    Absolutely perfect hair and makeup!

    This team is absolutely AMAZING! We had Frances for our hair and Nancy for our makeup and there is not one thing I would have changed for anyone’s hair or makeup. Every single lady in my bridal party look flawless and I have honestly never felt more gorgeous in my life. The make was stunning, Nancy is a true amazing artist. France’s had a big job on her hands, I have extremely thick hair and it is more than halfway down my back so my hair alone took a long time but most of my bridal party either had thick hair, long hair or a combo of thick and long hair. Every hairstyle was perfection and looked just right. I honestly cant say enough good things about our experience. Katrina was also great to work with, she was very easy to communicate with and made sure everything was set up ahead of the big day. I’m so glad I chose Katrina and her team. I promise if you are looking for a friendly, incredibly talented group for your wedding hair and makeup you will not be disappointed at all. Thank you thank you thank you Katrina, Nancy and Frances! You are all a dream to work with and I am so grateful you helped make my day so special!

    Homecoming Hair and Makeup

    Katrina did an amazing job transforming my daughter for homecoming! My daughter brought in inspiration photos and she was able to recreate hair and makeup that, in my opinion, were better than the photos. Thank you for helping my girl feel beautiful on a special night!

    Quality Service

    Katrina was super respectful of boundaries, checked to make sure that we were comfortable with every step in the process. She explained what she was doing and why. She also offered tips and created a fun, entertaining atmosphere.

    Carmel 9/23/23 Wedding

    I was a bit nervous booking a MUA for my small destination wedding, but Katrina made the process very smooth. My stylist was Brianna and she was just a sweetheart to work with. Very easy going and was open to my feedback. My first trial didn’t go as planned and Katrina offered to do another trial and it was way better! I was very happy to get another trial and meant a lot to me that Katrina felt the same way. She just wanted to see me happy-and I was!! For the big day, we had to go for plan b for my hair due to the humidity but it came out awesome! And can’t say enough about my makeup-I loved it! All of the girls getting glam that day were so happy as well! Overall, the entire process from start to finish was amazing. Communication and professionalism was on point! Great job Katrina and team 🩷

    Great experience with the talented crew in California!

    I loved working with Kat and her team (Frances, Brianna and Nancy) during my wedding! They were prompt, quick and did incredible work. They made myself, five bridesmaids and two moms feel beautiful and we’re incredibly flexible in the process. Frances did my hair and makeup and perfectly executed my hair and makeup, while listening to the feedback I had during my trial. I would absolutely recommend them!

    04.16.2023

    It was a pleasure working with Katrina and her team from the very beginning! Katrina was very helpful and responsive in getting me scheduled for my trial. I realized immediately after meeting Francys that she was super friendly and was relaxing to talk to during 1.5+ hair & make up! The day of the wedding Francys and Ashley felt like part of the crew we all giggled while getting ready and they made every single one of us feel gorgeous. A piece of individual feedback my bridesmaid, Marla, wanted me to pass along was that she fell asleep (drunk) in her hair and make up and had to get up at 4am to go to work the next morning and she got compliments on her hair and make up ALL DAY and was even asked if she was going to a photo shoot later. Amazing job to the whole team!!

    Perfection from beginning to end

    I was coming from out of town and Katrina made everything so easy from beginning to end. Frances did my bridal hair and makeup and she knocked it out of the park. Her team listened to us in that we were going for a more natural look since my wedding was on a ranch and didn’t push anything we didn’t want on us. Everyone complimented my bridesmaids and I all night. Highly recommend.

    What a transformation!

    Katrina did the hair and makeup for my 16 year old daughter’s first formal dance. She turned my little girl into a beautiful young woman. It literally took my breath away! Friends are still talking about the transformation! Katrina gave her the confidence she needed to really shine that night. I highly recommend her services

    Feeling gorgeous!

    I am so beyond happy and satisfied with Katrina! She did a great job making me and my two little girls look and feel so beautiful. She is so talented and when I told her to do what she wanted for hair and makeup I was extremely happy with the results.

    Highly Recommend!

    Frances did my wedding hair/makeup and Brianna helped with my mom, mother-in-law, and sister's hair/makeup. Both were very professional and listened to what we all wanted. They made adjustments when we asked for changes, but this was very minimal because they were so attentive to what we were looking for. Couldn't be happier with how my hair/makeup turned out and so appreciative for both of them! Highly recommend going with Katrina's team for your wedding day!

    So Talented!!

    Katrina was so easy to work with and I was so happy with the end result. I loved that I was still recognizable as me, but she took my hair and makeup up a few levels so I felt gorgeous and confident. Such a gift for this work, best decision you could make to work with her.

    Loved our hair and makeup!

    Brianna and Ashley did such a great job! The trial with Bri was so helpful, as I am not a big makeup person and was very nervous about this. I wanted to look like myself but enhanced—and that’s exactly how it turned out on my wedding day! I felt very comfortable with Bri and my look was beautiful! My bridesmaids and mom also loved their looks. Thanks so much!!

    Perfect for an intimate wedding!

    My husband and I did a small elopement wedding in Big Sur in June and worked with Brianna on Kat's team for my hair & makeup. Not only did she do an amazing job, she became "one of the girl's" morning of spending time with my MOH and making sure my mom felt stunning. She completely went above and beyond on our "natural whimsical" H&M ask and everyone loved their look. I would 10/10 recommend anyone on Kat's team but Bri was a real star.

    Simply the best!

    Katrina is simply the best. Not only is she extremely talented she is such a beautiful person inside and out. She truly cares for each one of her brides, takes the time to get to know you and your story and makes you feel beyond comfortable on your big day. I can't recommend Katrina enough, she was a highlight of my entire wedding planning process.

    Phenomenal work! Highly recommend!

    Can’t say enough good things about my experience with Katrina! I’ve had my makeup done for special events before, but I’ve never felt as confident or beautiful than when she did my make up- I felt like a million bucks! Was so impressed with her techniques, attention to detail, and how natural the makeup looked! I really appreciated the little tips and tricks she shared throughout the session to help me with my daily routine. She was so easy to talk to- working with her was a great experience!

    Lovely, professional & talented

    Kat and her team are lovely, professional, and excellent at what they do. I’ve had the pleasure of working with Kat and the women on her team on various occasions, both professionally (I’m a wedding photographer), and personally. Hair and makeup always looking stunning, yet not overdone. I’ve also had my own hair and makeup done by her team for family photos and was very pleased with the outcome. Kat is also the sweetest, down-to-earth person. 100% recommend!

    Perfect in Every Way

    I enthusiastically recommend working with Katrina Michelle Hair and Make up. I specifically worked with Brianna for my wedding, but communicated with Katrina when I first reached out. They were both thoughtful, professional, and made me feel heard, understood, and truly adored for my wedding and engagement shoot. I felt glowing and beautiful. I am not much of a make up wearer in my day to day life as a middle school teacher, so it was important for me to look beautiful, but still look like me. Brianna was able to achieve that balance. It was perfect. I also struggle with chronic pain, and Brianna made adjustments so that I could be comfortable while she worked. She was a caring and joyful person to have help me kick off my love day. Again, I can’t recommend her enough. Her presence is warm and endearing. It felt like hanging out with a friend.

    I know choosing someone to do your hair and make up can be a big decision, but I can’t recommend Brianna and Katrina enough!

    Exquisite artist - highly recommended!

    Katrina was AMAZING. She is incredibly talented, so sweet and kind, and really made sure that I looked and felt so beautiful on our wedding day! Her and the team of artists were so FUN - everyone really added to us all getting ready in the morning in such a positive way. Katrina went out of her way to give me pre-wedding day skin care and hair tips which I really appreciated, and just generally really listened to what I wanted. She was so supportive of any changes I wanted and gave me her honest opinion. The whole experience was so great, and I LOVED my hair and makeup! I would highly recommend her. Thank you so much, Katrina! :)

    Amazing - Frances & Brianna

    I was very nervous about booking HMU for my wedding since I don't wear much make-up day to day. Frances and Brianna were amazing! They arrived on time, were so fun to get ready with and applied make up so naturally. Hair was also amazing. I changed my style last minute and it was no problem accomodating. I highly recommend booking!

    Katrina Michelle Hair & Makeup's reply:

    We are so happy you loved working with our team Krista! Frances and Brianna are two of our most requested artists, and they loved helping your family and bridal party feel their very best for your big day.

    The Best-Absolutely Recommend Katrina for H&MU

    Katrina and her team were absolutely amazing to work with. They did an incredible job on all 14 individuals make-up AND hair--everyone was so happy. She made us look effortlessly beautiful and the best versions of ourselves without being overdone. She was extremely professional, and genuinely cared to ensure we were happy with the results. I cannot recommend Katrina enough and want to tell everyone looking for H&MU to contact Katrina immediately. She is simply the best.
