Meet Kristen

I’m Kristen Palmieri, a bridal hair and makeup artist with more than 20 years of experience. I work as a solo artist, on location — at your home, hotel, or venue along the Gulf Coast.

I believe in artistry without excess. Calm mornings. Looks that last through Florida light and humidity. After building Chic Artiste in North New Jersey, I now serve Lakewood Ranch, Sarasota, Manatee County, and nearby.

You work with Kristen — from the first note through wedding morning.

Gulf light is unforgiving. So is a long day in the heat. I create soft, refined hair and makeup that holds through humidity, wind, and photographs — without the heavy “bridal mask. I come to you. Quiet morning. Clear timeline. Looks that feel like you.
