    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!

    Amazing Hair and Makeup!

    Allie was absolutely incredible! Not only did we have so much fun with her, but she also created the most perfect wedding looks for not only myself, but for my bridesmaids and mother-in-law. My makeup was exactly how I would have imagined it. Effortless and elegant. I also, at the last minute, decided to do my hair another way and she did an incredible job. Not only did my hair stay all night long, so did my makeup! I woke up the next day with literally the same exact look. Do not hesitant to hire Paperdolls for your wedding hair and makeup. You won't be disappointed!!

    Amazing hair and makeup!

    Paper Dolls did an amazing job with hair and makeup for my wedding day! They were organized, on-time, and everyone looked stunning! My hair and makeup still looked flawless at the end of my wedding night. Highly recommend.

    Fantastic Hair and Make-up

    Shayla and her team were fantastic to work with! We had hair and make-up done on all the girls in the wedding including MOB and MOG. Everyone loved the final results and Shayla was very efficient. Both hair and make-up lasted through the end of the night. As someone who almost never wears make-up, I appreciated that I still looked like me.

    Amazing and talented team!

    Shayla and Allie were such a fantastic team to work with. All of the bridesmaids and moms were incredibly happy with their hair and makeup. They were flexible and very efficient during what can be a stressful day; they helped put me at ease and start the day off right. Everyones hair and make-up lasted through the end of the night, which was an amazing feat. Can't thank you ladies enough!

    Fairytale Wedding!

    I am so happy I found Paper Dolls! The entire process from start to finish was such a breeze! Carrie and her assistant did an incredible job on my bridesmaids and me. They were prompt, professional, and very courteous. I felt like they took into consideration what my bridesmaids wanted, and they made it happen! They had to work on 7 people in my bridal suite, and they ended up finishing early on us! Mind you, several of my bridesmaids had really long hair! I told Carrie what I wanted to do with my hair, I showed her makeup and hair inspirations, and dang if she didn't almost make me look like the picture! I never had to adjust or ask for any modifications, I thought everything was perfect just the way she did it. Although, if I did have any suggestions, she was eager to hear them and she definitely made sure that I was happy with the finished look. I heard how beautiful I was over a hundred times it felt, although, I could never get tired of hearing that! ;) Thank you for making me feel so gorgeous on my wedding day! I would highly recommend Paper Dolls for all of your makeup needs.

    Wedding Hair and Makeup

    Carrie and her team are truly the best! I booked Paper Dolls upon a recommendation from my planner for my Old Wide Awake wedding on 11/7/20, and I am so thankful I did. All of my bridesmaids were raving about how talented and efficient Carrie and her team were. I did not have time to do a trial for my wedding hair or makeup, but Carrie took a photo that I showed her and made me feel truly beautiful and bridal! They were prompt, skilled, kind, and I would hire them again for sure.

    They were incredible!

    I was so happy with my choice of Paperdolls for my wedding hair and makeup! Shayla is very responsive and her team was so fun! I did a trial with Allie and she did an amazing job with my hair! It stayed all day long. Day of, the girls arrived to our getting ready spot early, and they earned their 5 star review! All my bridesmaids looked beautiful. The Paperdolls team were efficient, excellent, and so much fun to hangout with! They made sure each girl felt beautiful - the hair was natural yet elegant, and the makeup accentuated each girls' natural beauty. I would chose them over and over again!

    Highly Recommended

    My daughter and her bridesmaids were very happy with Paper Dolls. Due to COVID, my daughter was unable to have a hair and makeup trial prior to her wedding day. She chose Paper Dolls based on pictures of previous clients and I agreed to sign the contract based on their transparent pricing structure.

    Carrie and Kelly came to our location and managed to stay on schedule while providing hair and makeup for eleven women. They were very professional and pleasant to have around during the pre-wedding festivities.

    I highly recommend Paper Dolls for your wedding day hair and makeup.

    Our HMU Dream Team!

    Carrie and team did a FANTASTIC job on my bridal and bridesmaids' hair and makeup for our wedding. Everyone looked natural but gorgeous. Due to a medical issue, the makeup artist who I had done my trial with was unable to make our wedding day. Since we were not local to Charleston and unable to do a 2nd trial, Carrie herself went above and beyond to come to do my makeup after another wedding she'd already had booked. It looked even better than the inspiration photos I showed her. 100% perfect. Kelly did the bridesmaids' makeup and they all looked amazing. Kristin did our hair and did a wonderful job. All the ladies were on time, responsive, extremely friendly and we had a blast getting ready with this team.

    Excellent! 100% recommend!

    I'm so glad I hired Paper Dolls for my wedding hair/make-up. Carrie did mine and I could not have been happier. From our first emails back and forth, she was extremely responsive and professional. At our trial, she did not finish until we got the exact look I was going for. She kept showing me my make-up and made small adjustments as we went. I was always so nervous how my look would turn out all put together on my big day but it was 100% what I envisioned. I truly felt gorgeous. You can tell she is extremely experienced and confident in her skills, and the end product shows! The airbrush make-up lasted all evening and I got SO many compliments! My bridesmaids that got hair and make-up all looked amazing as well. Seriously hire Carrie, you will not regret it.

    Great to work with; I felt stunning.

    Carrie and her team at Paper Dolls was so great to work with. Although my initial hair and makeup trial had to be rescheduled, Carrie made it happen, and on the day of she and her team made everyone look absolutely stunning. We did cover the tips for everyone who had their look done, so I ended up spending a bit more than I would've otherwise, but it was worth it. I would hire her again!

    PERFECT Bridal Hair and Makeup!!!!

    My wedding was 8/24/19 and finally I am just getting around to writing reviews! It is important to me to call out what amazing work Paper Dolls does for brides and bridal parties! I absolutely loved my wedding hair and makeup, done by Carrie who helped work with me to get my look just as I envisioned! Paper Dolls was amazing and so patient with each of the girls in the group. Everyone looked so beautiful, and natural! The makeup and hair crew worked efficiently to get through all of us (there were 10 bridesmaids!!), plus both mothers, and myself. Everyone looked so fabulous and I could not be more grateful for such a hardworking crew! I would highly recommend them!!!

    Amazing! Glowing!

    Carrie and her team are AMAZING at Paper Dolls and I (and all the girls) cannot recommend her enough! I felt beautiful, yet natural, and had a glow all night long. Both mothers and bridal party were also beyond happy with their hair and makeup. I loved working with her from day one and cannot rave enough about Paper Dolls!!!

    The absolute best

    Carrie and her team did hair and makeup for me, my bridesmaids, my mother and the mother of the groom and I can’t say enough good things about Paper Dolls! Carrie was so responsive via email and flexible in accommodating last minute changes. She listened to exactly what I was looking for and took detailed notes during the trial to make sure my wedding day look was perfect. She also did my makeup and hair for my engagement photos which lasted through hours of July heat in Charleston and looked great. Thank you Carrie!!

    Beautiful wedding hair and make up

    I would highly recommend any bride to get their hair and make up done by Paper Dolls! They are so easy to work with and extremely flexible. Carrie, the owner, is so friendly and amazing at spray tans!! She did my spray tan for the wedding, and it looked great! Kristin did my hair and make up, and she made me feel absolutely gorgeous. She listens to any question or critique and is so friendly. She offered great suggestions, and was so patient as I looked over my hair and make up to make sure I liked every detail, which I absolutely loved every detail! Kristin and Beth did hair and make up for the bridal party, and MOB and MOG, everyone was so happy and we all loved working with them! I am so so so happy I chose Paper Dolls for my wedding day!

    Masters of Hair & Makeup

    I knew from my initial call with Carrie, that Paper Dolls Wedding Hair & Makeup was the perfect fit. And I was right. Carrie did my hair and makeup for both my rehearsal dinner and wedding. I always get nervous to get my hair and makeup done because I don't really deviate from my normal routine often, but Carrie immediately put me at ease. She is a true professional and helped me pinpoint what I wanted (I barely even had pictures to provide direction) and proceeded to absolutely nail it. Not to mention, she's just an awesome person. The time I spent getting ready flew by because we just chit-chatted the entire time. I had a massive bridal party and she and her team handled it like the pros they are. They got everyone's hair and makeup done within the allocated time (me, 9 bridesmaids, mom, mother in law and flower girl!). Even with some serious rain and dancing on our big day, my makeup was somehow fully intact even the next day (I didn't want to wash it off ha!). A big thank you to Carrie and her team! I would highly recommend Paper Dolls to anyone!

    AMAZING - 10/10 Would Recommend to EVERYONE

    Shayla and her team were the most incredible choice for hair and makeup for my wedding. I have never felt more beautiful - Shayla made everyone feel like a goddess and it honestly felt like she was just meant to be there with us that day. She's the best hype girl you could ask for, and is insanely talented hair and makeup artist. I would recommend Paper Dolls to anyone looking for hair and makeup in Charleston. Thank you Shayla for literally everything!
