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

I can't say enough wonderful things about Carla Pressley and her team! She was such a joy to work with from the trial to the day of the wedding. Carla and her team were professional, relaxed, and very kind. They made the morning of my wedding such a joy and stress-free. Everyone felt so beautiful! I had two different ceremonies on my wedding day and Carla did a perfect job changing my hair and touching up my makeup between ceremonies and for the reception. Her team is the best!!

Exceeded all expectations!

Carla Pressley was truly one of my favorite vendors for our wedding - I cannot recommend her enough! From the start, she was incredibly communicative and made sure she fully understood what I wanted for my hair and makeup. She was so kind, patient, and really listened to my ideas, delivering exactly what I envisioned.

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!

Highly Recommend!

Carla and her team did an amazing job! I was looking for hair and makeup that was not too glam and relatively natural. Carla nailed it. She was really helpful during the trial in playing around and figuring out what I wanted. On the day, she and her team were so professional, calm, and prepared. I highly recommend having her stay for touch-ups. She kept me looking good through hours of photos and events in the heat and humidity.
