The perfect glam!

We are so grateful to have had Kristen get us ready for our big day! She communicated frequently from the moment I contacted her all the way up to the wedding and after! She is incredibly talented and made me and my wife feel the prettiest we have ever felt. Not to mention she is super funny and a treat to be around ☺️ if you ever need any glam done, Kristen is your girl!

Since it’s been about a week, I wanted to tell yall that I cannot thank you and your team ENOUGH for making us truly feel so beautiful this past weekend. You are not only amazing at what you do, but the group of girls and I agree that you guys really made our day with how generous and kind y’all were. For some, this was their first time getting a service done like this, and it ran so smoothly and everyone felt gorgeous. Thank you for being on your feet and flexible, but also respectful of the wishes of everyone around y’all. It could not have been a more perfect day. From the bottom of my heart, thank you.
-From the most grateful bride 🤍

The best experience

I cannot say enough good things about these ladies and their work. They are so friendly and did exactly what I asked for my hair & makeup on my wedding day. My bridesmaids, our mothers and I all felt so beautiful and confident on the big day. Our hair and makeup lasted all night despite humidity and lots of dancing!

Extremely Talented!

Kristen & Erin were so sweet and amazing to work with! Myself along all of my bridesmaids' hair and makeup lasted the whole wedding day. And we started at 9AM! I found her through my sister who also used her for her wedding day in 2019 and has continued to use her services even after the wedding.

Beautiful bridal hair and makeup

As soon as I spoke with Kristen I knew I wanted Prim & Powder! She answered all of my questions and made me so excited to be glammed up for the big day. I loved my wedding hair and makeup, Kristin and Erin did a wonderful job making myself and my bridesmaids look and feel our best. They were attentive and took their time, and I couldn’t be happier with the results!

Great experience!!

Both ladies from Prim and Powder were super talented, kind, and helpful. They accommodated my sisters entire bridal party and and every bridesmaid received the hair-do and makeup look that they desired. We were so happy with this vendor! We will definitely refer them to others.

Incredible!

Choosing Prim and Powder was one of the best decisions I made for my wedding. I never realized it until after the wedding, but you really spend most of the wedding day morning with hair and makeup! I couldn’t be happier that these sweet ladies were there. Not only were they INCREDIBLE at both hair and make up, but they were SO sweet and accommodating to everyone’s wishes. Each of my bridesmaids had different hairstyles, and they mastered each one! Everyone’s makeup looked like out of magazine, even my grandma’s! HIGHLY recommend these ladies. So thankful they spent their morning with us on my big day! 🤍
