Despite the ugly, untrue reviews one disrespectful client (who has no regard for others health) left— I can promise you that those ill-intended reviews are just unkind nonsense, left by people that haven’t even actually been lucky enough to meet her. I know Kelli on a business/professional level only, but I can wholeheartedly say that she is the most organized, sanitary, thoughtful, intentional, wonderful, kind, considerate, talented, amazing artist and human. I would gladly buy Kelli a house if I ever won the lottery, because she’s one of the most deserving in the beauty industry. Her ethics are unmatched and her skill is always on point because she constitutes her education and is always working the hardest to keep up with the most organic & genuine ways to make others beautiful. Kelli is someone I will stand behind for all of eternity. YOU WILL NOT REGRET BOOKING WITH HER! Unless you’re someone who is unable to follow rules and thinks you’re the exception to them; willing to infect others with your illness and inconsiderate ways.
If I could give ten stars, I would! Working with Kelli was an absolute dream. She immediately understood my sensibilities and, with her deep expertise, created a look that felt authentic and radiant, lasting flawlessly through 90+ degree heat, an outdoor ceremony, and plenty of tears. I received so many compliments throughout the day, and I could not have done it without Kelli and Taylor. Taylor brought such positive energy while patiently styling my hair exactly how I envisioned it, and my mom and best friend also felt beautiful and confident thanks to the team’s artistry. Their talent and care made the getting-ready experience both relaxed and joyful, the perfect start to the day. (photo credit: Alixann Loosle Photography / video credit: Kelli Thompsen)
Kelli did the most incredible job on my wedding makeup!!! She was so professional and communicative and the best part is she made me feel like myself. Often times, I feel like getting your makeup done professionally I don’t recognize myself, but she made sure I felt comfortable in my own skin and truly looked like myself. Kelli helped me talk through what I wanted and she was so collaborative with other vendors. She was also such a calming presence on my wedding day. It was exactly what I needed going into my wedding :)
I loved working with Kelli and her team. Kelli was an excellent and friendly communicator, who made me feel very relaxed and welcome. Maddie did my hair & makeup for my wedding and it was perfect. I looked like the best version of myself, and both hair and makeup stayed in place all day and night! (Seriously - she had me out of the chair by 2 p.m. and I still looked perfect when I got home at 2 a.m.) I would recommend Kelli's team to anyone.
Kelli was wonderful to work with throughout the whole planning + wedding process! I started seeing Kelli a few months before the wedding for facials (highly recommend!) & it was so great to get to know her before the wedding day! Truly felt like a friend doing my makeup vs a vendor, which brought so much comfort. Kelli and her team do an amazing job at enhancing everyone's natural beauty rather than the same look on each person. We had a hot summers day and the make up felt so light and did not budge in the heat at all. We had a busy schedule for the morning but Kelli was very accommodating to squeeze in one more gal at the last minute! Could not recommend her more!
