    Amazing & Affordable

    I searched for weeks trying to find the perfect stylist and makeup artist for my wedding, and I’m incredibly grateful I found Katie. She was not only professional and punctual but also so much fun to work with! Neither my bridesmaids nor I had a clear idea of what we wanted for our hair and makeup, but Katie knew exactly how to make us look and feel perfect. I absolutely loved the look she created for me on my special day, and her rates were some of the best I came across. I highly recommend her for any event!

    Incredible

    Katelyn is absolutely amazing, and made my wedding hair and makeup dreams come true! She was so down to earth and so easy to work with, taking notes on all style preferences and tweaked any look to the brides perfection. She was a one-woman show for my wedding, arriving exactly on time as promised. She did hair and makeup for 10 of my ladies, mothers of bride and groom, and the bride herself. All of the women in my wedding looked stunning, and I felt like a goddess! My makeup was exactly the way I wanted it after the trial, and my hair was gorgeous and stayed all night. She got all of us done up to perfection in 2 hours with more than enough time leftover in our timeline. Highly recommend!!

    Katie helped me to feel so regal!

    I would highly recommend Katie as your wedding hair and makeup stylist! She was so fun and bubbly and made the morning much more relaxed. It was so nice getting pampered and beautified! She and her assistant did my hair, as well as 4 bridesmaids and 2 mothers in about 3 hours. Everyone looked so beautiful!

    Incredible-Can't Recommend Enough

    I got married on Halloween this year. I can not recommend Katie and her team enough. First of all they are AMAZING at what they do. Super professional. They exceeded our exceptions and brought to life all the ideas the bridesmaids threw at them. My eyebrows have never looked better. We booked you at the last minute but I can't imagine having anyone else. It felt like two additional girl friends getting ready with us and listening to music. Thank you, both of you, so much for being apart of my big day!

    Katie was perfect!

    Katie tailored specifically to what I wanted. Her and her MUA were able to get 8 of us ready in a such a small amount of time, and was even kind enough to include a last minute hair addition. My hair and makeup lasted all night, along with my entire bridal party’s (including my 4 year old’s long hair!) I’m absolutely amazed. She was super sweet and they were both very personable and professional. I would absolutely use her services again!!

    Just hire her already!

    Katie and her assistant were STELLAR. They had to drive 2 hours to get to our wedding near Quantico, but they were SO amazing, fun, and worked their butts off to get 9 ladies hair and make-up done in under 6 hours. It was an absolute pleasure to work with her - the hair + make-up trial was super fun to get to know her during, and all of my bridesmaids had a blast with the two of them helping us all get ready. Would absolutely recommend - she made all of us feel like fairy princesses and woodland nymphs (which was totally the vibe I was going for at our wedding). Can't recommend enough - an absolute sweetheart and professional!

    Top notch! Voted best personality and Katie was awesome!!!

    I Knew from 1st time I spoke to Katie at Curl up and dye that it was going to be an awesome experience and it was! Katie was professional, on time, great personality and wow what an amazing job she did on all the girls hair. My daughter's wedding was amazing due to Katie. Curl up and dye was priced economical with classy updated hair styles for all the wedding party. I would highly recommend Katie as she is calming and knew exactly what every girl wanted. Thank you curl up and dye for the amazing job!

    Hire Katie!

    I would highly recommend Katie and her team at Curl Up or Dye. My hair was absolutely perfect, simple, and stayed curled all night long in unexpected humidity during my May wedding. Even though I had a small wedding party Katie was flexible, listened to exactly what we wanted, and was very prompt with time. We even were all ready early which allowed us to have fun and enjoy a stress free day. Thank you Katie for exceeding all expectations!

    Many thanks to Katelyn, of Curl up or Dye Beautiful Kreations, who did my daughter’s hair and makeup for her wedding. Katelyn arrived promptly at the hotel at the scheduled time with all her equipment and beauty supplies – very professional. Katelyn even spruced up my son-in-law’s hair for no additional cost. My daughter, Amanda looked beautiful and received many compliments. I highly recommend Katelyn.

    Katie and her associate were exactly what we wanted. They came to the wedding venue on time with all the supplies and worked so efficiently! They were both patient and responsive to what we wanted. All of the girls were really happy with their hair and it stayed in even with lots of dancing. Definitely recommend Katie and her salon!

    Katie was awesome! So easy going and easy to talk to. Definitely a great personality to have around on such a special day! If I ever need professional makeup again, I know exactly where I'm going! She did TWO trials for me for pictures, and 6 hair and makeups day of, including my mom and grandmother. She brought help and they were just awesome. Willing to travel to you!

    Katie was incredible!!! She was responsive, professional, fun, and did an AMAZING job with my hair and makeup as well as my mom’s hair on my wedding day. She even helped one of my bridesmaids put the finishing touches on her own hair, even though she was only there for me and my mom. A joy to have as part of the big day, and a wonderful artist! Thank you, Katie!!

    These women came in on time on my wedding day and handled my massive wedding party with ease. They were not only so very fast, but created such high-quality results that held up all day long. My hair looked incredible for my wedding day, and lasted for 12+ hours of dancing and revelry. They couldn't be more highly recommended, and couldn't be sweeter people.

    Katie did an amazing job on me and my bridal party. She has so much talent and so many ideas. She made me and all the girls feel absolutely beautiful and not to mention we all had the absolute best conversations as well. From our hair to our makeup hands down the best talent. She is so sweet and does such and amazing job I will continue to use her services as my personal hair dresser.

    I cannot speak highly enough of Katie! She made me feel the most beautiful I have ever felt.

    During the process, she was flexible with trials and always listened to my concerns and doubts (I’m an indecisive person!). She was never offended if I asked for a change.

    On the day of, she traveled to me and my bridal party with no charge (within Richmond area). She did 3 full hair and make-ups and one make-up and was quick and efficient. My makeup lasted all day and my hair made it (mostly) through hours of crazy dancing.

    Budget wise, Katie was extremely affordable! I would highly recommend her!!!

    Let me tell you about Katie. I had a last minute switch with my bridal portraits that left me without a hair stylist. At the point it was Friday and my portraits were on Sunday. I quickly went on to WeddingWire to see if I could find anyone. So I found Katie and called her. She was so kind and nice! She told me that she would be happy to do my hair for me! She opened her closed salon on Sunday to do my hair for me and even was kind enough to touch up my makeup for me before my portraits! She also did a killer job with my hair! I seriously would recommend her to anyone! Top notch!

    I don't think you could find anyone better. Katie was like a second maid of honor; she was as busy making sure everything was perfect and fun as she was doing hair and makeup. Katie worked carefully during my practice session to create the most flattering look that I was thrilled with, she even let me bring my dog along for my convenience. During my bridal portrait session she even helped me clean my engagement ring and gave me a Crest White Strip so I would look as beautiful as possible for my photographs and let me take her own makeup to the session for touch ups! On the wedding day itself, she was there for hours more than she promised, and could not have been more helpful! In addition to doing the hair and makeup for the bridal party, she was helping others for no additional charge without anyone having to ask. She helped wrangle a toddler flower girl's hair after she rolled around on the floor, she assisted the Mistress of Ceremonies with her eyebrows, and even touched up the groom before our reception entrance with some powder so the photographs would be perfect, as well as assisting me with changing my shoes so I could dance comfortably. Katie went outside and helped arrange the flowers, rose petals, and programs before the ceremony! Katie loves weddings and treats her job joyously, which is so nice during an otherwise stressful time to be able to lean on someone so competent and considerate. I could not recommend highly enough, Katie was a godsend.

    I was a bridesmaid in my friend's wedding on 6.11.2016. Katie was phenomenal! She did both hair and makeup and listened when I asked her to make minor tweaks. I showed her a picture of the hair style I wanted and she matched it perfectly. She also did touch ups to our hair and makeup right before the ceremony began since all the bridesmaids were running around and sweating in the heat! Another plus - the make up lasted a LONG time in the 90 degree heat! I'm getting married next year, and I'm considering booking her for my wedding as well since she's not only reasonably priced but is a one stop shop for hair and make up.

    Katie is amazing! I am using Katie for my wedding hair and makeup. I did a hair and makeup trial with her and it was so awesome I decided to book with her for my boudoir hair and makeup. She listened to what I wanted and looked at my pictures to see what I had in mind. She takes pride in her work, and if she doesn't like it (or you!), she has no issues fixing it. I'd definitely recommend her!!!

    Great natural wedding makeup!

    Katie and her assistants did a fantastic job on my bridal party makeup. They had nine women to do in 4 hours. They listened to all of us and our unique needs. They even re-did hair and makeup for some girls who were particular about it. I loved my hair and makeup! I was going for a more natural look and I felt like even with all the makeup on I still looked like me! I would highly recommend working with her for your wedding or other event.

    Beautiful hair and makeup!

    Katelyn and her team did such a beautiful job! I found Curl up or Dye on short notice before my wedding, but Katelyn was able to fit me in for a hair and makeup trial. On the wedding day, they arrived early and set-up right away. They worked hard to make sure everyone was happy with their hair and makeup. I was so happy and would definitely recommend them to anyone.

    Would absolutely not recommend

    For the price of what she charges and the quality of work I would highly recommend finding anyone else. Several of us took the makeup off. It was not blended at all. The eye makeup looked so uneven. The lashes had to be fixed several times. When we expressed how unhappy we were she tried to charge us more than what she had in her own contract. She was rude and didn’t make the morning fun it was actually miserable. If you want a glow fresh look you will not get that. Airbrush looks like it is caked on.
