I met Kara through my wedding planner to use her as my HMUA. I had my trial with her for my engagement shoot. I brought clip in extensions and she easily placed them in, and styled my hair beautifully. My makeup was great! I couldn’t have been happier. During my trial, she suggested that I get some baby highlights to give my hair dimension for my wedding day. I love them! They’ll be low maintenance when my hair grows out and I won’t necessarily need to come in to look decent. I’ll definitely be going to Kara for all my future hair needs! I even recommended her to one of the bridesmaids! For my big day, she brought two colleagues who assisted with my bridesmaids and mothers. They were a dynamic trio. They had good vibes, super easy going, helpful, and funny. I cannot imagine my big day without the help of them all. Kara always checked in on me, making sure I wasn’t feeling to anxious or nervous. I definitely recommend Kara!
Kara is a hair wizard, she is extremely knowledgeable and explains the entire process of your hair. She knows her stuff and I trust her completely with my hair, I know it’ll turn out gorgeous. I can’t recommend her enough. Thank you Kara!
Kara is amazing! I was originally supposed to get my hair done by another hairdresser but I booked Kara instead. She was really attentive and professional. She listened to what I wanted in terms of color and cut. I left feeling glamorous and beautiful. I was nervous to get blonde in my hair but Kara did is beautifully and I got so many compliments. She is friendly and very sweet. I’ve found my hairstylist for life! She is an artist and passionate about what she does! I always look forward to my visits with Kara!
I have been going to Kara for my hair the last few years and love my hair every time. After a year of quarantine that lead to an at home hair dye job Kara was able to blend my harsh roots, add dimension, and add warmth into my hair. I know if I’m in her seat that she is going to do an amazing job and I fully trust her with my hair.
Kara truly is a miracle worker!! I came to her FRESH out of quarantine with the worst at-home cut and color and in just a few short months, Kara has transformed my hair! She’s easy to work with, consistently goes above and beyond with styling and I leave her chair with a smile EVERY TIME! Even more amazing, she’s great with makeup too! She styled me for a photoshoot and I got exactly what I wanted and more. Go see Kara, you won’t leave disappointed!
