Park Avenue Blow Dry and Beauty Bar / Kensington Makeup and Hair Artists

The girls at the Beauty Bar did my hair for my wedding and all of my 6 bridesmaids, mother, and grandmothers hair! We all looked beautiful and the atmosphere was so relaxing and fun! I also got a spray tan there as well! it was a beautiful bridal "glow." This will now be where i go for all my beauty needs!

i felt like a princess. the girl who did my make vup was awesome and sweet, as were all the girls their

I LOVED my wedding makeup!

Paloma from Kensington is the BEST!
She did my bridal makeup and my mom and mother in law's as well. Everyone commented on how beautiful and natural we all looked.
We all three did the air brushed makeup and it was wonderful and lasted the whole day!

I would highly recommend Kensington and request...

My Make-up and hair team did an amazing job during my trial and my actual wedding day. They listened to what I wanted and made me look and feel more beautiful than I ever have...and I am very good at my own make-up and hair, quite the perfectionist, and a control freak for the most part. Bonnie did my hair and Jessica did my flawless make-up, both girls had amazing personalities and they were extremely talented. When my time was runing short and the town car had arrived, Bonnie actually had to tie up my corset for me as the rest of the bridal party finsihed getting ready. These girls were fabulous and I was amazed at how well connected I felt to them by the time my sessions were over. Jessica escorted me to my town car, assisting me with my train...when we approached the car she took one look at my smile and told me "this is why I do this job, you get to be a part of something special in someone's life"...and no doubt I will never forget these girls and the amazing service and direction from Kensington. I will continue to recommend Kensington and their artists to anoyone I know with the full confidence that you will LOVE what they do...and who they are! Bravo!


Thanks Kensington! XOXO

I had originally asked someone I knew who dallied in makeup to do my makeup for our wedding and then the more I thought about it, the more I realized you can't have just anyone beautify you for one of the most important days of your life!!! During my research, I stumbled upon Kensington's website and loved what I saw! Looking at the wedding beautification packages definitely made me even happier knowing that the artists would come to us, and since I had bridemaids from out of state, this was essential! All of the artists had a lot of experience and was assigned to the silver or gold package based on that experience! For the trial, the artists came to my house and worked until we were all happy with the results, what could be better?! They were on time and professional, personable and thoughtful. I had Jessica for my makeup and Bonnie for my hair and they did a gorgeous job! Bonnie even did an updo after my trial so my fiancee wouldn't know how my hair would look for our wedding. Another stylist, Tiffany, came on the wedding day as well to assist in having everyone's hair done beautifully and in time for the festivities. Everyone was so relaxed and enjoyed their time in the chairs so much! Jessica truly tailored every girl's makeup to highlight their natural beauty and took the time to bond with each of us. And Holli, the owner, is amazing! She quelled my nerves when she had a staff shift and the cooridnator that I had been working with for months followed a dream teaching job to Europe and her replacement fell quite short of filling her shoes. Holli was beyond on top of the situation and not only handled the scheduling and remaining details, but she also did them with finesse and confidence, something I truly appreciated in the weeks before the wedding. If you want your beautification schedule and results to be top notch and enjoyable, I don't know why you would chose anyone other than Kensington! Thank you so much ladies!!!

I had jessica for makeup and lily for hair and they rock!! I did two trials because I wasn't happy with the first but they wanted it to be perfect for me. They came back a 2nd time and did it PERFECTLY!!! i loved my hair and makeup and they delivered. Personable, professional and most of all TALENTED, they became friends by my wedding day. Another makeup artist from out-of-state did my bridesmaids and mother at a different house. When one of my bridesmaids and mom came to see me the morning of the wedding they were so distraught! They hated their hair and makeup. BUT! Jessica and Lily saved the day. While still keeping me their priority they helped my mom and best friend look and feel their best. They touched up my mom and bestfriend and because my family was happy, i was an even MORE happy bride that day. Kensington rocks.
p.s.
i have stubborn hair that is difficult to curl and lily used wool shake for my hair from REdken and my hair stayed CURLED even till the next morning. Loved it.

We hired Paloma for makeup and Lily for hair. Since the bridesmaid, mother of the bride and myself all live in the northwest, we had to do the trial the day before the wedding. Both Paloma and Lily were extremely professional, kind and did an excellent job. Originally, my mom wanted a complicated hair style which after the rehearsal dinner she decided didn’t work for her. On the day of the wedding, my mom didn’t know what she wanted to have done with her hair, but did know she didn’t want what she had for the rehearsal. Lily was completely fine with changing the hair style the day of the wedding and my mom loved the new style.
Although I have thin hair that doesn’t hold a curl very well, I was determined to wear my hair down and in soft waves for the wedding. When Lily did my hair for the rehearsal, the curls fell out within an hour. I explained this to her the next day and she said she had the perfect product. Whatever she used worked because my hair looked great the day of the wedding and held up throughout the pre-wedding pictures, ceremony, cocktail hour and reception.
Paloma did the make up for the two bridesmaids, the mother of the bride and myself. She did an excellent job with all of our makeup and we were all pleased with how we looked. Everyone commented on how amazing my makeup looked the day of the wedding and my makeup, even in the non-professional pictures, looks great!

Kesington was great. The girls arrived at my venue on time, it took them minutes to set up and begging working on eight bridesmaids, they were very patient with my girls, as some of my girls did not take pictures of the hairstyle they wanted. The makeup artist was phenomenal. We all paid extra for the airbrush and it was worth it, one of my bridesmaids has acne scars and they covered them so well that in the pictures her face looks flawless. The hairstylist made recommendation to us and explained why. At the end of the night our makeup was still enact.

This company is great! They did an amazing job for a great price and even traveled up to my wedding in Prescott;)

Wonderful! My ladies and myself looked amazing on my day! they listened to what I wanted and made me look flawless on my day! My bridesmaids and my mother looked so beautiful! The hair and make up was wonderful! It was so nice to have them come to the hotel my wedding was at and be able to relax after I was finished. THey were so nice!

I used Kensington for my wedding. They were great! I got Corrina for hair, Stephanie for makeup & Natasha as an assistant. We had lots of fun getting ready and no stress at all. They came at 6am to give us enough time :)
The price was great and they were able to achive exactly what I wanted. I would definitly recommend this company for any bride.

Paloma did a beautiful job on my bridesmaids, mother in law, and my make-up! I looked like me, but better. I received a ton of compliments on my wedding day. Everyone commented on how beautiful my eyes looked. Thank you Paloma!

Kensington was wonderful. My bridesmaids and I don't tend to wear much makeup and they did an amazing job of making sure we had just the right amount to look great be feel like our best selves! The hair was great, everyone was able to have a unique style.

Kensington is great. They travelled to my venue for a reasonable fee and made us all look beautiful.

Kensington Make-up artists were amazing and it was the lightest, most natural, long lasting make-up I have ever worn! So perfect for the whole day! The artists were professional, upbeat and made the day personalized for me!

Holli, the President of Kensington, did my makeup for my wedding, and I have never felt more beautiful in my life. I looked flawless all day, and the only thing I had to reapply was my lipgloss. Even through tears and the heat, I looked picture perfect the entire time. Even better, I looked like me, just a more glamorous bridal version of me. She is incredible, and I would recommend her to anyone. I also recommend the trial so you can try out colors and ideas with her ahead of time, so that you can relax on the big day.

So my hair and makeup were awesome for my big day. We had 9 people that they did hair and make up for and they even did a trial run before hand. I purchased some extensions and they put them in and they looked great. If I could post a picture of it I would.

Kensington Makeup did a great job on our hair and makeup. They allowed for plenty of time to get ready and were fun and relaxed.

We used Kensington for all of the girls' hair and makeup for the day of. There seemed to be a little confusion as to which makeup artists did airbrush make up - I had wanted to do airbrush, but just got traditional. I was very happy with the way everyone's hair and makeup turned out though. Most of us didn't wear too much makeup and they really did a great job giving us all a more neutral beautiful look. We need to be done by 2, and think we were all ready by 1, which was great. However, as the bride - I was ready by 11:30 and seemed a little early since things didn't hold up until the end of the reception. They also forgot to put my veil on (course I forgot as well). We all looked and felt great, and I scheduled things at the last minute so I was happy that they were able to get our group in.

They did a great job. Only disappointment was they came a little too early and we had to do MANY touch ups on hair and makeup. Other than that they made the process smooth and fun. it was nice not to worry about my hair and makeup being done on time!

My make-up artist did an excellent job and I would use her again but the front desk staff was not the best. I arrived a few mins late to my appointment the day of my wedding and she told me that I would have to wait a hour to get my make-up done by someone else because I was 5 mins late. I explained that I did not have a hour to wait because I was getting married in a few hours. The make-up artist herself came out and said that it was not an issue and she would be fine. In the end it all worked out great!

They do an amazing job on makeup and hair! All of their staff is amazing and you won't be disappointed with their service!

I recommend the services of Kensington Makeup and Hair Artists to make your Wedding Day that very special day you always wanted,that will be remembered and cherished by you and all your guests for many years to come. ~~ Angela Neik, www.calligraphybyangela.com Dallas Calligrapher

If you want to look like Jennifer Aniston, or perhaps Liz Taylor in the fifties, then Kensington Makeup are the pros for you. You could possible walk away with an offer for a TV show.

We highly recommend Kensington Makeup Artists. From a photographer's standpoint, hair and makeup are an integral part of beautiful wedding photos. We've worked with Kensington Makeup Artists at several events. At the last wedding we were impressed how Holly stayed with the bride throughout her photos to ensure her makeup was touched up and every hair in place! What a difference it made!

Make-up is an art, just like any other aspect of creating a perfect look. Kensington Make-up has that art mastered.

Make up Artists that know their business and make beautiful brides glow....

A great Make-UP artist! I recently worked with them at a wedding and I loved the way she made the Bridal Party look so fresh and beautiful. A complete professional and I look forward to working with them again!!!

Kensington Makeup Artists are some of the best in Arizona! I send brides their way all of the time. I love getting a phone call from my bride after she's booked them for her wedding day. They always feel like they made the best decision....and then on the wedding day, when their hair and makeup look unbelievably beautiful, the bride is almost speechless.
I've heard brides say things like, "I've never felt so beautiful".
Kensginton Makeup rocks!
