"CaraSue is a one of a kind sweetheart of a lady! On your special day, let her transform your look into one of splendor and beauty!"
"I worked with two different makeup artist in one weekend while shooting in Kansas City. Some of the models were used on both days, and the side-by-side comparison ended with a unanimous decision in favor of CaraSue Hall. After working with numerous makeup artist from around the Midwest I can honestly say she is the best! If there is anything I need within a few hundred miles I call her first! Very fun to work with, and her creativity is just amazing! "

I love Carasue, she was one of my favorite vendors! Before the wedding she was so easy to get ahold of and she always emailed me back right away to answer any questions I had. On the wedding day she arrived 15 minutes early to begin her set up so that time wouldn't be taken out of our make-up/hair time-lime, she was dressed up and looked so professional, she brought her own chairs and everything! I am so impressed with her and the business she has! She kept us on our timeline the whole morning, she was friendly and all my girls said they loved talking with her. Most importantly she kept me calm...I was pretty calm all morning...then it set in and kinda hit me. I was getting more nervous and she totally read me like a book, and she (above my bridesmaids and mom!) kept me calm. I'm totally thankful for that because I stayed calm the rest of the day and I think it was because she helped me out that morning. I felt SO beautiful on my wedding day thanks to CaraSue! I had a very tricky veil and she didn't blink an eye to get that in my hair. I had sooooooooooooo many compliments on my hair and make up! She also did half of my bridesmaids hair/make up and by the reception you could TOTALLY tell which girl had been done prefessionally and not. The other girls hair was messing up and they had to keep re-applying make up. It was so nice that we didnt have to keep hasseling with ourselves and could just dance and enjoy the evening. The other girls told me later they wished they would had booked CaraSue because they were jealous of how glam we looked and how long it lasted!

Oh, I have to mention this!! I had forgot my make up bag at my wedding venue, so I had no makeup with me for the next day. So I left my makeup on throughout the night. The next morning when we were checking out at the hotel the front desk lady asked me what make up I used! I still looked all dolled up! She love my colors and how it was all put together. I told her that it had been on over 24 hours and she was shocked! I'm sure she will be in contact with CaraSue! :)

I loved my experience working with her, she is such a sweet person and INCREDIBLE vendor! BOOK HER!! :)

CaraSue is awesome. She was on time, fully prepared for my wishy-washiness and best of all she made me look great for my big day. The thought of going to get my hair/makeup done and then traveling back to my wedding site was just too much to deal with - CaraSue came fully equipped with anything and everything that might be needed. Not to mention she is a blast to talk to - makes that time in the chair more enjoyable.
Book her girls - you wont be sorry :)

CaraSue is AWESOME! I just got married last month and CaraSue did my make-up as well as both the mother-of-the-bride, Mother-of-the-groom, as well as 4 of my bridesmaids. Everyone loved their make-up and looked absolutely stunning.

In addition, CaraSue takes the time to speak with you and find out your style and preferences. She is very professional and does fantastic work! I would HIGHLY recommend CaraSue for any of your wedding, modeling, photography, etc needs.

CaraSue was great to work with! She is easy to talk to and get along with. She was on time, and she knew what she was doing. My hair stayed up so well all night, and I loved it! She knows how to do make-up to look good on camera and with different people?s characteristics. I did want to sway some from what she thought would be best, and she handled it well. I sensed a little hesitation, but she still did what I wanted. When you book CaraSue, you don?t have to worry anymore. She will be there on time, and there will be no surprises. She is truly the best!

She was fantastic! So easy to coordinate and plan with. I showed her pictures of what I wanted for my hair on my wedding day and she did a great job of styling of my hair to match, yet make it unique for me and my hair type/texture! My makeup was perfect and didn't smudge or run through everything, and my hair stayed in place all day & dancing all night. I wholeheartedly recommend CaraSue!

Cara Sue was a pleasure to work with before, and on my big day! She completed hair and make up for myself, and hair for all of my bridesmaids. She also did make-up for the mothers and grandmothers. She was extremely flexible for my practice session as my schedule was not very flexable. She was on time, and followed through even when I changed what I wanted on the wedding day! Everyone looked fabulous, and she was great at keeping everything low stress!!!

From the moment I booked CaraSue, she was very responsive with excellent communcation and service. When I saw the completion of my make-up, I was overly surprised with how great it looked. I absolutely loved the natural look provided with my eyes making a great statement. CaraSue also did my bridesmaids and they all looked beautiful. My bridesmaids and my makeup was done in the morning. I had an afternoon wedding with an evening reception and the make-up lasted and looked fantastic throughout the whole day.

CaraSue and her assistant, Tiffany, were amazing. They were prompt, professional and fantastic. I was a little nervous because I live out of town and, therefore, did not have a chance/time to do a trial run before the actual wedding, but I needn't have worried! I've never received so many compliments before on both my hair and my make-up! I treated both my sister and mother to makeup, and they also looked fantastic! I would strongly recommend them in an INSTANT! Thank you, CaraSue!!

I booked CaraSue by sending the contract and the retainer fee six months before my wedding. Three months before my wedding she emails me that she can't do hair and makeup for my wedding anymore because her day was "taken up by another project away that she did not anticipate." What exactly is the point of a contract and retainer fee if you can take on another project and cancel?

CaraSue Hall, Professional Freelance Makeup and Hair Artist responded with the following comments:

Maya booked me for hair and makeup for her engagement photos and never got back to me. After I finally heard back from her her she told me that she was no longer needing my services for this and sorry for taking so long to get back to me. I had marked out this day on my schedule. She was not charged for the inconvenience for me. This was on short notice that she decided not to use my services. I did tell Maya that another project was taking me away that I did not anticipate, she is correct. She didn't state that she had changed her timing from the initial conversation. I did apologize when I let her know as well as offer to refer another hair/makeup artist to her and refunded her entire retainer as well as cancelled the contract. She did not dispute this and cashed the check. She was given 3 months notice. Service was not provided to her, she cashed her check, she was given referrals to other artists.

CaraSue was great. We sprung an extra makeup and hair job on her last minute (literally as she was doing other peoples hair) and it was no problem. She and her assistant were quick, the make up stayed in place all day. The day was very humid but the hair survived, with the exception of a few curls!
