Bringing Back the 80’s - Rock and Roll Style

We highly recommend Carrie for your wedding or any special occasion. She perfectly brought together a vision for hair and makeup that fit our 80’s rock and roll theme while still being stylish and sophisticated. And she was so excited to do it! Carrie’s talent is evident in her huge body of work, but it’s her professionalism, range and excellent personality that make her the best choice for your day!

Carrie is the best! She is so professional, so flexible, and SO SO talented! I show people my hair on my wedding day and people literally gasp. We had a hair trial a few weeks before and I was pleased with it then, but day of, I decided I wanted it more up than I originally thought, and without missing a beat, Carrie made my hair do things I didn't know it could do! It was literally the most perfect hair I could have asked for.

Carrie made my friends and mom feel so comfortable. She really listened to what they had to say about different things they wanted. Everyone was 100% satisfied! She is calm, cool and collected even during busy times (aka a wedding day) and having her there for the morning of my wedding made my day that much better.

We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
