Working with Katelyn from start to finish was absolutely amazing! She did such an amazing job on my hair and all of the girls in my bridal party and my mother-in law!

She is so nice and sweet and willing to work with you! I definitely recommend to any bride or anyone just looking for an amazing experience!

Katelyn thank you again so much for everything! You helped in making my day feel special!

I found Katelyn on Instagram and instantly loved her work. Since she’s in Rhode Island and I’m in Florida, we had to coordinate my trial with my makeup artist around the few weekends I could fly up—and she was nothing but flexible. She was super on top of things, always reaching out, and made scheduling a breeze.

Katelyn was professional, genuine, and clearly passionate about her craft. I had sent her my inspiration photos beforehand, and she absolutely nailed the “messy up-do” I envisioned. Later, after buying my veil, I realized I wasn’t loving the idea of having my hair up, and she was so flexible and happy to switch up the style. Since I couldn’t fly back for a second trial, the day of the wedding was actually the first time I saw the half-up, half-down look—and she completely blew me away.

I have truly never felt more beautiful, and the same goes for all of my bridesmaids. Katelyn, thank you for making me feel so confident and for bringing my vision to life so perfectly. You were such a joy to work with!

Katelyn was truly a dream to work with! She is extremely talented at what she does and really wants your hair to be exactly what you envisioned. To make it even better, she integrates herself into your special day not only as a vendor, but as a friend. She is easy to talk with and makes you and your girls feel so beautiful! Book her- you will not regret it!

Katelyn was so sweet and wonderful to work with! She helped me pick between a few options and the results far exceeded my expectations. She was also amazing with the big group we had and got everyone done early despite so many people to do that morning, and still made everyone look stunning. I would hire her a hundred times over and can’t recommend her enough!

Run do not walk to book Katelyn. Katelyn did hair for 13 (!!!) girls including my 8 bridesmaids, my mother and mother in-law, my sister in-law, my flower girl, and myself. 13 different but gorgeous hair styles. She is a true artist as my hair was a freaking work of art. She’s so kind and welcoming and her studio in RI is gorgeous and so fun. I’ll admit I was a little nervous on the day of my trial but she completely put me at ease. The morning of the wedding was chaotic with my big crew but she handled everyone with compassion and grace. ALL the ladies were happy with their hair. My hair was a freaking work of art – when she finished my eyes welled up with tears because I’d never felt more beautiful. AND it stayed the whole night and was gorgeous. I got so many compliments. I can’t recommend her enough. Seriously – do yourself a favor and book her!!

The studio has all-natural lighting, flowers everywhere, and it's such a beautiful space. If you want to get in touch with me, you can do it right here on this site, and I'll get back to you shortly. I have a ton of experience with all types of hair, and I'm very fast and efficient. So if you have a large bridal party of 10, 13, or more, I've got you covered. My end goal for the bride is for her to feel and look absolutely stunning. And then after her wedding, my goal is for her to tell all of her friends to book with me, 'cause I'm sure she will.
