Wedding Hair and Makeup
She was professional, very kind, and knowledgeable about her work. She wanted to make sure we loved our look, and verified every step of the way if what she did is what we wanted.
My hair held up through all the dancing I did! My makeup also looked great the whole night.
Definitely recommend a hair trial as it makes the wedding day so much more smooth.
The Best Energy You Could Ask for on Your Wedding Day- Thank you, Carrie! 🥰
She even drove all the way from Phoenix to Sedona and back just to do my hair and makeup, which meant so much to me.
She nailed exactly what I wanted…which was natural, glowy makeup that made me feel like the best version of myself. Everything held up beautifully all day, and I loved how I looked. My “now” husband❤️ could not take his eyes off of me, he said I was breathtaking. 💕I haven’t even seen all of our photos yet, but from the sneak peeks our I photographer showed us. I looked amazing! 🥰
Her energy really stands out. We had great conversations and so many laughs, she is truly a vibe! She’s so positive and uplifting, and you can tell how genuine and passionate she is about what she does.
She even encouraged us to wear our wedding outfits to dinner after our ceremony to celebrate, and we ended up being anonymously gifted $200 from a very kind soul. 🙏🏼 That moment alone says so much about her mindset and the kind of experience she creates.
I’d recommend Carrie without any hesitation!
Thank you so much, Carrie! ❤️🥰
Highly recommend!
