ABOUT US

Kaleigh Caver has always been passionate about creating stunning hairstyles and flawless faces. For years, she used every single one of her vacation days to begin her own special event styling business. When her hair and makeup empire began to grow beyond the limitations of her 9-5 job, however, she knew it was time for a change—she just didn’t expect that change to come the way it did. While styling for a photoshoot, a model happened to mention to Kaleigh that she also worked as an airline stewardess.

 

“She shared all of the benefits of working for an airline,” says Kaleigh, “and I thought, ‘Why am I stuck at a desk?’”

 

Soon after, Kaleigh “flew the cube” and started training to become a certified stewardess with a major airline. And voila! The Styling Stewardess officially launched.

 

“Being a stewardess went hand-in-hand with my hair and makeup business,” shares Kaleigh of the company’s beginnings. Although she left her career as a stewardess in the spring of 2016 to focus on her hair and makeup business full time, “The Styling Stewardess” brand is here to stay. “I was constantly exposed to new locations while flying, which helped grow the destination event aspect of my business. I love that we’re now known as a go-to styling team in Dallas and for events that require travel!”

 

Since the launch of The Styling Stewardess, Kaleigh and crew have styled countless brides, wedding party members, models, Miss Texas and Miss Texas’ Outstanding Teen contestants, and other fabulous clients. Although based in Dallas, Texas, the team has traveled as far as Maui, Hawaii, La Jolla, California, San Miguel, Mexico, and Jaco, Costa Rica to achieve the perfect look for their clients. They look forward to stamping their passports with many more event destinations in the future!

KALEIGH

Founder/CEO, Manager

Lead Hair & Makeup Stylist

DREAM WEDDING LOCALE: I'm excited about the possibility of working a Greek wedding! I love learning about the traditions associated with weddings in different cultures. There's also still so much to see and explore in my own backyard here in Dallas when it comes to weddings—I love stumbling upon locations I hadn't previously known about. They can be just as meaningful and beautiful as Greece!

 

IF I COULD STYLE ANY CELEBRITY: I would love to style Miranda Kerr. She has such striking features and can pull off any look as a model, from super sultry to girl-next-door. Also Jessica Simpson, because she's my celebrity idol!

 

INSPIRED BY: Avant-garde fashion. I love taking challenging high fashion looks that are unique and different and turning them into something that's more mainstream and wearable.

 

IF I'M NOT STYLING, I'M: Spending time with my husband—we’ve remodeled most of our home together, and have designed and built several custom furniture pieces together as well—loving on my dogs, or working out. Although it's not something I get to do regularly, I love to dance. It's an amazing workout, so I dance in my downtime!

MIA

Marketing Manager

Lead Hair & Makeup Stylist

Dance has always played an important role in Mia’s life, so it makes sense that her career as a pro dancer served as her entry point into the world of pro styling! “I first began working with hair and makeup during my years as a Dallas Cowboys Cheerleader,” shares Mia. “I learned a lot from the makeup artists during photo shoots and by practicing on myself to prepare for game days and appearances. I learned not only how to do makeup, but how to do makeup that lasts!” Although she does more highlighting than high kicks these days, Mia continues to coach other women to achieve their Pro dance dreams when she’s not working a wedding or event. Outside of these commitments, you’ll find her spending time with her husband and precious baby girls, exploring her city and beyond with her friends and family, and putting extra miles on her running shoes—she’s already completed several half marathons, with ambitions to finish a full!  

 

DREAM WEDDING LOCALE:  Greece or Paris!

 

IF I COULD STYLE ANY CELEBRITY:  I would love to style any of the Victoria’s Secret models! I love the diversity among the women and the bronzed, glowing and glamorous style of their look!

 

STYLING SPECIALTY: I think everyone has such gorgeous eyes and it is so much fun for me to play up each unique eye with shadow and lashes. When it comes to hair, big voluminous curls from pin curling are my favorite.

HOLLY

Lead Hair & Makeup Stylist

A dance and performance background gave Holly the chance to hone her hair and makeup skills for the stage—a talent she now applies to Styling Stewardess clients preparing to step into the spotlight at their own wedding or special event. “Growing up as a dancer and having three sisters, there was always a recital, competition, or school dance in our house!” says Holly. “I have always been a go-to person for friends and family for beauty advice and love to experiment with new beauty products and trends.” As a Styling Stewardess crew member, Holly has become a go-to for clients craving tousled beach waves or perfectly-applied highlighter. After wrapping a wedding or event, she’s most likely to be found spending time with family and friends, shopping, dancing, or adding a few extra stamps to her passport while traveling.

When it comes to hair, Sharon loves adding volume and texture to classic hair styles, and never tires of accentuating her clients’ eyes with subtle and dramatic makeup applications alike. Since Sharon loves crafting delicious meals and discovering new restaurants, it’s no surprise that her dream client is celebrity chef Giada De Laurentiis. When she’s not busy creating the perfect look for a special event, the mom of four can be found enjoying time with her family and being YaYa-Lollie to her five amazing grandchildren.

 

BEAUTY TREND I LOVE: Hair extensions to add length, volume, texture, and color.

 

IF I'M NOT STYLING, I'M: Enjoying the simple things in life, like being a steward of my family, creating and cooking meals, going out to discover new ethnic food restaurants, and sitting on my brother’s back porch enjoying early morning coffee with my father.

After putting her styling skills to the test as member of her high school drill team, Monica continued to learn new techniques from popular YouTube beauty gurus before going pro herself. As the owner of two pups named Kimmy and Khloe, it’s no surprise that Monica’s dream client is none other than Kim Kardashian. When she isn’t styling or doing makeup, Monica is most likely to be found spending time with her daughter, boyfriend, and her favorite Kardashians…her miniature poodles! 

 

DREAM WEDDING LOCALE: The Maldives is my personal dream wedding destination, but I’d love to style an event in Paris, France.

Having danced with the DCC organization for six seasons, dancing continues to be one of Jenna’s passions.

ALLISON

Makeup Stylist

Allison has been styling professionally for several years now, but her fascination with hair and makeup dates back much further than that. “I’ve loved makeup as far back as I can remember. ​I would run home from school and slap on my mom’s red lipstick and just stare at my lips in the mirror,” Allison says. As she got older, beauty gurus on YouTube became a go-to source of inspiration that helped turn her passion into a profession. Emphasizing eye color and giving skin a fresh, dewy appearance are some of Allison’s ​preferred ​makeup techniques. In addition to spending time with her young daughter and family, Allison ​​enjoys shopping, discovering new restaurants (particularly if they’re dishing up Italian food), and enjoying a good movie​ at home​ during her free time.

Nearly a week later, she enrolled at the Salon Professional Academy. She now has seven years of professional styling experience under her belt and counting!

There’s nothing her family loves more than traveling together and having cozy movie nights with their puppy, Oreo.
