Loved Paper Dolls !!

Shayla and her team did a fantastic job on our wedding day and do really beautiful work!! She is so personable and easy to work with and her team is so efficient and talented. They kept the day going at the perfect pace and every one was ready in time without feeling rushed for photos etc. My mom has been a hair dresser for 40 years and told me after the wedding how impressed she was with their level of skill and efficiency! I was nervous to make a few changes since my trial but all Shayla needed was an inspo photo and she nailed it. I am so happy we chose Paper Dolls and would absolutely recommend them to any future brides

The Most Beautiful Hair and Makeup!

Shayla and her team are incredible! As someone who doesn't really wear makeup, Shayla was able to create a natural look that didn't seem over done and looked beautiful in photos. She also created the perfect hairstyle after looking at a few inspiration photos, and was flexible about making slight changes on my wedding day. My bridesmaids and I felt beautiful and our hair/makeup lasted all night (and into the next day!). Shayla was efficient, personable and fun. We loved chatting with her during my trials and on the day of, which made my wedding day more relaxed. I would not hesitate to recommend Shayla to any bride!

Book Paper Dolls!

Shayla is absolutely fantastic. From the day she did my makeup trial for my engagement photos, to the day she did my wedding makeup and hair—she is incredibly talented and knows how to make the whole process fun and stress-free. I was a little worried when looking for a makeup artist since I am of a different ethnicity and in the past I’ve had issues with my makeup being too light or looking artificial—but with Shayla, my makeup was flawless and natural like I wanted it. I couldn’t get over how good my hair and makeup looked on my wedding day and she made my mom, who never does anything for herself feel like a princess which made me so happy. I had several outfit changes and a very long day due to having 2 ceremonies for my wedding day and my makeup and hair stayed perfect. Shayla, you’re amazing! Don’t hesitate to book Paper Dolls!

If you want it done right and beautifully, then Paper Dolls is an absolute must for your hair and makeup. We love Carrie, and she does our (Wanda and Mell Bell's) hair and makeup for our big events. She has done most of our mellBella clients as well, and everyone has only great things to say about her and her work. She can work with all skin types/tones and hair too. It's rare to find someone who excels at both hair and makeup.

Carrie is amazing. One of my FAVORITE hair pros. She comes highly recommended, and I personally recommend her to all my brides whether in the upstate or near the beach. She is so creative and fantastically talented. She has done the onsite hair for a ton of weddings (& bridal/engagement sessions) this year and I will continue to sing her praises. She can do more with a bobby pin...she will whip up the hair of your dreams so fast, all you have to do is remember your vows. Call her...yesterday!!!
