Gorgeous Work

Carissa styled my hair and members of my bridal party in December and she made everyone look and feel amazing! She crafted short and long styles that really brought out everyone's best selves. The best part is her personality and energy, so fun and genuine, which made getting ready even more of a memorable experience. Carissa and my makeup artist had to arrive super early in the morning but she made everything work, getting lots of hair styled in time and doing so with grace. Highly recommend Carissa and super grateful to her for how she made my day that much more special!

Carissa was great!!

Carissa was great!! I have short, thin, hair and somehow she made my dream of an updo come to life and it looked great. She was also super helpful in the planning process and responsive. She made the schedule for both her and the makeup team. She arrived early, and got us all done on time. My whole party loved her and loved their hair. After the wedding, I reached out to her to help my friend whose hair and makeup team bailed on her, and she was unavailable but went out of her way to quickly recommend several people and we were able to book someone from that list.

I'm so glad I snagged Carissa for my wedding.
