is undeniable, and I couldn't be more thankful!

Great choice for Wedding Hair and Makeup!

I was so happy with my experience with KiSSandMaKeUp for my wedding day! Kate and Sandy both arrived on time and finished early. Kate did makeup for me, my sister, my mom, and my MIL. Everyone wanted different styles of makeup, and she executed them all perfectly. Since I don't usually wear makeup, I tend to find professional makeup too heavy, but Kate made me feel beautiful with a more natural look, while doing full glam on my sister who loved it. Sandy also did an amazing job. Everyone complemented my hair, and everyone else loved how their own hair turned out (my mom in particular said her hair looked better than any other time she's gotten her hair done). The whole process with KiSSandMaKeUp was seamless and flexible. Truly, I could not recommend the whole team enough!

Totally Recommend!!!

Pam was very responsive and organized during the planning process. I really appreciated receiving an accurate and detailed quote up-front. Wedding planning is expensive and it took any guessing out. I had a great trial and that process helped me define the looks I was going for. I had a larger wedding party and including bridesmaids, parents, and a flower girl, there were over 10 of us needing hair and makeup services. The artists, Elena & Kate (makeup) and Emily & Anny (hair) were amazing. On time, professional, kind, and excellent at what they do. We finished slightly ahead of schedule somehow which was a feat given the size of the group. I've never felt more beautiful than I did on my wedding day, and isn't that what we all dream of?? Seriously, they were great and all of my favorite people looked and felt their best, too. I would totally recommend this team to anyone looking for hair & makeup services for their wedding or any other important event. Thank you!!!

A beautiful experience for our beautiful day.

Pamela and her team went above and beyond to accommodate us for my daughter's wedding. I had to make the plans from out of town and she was always prompt in her responses, and flexible when certain aspects of our schedule changed. The hair and make-up trials were so beneficial. It took all the worry out of how things would go on the day. Our technician Liz was a warm and happy spirit who made our preparation time part of the celebration. I couldn't be more grateful to KissandMakeUp for handling all of our needs with such care.

Felt Like an Actual Princess, The Dream Team!

I cannot thank this team enough for everything they did! From start to finish, they were kind, talented, and so thoughtful. They made my entire family and me feel absolutely beautiful—there truly aren’t enough words to express how grateful I am. I felt like a princess on my wedding day, and that was all because of them.

Not only did they do stunning work, but they also handled the day (and a bit of family drama!) with such grace and professionalism. I’m beyond impressed and so appreciative.

If you’re thinking of booking them—DO IT. They are worth every single star and more. I’ll be cheering them on forever! This team deserves all the love and recognition.

Absolutely amazing!

These lovely women did hair and makeup for my wedding and I couldn’t have been any happier! They absolutely killed it!! Shaina did hair, and Adrienne did our makeup and on top of them making us feel beautiful the girls were fun and made everyone feel relaxed. Pam the owner is extremely helpful with any questions, she’s organized, good communication and fast to respond. 10/10 would recommend.
Adrienne also did a few tattoo coverups for me and it was like magic, could not tell there was a tattoo there!

Loved kamu!

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Shirley (hair artist) and Elena (makeup artist)! They were absolutely incredible on my wedding day. From the start, they went above and beyond, working with me through multiple trials to ensure everything was exactly how I envisioned. They truly listened to my preferences and gave thoughtful suggestions to create a look that felt like me, only elevated.

On the big day, their professionalism and calming presence were unmatched. They made the whole process stress-free and fun, and I felt completely confident in their hands.
