About
Brides and grooms come to me for my light handed glamorous looks. Many of my clients are not looking for transformations but rather an enhancement of their own beauty.
I’m a DC-based hairstylist and makeup artist. A mixed chick born the year of the dog with a cancer sign and I love animals! I am an expert at consultations. I love to problem solve and offer solutions. I have a lot of experience working in the fashion industry and television, but nowadays, I focus on weddings and special events. I work with all hair textures and skin tones. Fill out the form on my website for the fastest service.

The BEST Wedding Choice
Amazing People!!
Calm, composed, knowledgeable, absolute angle
I am someone who has no idea what I want, and Carla took that and delivered me everything I've ever wanted. For my wedding, I had Carla contract to do my hair and makeup, hair and makeup for one of my bridesmaids, just makeup for my other two bridesmaids, and the hair and makeup for my mom. And the consensus from everyone was that Carla is a unicorn and is the absolute best. At first, none of us really knew what we wanted to do for bridesmaid makeup, but after just taking a simple look at the theme and everyone's dresses (they were plum), she thought to do a smokier purple makeup. And my goodness, everyone looked BEAUTIFUL.
The vibes were off the chart, chill, fun, relaxing, etc. All the right energy for a very otherwise anxiety-filled day. She's calm, she's punctual, she's knowledgeable. She put up my very quick look change and absolutely DELIVERED. And the look stayed on THE WHOLE DAY. As someone who sweats like no tomorrow and had a summer wedding, that was crucial because the later pictures turned out amazing.
Thank you, thank you, Carla, for an amazing day and experience. I wouldn't want it any other way.
Stellar Hair and Makeup!
Her skill is unmatched—my hair and makeup were flawless, lasted the entire day, and looked incredible in photos. Additionally, her makeup artists were equally skilled, ensuring that my bridesmaids, my mom, and the best woman looked just as flawless. But what truly stood out was her warmth and attentiveness. She anticipated what I needed before I even had to ask, and her presence made me feel completely at ease.
I couldn’t imagine my wedding morning without Carla. If you want someone who will not only make you look amazing but also make you feel amazing, I can’t recommend Carla Pressley's company highly enough. Thank you again for making my special day all the more memorable!
Bringing Out the Best in Our Wedding Party
Cara and Josh wedding
Exceeded all expectations!
On the day of the wedding, Carla and Naz not only made my entire wedding party feel stunning, but also went above and beyond to ensure we were well taken care of. She walked around with the wedding party while we were taking photos, helping to carry my train, doing touch-ups, and making sure everything was perfect. Her attention to detail was amazing, and it felt like she was there for us in every moment. My mom and sister couldn’t stop talking about how much they loved her. If you're looking for a hair and makeup artist who is not only talented but also genuinely caring and dedicated to making your day smooth and beautiful, Carla is your person!
