Beauty and the Beach-OC

Katie did my hair for my wedding in July and I loved it and I loved her. I have to admit I was really nervous about my hair in general because I have had bad luck in the past with stylists but Katie did a perfect job. I could not have been more happy. Also as a testament to Katies character; my mother had some unfortunate acupuncture which caused bruising on her face on the day of the wedding. Even though I had not hired Katie to do make-up, she told my mom she had a makeup kit in the car that would fix her right up. She was so sweet to my frazzled mother and made her look absolutely gorgeous (without visible bruising too!). She is very nice, very fair, and very talented. I would recommend her to anyone!

I met with Katie after having many horrible trials and she wow'd me. I'm very picky about my makeup and she did an amazing job. She completely understood the style I wanted for my wedding. What's awesome is that the girl can do hair too..I loved what she did with my hair. Hair and makeup lasted all day and night. :-)

Love that girl!

Katie and her team are AMAZING! Very easy to work with, reasonably priced, personable, flexible, and extremely talented! I can't say enough good things about their work! During my trial, I showed Katie a picture of what I'd like, and I kid you not, she was able to recreate it completely...and made it even better!

They originally were booked to do bridal hair & make up, as well as hair and make up for my 4 bridesmaids. My mom, grandma & cousin originally had appointments at another local salon, and once they saw how great their work was...they called to cancel with the other stylist and Katie & her team were very quickly able to accommodate. They worked really fast, and we were all very surprised to see that the hair and make-up lasted until the very end of the night!! We all got compliments all day and night long! :) I highly recommend her work! I definitely will be calling her again if and when I need hair/make up for any future events!

Niki did hair and makeup for me, my maid of honor, and my stepmom, and I can't say enough about how pleased we were with her work.

She arrived on time, made us feel very comfortable and pampered, and made us feel like the most beautiful women in the world! I actually cried when she was finished with my stepmom because I had never seen her look so beautiful.

Niki is extremely talented, kind, patient, and helpful. I would recommend her to any bride.

Thanks for all your help, Niki. You're the best!!

Katie couldn't have been more accommodating, She was on time and worked efficiently for all my bridesmaids and both mothers. I was a little hesitant with the fake lashes and a pallet she felt was appropriate; but when I saw my photos OH MY GOSH, what an artist. She is calming, quick and extremely talented.

Katie did my hair and make-up, the girls in my wedding party and my mother!Everyone felt beautiful all night long.
She did a fantastic job of tailoring the look to each individual. I have recommended her to every woman I know who has gotten married since!

Katie did the hair and make-up for all of the girls in my wedding party. At the time, she was 5 months pregnant and she still worked her tail off. I was so happy with how my hair and make-up turned out. I felt the most beautiful that I ever had. Just the way a bride should feel on her wedding day. Katie and her team did a wonderful job and their prices are very reasonable. I would recommend them highly to any bride that wants to look her best on her wedding day!

Katie is amazing! She helped make my sister and I feel beautiful and calm on the best day of my life! She is professional, kind and lots of fun! I have given her name to everyone I know that is getting married. I can't wait to hang out with her again on my sister's wedding day!!!!

Katie and her team did a fantastic job on me and my girls. They even did my FG's hair and it was so cute! My makeup lasted all day and so did my hair. I thought I would have problems because I have naturally curly hair and thought it would be all frizzy. But it wasn't and still looked great at the end of the night!

Loved Katie, loved her style, loved my hair. Highly recommend.

Katie did my hair and makeup for my engagement pictures last May. I have a retro theme to my wedding and so I was looking for someone who could do a very specific look. Katie more than delivered.
I looked just like I had stepped out of a movies screen and I have never felt so beautiful. I got tons of compliments from family and friends. Most people couldn't believe it was me!

Katie is super sweet, on-time, always responds within a reasonable time to my emails, and is worth every penny.
Her partner Niki did my hair and makeup for my Bpics and I was very pleased.

Katie and Niki will be doing my wedding next month and I am really looking forward to working with her again..

Katie & Niki are absolutely AWESOME! My wedding day was extremely hectic as I had 4 bridesmaids, myself, and both my mom and mother-in-law that needed to have there hair and make-up done by 8:30AM!!! Both Katie & Niki showed up at 4:00 in the morning and busted a move! We all looked the best we had ever looked and I made it to the church ON-TIME!
In addition, my 'pre-view' of my hair and make-up was great. Katie asked me about my colors - time of day - flowers - so that when it came time to do my make-up - she knew exactly what colors would work best; and even though I didn't have my veil at my pre-view; we discussed in detail what type of 'up-do' would work best with my veil. Overall - her professionalism and the time she took with me before my big day was appreciated. I highly recommend Katie and will definitely use her again for any future semi-formal and formal events.

Katie was AWESOME!! She & her team did the hair & make up for me, my family & my 12 bridesmaids! We all looked fabulous! I whole-heartedly recommend her :)

Katie has a way of doing hair so that it looks so effortless and naturally enhances the Bride's features. It is amazing! It didn't look stiff or overly sprayed, just simple, elegant and beautiful!

Katie is a gem! She did my hair and make-up for my 4/4/08 wedding. She also did make-up for 3 bridesmaids and 2 moms. Everyone loved their make-up and felt so special. I'm so glad I found her. About a week before the wedding, my face broke out horribly. Katie covered everything perfectly and my face looked flawless, and still natural. My hair turned out exactly as I had hoped, and stayed put all night. I couldn't have been happier!

“I want to tell you that I was so happy with my hair and make up. My mom and the bridesmaids looked great. I felt beautiful and the pictures turned out excellent. You and your assistant did a great job...
Thank you!”
 

“Thank You so much for taking the worry out of my day! You made me feel like a princess!”

We loved your work and your style. You did a fabulous job with all of us,
but especially Danielle! She was a gorgeous bride! We received so many
compliments on our hair and makeup. You may use us as a reference any time
you like.

“I wanted to let you know that the dress shop I got my gown at asked me to submit photos for a slide show on their site. I asked that they give you credit at the end for the hair/make-up.  I still to this day get compliments on your work and I felt like if people were to email the store and ask anything about any of my vendors it would most likely be about you :)
You really did an amazing job that day and I know your business will be a huge success for you!
Have a great day and talk to you soon,”

"Katie did an incredible job styling my hair and doing my makeup for my wedding.  I felt great about how I looked because of Katie and I still have people complimenting me on how they liked my hair and makeup.  She is very talented and I highly recommend her to others." 

 “I meant what I said in the message- you had a huge hand in making me feel sooo beautiful all day- I look at the pictures and absolutely loved my hair and makeup...Thanks again so much and look for lots of referrals coming your way! :)”
 

“I had to stop and take a moment out of my honeymoon to thank you...after you had done my hair and make up...when I said “it’s exactly the way I envisioned it,” I want you to know I truly meant it!...knowing my hair and make up was taken care of and exactly the way I wanted, set the stage for
a perfect day! Thank you!”
 

“I’m so grateful that you did my hair and make up...I also was so excited to discover you were Christian. I pray God will bless you...Thank you. You did an amazing job!”

“Katie,
You did such an amazing job on everyone's hair. I will be referring you to
anyone in need of hair or makeup services... Thanks again”

Thank you so much for the amazing job you did on my hair and make-up!! It lasted all day and every one said how beautiful it looked. You really listened to all of my suggestions and I really appreciate it! My Mom's make-up also looked amazing!                  

Katie and Niki are at the top of their field. With their professionalism and expertise they make the getting ready process flow with ease. They are both very talented!
