Great working with Kelly and Agnes!

I really enjoyed working with both Kelly and Agnes. They were both very professional but also personable. Kelly always responded to emails and questions in a timely manner. Most importantly, I really loved how my hair and make up turned out! I would highly recommend their services :)

Beautiful hair & makeup w/ zero stress

Kelly and Gina were amazing!! They showed up right on time and even finished early, leaving us plenty of time to feel relaxed and enjoy the morning. Every single woman in our wedding party looked stunning and received so many compliments. I felt zero stress because I knew my hair and makeup would be superb. The trial was so helpful to make sure we were totally aligned on what I was looking for and they took all my feedback to make sure the day-of was perfect, and it was. Thank you so much for helping me feel my best on the best day of my life!
