How it works
Check your date. Book a time at chicartiste.com/book, and tell me your wedding date and where you'll be getting ready.
Plan your look. We talk through the hair and makeup you're dreaming of. If you'd like a trial, we can book one before the wedding and try your look together.
Enjoy your morning. I come to you on the day, and you relax while I take care of the rest.
Meet Kristen
I'm Kristen Palmieri, and I've been doing hair and makeup for more than twenty years. I spent twenty years in New Jersey before moving to Florida in June 2026, and I bring that same care to every bride I meet here.
I'm a solo artist, so when you book just the bride, it's just you and me. I'm the person you talk to when you book, and I'm the person who gets you ready on the morning. If your plans grow into a larger party, you're welcome too, and I bring in trusted partner artists so everyone is ready on time.
I offer on location hair and makeup for all occasions, and I especially love small weddings, elopements and beach ceremonies, where the morning can feel quiet and personal. I recently did hair and makeup for a Siesta Key elopement, and it's exactly the kind of day this page is for.
Bride only questions
Do you book just the bride, with no minimum?
Yes. I happily book just the bride, and there's no minimum party size. If you're the only one getting ready, your bridal hair and makeup are a complete booking on their own.
How much is hair and makeup for just the bride?
The Bridal Edit is $350, with the travel and reservation fee built in. It includes your bridal hair and makeup, booked together, with lashes, wedding day beauty prep, and a complimentary service for your flower girl or junior bridesmaid age 13 or under. Without the travel and reservation fee, it would be $250.
Do you come to me?
Yes. I come to your home, your hotel or your venue, so you can get ready somewhere that already feels like part of the day.
Do you do hair and makeup for elopements, small weddings and beach ceremonies?
Yes, and I love them. Elopements, small weddings and beach ceremonies are all welcome, whether it's just the two of you or a few of the people you love most.
Who will actually do my hair and makeup?
I will. When you book just the bride, it's just you and me, so the person you talk to when you book is the person who gets you ready on the day.
How long have you been doing hair and makeup?
More than twenty years. I spent twenty years doing hair and makeup in New Jersey, and I moved to Florida in June 2026 to bring that same care to brides on the Gulf Coast.
Can I book a trial first?
Yes. Trials can be booked, and they're a lovely way for us to try your look together before the wedding. Just mention it when you reach out, and I'll plan the details with you.
