    Perfect Makeup from First Kiss to Last Dance

    Thank you to Karen and Karmel Design Team for making me look absolutely stunning on my wedding day! From the booking process to the pre-event communication, the make-up trial and the day of the event, Karen was extremely professional and very nice to work with. Fernanda provided makeup for my mom and my group of friends that got ready with me the morning of the wedding. She was early to arrive, extremely kind, very efficient and made everyone look beautiful! Karen did my makeup, and I still can’t get over how great it looked! We did a make-up trial a couple months prior to the wedding which allowed us to make a couple slight adjustments once the big day arrived. My makeup looked fresh from the minute it was applied until our private last dance at the end of the evening. I highly recommend booking Karmel Design Team for your wedding! Your makeup will look flawless and you will feel gorgeous from the first kiss to last dance. Thank you Karen and Fernanda!

    Karmel Design Team's reply:

    Staci!
    You’re the BEST!! Thank you so much for your sweet feedback! We wish you all the happiness!!

    Exceeded expectations!!!

    Karen and her beauty team were amazing to work with. Everytime I had a question or needed to change something she was beyond responsive and made sure i wasn't left unsure. When it came to the wedding day with hair and makeup, words can't even describe how wonderful the whole team was. They completely exceeded even what they did for my trial. Absolutely breath taking in every aspect.

    Hair and Make-Up Weathered the Intense Humidity at Outdoor Event

    Thrilled with my choice! Karen at KDTA was a joy to have around and the perfect artist to make me beautiful. I am over 50 and from out of state. My make-up looked great and weathered the sweltering humidity at the outdoor wedding and reception. My hair looked natural and remained in place, as well. My hair has a thin follicle and is straight, shoulder length, and layered. The up-do lasted without fail and looked amazing. Highly recommend!

    Amazing makeup artist and hair

    I recommend Karen and her team. The makeup artist was on time, professional and well equipped and supplied to cover any look. I was so happy with the honest advice given about not needing airbrushed makeup and loved love loved my final look on my wedding day. Great job!!

    Incredible Beauty Wizards with the perfect Vibe for your big day!

    I cannot say enough amazing things about this design team. These girls are wizards!!! I have never felt more beautiful, and I can genuinely say that each of the ten ladies they transformed felt exactly the same way. With all of the details to decide and things that must be "just-so", Karen took the stress out of feeling beautiful on my big day. She didn't chide me for not having more pictures or ideas, or for the scheduling mix-up (SO SORRY!!), she never made us feel rushed even though their were so many of us and we caused a late start.... They were SO professional, fun, and easy-going. It was like a super chill beauty assembly line! Karmel is the vibe you want on your day. Thank you so much ladies!!!

    Spectacular!!!

    Karen was amazing! From the moment I started getting in contact with her she was on top of everything! I did trials, one was for hair and makeup and the second was just hair. I asked to look natural but have a little more than just liner and mascara and she exceeded my expectations! I am EXTREMELY picky with my makeup and anyone touching my face but she was PERFECT! I felt so beautiful my wedding day! Thank you ❤

    Karen is amazing!

    Karen did my hair and makeup for my wedding on 10/20/19 and it came out 100 percent better then I had imagined it would. She made me look and feel like a bride! I did the airbrush makeup that lasted the whole day! I am so happy with how everything turned out. Karen did an amazing job and I highly recommend her and her team!

    Amazing work!

    Karen and her team were the perfect choice for my wedding! I’ve never had my makeup done before and I was beyond nervous about choosing an artist. I have a lot of knowledge about makeup but I knew I would be too nervous to do my makeup for my wedding - and I 100% cannot do hair. One look through her Instagram and I decided to go for a trial. I was between airbrush and traditional - Karen was able to do half of my face with traditional and half with airbrush. Taking that amount of time to make sure I was comfortable and not pushing either option really cemented my decision. I went with airbrush and I’m so happy with my choice. The morning of the wedding, Karen and Diana arrived at our hotel suite on time. I was nervous but their calm demeanor helped me relax. They were so sweet and really listened to all 6 of us about what we were looking for. They finished early and the best part was my hair - my hair never curls and Karen was able to get it perfect! It looked exactly how I had always imagined it would look on my wedding day and I am so grateful to her. I was adamant I wanted my hair down and I was worried no one would be able to get my hair veil to stay but Karen was able to! I’d recommend Karmel Design Team to anyone - I love looking at our photos!

    Best Glam Squad!!!

    Karmeldesignteam exceeded any expectations I had! The team was extremely professional and catered so well to me and my bridal party. I showed pictures of my vision and they were able to deliver more than I could have imagined! Other than the evident talent, the team was very personable and kept my anxieties at bay as we got ready. I cannot say enough great things about them! If you book them for your wedding or any special event, you will not be disappointed!!

    The best!!

    Karen is the best!! Karen listened to what I wanted for hair and makeup and she delivered exactly that! Karen is so sweet and professional, and even helped my mom and I relax and calm our nerves on the wedding morning. I could not imagine having had anyone else do my hair and makeup on the biggest day of my life. Thank you so much Karen!

    Stunning looks & efficient for large wedding parties

    Karen and her team of hair and make-up artists transformed me, my mom, mother-in-law, two flower girls and ten bridesmaids (yes, ten) into stunning princesses/models. That's basically the best way to describe how we looked when we were all done.

    Karen and her team are wizards at hair and make up styles but they are also efficient - with so many people needing to get ready, she and her team had a game plan and were able to complete all the hairstyles and makeup with time to spare before the start of photos.

    Honestly, check out their Instagram - that will show you all you need to see to know that you should hire the Karmel Design Team.

    amazing HMU

    Karen and Diana did such an amazing job for myself, my bridesmaids, mother, and mother-in-law. Everyone looked absolutely stunning. They were punctual, efficient, and even finished ahead of schedule- leaving plenty of time to relax. I initially had my trial with Karen and loved the look that was put together but had some small changes that I wanted to make the day of my wedding. Karen listened to EXACTLY what I wanted. I don't wear make up so I wanted to make sure I still looked like myself with a hint of glam and that's exactly what I got. I could not have asked for a better hair and make up team. Our hair and make up lasted throughout the entire night and we received SO many compliments. Thank you Karen and Diana for being so amazing.

    We recently did a styled shoot at Garden Villa and Kerrin from Karmel Design team was our make up artist. She was so sweet and did such a fabulous job on the model. Thank you Kerrin for going above and beyond. I would definitely recommend Karmel Design team to anyone.

    Karen is awesome and I don't think I could have picked a better HMUA for my wedding! I am a huge makeup fan, and probably could have done my makeup myself for my wedding, but I wanted to feel spoiled and Karen delivered! She is a master at airbrush and contoured and highlighted all the right places. I told her I wanted semi-smokey with glitter and she made my eyes look so beautiful! My chest gets SO red when I get anxious or nervous so she airbrushed my chest to help keep that to a minimum. She also did my hair better then I could have imagined, I was so afraid that my bun would get pulled out with my cathedral veil but she pinned it so well it lasted all night. She arrived early and finished early. She did a great job on everyone and is super nice, you will not be disappointed!

    I can't recommend Karen and Karmel Design Team enough! As a bride who rarely wears makeup and never does anything with her hair, I was really nervous about my hair and makeup for my wedding day. I wanted to look beautiful on my wedding day, but I also wanted to still look like myself. Karen found the perfect balance between makeup that was natural, but yet stepped up just the right amount to be glamorous enough for my wedding day. I felt so beautiful on my wedding day! I wanted a romantic updo that accentuated my natural curls, and Karen did an amazing job. Thank you so much! I couldn't have asked for anything more!

    She was great! I used her for makeup for my wedding and a photo shoot. She made me look amazing. I wish I could use her everyday for work! She was also very accommodating. I lost my voice the day of the wedding and couldn’t talk to her but she still made me look perfect without much guidance! Also, my wedding party all looked fabulous and we’re all different shades of brown. I was impressed.

    Amazing service and results!

    I can’t praise Karmel Design Team enough for the amazing service I received for me and my bridesmaids on my wedding day! Karen’s communication and fast responsiveness to my emails made everything less stressful, and as a bride, that’s super important! Her artist, Diana, assisted me with my trial and listened to all of my requests and had some great suggestions. I got so many compliments on my hair and make up that day! We tweaked my color a little bit for my day of, as I didn’t have my dress at the time of my trial, and I felt some other colors complimented my dress better. Karen assisted me on my wedding day and I had never felt more beautiful! My girls could not stop PRAISING how amazing their hair had turned out, and Diana assisted us as well since I had 6 bridesmaids. One of my bridesmaids, who got married a month prior, said she wish she knew about this place as she received a beautiful braid that looked like it came out of a Bridal magazine. Thank you so much Karen and Diana for making my wedding day and my girls look stunning with your talent! The pricing is so reasonable, and I will definitely refer them to any of my friends getting married in the future!

    Karen was recommended to me by my wedding photographers and I’m so happy she was available for my wedding! From my first inquiry I knew she was going to be awesome! She was very responsive and even asked for some photos to gave her an idea of my wedding inspiration. At my trial, she gave me a look that was flawless and timeless! The morning of my wedding Karen was right on time even a little early. Everyone looked amazing and they couldn’t believe how natural the airbrush looked! I was so calm all morning because I knew I was in such great hands. Our makeup looked great all night long with hardly a touchup. I can’t recommend Karen enough, she is so talented at her craft and you can tell she really loves what she does. If you’re thinking of booking Karen, act quick before she gets booked up!

    I recently hired Karmel Design Team for hair and makeup for my wedding last week. From beginning to end I was impressed! Karen and her team of artists were not only professional but made my day so easy. Before I even came out to do hair and makeup everything was set up and ready to go! Karen and the girls even had mimosas poured and ready for me and my family. Since I already had so much on my plate it was such a relief to just sit back and relax while she worked her magic. We already did a trial, which went off without a hitch and once she started I immediately was able to relax for the first time. When she was done it looked even better than I had imagined! We couldn't stop taking pics, it was beautiful! My hair and makeup stayed flawless ALL NIGHT! I really owe Karen and her team a huge thank you for making everyone so beautiful and picture perfect! I would recommend Karen and her team to anybody that wants that flawless glamour look for their wedding day :) so so so happy! Thank you girls!

    Karen was absolutely wonderful. She always responded very quickly to any questions I had. The day of the wedding she was right on time. My hair and makeup were gorgeous. I got compliments all night. And my makeup looked as great at the end of the night as it did when she first did it. I would definitely recommend her and Karmel Design to any bride.
