Kay Jones

Founder/ Makeup Artist


Hello!

I am Kay, the founder of Beyond The Knot Collective. My journey into the wedding beauty industry was driven by a personal passion for customer service and sales. I found my love for makeup when I began my modeling career in 2014. In 2016, I found my love for weddings. On July 11th, 2019, I decided to quit my 9-5. By February 2020 I started TKL and led the largest wedding hair and makeup team on the East Coast.

My strong belief is that true beauty artistry embraces everyone. I recognized a significant need for a wedding beauty service that genuinely catered to all complexions, all hair textures, and all forms of love, without compromise. This vision fueled me to create a team where inclusivity isn't just a buzzword, but the foundation of every service we provide.

For me, it's more than just applying makeup, styling hair and cutting hair, it's about connecting with each person and helping them feel their most authentic, confident self on one of the most important days of their lives. The joy and confidence reflected in our clients' eyes are my greatest reward. I'm incredibly proud of the safe, welcoming space we've built at Beyond The Knot, ensuring every individual and every couple feels genuinely celebrated and impeccably cared for.
