About

Hello there! My name is Kathy Xiong, owner of KVX Bridal & Beauty and I'm a Hair Stylist and Makeup Artist. I was raised and born in Sacramento and now I live in Chowchilla, CA. My passion for makeup started 12 years ago. I was a self taught makeup artist and started learning from watching YouTube videos like how many freelance artists started. My first makeup gig was for a local Pageant event in Sacramento where I grew up and it was such a great opportunity that I wanted to grow and see what the beauty industry had to offer. I started focusing on Bridal Makeup and it's been the best decision I've ever made. I get to meet so many amazing brides and get to travel around the Central Valley. Once I was able to get more experience and feel more confident, I decided to take this more seriously and turn it into a career to support my family. As a military wife and a stay at home mom, I decided to go to school and become a Professional Hair and Makeup Artist here in Fresno.

Growing up, wanting to become a Makeup Artist was a dream I felt was a little too difficult to reach. In the Asian Culture, we were taught to grow up and become teachers or doctors. My parents always told me I would never make a living off of a career like being a Hair and Makeup Artist. So I never chased that dream of mine. Soon after having my own children, I wanted for my kids to do what they love and follow their dreams. That had made me realize and opened my eyes. So I made the decision to follow my dreams. I was able to accomplish a goal I had thought I would never be able to achieve. I believed in myself and worked hard to become independent and a businesswoman.

Now, I have my own business called KVX Bridal & Beauty and it is located in Fresno, CA. I specialize in Bridal Hollywood Waves. I have been licensed since 2018 and I'm currently taking clients for Bridal Hair and Makeup. I also cut hair and color hair in the salon when I am not traveling for weddings.

I wish to work with Brides and give them the experience they dreamed of. I always enjoy chatting with my brides, working with them to create looks that they have in mind. My favorite part is the magic of it all coming together and the moment the Bride sees herself. Those are moments that will last forever.

When I am not traveling to weddings, I am in the salon doing hair coloring, hair cuts and Bridal trials. I also offer hair treatments and Blow Outs for my cients.

Kathy is the best

WOW. Kathy is a master of her craft. Her attention to detail is impeccable. Kathy did my hair and make up for my engagement shoot, and then I hired her for my wedding. I cannot say enough wonderful things about her work. I looked like a princess, my mom looked like a princess. I am in love with my look. If you are an Asian bride especially, look no further. You will not regret hiring Kathy. She is an expert in Asian skin. Thank you, Kathy!

Love her work!!

This is a review for the Couture Bride package. If you are looking for a total package, look no further! I definitely enjoyed my time working with Kathy during the trial session and the morning of my wedding day.

Makeup and hair trial: I loved the trial session. If you are unsure about what kind of look you want, I recommend doing a trial session with Kathy. It is worth it! Through this trial, Kathy was able to learn what I liked and disliked and it definitely helped made my wedding morning easy!

Overall, Kathy is a talented individual, and she is very passionate about her work. I loved how she took her time to do my makeup and hair to ensure that I look flawless — I received many compliments from my husband and everyone.

I will definitely book her again for future events. Thank you again, Kathy!

Kathy is the BEST of the BEST!

She went above and beyond on my wedding day from fanning me and fixing my hair during pictures to coming back to the venue after the ceremony to change my hair piece for the reception. I was amazed by her work ethic and not to mention my Hollywood waves looked stunning my hair looked amazing all day/night. Oh & she gave me the cutest little gift before she left. (: Book Kathy you will NOT regret it.

Best in town

Kathy is good at what she does. I came across her work on IG. I booked my wedding trail hair and makeup for my engagement pictures and fell in love with how it turned out. I was going for the Hollywood wave hairstyle and she achieved the look. I booked her for my wedding. She came to my hotel suite at 6am (ceremony was at 9am). She came prepared with all her MUA tools. She is very sweet and professional. We stayed in contact the entire time leading up to my wedding date. No detail was missed. I highly recommended her!!!

Professional & Talented

It has been a pleasure working with Kathy for my bridal trial and during my big day. She is easy to work with, professional, and talented. I’m from San Diego, so Kathy was flexible in scheduling our bridal trial. She was always on time for our appointments and her work is amazing. I’m so glad I was referred to Kathy for my makeup and hair. I was indecisive with my lipstick color and she was so patient with me in working to find the perfect color for my big day. I would recommend Kathy to my family, friends, and anyone who needs makeup and hair services. She is talented and awesome!

10/10 highly recommend!

Kathy was amazing as I booked her for my wedding day for myself and my mother in law (bride-hair only & mother of groom-makeup and hair.)
As a cosmetologist myself-I know what should be provided and expected as a bridal stylist. Kathy definitely met my expectations and provided excellent services. Very well priced for services and great customer service with quick, detailed responses since we could only communicate via phone due to I live in a different state and hired Kathy for my destination wedding in CA.
I told Kathy my vision and what I expected for my hair, and she made sure to accommodate all my requests and fulfill my dream wedding hair goal!
My mother in law was very pleased with her hair and makeup as well and looked excellent in pictures and in person! She was very satisfied with her services!

Bride's Makeup & Hair

Kathy is professional, kind, and delivery the best service for you. I first met Kathy in March 2019 when she did my hair as a bridesmaid. I received lots of complaints that night. Kathy also did my hair and makeup for both my bridal shower and wedding. Again, received lots of complaints. I love that Kathy takes her time with you and make sure you look your best. She will also give your professional suggestion, too. I highly recommend you to book Kathy for your service. You will NOT be disappointed.

Quality and Amazing Skills

Kathy is absolutely talented in makeup and hair. I completely trust Kathy's skills. I have worked with Kathy on two occasions, both wedding events. She did a Hollywood glam style on one occasion and the next was an updo. Both my curls and updo stayed in place the entire night and day, even though my curls were done at 5am! Kathy is great at what she does. She's professional, respectful, skillful and flexible. She was willing to squeeze in doing two hair styles as a very last minute request. I recommend Kathy!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
