I couldn’t of asked for a better hair/makeup artist on my special day. Carla was so kind and accommodating from the very beginning. I got married 5.5 hours away from where I live, in a small town, and was having a really hard time finding someone that would travel to my venue to do hair and makeup. Carla not only offered to make the 2 hour trip to provide her services but also opened up her schedule just for my wedding day (it was a Tuesday so very random). When i first met her during my trial appointment I knew I had made the right decision. My sister and I had such a great time just talking and getting to know her. She was very attentive, asked what my preferences were, gave great input, and made sure i was happy! She absolutely exceeded my expectations on the hairstyle and did a fabulous job on my makeup as well. On the day of the wedding, she showed up right on time and came extremely prepared. Everyone’s makeup/hair came out beautifully, including mine (but i already knew it would lol). She did a total of 6 services including mine and her quality was never sacrificed despite how long of a day it probably was for her. (this girl has energy!!💪) When I started to get stressed out because i was running behind on time getting my dress and accessories on to head downstairs for the ceremony she stuck around and continued to help me get ready even though she had finished my hair & makeup. Carla took it as far as waiting until i got downstairs to get in position to walk down the aisle to put my veil in for me. Not to mention, i got married in the rain and my hair and makeup held up way better than i expected!! If you’re looking for a makeup/hair artist that will go above and beyond to make sure you’re happy and taken care of, Carla is your girl!!🙌

If you need hair and make up for your wedding or event Carla is your girl. I have never looked and felt so beautiful. She listened to me and gave her input which made me look even more beautiful. I have sewn in extensions as well as some fusion ones and she did her magic and I looked gorgeous. I highly recommend her to make you look beautiful.

Carla was such a kind, talented, and professional wedding vendor, both on my wedding day and leading up to it. Our wedding was on 11/8/24 and I did a trial at Carla's house in September. She is a really calming presence and was great at encouraging me to react to different things and provide feedback so she made sure I was getting exactly what I wanted. I also had concerns about using specific products with my sensitive skin and she made sure to address and accommodate my concerns. Carla also had an additional makeup artist and hairstylist to accommodate hair and makeup for myself, MOB, MOG, and 4 bridesmaids. They were all early to the bridal suite, super friendly, and efficient. I would 100% recommend Carla and her team if you want to feel so beautiful on your wedding day and have a really wonderful, low-stress getting ready time!
