June 23, 2024 at 12:00 amKat and her team recently did the make up for my wedding, and my friends and family all loved the service quality and overall experience.
Kat was incredibly attentive and was a calming presence. She took the time to understand my vision and preferences, and during the trial session, she took copious notes to ensure we achieved the exact look I wanted. As someone who doesn’t usually wear makeup, I still felt natural/like myself.
Overall Kat and her team were extremely friendly and professional, and I would definitely recommend them!

March 24, 2024 at 12:00 amKat and her team were so absolutely incredible! First, she really took the time to make sure that I looked good and felt amazing (I really don’t know too much about makeup and hair, so her help here was so appreciated). Her team was professional and kind and kept us on time (we did my bridal hair and makeup + hair & makeup for 7 bridesmaids plus my mom). Everyone looked beautiful! Lastly, I danced SO HARD at my wedding and my makeup and hair still looked so good at the end of the night. Idk what magic Kat worked to keep me from looking like a swamp witch by the end of the night but I literally couldn’t recommend her more!

August 5, 2023 at 12:00 amKat made us all feel so beautiful on a really wonderful wedding day. She is kind, patient, and attentive – she is particularly good at making you feel like “a better version of yourself”, and my bridesmaids, mum, and mother-in-law, none of whom regularly wear much makeup, all expressed how beautiful they all felt.
I felt absolutely lovely, and my hair in particular was beyond perfect. The day could not have gone better.
Thank you thank you Kat!

October 21, 2021 at 12:00 amI cannot recommend Kat Laskey and Absolutely Beautiful highly enough. I really struggled to find someone I was excited about based on portfolios/websites, since the end product is so dependent on a bride’s personal taste – I felt like I just kept seeing lots of polished curls and sleek updos everywhere I looked (which are beautiful! just not exactly what I envisioned for myself) and wasn’t sure if I would be able to find someone who could make me look like a gorg, upgraded version of myself vs. just a generic beautiful bride. As soon as I started working with Kat, all those fears totally melted away. At our trial and on the day of, she worked with me to… Read more

March 31, 2020 at 12:00 amHands down Kat and team are ABSOLUTELY the best wedding make-up team! Kat was a pleasure to work with throughout the entire process and was the person who kept me sane and centered on my big day. I had the privilege to hire Kat do my hair and make-up trial for my engagement photoshoot and was so pleased was the outcome. I of course hired her right away for my big day since I was having a hard time finding vendors I liked in the desert area. It was really important that both my wedding party and I didn’t look over processed, and that is what Kat and team deliver. You really look like the best version of yourself… Read more

March 4, 2020 at 12:00 amI was planning my LA wedding from NYC and was introduced to Kat through my wedding planner (SoCal Wedding Consultant). From Kat’s portfolio and description, I decided to schedule a trial. Kat was friendly, understanding and patient at the trial (done waaaaay in advanced) and she was able to replicate and iterate on what we trialed for my wedding day. On the day of, Kat was a calming presence and really helped me prep and get excited about the rest of the day. Kat and her team were gracious, patient, and professional with everybody, and we were all really pleased with our hair and makeup. My hair and makeup held up throughout the whole event, even after some vigorous dancing/sweating/crying 🙂

June 21, 2019 at 12:00 amKat did SUCH an amazing job doing the make-up on myself and my wedding party! I have never felt so beautiful in my life, and the makeup stayed perfect through the entire night. She did an incredible job making everyone happy – a few of us don’t typically wear make-up and prefer more natural, while others preferred more dramatic. Looking at my wedding photos and I can’t thank her enough for making us all look like total bombshells!

April 30, 2019 at 12:00 amArguably the most important decision for the wedding day (aside from the dress of course) is hair and makeup. I trialed 3 makeup artists around LA and my third was the charm 🙂 Kat not only did a beautiful job on my hair and makeup both at the trial and at the wedding, she also made up my mom and my bestie as well! My mom has never had her makeup done professionally, and she loved it!!! Kat is also an incredible person and I enjoyed getting to know her through this process 🙂 She is professional, incredibly versatile, and knows what looks good. I’ve never had my hair hold a curl for 2 days, she made that happen,… Read more

March 15, 2019 at 12:00 amKat and her team were amazing. I had 8 bridesmaids, 2 jr bridesmaids and 2 mothers. They were on time, organized and made everyone look gorgeous in the most natural way possible. Even my bridesmaids who hate getting their make up done loved how it turned out. Generally, Kat was super responsive and super on top of things. My trial was easypeasy, and she really outdid herself on my wedding day. I’ve never felt more beautiful….the hair and make up were exactly what I wanted. I highly recommend Absolutely Beautiful!

September 19, 2018 at 12:00 amKat is a wonderful makeup and hair artist! I am so glad that I found her. My wedding was in Los Angeles, but I found Kat online while I was still back home living in Toronto. Miraculously, she also happened to be in Toronto, and was flexible enough to set up a meeting with me for coffee and a consultation! I knew within minutes of speaking with Kat that I was going to choose her for my day. She was easy to talk to, listened to my ideas for my vision of the day, and offered her own suggestions as well. I did my own makeup but had Kat do my hair, which she knocked out of the park!… Read more

August 26, 2018 at 12:00 amThe ladies of Absolutely Beautiful with Kat Laskey are incredible! I didn’t actually have Kat on my wedding day—she was booked by the time I inquired—but she directed me toward some of the artists she works with, and they were unbelievably great. I had a large wedding party (14 people getting hair and makeup), and she set up a flawless schedule that incorporated everyone, and we all LOVED the way we looked! I had Nicoletta for hair and Tanika for makeup, and they made me feel so relaxed (and gorgeous) on my wedding day. I’m so thankful I booked with Kat!

December 5, 2016 at 12:00 amBook as soon as you can!!! My original artist fell through and I was on a search for someone reliable just months before the wedding. Luckily I came across Kat’s website and submitted a quote request. She called me within an hour. I seriously couldn’t have asked for a better “getting ready” team for the morning of our wedding. All my bridesmaids said they were so relaxed and they didn’t want to leave! Kat and Jackie and Tay were so amazingly talented!! Everyone was so happy!! Thank you, Kat!!!

October 30, 2016 at 12:00 amKAT IS AMAZING!!! This review is very much long overdue! I got married in February earlier this year, and am so glad I had Kat to do my hair and makeup, and my girl’s makeup. (Only reason the girls didn’t do their hair with her is we had already planned for a family friend do it, otherwise Kat would’ve been the one!).She truly is amazing at what she does and I would use her over and over again! I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who gives you an absolutely beautiful finish at the end, all the while giving you a natural look.

September 28, 2016 at 12:00 amKat is the absolute BEST!!! My hairstylist fell through a few weeks before my wedding and my wedding coordinator recommended Kat, so I booked her right away! Kat came to my house to do both my hair and makeup for my rehearsal dinner as a trial and it was PERFECT! I didn’t have any changes for her to make 🙂 She has a way of enhancing your features that look beautiful in person as well as in photos. I felt glamorous, but I still looked like me! My hair was seriously PERFECTION! Kat was extremely responsive via phone calls, texts and emails. All of my friends and family loved her and her work. She is so fun to work with and made getting ready for my big day a breeze! Thank you Kat for everything!!!

February 2, 2016 at 12:00 amKat is fantastic! She is easy to work with and just a sweet person overall. She does fantastic work and was able to create the natural look I was going for. She also gave me some touch up makeup to keep handy throughout the night which I VERY much appreciated and used a lot. I highly recommend the trial as well. I was very happy with both my hair and makeup for the wedding. Thank you Kat!!

August 3, 2015 at 12:00 amTo start, I wish there were 10 stars to give to Kat instead of 5! I hired Kat as my hair + makeup person for my wedding in May 2015. We did a trial session about 5 months before my wedding at her house and I knew immediately I wanted to use her on the big day because of her demeanor – she’s incredibly easy to be around and had great reviews from people wanting a similar natural look.

July 23, 2015 at 12:00 amI did a little research online and wasn’t sure how to pick a makeup artist for my wedding (it was in June).

June 17, 2015 at 12:00 amWe hired Kat to do my wife’s hair and makeup and my makeup. For 2 girls that never wear makeup, we asked Kat to go for the natural look. She did exactly that. She listened and did wonderful work. We did a trial run on the day that we had the engagement shoot, so that was convenient. Kat came back months later for our wedding day. She took away all our flaws and make us really glow, while still looking natural. We got SO many compliments during the wedding. We would definitely contact Kat next time we need makeup and hair.

April 8, 2015 at 12:00 amKat, Carla and the team were really wonderful to work with. My bridesmaids and I aren’t girls who wear a ton of makeup, and they did an excellent job of making everyone look natural and feel comfortable. My mom had been having a really hard time finding someone to do her hair exactly how she wanted, and Carla completely understood the look she was going for and how to get there. Kat and Carla both really listened to what I wanted for my hair and makeup and I felt stunning on my wedding day! Would highly recommend them!
