Ky did an amazing job. I liked her professionalism and creative ideas. She ensured that she listened and found a style that worked for me. On the wedding day my style held up all day and looked superb.

Ky was great! She was funny and made me and my bridesmaids look fabulous on my wedding day. She did one test run with me, another run for my bridal portraits, and then the actual day. She was great! After seeing my bridal portraits I decided I wanted a softer look, and she was able to make it happen. My pictures from my wedding day turned out great! My maid of honor was being so picky about her hair. She came unprepared with no pictures or any idea of what she wanted. Ky was very professional and offered some ideas. I got married outside on a summer evening. Ky offered suggestions for my bridesmaids that would allow for a nice look that would hold the summer humidity. Both my mom and mother in law have short hair, but she was able to style their hair and still make them look elegant for the big day. She was able to work with all hair types, long, short, curly, wavy, etc. I was very satisfied with her work and would definitely recommend her.

As a wedding planner, I had worked with Ky on quite a few of my other weddings. I had seen, first hand, the works of art that she can create with someone's hair. Honestly, it is almost like she is molding clay once she gets an idea of the hairstyle. As a non-traditional bride, I knew that Ky was the PERFECT choice for my wedding day hair style. I gave her a picture and asked her to duplicate it. Instead, she deconstructed the hairstyle, used the main aspects that I like and made it BETTER by adding touches which complimented my personality. Wedding photos are something that are only take once, are shared throughout generations and last a lifetime!! I am beyond thrilled with the way my hair turned out and couldn't have asked for more!!!

I'm so glad I went with Ky. She is fun, sweet, and most importantly incredibly talented! Ky and her assistant made me, my seven bridesmaids, my junior bridesmaid, and my mom look like superstars. I absolutely recommend Ky to anyone.

Ky was wonderful! Very helpful at the trial, and she truly outdid herself the day of the wedding! Everyone said how great my makeup was and how beautifully done/yet not overdone it looked. I would recommend Ky in a heartbeat!

Ky was excellent on my wedding day, she was very professional and quite lovely at helping me stay calm, she worked quickly and effectively on my bridesmaids hair as well as my hair. She was very helpful at choosing my wedding hair during the trial.

Having taken the Bar Exam one month before getting married I was in a bind, unsure if any stylists would be available, let alone good ones. I called on Ky a week and a half before my wedding. All I had to do was describe what I wanted and show her my veil - Ky worked her magic and it came out beautiful. I was so relieved - Ky saved me from the age old plague of having to test an unending number of stylists before finally compromising. On top of being amazingly talented and just all-around enjoyable, Ky was extremely professional. Ky drove into the city and showed up at 6 in the morning to squeeze us in before a wedding she had planned months before. She did my bridesmaids' hair without even a trial and they were all so beautiful and happy. More importantly, she did my mother-in-law, who was also quite beautiful and pleased. All this without ever seeing or speaking with any of them before. Ky truly made my wedding day special - I know it could not have been as beautiful with any other stylist and I know that when I receive compliments, they are real and honest because we all looked so beautiful

Ky did my hair and makeup for my wedding. She made me look stunning. I was a little worried after the trial but Ky was always there to calm my nerves and offer suggestions. She has a great personality and is very reliable. I would definitely use her again if I had to do it all over.

Ky is an amazing person. She was very friendly and very attentive to what I wanted. On the day of, I completely changed my hairstyle than what we had done at the trail yet she was totally understanding and she made me look amazing. She is a perfectionist and takes her time to make you look perfect. I was beyond happy with her work and I would recommend her in a heartbeat.

Ky made me look amazing! She sat with me as I discussed what I wanted to have done with my hair, that I didn't typically wear a ton of make-up and that I didn't want my husband to look down the aisle and think - who's that? She was able to accommodate all of this plus make my mom and my mother-in-law look great.I swear, I will never look as beautiful as Ky made me look that day.My only concern with the process was she took a little bit longer that was expected (and we even started early). It wasn't the end of the world, but it did cut some of my picture time before the ceremony.

Ky did an AMAZING job on my hair (and my bridesmaid's hair), we'd meet for a consultation and she really took the time to see what I wanted, what would look good, what was comfortable and the day of the wedding created a look I LOVED.Wouldn't change anything about the experience - the make-up people she worked with did a nice job, but one of them was late, causing some anxiety (she went to the wrong hotel and got stuck in traffic) which wasn't ideal on a wedding day.

Ky did a wonderful job! She 8 people to style that day and each and every one of us was happy with our hair. I received so many positive comments on my hair at the wedding and even later in our pictures. I live in Seattle and my wedding was in Virginia, so my only contact with Ky before the wedding was via email and phone (she was very responsive) but I was a little nervous about not meeting or having a trial with my hair stylist before the big day! Ky was professional and listened to what I wanted and I was very lucky to find her.

The service, responsiveness and professionalism were outstanding. I was very well pleased with her service and friendliness. The cost of the service was a little out of my budget, but it was worth it.

Ky was great. She did my hair and all 4 of my bridesmaids, everyone looked wonderful. She did a good job during the trial run, but outdid herself on the wedding day, it was just beautiful. She was very nice and easy to talk to and gave me recommendations for products during the trial run. I would definitely recommend her to anybody. She did a fantastic job and even came to the hotel we were getting ready at which is about 45 minutes away from her.

Ky did a wonderful job with my wedding day hair as well as my 6 bridesmaids. The only reason why she didn't score higher was the stress she caused me during my wedding day. I woke up to a phone call from her telling me that her associate couldn't make it and I had two choices: to have 2 bridesmaides start at 7AM(she called at 645AM) or I had to postpone my wedding. While I think Ky is a sweetheart, no bride should have to deal with vendor stress the day of her wedding. She should've had an "on call" replacement in case of an emergency.
