Kim is amazing at what she does. The first bridal trial we did I had ideas in mind that worked better on the models I was looking at than on me. But Kim patiently gave me what I wanted because a bride can be fairly stubborn about what she wants! LOL. After the first didn't work out Kim traveled down to Aptos (Santa Cruz area) to work with me again (we were in Pacifica the first day). This time I let her know what I liked and didn't like and she absolutely nailed the look I wanted. My skintone and colors were absolutlye GLOWING and beautiful and healthy. All my natural beauty was played up and I looked natural, and felt comfortable and beautiful. The make up wasnt caked on, the colors were perfect and I looked and felt GORGEOUS. I don't know what she does, but each time she spent over and hour on make up alone with me and worked super hard to perfect the look. She is literally and artist. The day of the wedding I changed my hair style and she nailed it and did a beautiful job with the make up. Both stayed on from 9AM-1AM. I looked and felt comfortable, radiant, natural and gorgeous. Kim also did a complete make over for my bridesmaid who looked GORGEOUS. She cut her hair, styled and did her make up and she was absolutely gorgeous!! She also did my mom's make up and two other bridesmaids hair and make up. They all looked absolutely fabulous and natural. No one looked overdone or harsh. We all looked and felt gorgeous and it was all due to Kim! She does an amazing job and really works to get exactly what you want. She blends make up so flawlessly that it looks natural even if you go for a dramatic look. She is top notch and for her price you really should be amazed and snatch her up ASAP! read more

Kim was amazing. She really took care of me and my mom. I actually pursued the makeup career after getting my makeup done by her. She is an inspiration and I'm thankful to have worked with her read more

Kim was referred to me by one of my good friends. Kim did her make up for her wedding and I thought she looked beautiful. So of course I had to contact Kim. After getting in touch with several make up artists I found Kim's work to be excellent and her prices are affordable. I had scheduled a make up and hair trial and Kim nailed my make up. I showed her a picture of J Lo and Kim worked her magic. I had to schedule another hair trial since I wasn't sure what I wanted the first time and Kim helped me finalize my look the 2nd time. On the wedding day Kim came with an assistant and they both were very flexible and got hair and make up for 3 brides maids, 1 bride and make up for 2 moms done on time (started at 9 and was done by 2 pm). Kim makes you feel very comfortable. My make up was gorgeous (as well as everyone else) and it lasted all night. She did a great job with my hair too but unfortunately, since my venue was very windy, I had to altar my hair a bit. I got tons of compliments from my guests and pictures came out great. I definitely suggest working with Kim. read more

Kim is such a delight to work with; I met her twice, once in Connecticut for my bridal trial run and then for my wedding day. I was so worried because by the time I decided that professional makeup artistry and hair would be worth it, I would not be back in the Bay Area until the day before my wedding. Luckily, Kim was going to be on the East Coast for a couple of weeks so I was able to see her for a bridal trial run. During both the trial and the actual day, she was so friendly, sweet, and attentive. Her mastery of colors to fit the person's personality, age, and skin type is pretty amazing. Also, she found ways to make my thick straight hair stay beautifully curly for hours. She did the makeup and hair for my mother, my (now) husband's mother, and me, finding ways to cater the style to each of us. My husband's mother does not pamper herself with makeup and hair appointments regularly and she was very pleased with the results. We haven't gotten the photos back yet, but I'm sure they will look great. Kim came to the hotel we were getting ready at, bringing her tote bags full of hair and beauty supplies, and was very good at improvising with the environment. I wholeheartedly recommend Kim if you are looking for great results and someone who is both fun and sweet to chat with. read more

I was referred to Kim through a friend and love what she has done with my hair over the last year. She also does an incredible job with make-up. She did my wedding party and myself last July and everyone was thrilled!! Kim is a must for beautiful hair, gorgeous make-up and super product offers. read more

I love Kim for my hair and make up needs! Personality: Warm, sweet, and bubbly. I always feel very welcome and comfortable when I see her for a haircut or make up. Hair cuts: She makes my hair cut visions come true better than I had even thought. I have a nice asymmetrical cut and I personally prefer a blended short to long look. I never liked the harsh straight shaved and long thing some people have. Kim masters the blend. It never looks too choppy and she cuts it just the right length. Hair color: I am not very picky about my hair color but I do love how dimensional her hair color looks. She puts semi-permenent color on my hair and I like how it doesn't damage my hair. I need to go back for a spruce up of color but even after 2+ mo the color still looks great. She uses quality products that are nice to your hair and last. Makeup: I love how much range she has in terms of make up styles she can apply. Do you want a dark smokey eye? Kim can do it and make your eyes really stand out. She did some sexy eye make up on me and man did my eyes look bigger. But if you prefer a day time more natural look she can do that too and still make your eyes pop. It's genius. While I am all about eye make up (mostly because I am not that great at applying it myself) I can't forget that she made the rest of face look stunning. Evened out my skin tone perfectly without that cakey foundation look and applied some nice lip color. All in all I trust Kim and think she is great. I am so excited to hear she is opening a shop (Thrive) near me in Point Richmond! read more

Previously, I only had experience with Kim's haircutting skills, but now I finally have an update on her makeup and updo skills. Kim did my friend's hair and makeup for her wedding and I would have to say, my friend looked gorgeous! She also did the bride's mom and sister's makeup too. They all looked amazing! I was a bridesmaid and when we were at Legion of Honor taking group photographs, passer-byers would stop and stare at the bride saying "she was the most beautiful bride" no offense to the other brides at Legion. Kim really knows how to play up your best features and make you look flawlessly stunning! Plus she's got the sweetest personality ever. read more

I can't begin to describe what a wonderful person and talented makeup artist Kim is. She did my bridal party, 2 moms, and my makeup for my wedding. I knew that I wanted a natural look on my wedding day and that's what Kim & Jackie (hair) did. The only pictures that I showed as what I wanted was the type of hairstyle which Jackie delivered. My past experience with makeup artists are not very good....I hardly wear makeup and whenever I have it done, it always made me feel drag queenish... I highly recommend Kim for your wedding day makeup and hair needs. If any of you yelpers wants to see pictures, let me know. read more

I have seen many hairdressers in my day and when I find a good one, I stick with it! I found Kim at KM Beautification and I am sticking like glue. She has been doing my hair as well as my entire families for over three years now. Over the years my friends, and coworkers have joined in on the great hair care. Kim is always in great spirits and makes it an upbeat experience! She listens to what I want and helps make suggestions that are right for me! Also, she travels and does ultra-fun hair parties! Don't think twice! read more

She comes to you. She beautifies. She offers styling and product advice. Could it get any better? It does. With KM Beautification, I've hosted a number of hair parties, where Kim turns my house into a salon and my friends can come over and get their hair/makeup done at a fraction of the cost. The results are excellent and everyone has a good time. If you're considering a new look, consult KM Beautification first. read more

Kim is a great, talented makeup artist! She was selected as one of the makeup artists for the 2011 Miss Chinatown Pageant and did a fantastic job for the 1st winner! Kim not only can work magics on you but also has a great personality. When you meet her, you would wish you knew her much earlier! read more

Kimberly has done an amazing job beautifying myself, family and friends for my wedding. She is very attentive, knowledgeable and possesses a talent for making anyone look great by emphasizing the best features. As I don't wear a make up on a regular basis, my biggest concern was to find an artist who can preserve the natural look and bring out the best features. Kimberly did it great! Also she's done such a great job with everyone's hair, we all loved it! If you are looking for a talented artist with a great personality, she is the one :) read more

Kim is FANTASTIC!!...I live in CT. and I* will not let anybody else do my hair!!,,Thank God shes here 3-4 times a year!...I would let my hair go totally gray if I had to just to have her do it!! Also you get a show included with youir new look! Kim is hysterical. Its truely a great time & when your done you are beautiful!! read more

Kim was recommended to me by a friend, and I am very happy that I chose her to do my hair and make-up for my wedding! To begin, she has a very open, kind and sweet demeanor, which makes working with her super easy, and very relaxing. She was open to all of my make-up/hair ideas and easily made them a reality. She didn't mind when I gave her feedback, and adjusted to my needs (I'm a less is more kind of gal). On the day of the wedding, she was prompt, professional and finished easily within the time limits I had asked. I felt beautiful and was very pleased with the results. In addition, not only did she do a fab job, her prices are VERY reasonable! I highly recommend Kim for any hair and make-up needs you might have - you won't be disappointed! read more

Kim is the best! She does a great job with dying and cutting/styling my hair. She also does make up/make-overs, but I just have her do my hair. She comes to my house, because she works freelance. This is a huge benefit because it's cheaper AND comfortable (she doesn't have to pay salon rent, which brings the price down). It's great not having to go to a salon anymore, and having my hair done in the privacy of my own home. Love it! read more

It was such a last minute call, I decided to do make up and hair up do to attend a friend's wedding. Didn't know who to call, I searched on yelp and found the most impressive portfolio on Kim's website compared to other make up artists' in town. Kim was so nice to accept my last minute appointment and what a very reasonable price she gave for such a good result I had in the end. She was sooo lovely and I would definitely have her again for my next event. My friend who is also a make up artist said that Kim is the only person she would work with because Kim was so professional and lovely person. Thank you Kim, I had so many compliments yesterday. Hope to see you soon again. read more

Kim is amazing! I was referred to her by one of my friends when I was looking for a hair & makeup artist for my wedding but got frustrated because of some of the insane rates that people were charging, and in all their pictures, you could tell the bride was obviously wearing layers upon layers of makeup. Kim, however, made everyone looked so naturally beautiful. She doesn't cake the makeup on you at all, but it really lasts the whole night and you can't even feel it's there! She is also a total sweetheart, really easy to get along with, and very flexible and patient. I was probably not the easiest bride, stress-wise, for her! We had some last minute changes to where we were taking our pre-ceremony pics, which of course meant needing to alter the time Kim would need to get to our hotel and finish with all the makeup. My mom also decided she wanted to get her hair and makeup done, which again pushed the timeframe in which everything needed to get done. However, she was an absolute professional, made everyone look incredible, and got through everyone right on schedule. She was also incredibly accommodating, and she even called a prospective client for me to reschedule an appointment when I asked her to stay to do some touch-up right before the ceremony, which truly meant so much to me. I really feel like I got a steal booking her in the quality of hair and makeup artist she is! P.S. She travels outside the Bay Area--our wedding was in Napa County. read more

I've been seeing Kim for nearly a year and absolutely LOVE her work--I wish I could keep her a secret! She uses all high-end products and is extremely knowledgeable. Love her personality and the quality of her work is obvious. read more

Kim really works her magic. Every time I have a event I call her. If she is not available I don't even go to anyone else. She has done both my hair and makeup and I feel like a movie star every time. Kim has made me sexy for my playboy audition, made me gorgeous for my engagement party, batchelorette party and will be doing my wedding. I have been going to her for 3 years now. I wouldn't trust anybody else to make me go from bland to glam! She is the best! read more

Kim is unbelievably talented - hair styling, cutting, coloring, makeup, and organic homemade beauty products - she does it all. She is incredibly sweet and thoughtful. It was a joy to work with her for my wedding and I would recommend her to everyone. She was able to do both dramatic makeup looks (for me, who wears a full face everyday and is very particular) and subdued natural looks (for my MOH that never wears a lick of makeup). We all looked amazing. I am so grateful to have had Kim be a critical part of my wedding! read more

KM Beautification - The amazing bridesmaid hair that Kim did!! - Makeup Artists Near Me

See all

Kim is an incredibly talented hair stylist! My hair was looking far less than pretty. I told her what I was looking for, she gave me her professional opinion in a friendly manner, then got to work. I was INCREDIBLY happy with the results. My color (red) was rich and lustrous. The haircut gave my mane clean, healthy layers that felt amazing to the touch. I recommend Kim to anyone and everyone who is looking to receive top-of-the-line service from an energetic, sweet, and hilarious lady. read more

Kim @ KM Beautification is the best hair stylist/colorist that I have ever had! She truly has a special gift for knowing exactly what style suits you. My hair has always been complicated as it is thick, wavy, and frizzy, but Kim always gives me an awesome style that I am able to keep up with. I also had my first coloring experience with Kim. I was nervous about how color would come out on my hair but I totally trusted Kim and she did not disappoint! As a bonus, Kim travels to you and is extremely flexible. In addition she is a super make-up artist for any occasion and will even wax your eyebrows. read more

She is a great beautifier! She came to my home which I loved and she has such great energy. She did a cut, color, shampooing and blow out that exceeded my expectations for a reasonable price. I can't wait to do it again. Highly recommended. read more

Kim is so amazing. She did all the makeup for myself, my bridesmaids, and the mothers for my wedding and the girls have never looked so beautiful. On top of that she comes to my house, which is four hours away, every two months to beautify our hair and eyebrows. I have never seen so many wonderful transformations as what Kim can do to hair. And her prices are amazing too! She is so wonderful to be around and makes everybody feel and look fabulous. Thank you Kim for all your hard work and dedication. read more

Kim is amazing. If you want quality, top of the line service and talent you need to use km beautifications. Her knowledge and talent of makeup, hair treatment and styling is unsurpassable. Kim also offers great service at a relatively low price. She does not get caught up in the greed of the beauty industry and really always has your happiness, health and beauty at the forefront of her mind. I cannot say enough about kim as a person, makeup artist and hair stylist. She has resurrected my hair from the grave after several other salons had taken my money and just ruined my hair. I recently had a Brazilian blowout and corrective color by km beautifications. Well my hair is now perfect. It is silky, sleek and vibrant. I think everyone should get the Brazilian blowout. It smells great and has made it possible for me to let my hair airdry and still look great! read more

I planned my destination wedding based on suggestions from people local to the area. Thats how I found Kim! I already had an appointment to get my hair done at a local salon so Kim was just going to do my makeup. Turned out, the local hair stylest did not have the same vision as I did for my wedding hair (think beehive.... NOT KIDDING!). I went back to my bridesmaids who were all beautified by Kim and she was able to fix my hair to match my dress and make me feel the most beautiful I have ever felt! She seriously saved my wedding! read more

Kimberley is fabulous! She did my makeup, my sister's makeup, and was awesome enough to squeeze doing my bridemaids hair at the last minute after she saw how awesome my sister and I looked! I received compliments all night long. Most importantly, my makeup felt amazing, was not in the slightest bit overdone, and STAYED on the entire night without feeling heavy. Kimberley is a true professional- She shows up on time, is just a sweetheart when you meet her, and has the skill and talent to make you look exactly how YOU want to look. I was wearing a traditional red dress for our banquet in San Francisco, and Kimberley was able to make my makeup have just the right amount of drama, while keeping to my "natural look" requests. My sister, who never wears makeup, loved her makeup and felt great it in all day. I was able to meet Kimberley for a trial beforehand and she was very flexible with my very inflexible schedule. (I flew from out of state into CA a few days before my wedding). I am very much into trials for piece of mind and my previous trial with another artist came our very very wrong... With Kimberley, you don't need one. You will look perfect. read more

Kim is the most amazing beautifier I have ever met! She did make up and hair for me last Friday for our intimate wedding at SF city hall. She made me so beautiful and I got lots of compliments on that day. She's very friendly, professional and patient. Her price is also very reasonable. I would definitely recommend her to everyone I know in bay area. read more

As an Event Planner, I have worked with Kim on multiple events from Weddings to Quinceaneras. Her professionalism and creativity make her a pleasure to work with every time! I have recommend Kim's work for past events and will continue to do so in the future! Thanks again for your amazing work! read more

Kim is absolutely amazing - very attentive, knowledgeable, and great at what she does. She has been cutting, highlighting & styling my hair for over a year, making it look excellent every time. She recently started offering the Brazilian Blowout - which I would highly recommend (especially if you have naturally curly or wavy hair) - It makes it silky smooth and infuses it with body and volume while completely eliminating frizz. I definitely will be adding this to my regular Kim Beautification regime. read more

I just had the Brazilian Blow Out and I can not believe how smooth my hair is. Kim has always done my color and cut to perfection but this added treatment enables me to look like I had a professional do my my hair every day! Kim is awesome! read more

Kim did makeup for me and my bridesmaid for my wedding last September and I must say, everyone looked absolutely amazing! I have used other makeup artists before for friends weddings and other artists usually put so much makeup on your face that people don't even recognize you. But not Kim, she really knows how to emphasize your best features. And best of all, you still look like yourself! Kim has a great personality and is very easy to work with. Highly recommended! read more

I used to pay a small fortune to get my hair done at a salon. Now I get my hair done in the comfort of my home for the fraction of the cost. Kimberly cuts my hair beautifully and the color always comes out great and natural. She is delightful and funny. She also cuts my kids' hair and they think she's cool and makes them look cool! read more
