Carolyn Thombs is the absolute best make up and hair artist in Virginia. She made me so comfortable, beautiful and confident. She helped my visions come to life while giving me valuable advice, recommendations and tips. She is absolutely beautiful person inside and out! Her makeup and hair trials are great. She was wonderful with my family and such a calming presence on my wedding weekend. Would hire her any time I need a makeup or hair stylist. -

Meghan H. Sent on 04/20/2024Carolyn is insanely talented and working with her felt like working with a friend
Working with Carolyn was the best experience from start to finish. She did my makeup for my engagement photos, made me feel like a queen during my wedding hair and make-up trial, and nailed my semi retro look I wanted for my rehearsal dinner. Having her chill, down to earth vibes my wedding morning was the cherry on top. She felt like a friend throughout the experience, which amidst the chaos is so refreshing. I couldn’t have been happier with how my look turned out, and all of my bridesmaids were so complementary. I could not recommend her more - she will do anything to make sure everything is just as you pictured and make it all work. -

Book her now!
Carolyn and her team were a dream to work with! I chose to have my trial the day of my bridal shower and she was so sweet, accomodating, and enjoyable to work with. She walked me through the whole process asking me about my hair and makeup during each stage. I also had her come for my rehearsal dinner, which she did a different look for. On my wedding day I decided to change up my makeup from the trial and without hesitation she was ready to make me feel beautiful. She understood my vision for all events and executed perfectly. She listens well and also adds her expertise whenever I would ask her if I needed more sparkle. I could not believe how beautiful my bridesmaids, MOB, MOG, and I all looked for the big day. -

Carolyn did my hair and makeup for my wedding (along with ALL my bridesmaids and mother-in-law) and everything turned out truly perfect. It's hard enough to get a bride's vision done to perfection, but to also have the bridesmaids AND MIL happy with the results shows true mastery in her art. I cannot recommend her enough. She also did my husbands hair! -

Carolyn was referred to me by a coworker and she completely exceeded expectations! She was responsive in making plans, always on time or early and listened/took notes on what I was looking for. She was such a (necessary) calming force on my wedding day and best of all, made myself and my crew look and feel beautiful. I asked for a more "natural" look whereas my MOH wanted full glam and Carolyn easily delivered on both requests! It poured and was humid the entire day but by the end of the night my makeup was still beautiful! -

Paige C. Sent on 11/12/2023Working with Carolyn was a wonderful experience
I had the best experience working with Carolyn for my wedding. She was not only a relaxing presence to be around on my wedding day but she was really thoughtful in making sure I would love my hair and makeup. Carolyn and I did a trial a few months before my wedding and she was so accommodating in doing a second trial when I decided I wanted to change my look for my wedding day. I am not someone who typically wears a lot of makeup and Carolyn did the best job at making me feel beautiful and polished on my wedding day while still looking and feeling like myself. All of my bridesmaids agreed that they loved their hair/makeup and said that compared to makeup artists from other weddings they had been in she was the absolute best. -

She is SO talented & my hair and makeup held up perfectly for our August wedding! She went above and beyond for each bridesmaid, mother of the bride & groom, grandmother of the groom, and our flower girls! She was so organized leading up to our wedding and the day of! We chose to do a first look at the last minute and she handled that flawlessly! Our day would not have been complete without Carolyn & her team!! We highly recommend her & are so thankful for her! -

Carolyn is awesome and I HIGHLY recommend her! I don't wear a ton of makeup day-to-day, and neither do most of my bridesmaids, but she did such an amazing job doing hair and makeup that made me and all of my bridesmaids feel beautiful! She is great at listening and incorporating your feedback in order to really give you what you want. It was a 10/10 experience working with her! -

She was amazing!
Carolyn did hair and makeup for myself and my 5 bridesmaids for my wedding in Charlottesville. She was absolutely WONDERFUL from her flexibility leading up to our wedding to absolutely incredibly hair and makeup. Through many tears my makeup stayed so perfect all night long and I would absolutely recommend her 100x over to anyone!! -

Carolyn was an amazing hair and makeup artist for my wedding. Her and her team were fabulous with all of my bridesmaids, the mothers and myself. She was so attentive to what I wanted and made sure I was comfortable throughout the whole process. I would have been lost without her! -

Carter F. Sent on 06/22/2023HIGHLY recommend - seriously the best.
I cannot recommend Carolyn enough....she listened to exactly what I was wanting for both hair and make up. She almost knew what I wanted more than I knew what I wanted! She is extremely talented and a great person to have on your wedding day. In addition to hair and make up, she was calm and patient and has great energy - exactly what I wanted/needed on the big day. She made me look and feel like a QUEEN! I also recommend doing a trial with her before your wedding day so you can decide on the exact look you want! -

Great makeup, chill vibe, always organized!
Carolyn was so great and easy to work with. Punctuality was one of my top priorities when booking a hair and makeup vendor since if that part of the timeline runs late it can throw off the whole day. Carolyn was always on time both for our trial and the wedding day! And she's super chill and organized and was willing to do a second bridal makeup trial when I wanted to test out some new products closer to the wedding day. My makeup was so light it felt like I wasn't wearing it at all and my bridesmaids raved about their makeup throughout the night. I would work with her again in a heartbeat! Highly recommend! -

Kelsey T. Sent on 12/09/2022Brides, look no further. Best wedding make-up and hair!
Carolyn's make-up and hair services are unmatched. I do not normally wear a lot of make-up and it was important to me to look/feel like myself on my wedding day. Not only did Carolyn deliver, she also made me feel heard and worked with me to create a look that we both liked! She is incredibly professional, friendly, timely (!!!) and can give you the full glam look or enhance your natural beauty with just a few products. She was responsible for the make-up of both me and my large wedding party and gave everyone unique looks that all were thrilled with! on top of ALL that, she also did my hair. She is so talented! Would recommend Carolyn and her services to anyone, anywhere, all the time!
