    Wonderful experience

    I loved working with Kaitie! I was having an out of state wedding so my timeline was a little different since I didn't get in until a few days before the wedding. But Katie worked with me and my schedule. We did our trial hair and makeup run 2 days before the wedding in her studio. I had sent her some inspiration photos prior to meeting to give her an idea of the look I wanted and she nailed it. I felt so beautiful on my wedding day, and she did a great job on my mom's makeup too. She listens to your wants/ideas and executes it perfectly! She's very pleasant to work with and an extremely experienced hair and makeup artist who you can feel confident in. 10/10 recommend booking Katie for your wedding hair and makeup! You won't regret it!

    Bridal Perfection

    THIS WOMAN! I do not have enough kind words in my vocabulary to express my wonderfully amazing experience with Kate for my bridal makeup. Kate is the type of soul that makes you feel at ease as soon as you meet her; which is quite helpful for someone like me who knows little to nothing about makeup/skin care. Her makeup package includes a trial run, false lashes, day-of touch up kit and an absolute PLETHORA of brand name cosmetics and skin care products. I felt like I was a work of art. She made me look and feel stunning on my big day and for that I cannot thank her enough. My bridal party all were equally happy with their results and enjoyed their 45 minutes of chair time with Kate. So, all I have to say is stop browsing makeup artists right now and just hire Kate!

    Wedding hair

    Ruth who works for Kate was my stylist, she was the sweetest soul and did my hair beautifully! She did great with my young nieces hair and made everyone feel so comfortable! Kate helped get everything going and Ruth helped from there!

    Talented team to get you ready for your wedding day!

    Kate Tuma and her team of hair and make-up artists did a wonderful job getting my wedding party ready for our wedding. They were very professional, on time and fun to work with. I would highly recommend using them.

    The best styling by the best people

    First off, Kate and Ruth are incredibly talented, made me look and feel like a billion bucks, which I am so so grateful for, especially on a day that was so very special to us (and that had a thousand photos of me taken, so well timed for that too :P ). Secondly, they were just the most professional. I have a huge fear of critiquing people or their work, they are one of the few I have ever met who made me feel *completely* at ease providing "edits" during and after our trial run, they took each tweek to heart and seamlessly created the look I was going for (well, actually, WAY BETTER than the look I was going for!), I truly feel so grateful for their attitude and openness. But thirdly, they are just the sweetest. Spending time with them was a pure joy, and I like to think I can call them friends now (and they me!). Just, overall, the whole situation was 1000 out of 10.

    Took My Makeup Vision & Surpassed It

    I could not recommend Kate and her team enough. I have used her in the past for hair and makeup and have never been disappointed. She knows how to customize styles based on face shapes, skin tone, etc. My bridesmaids and I’s makeup and hair could not have been more spot on. They provide such a natural look that stands out in photos!

    Gorgeous hair and make-up don’t by Kate.

    Kate is amazing!! Our wedding was a surprise elopement from our kiddos. They thought we were having family photos taken. I had hired Kate to do all the girls hair and make-up. She showed up to our rental right on time and completely prepared. Kate did great work. All our hair and make-up was done perfectly. I highly recommend Kate, she does does beautiful work effortlessly.

    Beautiful work and fun, friendly service!

    Kate was a pleasure to work with. She was flexible, affordable, and knowledgeable. She was very professional and worked hard to ensure that my bridal party looked great, while prioritizing me as the bride. I got tons of compliments on my hair and makeup from both our engagement photos and wedding- both done by Kate. I highly recommend her services!

    Amazing wedding makeup!

    Kate did such a fabulous job! If it weren’t for this app deleting my detail 3 times, there would be a lot more listed here lol. But trust me, if you choose her you won’t be disappointed. She did a great job on makeup for myself and my bridesmaids. Her hair styling looks great from others, but I had already booked by hair stylist before I found out about Kate. Thanks again Kate!!

    Just pick Kate

    Kate did my hair and makeup for our engagement photos, and hair for our wedding. I live in Portland and was able to easily communicate w/ Kate about style and logistics. I simply showed her a few photos, and she made it happen! She is super talented, and a lovely person on top of that. Highly recommended.

    Wonderful!

    Katie did my engagement photos hair and makeup and killed it! She totally honored what I asked for and our photos turned out wonderfully. My photographer was so pleased with her work!

    Awesome! Such a great choice!

    Kate was amazing! Our venue was in the middle of no where with no cell or internet service. She managed to find our location and even arrived early. My hair and makeup was just what I wanted and stayed so well. I cannot thank Kate enough! I would absolutely recommend Kate for anyone looking for hair or makeup needs! Thanks again!

    Highly recommend

    Kate made me feel not only extra beautiful on my wedding day, but also made me feel comfortable and like myself. As someone who doesn’t wear a ton of make up and wanted a very natural look I was nervous to get my hair and make up done, however all those reservations disappeared when working with Kate. She listened to my wants and brought them to life, along with adding touches I didn’t even know I wanted. She also took numerous trial visits with me before my wedding to make sure I was comfortable with my look for the day. She’s the sweetest!

    So talented!!

    I'm a minimalist when it comes to makeup, so I was nervous when it came to hiring someone to do hair and makeup as I feared that I wouldn't feel like myself. Kate did my hair and makeup for both our engagement photos and wedding day and was so intentional about making sure that I looked natural! She has an incredible ability to identify and highlight your features and is simply a wonderful and easy person to be around. Kate also did an incredible job with my bridesmaids - I had picked a more neutral color palette and she put all my girls' fears at ease by making them look incredible with the pale dresses! She was incredibly efficient, yet thorough, and we were done with plenty of time for photos. She is also very fairly priced, especially relative to the other vendors in the area. Kate made me feel beautiful and natural and I could not recommend her enough!

    The best ever!

    Kate is the best in the business, hands down! I live in Portland and none of the artists even come close to her skill. Having her do hair and makeup for my wedding was an absolute dream. I was nervous when I first began my search but then I came across the gorgeous Kate. She is fun, personable, truly skilled in her craft, and I have always felt I was talking to a long time friend. I’m so happy we found one another. Not only does she create the best hair and makeup, her prices/packages beat the competition. She even offers discounts if payments are made early which is a life saver when trying to budget a wedding.

    I did my trial run with Kate in Bend and then went downtown for some shopping afterwards. I have never received so many compliments on my hair and makeup, and that was just from my trial! On the day of the wedding Kate arrived early and had everything set up before her team joined. She was organized, well prepared and professional. Not only did she take care of my hair and makeup, but also my five bridesmaids plus family...in record time I might add. I also have a scar on my shoulder that I wanted concealed and thought Kate was going to add a little makeup to it. Nope, she brought a device to spray tan and have it completely covered and match my skin tone. She went above and beyond and no one could tell I even had a scar after she was finished. My hair and makeup lasted the entire day and throughout the evening and I never had to do any touch ups which was fantastic. I was able to focus on the happiest day of my life!

    When I look back on my wedding day I am so grateful that I found Kate. I have never felt so beautiful and truly blown away by her flawless skill and execution. Thank you so much for making me feel stunning on my wedding day!

    Love,
    Taliesin

    Elopement hair and makeup

    I would highly recommend Kate for anyone who needs hair and makeup done for weddings or other events! She was personable, quick to response to email or phone, flexible, and professional. I received countless compliments on her hair and makeup work for my elopement and I was so happy with the results!

    Flexible and Talented

    Kate is a superwoman! I contacted her last minute in a panic after my first makeup trial didn't go as planned and she responded to my email right away on a Saturday night. She got in the next day and put all of my worries to rest - she's so talented and kind. All of my bridesmaids loved chatting with her and her amazing hair and makeup! I had some minor tweaks from my trial for the wedding makeup and Kate exceeded my expectations, I felt gorgeous and like a true bride.

    Amazing Hair and Makeup Artist!

    I hired Kate to do my wedding hair and makeup and I am beyond glad I did! Kate is so sweet and did such a fabulous job. I looked exactly how I wanted to on my wedding day.
    I had quite a big group getting services from Kate and she got everyone done on time and everyone looked so gorgeous. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking to have their hair and makeup done on their wedding day!

    Incredible... Love her!

    I truly can’t say enough great things about Katie. I was an incredibly picky bride. I wanted everything to be perfect, as most of us brides do. Katie did my makeup for my engagement photos and my wedding.

    She was incredibly patient with my indecisive attitude. She made me feel super comfortable the first time I met her and my engagement pictures were stunning.

    On my wedding day, I was a stressed out mess. Katie not only made my entire group look picture perfect, but she was able to make me feel relaxed and calm. She went way above and beyond to help my special day flow smoothly. My hair and make up looked great. I couldn’t have asked for a better person to share my special day with.

    Thank you Katie! I am lucky to have had the honor to work with you!!!

    Beautiful Makeup!

    I hired Kate to do my hair and makeup for me and my bridesmaids at my wedding and it was nothing short of exceptional! She did a trial run prior to the wedding where we talked about everything I wanted. All the photos turned out incredible and I’m so glad I trusted her with my special day!

    More than a Makeup Artist

    Kate and team did an amazing job! Kate made having a destination wedding less stressful and you could not ask for a better support person! She handled the pre wedding jitters like a true professional and you could not have been more kind and calming person. Her makeup and hair skills are truly out of this world!

    I have nothing but amazing things to say about Kate! Not only is just an amazing person but an amazing hair and makeup artist. She made me feel like Carrie Underwood. My hair was too die for!! It was the most naturally looking extensions I've every seen. Also my makeup was flawless and stayed on all day. Kate was super easy to be around and understood everything that I asked for. I did the test run and it was stunning, then the wedding day was even better! I received so many compliments from my friends and family on my makeup. She is really great at listening to you and what you want. I brought photos and she made me look exactly like I wanted. Honestly the best!!!! I would recommend Kate for any event, but especially your big day, you won't be disappointed!!! :) :)

    Kate is absolutely fabulous! As a young bride I have had the opportunity for her to do my prom hair and makeup over the past few years and she always outdoes herself! With my age it is sometimes difficult to see myself as looking like a mature woman, but Kate always manages to make me feel stunning! I cannot wait to have her to my bridal hair and makeup as well!

    Kate and her team are absolutely amazing. My hair was absolutely perfect - I felt the most beautiful I have ever looked. All of my bridesmaids and Mom looked stunning as well. On top of how amazing her styling talents are, Kate is an amazing person...just a joy to talk with. She chatted with my bridesmaids and I, keeping myself and my bridesmaids (mostly me) calm. Kate is just wonderful. If you are looking for a hair and make up stylist in the Bend area, book Kate Tuma Make-up artistry. I promise you will look and feel your very most beautiful self on your wedding day! :)
