I felt BEAUTIFUL on my wedding day! Ky and team did an incredible job with me and the wedding party. I first met Ky when she did my sister's wedding makeup and I knew I wanted to feel that beautiful again on my wedding day. She works with all her clients months before the big day to make sure both the canvas (your skin) and makeup are impeccable before and on your big day. Take every recommendation she gives, she knows what she is doing :). Her effervescent character and soothing aura kept me, my bridesmaids, and my mother/mother-in-law all excited and calm before the big day started! If you have a wedding or event in the DMV, run to have Ky be your makeup artist.

Ky was awesome - she was friendly, calm, professional, and made me look amazing! First, she was very flexible with my timing and needs - I planned my wedding 2 months out and lucked out that it was a Sunday and she was available. Second, I have really sensitive skin and chemical sensitivity and the products she used did not make me break out in acne or hives. Finally, I looked incredible - she knew exactly what would and wouldn't compliment my features and was able to achieve the look I wanted despite the amount of hair that I had shed between our trial and the wedding day (thank you, stress). My pony tail had gotten noticeably thinner but she was still able to work her magic - including when the florist erroneously brought a floral barrette not a floral comb right at the last minute. Highly recommend!

I had such a wonderful experience working with Ky! One of my priorities for my wedding day hair and makeup was natural products as I had spent several years weaning out chemical-heavy beauty products from my routine. Ky was ready to meet that goal while also giving me a beautiful hair style based on my vision. Between being flexible during pandemic reschedules, to listening to the changes I was hoping for between the trial and the big day, Ky was responsive, creative, patient, and fun throughout the process! She also listened to the desires of each wedding party attendant, and made them feel and look special as well. I have and will continue to recommend her!

Ky of “Modern Green Goddess” and her stellar team managed to complete hair/make up almost every female in my family the day of my wedding (Nov 2021). When I told her all of the people that would be needing her services, she didn’t bat an eye and immediately coordinated with her colleagues to ensure they would complete the looks in time. Start time was 9AM and they were on time, professional, and communicated with us ahead of time on what they’d need from the hotel to ensure they could deliver on time and DID THEY EVER. Ky was a calming and fun presence on the day of my wedding and incredibly communicative in the weeks leading up. She reflects my ethos of clean, natural beauty and made me feel empowered to contribute to her work and advocate for my vision. Ky and her team were a part of the party and an unforgettable contributor to my dream wedding. I looked like MYSELF just a bit more enhanced thanks to Ky. Also: she specializes in mature makeup application, so she was able to ensure my grandmother was just as cared for as the rest of us. Thank you Ky!!

Ky was suggested to me by my wedding planner and working with her was one of the best decisions I made. Ky was flexible and accommodating through the appointment making process. She was also super helpful in collaborating with me on a look, as I'm indecisive and don't wear makeup regularly.

Ky gave me the perfect "makeup-less" look I wanted that LASTED ALL NIGHT. Definitely recommend and will be using her again in the future. Thank Ky!

I loved my makeup/hair with Ky! She was so flexible during the trial to get exactly what I wanted, and spent as much time as we needed getting it right. I had some (very) minor comments with the makeup itself and she took the notes exactly and delivered flawlessly on my wedding day. I had so many compliments on my makeup and hair, and most importantly, I felt beautiful. The makeup also photographed so well. Ky is such a sweet and lovely person - she made sure to set a calming vibe at both the trial and on my wedding day, and was a pleasure to work with! Can't recommend her enough!

I worked with Ky and Cynthia from Modern Green Goddess to provide hair styling and makeup services for my bridesmaids, my mother, mother in law and myself on my wedding day (May 2019). Throughout the whole process, Ky was a consummate professional and put me at ease, answering all of the questions that I had during the year leading up to the wedding and assuaging any anxiety that I had. I don't wear a lot of makeup in everyday life, so it was really important to me that I still looked like myself (albeit, a fancier version of myself), and Ky delivered. I am so happy with the results - my makeup and crazy curly hair, which usually frizzes up at any sign of humidity, stayed in place the whole night, even after we got caught in a rain storm during our photos. My bridesmaids and moms all looked beautiful and Ky earned high praise from my mother, who was possibly more nervous about her styling than I was. Beyond the actual hair and makeup, Ky, Cynthia and her assistant were so fun to chat with (Ky had to start styling at 7 am, due to the number of people in my party, so we ended up spending 6 hours together). They are wonderful and I cannot recommend them enough!

Ky did such a phenomal job on my hair and makeup! I stressed that i wanted a very natural look (similar to how i wear my makeup) and she blew me away! She did all of my bridesmaids hir as well. Ky only uses all natural products, so she even got the most stubborn hair (mine) to hold a style. Very impressed!!

Working with Ky was such a dream come true. She immediately understood the beautiful glowing, natural bridal look I was going for. I wanted to look like myself yet enhanced, and she designed a flawless makeup look and incredibly unique hairstyle for me in the 1st try at the makeup + hair trial. I have taken so many steps to be conscious about what I eat and what I put on my skin that I didn't want to have to make any compromises for my wedding day makeup. I was so thrilled to discover that Ky is the queen of natural makeup. She is an expert in sourcing non-toxic makeup and applying it in a way that photographs beautifully and lasts all day & night (even in the heat of our Memorial Day 2017 ceremony). The makeup felt weightless, like I was just my own skin. The products Ky used & her method of application allowed for my skin to be visible and breathe while also giving great coverage where I needed it, without being obvious. I felt so beautiful & radiant. I loved the look so much that I returned for a makeup lesson so that I could do the look myself for future events. Ky is a great teacher and has some amazing tricks for how to enhance your eyes and layering your makeup to last. On the wedding day Ky was on time & efficient. She did my hair and makeup, as well as the hair for my maid of honor and it was so great to start the day with Ky's calming touch and fun company as we were getting ready. I am so grateful to have found Ky, and hands down would recommend her to any bride.

I was committed to finding a makeup artist consistent with my values in using toxic-free ingredients and I am so grateful to have connected with Ky through our mutual work with Beautycounter (safer products made beautiful). I have so much gratitude for Ky. She is one of the most generous and giving people I have met and when I was searching for a 100% "clean beauty" makeup artist and hair stylist for my wedding ceremony and reception event in July, I felt such PEACE when I spoke to Ky and connected with her about my "goddess" vision and making it a reality. We did an in-depth consultation and as the big day neared, we discussed and kept in contact with subtle nuances and ideas. I am so happy with the results and I feel her skill, makeup/hair artistry, and work ethic matched everything I could have dreamed.
