KC Artistry was an absolute dream to work with for my wedding day! From the start, Krystal and her team were fast, communicative, and incredibly friendly. As the bride, the hair and makeup they did for me brought me to literal tears - I have never felt so beautiful and confident. Krystal and her team of incredibly talented hair stylists and makeup artists were a joy to have in the bridal suite. They handled my huge bridal party of 10 with such efficiency and ease. All of my bridesmaids and my mom loved their hair and makeup looks. Everyone looked stunning. Krystal was so amazing to work with and if I had to do it all over again, I would 100% use KC Artistry. I recommend them to everyone and will use them in the future for other events.

Brittany and Dee from Society 11:11 Hair & Makeup were absolutely wonderful to work with for our wedding day. From our first communication, they were friendly, warm, and very responsive, taking the time to understand exactly what we were looking for.

What truly made the experience unique was how personal and stress-free it felt—LaShawn created such an environment that allowed me to simply enjoy the moment. Every detail was thought of, and I felt like royalty from start to finish. If I could do it all over again, I would hire LaShawn in a heartbeat. She is truly an artist and a blessing to have on one of the most important days of your life.

      Kelsea and Alena made me feel so beautiful on my wedding day. Kelsea chatted with me via Zoom to get an idea of what the day was going to be like and the look I was going for. I did a trial at Kelsea's studio in Virginia and I got to hang out with her adorable pup while she brought my vision to life and asked me lots of helpful questions. She then took feedback from the trial so that Alena, who was my artist on my wedding day, could execute a perfected version of the trial look. My hair isn't the easiest to work with because it's very straight and fine, but Alena got it to hold its waves all night without it feeling gross and weighed down by product. She also accentuated the purple highlights I got done shortly before the wedding to match my flowers flawlessly so that the purple showed through without being overpowering. She checked in every step of the way while doing my makeup and made sure I was good with the shades that she picked. I don't usually wear a lot of makeup so I was worried about not feeling like myself, but Kelsea and Alena achieved the perfect balance between looking glamorous, but still natural. I didn't have a bridal party, but Alena did my mom's hair and makeup as well and she looked beautiful. Cannot recommend Artistry by Kelsea enough!

      Bianca is incredibly talented and just the best! She did the makeup for my May 2024 Indian fusion wedding (both for my wedding day and my Sangeet), and I could not have felt more beautiful. Something that was incredibly important to me when deciding on a MUA was finding an artist that is well experienced with a variety of skin tones. Bianca absolutely killed it while doing a variety of different looks. Leading up to my wedding, I went to Bianca for a few facials. The actual experience of the facial was so relaxing, and my skin was so hydrated and glowing leading up to my wedding. After my wedding, I also asked Bianca if she could do a makeup class for me. She had made me feel truly so beautiful (but still like myself). The class made makeup approachable for someone who has very limited makeup experience. She was SO thorough afterwards in all the materials she sent me with instructions and products listed to be able to recreate the looks we went over. I cannot recommend Bianca enough for all of her services!!
