to Make BEAUTIFUL

I went here today to have my eyebrows waxed and I have to say, best brow wax ever!! This will definitely be my go to for brows from now on. Thank you for taking the time to listen to what I wanted and for expertly sculpting them perfectly. Those of us who are picky about our brows know how hard it can be to find someone to do them the way we like and you far exceeded my expectations! More...

I had the best experience with Kim, who did my makeup for my wedding in April. Not only is she extremely talented and professional, but Kim is very kind and easy to talk to. I was extremely lucky to find her just a few weeks before my big day.

When I visited Kim for my trial, we tried a few different looks. I wasn't really sure how I saw myself as a bride. Kim worked with me to find a look that really felt like me but more glamorous. She wanted me to be happy with the result and was more than willing to try different things to get me there.

A week before my wedding day, my brother (who was my man of honor) got a black eye at my husband's bachelor party. I panicked. When I told Kim what happened, she didn't bat (a voluminous) eyelash. Not only did she put me at ease but she was able to cover up the bruise perfectly. I could not be more impressed.

I would -- and have -- recommended Kim to my best friend. Thank you Kim for everything you did to help make my wedding day wonderful! More...

I had an amazing experience working with Kim, Angela, and the To Make Beautiful team! Kim and Angela did my bridal hair and makeup both for a trial and for my wedding day . I feel like they really listened to what my vision was for what I wanted to look like on my wedding day and were so collaborative. They brought such a nice energy into the getting ready process and I felt like I could just relax knowing I was in good hands. I absolutely LOVED my wedding day look. As someone that doesn't wear a lot of makeup, I was so happy with how enhanced yet natural I looked! My hair and makeup lasted all day and all night (almost 12 hours total.) My bridesmaids also had their hair and makeup done by the To Make Beautiful team. They all loved how their looks turned out too! For a super consistent, reliable, and professional wedding day look, I would go with To Make Beautiful! More...

Kim did such a great job not only on me but also my bridesmaids,mother and mother in law. She takes the time to listen to what you are looking for and makes it happen.

I saw Kim for a facial and lash lift/ tint and couldn’t be happier. Kim is an experienced professional who delivered 5 star service. My facial was so relaxing and my skin improved immediately.

I went to get eyelash tint and got it done by Kim. I gave a 5star because from the time I made the appointment, I was having some issues of my own that were stopping me from making to my appointment that I had to cancel twice and finally was able to book for the 3rd time and never once did KIM and her staff complain or seem frustrated if anything they went above and beyond to work with me. I was greeted by pleasant smile at the front and they explained every step of what they were doing. It takes anyway from 1 1/2- 2hours to do the eyelash tint but this was the fastest 2hrs I have ever had, Kim made the whole exprience awesome and relaxing!! The results were perfect I loved my natural looking eyelashes!! More...

Kim and Angela are AMAZINGGGG!!!! I had the pleasure of having these two do my hair/makeup along with my mom, groom’s mom, and 4 bridesmaids. I first met these two during a trial I did several months prior to my wedding. To Make Beautiful was a preferred vendor, that I found through our wedding venue, Willowdale Estate. They are both so unbelievably friendly, easy to talk to, and delivered on exactly what I asked for. I loved the results that I had from my trial and didn’t think it could get any better, but on the actual wedding day, I felt more beautiful than I ever have. I had gotten clip-in extensions that Angela put in for me. I had a braid that kind of went into a half up-half down hair style. It looked so perfect. The makeup that Kim did was flawless, there’s just no other way to describe it. I typically don’t wear too much makeup so I definitely had my concerns at first, but she made me look exactly how I had pictured. I wish I could look this way everyday!!!

I also recently went back to Kim for a lash lift and tint. I’ve always had barely-there lashes, and I must say, what a HUGE difference! I haven’t had to wear mascara and my eyes just look so much more noticeable.

The ladies at To Make Beautiful are amazing and will exceed your expectations!!! More...

Regarding To Make Beautiful wedding services for my daughters wedding this summer. Kimberlee and Nicole are simply awesome! !! I cannot say enough about the quality of their work, their great personalities and how helpful they were giving us a sense of comfort that we could simply relax and enjoy the pampering, knowing the final product would be exactly what we wanted, and more. As a mom, out of state, planning a wedding was very stressful. Kimberlee and Nicole were very helpful to lighten that stress. Even those last minute bridesmaids, I planned for them, they both handled with such grace and just got the extras done without complaint. They are so awesome!! Nicole even saved the day helping with all the tiny buttons on the back of the dress. We were running behind and she was really there for us!! Can't say thank you enough to both of them!! Would love to have them near me for all my special occasions.

I have been seeing Kim for skin care for many years. About six months ago, she recommended I switch from another product line to the Jan Marini skincare line. Jan Marini products are amazing! This sounds like a commercial but I truly have noticeably clearer skin and my face is much brighter. I have used a lot of different products over the years and this is the first time other people have asked what I am doing differently. I love the whole line and the Jan Marini sunscreen has been a lifesaver this summer (and it smells great too)! More...

To Make Beautiful did such an amazing job for my wedding! From the first time I met Kim at the trial I knew she was a perfect match for me. Her personality says it all! She is calming but fun all in one package - something a nervous bride needs especially on the day of her wedding to make sure everyone is having a good time. Her team came onsite, set up quickly, and kept everything moving so that we were all ready on time. My makeup came out so perfect and lasted all night (even through those pesky happy tears!), she really knows how to make those eyes POP! She was also willing to work with my videographer and photographer to get those essential getting ready shots. I would highly recommend Kim and her team to any bride looking for Hair and Makeup!

To Make Beautiful was a preferred vendor for my venue Willowdale Estate. I am a person that does a lot of research and weighs every option before making a decision. I am glad I did my research on To Make Beautiful because Kim (make up) and Angela (hair) knocked it out of the park. They did make up and hair on myself, my mom, my husband’s mom and 4 bridesmaids.
My venue did not allow access to get ready on site until 12, which would have meant that Kim and Angela would have 4 hours to get everyone ready (not a lot of time). Kim and Angela really wanted to take more time with people to make sure everyone looked perfect. They troubleshot this time crunch by suggesting they come to the house I was staying at to get some extra time with my bridal party. When it was time to head to the venue, they packed up all their supplies and drove the venue to finish us there. They don’t charge by the hour, so they didn’t make extra money doing this. They really cared about making us look beautiful and they really did!
I loved that Kim had contact with my whole bridal party to get an idea of what type of make up and hair style they would be looking for. It felt like they knew every bridesmaid when it came to day of glamorizing. It really streamlined the conversation with each of them day of.
I highly suggest doing a trial before the wedding day for a bride. I did mine with my mom and really felt comfortable knowing what I was going to look like before the wedding. They took pictures and notes and referenced it when it came time to do my make up and my mom’s. There were no surprises- and when it comes to your wedding day, you want as few surprises as possible. To Make Beautiful was the best vendor I could have asked for and I would absolutely recommend their services to any bride! More...

Second, she is a true professional. She and her colleague arrived at our home early and they both paid full attention to the bridal party the entire time they were here. They listened carefully to preferences, gave valuable advice, and did not stop working until every single person was delighted with their makeup.
