GORGEOUS Hair and Makeup!

If I could give Carrie and her team 1000 stars, I would!

I first met Carrie and her team when she did the hair and makeup for my best friends wedding. Everyone looked AMAZING, so it was a no brainer that I was going to go with Carrie and her team when it came time for my own wedding!

I was an anxious bride and Carrie was so wonderful in helping keep me calm with our timeline! She and her team showed up early for hair and makeup to make sure that we stayed within the timeline, everyone was professional, and fun to spend the day with!

I'm not kidding when I say that people came up to me and told me how gorgeous everyone's hair and makeup looked, including mine! Everyone looked GORGEOUS!

My hair and makeup was EXACTLY what I wanted, my mom, now mother in law, sisters, and the rest of my bridal party were all so happy with our hair and makeup!

Thank you to Carrie and Team for making mine and all of my favorite ladies wedding dreams come true!

Warmly,
Blair

Accommodating & Beautiful

We used Appease for hair and makeup services at our wedding and we couldn't have been happier with the results! Sandy was our hairstylist and she did wonderful on all of our different hairstyles. Visha was our makeup stylist and she was very accommodating to our requests. Overall, both our hair and makeup looked beautiful and I will definitely recommend this company to others!

Amazing work!!

Carrie from Appease, Inc. is an absolute gem! Her responsiveness leading up to the wedding was commendable, addressing all my questions promptly. Not only was she phenomenal on the wedding day, but the trial experience was also exceptional—she made me feel incredibly comfortable.

Carrie's flexibility and skill radiated through when I wanted to switch up my hairstyle on the wedding day. She effortlessly brought my vision to life, and her efficiency with everyone's hair was truly impressive. We all loved our hairstyles, and mine stayed flawless throughout the evening, even with hours on the dance floor.

A huge thank you to Carrie and Appease for their amazing work. I highly recommend them for their talent, professionalism, and the wonderful experience they provided.

Great Quality and Value

Carrie did my hair for my wedding day and it turned out perfectly! Even my photographer commented on how my hair stayed looking gorgeous all day/night. Carrie was great to work with from the start. At my trial she helped me decide between two hair styles based on my dress and wedding aesthetic. The prices are competitive and much more reasonable than some other vendors. Carrie also helped with the timeline/schedule for when people would be getting hair and make up.

One of my favorite vendors to work with!

Carrie with Appease is AMAZING! Right from the beginning she was very responsive and fun to work with. The "theme" of my wedding was glitter and she did not disappoint - she brought so many options for me to pick from. Me and my bridesmaids all looked AMAZING and I am still getting compliments on Carrie' work. I am in the wedding industry as well and will recommend Appease to all of my brides!

10/10 book with appease!

Appease customer service is fantastic! When Carrie got stuck all the way across the country due to a canceled flight the night before my wedding, she ensured that I had a hair artist and a make up artist for myself and my entire bridal party. We were extremely satisfied with the results of our hair by Susan and make up by Male! In my own research of other companies, I found Appease to be very affordable with discounts available depending on amount if services and early booking! Thank you Carrie, Susan, & Male for your AMAZING work! (Photos are of my makeup!)

Look No Further

Booking Appease for our wedding was one of the best things we did. Looking and feeling beautiful on one of the most special days of your life is priceless! Carrie is truly a master at her craft! She makes you fell so comfortable and treats you like family! My whole bridal party LOVED her and our makeup artist! We can't recommend this company enough, five stars does not do it justice!! If you are in the market for hair & makeup, do yourself a favor and book with Appease Inc!
