Sidney Sent on 06/01/2025Elopement hair and makeup of my dreams!
Katy did my hair and makeup for my elopement and she exceeded all expectations I could have had for myself to look and feel!! I am not one who normally wears a lot of makeup, so I didn’t really have an exact vision of what I wanted. Katy made me feel so at ease by taking the lead but giving me options during the whole getting ready process. I felt like myself in the end, but polished and confident! We had a long day that day, and I was shocked when looking at the mirror at the end of the night and not one hair was out of place nor were there any imperfections in my makeup! I am so happy that Katy played such a huge part in my wedding day. I can’t imagine having a more calm and fun getting ready experience for that day.

Tara Sent on 07/30/2024Amazing hair and makeup artist!
Katy & her team are amazing! From before my first bridal trial to even cutting my hair the morning after the wedding to be fully prepped for my honeymoon, Katy went above & beyond. The entire wedding process Katy was very responsive and helped me feel heard. Katy has now become a good friend of mine. On the wedding day, Katy and her team arrived extra early to help accommodate my bridal party and I. Everyone looked so beautiful. If you want to look extra amazing for your wedding day I HIGHLY recommend Katy and her team! -

Alexis Sent on 01/29/2024No Other Words To Describe Except Obsessed
I was looking for the perfect team to do my hair and makeup for my wedding and Katy was the first one to pop up where I LOVED her style and her makeup application. She was the only HMUA I chose to do a trial with and it was a one and done. I loved everything about her. Her style, her personality, her kindness, her professionalism, and her work.
From there, she was super easy to work with if needing to add or take off any hair or makeup for my bridesmaids. I also decided to have my hair and makeup done, last minute, for my rehearsal dinner and one of her girls, Erin, did SUCH an amazing job. She was also so much fun to work with and we immediately hit it off because of our love for all things BRAVO!
My hair and makeup stayed put all day and night for the wedding and I loved everything about it. Katy listened to anything I asked and made her recommendations based off of what I had said. She was amazing and all of my girls loved her. Erin did all of the hair for my bridesmaids and one of my girls said she loved it more than what she had on her wedding day! AMAZING! Katy did everybody's makeup, including mine plus my hair and my girls were so happy with what they got.
I cannot recommend Katy and her team enough! -

Caitlyn Sent on 01/27/2023You will NOT regret hiring Katy!
I hired Katy for my wedding hair & makeup and wouldn't change a thing. I first reached out to do a trial to see if I liked her & her work for my engagement shoot. She KILLED IT. I have pretty thick & very long hair and a lot of times when I get my hair done as a bridesmaid, my hair just looked balled up and pinned to get it all up. I explained that to Katy and showed her some of her styles I like from her instagram- I told her what I did and didn't like about multiple styles and asked her to try and make something from all the examples I showed her and when she turned the chair around I was blown away and so shocked about what she created! My makeup was also flawless and stayed on & looking good through a hot outdoor engagement shoot. After that, I knew I had to book her & that the extra fee to have Katy be your lead stylist was 100% worth it. For wedding day, I really enjoyed that pricing was given up front and everyone (bride, bridesmaid, etc) was required to pay ahead of time before the big day so that no one was scrambling to find their venmo, confused on pricing, etc on the day of. I liked that Katy and the team just showed up, did their thing, and business was already handled. On my wedding day, I had quite a big wedding party but she and her team stayed calm, cool, and collected the entire time which took a lot of stress from me. Anything I had a problem with, Katy was so nice and reassured me that everything would be perfect by the end, and she wasn't wrong. Katy is the type of person you just wish you were friends with by the time she has to leave. I was so impressed with everyones hair, but really loved that everyones makeup still looked good and fresh at the end of my reception! You will not regret hiring her and her team for your wedding. You will be SO glad you did when you look in the mirror after your dress in on that day, and you'll be reminded again when you get your photos back and see just how gorgeous she made you look! -

Rachel Sent on 09/21/2022Boudoir Experience
Katy is AMAZING. She knows boudoir just as well as hair and makeup! She was my lead stylist at my wedding, and I had never felt more beautiful. I knew that I wanted to work with her again for a boudoir shoot as a first anniversary gift to my husband. My hair and makeup came out perfect again this time, and though I was extremely nervous before the shoot, Katy was so sweet. She guided me the entire time and made me feel so comfortable. She knew exactly how to position my body for the most flattering shots, and I got to see the photos as we went though the shoot. The studio was so beautiful and had so many options for different experiences, and I am IN LOVE with my photos! This makes the perfect day-of gift for your S/O or a first anniversary gift - I cannot wait to show my husband my album on our anniversary! Thank you, Katy! -

Katy is the BEST!
Katy is so incredible! I came across her work on Instagram and knew I wanted to work with her instantly. She really listens to what you want and is up on the latest bridal HMU trends so she can help make recommendations. I was picky about my makeup and she was so relaxed and understanding and she helped make my wedding day look absolutely perfect! I have never felt so beautiful and it was even better to see how incredible my bridesmaids and the moms felt on the wedding day because their hair and makeup was all stunning. I had ten bridesmaids, along with my mom and MIL getting their hair and makeup done and Katy and her team crushed it. They were so chill and kept us on schedule but didn't ever make us feel rushed or stressed. They were also so fun and easy to talk to, and let us make ridiculous Tik Toks and take tons of photos. Katy also stayed and changed my hair up into a high ponytail for the reception after a down-do for the ceremony. Both looks were perfect and I got so many compliments on the ponytail! I cannot say enough great things about her :) Thank you so much Katy! -

The Absolute Best!!!!
Katy and her team did an amazing job! I had decided to do something completely different for my makeup on the day of (compared to what we did for the trial) and she really nailed it! All of my bridesmaids looked absolutely beautiful and were super happy with their looks. I worked with Yvonne to work out the details and book (prior to the wedding day) and she was very quick to respond and made my life a lot easier. If you are looking for someone to do hair/makeup seriously don't hesitate!
I attached a before and after for the makeup she did for the wedding so you could really see what kind of magic she does (no filter just natural light!!!). I have pretty intense rosacea and sensitive skin and it literally looked perfect all night! -

Trivino Sent on 12/06/2021Amazing Glam!!!
I had the pleasure of working with Katy Reddell Beauty at a recent wedding! Katy's expertise as a make-up artist is absolutely incredible! The bridal party glowed the entire time! Picture Perfect! And the best part is that their make-up lasted all night! If you're looking for an artist who will glam you with elegance and class, look no further! I highly recommend Katy for all of your make-up needs! -

Hire Katy and her team!
Katy and her team were the BEST! I was nervous about staying on time for the wedding day. There were 8 of us total including moms with many of us with long, thick hair. Katy and her team did an amazing job on our hair and makeup AND we finished early! It was so nice not to feel rushed and really enjoy the getting ready experience thanks to Katy & team! I ordered a hair piece that was a bit heavy (without talking to Katy) so it kept slipping and Katy was gracious about fixing it. Advice to brides - don’t get too heavy of a hair piece in case it slips!
She also did my bridal photos when she did my hair & makeup trial and did an fantastic job with my bridals photos too. Katy is a lady of many talents!
Katy had great response time to emails which is ALWAYS a plus too!
Choose Katy and her team for your hair and makeup! You won’t regret it! -

The best!
Let me begin by saying that Katy and her team are SO kind and talented. She is able to take your wedding day vision and transform it into reality for your big day. My maid of honor, mom, and MIL were blown away by Katy’s artistry. Highly, highly recommend booking Katy for your big day. -

Lauren Sent on 01/26/2021Made me feel like a queen!
It’s difficult to choose a HMUA when you’re not that familiar with the nuances in makeup application, so one of my bridesmaids helped me choose someone whose style was more glam and proficient in a strong smokey eye. Katy listened to my feedback from the trial, and my makeup look on my wedding day was a dream. My mom will not stop talking about how they made her feel the most beautiful she has felt since her own wedding day. I even had a bridesmaid who is a makeup guru and very particular, and Katy and her team were able to satisfy her! Interpersonally, Katy is super sweet and made me feel extremely comfortable both during my trial and on my wedding day. She has perfected her timeline and the entire hair and makeup process went exactly as scheduled.Katy Reddell Beauty's reply:
Thank you so much, Lauren! You’re the absolute sweetest and I so appreciate your feedback! I wish you all the best! -

Katy Reddell Beauty was a dream team for my wedding!! Every hair stylist and makeup artist on her team is so talented and gave each person in my bridal party exactly the look they imagined! The women were professional, warm and so much fun to work with on my wedding day! I had the luxury to work directly with Katy herself for my rehearsal dinner look and she was fantastic to work with! I highly recommend this five star team for your wedding day! -

M..l Sent on 06/23/2020COVID Bride -- Katy was AMAZING to work with!
From the very first email, Katy was friendly, honest, and professional. I originally booked her for our wedding 4-5-20, which was canceled by the venue due to COVID. When I emailed Katy requesting a refund since she could physically not perform at my venue since they closed, she was super professional and refunded my money immediately (minus the makeup trial which I felt was fair since she had taken time out of her schedule and used her resources on me). She was one of the ONLY vendors (out of 8) to refund us our money and she was kind and understanding about our canceled wedding--I cannot say the same about the rest of my vendors. I would HIGHLY recommend her services not just because she creates beautiful, flawless work, but also because she's sweet, ethical, and professional. BOOK HER! You will not regret it! -

Samantha Sent on 01/12/2020Flawlessly executed wedding updo & makeup!
Katy is an incredibly talented hair & makeup artist! I’m still receiving compliments about my wedding updo and friends have even asked for my photos so they can use them as inspiration for their own weddings. I met with Katy about 2 months before my wedding for my trial. Like most brides, I had Pinterest boards with inspiration and Katy carefully reviewed the photos and offered up her suggestions on which she thought would look best based on my skin tone and hair color/texture. I barely had any feedback for Katy after the trial - she really nailed it on the first try! Fast forward 2 months to my wedding date, Katy was punctual and brought such calm & positive energy to my wedding date. Katy somehow managed to make my hair & makeup look even better than my trial on the day of my wedding. My family & friends couldn’t believe how much volume she was able to create using only my real hair! My makeup also looked flawless! We decided to only use 1 layer of the airbrush foundation instead of 2 (which is what we did for the trial), and I was really happy about that decision as I looked more myself. Did I mention how much my family & bridesmaids LOVED their hair & makeup too? My mom can be really picky about her hair & makeup, and Katy made her look like my sister that day! I honestly couldn’t have been happier with Katy and Kasey’s services and would highly recommend them to anyone getting married in the Austin area! -

Alyson Sent on 10/21/2019She is wonderful
I loved working with Katy. She did all the bridesmaids hair and makeup as well as mine and everything turned out flawlessly. I was breaking out the weeks before (wedding stress.. you know) and no one could tell because she did such a great job. All of our hair and makeup just turned out so beautifully. She was also a pleasure to be around the day of - a very calming influence and just fun to hang out with. My bridesmaid has already decided that she is booking her for HER wedding too. -

Sarah Sent on 12/17/2018Perfect Experience!
Katy and her team did my bridal hair and makeup, along with 6 bridesmaids and 2 moms over a 5.5 hour period and they were amazing and efficient! I've never seen so many selfies being taken by my girlfriends and mom because they looked so great (hah!!). Katy is so professional and sweet and she truly wants to make you look your best on your big day. From the beginning when I did my trial for my engagement pictures, I was so happy with the results. Go with Katy, you won't be disappointed! -

Carly Sent on 10/21/2018Amazing hair and makeup!
Katy did a wonderful job on hair and makeup! She listened closely to all requests and everyone loved the results - when there is a 50 year age gap between guests, thats a huge accomplishment! Thank you, Katy! -
Kristin Sent on 09/06/2018Katy is absolutely amazing! On your wedding day you want to feel like you are your most beautiful self, and Katy did exactly that for me! I have never felt more beautiful! Katy is the sweetest person to work with, and she makes you feel so comfortable! She can take any vision you have and make it happen. Katy was so accommodating to me and all my bridesmaids and flower girls! She helped keep us all on schedule and make all of us look and feel beautiful! I could not have imagined anyone else doing my hair and makeup for my wedding! I highly recommend Katy for your wedding hair and makeup artist. You won’t regret it! I know I will be using her for several events to come!

Jenna Sent on 12/27/2017Katy is amazing. In the whole wedding process, hair and make-up were what I was most nervous about. It's a good week if I get foundation and mascara on once, so I was terrified of not looking like myself. Katy took my fears to heart and gave me a beautiful, natural look. My hair was perfect as well. I got so many compliments, all because of her! -
Kerbie Sent on 12/05/2017I loved working with Katy! After my dress wasn’t finished for my bridal portraits, she was so patient with rescheduling a last minute session for me. I showed her a ton of pictures that I liked “parts” of for my hair and she was able to piece each part together to make my dream hair style! I felt absolutely stunning after her makeup and hair work was done & would 100% book her again for any special occasion! She did a great job of making a similar, yet individual look for each of my bridesmaids. Katy and her assistant were so easy going and fun in the bridal suite as we got ready, which definitely helped calm my nerves.

Jenna Sent on 12/03/2017Katy and her two assistants (Bailey and Kasey) were absolutely amazing! We had quite an early morning due to our ceremony time and Katy arrived early and was quickly ready to get started! She made us (myself, 6 bridesmaids, mother and mother-in-law) feel and look absolutely beautiful. I could not have been happier with how everyone's hair and makeup looked --- she really took the time early on to find out what my wedding vision was and executed it on the day-of perfectly! I would not hesitate to hire Katy for any event!
Katy Reddell Beauty's reply:
Thank you so much for your sweet words, Jenna! We absolutely loved getting to know each and every one of you and had so much fun! I wish you and your new hubby a lifetime of adventure and happiness. I can't wait to see more pictures! -

![Megan]()
Megan Sent on 08/03/2017Katy is such a talented hair/makeup artist and she is also one of the sweetest people I've ever met. I went in for a hair and makeup trial a few months before the wedding and Katy nailed the hair and makeup look I wanted on the first try. Katy was so professional. On the wedding day, she had all of her tools and equipment set up in the bridal suite and ready to go before the bridesmaids and I even arrived. She is very good at responding to emails and paying her through venmo makes it super convenient on the wedding day! Katy did hair and makeup for me and one of my bridesmaids and she went above and beyond both of our expectations. I got compliments all night long about how amazing my makeup looked (even after I had cried a lot of it off during the ceremony. Katy left a touch up kit for me that did wonders)! Katy is awesome and I would recommend her services to any bride/bridal party looking for exceptional talent at affordable prices!Katy Reddell Beauty's reply:
Megan-- thank you so much for your kind words! It was such a pleasure working with you and your bridal party. You were absolutely stunning and I wish you and Brandon the very best! I can't wait to see pictures! -

Melissa Sent on 03/10/2026Exactly What I Envisioned!
Erin did an absolutely amazing job with my wedding hair and makeup. I was looking for the disney princess look, and she exceeded my expectations! Everyone couldn’t stop calling me Elsa throughout the night.
We did a trial beforehand, which was so helpful. I was able to talk through the look I wanted, and she really listened. Any tweaks I mentioned after the trial, she made happen perfectly on the wedding day.
The final result was exactly what I had imagined—elegant, beautiful, and everything I hoped for. I felt so confident and the look held up wonderfully throughout the day.
Erin is incredibly talented, attentive to detail, and wonderful to work with. I would highly recommend her to any bride looking for someone who truly listens and brings your vision to life! She is also a very sweet person and easy to get along with. -

Hannah Sent on 04/15/2022Katy is the best!!
Katy is amazing!! I wanted a natural look so that I really felt like myself on my wedding day- just elevated. Katy did exactly that. I felt like the best version of myself!
I hired her a year out because I wanted someone who was good at hair AND makeup and who ran their own business so I knew exactly what I was getting (vs a big company where you don’t know who did what for pictures they post). Katy exceeded expectations. She was so sweet and accommodating (even when we had some last minute requests for her), and I’ve never felt more beautiful.
Her team did a great job with my bridesmaids- and one of my bridesmaids loved Katy so much she booked Katy for her upcoming wedding!
After my makeup trial I had a few changes I wanted and Katy adjusted perfectly. For my hair, I gave her a rough idea and asked her to have fun and she nailed it! Also- what she did with my mom’s shoulder length hair was a work of art.
I cannot recommend Katy enough. She made me feel so incredible and she’s so kind. I loved spending the morning with her- and can’t wait to work with her again for my friend’s wedding!
She was a little hard to get a hold of for booking- but if you’re struggling with that keep trying- she is so worth it! E-communication isn’t her forte, but hair and makeup definitely are and she will show up on time, finish early, and make sure everyone looks amazing!! -
