Carina went above & beyond her hired services. I was that bride who couldn't make up my mind for the life of me on hair and makeup... but Carina just went with it so smoothly. I changed my mind not once, but TWICE on hair & makeup, and Carina made sure to get everything right, so that there would be no unfulfilled needs on wedding day for my look. For that, I'm incredibly grateful.

Before our first trial, we had a phone call where I got to tell Carina my vision for my wedding day. And then I sent her photos of hair and makeup for inspiration. Pro tip: for all the women who don't normally wear makeup on the daily... do a lot of browsing and get familiar with what you're looking for before you show up for your trial!
At Carina's studio, it was just the two of us, and Carina spent the time she needed to understand the exact look I was going for. Another pro tip: Ask questions if you need to! She's very accommodating in helping you understand things like, what the difference is between air brush vs. powder, etc. At the end of the trial, she took notes and pictures of me so that she could replicate that look on my wedding day.

On wedding day, her team made my mom, best friend, and I feel so special and beautiful! They came to us fully prepared for any low lighting (like my get-ready spot at the venue!) and with a great attitude overall. And the cherry on top: I got a little emergency to-go kit filled with makeup and other travel sized touch up things.

Would definitely recommend Carina and her team!

This team ended up being the rockstars I needed for my wedding. Powers Beauty did the hair and make up for myself, my bridal party, the mothers of the couple and my flower grandma. Everyone looked absolutely stunning! And I felt like a dragon queen, straight out of a game of thrones episode (see pics). I didn’t have any specifics as far as hairstyles and make-up so the Powers team was able to adapt their style to everyone’s preferences. Their studio is also very accessible - my wedding venue and hotel were all within a five min walk of the studio which made it super convenient if you’re getting married in Monterey! Thanks again ladies, I appreciate you ❤️

Carina and her talented team at Powers Beauty Artistry worked their magic and made everyone including the men look absolutely stunning and off the charts beautiful! We all loved our hair and makeup and received many compliments on the styles and professionalism. I would highly recommend Powers Beauty Artistry for weddings and any other special occasion. Give them the highest number os stars!! They're a winner!!

Carina does such a beautiful job. She listened to every detail of what I described my dream wedding make up to be. Even when I changed my mind and decided to go in a completely different direction. Carina was super patient with me and had no problem with a "re-trial." All of my bridesmaids looked amazing and my mother and mother in law looked so glamorous. So happy we went with Carina Powers Beauty.

I absolutely recommend Carina and her team for wedding make-up and hair! I love the style and my bridal team looked stunning too. The process was easy and Carina was so fun to work with!

Carina and team did our hair and makeup for my wedding day in August in Monterey and I cannot speak highly enough of her. She and her team made my bridesmaids, flower girl, and mom look flawless and I’ve never felt more beautiful than that day. We did a trial run ahead of the day which was so helpful since I wasn’t really sure how to describe the look I was going for and with a few tweaks, she completely nailed it. She gave me a touch up kit as well, although I barely needed it.

She and team were also reasonably priced, flexible, and efficient in getting us all ready, not to mention had a fire playlist to set the mood!!

Thank you so so much, Carina, for helping me put my best face forward on my wedding day!!! :D

Carina was so helpful on my wedding day. With a lot of commotion going on the day of, she was such a pleasure to be around and had such a positive attitude. I loved the way I looked and was so happy with how it all turned out. She was able to do just what I had wanted!

Carina powers did my wedding makeup and my makeup lasted all day and it looked so nice. I loved her work and I highly recommend her.

Carina and her team helped to make my wedding day AMAZING by providing such a great beauty experience. She truly made me and my bridesmaids feel like queens. Super nice and friendly from the trial to the morning of our wedding. Thank you for your amazing work!

Carina Powers is the QUEEN of hair and makeup. From the beginning, she was responsive, kind, professional, and affordable. She was also supportive and flexible through my many Covid-19 changes in my wedding. She performed makeup and hair on both my mother and I on my wedding day, to which she showed up early, and immediately began to set up her station. Conversing with her eased my pre-wedding nerves with her fun personality. She uses high quality makeup, and my look lasted the whole day and night. My "delicate" looking hairstyle never budged and held onto my heavy cathedral veil in high winds on the beach. She delivered exactly what we asked for in a timely manner, and went above and beyond with her immense talent. My mother and I felt so beautiful!
