    Wonderful experience with Kirstie

    I would recommend Kirstie in a heartbeat. Due to the craziness of the times, my original hair and makeup artist had to cancel several days before the wedding. Within an hour of contacting Kirstie, she had responded asking to set up a call that evening to talk. I immediately felt comfortable with Kirstie due to her personality, knowledge, safety precautions during Covid-19, and experience.

    We had an early morning wedding, and Kirstie was at my place setting up around 5am. She definitely made up for how early it was with her conversation and calming presence. As for hair and makeup, I gave her loose guidelines, but she surpassed any expectations with a natural but polished look and updo. Both my hair and makeup stayed in place for the entirety of the day and looked gorgeous in photos.

    Again, I would recommend Kirstie for anyone looking for a professional, talented hair and makeup artist. Thank you for a wonderful experience Kirstie!

    Amazing Hair and Makeup Artist!

    Kirstie and her assistant were absolutely amazing for my wedding hair and makeup! Kirstie was great from start to finish... she was easy to communicate with, quick to respond, able to fit me in very fast and was so flexible when our engagement shoot was rained out a few times! Now, my wedding hair and makeup.... I can’t say enough great things about it! Both were stunning and exactly what I wanted! My makeup was beautiful, soft and natural. I had so many compliments. It poured rain on us during our ceremony and then we partied hard all night and I have to say... my makeup and hair looked PERFECT all the way to the last dance! It was incredible. I could not have been more impressed! Kirstie is very talented and I had a great time with her! I would absolutely recommend her to anyone!

    Kirstie was absolutely wonderful from start to finish! I had a difficult time finding an artist for my destination wedding and coming from another state, but from the moment she called me on the phone(which happened to be the same day I emailed her with interest), she was so warm and easy to talk to. Extremely professional and with over 20 years of experience, whether it’s a trial or the big day, she really takes her time and listens to her client. It was so wonderful coordinating with Kirstie and so accommodating both with travel and finding extra artist for my 7 bridesmaids hair and makeup. I highly recommend Kirstie for any and all Makeup and hair... I’m so glad I booked with her! She made me look and feel like a princess. I absolutely love her!

    Kirstie Wight Makeup Artist is a magician! She did make up and hair for me and my step-daughter at my recent wedding - and she simply transformed me into a stunning bride (if I do say so myself!). Everything about working with Kirstie is seemless; from the planning to execution, she's on point in every way. She also managed to help me relax a bit during my hair/makeup session, and helped me get into the groove for a perfect day. I would highly recommend her for any hair/makeup needs!

    Kirstie and her team were amazing! They made me and the rest of the wedding party feel like the most beautiful versions of ourselves! Kirstie was a constant calming force the day of my wedding and was a great addition to our day. I would suggest Kirstie and her team to anyone!

    I hired Kirstie to do my hair and makeup for my rehearsal dinner and wedding, and I couldn't be happier with my decision. As someone who doesn't wear a lot of makeup, I am usually hesitant to get my makeup done professionally because I feel like it always turns out very heavy and unnatural. When I met Kirstie for my wedding hair and makeup trial I didn't have a specific look in mind, just that I wanted to look natural, and she nailed it. For the rehearsal dinner, I wanted something a little more glam (but still natural) to go with a sparkly dress, and she nailed that look too. On the day of the wedding she arrived to the house early, and she and her team did an amazing job on my entire bridal party. Everyone looked beautiful. Our looks were all different but complimented one another well. Kirstie is extremely professional, a joy to be around, and she made me feel confident and beautiful on my wedding day. I highly recommend her services to anyone.

    Kirstie was an absolute gem to work with! She did my hair and makeup for my engagement photos, rehearsal dinner and my wedding day. She did such an incredible job each time and was amazing throughout the entire process. She made everything easy for me and was a blast to be around :) I would love to work with her again sometime!

    Kirstie did my wedding hair and makeup and I couldn’t have been happier. In daily life I tend to wear very little makeup so I was nervous about looking too “fake” on my wedding day. But as soon as I met Kirstie I knew instantly that she would do a great job. She took into account my natural coloring/skin tone and what type of look/theme we were going for in our wedding. She was also keenly aware of how things would look in pictures and made sure that everything would look great from afar and also for those close-up shots. And my hair was heavenly: natural but styled, it felt very “me” while also being special and unique. I can’t say enough amazing things about her.
    She was also just super fun, easygoing, and a blast to be around. I always thought I would be stressed beyond belief on my wedding day, but getting ready with Kirstie was a lot of fun. Don’t hesitate for hire her: you won’t regret it!

    Kirstie was a dream to work with! I first met Kirstie through a wedding inspiration shoot where she was doing the hair and makeup. I loved her style- natural and romantic, so I knew she would be a great fit for me. Kirstie did my wedding hair and makeup and it was soft, sophisticated and exactly what I wanted :) She was amazing during the consultation and very thorough. After our makeup trial we tweaked a few things and she made me feel very confident with my 'wedding look'. I was especially obsessed with my hair! She created a romantic curled/textured updo and I had her add in fresh flowers. Her patience and professionalism was noticed and appreciated by all! My bridesmaids all loved the experience of getting pampered by her team. Would highly recommend this sweet and very talented lady to any bride that loves a beautiful, natural and romantic look! Thanks Kirstie!! xoxo

    I could not have picked a better make up/hair artist for my wedding day. Kirstie is wonderful and you would be silly to pass her up.

    She is attentive, fun, professional, timely, and best of all friendly. She arrived right on time, allotted herself enough time to work on me and my maid of honor and work slowly and not rushed. She even participated in a morning mimosa toast! (heavy on the OJ).

    Not only did she provide a wonderful service, she even allowed me to consult with her when I was picking hair pins to wear in my hair.

    Kirstie did an amazing job for my wedding day makeup and hair. Looking at her portfolio I thought she would have the exact sort of style I wanted-- and I was right! My makeup was great for photographs and looked lovely but not overdone. She also did hair and makeup for my mother and new mother in law, and they looked and felt spectacular. I also had Kirstie do my hair and makeup before my engagement photos, as my pre-wedding trial. So glad I did as it allowed me to see exactly how I might want it done the morning of my wedding.

    Kirstie is super talented, sweet, and easy to work with. I highly recommend her!

    The makeup artist I had originally contracted cancelled on me about a week before the wedding but told me she was going to send Kirstie in her place. I wasn't too phased by the cancellation but decided I would spend the day researching other makeup artists on my own.

    By the end of the day however, just 7 days before our destination wedding, I hadn't really found anyone else when my phone rang. It was Kirstie and she was so upbeat, professional and aware (even of the fact that I was in a completely different timezone), that I decided she was actually a perfect fit to do my hair and makeup along with 2 of my bridesmaids makeup.

    The day of the wedding she was professional, efficient, present and did lovely work. She is down-to-earth with a good sense of humor, straight forward attitude and she made me feel super comfortable.

    Even though Kirstie and I were brought together by default I would choose and recommend her over and over again. She's good people.

    Kirstie is amazing. She is talented, sweet, genuine and professional. I absolutely fell in love with both her and her work.

    I got to work with her for my wedding hair and makeup, my bridesmaids hair and makeup and separately for makeup and hair for a boudoir shoot.

    She was able to really match my makeup to me, my personality/preferences and the event. Also, for both the boudoir shoot and the wedding, Kirstie made my hair absolutely perfect and lasting!

    I was completely thrilled by all of her work both on me and my wedding party.

    Also important, Kirstie has a very calming and solid presence, which is super important for such big events.

    Kirstie is GREAT! Not only does she have an expert eye for make-up artistry, but she's a neat person as well. She had no problem traveling to meet me where ever I needed and carries a calming vibe with her (something that was very helpful for me in particular). She uses high quality products and actually listens when you share your vision; then performs that vision flawlessly.
