Philly's own, FOX NEWS ANCHOR- Brian Taft and Mara Webb's wedding is the first photo you will see.❤️Your Bridal Stylist (Previously known as: KLP HAIR AND MAKEUP DESIGNS) is a wedding hair and makeup artist/ who also does production hair and makeup. My studio is based in Newtown, Pennsylvania.

Business name change came after switching names....I have been recognized by both The Knot and Wedding Wire for over a decade for outstanding service to the community for Hair and makeup, currently having 211 reviews.

I SPECIALIZE IN SOFT GLAM-Minimalist looks, but can do full glam if asked. My style is known for, "less is more", rather than clown makeup. 😬

Hair and makeup review

Kristen was phenomenal. A couple family members and I asked her to do hair and make-up before a wedding reception for each of us, and we could not have been happier with our decision. In addition to be super responsive, easy to communicate with, and extremely flexible and understanding, she is exceptionally talented. She was able to create each of our looks exactly as we envisioned them (each one different from the other, highlighting her versatility). We were all in love with how our hair and makeup turned out. One of the best parts about working with Kristen is that she really wants you to be a part of the process and asks you at each step of the way if what she is doing matches your vision...and she does not stop until she gets it perfect. If we are ever back in her town again, we will most certainly be working with her again!! Talented, sweet, and professional. SO happy we found her.
