Position: Hair & Makeup Artist
Language: English and some Spanish
Beauty Background: I began my career in 2006, freelancing for MAC Cosmetics in San Francisco, where I collaborated with photographers on beauty and test shoots. That same year, I had the opportunity to work on my very first wedding. In 2009, I made the decision to move to Los Angeles and attend Make-up Designory. After graduating, I stayed in the area and spent the next eight years working with a luxury cosmetics brand, eventually becoming their National Makeup Artist and Educator. In 2017, I expanded my skill set by adding hairstyling to my repertoire, realizing how much I enjoy bringing my clients' full visions to life. While I now primarily focus on bridal work, I love when I get the chance to work creatively on sets for brands and editorial shoots.
Career Highlights: I love when a job brings me to a place I’ve never been before. My favorite place so far has been London.
Favorite thing about my job: Meeting a new person everyday and the opportunity to chat with them and laugh with them, all while making them feel beautiful.
Current favorite bridal beauty trends: the less is more approach to skin, editorial hairstyles, sheer but bright lips
Top 3 products/tools you can’t live without:
1. Weleda Skin Food
2. Benefit 24hr Brow Setter
3. Moroccan Oil Texture Spray
Guilty pleasures: sweet treats, sleeping in, true crime podcasts
"The best ever!!! I had Kayla do my makeup and hair for my bridal shower and my wedding. To say she is talented is an understatement.
First off, she’s the sweetest thing on this planet. She makes you feel so comfortable and is so personable. Second, she really listens to what you want and does it exactly how you asked. All my bridesmaids were thrilled with their make up. I wouldn’t trust anyone else to do my make up and hair for the biggest event in my life. I would recommend Kayla to anyone and everyone and she will forever do my make up for any event in my life.
Thank you for making me feel so beautiful on the biggest days of my life!"

“Kayla did an amazing job providing hair and make-up services for my wedding. She was so attentive, really listened to what we wanted, and made us feel confident and beautiful. Also, the trial was a really fun way to get to know each other and helped me get a better sense of what I wanted for my wedding day. Love that it felt collaborative with Kayla's expert guidance. She was a calming presence on the day-of, which was really appreciated for a high-stakes event like a wedding!
Highly recommend Kayla for any future brides or anyone seeking hair and make-up services, I will definitely look to hire her in the future!"

“I really appreciated that Kayla took the time to chat on the phone and review several photos to understand my hair makeup and vision since I was eloping and didn't have time for a trial.
On the day of my elopement, Kayla arrived early and she was super professional. We had great conversation and it was obvious that she is so talented and loves what she does.
My hair and makeup turned out exactly how I envisioned. I felt and looked beautiful, but most importantly, like myself. I would recommend Kayla to anyone seeking professional hair & makeup!"
