I have never felt more beautiful in MY LIFE than on my wedding day. It is priceless to feel as…read moreconfident as I did, and Kyla DID THAT. Whatever you receive at your trial, multiply by 100000 because her talent, expertise, and skill will BLOW YOU AWAY on wedding day. I looked in that mirror and was taken aback by how incredible her technique and attention to detail are. She is by far, hands down, the most talented MUA I have ever seen. The Instagram pictures and videos do not even do her work justice. Some key highlights: My makeup lasted through 85+ degree weather and crazy humidity from 11 AM to 2 AM (THE NEXT DAY) without a single touch up. The makeup ATE even with flash hours after dancing (and sweating) ALL night. Every single person who saw me complimented my makeup and said it was the perfect amount of glam while still feeling and looking like me. BOOK HER NOW before reading the rest of this review!!! MOST importantly, there is something so special about Kyla that is hard to put into words. Her energy is infectious, and she brings incredible vibes to every room she is in. She makes everyone feel so included and beautiful, regardless if they chose to get their makeup done or not. My sister (MOH) loved Kyla SO much, that she already booked Kyla for her wedding in NYC next year. We cannot wait to celebrate with Kyla again!! And I am so grateful and excited to look and feel as pretty as I did this year, one more time, for my sister's wedding!!!!!

I had the pleasure of working with Kyla for my entire wedding weekend and she was absolutely…read moreINCREDIBLE!! From my initial makeup trial, I immediately felt at ease and so confident in her work. Chatting with Kyla felt like talking to an old friend -- her warm, bubbly personality and professionalism shined throughout the entire weekend! She brought the positive energy and hype vibes even at 5:30am! Through all my nerves and anxiety over the big day, she brought a sense of calm and fun! Kyla genuinely listened to my concerns, any insecurities, and made me feel effortlessly beautiful for my welcome night and traditional Indian wedding ceremony! I absolutely love how Kyla has experience working with women of all different shades, tones, and ages. Her expertise was truly evident! I also had my mom who is in her 70s, and my cousin receive glam (they both rarely wear makeup) and they were beyond pleased and felt beautiful! I was glowing the whole day and felt like a gorgeous bride! The bridal glam I went with was the perfect blend of a softer approach with a touch emphasizing my darker features, eyes, and the most stunning blush placement and longevity. Her artistry truly balanced and highlighted my features so beautifully. Kyla is a queen -- the absolute best & you won't be disappointed!

I'm incredibly thankful for her hard work and the wonderful memories she continues to create for our family. Five stars without a doubt!

When I realized it was time for me to find a new stylist, I began to search what was nearby and…read morehad good reviews. That is how I found Plaza Hair Salon and Luann. I Luann has me come in before the appointment to look at my hair to decide what type of treatment I needed and how long it would take based on pictures I shared. I am so glad I took a chance to try a new place. Luann did an AMAZING job! She was friendly and checked in to make sure I was comfortable and how I wanted my hair styled. When I saw the finished product, I was beyond thrilled. My hair looks so much healthier and the color is just what I wanted! I will definitely be back when those pesky grays start to make an appearance!

I came in with an appointment with Hana for a color correction and haircut. Hana completely…read moreexceeded my expectations! I basically told her, "cut off all of the ends, let's go deeper blonde, and do what you think works best to work with my damaged hair". I got highlights, plus a few add ons that worked on the rest of my hair like my roots and deep highlights. I previously went to a different salon and unfortunately their balayage they performed on me left me with broken, choppy ends on one side and brassy hair. Hana knew exactly the trick to fix up my hair while also keeping it healthy and damage free. Hana will be my go-to for my next appointment! Thank you Plaza Hair Salon for a very pleasant experience.

I was nervous about the process since I have never done it before but Nina helped me understand the process and answered my questions/concerns with ease. It was a great and smooth experience that I nearly fell asleep. My lash lift service included a complimentary lip mask as well as an eye mask!

I chose The Doll Service for my wedding day beautification needs and they were awesome! After a…read moreprior trial, they knew exactly what I wanted and made all the appropriate suggestions when needed (ex: curling my hair a certain (i.e. REALISTIC) way to keep my veil and tiara in, advising how my makeup would look in natural vs. artificial lighting vs. night time...basically things I would NEVER think of). On the big day, Nina used airbrush foundation on me. It was my first time using that and my makeup stayed fresh day and night! Amazeballs I say. Even despite the tears and sweat I endured! Even my lashes...which are notorious for having a mind of their own...were super comfortable and on point all night. I felt like a suuupahhh mah-do! They also curled my hair and braided it in such a way to integrate the handmade bead tiara and veil. It stayed in place all day...one less thing that a bride has to worry about, right?? These gals are the best to work with. So sweet, very accommodating and knowledgeable. They're pros at what they do!!

Like so many other brides during this time, I made the decision to postpone my 2020 date to 2021. I also made the difficult decision to downsize our wedding to almost half, and to choose a new venue - all in 8 months to the new date we chose. I can't remember exactly how I stumbled on KC's Instagram page, but I remember thinking to myself "Wow everyone looks like they have perfect skin." When KC came to my parent's house for my trial, she was so incredibly soothing and professional. I loved that she told me to tell her honestly if I didn't like anything, because it wouldn't hurt her feelings. Not very many artists will say that, and I'm truly so thankful to her for being transparent every step of the way. On the day of my wedding, she did the makeup on myself, my mom, my mother in law, and my best friend. Both my best friend and I have oily skin and acne, and my moms have more mature skin. Everyone absolutely raved about how they looked and felt, and I was incredibly pleased with how she made sure everyone was comfortable with the amount of makeup they were wearing. My makeup also lasted through me absolutely ugly crying (lol) and dancing the night away! I could barely tell that anything, if at all, had moved or smudged. At the end of the day, when I look back at my wedding photos, I'm so glad to still see me. KC is truly a master at highlighting the best parts of people's faces with makeup, while also camouflaging any insecurities. I never felt like I didn't look like me, and even my husband who isn't really a fan of makeup loved the way I looked as well! I'll definitely be recommending her to anyone I know that gets married in the future :) thanks for everything KC!
