About

Rachel Kay is a bridal hair artist and co-founder of K&Hart Beauty Collective, the team through which wedding bookings are managed. Rachel began experimenting with hair color and updos in high school, went on to work in salons, and opened her own salon in 2019, running it for six years. The salon was sold in 2025 so the focus could move to bridal hair, destination elopements, content and brand partnerships.

Bridal work covers hair and makeup for the bride, plus I-Do-Crew and VIP Guest packages for bridesmaids, family, mothers and grandmothers. Each bridal booking starts with an inquiry and a free consultation, followed by a signed contract and deposit, a trial of the wedding look, and then the wedding day. Adventure elopements can be done at the couple's chosen getting-ready spot, such as a hotel, Airbnb or cabin, and include six hours of on-site touch-up.

Rachel travels for destination weddings and elopements, and the listed work destinations include Seattle, the Olympic Peninsula, the North Cascades, Mt. Rainier, Portland, Coeur d'Alene, Glacier, Whidbey Island, the San Juan Islands, Boise, Orlando and Tampa, with international travel possible. Bookings are accepted only when there is time to give each one full attention.

In Renton, the in-salon menu covers custom cuts, dimensional color, lived-in blondes and corrective color. Corrective color suits drastic color changes and repairs to color mistakes made at home, and it requires a free consultation before booking.

The philosophy centers on trust and on taking the worry out of hair before the wedding day. Looks are designed to photograph well and hold up through the day, with the client's own vision leading each one.
