    Cari is a bride's dream! She did my hair and makeup on a very early weekday morning. (Thanks for getting up so early!) Before my wedding, she took the time to correspond with me about my look, and didn't try to talk me into anything I didn't want. She was punctual and professional. I wanted my makeup to look special, yet natural - and she did exactly that. I looked beautiful, but it didn't even look like I was very made up. Her rate includes lashes, which a lot of other people charge additional fees for. I wanted to wear my long hair down, and it stayed looking amazing even on such a hot day. I can't say enough good things about Cari - I wish I had more reasons to use her services!

    As a person who doesn't wear much make up in general, I was worried when I started looking for a make up artist for my wedding. After my first trial left me looking like the puppet Madame, I contacted Cari who came highly recommended. She was wonderful from beginning to end. She paid attention to what I knew I wanted, avoided what I didn't and was able to give me the the exact look I wanted.

    Cari was amazing to work with from my initial hair and makeup trial to the day of the wedding. She listened to my vision (which was not very specific) and turned it into something amazing. I loved how my hair and makeup turned out, both of which lasted through 3 hours of taking pictures outside in the middle of the summer in NYC, an outdoor ceremony, and another 4 hours at the reception.

    Incredible hair & makeup with a trustworthy & fun team!

    I was beyond impressed with the incredible hair and makeup done on me as a bridesmaid for my sister's wedding! I rarely do my hair and makeup so I wanted to ensure it was natural to highlight my assets and I can truly say, I was blown away with the results. Cari and her team provide a trustworthy and fun setting, allowing you to focus on the present moment with your bride, friends and family instead of worrying about whether you're in good hands or not. Everyone LOVED their services and cannot wait for an excuse to hire Cari again soon! Thank you so much!!!

    Cari made me look like a princess on my wedding day - I've never seen such fantastic makeup on anyone, let alone on myself ;) So many people gave me complements and the makeup stayed and lasted way into the night after excessive partying - pictures looked flawless still at 2 am!

    Cari was absolutely fantastic! Pleasure to deal with and absolutely brilliant at transforming 4 women into beautiful women, especially my bride. Very easy to deal with, understanding of what we wanted or should I say, understanding of how to make us amazing when we had no idea of what we wanted. Thanks Cari!

    March 6, 2011 was my wedding day and Cari made all my bridesmaids , my mother and myself stunning and beautiful. Cari did an amazing hair and make-up job using her skills and her magic airbrush. Her prices are very reasonable compared to other vendors who try to rip you off. Cari was able to transform me into exactly what i wanted to look like from my wedding day. I highly recommend Cari R Duprey as a professional hair and makeup artist.

    My now husband and I were on a month long holiday in the US (from Australia) and we had decided to elope while there, with only us and his 2 children. I did the usual google search and came across Cari. From the start of our email trail right up until our wedding day Cari was sensational. She was helpful, very quick to respond to my email's and also was happy for us to go with a natural look for our wedding. My husband didn't want Miss 11 year old (who thinks she is 16) to have too much make up and Cari was a perfect choice. Cari came to our hotel room and was able to do our hair and make up and even style Master 9's hair with some gel. She was friendly, prompt, happy to listen to the children ramble on about their holiday. She was quick and efficient and I'm so very happy that we found her and she was able to look after us. So for anyone looking for the perfect person to look after you on your wedding day, look no further than Cari.

    Cari and her team were absolutely wonderful doing on-site hair/makeup for my wedding! My whole crew - including my 5 bridesmaids, my mother, and grandmother - all looked and felt great. It was important to me that I looked like myself, including keeping my naturally curly hair curly for the wedding (not trying to straighten and then re-curl it like many salons). I loved the way I looked and the experience of getting ready with Cari and her team - would absolutely recommend her!

    Cari and her assistant did hair for me, my mom, 3 bridesmaids, and a flower girl on site the day of my wedding. They were set up and ready to go before I even arrived on site! My hair is very difficult to do due to its thickness and being pin straight but Cari worked wonders! At the trial we had in my home she took the time to allow me to see different looks and besides doing a great job she had a fun personality that made me enjoy our time. The day of my wedding she and her assistant fit in like one of the girls who also happened to be doing our hair! My mom who was terrified her hair wouldn't stay looked exactly the same when we met for brunch the morning AFTER my wedding! I got so many compliments on my hair that day and even my fussy 13 yr old jr bridesmaid was pleased with how she looked! I would definitely recommend Cari for your hair needs!

    Cari did a phenomenal job on both my hair and makeup! I was thrilled with how the look came together on my wedding day for both me, my sister, and my mother. She is kind and honest, as well as professional and flexible. I found Cari to be easy to communicate with leading up to the wedding and she was also accommodating when we were setting up a trial. She was a great addition to the laid-back getting ready vibe on the morning of my wedding!

    Cari Duprey is an amazing hair stylist and makeup artist. It is rare to fine someone who can do both services very well and she totally exceeded my expectations. I looked absolutely stunning on my wedding day and I can't recall a time where I looked and felt as beautiful as I did on that day. I most certainly will use her again to do my hair and makeup for other special occasions. Not only is she great at what she does but her prices are great. Book her today, you will be amazed!!!

    Cari was amazing. I don't normally wear much makeup, and when I do, it's minimal. Cari managed to make me up, but she made me look like myself. In my pictures so far, it looks like I'm not really wearing makeup. I look so natural.
    She also did hair and makeup for my mom and wedding party, and it was perfect. She styled the girls' hair into this perfect rendition of what I was hoping, made my mother look like a glamorous supermodel, and made me look and feel prettier and more beautiful than ever.
    Cari is awesome. She did an excellent job on hair and makeup and was super-sweet and cool.

    Cari did an unbelievable job on my makeup for my wedding. My bridesmaids, mother and grandmother, and of course myself couldn't have loved her work anymore. Cari is professional, easy to work with, and so kind. She was catering to all of my needs and obviously passionate about her art in makeup and helping people feel great.

    Cari is amazing

    My elopement was at 9 AM in NYC, making Cari’s arrival VERY early in the AM to allow time for me to get changed and travel. Cari was on time and she is truly a professional- she had absolutely EVERYTHING in her kits to do my hair and makeup!
    I sent Cari inspo from Pinterest and she nailed it! It was very windy at our elopement location (Top of the Rock) and my hair stayed put- which is incredibly impressive given the strong winds that high up! My makeup was soft and not overdone… it made me feel beautiful- not just like I had glam makeup. I would recommend Cari to anyone and appreciate her patience, timeliness, and expertise! She’s a true artist!!!

    Working with Cari was wonderful! We booked her for both hair and makeup services for my New Year's Eve wedding, and she and her team did such an amazing job. I did a hair and makeup trial with Cari about 4 months before the wedding, and she came all the way to my apartment with all of her equipment to do so. A couple of months later, I was suddenly feeling a little uncertain about the hair style I had chosen, and she agreed to come back for a second trial.
    On the day of the wedding, she and her team had arrived and were all ready for us by the time I and the bridesmaids arrived. Cari is a true artist and really listens to people's wishes. I sometimes get nervous around hair and makeup people because I worry they will go overboard (I tend to prefer simple and classic styles), but Cari truly heard me when I asked for something soft and elegant. I was so happy with the end result, and so were the bridesmaids and mothers. Highly highly recommend!

    Absolutely amazing!

    Cari was amazing! I absolutely loved my wedding day makeup. She stayed on track all day and ensured that we were sticking to a tight schedule. She was also SUPER calm which helps a lot throughout a hectic day. I would recommend her wholeheartedly to anyone for their wedding or a special event. Cari, thank you!

    Amazing hair and makeup artist

    Cari did an amazing job with my hair and makeup ( and being my unofficial bridesmaid in NYC) and helped me get dressed. She was an absolute pleasure to spend the morning with.

    Loved her work!

    Cari did a wonderful job on my hair and make up. She helped me picking out great quality hair clip ins. She did her magic and transformed me into a beautiful bride, she topped my expectations and was worth every dollar. She was punctual, flexible and it was a pleasure to get my hair and make up done with her. It was the hottest day of the year, but the make up and hair was lasting very long. She even was so thoughtful to give me some wipes for the day to wipe of the sweat. I highly recommend her.

    Perfect for my elopement

    I had a very low key elopement ceremony with immediate family and knew I wanted to splurge on a beautiful and simple updo by a professional on my wedding day. I was recommended to The Birdhouse which is how I was introduced to Cari. She was amazing to work with and so fun to talk to during the trial and day of! She was easy to communicate with to schedule the trial and even helped me coordinate the right timing for the morning of my wedding. Would highly recommend for your bridal hair needs!

    Hiring Cari to do hair and make-up for my wedding was definitely one of the best choices I made! Both she and her assistant were professional, kind and did a fantastic job on both me and my wedding party. Cari worked within my budget and captured my bridal look PERFECTLY. I never felt more beautiful in my life. Thank you Cari!

    Wonderful wedding hair/makeup experience!

    I'm not someone who wears makeup daily or gets their hair done, so I really wanted to find someone who would make me still look and feel like myself for my wedding day. Cari did just that! She was so flexible and amenable to my ideas, was happy to change things along the way, and was generally a wonderful person to spend time with. I loved the final look and I couldn't recommend her enough!!

    Cari is amazing!, an absolute angel. If I could select more than 5 stars I would!
    I could not have been happier with my hair and make up on the day-it was more than perfect.
    I sent Cari some pictures of hair and make up I liked prior to the day and she immediately understood what I wanted. She didn't need to ask me any more questions-she just got on and worked her magic and the result was absolutely perfect.
    I honestly could not have wished for a better result. In fact it was even better than I had imagined.
    My hair stayed in place perfectly and I did not have to worry about it one bit. And the best part about the make up was I still looked like me (only better!-he he!).
    I would highly recommend Cari for both hair and make up services.
    Cari was also such an angel that she helped me with my dress on the day as well as some other bits of advice and tips for our day. Cari truly is amazing! Cari is easy to talk to and made getting ready so much fun.
    It was wonderful to have met you Cari and I wish you all the best with everything.
    Thank you so so much for being so amazing and making me look amazing!!-I can not thank you enough-everything was just perfect!

    Cari did an amazing job on all of our hair for my wedding day!!! As well as all of my 9 bridesmaids and my moms and sisters. Evey one had a different hair style and make up. I was worry about the time but woowww everything was on time and was perfect.
    She arrived on time, very nice and professional. She is very sweet and understanding. I am going to recommend her to every future bride I know. She's the best!
    Thank you for everything, and every one(Mercedes, Griselle).

    Cari was such a pleasure to work with! I loved my make up both at my trial session back in March, and of course on the "Big Day!" I have recommend her to a few newly engaged friends of mine! I loved the airbrush technique especially because of my Summer wedding date, I didn't want to have the feeling of all of these products on my skin, and Cari listened and I truly felt and looked myself and loved how well it lasted throughout the evening!!!

    Beautiful Hair & Make-Up all around!

    I can't say enough good things about Cari and her team! She was an integral part in making my wedding day stress-free and everything that I'd want it to be, with on-site hair and make-up for myself, bridesmaids and my mother that we all loved. She worked so well with each one of us, and was able to balance a range of styles (and personalities!) seamlessly. I truly felt like she understood what I wanted and what worked for my features, and I've never felt more beautiful. When I look at my wedding photos I beam with happiness, and Cari is a big reason why!

    Excellent Hair and Make Up Artist!

    Cari was the epitome of professional. I got married in August 2020. My wedding went from a 130+ affair to just immediate family. Our venue ultimately couldn't host us. Siblings couldn't travel. Changes were happening constantly. Cari's positive attitude and kindness began with our first email interactions and lasted through my special day. She made me look (and feel!) beautiful! She was easy to work with and timely with her responses to emails. Love her!

    Made me look and feel stunning!

    Cari met me at our hotel and she was so friendly and down to earth. She made me feel so relaxed and at ease.

    I am not one to talk myself up but I looked gorgeous and most of all I felt absolutely beautiful!

    Thank you Cari for making me feel amazing x

    Cari and her team, Joann and Stella were AMAZING! I had a wonderful experience with Cari from the day I had my trial and on my wedding day. My trial went great, I told Cari how I wanted my hair and she did it, after my trial and throughout the day I was not liking the style I chose so all I did was email her and tell her and she never made me feel like I was being a pain, she just told me we will play around with it on wedding day until we have what you like! She made me look stunning, I got so many compliments on my hair and makeup..she made my makeup look so natural, just the way I wanted it. My girls all looked fabulous as well. Cari and her girls have a real talent and eye for what they do. Besides them being fantastic at hair and makeup, we had so much fun getting rest with them, all of their personalities are great, and it was nice getting to know them and laugh with them..they made the day leading up to my wedding so great and relaxing. Cari was extremely accommodating with my nieces, I have 3 of them and I only booked 2 for hair, then all 3 wanted hair and makeup, Cari made it work without a problem at all! Thank you so much for your hard work and excellent services and for making me and my bridal party as well as the moms and grandmas look absolutely stunning on my wedding day!

    Best decision I ever made…

    It was the best decision I ever made for my wedding to hire Cari Duprey to do my hair. I planned a destination wedding from across the country (from CA > NY) and Cari made my experience unforgettable and SMOOTH. She did an INCREDIBLE job making my hair inspiration come to life, and she calmed me down the days leading up to and throughout the day while she was with me and my wedding party. She picked up extra extensions for me also, a week prior, and was flexible with what I wanted. She REALLY knows what she is doing and I would choose her over and over again for any event, especially weddings! Cari & team - THANK YOU!! I appreciate you making me look & feel beautiful on one of the most important days of my life thus far. 💜💜

    Cari was absolutely amazing. She has a wonderful attitude and is a complete professional. She instantly made me feel at ease and I had the utmost confidence in here ability to deliver on quite possibly one of the most important services on my wedding day. She and her assistant were incredibly efficient. They did hair and make up for a bridesmaid, two moms, two junior bridesmaids and me all in about 4 hours! Yet it never felt rushed or anxious which was unusual with that kind of pressure. Each girl felt like they got the individual attention of the bride. Her work is top notch and her personality is truly authentic and warm. What a great value in Cari Duprey!!

    Cari is the best!!! Hire her if you want to feel gorgeous & like yourself!

    Cari is the absolute best hair and makeup artist. Her goal is to make people tell you how beautiful you look, now how great your makeup looks, and she succeeds! I don't really wear much makeup or get my hair done, so I was nervous and wanted to look like myself. Cari totally got it and worked with me to make sure I was happy with how I looked. We did a hair and makeup trial which was great. When the day of came, I felt beautiful and comfortable and like myself. Cari also did my sister's hair and makeup and she looked stunning. Cari was also such a great presence as I got ready with my mom and sister. I highly recommend Cari!

    A girl dreams about her wedding day for her entire life, and let me just say my expectations were beyond exceeded. Cari was like my fairy godmother adding the perfect amount of makeup and perfecting my hair down to the very last bobby pin. I had sent her pictures of what I liked and she went above and beyond what I ever imagined, also adding her own Cari flair. She was prompt, professional and friendly. She is a true makeup and hair master/artist. My hair was absolutely stunning and makeup was elegant and natural. People are still commenting about how beautiful I looked and I can't recommend her to enough people! Also, my hair and makeup lasted into the wee hours of the night!! I felt like a celebrity and will continue to use Cari for all my upcoming glam needs. :)

    I do not know where to start when it comes to Ms. Duprey and the quality of what she does. At first glance all you see are the photos of the work she has done and you say she's awesome at what she does, then you meet her face to face and she's 10xs more than that. I had worked with Cari during my engagement photoshoot and I knew she was going to be fun to work with for the wedding as well. During the photoshoot, she followed me and my fiance around the park making sure my hair and makeup looked great and also making sure that my fiance wasn't sweaty or shiny either!!! She's Great! But I didn't know how great until November 14, 2009...At a time when I the bride was running around with a million things on my mind, she remained cool, calm and collected. I'm glad I chose to work with someone who is versatile, she goes with the flow and is a great problem solver! If you read the review of my venue you will understand why I was a complete mess on the verge of a total melt down. During my bridal trial, Cari and I had done a run down of what was going to happen and from what time to what time we would have my bridal party done as far as hair and makeup. Well, the day of the wedding, Cari showed up at my house to find me running like a chicken with my head cut off. She remained calm, asked me what we needed to do to get me out the door and at the venue where I was to get ready. She was great! She helped calm me down, got the bartender to serve me a drink and got me in a chair ready to get my hair done. I was running short on time, the hairstyle that we had chosen for the ceremony was definately crossed off the list of possibilities, there was something about her that let me trust my instincts to let her do what she thought would be best for me. It was raining like crazy that day and the humidity did a number on me! Cari quickly decided to pin my hair up and away from my face that by the way, worked wonders for me! She made sure that I looked fresh and never once did I appear like I had been up three entire nights before the wedding making sure everything was done. Everyone fell in love with tan that Cari used to even out my skin tone! I looked like I had spent a day at the beach!!She made me look radiant! The makeup that she applied on my face was absolutely beautiful. I hardly wear makeup so to have a fresh look, that didn't appear caked on was very important to me. She made sure to bring that through with the colors that she used. Cari stayed in the fall pallet but made sure that I looked like myself -only better! I fell in love with Cari's work! After she was done with me, like clock work she worked on my aunt Mary my maid of honor, she made her look like a new person, hair and makeup looked great. she even convinced my aunt and my mom to let their really short heair grow out a bit before the wedding! Not to mention that she got them to try new shades of lipsticks that really worked great with the colors they were wearing that day! I couldn't have asked for a better stylist. I would recommend her to anyone who is in the NY, NJ areas. She has a good sense of what works and what doesn't. She'll make sure to have you looking your best on your special day! She did for me!

    I could not give enough props to Cari because she is just so sweet and caring and always accommodating... not to mention talented in what she does! I was referred to Cari from another hair/makeup artist whose schedule was full the weekend of my wedding and I am so happy I was! I already booked my makeup, but Cari helped do my bridal hair and all of my bridesmaids'/mother's hair. My hair trial was a huge success and I loved the vibe she put off immediately. She was professional yet friendly and talktive and we learned a lot about each other. She not only did my trial that day, but she worked hard and quickly to complete a new hairstyle and do my makeup for a surprise Boudoir shoot I scheduled as a gift to my new husband. Both of her works that day were beautiful! In between the trial and day-of, she kept an open line of communication and even gave advice about accessories, haircut, etc. The day of, she did a marvelous job with all of my girls' hair (and mine) and they were all stunning! I would recommend Cari to anyone!

    I'm so happy that I found Cari! Deciding on beauty stylists for me (and my 12 bridesmaids, 2 moms, and 1 grandmother!) was a somewhat stressful experience until I was referred to Cari. The process of working with her prior to the wedding was easy and refreshing. I wasn't able to make a trial appointment because I live out of state, but I trusted that I was in good hands and I was right. Cari and her girls were so accommodating to our large party, made us all look & feel beautiful, and had so much fun - nothing like a room full of giggling ladies getting all done up the morning of your wedding to get rid of nerves :)

    Cari was amazing!!!! One of the first compliments I get on my wedding is my makeup. Every woman I speak with about it tells me how great my hair and makeup was. The most common comments is that I looked natural but didn't look plain or like I had nothing on. Cari is very friendly and down to earth. She answered all my emails very quickly and was very informative. I felt like I hit the jackpot hiring Cari; to get someone that is very professional, yet down to earth/friendly and experienced all in one!!! I can't thank her enough for making me feel so beautiful on my special day.

    Cari doesn't promote as heavily as other bridal makeup and hair vendors. But if you mange to scroll through those advertised vendors and find Cari, you are in luck and will be very happy with the results. Cari is very good at what she does, and is very nice to work with. She has just the right balance of professionalism and personal touch. I had my trial with Cari three months before the wedding. I wasn't completely sold on the looks. I communicated with Cari the changes that I wanted to make, and she was able to deliver flawlessly. Thank you Cari for making me feel especially beautiful on my wedding day!!!

    I used Cari for my wedding this past October. Cari and her team did hair and makeup for myself, six bridesmaids and two moms. Everyone looked amazing! Not only that but since we had so many people Cari had to come early in the morning to get started. Even though we were all ready by 12:00pm our hair and makeup lasted through the pictures, church and reception ending at 11:00pm! Cari and her team were a pleasure to work with and made the whole experience easy and relaxing on what can be a very stressful day. Thank you Cari!

    Cari was fantastic! So good in fact, that my maid of honor is booking her for her wedding! She has such a calm demeanor, which made me immediately comfortable. Let alone, she gave me makeup tips which I applied to my everyday looks! I had horrific trials with other artists - thank god I found CARI!

    Personable, Professional, and Highly Skilled

    Cari has done my HMU three times (engagement photos, a backyard wedding, and a larger celebration later on in the year). I would’ve been able to tell you after the first session with Cari that she is simply remarkable. She is indeed incredibly talented at what she does. But what sets Cari apart from others in her field is that she sees the person sitting before as a human first and foremost, not just another face to work on. She chose make up and hair style completely according to my skin type, skin tone, hair type, and, of course, personal style. She did give suggestions of what she could do for me, but she mostly sought to create a style that best exemplified who I am. She helped me to feel so beautiful, not just by using the perfect eye shadow or lash extensions, but by using her words of affirmation and encouragement. She is also a steady and calm presence — exactly what a bride needs when nerves are at a high! I loved being able to start my wedding day(s) with her as it truly helped to center me. Hire Cari. You will not regret it and I could not speak more highly of this confident, kind, and hard working woman.

    Best Experience!

    Cari's work is amazing and she is so easy to work with! She did my hair and makeup for my wedding and my friend worked with her for her wedding. Everyone comments on how great my hair and makeup turned out when they see the photos. I loved working with her again as a bridesmaid during my friends wedding.

    Bridal Hair & Make Up - AMAZING!

    I cannot thank Cari enough for working her magic on our wedding day 24th March 2022.

    We eloped from Scotland to get married in NYC and Cari was the first person we met on the morning of our wedding. She was so friendly and felt like an old friend straight away.

    Cari was very prompt on the wedding morning and set up swiftly. She worked in a very professional manner, always asking me my preferences and ensuring I was comfortable throughout.

    Thank you for being so relaxed, chatty and full of recommendations for our trip all whilst doing such an amazing job on my bridal hair and make up.

    I sent over some inspo for hair and make up and Cari matched it perfectly. The hair and make up was absolutely stunning and lasted all day.

    Highly recommend, Cari is extremely talented in her work.

    Thank you so much!

    Cari and her assistant Joann were fabulous! I was a nervous bride and Cari's quiet confidence set me at ease from the moment I met her. She dealt patiently with all of my friends and family, and most importantly, she made me feel gorgeous on my wedding day! Seriously - I've never felt more beautiful, and I have Cari to thank!

    We could not be happier with the job that Cari did! Our make-up and hair were amazing -- way beyond what we imagined. I really didn't know what style I wanted, so Cari just started working . . . . I was blown away with the result. I loved the way I looked. Cari is so talented!!!!!!!!

    Cari Duprey and her partner Joanne did a fabulous job on my hair and make-up on my wedding day. They also did the hair and make-up of all of my bridesmaids and mother. We received so many compliments from friends and family about how wonderful we all looked! They arrived right on time and got started right away. They wouldn't let us leave until everything was perfect! I would definitely recommend them to others.

    Cari was great. She brought along two additional ladies to help have all of our hair and makeup done in a reasonable anount of time. She made sure everyone loved both their hair and makeup before she left. She was very responsive and extremely professional. I would highly recommend her to any bride for your wedding day.

    Cari and her colleague were really great to work with on the day of my wedding! When we arrived they had everything set up for me and my bridesmaids and from there on it was smooth sailing. They took all the stress away from the "getting ready" part. They did a fantastic job. I have never felt more beautiful in my life. Cari did my hair and make up and made me feel like a princess. I have curly hair which can be a challenge but I love how she did the curls, in fact I like what she did so much that I want to meet with her again for a hair and make up consult!

    I originally worked with Cari when she did hair and make-up for my sister's wedding in September. She did such a great job that I decided to hire her for my own wedding this past weekend. She and her second stylist, Daleesa, did such a fantastic job with the hair and make-up for me and my girls. People were complimenting us non-stop. She is also so much fun to work with and has a completely calming presence on what tends to be a pretty hectic day. I would recommend her to anyone interested in having hair and make-up done for their wedding, she's guaranteed to make you feel beautiful.

    Cary was a joy to work with and does fabulous hair and makeup. Especially considering i was an elopement bride who she had never met or even seen until the morning of my wedding. I'm fairly certain she has magical powers and highly recommend her services!

    Cari did the makeup for my wedding and my sisters wedding. We both absolutely loved her. She did an amazing job on us and all of our bridesmaids. I could not have been happier with the way everything turned out for my BIG day. She was on time and easy to work. I would 100% recommend Cari for anyone who is looking for a makeup artist for their wedding. It was so nice knowing that you did not have to worry about how your make up was going to turn out because I felt so confident in her work.

    Cari was an absolute pleasure to deal with from first contact to the moment she finished doing my hair and make up. She was so professional and did an excellent job on my hair and make up. I booked her having never seen her work before and coming from Ireland to get married in New York I went into it worrying about who I had booked. I can assure you that all that worry was completely unwarranted. Cari was amazing and did exactly as I wanted and did such an amazing job. I felt beautiful thanks to her skill and relaxed thanks to her friendly manner. Book Cari, I can assure you, you won't be disappointed. Amazing!!!

    For my wedding day, Cari did my hair and my nine bridesmaids’ makeup. We were all extremely satisfied with her work. Cari is talented, professional, responsive, and dependable. She is also very reasonably priced. I highly recommend her to future brides.

    I am very skeptical when it comes make-up as I am very particular. I love make-up and know how to do it well so when it comes to someone else doing it on me, I am seldom happy. Cari did an amazing job! She is very skillful and knows how to interpret your likes into her work. She's prompt and has all the right tools to get the best results.

    I would use her over and over again and have recommended her to my friends that are getting married.

    Cari was recommended to me by a dear friend so off the bat, I knew she'd be great. From the beginning of our engagement, she was responsive, detail oriented, and patient with my questions. I showed Cari a bunch of pictures of things I thought would shape my ideas for my hair and make-up for the day and she came through with a natural, soft look for my face and hair. There were a few moments throughout the experience that really meant a lot to me, so I'll list them here:
    1. She was super flexible with time, date, and location for our trial. I got married in July and wanted to wait to do my trial until deep into the spring because I turn a shade darker in the warmer months and wanted a more realistic palate to work with. She was totally cool with that.
    2. During my trial, which my mom and mother-in-law attended, she was so super kind and engaging to the moms. That meant a lot to me. And when they slipped out of the room, she and I had some "real talk" to make sure that I wasn't just going with the flow to appease our guests, and that I was truly happy with what we were doing. Even this was done with respect, not mocking of the moms and their hyper-excitement and enthusiasm, just checking in to make sure I was cool.
    3. During my wedding morning, she brought an assistant to help out with the hair and make-up for my bridal party. This was awesome and made the day flow so smoothly. I'm noting this because some vendors require you pay for the assistant once you reach a certain headcount, but Cari did not require any additional funds, which was great! The women in my bridal party truly felt like she was part of the team that day.
    4. Most importantly: Cari is a strong, hard working, accomplished, bad-ass woman. She's smart as all hell, experienced, in-tune, etc. etc. etc. Work with her. You will not regret it!

    Cari was such a pleasure to work with!! From booking her, to my hair trial, to my wedding day, Cari was so friendly, detail oriented, on time and talented! I have very long and thick hair and my hair came out exactly how I envisioned it for my wedding day. She also did a flawless job on all my bridesmaids hair styles and the girls could not get over how amazing their hair looked. We all had such a fun morning getting ready and looking beautiful with Cari! I would highly recommend her for any bride to be and her bridal party!

    So happy with Cari’s services!

    Hiring Cari to do my hair and makeup on my wedding day was such a great decision! She showed up at my apartment with all her supplies, talked through the look I wanted to achieve for the day, and got to work. When she was done, she left the space she worked spotless. Most importantly, she did a wonderful job! I felt so confident and pretty when she was done, and both my hair and makeup held up great for the full day.

    My husband and I eloped in NYC in March and Cari did both my hair and make up. She was recommended to us by our photographer. I feel so lucky to have found her! She arrived at our hotel before dawn so that we could be ready to take pictures by the Brooklyn Bridge at sunrise. She worked quickly, gently, and kindly. She has a great sense of humor, which put us at ease. Even our dog, who typically dislikes strangers, didn't seem to mind that she stopped by! Cari's work is natural and flattering. I trusted her completely, and was overwhelmed with happiness when I saw the final look in the mirror. I looked just like myself, which was important to me, but definitely jazzed up :-) I couldn't recommend Cari more highly.

    Cari was amazing! She made me (and my bridal party) look amazing for our wedding. She brought in the right assistant and adhered to our timeline. Cari and her team were talented, patient and listened and made any adjustments as needed. She knows how best to apply makeup for photography and my photos came out amazing. Cari was easy to work with, very personable and a wonderful part of our day.

    My wedding was September 25th 2011 and all I have to say is Cari is one of THE BEST around. Solid hair AND makeup skills for practically for just about ANY bridal look you want!

    I have naturally wavy hair that gets poofy when I start to sweat. I danced the night away and my hair stayed in place all night long - No poofing or frizzing at all. I also cried non-stop ... yes I'm an emotional bride, but my foundation and mascara were perfect all night ... We checked into our suite that night and I was almost upset to wash it off!

    Cari even has reputatble assistants on hand to help with larger bridal parties or parents. While my mom, my bridesmaids and I were in the hotel getting ready. Her assistant went to my mother-in-law's house to do her hair an makeup and my mother-in-law looked just as beautiful as the rest of the girls! I love that I didn't have to worry!

    Cari is a professional in the fashion and wedding industry. She comes highly reccomend by ME!!

    Cari was absolutely amazing from the moment I contacted her up until the day of our elopement in New York. She helped me with ideas and inspiration and created a look that was above and beyond my wildest dreams and expectations. I felt gorgeous and the makeup lasted through rain, sweat, tears and high summer humidity - it was a miracle. Above all, working with Cari was FUN! She showed up on time on the big day, kept me calm, cool and laughing throughout our session and left me feeling ready to conquer my wedding and the world! I would highly highly recommend working with her for any event or your big day!

    Cari was so great to fit me in last minute for our NYC elopement! She came to our hotel room and did my hair and makeup. She was so friendly and did an amazing job! She even sent me off with blotting papers that I know kept the shine away for our summer outdoor shoot!! My makeup stayed on perfectly even through all of the heat and humidity - which NEVER happens!! You should book her! :)

    Cari did my hair and makeup for my wedding and was AMAZING! She took her time with me, my bridesmaids, and mother to make sure that everyone looked excellent. We event went over the time we had booked her for and she stayed on to make sure everything was perfect... and it was. I wanted a very natural look and despite all the advice from my friends did not want any false eyelashes, etc. With Cari, I didn't need anything. The makeup looked natural and stunning. My hair is thin and typically unresponsive and after pictures in the summer heat and so many hugs from my friends and family, I was amazed that even at midnight, my hair and makeup still looked wonderful! Even my mother, who doesn't really care for hair/makeup, was shocked at how beautiful she looked! One of my bridesmaids has now booked Cari for her own wedding.

    I absolutely loved working with Cari for my wedding! Starting with my hair trial, she was such a delight - super friendly, easy to communicate with, understanding of the look I was going for and she also used the most delicious smelling hair products. We started off with one look that was great, but as all women are indecisive, I asked her after if she could switch it up a bit and also got her input of hair pieces that I wanted to incorporate. My wedding was on 9/10/17. Cari and her colleague Joanne were on time at my hotel and ready to go! They were so efficient , lovely and really listened to each person in trying to create the perfect hair for a perfect day! I was so appreciative of their efforts to stay on schedule to make sure we were ready to leave by a certain time - it was SO helpful. My hair turned out AMAZING and it really lasted the entire day - through the wind and all of the crazy dancing! Thanks so much Cari in helping me look my best and for beautifying my crew!

    Cari was great. She came to my apartment on 2 separate occasions to make sure I had the look I wanted for my wedding day. The thing about Cari that I really like is that she is super talented and can create anything you want. She doesn't have one particular style that she lives and dies by, but rather l asks you questions about how you'd like to look, about your everyday style and about your personality. I told her my personal style, showed her some pictures of what I liked and she literally recreated exactly what I wanted. She is very professional, really REALLY easy to talk to (I felt 100% comfortable telling her what I liked/didn't like) and she is just a really sweet, down to earth girl.

    Even my bridesmaids who I was worried about liking any sort of updo were raving about how awesome she was. My MOM, who is the pickiest person on the planet couldn't have been happier with her hair and makeup. I was shocked. My whole wedding party looked stunning and it was all thanks to Cari!

    My best advice for anyone using Cari would be to just be honest with her if you don't like a certain look she creates and she will be 100% open to it and help you create something you are happy with. She's truly awesome like that and really just wants you to feel beautiful/happy...you can tell she gets a lot of satisfaction out of it!!!

    Her prices are in line with NYC averages...high...but if I was doing it all over I would 100% use Cari.

    Cari and her team did a great job getting myself and all 1O bridesmaids done ..she even touched up my mother in law who wasn't happy with her hair from where she had it done. We were a bit behind..but overall my hair and make up lasted into the evening.

    Beautifully natural makeup

    Cari arrived exactly at our scheduled start time and from the moment the doorbell rang, my stress and elopement-day jitters went out the window. She brought professionalism and a lovely calming presence. It was the most relaxed I’d been in weeks! As someone who wears little to no makeup, I had a lot of nervousness about getting my hair and makeup done. It turned out so beautifully! My makeup was light, natural, and looks great in the photos. Cari recommended the perfect matte lipstick for me. And I received lots of compliments on my hair. Considering we were outside in 93 degree heat, I was so impressed that my makeup lasted the night.
