I would highly recommend Michelle to anyone! I had inspiration pictures and she outdid what I had imagined. She has accessories to elevate your style and is so easy to chat with. She made me feel comfortable and definitely took some stress off of me the day of the wedding. She also did five of my bridesmaids hair and was on time and efficient. It rained on my wedding day and she did touch ups after pictures and honestly the hair still looked great even after it eventually got wet. She is so sweet and kind and I’ll be recommending her for all my friends weddings too:)

Hi there! My name is Natasha and I'm an on location makeup artist based out of Everett, Washington and available to travel throughout the Seattle area. I believe that beauty is personal and unique to each individual. I love meeting new people and finding out what makes YOU feel most beautiful! Each makeup application that I do is tailored to your unique skin type, skin tone, lifestyle, and personal style!

Awarded Best of Zola
I worked with Natasha Gendron for my wedding and couldn’t have been happier! She did makeup for me (the bride), my mom, mother-in-law, aunt, and two sisters-in-law — all with different skin tones, textures, and styles — and everyone looked and felt amazing. Natasha was so kind, calm, efficient, and responsive throughout the process. During my trial, I asked for a natural, polished look that still felt like me, and she nailed it. After the trial, we chatted via text about how the makeup looked throughout the day and made note of a few small adjustments for the big day. My wedding day makeup held all day and night through tears, hugs, and dancing — and looked flawless in photos. It enhanced my natural features in such a flattering way, making me feel confident, beautiful, and still like myself, which was the most important thing for me :) I was referred to Natasha by our wedding photographer, Caylie Mash, who also recommended Areca Hollinsworth (Hair by Areca) for hair. Natasha and Areca have worked together on many weddings and it absolutely shows — they’re seamless, professional, and kept everything running smoothly. If you can book them both, do it! I’d recommend Natasha to anyone looking for a talented, thoughtful makeup artist. Already looking for an excuse to work with her again!

We pride ourselves in our years of experience, while continuing to keep up with the ever changing trends, and the newest styles in bridal hair and makeup.

Awarded Best of Zola
I chose GLAMbridal because they seemed to focus on natural wedding makeup that enhances your features -- and that's what they delivered for me on wedding day. GLAMbridal's communication was friendly and transparent throughout the process, although at times my coordinator and I waited a while for responses to our questions. On the day of the wedding, my artist, Lou, was calm and adaptable, working diligently to create a beautiful, natural look that enhanced my features. Lou worked hard to use my top-of-the-shoulder (aka fairly short) hair to create a beautiful low bun with twists of hair leading into it from each front side. After I cried during my first look and messed up the foundation and powder on my cheeks, Lou stepped away from working on my mom's hair to give me a touch up. Lou helped my mom look her best, too. My makeup did not hold up well through the ceremony when I cried a fair bit more but never balled. I ended up removing everything but my eye makeup right after the ceremony and license signing because I had big streaks down my cheeks. I've never had professional makeup done before, so I really don't know how well it should withstand tears sliding down it. It was a little disappointing to have to remove all the makeup covering up my rosacea before the reception, but I was grateful that the eye makeup had held up well despite the tears. Overall, I think Lou and GLAMbridal did excellent work in professional and friendly manner and at a fair and reasonable price. I recommend them to other brides.

I’m so grateful our wedding venue, Firehouse Chicago recommended Blush & Braids Beauty Bar for my wedding day hair! My venue recommended them and their list of vendors did not miss! I didn’t have a bridal party, but wanted to get ready with my mom and a couple friends. This was perfect as Blush & Braids was able to come out and do my wedding hair (only because I booked a friend of a friend for make-up before figuring out my hair) as well as hair and make-up for my mom and friends. Macy was our artist and she was incredible! I was blown away by her skills at my bridal trial and Macy did amazing on the day of the wedding! My Mom and friends loved their hair and makeup too! In addition, Macy was so fun to get ready with, she was calming, while also hyping us up for the big day. My wedding day was full of joy and ease and much like the rest of the day, Macy’s work was perfect, no notes! Thank you, Macy and Blush & Braids for being a part of the best day of our lives!

K & Hart Beauty Collective is a boutique team of three artists specializing in elevated bridal hair and makeup. We focus on intimate weddings, elopements, and destination celebrations where we can truly connect with our brides. With a calm, luxury-driven approach, we create soft, timeless looks that enhance your natural beauty and make your wedding morning feel intentional, relaxed, and unforgettable.

I was steered toward Rachel thanks to my photo/ film team, Vannessa and Coleman Crawford (The Crawfords). Vannessa had seen such amazing work from Rachel on previous clients that she made sure to book her for her own wedding day! From there, I connected with Rachel for the months leading up. Even with the logistics of being from out-of state, it was nothing Rachel couldn't tackle and she was knowledgeable and flexible about all of the logistical questions I had! Between the trial appointment and the big day, Rachel was spectacular, both in her services and in her personality to spend time with! She had so much kindness to share while also peppering in her amazing humor and stories that made the time together bright and full of joy! She made both myself and my now husband feel splendidly pampered, with ice rolling and steam facials, premium products and tools, and masterful artistry to create a look for both of us that not only made us look and feel our best, but that held up to the drizzly, foggy, damp weather we experienced while at Mt. Rainier! She even made the extra effort to provide a touch-up pouch, complete with a powder-filled pouf, anti perspirant wipes, and more! If you or someone you know is in search of an event hair and makeup master, reach out to Rachel via her Instagram, @hairbyrachelkay, from her website, https://www.hairbyrachelkay.com/ , or via the K and Hart team!

  • Serves Mill Creek, WA

Thank you for dropping by and checking out my work. I have been a working makeup artist for over 20 years and I absolutely love what I do. I started down this path behind the makeup counter at Nordstrom in Seattle WA with Lancôme, just a part time job while I was at the UW working on my pre-law requirements. 4 years later I traded the idea of law school for MAC Cosmetics and spent the next 10 years moving all over the country to some of the best cities including Boston, Phoenix, SF and Las Vegas.

Anne was a dream to work with. She was very communicative from the beginning. During the trial, I showed her photos that were AI generated (I didn’t know it at the time) and Anne worked her magic. She consistently stopped and asked what I might like to change between base, coverage, eye shadow, and lipsticks and listened to what I had to say. She had just recently returned from continuing education trips over the winter and told me what she had learned, and how she was going to use it going forward. At the end of the day, not only was her work exquisite, she was wonderful company. On the day of our elopement, she chatted with me about true crime books and podcasts and with my husband about finance, tech and AI podcasts. She was just generally fun to be around, as well as exceptional in her work. It was a wonderful start to our important day.
