Congratulations on your upcoming wedding! I’m delighted you’ve discovered my services.
Before we delve into the details of your special day, allow me to introduce myself and provide some insight into my background and the services I offer.
As a mobile stylist, my mission is to ensure you look and feel your absolute best on your wedding day. I offer expert hairstyling services throughout the Durham Region and its surrounding areas. With extensive experience working in various beauty salons across the Durham Region, I have found my true passion in on-location bridal styling.
I hold a degree in cosmetology from Art & Technique and am a certified makeup artist. Since 2013, I have been actively involved in the wedding beauty industry. Prior to this, I gained valuable experience in the fashion sector with David's Bridal Canada, where I was part of the pioneering team that launched the brand in Canada. My career also includes numerous bridal shows across southern Ontario, which have broadened my knowledge and network in the industry.
On a personal note, I am a mother of two grade-school sons who bring immense joy to my life. Balancing family life and my business is a rewarding challenge that I embrace fully.
My aim is to provide a personalized and stress-free experience for each of my clients, treating every bride as if she were a member of my own family. I strive to offer competitive and accessible pricing, ensuring that my services deliver exceptional value. Having been a bride myself, I understand the financial pressures associated with weddings and am committed to offering realistic and fair pricing.
Should you have any questions about my services, please don’t hesitate to reach out. I look forward to the opportunity to help you achieve your dream look for your special day.

Incredible energy, authentic, awesome!
BEST Bridal experience. Dreams do come true.
Katie is a dream!
Kathleen did two hair trials on me and did my hair and makeup on my wedding day. My makeup lasted the entire day and not one hair fell out of place

Meet the team
Hello, my name is Kathleen and I am the owner and lead artist at Kathleen Goltsis Bridal Hair & Makeup Artistry.
I began my bridal journey in 2010 when I was hired to help set up and open the first Davids Bridal in Canada.
After a few years of working with wedding gowns, I realized my true passion was bridal beauty!
I began my career in hairstyling at Art & Technique in Oshawa Ontario, where I completed my degree in cosmetology.
I launched my mobile bridal hair & makeup business in 2013 while working at various salons around the Durham Region.
The wedding industry has been a passion of mine for a decade now, but my true love is for my family. I love my job because it allows me to stay home during the week with my two adorable sons and provides my husband and I the opportunity to spend both of our days off during the week with our boys together.
Please send me a message if you would like to know a little more in regards to myself and my credentials.
