Face by Kelsi

Q: What is the typical travel fee?

The travel fee is included in package pricing and covers up to 1 hour of drive time from 9437 Civic Centre Blvd, West Chester OH 45069. Beyond that, it will be an additional $1 per mile. Anything further than 1.5 hours away will require a hotel room for the night before the big day in addition to the travel fee.

Q: Do you travel beyond the Greater Cincinnati Area?

Yes of course! Any location further than 1.5 hours away will require a hotel room stay for your artist(s) to ensure we are able to show up for you on time and well rested! This also ensures there are no travel issues (traffic, etc) that could affect your big morning. Any location further than a 4 hour drive will also require a flight and hotel accommodations in addition to the standard travel fee for the same reasons. Out-of-town brides also have the option to opt for a “rehearsal dinner trial” so you don’t have to worry about traveling for your trial or foregoing it altogether.

Q: Can I book a trial before I commit to booking for the big day?

Absolutely! I totally understand the desire for a trial before booking! However, I do have a few stipulations with that. My pre-selected trial days are reserved for my booked brides only. If you want to have a trial before booking, it will have to be within my in-salon hours. I also do not guarantee your date without a contract signed and deposit paid. This means if someone was to book before your trial, I would no longer be available.

Q: Do you also offer hair services?

I do not, however I do partner with Wanderlust Bridal for most weddings for hair! They have a team of very talented artists that I work closely with and I’m always happy to help you get booked with them as well!

Q: Do you offer airbrush makeup?

I do not! In my experience, traditional makeup is more universal for different skin types and textures. It also lasts longer and doesn’t fade as quickly!

About Face by Kelsi

Face by Kelsi

Owner

I’m Kelsi, a bridal makeup artist with a passion for helping clients feel like the most confident version of themselves. What started as casually helping a friend with weddings in 2020 quickly turned into my dream career. With a background in Communications and Marketing from Ohio State, I left the corporate world to follow my heart, and I haven’t looked back since. My goal is to enhance your natural beauty so you feel radiant, empowered, and authentically you on your big day. Check out my Instagram, face .by. kelsi (no spaces) for more of my work <3 Let’s create your dream bridal look, together!

I focus more on inner glow and self confidence than makeup because at the end of the day, makeup comes off and what’s left is your beautiful self! I help my brides create custom looks that reflect that inner beauty. I love being the hype girl for everyone that sits in my chair. I pride myself on being professional, punctual, flexible when needed, and most importantly fun to be around early in the morning! :)

Mother of the groom
Face by Kelsi was an absolute pleasure to work with for my wedding day beauty needs. From our first interaction, Kelsi and her team were professional, friendly, and efficient in their communication, making the entire process seamless. On the day of, they demonstrated their expertise and knowledge, ensuring I looked and felt my absolute best. Kelsi and her team went above and beyond to make me feel special, and I was thrilled with the quality of their work. I would highly recommend Face by Kelsi to any couple looking for a talented and dedicated beauty team to be a part of their special day.

Beautiful results
Face by Kelsi was a dream to work with for my friend's wedding day! Kelsi and her team had a fun, easygoing communication style that put the whole bridal party at ease. Their work was truly professional - the makeup application was flawless and lasted all night, giving us a beautiful, cohesive look. Kelsi listened to each of our individual preferences and tailored our makeup to complement our features and personalities. The value was unbeatable too - the quality was outstanding for the reasonable price. I couldn't have asked for a better beauty team to help make our special day perfect!

Kelsi does the most beautiful, natural makeup!
Kelsi did makeup for my bridesmaids and me for my wedding. She listened SO carefully to the feedback I gave from my trial. I had told her that it was more important to me to look great in person than to have my makeup stand out in photos and she managed to not only deliver makeup that looked perfect in-person, but also incredible in photos. I still to this day have never felt prettier in my life! She has a great range of skills; she was able to execute really natural looks as well as glam looks on my bridesmaids. She also has an incredible personality and is so fun to work with!

Face by Kelsi was an excellent choice for our wedding day beauty needs. From the start, their communication was efficient and they were incredibly dependable, showing up on time and even coming through at the last minute to make sure I got exactly what I asked for. The quality of their work was simply amazing - they made my bridesmaids, my mom, and myself look absolutely beautiful and wedding-ready. Kelsi and her team have a true talent for making everyone look so photogenic. I'm so grateful they were a part of our special day and I would highly recommend them to any couple planning their wedding.

Amazing Makeup and Very Kind
Kelsi from Face by Kelsi was an incredible makeup artist for my wedding day! From the moment we first connected, her communication was clear, empathetic and collaborative. She listened closely to my makeup wishes and helped guide me through any pre-wedding jitters. On the big day, Kelsi's work was truly flawless - the makeup application was clean and long-lasting, showing up beautifully in all our photos. Kelsi also did a wonderful job with my bridesmaids, tailoring the makeup for each person's skin and preferences. Her expertise in skincare prep ensured we all felt our absolute best. I couldn't have asked for a better beauty experience, and I highly recommend Face by Kelsi to any couple planning their wedding!
