WHAT CLIENTS ARE SAYING
PROFESSIONAL, PATIENT, AND TALENTED!
ERIN GERBING
Kristen was amazing! She took me from indecisive, insecure (and somewhat neurotic) to happy, confident, and totally satisfied with my hair and airbrush makeup! She also did an amazing job on my 4 bridesmaids as well as my mother. One of my bridesmaids has very long, thick hair and said that my wedding was the first time she has had her hair styled in an up do that didn't result in a horrible headache (and she's been a bridesmaid several times). Kristen was patient with me through my trial and even made day of adjustments to make me feel confident and beautiful. I'm a makeup novice and Kristen helped me go out of my comfort zone to make my makeup look amazing for my pictures without making me look too made up. I will definitely be recommending Kristen and Rare Bird Brides to everyone I know!
THE BEST OF THE BEST!
SOPHIA GEORGHIOU
Kristen is not only an artist, she is an incredibly sweet and caring person that I very much enjoyed working with. She is exactly the kind of person you want around you the morning of your wedding, especially if that morning is as hectic as mine was!
Kristen was always quick to respond to my questions and concerns, and even arrived a bit early the morning of the wedding to set-up and spend a few minutes with us. I was glad that I had the foresight to get a pre-wedding haircut with Kristen, which allowed us to confirm all the final details for the event, and my hair and make-up turned out even better than it had in my trial. What I most appreciated about her services, however, was how much she calmed me down that morning! I was very stressed with all my family around me, and having to run back and forth to the reception venue to take care of a few details, and ended up forgetting a couple crucial things, such as the lipstick I had picked out for the event. Luckily, Kristen saved the day by letting me have a tube of hers, in the same shade. Kristen is worth the money and more- you will look and feel beautiful, as well as calmer for knowing so!
EXCELLENT AND VERY PROFESSIONAL
MIRANDA FREITAS
I found Rare Bird Brides here at wedding channel's vendor list. I could not have been happier with my decision. From the beginning, Kristen Martin (owner of Rare Bird Brides), was welcoming and understanding of my particular concerns. Since my wedding was non traditional because it had two brides, it was essential to me to find a vendor who was open-minded and willing to work with the different needs of two very dissimilar brides. Furthermore, Kristen's rates were very reasonable, especially given her attention to detail and experience.
Kristen was very patient with me and made sure that my "vision" of how I wanted to look came to live... and it did. I looked and felt beautiful on my wedding day, just the way I had envisioned it.
I would absolutely recommend Rare Bird Brides and Kristen Martin
KRISTEN WAS THE BEST DECISION I MADE REGARDING THE WEDDING!
JORDAN DUNCAN
Kristen was the best decision I made regarding the wedding! She is very knowledgeable about Hair and Makeup and her work for both are an absolute dream. I wanted a natural look for my Makeup and she was able to make sure that I had the look I wanted and that it would last all night long and look fabulous in pictures!! Initially, I thought that I wanted my Hair to be down but after my Hair trial, Kristen helped me to realize that having my Hair up might be the better option because of my Hair type. She hit it out of the park for both my Hair and my Makeup! She has the ability to do any look that you want and make you feel comfortable throughout the entire process. Her work is versatile and I really think that she can do whatever is asked of her with no hesitation. It was very important to me that my mom had a good experience and liked her Makeup and that was easily accomplished by the Rare Bird Brides team. You will not regret hiring Kristen and her amazing talent! Thank you Rare Bird Brides!!
CALM DEMEANOR AND HIGH LEVEL OF ORGANIZATION.
