Amazing! The best!

Carla was truly amazing! From the trial to the wedding day, she really listened to everything I wanted and made me feel so comfortable. On the day of, she was super punctual, and so were her assistants. All my bridesmaids looked gorgeous and were so happy with their hair and makeup. Even with a little rain, my makeup stayed flawless and my hair didn’t move at all—it looked just as good at the end of the night as it did in the morning. She’s so sweet and talented, and I’m definitely going to her for all my future events. Loved her!

Incredible wedding hair and makeup artist

Carla worked true magic with both the hair and makeup for my wedding day, and I could not be happier with the service provided. From incredible flexibility when we had a last minute location/timing change, to keeping the wedding day vibes fun and calm for the wedding party, I couldn't have asked for anything better. I previously did a makeup trial with Carla, which I definitely recommend, as it helped us pinpoint the perfect look for the big day. When wedding day came, Carla did hair and makeup for myself and members of the wedding party, and everyone was so happy with the job done. All day long I couldn't stop staring at photos of my hair, in particular - it was so ethereal and stunning! The hair and makeup lasted the entire wedding and left no irritation afterwards. Carla is a must-book for your wedding or event.

Want to feel like a queen on your wedding day?!

I am so happy I came across Carla as my stylist—I felt like a QUEEN on my wedding day! OMG, my hair and makeup was absolutely stunning!

During my makeup trial, Carla was incredibly knowledgeable and patient as I figured out the look I wanted. I decided on a medium soft glam since I was worried about having too much makeup and not looking recognizable to my spouse—lol! Carla did an amazing job, and my makeup looked flawless in photos.

On the wedding day, she and her glam team were fantastic with timing. I was a bit worried since we had seven bridesmaids plus my mother, but they worked so efficiently that I never had to stress about it. And my bridesmaids all looked gorgeous!

If you're looking for a wedding stylist who can do both hair and makeup, Carla is your girl! 10/10 recommend—you won’t regret it!

Kind, talented, and professional hair and makeup artist!

Carla was such a kind, talented, and professional wedding vendor, both on my wedding day and leading up to it. Our wedding was on 11/8/24 and I did a trial at Carla's house in September. She is a really calming presence and was great at encouraging me to react to different things and provide feedback so she made sure I was getting exactly what I wanted. I also had concerns about using specific products with my sensitive skin and she made sure to address and accommodate my concerns.

Carla also had an additional makeup artist and hairstylist to accommodate hair and makeup for myself, MOB, MOG, and 4 bridesmaids. They were all early to the bridal suite, super friendly, and efficient. I would 100% recommend Carla and her team if you want to feel so beautiful on your wedding day and have a really wonderful, low-stress getting ready time!

Bride hair and make up, Best friend hair and make up, Matron if Honor hair

If you need hair and make up for your wedding or event Carla is your girl. I have never looked and felt so beautiful. She listened to me and gave her input which made me look even more beautiful. I have sewn in extensions as well as some fusion ones and she did her magic and I looked gorgeous. I highly recommend her to make you look beautiful. You will see me again Carla.

Carla is amazing!!

Carla and her team are absolutely amazing!!! I got married in March and Carla took such good care of me since the hair/makeup trial, answering all of my questions and the wedding day she goes above and beyond to make you feel confident and cared for! I felt sooo beautiful on my wedding day and even had last minute requests which she was more than willing to help me with without any hesitation. She is like family and she treats you that way. Her team was like magic getting all of my girls ready, I had a large wedding party (9 girls) not including MOB, MOG and flower girls. All the artists were professional, kind, were able to accentuate each persons natural beauty and looked so beautiful while still looking themselves which I believe is so rare to find.

Bride, Bridesmaids, and Mother of the Bride Hair + Makeup

Carla was responsive and professional from the start. She took her time at my bridal hair and makeup trial and checked in at multiple points to ensure that she was on the right track for the look I was going for. On the day of, Carla arrived a few minutes early and got set up to do my bridesmaids' hair. Each bridesmaid requested a slightly different look and Carla made recommendations based on their hair types. Carla's assistant, Marcella, arrived right on schedule and set up to do the bridesmaids' and mother of the bride's makeup. Again, everyone requested a different look and Marcella delivered on each one. Everyone was so happy with how they looked. Carla did both my hair and makeup. She did an incredible job and made me look even better than she did at the trial. Additionally, Carla and Marcella fit into the vibe of the getting ready suite perfectly- everyone was calm and at ease. I only wish that I had more formal events to attend so that I could hire Carla again.
