    Hiring Carrie, for my daughter's wedding was a true game-changer

    Hiring Carrie, for my daughter's wedding was a true game-changer! Her calm and organized approach helped to put us at ease during the hectic wedding preparations. Carrie not only worked wonders with hair and makeup but also played a crucial role in helping to keep the entire wedding timeline on track. For me the only time I felt any stress was when you are finally getting ready with, a big wedding party, this when you really need someone who knows what they are doing and is keeping everyone on time for pictures. Carries experience really showed here! Her experience working with celebrities was evident, and witnessing her poise and professionalism in action was truly remarkable. Carrie's positive attitude and endless energy were exactly what we needed. She went above and beyond by adding thoughtful touches like eye masks and providing the option for eye extensions, for a more finished touch. Carrie carefully attended to every detail, and we were delighted with the stunning outcome for the entire family and wedding party. Carrie made our daughter's wedding day a success. We couldn't have been more pleased! Five stars all the way!

    Perfection! I don’t even know where to begin! Carrie made my wedding day incredible from start to finish. She listened to my wants and needs and helped me make decisions so that I would look and feel my best. She didn’t only do a fascinating job on my hair and make-up as a bride, but helped calm my nerves and made me look and feel absolutely stunning. Carrie was able to accommodate me with hair and eyelash extensions the morning of which enhanced photos and my positive attitude. She also made sure my mother (mother of the bride) and other bridal party member were looking and feeling their best. I am so grateful I chose Carrie Minchin to be apart of my wedding day! I would highly recommend her to any bride!

    Carrie and her assistant Michelle first took care of my daughter, the bride, then cam over to our hotel...Mother of the Bride and Mother of the Groom.
    I cannot say enough about their professionalism and willingness to listen to the client. Carrie heard our thoughts and created from there. She is truly an artist. I felt so glam and received so many comments on my hair and makeup...stunning...was the most common complement. Loved the whole experience!

    Carrie is the absolute best. She made dreams come true on our wedding day! She has gorgeous taste, is so awesome to be around, and everyone was floored by her work. From the first time we emailed, to the end of the wedding day prep, she took complete care of everything hair and makeup from the planning, to the trial, to the touchups, and made our mothers look and feel like the gorgeous stars that they are! Everyone should work with Carrie and her team We are so grateful!

    When I met Carrie for my trial, I knew immediately I wanted her to do my hair for my wedding and I didn’t need to look any further. She had a wonderful, kind and calming presence about her and I knew that would be important for the day of the wedding. I wasn’t sure exactly what I wanted to do with my hair at my trial, but I had a feeling I wanted a low bun to show off the back of my dress. Carrie started out by curling my hair and then pinned it into several low bun styles. I loved all of the looks, but I was leaning towards a style that incorporated twisted sections of hair. At the end of the trial, she took out the bun and I went home with beautiful, loose curls that lasted two days (my hair doesn’t ever hold a curl like that)! The day of my wedding, Carrie was there on time and set up an area in my hotel room. I absolutely loved my hair and it didn’t budge all night. I could not say enough wonderful things about the work Carrie and her assistant did!

    Carrie is amazing! She is professional and highly talented, and also a lot of fun to be around! She is open to discussing what types of hair styles you are interested in and will give suggestions as well. Carrie styled my hair and make up (Bride) as well as my mother and mother in law, and 3 of my bridesmaids. She was flexible with scheduling and everyone looked beautiful! Highly recommend!

    Carrie is the best! She is so professional, so flexible, and SO SO talented! I show people my hair on my wedding day and people literally gasp. We had a hair trial a few weeks before and I was pleased with it then, but day of, I decided I wanted it more up than I originally thought, and without missing a beat, Carrie made my hair do things I didn't know it could do! It was literally the most perfect hair I could have asked for.

    Carrie made my friends and mom feel so comfortable. She really listened to what they had to say about different things they wanted. Everyone was 100% satisfied! She is calm, cool and collected even during busy times (aka a wedding day) and having her there for the morning of my wedding made my day that much better.
