Best experience ever

Well first off, I’m the mother of the groom and was so apprehensive on getting the service (hair/makeup) done without a trial. The Glam team was so supportive and attentive to everything I said.
The day off, she was so professional yet made me feel so comfortable. I looked sooo beautiful and felt incredible when she was done.
Thank you for making me feel like a Queen!

Excellent wedding makeup

I reached out to Kylee months before my wedding to find an artist willing to work at my location. Kylee responded within less than a week and started planning with me to get the perfect wedding look. We did a trial session a few months before to make sure we would be able to accomplish the right look. Kylee absolutely killed the trial makeup and made me feel beautiful as ever. On the day of my wedding Kylee arrived with absolutely everything to execute my wedding hair and makeup. Kylee truly went above and beyond to make this day special for me while getting ready, with a custom playlist for me and all my girls to listen to and even brought live baby’s breath flower to add into my hair as she noticed it in a few of my inspo pics. My hair and makeup lasted all night and looked so beautiful in photos.
I give the highest recommendation of using this MUA at your upcoming wedding! Kylee stays professional but makes your experience fun and stress free. I wouldn’t have had it any other way on my special day!

Thank you for everything, I couldn’t have done it without you

Very kind and thoughtful!

Ky Elle blew me away! She was so very kind a thoughtful. She had a presence that is professional and calming which was greatly appreciated during the trial appointment and day of! She is skilled with her makeup and is willing to listen to your preferences, and play around with different ideas. I would definitely recommend her and her talents! Thank you!

Kylee is the absolute BEST!

From the first call with Kylee, I knew that she was personality we needed for my sister's wedding day. She is the absolute bomb, is so much fun and just amazing to work with! To start, she brought coffees and teas for us all on the trial and on the wedding morning, and after a rather crazy getting ready and rushing out of the house, she not only locked up after us, but she came in absolute clutch (basically saved the wedding) by grabbing the bride's wedding vows that had been left behind and bringing them to the ceremony. After the ceremony, she stuck around to help retouch anyone afterwards (which was incredible cause many tears were shed!)—not only did she retouch the wedding party, but she even helped out other guests and made everyone look and feel great! Furthermore, Kylee was just so awesome that we invited her to stay for the wedding, and she got some great pictures of the couple when the photographer was out, and also of the guests! And, the most important things, the bride looked radiant all day. Not only that, but she helped the groom out as well who had some breakouts so that he also felt super confident. I cannot stress enough how fabulous she is. If you're looking for someone to do makeup, look no further. 100/10 recommend!

She understood the assignment.

Ky was my first pick after she did my sister-in-laws wedding in 2020. She was nice enough to drive
out for my wedding in Olds.

MUA- 10/10
Products quality: 10/10
Timeliness: 7/10

My only thing was I really put a lot of time into planning my wedding. Especially not just being on tome but I planned for extra time so my husband and I could do our first look without rushing.

She unfortunately showed up half an hour late which kinda to me was a big deal to me and the planning I did with my husband.

Makeup: was really great, it photographed so well, she is skillful.

Makeup Artist

Kylee did the makeup for my wedding and has now been my go to makeup artist for anything I need! She always listens to the style I’m looking for and finds the perfect balance between glam and still looking/feeling like myself.

I have also hired her to do the makeup on some of my clients for boudoir photography and she provided top quality work for the girls.
Could not recommend enough!

Moved province, kept deposit

I was so excited to book Kylie for my wedding make up after viewing her reviews and photos. Unfortunately, she moved to another province and kept my deposit. She offered to provide services if I paid the travel costs, but I wouldn't have booked with her if she was relocating outside of Calgary. Kylie reassured me multiple times she'd refund me once she had a chance to get her BC business up and running, I fell for it, and she ghosted me.

Very disappointed.

Its taken me a year and a half to get over what i consider as a bride a horrible experience. Communication was horrible between me and Kylee. She was quick to respond and book a trial, but following the trial I never received a contract or confirmation she would be able to do my wedding. The night prior I still had not heard after many attempts. had to reach out to my hair stylist (who had worked with her in the past) who finally was able to get a hold of her for me. She then sent an apology and confirmed. On the wedding day my make up took over 2hrs even though the conversation we had at the trial was that she does these trials so she knows exactly what to do on the wedding day so that it's quicker. Trial took 1hr and a half but the wedding took 2hrs. On the wedding day, my hair vendor had left about 1.5hrs into my make up trial. After she had left, Kylee had asked me if she was able to adjust my hair as there were a few loose ends she wanted to fix. I agreed and then she proceeded to adjust for 45 minutes. At this point I was not happy but did not speak up as I thought it was in my best interest. After all this, she still had one bridesmaid's make up to do. At this point we were already 20 minutes into my and my husbands first look. She agreed to me paying her later since we were behind schedule. After all was said and done me and my husband missed out on 1 hr of photos due to this extra amount of time to adjust my hair. (Also I will mention that I never even received mascara, at the trial it was applied to booth top and bottom lashes but not on day of.) Fast forward to the ceremony. due to all the hair adjustments my curls were not as curly and the spot that was meant for my veil was now filled with 20 bobby pins and the veil was unable to sink into spot asintended. I was also told by my photographer that Kylee had told her that she could tell I was unhappy with my hair and wanted to "polish" it. I guess my hair trial and what I planned with my other vendor didn't suit her needs. Following the wedding Kylee still never sent a contract and demanded to be payed in cash. She then did not show up at the time discussed to pick up the cash, so eventually was kind enough to allow me to transfer her. If you are seeing any red flags in booking or anything then listen to your gut. I wish I would have

Wonderful Work!

Kylee was soo much fun to have join us on our special morning! She's so friendly and vibrant she feels like a long time friend! Kylee did such a perfect job on my bridesmaids and I and even gave us a few tips and tricks for later use! I highly recommend Kylee to anyone!

Would recommend, but some bumps along the way

The work Kylee did for our wedding was wonderful. Myself and all of my bridesmaids looked absolutely beautiful however, there were some bumps along the way. My contract had originally stated that she would arrive at 6:45am, the day before she then said she wouldn't be there until 7am which was then bumped to 7:30am. This interfered with the days timeline. I had 4 bridesmaids and they all had gotten at least an hour of makeup done. When it was my turn, the bride, she only spent 25 minutes on me. My make-up was not the same as what I had done for my trial either. My bridesmaids were upset that she had taken some time out of their makeup time to change songs as well as that they were not asked about any skin problems or what lip colour they wanted.
