    Highly recommended

    They made the process so easy. The Bride and her Bridesmaids looked amazing. Steff really took the time to understand each of the lady’s ideas and preferences. Then she made it happen!!! Staff are professional, responsive and flexible. We loved everything about interacting with them. Thank you for everything! We would definitely recommend Paper Dolls hair and makeup.

    Shayla's your girl!

    I had the pleasure of working with Shayla for my bridal trial and wedding day. She is a gem and I am so happy I found her. She was very accommodating and communicative through the whole wedding planning process. She made me and all of my bridal party feel so beautiful. She nailed all of our hair and makeup on the first try and is such a joy to be around. My hair and makeup lasted well into the next day lol I never had to worry about any of it coming off. I highly recommend her to anyone!! Do yourself a favor and don't look anywhere else, Shayla is your girl!

    Highly Recommend Paper Dolls!

    Shayla and her team were the absolute BEST!! They made my entire bridal party look and feel their absolute best and made us all so comfortable and helped us have so much fun while doing it! Would truly recommend them to anyone. Shayla also went out of her way to move my engagement photo appointment when our photo session was moved because of rain. She is truly so kind and accommodating every step of the way!

    So worth it!

    I contacted Shayla for a handful of updos and makeup for a wedding we were attending in Charleston. I am SO happy we did! My makeup looked fantastic and my hair stayed all night and so did all the little flower girls! Would definitely recommend her and her team for any event you need to look your best! She was super easy to work with, friendly and got us all finished ahead of schedule. Thank you so much for the wonderful experience.

    Loved Paper Dolls !!

    Shayla and her team did a fantastic job on our wedding day and do really beautiful work!! She is so personable and easy to work with and her team is so efficient and talented. They kept the day going at the perfect pace and every one was ready in time without feeling rushed for photos etc. My mom has been a hair dresser for 40 years and told me after the wedding how impressed she was with their level of skill and efficiency! I was nervous to make a few changes since my trial but all Shayla needed was an inspo photo and she nailed it. I am so happy we chose Paper Dolls and would absolutely recommend them to any future brides

    The Most Beautiful Hair and Makeup!

    Shayla and her team are incredible! As someone who doesn't really wear makeup, Shayla was able to create a natural look that didn't seem over done and looked beautiful in photos. She also created the perfect hairstyle after looking at a few inspiration photos, and was flexible about making slight changes on my wedding day. My bridesmaids and I felt beautiful and our hair/makeup lasted all night (and into the next day!). Shayla was efficient, personable and fun. We loved chatting with her during my trials and on the day of, which made my wedding day more relaxed. I would not hesitate to recommend Shayla to any bride!

    Book Paper Dolls!

    Shayla is absolutely fantastic. From the day she did my makeup trial for my engagement photos, to the day she did my wedding makeup and hair—she is incredibly talented and knows how to make the whole process fun and stress-free. I was a little worried when looking for a makeup artist since I am of a different ethnicity and in the past I’ve had issues with my makeup being too light or looking artificial—but with Shayla, my makeup was flawless and natural like I wanted it. I couldn’t get over how good my hair and makeup looked on my wedding day and she made my mom, who never does anything for herself feel like a princess which made me so happy. I had several outfit changes and a very long day due to having 2 ceremonies for my wedding day and my makeup and hair stayed perfect. Shayla, you’re amazing! Don’t hesitate to book Paper Dolls!

    Amazing Hair and Makeup!

    Allie was absolutely incredible! Not only did we have so much fun with her, but she also created the most perfect wedding looks for not only myself, but for my bridesmaids and mother-in-law. My makeup was exactly how I would have imagined it. Effortless and elegant. I also, at the last minute, decided to do my hair another way and she did an incredible job. Not only did my hair stay all night long, so did my makeup! I woke up the next day with literally the same exact look. Do not hesitant to hire Paperdolls for your wedding hair and makeup. You won't be disappointed!!

    Amazing and talented team!

    Shayla and Allie were such a fantastic team to work with. All of the bridesmaids and moms were incredibly happy with their hair and makeup. They were flexible and very efficient during what can be a stressful day; they helped put me at ease and start the day off right. Everyones hair and make-up lasted through the end of the night, which was an amazing feat. Can't thank you ladies enough!

    Fantastic Hair and Make-up

    Shayla and her team were fantastic to work with! We had hair and make-up done on all the girls in the wedding including MOB and MOG. Everyone loved the final results and Shayla was very efficient. Both hair and make-up lasted through the end of the night. As someone who almost never wears make-up, I appreciated that I still looked like me.

    PERFECT Bridal Hair and Makeup!!!!

    My wedding was 8/24/19 and finally I am just getting around to writing reviews! It is important to me to call out what amazing work Paper Dolls does for brides and bridal parties! I absolutely loved my wedding hair and makeup, done by Carrie who helped work with me to get my look just as I envisioned! Paper Dolls was amazing and so patient with each of the girls in the group. Everyone looked so beautiful, and natural! The makeup and hair crew worked efficiently to get through all of us (there were 10 bridesmaids!!), plus both mothers, and myself. Everyone looked so fabulous and I could not be more grateful for such a hardworking crew! I would highly recommend them!!!

    Wedding Hair and Makeup

    Carrie and her team are truly the best! I booked Paper Dolls upon a recommendation from my planner for my Old Wide Awake wedding on 11/7/20, and I am so thankful I did. All of my bridesmaids were raving about how talented and efficient Carrie and her team were. I did not have time to do a trial for my wedding hair or makeup, but Carrie took a photo that I showed her and made me feel truly beautiful and bridal! They were prompt, skilled, kind, and I would hire them again for sure.

    Highly Recommended

    My daughter and her bridesmaids were very happy with Paper Dolls. Due to COVID, my daughter was unable to have a hair and makeup trial prior to her wedding day. She chose Paper Dolls based on pictures of previous clients and I agreed to sign the contract based on their transparent pricing structure.

    Carrie and Kelly came to our location and managed to stay on schedule while providing hair and makeup for eleven women. They were very professional and pleasant to have around during the pre-wedding festivities.

    I highly recommend Paper Dolls for your wedding day hair and makeup.

    Fairytale Wedding!

    I am so happy I found Paper Dolls! The entire process from start to finish was such a breeze! Carrie and her assistant did an incredible job on my bridesmaids and me. They were prompt, professional, and very courteous. I felt like they took into consideration what my bridesmaids wanted, and they made it happen! They had to work on 7 people in my bridal suite, and they ended up finishing early on us! Mind you, several of my bridesmaids had really long hair! I told Carrie what I wanted to do with my hair, I showed her makeup and hair inspirations, and dang if she didn't almost make me look like the picture! I never had to adjust or ask for any modifications, I thought everything was perfect just the way she did it. Although, if I did have any suggestions, she was eager to hear them and she definitely made sure that I was happy with the finished look. I heard how beautiful I was over a hundred times it felt, although, I could never get tired of hearing that! ;) Thank you for making me feel so gorgeous on my wedding day! I would highly recommend Paper Dolls for all of your makeup needs.

    They were incredible!

    I was so happy with my choice of Paperdolls for my wedding hair and makeup! Shayla is very responsive and her team was so fun! I did a trial with Allie and she did an amazing job with my hair! It stayed all day long. Day of, the girls arrived to our getting ready spot early, and they earned their 5 star review! All my bridesmaids looked beautiful. The Paperdolls team were efficient, excellent, and so much fun to hangout with! They made sure each girl felt beautiful - the hair was natural yet elegant, and the makeup accentuated each girls' natural beauty. I would chose them over and over again!

    Excellent! 100% recommend!

    I'm so glad I hired Paper Dolls for my wedding hair/make-up. Carrie did mine and I could not have been happier. From our first emails back and forth, she was extremely responsive and professional. At our trial, she did not finish until we got the exact look I was going for. She kept showing me my make-up and made small adjustments as we went. I was always so nervous how my look would turn out all put together on my big day but it was 100% what I envisioned. I truly felt gorgeous. You can tell she is extremely experienced and confident in her skills, and the end product shows! The airbrush make-up lasted all evening and I got SO many compliments! My bridesmaids that got hair and make-up all looked amazing as well. Seriously hire Carrie, you will not regret it.

    Our HMU Dream Team!

    Carrie and team did a FANTASTIC job on my bridal and bridesmaids' hair and makeup for our wedding. Everyone looked natural but gorgeous. Due to a medical issue, the makeup artist who I had done my trial with was unable to make our wedding day. Since we were not local to Charleston and unable to do a 2nd trial, Carrie herself went above and beyond to come to do my makeup after another wedding she'd already had booked. It looked even better than the inspiration photos I showed her. 100% perfect. Kelly did the bridesmaids' makeup and they all looked amazing. Kristin did our hair and did a wonderful job. All the ladies were on time, responsive, extremely friendly and we had a blast getting ready with this team.

    AMAZING - 10/10 Would Recommend to EVERYONE

    Shayla and her team were the most incredible choice for hair and makeup for my wedding. I have never felt more beautiful - Shayla made everyone feel like a goddess and it honestly felt like she was just meant to be there with us that day. She's the best hype girl you could ask for, and is insanely talented hair and makeup artist. I would recommend Paper Dolls to anyone looking for hair and makeup in Charleston. Thank you Shayla for literally everything!

    Beautiful wedding hair and make up

    I would highly recommend any bride to get their hair and make up done by Paper Dolls! They are so easy to work with and extremely flexible. Carrie, the owner, is so friendly and amazing at spray tans!! She did my spray tan for the wedding, and it looked great! Kristin did my hair and make up, and she made me feel absolutely gorgeous. She listens to any question or critique and is so friendly. She offered great suggestions, and was so patient as I looked over my hair and make up to make sure I liked every detail, which I absolutely loved every detail! Kristin and Beth did hair and make up for the bridal party, and MOB and MOG, everyone was so happy and we all loved working with them! I am so so so happy I chose Paper Dolls for my wedding day!

    Great to work with; I felt stunning.

    Carrie and her team at Paper Dolls was so great to work with. Although my initial hair and makeup trial had to be rescheduled, Carrie made it happen, and on the day of she and her team made everyone look absolutely stunning. We did cover the tips for everyone who had their look done, so I ended up spending a bit more than I would've otherwise, but it was worth it. I would hire her again!

    Amazing! Glowing!

    Carrie and her team are AMAZING at Paper Dolls and I (and all the girls) cannot recommend her enough! I felt beautiful, yet natural, and had a glow all night long. Both mothers and bridal party were also beyond happy with their hair and makeup. I loved working with her from day one and cannot rave enough about Paper Dolls!!!

    The absolute best

    Carrie and her team did hair and makeup for me, my bridesmaids, my mother and the mother of the groom and I can’t say enough good things about Paper Dolls! Carrie was so responsive via email and flexible in accommodating last minute changes. She listened to exactly what I was looking for and took detailed notes during the trial to make sure my wedding day look was perfect. She also did my makeup and hair for my engagement photos which lasted through hours of July heat in Charleston and looked great. Thank you Carrie!!

    Masters of Hair & Makeup

    I knew from my initial call with Carrie, that Paper Dolls Wedding Hair & Makeup was the perfect fit. And I was right. Carrie did my hair and makeup for both my rehearsal dinner and wedding. I always get nervous to get my hair and makeup done because I don't really deviate from my normal routine often, but Carrie immediately put me at ease. She is a true professional and helped me pinpoint what I wanted (I barely even had pictures to provide direction) and proceeded to absolutely nail it. Not to mention, she's just an awesome person. The time I spent getting ready flew by because we just chit-chatted the entire time. I had a massive bridal party and she and her team handled it like the pros they are. They got everyone's hair and makeup done within the allocated time (me, 9 bridesmaids, mom, mother in law and flower girl!). Even with some serious rain and dancing on our big day, my makeup was somehow fully intact even the next day (I didn't want to wash it off ha!). A big thank you to Carrie and her team! I would highly recommend Paper Dolls to anyone!

    Beautiful!

    I am so glad that I chose Paper Dolls for my wedding! I truly had never felt more beautiful, and I owe that to Carrie! During our trial, I told her exactly what I was hoping for in hair and makeup for the big day. She NAILED IT on the first shot! She created a beautiful side braid! Not only that, but she easily recreated both my hair and makeup on wedding day. She and her assistant did an amazing job with all of the bridesmaids, working efficiently to have everyone ready on time. To hear my bridesmaids say that out of all of the weddings they were in, this was the best experience with hair and makeup really says a lot! I highly recommend Paper Dolls to any bride and their bridesmaids! :)

    Shayla was fantastic! She was efficient and professional, yet very friendly and warm. Myself, my sisters, and my mother were so happy with how our hair and makeup turned out!! I would recommend Paper Dolls to friends without hesitation!

    Flawless and Beautiful

    Carrie and her team (Beth and Shelby) did a FANTASTIC job getting me and my bridal party all "dolled up" for the big day! Each of my girls loved their flawless makeup and perfect hair styles. They all did a fabulous job tailoring each look to the individual, even my mom who has never had her makeup done by a professional was raving about how beautiful she felt. One of my favorite moments with my girls that day was when they all saw me for the first time after Carrie had finished her work. I felt so incredibly beautiful when I saw the looks on all of their faces. :)

    Perfect wedding day hair and makeup

    We worked with Sierra and Kelly for bride and bridesmaid hair and makeup, respectively. We were all so happy with our hair and makeup - all my girls looked and felt gorgeous! Sierra and Kelly were so friendly and professional. Would highly recommend them!

    Shayla Battle was my stylist and she was super sweet and amazing at what she does. She truly made me look and feel amazing on my wedding day!! What really surprised me was I showed her a picture of a hairstyle that I wanted for my big day.. she took one look and it looked just like it if not better. Shayla you are truly a professional. I felt like a princess on my wedding day because of you and I will always be grateful for that. Thankyou for being patient and arriving early you are the best!!

    I had my pre wedding hair and makeup trial run with Domanique and I was thrilled with the results! She was extremely professional and made my thin/fine hair into a beautiful up do. She worked tirelessly until my makeup was exactly as how I’d dreamed! Can wait to work with her again on my BIG day!

    If you are looking for a hair/makeup stylist in the Charleston region LOOK NO FURTHER! Shayla and her team were incredible: personable, kind and so easy to work with. I provided a few images of a braided bridal updo and she absolutely nailed it along with light and airy makeup that was perfectly suited for a brunch wedding. Very highly recommend Paper Dolls!

    I can't thank Carrie and the entire Paper Dolls team enough for making my entire bridal party (including mothers and grandmothers) look and feel absolutely beautiful on my big day! Carrie and her team arrived on time, with all their equipment, and set up quickly. Before we knew it, they were ready to get started! All the artists really listened to the girls requests for hair and makeup, and made everyone feel at home. We all had a great time laughing and chatting with the girls from Paper Dolls. The day went by so fast, but Carrie and her team made sure they stayed on time and were able to get everyone's hair and makeup done. They also made sure to do some last minute touch-ups! I changed my hair style from my trial, Carrie and I decided to make my makeup a little more dramatic. Carrie walked me through everything and made sure I was comfortable and happy with the final product! However, happy is an understatement- I was thrilled! My hair and makeup was exactly what I pictured it to look like on my wedding day :). I received so many kind compliments from our wedding guests, vendors, and family. My hair and makeup stayed intact the ENTIRE night, even after a little mist! However, the best reaction was my now husband who was completely speechless during our first look! Thank you again for making me feel and look absolutely beautiful on my wedding day!

    Carrie and her team were a joy to work with and did such beautiful work. My bridal party and I were all so happy with how our hair and makeup turned out! One thing I really appreciated was that she was very conscious of how many services each of her team members did in a given day to ensure that we wouldn't have to start too early before the wedding. Would definitely recommend working with them!

    Prior to using Paper Dolls for my wedding, I was a bridesmaid who had my hair done by their team for another wedding. Carrie and her girls did a GREAT job on the big day, and Carrie herself came to my house for my trial run about a month and a half before the wedding itself. I myself only had my hair done, but several of my bridesmaids had both hair and makeup services, and looked absolutely beautiful. I 100% recommend these ladies for your wedding- but be warned! They're a popular booking, so the more advance notice you can give, the better ;) Thanks again, Carrie!!

    I can't say enough about Carrie at Paper Dolls! She did such a great job. She responded quickly and was very flexible. She did my bridal portraits hair/makeup as my trial and she also came and did my hair for my rehearsal! On the wedding day they were on time and brought all of their stuff. She had one other stylist with her and they not only did my hair/makeup and my mom's hair/makeup, but 6 bridesmaids and 2 flower girl's hair. She also made time to come to my venue after my first looks for touch ups! They did a great job at matching my pinterest pictures I showed them. I plan on booking Carrie again for future events!!

    Shayla is incredible! She was able to translate my vision into reality and the whole crew from Paper Dolls was so professional and fun to work with in the bridal suite. All of my bridesmaids looked flawless and they did a great job of minimal makeup on my mom and the mother of the groom who requested lighter makeup.

    Planning our wedding from New York, we knew we had to get this right the first time. We hired Paper Dolls at the recommendation of a few photographers in the area, and so glad we did! Shayla was already set up and ready to go at our venue, Legare Waring House, when I arrived with the bridal party. She did hair and makeup for my mom, mother in-law, sister in-law, and myself. We were all so happy with the results! Shayla was personal, professional and so TALENTED! Right before she started with me, I showed her some inspirational Pinterest photos and she made my hair and makeup BETTER THAN the photos. I couldn't be happier with the outcome. My makeup lasted all night, as promised, and my hair was flawless. If you're working with Paper Dolls, you're in good hands!

    When we started planning our Memorial Day weekend wedding last summer, I immediately hired PaperDolls for mine the Bridal party’s hair and makeup. I was a Bridesmaid the year prior in my friend’s wedding and they did an outstanding job! Carrie did my hair & make-up trial run for my engagement shoot a couple months before the wedding and I was completely blown away and got super excited for my big day. It is crazy humid in South Carolina and our airbrush makeup held up perfectly all day! I had to call Carrie for an emergency spray-tan a few days before the wedding due to an accidental sunburn (whomp whomp) and she made me look gorgeous. My wedding day hair and makeup was nothing short of stunning and all my maids looked beautiful. During our first look pictures my husband told me I looked gorgeous and I took his breath away. Thank you for outstanding work! I highly recommend Carrie and her team; they book up quickly, so book them asap! Our wedding was featured on Southern Bride’s Real Weddings and I am so excited for our vendors. They truly deserve it!

    I was originally recommended to Paper Dolls by a previous bride, and I'm thrilled that I went with their team! Shayla and her team were OUTSTANDING. After my hair and makeup trial, I completely flipped what I wanted to do and Shayla was more than happy to help and accommodate something I felt comfortable in. By the time the wedding day rolled around, I gave her a few pictures and she NAILED it! I had extensions added in and she made me look and feel like a super model. She came right to our house on Folly Beach and set up shop, which made it unbelievably convenient for all of us My entire group of bridesmaids, plus my mom and a handful of aunts, also had hair and/or make up done and Shayla was able to delegate and keep everyone organized so that we we finished not only on time, but a little early so that we had some time to gather our belongings before we headed to the venue. Thank you Shayla for all of your help! You really are an artist!

    I can't begin to tell you how amazing my experience was with Carrie and the Paper Doll's team. After initially having a traumatizing experience with another beauty salon, Carrie ensured me that would not happen to me again. Beth and Alyssa were both incredible. They came to my apartment for my hair and make up trial then came to the hotel I was staying the day of my wedding. Beth and Alyssa we're not just personable and great ladies to chat with, Alyssa nailed my make up as did Beth with my hair. I felt absolutely beautiful on the day of my wedding. I can't thank Beth. Alyssa and Carrie enough for making this experience so special and making me feel so beautiful.

    PaperDolls - Wedding Hair & Makeup made all of bridesmaids, mom's and myself feel so beautiful and comfortable on the day of the wedding. We didn't have to start hair make-up until 11am because they are so efficient and they really made the day enjoyable! Not to mention they made me fall in love with airbrush again after a poor experience. I was cautious about my make up being too heavy, and at my trial they really took everything step by step with me to create the perfect look. Thank you Carrie and team you are incredible!

    Shayla and her team at Paper Dolls were awesome. I did my trial run for my hair and make up in December for our wedding in March. I showed Shayla pictures of what I liked and she was able to create the exact look I wanted. When she came to our hotel rooms on the wedding day, she created that look again to perfection! We had so much fun with them while we were getting ready for the wedding. They were professional, but so much fun to be around. We were able to stay right on time the day of the wedding with Shayla and her team sticking to the wedding planner's timeline. She brought the right amount of staff to get all the girls and the mothers taken care of. All of the women were so pleased with their looks and everyone looked stunning. With eight women getting hair and make up done, Paper Dolls hair made the check out process so simple and quick through Venmo. We are so pleased with their work and I felt so unbelievably beautiful on our wedding day!

    I felt beautiful on my wedding day because of Paper Dolls. Carrie was easy and comfortable to work with and seemed to know exactly what I wanted. I'm glad she was a part of the my day and would recommend to anyone. Plus the makeup and hair lasted until 2 AM that night when I regretfully took it off:)

    Beth Bell with Paper Dolls had been my hair dresser for years so she was one of the first people I called when my wedding date was secured! She did my hair and airbrush make up as well as all of my bridesmaids hair, and my mother's make up! I couldn't have asked for a better experience and you won't find anyone better than Beth! We had a hair and make up trial in Charleston, where I got to meet a few of the other Paper Dolls stylists and they were all great! I couldn't recommend this company and their stylists more!

    Shayla was a joy to work with! She was very responsive to emails to provide pricing and information as well as my trial-run. She was fun and energetic and the work she did was fabulous. I received so many compliments on my make-up -- it looked wonderful but still very "me." My bridesmaids, mother and MIL also looked wonderful. Thank you, Shayla!

    Shayla and her team were phenomenal!!!! I came in for my trial on a weekday morning before the wedding and had no idea what to expect. I've never had an experience like this. The trial was just the two of us in her studio in Mt. Pleasant. We talked about ideas, looks, needs and the overall goal of my hair and makeup. I felt so comfortable getting to know her and we had a great time just talking and laughing together. Come wedding morning, her team arrived on time and within minutes the bridesmaids were starting their hair and makeup and after I got a little more rest, Shayla did mine. Everything was done with speed and perfection! We were all allowed to pay separately by Square and it was extremely efficient. LOVED Paper Dolls!

    Carrie and her team at Paper Dolls are phenomenal! I loved the fact that they specialized in wedding hair and make-up. It was such a breeze to have them come to us on the wedding day and not need to stress. They were very flexible with payments, allowing me to pay for everyone's hair and for the girls to pay separately for their make-up. They are able to work quickly and still make you look flawless. I would highly recommend Paper Dolls!

    Carrie is absolutely AMAZING! She made me feel beautiful at both my trial run and on our wedding day. I seriously couldn't have found a more talented hair + makeup artist. I didn't even take in a sample picture, I simply just told her the style of my wedding, and she knew exactly what I wanted. I was blown away. Her team also did a fabulous job on my bridal party on the day of the wedding--everyone was so impressed. They are all amazing, efficient, and prompt. We only had a few hours to get 9 of us ready and Paper Dolls handled the challenge with ease! Carrie and her team made my day better than I could have ever imagined. The MOB/MOG and grandmothers had Paper Dolls do their hair + makeup for the wedding day as well, and they were all pleased beyond belief with the end result. One last thing, my hair looked flawless even after the next day!! I could go on for days about this fabulous team, but just book them and see for yourself!! They are the best! Thank you so much Carrie and all of the girls at Paper Dolls. My day was better thanks to your team!

    Flawless work, timely arrival and stayed PERFECTLY on the timeline organized by my wedding coordinator, so kind/talented/easy to work with. Carrie heard my vision and created an absolute masterpiece with my hair, and I have never in my life felt so beautiful thanks to Paper Dolls. You will never regret working with Paper Dolls. They made me feel so beautiful and special through the entire process from trials to the big day. Thank you Paper Dolls, all my love.

    I couldn't be happier with my wedding hair and make-up. Carrie is friendly and responds quickly, and Kristin took one look through my Pinterest and nailed the hair and make-up I wanted. My whole bridal party commented how awesome she was, and she fit right in during our "getting ready" party. Would highly recommend.

    Love Love Love them! Everyone there is such a joy to work with. They make sure you are happy from start to finish with your hair and make-up. For example, I wasn't completely happy with my make-up during my trial, so Carrie (the owner) allowed me to come back in and have a second trial done at no cost. Paper Dolls took the street out of not only my hair and make-up and spray tan, but also that of my bridesmaids. One of my bridesmaids has an incredibly thick and ling head of hair- she described Paper Dolls as "magicians" and she could not have been more right! The hair and make-up lasted all night and was that beautiful natural look that we all strive to have. I felt gorgeous all day and night and cannot thank these amazing ladies enough for all of their help, hard work and talent. I will definitely be booking them again next time I need hair and make-up for a big event! Loved working with them and would definitely recommend any of their stylists again and again!

    Paper Dolls is amazing! I don't usually wear makeup or do much to my hair, so I was very concerned with looking natural and like myself for my wedding day. The girls at paper dolls far exceeded my hopes, and they were even super patient with me when I couldn't figure out how I wanted my hair. Highly recommended to anyone in Charleston getting married!

    Paper Dolls is amazing to work with. Carrie has a great taste and really knows what suits her brides the best. I was unsure of what I wanted for my wedding hair and had two trial runs with her and still could not make up my mind. Carrie made a recommendation and I decided to go with it. I am so happy I did! My hairstyle was better that I could have ever imagined. I absolutely loved it!!!

    Carrie & Alyssa at Paperdolls were incredible to work with. I was so happy with my hair and makeup look, and the required trial is worth every penny. My bridesmaids were also really impressed with the hair styles and service they received for the wedding. The contract and day-of payment was especially easy because they accept Venmo, which allows them to skip the credit card percentage fees that many vendors tack on. My girls that wanted makeup could also make their own separate payments which took a lot of stress off of my shoulders while preparing for the day. Lastly, I heard so many of my vendors tell me that they are "the best in town" when I would mention who I contracted, and I completely agree! I wholeheartedly recommend this awesome team!

    Carrie was fantastic to work with. I changed my desired wedding hairstyle pretty significantly between my trial and the actual wedding day, and when I told Carrie about the new style (on the morning of the wedding), she did not skip a beat and gave me exactly what I described! My bridesmaids, MOB, and MOH were all very pleased as well. I was so impressed that she was able to give them all the style I desired, despite that fact that they all have such different hair volumes and lengths. The make-up was also fantastic; we got married on a HOT day in the summer, but our makeup stayed on despite the 95+ degrees during the photos and outdoor ceremony. Additionally, Carrie is so friendly and easy to be around -- which is very important for someone who will be spending the entire morning in your bridal suite with you and your friends! She stuck exactly to the schedule and had us all ready for photos with time to spare. I found out after the fact that Carrie also does spray tans; I had already gotten one when I found this out but I would have done that with her as well.

    Shayla and team from Paper Dolls are amazing! My experience from first contact to our wedding was wonderful. As an out of town bride, Shayla was flexible with my trial run date and time and was able to translate my vision from some photos into real life! Shayla was very responsive and was also extremely flexible with some last minute changes to the day of schedule, which was so helpful. On the day of, the team arrived and set up promptly and stayed ahead of schedule while making the girls and myself look incredible! These ladies do amazing work and add both a sense of fun and calm the day of! I highly recommend Paper Dolls!

    Paper Dolls Wedding Hair & Makeup went above and beyond my expectations before, and on, my wedding day. I was a bit overwhelmed when it came to planning this part, as I had a very large bridal party, and needed day-of services for 13 ladies! As soon as I spoke to Carrie on the phone during my search, I knew that Paper Dolls was right for us – she was confident that her and a team of 3 others could beautify all of us in the 4-hour time frame we would have. Planning my wedding from a distance, I was only in town once for a quick trip during the process, and Carrie came to my hotel room for my trial! With one picture I had saved for my hairstyle vision, and my instructions of “natural and light, but enhanced” for makeup, she instantly created the absolute perfect look for me. On the wedding day, her and her team arrived promptly to our rental house, set up their stations in record speed, and had all of our services done AHEAD of schedule. They even accommodated last minute extra services and touch-ups for everyone; the whole morning was absolutely stress-free thanks to them, and each of the ladies looked stunning from the time they were done-up, until the last song of the night. I could not have been more pleased with Paper Dolls and would HIGHLY recommend them to any bride! Carrie made me feel picture perfect on my wedding day, and feel so thankful for them each time I see a new wedding picture – these ladies are amazing!

    Shayla and her beauty team went above and beyond for our wedding day! Our venue was a very old, historic building downtown and had poor lighting. Shayla came prepared with lights and extension cords to make our primping space adequate, she's so prepared! Everyone loved their hair and makeup, even the mother of the bride, who is impossible to please! They really listen to what their clients want and make it happen. Thank you so much for making us all glamorous! Rachel

    Carrie and Shayla belong in Hollywood because they truly made me and my wedding party feel like stars on my special day. I was lucky enough to meet Carrie through my amazing wedding planner, and from the first trial run until the wedding day was complete I knew I was in the most capable hands around. I looked like my most glamorous self, and I could not be more thankful for the wonderful experience I had meeting Carrie and her team during the process of trials, engagement photos, bridal portraits and the actual wedding. I also sent several friends and family members to their new Blow Dry bar in Mount Pleasant, and everyone raved on their experience there as well. You can not go wrong with Carrie and the team from Paper Dolls.

    I used Paper Dolls for our recent November wedding. Carrie and Shayla were AMAZING. From my hair and makeup trial run to the big day itself, Carrie was very responsive and accommodating – and best of all, so fun and easy to talk to! On the wedding day, it was so great knowing she knew exactly what I wanted. I was able to sit back and relax! Additional members of our bridal party even ended up getting hair/makeup done after seeing what an incredible job they did. They made us feel absolutely beautiful and were worth every penny!

    I cannot say enough good things about Carrie and her amazing team. I was a destination bride and had her and the girls come to where we were staying in Folly Beach. When they arrived, I was blown away at how quickly and efficiently they were able to do our hair and makeup and they were all FLAWLESS. We all couldn't stop staring at ourselves! I highly recommend them for any event, completely worth every single penny and one of the best vendors I worked with throughout my entire planning process. Thank you Carrie!!!

    I am a minimalist when it comes to makeup - a little powder, light eyeliner, mascara, and lip gloss. On my wedding day, I wanted to look a little more put-together, but still natural. Alissa at Paper Dolls did an amazing job, and I could not have been happier with how my makeup turned out. My bridesmaids wanted a variety of makeup - from traditional to airbrush, light application to heavier - and they all looked absolutely beautiful. I would highly recommend Paper Dolls!

    Carrie and Paper Dolls are amazing! I chose her based on the amazing reviews and beautiful pictures of other brides she had worked with.

    We had a destination wedding so when we went down to Charleston to do some wedding planning I had my trial done and was very happy with the results.

    Speed forward to the wedding day and Carrie offered to do both my hair and makeup which I was SO thankful for as it came out AMAZING! She was so professional and answered all of my questions throughout the entire planning process and was even accommodating when I had special requests. Before the wedding day, she asked if there were any tweaks I wanted to make and even made some last minute changes on the day of.

    I couldn't have been more thankful that I found Paperdolls as hair and makeup is one of the most important parts of the bridal look. Everyone was commenting on what a great job they did on me and my bridesmaids!!

    Thanks again for everything, Carrie and team :)

    I used Shayla Battle with Paper Dolls Hair and Makeup for my engagement photos and wedding and I was OBESSESD! Shayla not only listened to what I wanted but went above and beyond. My entire bridal party got their hair done as well and all the girls LOVED it. If only I lived in Charleston I would probably have Shayla do my hair daily. I highly recommend Paper Dolls for your wedding!

    Carrie and her team are wonderful! I got married on a hurricane weekend, with half of Charleston flooded and her team was calm and collected the whole time. Even when the power went out, they finished our hair and makeup in natural light and Carrie sent one of her team members to our hotel (which had power) to finish my mom's and grandmother's hair. We all looked beautiful! Another thing I really appreciated is that she didn't get offended during my trial run when I kept changing my hair style. I came in with a certain style in mind and after seeing it, it wasn't the right feeling I wanted. Carrie took the time to find out what the feeling was that I wanted, but what I was trying to avoid and really delivered.

    Amanda was great! Friendly and professional. She completed make-up and eyelashes on my bridal party. She was on time and finished on time. Make-up was flawless. Carrie, the owner, is so responsive and quick! Overall, a great experience on my wedding day and would recommend them to anyone! (Also, pretty inexpensive, which is a great bonus for a wedding budget!).

    By far THE BEST in the business for hair and makeup. I booked them for both my boudoir session and wedding day and they were great! I received SO many compliments on my hair and makeup. If you want to look perfect on your big day, book them!

    Carrie is absolutely wonderful! She is such a professional, so patient, detailed, and calm. She genuinely wanted to find a style that was right for me and was willing to keep working with me on styles until we found one together. I showed Carrie a picture of exactly how I wanted my hair styled and she NAILED it on the very first try. My hair is very thick and frizzy, so the humidity in Charleston is tough for my strands. My hair looked perfect all night and stayed in place perfectly all night long. I felt like a princess and couldn't have been happier working with Carrie. She also made my bridesmaids and mom look stunning and made us all together look and feel amazing! I would 100% recommend her to all brides! She is THE BEST!

    I chose Paper Dolls to do makeup and hair for my wedding because Shayla had also done my sister's wedding and I was so impressed. I had an initial trial and showed Shayla a picture of the hair style I wanted and she created magic! My hair looked exactly like the picture, doing hair is like playing music by ear for her! Shayla was so much fun and did a wonderful job. I would recommend her to any bride. Here are pictures: http://www.danacubbageweddings.com/blog/chelsey-matt-july-4th-creek-club-at-ion-wedding/

    Carrie is awesome! She made myself and my whole wedding party look and feel beautiful! She is so talented and is able to recreate any look. Aside from being talented she is also such a kind person, very easy to get along with and talk to. It was a pleasure to work with her and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to get their hair and make up done in the Charleston area!

    Carrie is such a treasure. She did my hair and makeup for my wedding in Charleston- June 2015. Carrie made me feel so comfortable and at ease throughout the entire planning process. I was very nervous about the bridal trial because I had previously completed a trial with a different Charleston hair/makeup company and it was a disaster. Carrie reassured me that PaperDolls would be a better experience and she was so right! It was a fantastic experience all around. In all, I did a hair trial, bridal portrait makeup, my mom did a hair trial with her and my wedding day (plus all my bridesmaids). PaperDolls is the most professional hair/makeup company I have ever used- she was actually ahead of the time schedule on the wedding day which is such an accomplishment!!! I had so many compliments from guests that I was "glowing"- the makeup was flawless and my hair held up for the entire day (8+ hours)!!!! Thank you Carrie and PaperDolls for all that you did to make me the most beautiful version of myself on my wedding day! - Ashlyn

    I booked Carrie to do my hair and makeup for an engagement session in April. From the moment I spoke with her on the phone I know I loved her! She really cares about the bride and it doesn't feel like you're talking to a business owner who is just trying to make money. She really wants to work with people who want to look and feel amazing! Her studio is amazing, and her work is so fantastic! I loved that she took time to get to know what I was looking for.

    I got so many compliments when people saw my photos! My fiancee and I live in PA so we unfortunately can't use her for our wedding (if we had unlimited funds, she would be my girl!!!)

    I am so grateful to have been given her name!!

    Carrie was amazing. From the very beginning she was responsive and helpful, which is so important when you are planning a wedding from another country! She was really easy to get along with and when she did my trial, not only did I enjoy a nice glass of wine, she got my hair and makeup perfect the first time around!! I am not sure how she did it, but on the wedding day, it turned out even better, I absolutely loved it!! Thank you so much!!

    Carrie was great! She met myself and my bridesmaids at our location and did her magic. My makeup and hair was gorgeous and it stayed that way all night.

    I LOVED Shayla so much! She did such an amazing job with me, and I can not say enough wonderful things about her. From the time of our trial run, up until the day of my wedding, I knew that I was in the best hands. She is not only a wonderful artist, but also a kind person! I loved chatting with her almost as much as I loved how beautiful she made me! I have never felt more beautiful than I did on my wedding day, and she made it happen! Even when I had a less-than-stellar bridezilla "I'm late" moment, she was nothing but poised and efficient!

    Paper Dolls is incredible!! I got my spray tan a few days before the wedding as well as all my bridesmaid and my hair and makeup. Carrie is so easy to communicate with and the day of the wedding we all felt like we were at the spa. Shayla did my hair and makeup and she is wonderful. I had so much fun talking with her and I cannot recommend Paper Dolls enough. Thank you!!!

    Carrie is the best. She listens well, leverages her experience to provide recommendations, and is super fun to be with; which is important if you are going to spend all day getting ready with someone! My hair was exactly what I asked for and it did not move the entire evening- which is a small miracle considering I have super fine hair. I also loved my makeup and felt absolutely gorgeous on my special day.

    I had the pleasure of working with Carrie and her team for my wedding, and I would highly recommend Paper Dolls! The team did a wonderful job with hair and make-up for myself, three bridesmaids, mother and grandmother on my wedding day. The team is very professional, efficient, flexible, and lots of fun. The team really listens to each person's request and is great at making adjustments to perfect each look. Truly a wonderful experience working with Paper Dolls, and they exceeded all of my expectations!
