Katy albright

Katy Albright is a stylist and makeup artist at primp. salon in Charlotte, NC with 15 years of experience specializing in bridal hair and makeup, special occasion looks, and precision cutting. In 2013, she was named Makeup Artist of the Year at the North American Hairstyling Awards (NAHA) — a milestone that launched eight years in New York City working in film, editorial, and photoshoot production, with her work appearing in major publications and on New York Fashion Week runways. She has since returned to her hometown of Charlotte, bringing that editorial expertise back to the salon chair.

What Katy loves most is the transformation — making people feel beautiful and like the best version of themselves, while building genuine connections along the way. Her ideal client is someone ready for a change and looking to truly elevate their look. Outside the salon, Katy is raising her young son and caring for her horse, whom she has owned since she was a teenager.

Her favorite products include Kérastase Mousse Bouffant and Gloss Absolu Fizz Glaze Cream. Her top tip: use a gentle exfoliant twice a week and apply a scalp serum and hair oil overnight once a week for healthier, stronger hair.
