What people are saying...


reviews from Zola.com

Kelsea is an amazing make up artist. It was such a seamless and easy translation of my vision to my makeup look for my wedding. She truly understood natural yet accented. Kelsea was professional and so responsive to every question and need.
Melany
Kelsea was a super kind, respectful, and attentive HMUA. I first did a make-up trial, and upgraded to a photoshoot in her new studio in NoVa. I absolutely loved my look!
For the wedding day, I opted for a soft-glam look with pink sparkling eye shadow and a bold lip.
She did a great job with my soft waves half-up hairdo, including the perfect placement of flower pins I purchased.
She also offers services for your wedding party, including a "light touch up" option for folks who just need a bit of grooming.
LGBTQ+ friendly!

I had the absolutely privilege of Kelsea doing my make-up + hair for my August wedding. She was wonderful to work with and her skill at what she does came through with every face she painted that day. My mother looked so beautiful and it was so special to have that moment to get ready with her thanks to Kelsea! I will never be able to express how grateful I was for her presence on the day. I will be hiring her again and again!
Dani
Kelsea was a fantastic support during my wedding day. She was very communicative and patient during the whole planning process and during the big day. She answered every question very kindly and gave me great tips for my hair and face care routines in preparation for the wedding. I would absolutely recommend working with her!
