Highly recommended

They made the process so easy. The Bride and her Bridesmaids looked amazing. Steff really took the time to understand each of the lady’s ideas and preferences. Then she made it happen!!! Staff are professional, responsive and flexible. We loved everything about interacting with them. Thank you for everything! We would definitely recommend Paper Dolls hair and makeup.

Shayla's your girl!

I had the pleasure of working with Shayla for my bridal trial and wedding day. She is a gem and I am so happy I found her. She was very accommodating and communicative through the whole wedding planning process. She made me and all of my bridal party feel so beautiful. She nailed all of our hair and makeup on the first try and is such a joy to be around. My hair and makeup lasted well into the next day lol I never had to worry about any of it coming off. I highly recommend her to anyone!! Do yourself a favor and don't look anywhere else, Shayla is your girl!

Highly Recommend Paper Dolls!

Shayla and her team were the absolute BEST!! They made my entire bridal party look and feel their absolute best and made us all so comfortable and helped us have so much fun while doing it! Would truly recommend them to anyone. Shayla also went out of her way to move my engagement photo appointment when our photo session was moved because of rain. She is truly so kind and accommodating every step of the way!

So worth it!

I contacted Shayla for a handful of updos and makeup for a wedding we were attending in Charleston. I am SO happy we did! My makeup looked fantastic and my hair stayed all night and so did all the little flower girls! Would definitely recommend her and her team for any event you need to look your best! She was super easy to work with, friendly and got us all finished ahead of schedule. Thank you so much for the wonderful experience.

Loved Paper Dolls !!

Shayla and her team did a fantastic job on our wedding day and do really beautiful work!! She is so personable and easy to work with and her team is so efficient and talented. They kept the day going at the perfect pace and every one was ready in time without feeling rushed for photos etc. My mom has been a hair dresser for 40 years and told me after the wedding how impressed she was with their level of skill and efficiency! I was nervous to make a few changes since my trial but all Shayla needed was an inspo photo and she nailed it. I am so happy we chose Paper Dolls and would absolutely recommend them to any future brides

The Most Beautiful Hair and Makeup!

Shayla and her team are incredible! As someone who doesn't really wear makeup, Shayla was able to create a natural look that didn't seem over done and looked beautiful in photos. She also created the perfect hairstyle after looking at a few inspiration photos, and was flexible about making slight changes on my wedding day. My bridesmaids and I felt beautiful and our hair/makeup lasted all night (and into the next day!). Shayla was efficient, personable and fun. We loved chatting with her during my trials and on the day of, which made my wedding day more relaxed. I would not hesitate to recommend Shayla to any bride!

Book Paper Dolls!

Shayla is absolutely fantastic. From the day she did my makeup trial for my engagement photos, to the day she did my wedding makeup and hair—she is incredibly talented and knows how to make the whole process fun and stress-free. I was a little worried when looking for a makeup artist since I am of a different ethnicity and in the past I’ve had issues with my makeup being too light or looking artificial—but with Shayla, my makeup was flawless and natural like I wanted it. I couldn’t get over how good my hair and makeup looked on my wedding day and she made my mom, who never does anything for herself feel like a princess which made me so happy. I had several outfit changes and a very long day due to having 2 ceremonies for my wedding day and my makeup and hair stayed perfect. Shayla, you’re amazing! Don’t hesitate to book Paper Dolls!

Amazing Hair and Makeup!

Allie was absolutely incredible! Not only did we have so much fun with her, but she also created the most perfect wedding looks for not only myself, but for my bridesmaids and mother-in-law. My makeup was exactly how I would have imagined it. Effortless and elegant. I also, at the last minute, decided to do my hair another way and she did an incredible job. Not only did my hair stay all night long, so did my makeup! I woke up the next day with literally the same exact look. Do not hesitant to hire Paperdolls for your wedding hair and makeup. You won't be disappointed!!

If you want it done right and beautifully, then Paper Dolls is an absolute must for your hair and makeup. We love Carrie, and she does our (Wanda and Mell Bell's) hair and makeup for our big events. She has done most of our mellBella clients as well, and everyone has only great things to say about her and her work. She can work with all skin types/tones and hair too. It's rare to find someone who excels at both hair and makeup.

Ashley Brokop Photography Ashley Brokop Photography Wedding Photographers

Carrie is amazing. One of my FAVORITE hair pros. She comes highly recommended, and I personally recommend her to all my brides whether in the upstate or near the beach. She is so creative and fantastically talented. She has done the onsite hair for a ton of weddings (& bridal/engagement sessions) this year and I will continue to sing her praises. She can do more with a bobby pin...she will whip up the hair of your dreams so fast, all you have to do is remember your vows. Call her...yesterday!!!
