BEAUTY.
It's what we do.
Kat Laskey is a true professional: you've probably seen her work everywhere without knowing it. She can just look at you and instinctively know what will look best on your face shape and complexion. Kat did bridal makeup for me, plus makeup and hair for two of my bridesmaids. They looked the most gorgeous I've ever seen them. Kat's excellent, easy to work with, and always on time in starting and finishing her clients - it's so rare to get all three in any creative professional, so make sure you book her as soon as you can!

Kat 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!

Kat absolutely hit it out of the park with how I wanted to look on the big day. My Ceremony was at 6:00 PM and my after party lasted until 5:00 AM (Yes, AM!). My hair and makeup managed to last just as long as the party did, which is insanely impressive! I felt like the most beautiful version of myself on my wedding day, and words cannot express how grateful I am that I went with Kat for the big day. At the end of it all, I didn’t want to take my hair and makeup off. In the future, I hope to reach out to Kat again to recreate this look for another event – that’s how much I LOVED it!!

Can't recommend Kat and the Absolutely Beautiful team enough! From initial conversations to the day of it has been an A++ experience. Kat is not only extremely talented and executed my vision flawlessly (it's almost as if she was inside my head and knew what I meant without even having to say it) but she also is just a joy to be around. My mom and bridesmaids were also obsessed with their glam as well. I was really nervous about this aspect of the wedding planning because I am really picky when it comes to hair & makeup but trust me when I say you will be you're in the BEST hands if you go with Absolutely Beautiful!!!!

Kat was amazing!! I asked for glam makeup and Hollywood curls, and she delivered seamlessly. She's also amazing with updos! My HMU lasted all day and still looked amazing at the end of the night. Another plus is that she's super responsive throughout the whole process. I'd highly recommend!!

Kat 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!

Kat is simply AMAZING! She is easy to communicate with by being responsive which I really appreciated, During my trial I was ready to book her immediately. I didn’t have a clear vision on what I wanted to look like on my wedding day, and after chatting with Kat and having her get to know me and my skin, she made me feel absolutely beautiful while still looking like myself. On top of her skills, she has an incredibly calming and positive energy that I knew I wanted to start the morning of my wedding with, and I’m so glad I did!

Kat was beyond perfect. She had such calm yet vibrant energy. Her work is stunning (both the hair and makeup). Her team was incredible and efficient. She was super accommodating and gave amazing advice. Overall from the first message to the final result, I was so happy, I can’t recommend Kat enough.

I used Kat for my wedding hair and make-up and I couldn't be happier. I initially did a trial with Kat because she was the fastest and friendliest response that I got when inquiring about the cost of hair and make-up for my bridesmaids and myself. I did the trial and was really pleased with the results. My sister, who was my maid of honor, immediately booked Kat for her own wedding. Kat is easygoing, kind and an absolute joy to work with!

Where do I begin? Kat and her team did a spectacular job with me and my maids on my wedding day. She made each one of us look so beautiful, natural and glamorous. I am extremely picky about hair and makeup. I want high quality looks that look like they belong on the red carpet, and not every artist has the skills to pull this off. Kat and her team do. Not only is Kat super talented, but she was a pleasure to work with as well. From the initial emails, to my wedding day, she was extremely professional, responsive and sweet.
