    Phenomenal Choice 💕❤️

    Working with Khara was one of the best decisions I made for my wedding day. From the trial to the day-of, she made the entire experience seamless and enjoyable. She perfected my bridal look exactly how I envisioned it—natural, glowing, and timeless. My bridesmaids were thrilled with their hair and makeup too; everyone looked cohesive yet uniquely themselves. She arrived early, kept us on schedule, and brought such a calming presence to the room. I’m so grateful for her artistry and professionalism. Truly phenomenal!

    Beautiful Hair and Makeup!

    I can’t say enough great things about The Pretty Collective! They made our whole bridal party look absolutely beautiful and were such a joy to have with us on the wedding morning. Everyone looked and felt amazing, and we had so much fun chatting and laughing as we got ready. Their professionalism, friendliness, and talent made the day start off perfectly. Highly recommend to any bride looking for an incredible hair and makeup team!

    A pleasure to work with!

    I was so incredibly fortunate to find Khara on the preferred vendors list for our wedding venue. I could tell right away from her photos that she was incredibly talented in hair and makeup. I quickly scheduled a trial and immediately felt at ease. Khara is not only extremly skilled, but you quickly feel like you're talking to a close friend while in the chair. After the trial I knew I had found my main lady for the big day! Not only did I need services for myself, but I also needed hair and makeup for 9 bridesmaids, 4 moms/grandma, and a flower girl! Khara and her team exceeded all expectations on our wedding day! My makeup was flawless, AND not overly done which was a concern of mine and my husband's. My hair was in an updo and stayed in place THE ENTIRE WEDDING. I had multiple bridesmaids tell me that they absolutely loved their services. One bridesmaid said that she liked her hair and makeup better than what she had done on her own wedding day! It wasn't easy planning a wedding from 2 hours away, but I am so beyond grateful to have chosen Khara. I highly recommend her and her team for all of your beauty needs. There is no one else I'd rather have glam me up on such a monumental day, Khara, I can't thank you enough. ❤️

    Amazing Hair and Makeup Experience!

    I'm so glad I went with The Pretty Collective for my wedding hair and makeup! Khara and Kayla did an amazing job on everyone. I don't normally wear much makeup, so I didn't want it to be too overpowering. I was really happy with how natural my makeup looked - it made me feel like the best version of myself. My hair looked beautiful and held up really well, even after being rained on and dancing. The bridesmaids and mothers also looked fantastic, and everyone was super happy with their hair and makeup. On top of being talented artists, Khara and Kayla are both lovely people. Their fun, positive, and calming energy really helped ease my wedding day jitters. I can’t recommend them enough!!

    If I could give more than 5 stars, I totally would!! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

    I first met Khara and Alex at my sister’s wedding, and we all fell in love with their talent and ✨immaculate vibes✨. So when it was my turn to get married, there was no question - I had to have them on our wedding team!

    From day one, Khara answered all of my questions with grace and even de-escalated a few of my ✨bridal spirals✨ when I needed some clarity during wedding planning. She was more than willing to help with more than just hair and makeup leading up to our big day!

    Not only did they go above and beyond traveling to our venue, but they handled everything like the pros that they are when life threw a curveball and I came down with a wedding week stomach bug (classic, right?) They helped adjust the timeline with grace, rolled with the changes, and still managed to make 11 of my favorite women and I look and feel absolutely stunning - all in just five hours!

    With their talent, it's no surprise that I looked in the mirror and saw a stunning bride staring back at me; but more importantly I saw myself. I can't even put into words how emotional I felt seeing myself with my natural features accentuated in the most beautiful way. I still get teary eyed when I see pics 🥹

    They thoughtfully listened to everyone’s preferences. No matter what the individual's comfort level with makeup, Khara made sure every person felt comfortable, confident, and still like themselves. We also had quite a wide range of hair types and lengths - curly, straight, fine, thick, short, long - and Alex handled each one with ease. Everyone felt like a million bucks, and no one looked or felt overdone. Hair and makeup held up through sweat, dancing, and many MANY happy tears.

    If you're looking for someone who brings top-tier glam with chill, good vibes, look no further. The Pretty Collective aren't just hair and makeup artists - they’re a wedding dream team must-have✨

    Thank you for making us feel beautiful, special, and like our best selves!

    Best makeup ever

    Khara did the most AMAZING makeup for me as the bride, my 5 bridesmaids, my mom and mother in law. She was such a calming presence throughout the entire morning and made us all feel so at ease. Everyone at the wedding commented on how natural and beautiful we all looked. I am still obsessed with how good we all looked in our BTS photos and CANNOT wait to see our professional photos. I would recommend Khara and The Pretty Collective to anyone looking for professional makeup with the added bonus of having the kindest person alive be in charge.

    Pretty & Perfect

    I hired Khara and co to do my wedding hair and makeup after I was impressed with her at my sister-in-laws wedding several years ago. As expected, everything was flawless. The team works efficiently and adhered to their estimated timeline. I had an array of bridesmaids, some who wear no makeup ever (me) and some who are very particular. Nonetheless, everyone was not only happy, but impressed with their hair and makeup. I'll never stop recommending this team. Thanks for making me feel like a queen and for helping make my day feel like a fairytale.

    Beautiful work!

    Khara and Kayla do amazing work! Everyone in the wedding party felt so gorgeous, and we all looked phenomenal! Also, all our hair and makeup lasted through the entire day.

    Amazing Service!

    Khara was wonderful to work with! During our trial she paid attention and really took the time to create a look that we both were comfortable with. She was able to enhance our makeup from normal everyday to something special without taking away what made us feel like us.
    When it came the day of the wedding Khara and her assistant Kayla were on time and were able to get 10 of us ready for the wedding! Every single one of our bridesmaids looked like themselves. Khara and Kayla were able to bring out the personality of each of us through hair and makeup. They had such a fun and calming presence the morning of our wedding. Honestly we could not recommend Khara enough!

    The GREATEST in the business!

    Khara is an absolute breath of fresh air. She is witty, calm, and so talented. She did such an incredible job on my own and my bridal party's hair/makeup. Everyone looked BREATHTAKING! On what is normally a very stressful day, her relaxed demeanor made everyone feel at ease. She is an expert at color palettes and kept all of our looks true to our personalities! I am so grateful for her and wish we could relive the day over again! Thank you, Khara!!!

    So Wonderful!

    One of the things I had the most trouble finding and deciding on when planning for my wedding was my makeup and hairstylist for the day, and I am SO glad I found Khara on Wedding Wire! Working with her was such a wonderful experience; not only does she do beautiful hair and makeup, but she is also so kind, gentle, and genuine. She made me feel beautiful throughout the whole process, not just when my makeup and hair was done! My family, bridesmaids, and I all thoroughly enjoyed working with both her and her sister. I've attached pictures from both my hair/makeup trial, as well as the day of my wedding! Thank you Khara for helping to make my big day so special! :-)

    Brought the dream to life!

    Khara did the most incredible work for me and my bridesmaids on the day of our wedding. Her makeup technique was so flawless, and not only did she accentuate each girl's individual beauty, but she helped make sure the looks were coordinated and would work with the lighting. I've quite literally never felt so beautiful in my life with my Charlotte Tilbury-style makeup and glowy complexion. She brought my ideal hairstyle to life. That's just the artistic side of things. Throughout the process, she was incredibly communicative, professional, and really timely. Because I lived out of state and wasn't able to make it for a trial, we discussed in depth about the kind of look I wanted on the day of. If you were to find yourself in the same position, just trust her! She really is a pro. I'd recommend Khara over and over again.

    The best experience!

    Our wedding was October 9th, 2022 and we planned since our engagement in the fall of 2020. It was a long planning process and I couldn’t be happier with all my vendors. Khara did my makeup, my bridesmaids’, and my mom’s for our wedding day. 8 of us total with a tighter timeline to be ready for pictures, and she even did some makeup on my little sister free of charge just because. She felt really special. Khara knocked it out of the park and without an assistant! We were all done early and could relax- but she didn’t rush and everyone looked and felt absolutely beautiful. Not only that, but the makeup held up all day and night. I quite literally sobbed multiple times (was missing my dad on my wedding day, my brothers walked me down the aisle, and all the other wedding day emotions too… like when my husband bawled like a baby seeing me for the first time haha) and you couldn’t even tell I cried! I must say… I was a picky, perfectionistic bride especially with makeup, and I was anxious because this was my first time having it done professionally and for something so important. Khara understood that and comforted my every worry through the trial and on the wedding day. She also did my makeup again for my rehearsal dinner on a day when she was crunched for time and it looked awesome. She adjusted things when needed, was so reassuring, and answered every question I ever had. She kept in touch, was always on time, and helped in any way she could. She also had such a cool, calm, collected attitude and that presence on the morning of the wedding was so nice. It was amazing! Khara has a “enhance your natural beauty” approach which I feel is hard to find these days. I can’t even tell you how many compliments I got on how beautiful I looked and the PICTURES!… they are stunning and the makeup was perfect for that. I felt the most gorgeous ever and I’m so thankful to have had Khara be a part of our day. Book her and you won’t regret it! I’ll be back for any special occasion ever! Thank you Khara! The gift of feeling perfect on your wedding day is priceless and I’m forever grateful!

    Truly Perfection!

    Khara and her team did an amazing job with our bridal party glam for my wedding day! She was super communicative, professional, and was flexible with my schedule (being that I'm not local) to get a time that worked for my hair trial. We all felt so beautiful for the day, and my hair and makeup lasted all day and night long in the spring heat and humidity. Would recommend her to anyone looking for hair or make up and I would happily book her again!

    Everything was perfect!

    Khara was wonderful! She did such an amazing job! Everyone's makeup was perfect and accentuated everyone's features so well! She has such an acute awareness of how to work with each person as an individual with different features and different skin needs, and her attention to detail is superb. She is so great to work with and so friendly, professional, patient, and kind. I would recommend her over and over!

    Perfect Wedding Hair/Make Up!

    I used Beauty by Khara for my wedding hair and make up and am so happy I did! At my trial, Khara listened to what I wanted, explained things I wasn't familiar with, and made me look beautiful. She was super laid back and sweet, and very understanding of any changes I wanted to make along the way. I wanted to tweak parts of my hair the day of my wedding and she made my vision come to life! Her and her sister were fantastic to work with and myself and all my bridesmaids were happy with our looks!

    So happy we chose Khara

    Khara isn't just an amazing artist, she's a good person. I had been looking for months trying to find makeup and hair for our wedding and when I spoke with Khara on the phone I knew she was the best fit. I think all brides have to feel a little bit of stress planning their wedding and Khara made me feel so comfortable from the moment of our first phone conversation. Our trial was so fun - I'd recommend bringing someone in your party and bringing snacks and wine! The day of the wedding, I of course wanted something a little different for my hair because I wanted more of it down in the front since I have long hair. She figured out exactly what to do on the day of the wedding and it was absolutely beautiful. My makeup and hair stayed amazing throughout the day and night so much that even guests didn't notice my husband and I jumped in a pool during our send off.

    highly recommend!

    I truly cannot say enough good things about Khara- look no further than her for your wedding day beauty needs! Finding someone to do my hair and makeup for my wedding was something I was pretty worried about, but Khara made me feel so comfortable and like I was in such good hands. I don’t typically wear much makeup, so was concerned I wouldn’t look like myself on my wedding day, and I have fine straight hair that doesn’t really do much, but Khara succeeded in making my vision for how I would look become reality. She truly made me feel more beautiful than I ever thought possible, all while still looking completely like myself. I have never felt so confident and I seriously owe that to Khara’s expertise. She is also the sweetest person and was such a calming and positive presence the morning of our wedding. All of my bridesmaids loved having her there. She handled doing hair and makeup for me and my sister and hair for my other three bridesmaids and finished early and everyone looked and felt beautiful! I would choose her again in a heartbeat!

    Highly recommend!!!

    Khara was absolutely amazing not only on the day of my wedding, but leading up to my big day as well. After not feeling 100% confident with my first trial, Khara made time for me to come back for a second trial. After continuing to try updo styles which I had always envisioned, and not finding what I liked best, Khara helped me find a completely different style that I absolutely loved. Even though I was very stressed trying to find the perfect look that best suited me, Khara helped me to stay calm and was very reassuring and professional throughout the entire process. On the day of the wedding, Khara and her sister absolutely killed it! I went in to my day completely relaxed and stress free and totally relied on Khara to do her thing. Khara made me feel so comfortable and helped me look and feel like the best version of myself! There were 10 of us total who got both hair and makeup and they made sure to get everyone done in time and listened to exactly what everyone wanted. We all couldn't be happier and can't recommend Khara enough!! Thank you Khara and Brittany!!

    Book Her For Your Wedding...You Won't Regret It!

    Khara did hair and makeup for our November 2020 wedding. She worked with me, my mom, and my bridal party. Everyone was raving about the excellent job she did and we all felt like the most beautiful versions of ourselves with Khara’s help. When looking for our vendors, it was important for us to select vendors that we really liked as a person, as we would be spending a significant amount of time with them on our wedding day. Khara could not have been more fun to have around that morning. If you are looking for a super talented and overall lovely person to do your hair and makeup, look no further!

    Years of experience, so insanely talented, and the sweetest person ever!

    Finding a hair and makeup vendor was probably one of the most tricky vendors for me to find - simply because it is such a personal experience and really can make or break the day depending if you feel sexy, happy, and beautiful in your skin! I just need to say that Khara GETS that and she is so empathic to your needs and wants to make sure you are 110% comfortable with her and that your girls are comfortable. She will use her superhuman makeup powers to bring out your natural beauty and make you feel like you are the queen of the freakin' universe!

    Two days before my wedding day, I made the horrific mistake of getting my eyebrows waxed and not thinking anything of it because I had done it a million times - however, this particular time something went wrong and the skin right in the center of my brows -- literally the middle of my face -- was burned off. I looked like Harry Potter and to make myself not cry I went around joking that I was Harriet Potter. I was terrified Khara wasn't going to be able to cover it but she worked her magic and I have photographic evidence below that you could not even tell I had a huge oozing scab on my face during the wedding. That situation alone literally makes me owe my life to this dear woman... She's incredible.

    In addition to this, she's very reasonably priced, very communicative, and very organized. Before the wedding, I really enjoyed chatting with her and hearing her recommendations based on the vision I had for my look. My girls loved her sister as well who came along to help get everyone ready for the day. Khara and her sister Brittany both have years of experience and they really know the best products to use for different skin and hair types!

    I highly recommend Khara to every bride and her bridal party -- you will love her just as much as we did!

    Khara rocks!

    I can't recommend Khara enough. Not only is she just a pleasant and fun person to work with, she's super talented and she knows her stuff. For my trial, I went in with a vague idea of what I wanted and she just truly brought it to life. She did hair & makeup for me, my 3 girls and just makeup for both of the mothers - everyone was so pleased! Even the moms who were a little worried about having their makeup done were so happy with how it turned out. With Khara, I didn't have to worry about anything. She even accepts Venmo, which made payment so easy. Hire Khara - you won't regret it :)

    Don't Wait - Khara is your girl!!!!!

    Khara exceeded my already sky high expectations!! All of my bridesmaids & my Mum sparkled the entire day with their custom looks for my wedding & my 9-yr old niece was in looooove with her mermaid braid - it even stayed put all night!! She made my features shine; my skin felt and looked great - she was sure to create a look that complemented my dress, hair style, and my personality. THANK YOU, KHARA!!!

    She is the best in every way possible!

    I used Khara for makeup on my wedding day in November, 2019. She was wonderful from start to finish! She did my entire bridal party and also my mom and mother in law. She was patient and really listened in our meetings before the big day and you could tell she heard me. My makeup was literally perfect and lasted for hours. It was everything I wanted and more. I can't thank her enough for making me feel beautiful on my special day. If you want the best, then book Khara. You will not be dissapointed!

    Beautiful hair, beautiful makeup, beautiful person!

    If you are looking for someone to do your hair and makeup for your wedding or any special event... look no further than Beauty by Khara!! I shared with Khara my vision for what I wanted to look like on my wedding day and she made that dream a reality. I have never felt more beautiful in my life! From the moment I contacted Khara I knew she was the one I wanted to be a part of my special day. From the beginning she was very responsive and eager to answer any and all of my questions. Khara was easy to schedule a trial with and we had a blast playing with different hair and makeup ideas for my big day. Khara is just an all-around beautiful person who genuinely enjoys what she does and it shows. On wedding day her and her assistant Brittney were on time and excited to get started doing hair and make up for me, my girls and the moms. I can honestly say each and every one of them looked radiant, thanks to Khara and Brittney. Also, both Khara and Brittney brought such fun and positive vibes to the morning, which made the “getting ready” time that much more memorable. I would highly recommend Beauty by Khara for any and all makeup and hair!!!! Don’t hesitate! Book Khara now for your big day! I can only imagine her calendar fills up fast!

    Highly Recommend

    I used Khara for hair & makeup for our wedding. Khara and her sister were amazing to work with! We had 7 people getting hair & makeup done and everyone loved the way they looked! Khara was so professional and helpful throughout the process. I am pretty basic and don’t wear much makeup regularly and Khara created a look for me that was natural and elegant. On the day of they were prompt and efficient with their time. If I had to do it all over again I would definitely book Khara.

    You NEED to hire Beauty by Khara!

    WOW! We were completely blown away by how great Khara and her team is. I am someone who is hesitant to get their makeup done for the fact that I don’t typically wear a ton of makeup and I don’t want to look like someone I’m not. Let me tell you, Khara is the BEST at emphasizing your natural features and believes in “less is more” when it comes to wedding makeup. She made me and my bridesmaids look absolutely beautiful and my bridesmaids kept asking me where I found someone as great as Beauty by Khara. After the wedding, my now husband (who has never complimented my makeup before or even typically notices that kind of stuff) said that my makeup and hair looked awesome and he was so happy that I still looked like myself. It was so nice to get ready at the venue with Khara and she is such a relaxing presence on the most nerve wracking day of your life. I would 100% recommend Beauty by Khara to anyone looking for a makeup and hair artist on the most important day of your life!!

    Beautiful inside and out

    Khara is wonderful. Not only is she an amazingly talented hair and makeup artist, she was the calming presence I needed while we were getting ready for the wedding. She took care of everyone's beauty needs throughout the morning, and navigated two different getting ready venues without batting an eye. Khara was amazingly responsive, flexible, and made sure all of us were comfortable throughout the getting ready process. She even tolerated my random PowerPoint breakdowns of hair and makeup ideas when things got crazy and my calendar couldn't fit in a consultation with Khara pre-wedding.
    But there's one thing that really stands out to me above how Khara made me look and feel - and that's how she made my Mom look and feel.
    My mother was not originally scheduled to get makeup done, but about halfway into putting on her own makeup, I found her staring into the mirror in the bathroom, flustered and frustrated. Khara made last minute adjustments and got my Mom into the makeup chair. She made her feel confident and beautiful, and boosted her up when she really needed a lift. Khara, my mom is one of the most important people in my life, and I can't thank you enough for making her feel beautiful.
    On a scale of 1 to 10, Khara is an 11. Thank you, thank you, thank you Khara! I can't wait to share pictures!

    Khara is incredible! She’s so talented, and does amazing work!! All of my bridesmaids were in love with their hair and/or make up. No one was upset about anything and no one felt like they could have done it better themselves! Her prices are super reasonable and she was super flexible’

    Five stars

    Choosing Khara for my wedding day hair and makeup was one of the best decisions that I made during the wedding planning process! Choosing the right person for my wedding day look was very important to me, as I had a specific style in mind and wanted to look very natural. Throughout the trial and planning process, Khara worked with me to choose a style that would work best for my hair and absolutely nailed both my hair and makeup on my wedding day! I felt like the absolute best version of myself and have never felt more beautiful. Khara and her assistant Mariah also got my 7 bridesmaids and MOB/MOG all looking absolutely gorgeous! Thank you so much, Khara! You are the best!

    Highly recommend

    I was married in Lancaster, PA which is approximately 3 hours from where I live. It is for this reason that I was initially worried about who I would find to do my hair for my wedding- when you are traveling from a distance, you really have to be able to TRUST the people that you work with. And once I met Khara, I knew I had found just that person. Khara is that super-talented-and- professional yet friendly-and-accommodating artist that everyone hopes to have when they need to look their best. I felt completely at ease with Khara and am still in awe of her ability to look at a picture of a style and then bring that to life. Absolutely perfect!

    Amazing Hair and Makeup!

    I cannot say enough good things about Khara!! She was extremely responsive and organized as soon as I filled out a request form, and I had a LOT of questions, being someone who does not usually get my hair and makeup done. At my hair trial, she was so warm and spent some time getting to know me. Then she put my hair in exactly the style I wanted it in minutes! On the wedding day, my friends and I had so much fun getting ready with her and her assistant, Brittany. They felt like our friends at that point. Everyone thought their hair and makeup looked so beautiful because they did such an amazing job!! I was SO happy with my final look for my wedding; my makeup and hair were flawless and lasted all night- I got so many compliments. I would love to hire Khara again and hope to have the chance!!

    Amazing Experience and Service

    Khara and her sister did such great job on my hair and make-up as well as my bridesmaids and mother on the morning of the wedding. That worked effectively and efficiently within our timeline and were very kind and flexible throughout the morning. Would highly recommend their services!

    Absolutely incredible!

    Choosing Khara for wedding day hair and makeup was hands down one of the best decisions I have ever made. I cannot say enough about her skill. She is an expert at her craft and is able to enhance features and draw out beauty in ways I never dreamed possible, all while maintaining a seamless, natural, and light look. Most of the bridal party (myself included) are in our 30s and have been in many weddings, and we unanimously agreed that Khara created the most stunning looks of any wedding we've been in. But what is more is that Khara is an incredible human. She is kind and gentle and fun and exudes this calming energy that I so needed when my nerves crept up on me. I met Khara twice, once for our trial and again on my wedding day, but felt as though I had known her for years. I encourage anyone looking for bridal hair and makeup services to hire Khara. You will be a beautiful bride because of her expertise and a better person for encountering her spirit!

    Khara is a legit magician!!!!

    Khara is a legit magician!!!! She transformed my very average face/hair into an amazing beauty for my wedding day. I have never been one to stare at myself in the mirror for more than .1 seconds, I don't know how to do any makeup besides basic powder foundation and mascara, but after seeing what she can do, I am determined to learn how to do makeup!!!! I literally have never looked or felt more beautiful in MY LIFE, which is really how it should be on your wedding day!! When you're sitting in her chair, and she's airbrushing your makeup on, and then adding little subtle clusters of fake eyelashes (not a whole heavy sheet of them like you see that looks so fake), it feels like she is doing so much! But then you look in the mirror and you still look like YOU, just an amazingly better you!!! My makeup was ON POINT, and the sealant she sprays at the end held up for 8+ hours. I had my makeup start at 11am, she was done around 11:34. Then hair until maybe just after 12pm? And the ceremony wasn't until 3pm ( we wanted lots of photos before the ceremony) and the whole event ended at 10pm, and my makeup still looked impeccable, despite the crying I did during the ceremony. My hair, which I had done in a curly, messy bun off the side with a few curls dangling down, held up through all my crazy dancing! The bun definitely started to fall a bit lower down, but it held its shape and looked even better! The amount of pins I pulled out of my hair later that night was astonishing for how comfortable and perfect the hair-do was. I am so truly grateful to Khara for the work she did on me. I have always felt pretty average on the side of decent looking, but Khara transformed me into a princess. I am so tempted to learn her secret ways now, after seeing how they can make me look. Her prices were EXTREMELY reasonable (I told her she needs to charge more), and tipped her extra on the day of after seeing the magic she had worked on me. The whole wedding day I didn't feel self conscious at all, which was an amazing feeling. Thank you, Khara, so much for everything you did for me!!!!

    I cannot picture anyone else doing my makeup for my special day. I had trouble finding a makeup artist for my wedding because it was being held in a town I do not even live in, so I searched for a while. I stumbled across her work online and fell in love. I contacted her and she told me she had availability for my wedding day, and was able to schedule my makeup trial soon after our phone conversation. This was great because I had a little over a month left until the wedding and I felt like time was running short. Khara was flexible with scheduling, travels to you, and is friendly and very easy to get along with. I also thought she was pretty funny, which made everything so much more fun! Most importantly, she KNOWS HER MAKEUP. I told her I had issues with finding foundation to match my skin tone in the past, and she spoke about things like oxidation once makeup reacts with your face's natural chemistry, showing that she's an expert in this field. Her knowledge about this put me at ease and reassured me that I wouldn't go from a beautiful bronzed queen to "what the?" once a few minutes passed by, which had happened to me in the past when getting makeup matched at beauty stores. My make up was so pretty and sparkly like I wanted, and it lasted all night on my naturally oily skin. She created a custom, berry-colored tint for my lips which I LOVED! My mom also loved the makeup Khara did for her, which says a lot because my mom can be picky! Makeup: 10/10.

    Also, Khara took on the challenge of doing my hair on my wedding day. I am of Central American descent so I have very thick and heavy hair all the way down to my hips. Khara managed to put all my hair into a low bun with side-swept bangs. The bun was so pretty, and even survived a cake fight with my husband after the cake-cutting. She took her time putting all my hair into that beautiful bun and she had so much patience working with my layered hair. I would definitely hire her again!

    Let me just tell you how much fun Khara is!!! Talking to her and meeting her the first time, I felt like I knew her forever! I changed the style of my hair after our trial and she was awesome about it! she was able to try it the day of and it was beautiful! Her and her sister provided hair and makeup the day of at our house and it was a blast, loved her!

    Khara is amazing at what she does. She made myself and my bridesmaids feel amazing and so comfortable. She is so down to earth and is willing to change anything you don't like (although she didn't have too because I loved my hair and make up). I highly recommend Khara!

    Khara was wonderful in every way! She's a true professional who has not only studied her material, but has a ton of experience and it showed. She KNOWS HER STUFF!! We met once to do a trial makeup and hair run. She was patient, listened to me, and adjusted her touch accordingly. She made sure I was happy with the final outcome and took notes on everything to save time on the wedding day. Between our meeting and the wedding day, I decided to change a few things and she was always responsive, kind, and professional in communicating about the changes.
    On the wedding day, she arrived early (every bride's dream!) and was just as kind and calm as the first day when we met. I appreciated her calmness, kindness, and professionalism. We decided to make a last minute change to my hairstyle and once again, she listened to me and my feedback and she NAILED IT! She helped make my day special, relaxing, and BEAUTIFUL!!!! I highly recommend working with Khara-I can't recommend her enough!!

    We had a wonderful experience working with makeup artist Khara Williams from 'Beauty by Khara'! From the first email to the makeup trial session to my wedding day, Khara was kind, accommodating, and professional. Her prices were by far superior to many other MUA in the area, and she delivered such a beautiful, natural finished look. One of my favorite things about Khara was her honest opinion and expertise -- she helped me achieve the wedding look I wanted, while offering helpful advice and explanations about why she thought certain styles/products would work better for me than others. My mom and I loved working with Khara, and would highly recommend her to other brides looking for an awesome, affordable MUA!

    I don't think I can say enough about Khara. She was fabulous from start to finish. I planned my wedding from three hours away, and picking vendors without being able to meet in person was a little nerve wracking. Khara assuaged my fears from the very first email. She was kind, patient, and very thorough - all of which are extremely important qualities to a bride-to-be! When it came to hair and makeup, I couldn't have asked for more. She wouldn't have let me walk down the aisle until I was completely satisfied (even though I was at the first pass!). She is extremely knowledgeable and skilled, and I would recommend her to anyone.

    Khara and her sister were superstars! They are both the most patient calming people and their hair and makeup expertise is outstanding. I cannot imagine my wedding without them. They stayed past our originally contracted timeline to work on women in my party who originally declined the offer for hair/makeup, saw Khara and Brittany's work, and immediately changed their minds. In the end, all 9 of us were done on time and looked flawless. Between the outstanding results and atmosphere they bring to the hours before the wedding, they are INVALUABLE.

    I truly cannot say enough positive words about the person Khara is, along with the amount of talent she possesses! I booked Khara for my bridal hair along with 11 other girls’ hair for my wedding. One of the most amazing things about Khara is that she ACTUALLY listens when you talk to her! She came to my home for the trial and I absolutely loved my updo, but wanted to tweak a few things. I sent her pictures and she made the exact adjustments I needed. My updo was all I could have dreamed of and more—and it actually stayed in all night! I have very long, thick hair, so it is difficult to find a hairstyle that will last throughout an entire evening…let alone a night as busy as your wedding night! Aside from the genius she is when it comes hair (I know she also does make up, but I had already booked a different vendor for that) she is one of the kindest souls I have ever met! Her calm demeanor and laid back energy is exactly what a nervous bride needs the morning of her wedding! She continually asked me, “Is there anything I can do for you? What do you need? You look beautiful, don’t worry everything is going to work out!” Also, my mother in law was very ill the night before my wedding, and was unhappy with her make up- Khara helped touch up her make up until she felt comfortable enough! Khara is extremely knowledgable, experienced, and a wonderful stylist to work with for the most important day of your life. I do plan on contacting her for future life events!! Look no further…book Khara!!

    I loved working with Khara! She was so easy to talk to - like an old friend! She answered all my questions and eased all my concerns, and was very accommodating throughout. As someone who is typically insecure, she did both my hair and makeup and made me feel the most confident I've ever been(a nice little boost for my wedding day!)! Khara listened to all my style choices/concerns, and listened when I wanted something changed - she was very open to redoing any hair or makeup until I found the exact look I wanted. In addition to myself, on the wedding day, Khara and her assistant took on the challenge of my girls, moms, and aunts with ease. Additionally, I appreciate that of any stylist I reached out to, she was not only the most responsive, but the friendliest. A true pro.............highly recommend!!!

    Khara is absolutely one of the most beautiful and kind people I have ever met, as well as an incredibly talented make-up artist. It was a privilege to have her do the make-up for my bridal party and mothers on my wedding, which was Oct 29, 2017. Khara also did a beautiful trial for me in May 2017 prior to my engagement pictures. She really took the time to listen to what type of look I was going for and was open to all suggestions. She does BEAUTIFUL work and is extremely knowledgeable and professional. She and her sister/assistant make-up artist, Brittany, finished the make-up for all five of my bridesmaids, me, and two mothers in less than four hours. She is fun, creative, gorgeous, and has been a pleasure to work with. I love that she comes on-site to do the make-up and she brings quite a set-up of professional items, including a fancy chair and lighting. My girls LOVED her as well, were very happy with their make-up looks, and many wedding guests commented to me how gorgeous my bridal party was! I’m already trying to come up with a reason to get my make-up done by her again! I can’t say enough great things about this lovely woman and her fantastic business!

    Khara was amazing to work with! She was professional, friendly and always got back to me quickly. My bridesmaids and I absolutely loved our hair and make-up on my wedding day and it looked perfect all day and night long. I completely trusted Khara to help me decide what was going to work best, and I couldn’t be happier with the work that Khara and her sister produced. I highly recommend Khara to anyone who wants to look and feel beautiful on her wedding day!

    Khara and Brittany did an amazing on my entire bridal parties hair and makeup. Both ladies were an absolute JOY to work with! Khara is super responsive and really helps to take the stress away. Her easy confidence made me feel beautiful even more so than the makeup. I would definitely recommend if you want someone who is professional but who also cares about you and what you want

    Khara was wonderful to work with! Not only was she extremely professional - but she was FUN while being professional. Her knowledge is beyond belief! She is still (4 months later!) answering any and all beauty questions and has seriously made my interest in makeup the strongest it's been in my 59 years of life! I cannot stress enough how beautiful she made me feel on my wedding day. She did an awesome job for my preview, came to the hotel where I was staying (since I live 4 hours from my wedding venue and her location) and took all the time I needed, was willing to try look after look after look - but she nailed it on the first try. If you use Khara for your wedding - you will not be disappointed!

    Khara and her sister who assisted her were both kind, knowledgeable and attentive when it came to doing the girls' hair and makeup for our wedding. They showed up early, ready to rock and roll. All of the girls were very satisfied with the way their hair and makeup turned out. Khara comes fully stocked, with a vast collection of mid to high-end products with hundreds of clean brushes and falsie lashes ready to go. Khara talks with you like an old friend while she is beautifying you, which makes the experience all the more enjoyable. She encourages feedback from you because she really is there to make you feel and look your best for your big day, which was very comforting to me. Special mention that she traveled about 4 hours round trip to meet me in my home for my trial, and that really stands out to me, as it shows she seriously values her clients and will go above and beyond for you. If you are looking for someone who knows their stuff and has the experience to show for it, look no further.

    AMAZING!!! This was the one service I really wanted to make sure was perfect - since the day is sooo long and the photos last forever! From the first phone call to her coming to my house for a trial run, Khara was utter perfection! I showed her photos and shared ideas of how looks I loved. She explained makeup ( felt like I got a lesson for free) and went step by step. Come wedding day, her and her staff were so professional and right on time. During my makeup she gave me a little pep talk for the day! Let me tell you!! We got makeup done at 10-11am ish and I danced and sweated on the dance floor at the reception til 12:30am.. not one spot of makeup rubbed off or looked messy. it stayed perfect the entire day. Give this lady a call today and book her!!

    So talented, so relaxed. Khara was a pleasure to work with the moment I had contacted her about doing makeup/hair on my big day. She made payments work with me, she worked with my friends who had changed their minds on what they wanted, and she picked the absolute best looks for every single one of my friends. I had never felt more beautiful than on my wedding day and what bride doesn't want that?

    Thank you so much to Khara and her team! From the hair/makeup trial to day of prep, everything was amazing! Khara is very talented, I received so many compliments on my hair and makeup. She was on top of everything and really helped soothe my wedding jitters. My hair and makeup lasted all night and held up through lots of dancing! Thanks Khara!

    I cannot say enough good things about Khara -- she is the ultimate professional, she is incredibly talented, and she also happens to be one of the easiest and nicest people to work with!! She did hair and makeup on me (the bride) in addition to my five bridesmaids and mother-in-law, and I can say with 100% confidence that everyone was extremely pleased and looked stunningly glamorous! I highly, highly recommend her services - she will exceed your expectations, of this I am certain.

    There aren’t enough words to describe Khara – she is just simply phenomenal!!! She has the loveliest personality, is sweet as candy, and treated me like a queen during my hair and makeup trial run and on my big day! It felt like I was working with a long lost friend, who just so happened to have unbelievable talent! She truly can work wonders, executing on every single vision I had for my big day, and then some! I had never felt so beautiful in my entire life, and tears welled in my eyes when I saw the outcome of her work on my wedding day! My makeup was absolutely flawless and my hair was just stunning – even better than the hair and makeup pictures I had showed to Khara to replicate for my wedding. Khara’s sister Brittany helped during the day as both ladies did makeup and hair for 8 ladies – yes, the full bridal party! Everyone looked like models that came right off the runway with natural and effortless beauty. Even my mom is still raving about how amazing Khara was and how beautiful even she felt on her daughter’s big day. Khara also was remarkably responsive, answering any question I had and providing tips and recommendations leading up to the big day. I would highly recommend Khara to any bride-to-be because she is truly a wonderful, caring person who provides exceptional service! Khara - I can’t thank you enough for making my dreams come true and making me feel like the most beautiful bride in the world on my special day. I will be forever grateful!!!

    Khara and Brittany were amazing! They did hair for my entire bridal party-- including many girls with long thick hair, extensions, and overall hard to manage-- and every single hairstyle was perfect. The makeup that Khara did was absolutely stunning, nothing was overdone and every girl looked like a model. As the bride, I was nervous about maintaining my hair and makeup as the night went on-- especially since it was so beautiful! However, my makeup was flawless for a full 12 hours. My hair fell a little, but that was only due to rain, and was an easy fix with the style that did hold from Khara! In addition to the unbelievable hair and makeup, Khara and Brittany were just a perfect addition to our morning. They were so personal, friendly, and fun, it felt like your best friend was getting you ready for your big day. I honestly can't rave enough!

    Every bridal party out there NEEDS to contact Khara. She is beyond talented in every way. From moment one until my wedding day, she worked with me to find my perfect look! Her knowledge of hair and makeup is outstanding and I completely trusted her with each step. Her and her sister on my wedding day arrived EARLY and made sure me and my ladies looked and felt great about their looks. I got compliments all day on my hair and makeup. She truly is the best!

    Khara made me feel so comfortable from the first time she set foot in my house to do my hair trial. She is incredibly kind and focused on helping to create a vision. She will work with you to find the perfect look for the style you want to create. She was on time and very flexible when I wanted to add her services for hair about two months before my wedding date. She is incredibly affordable especially compared to the great work that she does. I felt so beautiful and confident on my wedding day. She timed our hair and make up so that we were ready a little bit early and could relax before the photographers arrived. I would recommend her services to anyone looking for a patient, talented, professional, and affordable option to look your absolute best. Thank you Khara!!

    Khara was absolutely fantastic & my makeup was flawless. I would HIGHLY recommend her to anyone who would like to make sure their wedding day goes as smooth as possible. Hiring Khara allowed me to know that my makeup was taken care of for my girls and I, which was one less thing I had to worry about that day. I cannot say enough positive things about my experience.

    Khara was wonderful to work with from our first email to the big day! She tailored the look using my ideas and her expertise. She is very personable and knowledgeable. On our wedding day, Khara and her sister were able to do hair and make up for my large group without any hesitation, big smiles, and got us done with more than enough time! I would highly recommend Kara for your special day.

    BOOK WITH KHARA! You won't regret it. I had a great experience working with Khara for my wedding in June. She's an expert when it comes to hair and makeup. My makeup was flawless and she can replicate a hair picture very easily. I had trouble finding an updo that I liked and she was very patient as she worked with me to get just the right look. She's very easy going and will make sure you look amazing on your special day.

    My wedding was in May and I can't say enough how much I love the work that Khara did. Before the wedding, she traveled hours to complete my trial and I loved everything she did. She was a professional and worked really well with me, answering all of my questions quickly. She had a lot of people to do hair and makeup for day of and they all turned out fantastic! I got so many compliments and I can truly say that she made my special day better.

    Khara is funny, professional, and human. She did such a wonderful, caring job tending not only to my hair and make-up needs as the bride, but also treated my husband with such kindness while he agonized over how he wanted to look on the day of due to a new haircut. She laughed with us, explained everything with such grace and expertise, and helped us both feel confident and beautiful on the day of our wedding. We couldn't have hoped for a better experience!!

    Let me just start by saying Khara is absolutely AMAZING! She was more than willing to drive almost 2 hours to my house multiple times for my trials and engagement photo make up. I usually don't wear a lot of make up so I was a little hesitant on what I would look like. But she made me feel so comfortable and it looked so natural! On my wedding day, she arrived and finished early so I had no stress at all about my hair or make up being done on time. My mom, who has had the same hairstyle forever, LOVED her hair and makeup and would not stop raving about how amazing Khara is. She is willing to go out of her way to make sure you love your look! Look no further if you need a hair and make up artist. Khara is the way to go!

    I was an out of state Bride and working with Khara was the best! I was very hesitant about committing to such an important part of the wedding but after my first correspondence with Khara I was put at ease. She was available for whatever I needed and even offered to give any help/advice I might need since I was coming from out of town.

    She easily was able to accommodate a party of 9 and her fees were extremely reasonable for the work she did. I was beyond thrilled with my look and all the girls. Curls held on hair that normally can't hold a curl!

    I'd suggest booking her if you're looking for a stress free wedding day, she's got you covered!

    Khara is an amazing person and an amazing hair and makeup artist! She was so friendly and focused on what was best for me and my wedding day. When I had to choose not to do a trial due to losing my job and having to cut back in some areas, she made me feel so comfortable with the choice and made sure we had plenty of time the day of for changes if needed. She ended up doing both my hair and makeup perfectly the first time but it was nice to not have any pressure. Having her come to the wedding venue made the day even less stressful. Khara is so great at what she does because she knows what questions to ask and how to understand the type of personality you have. My husband even said she did a great job of making me look like my natural self with an appropriate level of wedding glam. I was obsessed with how well my hair and makeup looked for my wedding and how well it lasted throughout the night. The quality and personal touch provided matched with the reasonable price made Khara and easy choice and I would highly recommend Beauty by Khara to anyone!

    There are not enough kind words that I can say about Khara! I had the privilege of having her do my makeup and hair for my engagement pictures this past Wednesday. It was also a trial run for my fiance and I's wedding. Khara made our picture day even more special. She was professional, relaxed, knowledgeable and of course talented! She listened to me/my concerns and talked through them all. I cannot wait to have Khara be a part of our big day!

    I could not be more happy with my decision to choose Beauty by Khara for my wedding day! Both ladies did an amazing job with everyone's hair and makeup and they were very professional. Khara was very willing to work with whatever timeframe I needed and kept us on schedule. I would absolutely use Beauty by Khara again, highly recommended!

    Khara was awesome to work with! From the moment she arrived at my home for my makeup trial through the wedding day, she not only does a phenomenal job with makeup, she treats you like a friend. She comes with everything including a comfy chair and really worked to understand what I was hoping to achieve with my makeup and look for my big day. She made me, my mother and my wedding party look like special versions of own unique selves and that is exactly what I wanted. I wanted to still look like me and she achieved that and I felt beautiful for my wedding day. I could not recommend Khara more highly for her talent, reasonable rates and her genuine kindness.

    I Khara on Wedding Wire and called her immediately!! She answered the phone and we spoke for about an hour :). I explained to Khara that I had about 3 months before my wedding and I was desperate for a stylist for the day of. I had originally booked with a different stylist and found out 3 months before my wedding that she was going to cancel my booking with her and go with a larger party for more money. I was so fortunate to find Khara! I booked out date and set up a trail! I was so nervous about our upcoming trial because I had no idea what to expect. I had booked with Khara in a panic after finding out I didn't have anyone for the day of our wedding and hadn't even looked through her reviews! I was so thankful for all of her previous clients who had reviewed her because it gave me such peace knowing that so many people had such an incredible experience with her.
    The day for our trail came and she spent 6 hours (from 2-8pm) with me helping pick out a hair and make up style that I was comfortable with. I went back and forth between so many styles and each time she would redo the style for me so I could see it again. She was such a saint to keep changing my hair style back and forth and adding and removing make up until we found the style we were going to use that day. She kept in touch with me the entire time up until the wedding! She consoled me so much more than she probably knows.
    When our BIG DAY arrived she was right on time setting up and getting the girls hair and make up going. All I can recall from that morning was walking around in a daze, but she guided me through all of it. :) I honestly have no idea what it would have been like without her, and I don't even want to! She was absolutely fantastic!! Khara and her sister were able to get my hair and make up finished along with 6 other brides maids, my mom and my mother-in-law :)! I would say she is a NECESSITY! I wouldn't have done it any other way. I owe the stylist that dumped me a thank you...

    To say that Khara is amazing is an understatement. Not only did she help me figure out exactly what I wanted for my hair and makeup for my wedding, but she talked me through the entire thing and was willing to go above and beyond just to make sure I had exactly what I was looking for. I was nervous about having too much makeup on, but Khara made sure I felt like a more fabulous version of myself which was perfect. From prompt responses to my emails, and texts to check in on me, I never doubted for one second that Khara was the perfect gal for my wedding day. She also had to beautify me while all of the women in my family watched her (which is no small feat!) and everyone told me afterwards how much they loved her. She was so sweet and funny and kept everyone's nerves in check, all while doing a fantastic job! If you want an A+ experience on your wedding day, email Khara. You'll be SO glad you did!

    Khara was an absolute pleasure to work with. She was so friendly and down to earth. She made me feel at ease and helped calm my wedding nerves. My makeup and hair looked absolutely beautiful! I could not have asked for a better makeup and hair stylist!

    Khara was so incredibly knowledgeable and friendly, she made it a point to make sure my bridal party and I were as comfortable as possible with her! She was extremely patient and flexible and provided amazing results for both hair and makeup!

    I'm so happy that I found Khara! Besides being an awesome person in general, she is so talented and I could tell immediately that she loves what she does. She took the time to listen and understand my vision, and was willing to adjust my makeup during my trial until I absolutely loved it (which didn't take much, she's a pro). She did things with my eyelashes and brows that I didn't think were even possible. I also had her do makeup for my bridesmaids and Mom and they all looked amazing. If you want to look like the best version of yourself, on the best day of your life, book Khara! She made me look more beautiful than I ever could have imagined on my wedding day.

    I hired Khara to do makeup for my wedding on September 3rd, and she was phenomenal! I came across her here on weddingwire, as I was looking for someone to do on-location makeup. She was very easy to talk to and patient as she answered my questions. She made it very clear that once hired she would be more than just a vendor. She would be my advisor, friend, or whatever else I needed to help me get to my big day as smoothly as possible. Combined with her skill and professionalism she was beyond amazing. Before my wedding I had a trial session with her, which I suggest doing because it gives both you and her an idea of what you want to look like before the big day.
    On the day of my wedding she showed up early to set up, which allowed us to stay on schedule and get started on time. I had gotten traditional makeup for my bridesmaids, and she did a wonderful job. She got done with each girl in about 20 minutes give or take a few. I was taken aback by just how beautiful they all looked and not in a fake kind of way. She really accentuated their natural beauty. I went with airbrush makeup for myself, and loved the way I looked afterwords and just how well she adjusted the look I wanted to my specific face and eye shape. She made us all feel like a billion bucks!

    I absolutely loved working with Khara, she is GREAT! I did a trial with her before my wedding day so we could figure out what worked best for me. I found it so easy to communicate with her during that trial. Her unbelievable receptiveness towards how I wanted my makeup done was so, so great. We ended up finding the perfect look for my wedding day. When the wedding day came around, everything was perfect. I already knew I had nothing to worry about and could trust everything she was doing completely. I loved how I looked, and received many compliments. If I ever need a makeup artist and she is around, I will certainly be going back to her again.

    Other little tidbits: she was on time, all of the equipment used was most definitely clean, and she has a easygoing, wonderful demeanor. It was easy to talk to her throughout our time together. She's so great!! You want to book her!! :)

    If you want a hair and makeup artist that is like you're getting hair and makeup done by a friend then Khara is definitely for you! She is always on time, very professional, and has stunning ideas for makeup and hair. She will take your ideas and turn them into something that suits your face shape, occasion, and body frame. She's honestly the best!

    What can I say about Khara, other than she is AMAZING! She handled 10 girls day of and had us all done on schedule time without compromising anyone's make up. She was set up and ready to go at our agreed time. She had a smile on her face and was talkative, genuinely enjoying the conversation. She was such a humble person and it was a great experience. I definitely recommend her.

    Khara was such a wonderful and very accommodating traveling make-up artist for my best friends wedding. I contacted her through email and I always had a response in a reasonable amount of time. She was super sweet and really brought out everyone's natural beauty first and foremost. She did a fantastic job on our bride and us three bridesmaids. Our make-up lasted from 11 in the afternoon until 9-10 at night. I couldn't be more happy with the results that I already recommended her to my other friends getting married. She's is really reasonably priced for her quality of work. She will make you feel fully confident and beautiful to walk down that aisle on your special day. Couldn't thank her enough :)

    I hired Khara to do my July wedding. I had her do hair and airbrush makeup on myself and my four bridesmaids, hair and makeup for junior bridesmaid, flower girl and my mother and mother-in-law. She was so pleasant to work with. She was fun and very accommodating to my schedule. I was extra late for my trial run, which she was nice enough to have in her home since I did not live in the area, and it was no problem at all. She did the most beautiful make-up and did a variety of up do's and down hairstyles. She was priced very competitively for the area and provides onsite services. She was such a pleasure to work with and does beautiful work. I would recommend her to anyone. She made a hectic day a little easier.

    All I can I say is that Khara is absolutely wonderful, talented, professional and a pleasure to have her be a part of our wedding. I love Khara!! Who can say that about their make up artist? I DO! I DO!!! She helped me plan out my engagement pictures hair and make up and hair and make up for our wedding day. She was so sweet and helpful, affordable and she is so good!! We got married in at the end of August and she came to us to the venue so we could have fresh make up and perfect hair for the wedding. She helped me get dressed and she even helped steam my veil....YEP!! she did!! She is absolutely beautiful inside and out and a wonderful calming person to have around you on that crazy stressful day. I cannot emphasize enough how wonderful and talented she is.

    It is not possible to overemphasize how wonderful Khara is. I was nervous about contacting a makeup artist for my wedding, because I'd never had my makeup done and don't know much about makeup in general. As soon as I got the first email back from Khara, I felt much better. She is a bride's dream: talented, calm, friendly, organized, and generally amazing. She came to my home for my trial run, and spent a lot of time making sure that I liked the look she put together. On my wedding day, the makeup stayed lovely through an afternoon and evening of Tucson July heat and humidity. Khara didn't just make me look good, she made me feel beautiful, which is not an easy task because I have a lot of insecurities about my appearance. She is incredibly excellent, and anyone looking for a makeup artist in the Tucson area should look no farther than Khara Williams.

    Khara was utterly amazing! With fair pricesand service that exceeds any other I don't think I could have asked for anyone better. She made me feel and look so special and took very good care of me. I turned out beautiful. Other hair and make-up artists wouldn't have been able to do a job that could even compare to hers. She sat down and talked with me and got to know me and my now husband. I could really tell she cares about each and every one of her customers. If I didn't like something she would find another way to do it that I liked. I enjoyed her company and service and would most definately recommend her to anyone! Thank you so much!

    I've been putting off writing this review - not because I was dreading it, but because I felt like I should wait until I could give Khara the time and attention a review for her deserves. I'm a word person, and I wanted my review to be perfect...

    I never did find the time to write the perfect review. And I realized that it's probably more important to pass on to others what a superstar she is, and since others here have covered all the basics about how amazing she is, and her portfolio speaks for itself - I decided I could probably just add my voice to the crowd and keep it simple.

    Khara is like a beauty-wand - she's beautiful inside and out, and she sprinkles gorgeous around like pixie dust.

    She's everything you could want or ask for in a hair and makeup professional and equally talented at both (which is rare).

    If you select Khara Williams, you will not be disappointed - she makes sure of it (and you just wouldn't be anyway).

    Khara provided the most excellent services! I was crazy busy/lacking on funds before the wedding, but she was more than willing to be flexible with me and come up with ideas that fit into my life/budget. She was professional, on time, and very calm. And I simply cannot say enough about the make-up (I had the airbrush, which I have never done before). My skin has never looked so beautiful, it was glowing!!! I don't wear much make-up often, so I was a little nervous getting it done, but thank goodness I did. It was truly stunning and I looked just like myself. The hair was beautiful too, a lovely down-style, very similar to how I normally do it. Khara gave me everything I wanted and more. And the best part is that she comes to your location! Big thanks to her!

    All I have to say is that Khara made me feel absolutely beautiful on my wedding day!! I booked her services off of reading reviews, seeing her pictures, and chatting with her via email. I was a little nervous since I didn't have a trial done prior to booking, but that all quickly went out the window when we did meet (few days before the wedding, we did a trial since I came in from out of town). I loved that she was so quick to respond to every email/question and she was an absolute professional from the very beginning. Day of, her assistant Mayra came to help out with the moms and bridesmaids hair while Khara did everyone's makeup as well as my hair. Everyone looked gorgeous! I had airbrush makeup done and it was lightweight and held up very well - didn't even feel like I was "too" made up. I know it may be cliche to say, but I really felt like I looked like the best version of myself! I would highly recommend booking her services :)

    Amazing artist and woman! Khara really did a wonderful job! She made me feel so comfortable from day one, when I had my consult! I knew I had found a respectable professional that I could count on, however she was so much more then that, she is a very sweet spirit, a real joy to be around!! Thank you Khara!!!

    I couldn't possibly say enough about Khara and Mayra her assistant, They both did such an amazing job on me (the bridesmaid, My mom..the bride, and My sister..a bridesmaid as well) for my Parents vows renewal ceremony May 7, 2011. When we spoke for the 1st time, Khara listened to me and explained everything in detail instead of just taking over me with her own ideas. She's a professional. She's never pushy and is her demeanor. She is very calming, which was especially appreciated on that day. My biggest thing was that I wanted my mom, my sister, and I to look great and not look so made up that you don't recognize us. Well that will NOT happen with Khara, she uses airbrush foundation and the most amazing techniques so you literally end up as the most gorgeous version of yourself. She brought her own false lashes and everything else, We didn't have to prepare or buy anything. Her prices were beyond fair and trust me, I had done my research. Lets just say that her quote for hair, lashes, and makeup for three people was what one person had quoted me for just MY hair, lashes, and makeup. But she's not a "budget" stylist, there's nothing cut-rate about her service. You just get more than what you paid for. Khara and Mayra are extremely versatile... look at their websites. We all looked so beautiful that day..We all received so mnany compliments all day and to this day. To me, this part is a no-brainer. Hire Khara and you know you'll look your best on your wedding day!

    Khara truly made my wedding day a calm experience amongst the stress beforehand. She is professional, kind, and has a relaxing nature about her that makes you comfortable right away which I learned amongst the chaos of the wedding day, is VERY IMPORTANT.
    She was very concerned with what I wanted and what my vision was, which I have found to be uncommon in other makeup artists. She did an amazing job on both my makeup and hair and still made me look like myself. My wedding took place on a farm, and she gave me a look that was effortless and where the makeup didn't take away from me, but was stunning. Khara really is talented in pulling your true beauty out. She was absolutely awesome and I reccommend her to anyone!

    I cannot recommend Khara Williams enough. I hired her for my hair and airbrush makeup, and hair for my bridesmaids. Not only was everything flawless, but I cried like a baby at my wedding and neither my makeup nor my false lashes budged an inch. I have never felt or looked so beautiful in my life! My bridesmaids weren't sure what exactly they wanted done with their hair, and Khara whipped up some fantastic, creative styles that complimented them perfectly! On top of all that, she is one of the nicest people you will ever meet. She constantly calmed my nerves and reminded me to breathe and relax, and she was just so personable and comforting! When I started planning my wedding, I wasn't even considering having my hair and makeup done. But I'm ever so glad I did! It was well worth the money and then some!

    She was amazing! She heard every small worry of mine and tailored her services to my needs. She came to my home, put me at ease, and started my wedding day off with calm and tranquility while she did my hair and makeup. The day went so much smoother because of her. I'm so thankful I found her!

    Khara really listened to what I wanted for my big day and made it happen. My hair turned out gorgeous (I get compliments on it to this day!) and everyone's make-up looked great as well! It was the first time any of us had the spray on make-up and it was worth the extra money! Our make-up lasted all day and night through many tears and I did not think that was possible! I loved the fact that she came to our hotel to beautify us and that we did not have to go anywhere. When everything started to hit me as Khara was doing my hair, she was so sweet and encouraging! I started to get extremely nervous and anxious and she really did say all the right things to help me relax. I would definitely recommend her to everyone!

    I hired Khara to do both my hair and makeup for my wedding as well as getting highlights/color pre-wedding. Khara is probably one of the friendliest people I have met and right away knew i was in good hands. She did a great job on my color and made sure that it was exactly what I wanted, she also took the time to explain what she was doing so I actually walked away with some pretty good haircare tips. I was so impressed that I sent my groom to her for his pre-wedding haircut and she did a fantastic job on him as well. The fact that she offers on-site styling was so convenient! She came out to the location on my wedding day and styled my maid of honor and mother as well as my own. I would recommend Khara to any bride who is looking for someone who is cool and calm and who will pamper you on your wedding day!!

    You really cannot do anything better for yourself for your wedding day than to hire Khara to come to you for hair and makeup.

    You will not have to schedule multiple appointments and time things down to the minute. You will not have to travel to any locations other than your venue.

    You will have a calm professional there to focus on making you look amazing.

    Khara used airbrush makeup (silicone base) on me for my July wedding in Tucson. I definitely got sweaty, but that makeup stayed put, looking great for HOURS and HOURS!

    I didn't get a single blemish or any irritation at all from any of the products she used, and I have pretty sensitive skin and am quite particular about what I put on my face.

    Khara also drove across town to come to me for a trial run. I wanted to tweak a couple things and she had no problem doing what I wanted.

    She always responded to email quickly. That was my preferred contact method, and while I had some trouble with other vendors who were not prompt in replies, I could always rely on Khara to get back to me FAST. Most times within 24 hours.

    She was amazingly flexible and patient while I was finalizing details and changing things several times in the weeks leading up to the wedding. She really made me feel calm and has a knack for instilling trust.

    It was so relaxing just to show up to my venue and plop down into her chair for an hour or two and be pampered.

    The makeup was a bit heavier than it was at my trial, and I preferred my trial look, but was still happy with how I looked in wedding photos.

    I also had a braid on one side that she switched to the other side of my head on the wedding day, but again, I was still happy with my look.

    Khara is a superstar. You will not regret hiring her.
