“I’ve known Kate for years and her makeup artistry is incredible, she’s the only one I would trust to do my wedding hair and makeup! I was super calm all morning while we were getting ready because I knew I was in the best hands. Kate was super positive and was able to accommodate all of the last-minute changes. My makeup was exactly the boho look I was going for and I had heaps of compliments on the day about how natural it looked. It also lasted all night and into the next day! I didn’t want to take it off because it looked so good! Kate uses top quality products and I would highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for the best service and product that lasts while you party the night away.”

“I loved having Kate as my hair and makeup artist for my wedding! She was patient with my pickiness, helpful with suggestions and never pressured me to do something I didn't want. She helped me create my perfect look, soft and natural yet glamorous all the same. She did all this with great banter too! Kate was friendly and relaxed, whilst staying professional in her work. I couldn't recommend her more.”

Kate did an amazing job with the hair styling on my wedding day. She styled hair for six ladies, and each person looked stunning. Kate truly worked wonders, and everything ran on schedule without a hitch. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a stylist in Wanaka.

“I just wanted to say thank you for being so amazing on my wedding day! I couldn't have asked for anyone better to do my hair and makeup. You made me feel so at ease and relaxed - and were great at listening to what I wanted.
And I was super happy with the result. The hair and veil stayed in place all day and night. I got so many comments about my hair.”

Kate did my hair for my elopement and I couldn’t have been more impressed! She did an absolutely amazing job and made my wedding hair dreams come true. Not only was she extremely kind and personal, she was incredibly knowledgeable and knew the exact questions to ask to deliver the best possible outcome. It was an extremely windy day and she pulled off my half up/half down hair style so that my hair remained perfect, even when the wind blew my veil out twice. She also took the time to show my fiancé how to put in my veil, as it was just the two of us with our photographer for the elopement. It’s evident that Kate has worked hard at her craft and is terrifically skilled. I HIGHLY recommend Kate and I’m so happy that she was a part of our special day

Kate was incredible! We had her do hair and make-up for my wedding day and she was amazing. Instantly she made us feel comfortable, she was so kind and calming and made the process of getting ready easy and fun! Kate is a talented hairdresser and a top-notch make-up artist, she was born to do this and did a flawless job. I love looking back on photo's and reliving the day with the most beautiful hair and make-up. If you are looking for a fun, professional, relaxed hairdresser and make-up artist, Kate's your gal

“I have been a client of Kate's for many years now and she is my number one go to for anything hair or makeup related. From formal weddings to fancy dress, I've always felt confident in her capable hands. She is undoubtedly talented at what she does with her attention to detail and creative flair, but what I really love about Kate is that I always leave that chair feeling beautiful and confident and that is a beautiful gift that I'm sure every woman can appreciate.”

Kate is an amazing hair stylist for weddings. She did an outstanding job on my wedding. She styled for 5 different hair styles and did our makeup. She made sure that everything was on schedule and she had enough time to touch up each of our makeup and double check everything looked good. My ladies and I received lots of positive feedback about our makeup and hair. Highly recommended Kate for wedding hair and makeup.

Kate is the best! She’s not only my regular hairstylist who does the perfect blonde (I frequently get asked who does my hair), she also did my wedding hair. She did amazing and it was the best my hair has ever looked. She also did all my bridesmaids and they all commented the same. She has such incredible skills and I would highly recommend her to anyone
-Majken Margetts
Kate did my hair and my friends for my elopement. I gave pretty vague ideas for what I wanted and Kate was able to take that it and turn my hair into something magic! She was amazing. She is also so easy to talk to and so approachable! We had such a great experience.
-Rachel Roberton
Kate did both the hair and makeup for our wedding recently and we could not have been happier. Not only did she do an incredible job, but she is such a lovely person and was so sweet with our wee flower girl. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her for both hair and makeup. Very impressed with her service and with Kate herself.

Kate did an amazing job with hair and makeup for my jewelry photo shoot! Kate was incredibly professional, friendly and creative. Kate perfectly captured the look I envisioned even with very limited direction from me. Her friendly nature made us feel so calm and we knew we were in good hands. Her attention to detail made our photoshoot such a success - all the models looked stunning. I highly recommend Kate for any hair and makeup
