Karen's Hair and Makeup Artistry

I can't say enough good things about Karen and her stylist Adarely! Karen did my hair and makeup for my wedding and it was stunning. I don't think I've ever felt so beautiful. Not only did she do an amazing job, but she is so sweet and caring. She made sure that I was completely happy with everything. Adarely did my sisters hair and makeup for her and she looked so beautiful. The best part was that even after all of the dancing and wedding activities were done, I still looked like I did when the ceremony started. Her prices are the best I've found, but the work they both did looked like they should have cost twice the amount. Thank you both for making my wedding day so fantastic!!!

I recently got married at the Grand Plaza and Karen did my hair and makeup along with my mother's and sister's hair. I had a destination wedding so I had to choose someone by simply reading their reviews. I am so happy we chose to use Karen!!! She was nice enough to do the trial run the day before my wedding due to it being a destination wedding and she took her time to make sure I was happy with the results. I took a couple pictures of styles I had in mind and she gave me the perfect hair-do! On the day of the wedding, Karen came to our hotel so that we didn't have to travel. I would also recommend using the airbrush make-up. I was a little hesitant at first because I don't like heavy make-up but it was actually very light and natural looking and it still looked great at the end of the night, even with my oily skin!

Karen and her team were amazing! My wedding was on a Monday so finding someone open to do wedding party hair was a challege. I found Karen's Hair and Makeup Artistry on wedding wire and corresponded with her via e-mail. Very quick responses to all my questions and concerns. It was so nice having them come directly to our location, and they made it alot of fun. The hair and makeup was fantastic, much more than I had imaginged. I was impressed with everything they did especially because we are from MN so there was no time for a trial run. I would highly recommend the airbrush makeup for any bride-to-be. We had an outdoor beach wedding and my makeup was flawless from noon to midnight. I have oily skin and figured by the time the wedding was over and photos were taken, my makeup would be a mess. It looked fresh from start to finish, even through some happy tears. Thank you very much to Karen and her team, we looked stunning and our pictures are wonderful.

Karen and her team are awesome. Karen is really professional she created a timeline with times and stylist to each girl. They listen to all of our expectations and accomplished what we had in mind. My wedding was a morning wedding and Karen and her team were there early to make sure we would be on time for the wedding. I would recommend Karen to anyone...

Thank You Karen, for making me look and feel like a princess on my special day. :)

We had the pleasure of working with Janis on my wedding day. She was awesome! She was not only great at doing hair & makeup, but she was very personable with all of us! Thank you for making us all look our best!

We planned our Clearwater Beach wedding mostly online and over the phone, since we live over 2 hours away. I researched ever single hair/makeup artist that serves the Clearwater area, looking for the best reviews and the best prices, and BY FAR Karen had both. There were dozens of companies to choose from, but Karen was the only one with reasonable prices that didn't gouge for an early morning start (which worked for us because we had a 10am ceremony), AND ALL stellar reviews. Karen was quick to respond to all my emails and the morning of the ceremony she was right on time at 5:45am with a team of girls to do hair for myself and my entire bridal party. ALL did a beautiful job!! Karen also did my makeup, and to make me look like a beautiful bride at that hour of the morning truly was the work of an artist! And bless her heart, Karen was sick that morning, and even though she was feeling miserable, she did an outstanding job. My whole bridal party loved their transformations thanks to Karen and her team. If you are looking for beautiful work and a great value, you won't regret calling Karen!

Karen and her assistant Juanita were such great help with my wedding and did a WONDERFUL job with my hair and make-up and my bridesmaids hair and make-up as well. I would recommend them to any woman that wants to feel extra special on her wedding day.

Karen scheduled 2 professionals to handle hair and makeup for my daugher's wedding. She was very responsive in scheduling and pricing was very competitive. They did the hair and makeup at the church which was convenient to all. Emily and Jaunita did a great job and we enjoyed spending the day with them. They were flexible too, helping out the Groom's Mom in a hair crisis at the last minute. Thanks so much.

Karen and her team were just amazing and professional. I could not have asked for a better stylist and she was so nice and stayed with me until
my photos were done. She knoew what I wanted and I looked so good and so
did my girls. If you want a nice, professional hair and make up stylist look
no further then Karen and her team.

Karen did my airbrushed makeup and hair for my wedding in Nov. She arrived on time and did a beautiful job. I received lots of compliments. Karen handled our time crunch like the pro she is. The entire process was a great experience, thank you! I would refer Karen to any of my friends and family. Thanks again!

Karen was amazing, loved her! I didnt do the trial run, and loved the outcome! She is talented and sweet. Did an amazing job on bridesmaids as well. A true professsional

Karen Watson and her girls were absolutely amazing to work with. Janis did our makeup and Suzette did our hair. On the day of the wedding the girls showed up on time and got right to work, making my life so much easier. Plus everyone loved how their hair and makeup turned out. I also have to say that the pricing is super competitive as well, with all the other expenses it was great to find someone who would be willing to travel to your hotel room and to have such great pricing!

Karen was very pleasant to work with. I used the airbrush make-up and my face was flawless in the pictures. Karen and her assistants worked very quickly and efficiently on my wedding day and got 6 ladies ready with hair and make-up. I would recommend Karen to anyone! Thank you!

Wonderful!!!!!!!! Made everyone look beautiful!!!

Karen was FANTASTIC! She and Janis did such a great job on my bridal party and we were all so happy with our looks. We received many compliments and I am really looking forward to seeing our pictures to check how everything worked out. Thank you again for everything-it was WONDERFUL!

Karen was wonderful, she made me feel comfortable and was such a nice person. She made me look beautiful on my wedding day!! I will recommend her to friends.

Karen did an amazing job with my hair and make-up. It came out better than I could imagine and she made that part of my wedding as stress free as possible. Thank you so much!!! Your the best!!

This lady knows how to make you even more beautiful than you already are. Karen worked with us from the trial run all through till the day of the wedding. I highly recommend you do the trial run so you can get to know her & when the day of the wedding comes BAM she is your fairy godmother who has made you more beautiful than Cinderella. My skin the day of the wedding was very horrid. Karen knew exactly how to fix the problem & NO ONE could even tell I had a huge ZIT under my nose. Thanks Karen for giving me flawless skin on my wedding day. I received so many compliments on my hair & make-up.

Karen did my hair and makeup for my wedding last week and did a wonderful job! It was so nice to have her to come to me on the big day. She is very flexible and talented. I wanted a vintage look from the 1940's and she came with great ideas and suggestions. She answered my every question and worry leading up to the wedding day with ease and prompt responses! I've already recommended her to my friends!

Karen is a true professional. I have been going to her for years. Cut Color Make up she does it all. She is the best. I woudln't go to anyone but her.

Karen did my hair and makeup for my wedding last month. I loved what she did! I received numerous compliments on both throughout the day. She was very flexible and open to doing what ever I wanted and offered great ideas since I'm not a very hair/makeup-y gal. The cost was very affordable, especially for the great service she provided. She also did my highlights a week before the wedding and loved it so much that I will continue to go to her for that service. I am an extremely satisfied customer and would recommend her to anyone. Thanks Karen!

I actually found Karen on weddingwire and read all the reviews. I decided to go for it and was not let down at all. I brought some pictures of what i wanted and she was able to re-create it. I was really happy with all my bridemaids and my hair. She was able to come to our house and do 8 hair-dos that day. You will not be let down.

Karen and her assistant did wonderful job on my hair makeup, and all my girls hair. I looked better than I could have imagined and I would definitly refer her to other brides or women of any occasion to make you look absolutely gorgeous. Karen was on time and very punctual, even got 5 girls hair and makeup done when AC and firealarm went off and was going off for about 45 minutes. Her prices were wonderful and she was a very sweet women. Her assistant even did a 10 year olds hair who gave her a hard time the whole time and she was a wonderful sport. I give them 5 stars in each section, #1 in my book!! Thanks again Karen sooo much! You are a life saver!

this is the flower girls mom and the brides mother in law, i wanted to thank you, you made everyone look so amazing you did a wonderful job once again thank you

My hair and makeup looked wonderful! Karen did a wonderful job. I never had seen airbursh makeup before so I was a little concered at first, but decided to go for it anyways and I fell in love with it. Thank you Karen for all of your help in making the Bridal Party look great.

Karen was great. My wedding was this past Friday at 11:00am she had to do 5 girls. She had to be at my house at 5 in the morning in order to get every one done on time. She never complained. I live out in spring hill it was a 2 hour drive put Karen did not mind. If you want some one who knows what there doing and is willing to go the distance than Karen is the right person for you.

Karen is wonderful at making anyone look great!! She listens to the customer and uses those comments to beautify and glamorize everyone in a wedding party.

KAREN DID THE HAIR AND MAKEUP FOR OUR DAUGHTER FOR HER WEDDING. OUR DAUGHTER NEVER LOOKED SO BEAUTIFUL. WE WOULD RECOMMEND KAREN TO ANYONE FOR ANY SPECIAL OCCASION YOU MAY HAVE. SHE IS WONDERFUL AND COMPARED TO OTHER STYLISTS SHE IS VERY REASONABLE. OUR OTHER DAUGHTER WILL BE GRADUATING SOON AND WE HAVE ALREADY BOOKED KAREN FOR THE EVENT.

I love Karen's work. She made me look and feel beautiful. I recommend her to everyone I know. She's friendly and listens to her clients in order to provide them with the perfect look. Thank you Karen for making me look & feel great for all of my special occasions!

Karen's services are very affordable and she is so talented! I recommend her to everyone I know!

Karen did a wonderful job on my hair and it looked just as we had planned. She is also phenomenal about understanding the stress of the day, plus getting all 13 of us ready on time was nothing short of a miracle! She is very patient, calm and of course awesome at hair!!! Karen's assistant was an excellent make-up artist that specialized in airbrush make-up and we all looked beautiful.

Karen and her assist. were wonderful. They were on time, got us all done in time and delt with people being late for thier scheduled time. The hair came out just like we wanted from our pictures we gave her and the airbrushed makeup was beautiful. Thanks.

I had my hair and make-up done by one of Karen's girls-Janis. She did a really good job. I forgot to bring my veil and headband to the trial (duh!) but she winged it and my hair turned out just fine on my wedding day, even though she hadn't practiced with my veil/headband. I didn't have a lot of ideas for how I wanted to do my make-up so I let her give me suggestions-she was also glad to adjust anything I wanted to change.
I appreciated that she was flexible in being able to accomodate my trial in the evening. Additionally, I was very glad to find that it wasn't a problem that it was only going to be me getting my hair and make-up done, as I didn't have a bridal party.
I would recommend both Karen and Janis!

Karen was wonderful! She came to my home to do a trial run for my hair and makeup and then came on my wedding day to do my hair and makeup and that of my mother and bridesmaids. She was very personable and kind and went the extra mile to make sure I was happy with the results. My pictures turned out beautifully and a big part of that was the beautiful job Karen did. I felt beautiful on my day and I'm so thankful that we chose Karen to be a part of our wedding preparations. I would highly recommend her to anyone who wants a stress-free experience and a beautiful look on her wedding day.

Karen and her assistant arrived early, and even came all the way out to my parents' home (near Plant City) to do our hair and makeup before the wedding. We all had airbrushed foundation and lashes done, which made everyone look fabulous. 3 of the 6 of us do not wear makeup regularly, but this make up did not make anyone uncomfortable. Both mothers went first, and we weren't paying attention to the time, so they took much longer than expected and although I, the bride, was originally scheduled for a full 2 hours, she had to be rushed and we still got to the Aquarium an hour after we had scheduled. I was concerned about this since I had an intricate hairstyle from the early 1800s I wanted to replicate with a tiara. Karen pulled it off though! I was hoping for longer ringlets around my neck and face, like in the drawings I had for reference, but we were packing up to get out of the door and Karen had to trim the hair around my face and neck quickly. I looked like I had stepped out of a Jane Austen novel - and everyone loved it!

I also had to blend my eye makeup a little when I got the aquarium since it was very dark and I have such a light complexion, but except for some splattering on my neck from the airbrushing, which can be blended with liquid foundation, the makeup stayed on all night and through the next morning! Normally I have bone-straight hair, but the curls she put in stayed with me until 3 days after the wedding when I unfortunately had to give in and wash all of the product out of my hair.

Karen was awesome. She gave me exactly what I asked for and I was very pleased with her work.

Karen thanks so much! I have never felt so beautiful. After you were done I looked at myself in the mirror and was totally stunned - I felt like a princess and never once worried for the entire evening. I really recommend the airbrush makeup to anyone considering it. It goes on light as a feather and lasts all night long.

I did a trial run bringing pictures of what I want my hair and girls hair to look like. We did makeup and hair, taking pictures and was suppose to write down. My big day she walked in not having enough staff, forgot pictures of my hair and the girls, and didn't bring the written down makeup either. I spent the next 45 minutes looking for new styles for my girls and myself. I was not suppose to be stressed it was the worst part of my whole day. I wanted to be done by 9, since my photographer was coming at 9:30. At 9:25 she wasn't finished. She finished my hair with an attitude and my photographer showed up with me rushing. Was not a happy client at all and would not recommend.

Working with Karen was the WORST experience I've ever had with a vendor...or any company for that matter. I paid for trial hair & makeup (plus added a tip), AND put down a $75 deposit. 7 days later I had to cancel due to a variety of reasons. Although I cancelled promptly...AND I didn't sign any contract with her, she refused to refund anything more than $4 and change.
My trial was on 2/10/12.
