Best Wedding Hair & Makeup in Portland!!!
Katarina went above and beyond my hopes for my wedding day hair and makeup. She was incredibly professional, amazing with hair and makeup, and a delig...ht to work with. From our first phone call I felt confident she would understand my vision for my wedding day, and would provide her expertise to make that possible. I loved the ability to do a trial at her very cute studio, and then she followed up after to make any adjustments needed for my wedding day. She was on time, efficient, and overall so fun to work with. My bridesmaids and I couldn’t have been more pleased with how our hair and makeup looked on the day. It lasted all day and night and I felt so beautiful all thanks to her! I would highly recommend her services to anyone who needs wedding or event hair and makeup!! Thank you Katarina & Blushing Bride PDX!!
