Today we’d like to introduce you to Katy Reddell
Hi Katy, we’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
When I moved to Austin in 2016 after completing cosmetology school. I then enrolled in makeup artistry school to continue following my passion for beauty and helping others feel their best. While in school, I realized building a business would take more than talent—I needed to find my clients.
I started advertising on The Knot and WeddingWire and reached out to local venues to get on their preferred vendor lists. Slowly, the inquiries came in, and word of mouth began to spread. Each wedding I worked on was a small step toward the business I dreamed of creating.
Today, that dream is a reality. My team and I now work over 200 weddings a year, bringing beauty and confidence to brides all across the hill country.
We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
Overall, it’s been a relatively smooth road of business growth, and I feel incredibly fortunate for that. Of course, like any business, there have been challenges along the way. The biggest hurdle was navigating the chaos of COVID—dealing with reschedules, cancellations, and all the uncertainty it brought to the wedding industry. That period was definitely stressful, but we managed to adapt and push through. Beyond that, I really can’t complain. I’m grateful for how far the business has come and the amazing clients and opportunities we’ve had along the way.
Thanks for sharing that. So, maybe next you can tell us a bit more about your work?
I specialize in high-quality, beautiful hair and makeup artistry, with a focus on creating natural, soft glam looks that enhance the skin and look stunning both in person and on camera. My goal is always to make clients feel confident, radiant, and true to themselves on their big day.
What sets us apart is our attention to detail and the care we put into every aspect of the client experience. From our artistry to our communication, we prioritize quick, thoughtful responses and kindness in every interaction. I’m most proud of the trust our clients place in us and the incredible feedback we receive, which reminds us of the impact our work has on their special moments.
How do you think about luck?
I do believe there’s an element of being in the right place at the right time. When I first looked into advertising on The Knot and WeddingWire, there happened to be a slot open in the top advertising tier, which I later learned is hard to come by. That opportunity put me on a high-traffic platform right from the start, and in my first year alone, it brought in over 50 weddings. I feel very fortunate for that timing, as it helped kickstart my business and set the foundation for the growth I’ve experienced since.
