    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!!!

    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.

    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.

    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. 💜💜

    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 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!

    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!!

    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!

    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 and Stella were excellent. They did what exactly what we asked and were great to get along with. They are good family friends and would definitely refer them to anyone looking!

    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!

    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.

    Amazing experience!

    Cari was so wonderful! She’s talented and extremely professional. From the first time I met her, I knew she was reliable and would do a beautiful job. She did my hair as well as my bridesmaids and everyone looked gorgeous. I highly and whole heartedly recommend 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

    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!

    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!

    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.

    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 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!

    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!

    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. :)

    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!

    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!
