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 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!

CaraSue did my hair and makeup for my wedding day. It was just the look I wanted. And just as promised- none of the makeup budged- through rain, sweat or tears. Something I really appreciate about her as well is that she is very sanitary with her products.
