Posh KC was the best choice for my bridal hair and makeup! Lauren was a phenomenal stylist and both hair and makeup were everything I could have hoped for. I heard about Posh KC through a friend who was in a wedding that previously utilized their services, & they came highly recommended. I'm thankful to have found their services and am looking forward to visiting again in future.

Summer, ILY. Summer is an amazing stylist. During my trial, I was concerned my hair would not curl and hold up for a wedding day. Summer assured me we would make a plan. Then on wedding day I switched up my inspiration and showed Summer something new. She blew my expectations and I was so happy. I took off one star purely for communication with Posh’s schedulers. My journey to book them was rough and it seemed like they don’t pay attention to their emails and phone.

Absolutely loved working with Lauren who helped create my dream wedding hair and makeup come to life!! She is so kind and was so great to work with. Highly recommend Lauren for both hair and makeup!

I cannot thank Summer enough for executing my dream hair for my wedding this Saturday as well as taking on 8 people ON HER OWN to do wedding hairstyles. She’s the perfect amount of sarcastic, professional, and chill. I highly recommend to anyone who needs any sort of hair styling for an event or wedding. I was truly blown away.

Everyone took care of me at this salon! I cannot recommend POSH KC enough. The team that I worked with was so KIND and supportive. My makeup was done by Rachel and she's incredible. have never had my hair so bouncy and voluminous Maddie is phenomenal! Thank you to the owner as well - I need some flexibility and she supported me. I don't have photos back yet, so this is an iphone candid shot - but I felt absolutely beautiful. Thank you to the team.

Amazing experience!!

I used Posh for my wedding and had a great experience! They took notes/made changes during my trial, and the day of my wedding took their time and made sure everything was perfect. They made time/accommodated for 1 extra person the morning of (completely my fault when confirming numbers). Rehearsal dinner hair and makeup was included in the bridal trial, and they made the experience so fun and relaxing leading up to the big day the next day! They were timely and very efficient with services for everybody the morning of the wedding, as well as being very easy going and carrying conversations and making us all relaxed. Everybody's hair and makeup seemed to last (as well as it could in windy 90 degree weather). My only complaint would be that your credit card just gets charged without receiving a receipt, but I know I could just call myself and get it! Overall a great experience!

I was very impressed with both the hair and makeup stylist. The team worked to get me in on a booked day with little notice. Very great experience. Wanted an updo and they delivered. Great character from the stylists. Nice vibes.

Lauren is AMAZING! Ask for her when you set an appointment. Incredible experience at Posh KC. Such a chic, clean, and elegant vibe.

The girls at Posh KC are insanely talented when it comes to hair and make up; if you’re looking for a blow out bar for a night out, headshots, or just because look no further. I’ve been a loyal client for years and they never cease to amaze.

Beware!! Posh KC has declined in quality of service over the last year. We utilized their services in June 2023 and all went very well. We decided to move forward with their services again for my second DIL and her wedding party. The bride, MOB and myself, MOG went for our trials a few weeks ago. What a disaster! The stylist that was scheduled to do our hair that day was not able to do our hair for unknown reason. Instead of rescheduling our appointments they placed us with a stylist that proceeded to tell us during our entire appointment time that she is not comfortable with updos and they should have never had her step in for the other stylist. Needless to say all of us had hair styles that were NOT what we asked for. I did try to call Posh on Monday but from previous experiences I know that they DO NOT answer their phone so I emailed them. The manager did call me back right away but just made excuses as to why this happened. In addition, she did refund us for our hair services. The bride has decided to NOT move forward with Posh due to the fact that she is not confident in their abilities and lack of customer services. Now we are left to do our own hair on the wedding day as all other salons are booked for the day of the wedding. Absolutely shameful way to run a business!!

It’s alright if you’re in a pinch and need something done. The only thing that bothered me was employees eating and drinking around the front desk and then serving clients. Everything needed a good wipe down/sweep!

I hate to write a horrible review about a place but my experience was awful. From the start, the communication wasn’t great and I had to reach out to them several times before getting a response. After a lot of back-and-forth, I finally got my hair trial scheduled. I showed up to my hair trial at posh KC and no one was there- I called, emailed, and knocked on the door several times with no answer. I eventually left 30 minutes later. They ended up calling me back about 40 minutes after my appointment and said they had scheduled me on the wrong day.

I really wanted to like Posh KC because they were a convenient location for my wedding and I had heard good things. However, the summary of my experience with Posh KC is that I felt taken advantage of multiple times. I would, unfortunately, recommend staying away from this company for wedding-related services to avoid the headache. Here are details. Bridal makeup trial issues: My under-eye creased before I even left Posh. My mascara ran quickly after I left. Lip application was uneven, she could not match the color I requested after multiple attempts. Eyeshadow application made my eyes look smaller after I explained I had hooded eyes and needed a diff. technique. I could see my acne scars through the foundation. I did a retrial of my makeup w a different person (Rachel) and was very pleased! They did not make it difficult to do another trial, which I did appreciate. Hair was great the first time w Alyssa, so I didn’t do a hair retrial. Issues with scheduling: Hair and makeup for the rehearsal dinner is included in the bridal package. They did not proactively schedule my rehearsal dinner session. I physically came to Posh to get it set up. The lady at the front desk laughed when she looked at the schedule (which did not make me feel great). She said they were likely not available the date of my rehearsal dinner (even though it should have been in my file when I purchased the package). She sent me away so they could figure it out. This was about three weeks before the wedding. If I had not gone in proactively, I wonder if they even would have tried to schedule it. Wedding: The ladies that did our hair and makeup did a great job! Alyssa did my hair, Rachel did my makeup. Mya and another girl whose name I can’t remember were our other hair and makeup stylists. I was relieved that everything worked out for the day-of after the issues leading up to it. Post-wedding issues with payment: I kept a spreadsheet of the services all of my bridesmaids received so I could have an accurate amount to Venmo request after the wedding. The total amount of our services did not match what I was charged. I asked them to check the math and get back to me bc it appeared I had overpaid (not by much, but I wanted to ensure everything was accurate). See our communication on this issue below... 1/31: I called and asked for an itemized receipt. They emailed it to me. I compared it to my spreadsheet. It did not match. I sent my spreadsheet to them asking they check the math and get back to me. 2/1: I missed Ey’Leonna’s call bc I was in class. I called back same day and got their voicemail. I emailed her letting her know I called and would be free the rest of the night to discuss. 2/8: I had not received an update, so I called and spoke to Rachel. She looked at it for me but wanted to run it by Ey’Leonna since she had been handling it. 2/9: Ey’Leonna calls and says the only thing she can think of is that they didn’t charge us for 4 lash services. I asked, in that case, why I would be the one that was overcharged? She said she didn’t know and would need to do the math. I said I felt frustrated that I’ve been waiting 9 days for them to “do the math” and I’m confused why I don’t just have an answer at this point. She raised her voice and she said she had personal things going on, was out of office, and she is the one accountable for the payments. I apologized for the personal things she is dealing with, wished her well, and explained this is not meant to be a personal attack, it’s just business and I would appreciate an answer. She said she would do the math again to figure out what’s going on. 2/9: Ey’Leonna calls back and says Alyssa figured out the issue and would be better at explaining it to me. Alyssa explained that the bridal package gratuity was not factored-in on my spreadsheet, which would have been $90. The $90 minus the lashes they missed came out to the difference in cost. I offered that they charge my card for the difference. They declined. Ey’Leonna apologized for not being able to figure it out.

Great job

I got my hair and make-up done at Posh for graduation pictures. Lauren did my make-up and Debra did my hair. I was blown away by their talent, hospitality, and consideration. I felt stunning after my appointment. I highly recommend Posh KC!

I was pretty disappointed with my experience with Posh. They had come highly recommended and have so many 5-star reviews that I felt I was making a good choice hiring them to do hair and makeup for myself and my wedding party. I went in for my trial, and my makeup was cakey, breaking up on my skin, and I had mascara all under my eyes after 5 hours, so I decided to do my own makeup. I did a low bun for my hair, and it turned out beautiful. The gal that did my hair was very nice as well! My bridesmaids also looked beautiful! My other issue was that communication was just really bad. We had so much back and forth communication, and the numbers they would confirm were somehow always wrong. Posh was fine, but do a trial and make sure your communication is nearly foolproof.

My hair and makeup for my wedding was absolutely perfect and lasted all day! I love the vibes of all their hair stylists and makeup artists. They are so kind and have great energy. They helped make my wedding day so fun and made me feel beautiful!

We used Posh for 9 hair and 10 makeup for the day of our wedding! They did a fantastic job (my hair and make up made it through 95 degree weather for photos before the ceremony and you could hardly tell). They also were so timely and helped keep our day running smoothly!!

I had my hair and makeup done yesterday for an event. I absolutely adored the job that Rachel did for my make up and that Elida did for my hair. I will absolutely be coming back for services again. I had a great experience it was the perfect start to a great evening. I am absolutely thrilled with the job they did!!

I had my wedding reception in Kansas City, and my friend and I had appointments for hair and makeup. I had hair and makeup, she had only makeup. PROS: Alida did my hair and did an AMAZING job. My hair is kind of tricky to deal with (especially my bangs) and she took her time making sure everything was perfect. What’s pretty miraculous is that it was a pretty humid day in KC, and my hair held throughout the night and even looked great the next day. I hate when special event hair is crunchy from all the product, but it was soft and natural. Rachel did my makeup, and perfectly recreated the look I showed her on Pinterest. I’m Asian, so a lot of makeup artists do eye makeup on me that doesn’t suit my eye shape, but Rachel worked with what I had and it looked amazing. My makeup looked great in real life AND photos. I do modeling part time so I know how difficult it is to achieve makeup that can look good in photos and in real life. CONS: My friend had her makeup done by Drew, and no joke, she was finished in 20 minutes. She asked for a glowy look but was caked in powder instead. Her eyeshadow looked nice, but she was constantly getting stabbed in the eye. She was originally scheduled for false eyelashes but after the treatment she got, decided to forego those. She ended up having to go home and add blush, highlight, contour, and lashes because the makeup artist managed to add weight to her face. We were both concerned I would get the same artist, but luckily I did not! I saw on the website that Drew is a new makeup artist, and the salon was very busy, but I don’t think any customer deserves to spend $60 on a terrible 20-minute makeup look. My experience was definitely worth 5 stars. My friend, however, probably 1 or 2. The salon itself is very pretty and clean, and they validate parking for the parking garage next door. Depending on the artist/stylist you get, I can recommend POSH KC! UPDATE: Ashley was kind enough to refund my friend’s makeup service and send an apology. While the makeup experience can’t be undone, I appreciate the quick refund and effort to make things right. I will update my review to 5 stars!

I had the pleasure of working alongside PoshKC at a recent photo shoot. Their work is impeccable and flawless. I highly recommend working with them for your hair or makeup!

Kianna is so sweet, and gave me a great blowout in short amount of time. The front staff was also great, and checking in/out is fast and efficient.

Makeup: 5/5 stars Hair: 3/5 stars I used Posh KC to do hair and makeup for me and my bridesmaids for my wedding in October of 2022! We had three women come to our Airbnb, and they did a wonderful job. They were very quick and efficient, super pleasant to chat with, and you can tell they really knew what they were doing! My makeup experience was fantastic. It stayed on the whole day, it looked exactly how I wanted, and the fake eyelashes looked super natural. I gave my hair experience a 3/5 because even though it looked amazing, it sort of fell apart throughout the day. I had it half up half down, with a braid on the left side and twists on the right side. My hair is super thick, and within an hour it started to fall out of the very complicated bobby pinned setup. I had to have my mom and a bridesmaid fix it multiple times throughout the day (at least 5), and we had to do a really big touch up right before the ceremony. Also, because my hair is so thick and straight, it has a hard time staying curly. I told the hair stylist this, but my curls still became super flat within a few hours. Overall I'd recommend them, just definitely do a bridal trial, and make sure they know exactly what you want!

Posh KC is the best! As a wedding planner I experience lots of hair and makeup artists and the girls at Posh are professional, fun and talented.
