Kitty was my expert makeup artist for my December wedding. I was a bundle of nerves that day, but from the moment I sat in her chair she made me feel like the most beautiful bride! Kristen managed her time amazingly and truly was a master of her craft! I have never felt so beautiful in my entire life.

Hiring Kitty was one of the best decisions I made for my wedding day. We had 9 girls get makeup for my wedding and Kitty was quick, efficient and everyone loved the way they looked and felt! Planning beforehand with Kitty was a breeze, she was quick to respond and very accommodating of the day's schedule. On my wedding day, Kitty was the very first person to arrive to my bridal suite and she was a wonderful, calming presence on such a hectic day. She nailed my vision for my bridal make up.
