Reviews for Kate Makhlai Makeup and Hair
Wonderful hair and makeup artist
Perfection ✨🩷
For those who wants to feel radiant, confident, and effortlessly beautiful
She was incredibly helpful throughout the entire day, always ready with a kind suggestion or a quick touch-up. What surprised me most was how she naturally started capturing beautiful backstage moments, no prompting needed. If you're looking for someone who could also be a wonderful content creator for your wedding, Kate has that talent too.
Her presence was calming, professional, and genuine. I couldn’t recommend her more for anyone who wants to feel radiant, confident, and effortlessly beautiful. Exactly how she is. ❤️
Thank you Kate it was pleasure to meet you!
10/10 Can't recommend enough!
The make-up trial was lovely, she calmed all my nerves and beautifully intuited from my very jumbled brief exactly what I wanted and made me look more beautiful than I could have thought!
On the day she did my make-up, my wife’s, my mum’s and two bridesmaids. Everyone was thrilled with what she did. Throughout she was extremely calm and professional, a lovely presence to have at such a crazy time. Also she was very kind and patient when I mixed up the timings at one point.
We are a lesbian couple and we can strongly recommend her to any LGBTQI+ couples. She was very kind and respectful. 10/10.

Meet the team
Hi, I’m Kate!
If you asked my family what my biggest hobby is, they’d probably laugh and say, “Hair and makeup!” The truth is, it has never really felt like work to me. It’s something I’ve been passionate about for more than half of my life, and I honestly can’t imagine doing anything else. I still get excited by every bridal look I create and love making my brides feel beautiful, relaxed and confident.
When I’m not working, you’ll usually find me cooking, going to the gym, planning our next trip, or spending time with my family. I’m a mum of two, and our home is always full of life thanks to our two cats and our dog. In 2022, we packed up our family, including all three pets, and moved to London for a brand new adventure.
I feel so grateful that I get to call my passion my career, and I can’t wait to meet the wonderful brides who trust me to be part of one of the most special mornings of their lives.
