Ah! I feel like Hair and Makeup Artists are SO under-rated! What they can do is INCREDIBLE! So, I am super excited to be featuring the Best Hair and Makeup Artists for your Wedding! And if you want to see the last Vendor Feature Series post, you can look at my Southeast Idaho Wedding Florists post HERE!

KK Beauty LLC started in 2021 by Karli and they ‘provide luxury, on-site HAIR AND MAKEUP SERVICES allowing clients to curate the relaxing environment of their dreams, while receiving a star-like pamper to enhance [their] natural beauty!’. And when I asked Karli what her favorite part of her business is, she said, ‘inspiring confidence for all of life’s special events. We believe you deserve to feel like your best self inside-out’. Karli collaborated with me on a BOHO STYLED SHOOT about a year ago and my model said she felt so beautiful and of course the hair and makeup was stunning! KK Beauty LLC travels mostly throughout Idaho and Wyoming but is available wherever you need! Their bridal packages start at $500 and they book out about 6-10 months in advance but do their best to accommodate all timelines! Karli’s advice to couples planning their wedding is ‘to research your vendors. Well equipped vendors will have the resources, experience, connections, licensing, and composure to handle any bumps that may occur along the way. Favor vendors who provide proposals, contracts, reviews, and prep guides!’ And if you mention ‘Sarah Tapp‘ to KK Beauty LLC they will give you 10% off! ~ INSTAGRAM ~ WEBSITE

Next up is Hair and Makeup by Tanya LLC! When I asked Tanya when and why she started her business, she said, ‘You see, I began my beauty career at The Aveda Institute of Denver in 2008. After graduation, I headed to warmer pastures and moved to St. Pete, Florida for three years where I began working professionally in the TV and film industry. This opportunity showcased my work through Fox News, Grey’s Anatomy, CMT Music Videos, Top Chef, and beyond. After finding success and curating a strong, personal aesthetic, country roads lead me back home to Jackson. From there, I ultimately decided to pursue my own adventure and launch my business within the local bridal industry in 2011. At first, it was only me and I was one of the only ones doing Hair & Makeup for weddings.  Fast forward to today and I have a full team of 20 licensed professional stylists on my team and we service over 500 weddings a year.’ Isn’t that incredible!? Hair and Makeup by Tanya LLC specializes in luxury hair and makeup and their goal is to ’emphasize your best features and bring to light your un-denying inner beauty in an intimate and relaxed environment. Above all, [they] hope to always redefine beauty and the way women feel from the inside out’. ‘[Their] price range is between $375 for photoshoot hair and makeup to $525 for Bridal Hair and Makeup. [They] also offer custom packages to suit your needs and have everything in between including on-site massage therapists, on-site nail technicians and airbrush spray tans…and just rolled out out Junior Artist rates for … weekday elopements as well’. They are based in Jackson Hole Wyoming but can travel to you if needed! They do book out 1-2 years in advance so contact them as soon as possible! ~ INSTAGRAM ~ FACEBOOK ~ WEBSITE
