Hair & Make-up,Custom Hairpieces,Photography by Carolina

PROCEED WITH CAUTION- HIDDEN FEES, ABRASIVE TREATMENT, ATTEMPTED TO EXPLOIT CUSTOMERS FOR MARKETING AGENDA, BAILED TWO WEEKS BEFORE MY WEDDING!

There were many hidden fees--for example, she tweezed a few stray eyebrows during my makeup trial without asking if I wanted to incur an additional $15 fee, and the travel fee mysteriously increased by %50 from what we agreed on ahead of time.The business website states that you receive a %10 discount for calling to book,but it turned out this discount did not exist. The lack of transparency was frustrating to me and my budget as a few hidden $10-$15 fees really add up.

I requested that before/after photos taken not be used for the business's marking purposes but she demanded that they be posted publicly or she would not show up the day of the wedding.Unfortunately she had not disclosed this requirement prior to my trial.As my bridal party and I were embarrassed to have unflattering "befores" shared with the world,I offered to provide wedding photos from our photographer that she could use, but she was unwilling to compromise. As the only reason to post these pictures to her site was for her own marketing purposes and gain at the expense of our embarassment,it just didn't sit right as paying customers.I pleaded again that she not post pictures, and was told "Thanks for wasting my (explitive) time!”

As this was two weeks before the wedding, it added a lot of anxiety to my wedding experience to have her bail last minute!! I selected this vendor based on their many positive reviews and wish I had been aware that she would try to force me to help her marketing (at the expense of my own embarrassment and against my will) ahead of time.If she or a review had disclosed this,I would have been able to find a more compatible vendor,and avoid spending $240 on a wasted trial,not to mention the panic to find a new vendor.

Carolina is very professional. When she assured me that she would arrive at my hotel (early) on the morning of my wedding, I knew she would be there. She had a lot of ideas, but she was wanted me to be comfortable with anything she did. She styled my hair, my bridesmaids' hair, and my makeup. Everything looked gorgeous.

Wow, where to start with Carolina?! I can truly say she was quickly a favorite vendor, due to her dedication, talent, and friendliness! She always came prepared and on time and traveled whenever necessary (even in the dark!). She would wake up at whatever time you need to be ready to make sure everything is done on time. She also won't stop until you are happy with everything and your hair and make-up. She did a trial run, hair/make-up for my bridals and wedding, along with some of my family members, and I received many compliments on what a wonderful job she did. She also cut, colored, and highlighted my hair and extensions to match, and I plan on going back to get my hair done! She also is just a genuinely fun and sweet person to be around, will make you laugh and de-stress on your day, and she's easy to talk to. My whole family loved her!

Thanks to Carolina for everything! I would highly recommend her for any hair and/or makeup needs!

Carolina did my hair and make-up for my wedding and I am COMPLETELY satisfied with her services!!!!! Carolina is AMAZING to work with! I had never hired a professional hair and make-up artist before. I had a trial run with another person who charges about the same and it was a disaster. I almost decided to just do my own hair and make-up but decided to try one more trial run with Carolina and I am so glad I did! I have very oily skin and mild acne scarring and Carolina made me look FLAWLESS. She is truly your one-stop-shop for hair and make-up and does both equally well. Whatever vision you have, Carolina can achieve. On my wedding day, Carolina came to my apartment and I did not have to worry about anything. I literally rolled out of bed and let her work her magic. I was freaking out because I had a few pimples on my back and she covered those up- no problem! She calmed my nerves and got my day off to a wonderful start and set a great tone for the rest of the day. I was hesitant to wear false eyelashes but I am glad I trusted her. They turned out beautifully and did not look fake at all. If anyone has anything negative to say about Carolina’s work then you are crazy and impossible to please. CAROLINA: YOU ARE AWESOME!!!! THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING!!!!

Very Very Very affordable for hair and make-up. She is willing to travel to location too.

Carolina showed up right on time and gave me the "look" I was going for. My mom's hair came out beautiful as well. I would recommend Carolina to anyone.

Carolina was absoultley AMAZING!!! Our wedding theme was peacock feathers w/ royal blue and sage green for our colors. Carolina made a custom hairpiece for my Maid of Honor to match the theme it was beautiful! She also customized my birdcage veil which I love. Carolina did my hair and makeup which she made me look "ravishing" is what I heard all evening! She made me some beautiful clip in hair extensions that match my red hair perfectly. I know this was a challenge!!! Everything from begining to end was perfection from Carolina and if I have any other events I will definately use Carolina as well as refer her to everyone. She is always prepared and is one organized individual! She truly customizes everything to match your personality and help be unique.

Carolina did an excellent job for my wedding. We did have to start early, but she kept on tract and finished all my bridesmaids and myself on time! Both the makeup and hair looked incredible, I can't wait to see my pictures. We made it to the chapel with time to spare! Would definitely recommend her!

Carolina is a true professional. She made beautiful hair and makeup for all 3 of us for our photoshoot. She picked a hair cut/design from one of the newest fashion magazine for me and in a few hours she made me look like the modell on the photo. Amazing.

Thank you Carolina!

Carolina did a great job for my hair and make-up for my November wedding. My bridesmaids were quite intimidated with Carolina's brusqueness as they had their hair and make-up done prior to the ceremony, but Carolina's ability at hair and make-up is great! The girls looked stunning!! Have a strong idea of just what you want and you will get just that.

Carolina did my hair and makeup for my bridal portraits and for me and all of my bridesmaids on my wedding day! She worked all day long on my wedding day and did an awesome job. I was so happy with my hair and makeup. I loved it and really felt so pretty in it. She was great to work with. I was nervous that we wouldn't be done on time on the wedding day, but Carolina arrived early and finished a little early too!

Carolina did my hair and make up along with my mothers and 3 bridesmaids. She did a wonderful, beautiful job and my hair and make up lasted all night long!! And let me tell you, this woman is prepaired! Even when my husband came home while we were doing the trial run he said "Holy smokes I thought I had a lot of tools!" lol. She is honest and will tell you what will look good / work on you and what won't. I would recommend her to anyone for any occasion. Thanks again for the wonderful job Carolina!!

I thought it would be more relaxing to find someone to come to the house to get us ready for the wedding, and from her reviews I booked a trial with Carolina. We did a trial where Carolina told me her ideas and feedback to what I wanted. At first I was afraid to tell her exactly what I wanted, and felt pushed in a certain direction, and pressured to book. I ended up booked after my trail and upset at myself because I didn't feel like we connected. I emailed her to express my concerns and she responded promptly and I felt like we were slightly more on the same page.

She did my hair for my bridal portraits and wedding, and hair for 4 of my bridesmaids. My portrait day was pouring rain. When I called her the day before (which was a holiday) she was very encouraging as we discussed the possibility of needing to reschedule. Very flexible. I ended up moving my portraits inside. My hair was half down and holds curl pretty well. However it was fallen and frizzy in the 30 minutes it took me to get from my house to my portraits. I realize that the rain can't be totally combated, but I think some higher quality products could have helped.

On my wedding day, my maid of honor requested a curly side swept do with some draped to hide her forehead and ears (which she is self conscious of). She was told her forehead and ears were fine and ended up with her hair curled and 2 pins behind each ear. Totally not what she wanted. When I was finally able to convince Carolina that my maid of honor wasn't happy, she did offer to fix her, but reminded me we might not have time. We ended up fixing her on our own.

I was pretty happy with my hair for the wedding, Carolina did make sure I was totally happy before we left the house. But then I got my pictures back. I saw how parts of my half updo were coming unpinned and undone. I realize it was a 12 hour day but I have been in several weddings and my hair has always held. I have pretty thick hair, but since the wedding day was the 3rd time to work with it, I would think she would be familiar with it. It wasn't terrible but I was disappointed. My maids hair all seemed to hold pretty well.

I would think she charges about what you'd expect for home service, maybe slightly more. She was always available anytime I called her, had pretty open times for trials, was always prompt, and quickly answered emails.

Carolina is very professional, prompt (which is very important, especially for the wedding day), and is a friendly and energetic person. She is very good at hair and makeup. On my wedding day she had to be at my house at 3:45 AM, which meant she had to be up and out of her house way before that. She arrived on time and got to work right away. She did the hair and makeup for my three bridesmaids and me. She finished before our cut off time, which was nice because that gave me a bit of time to relax before the wedding. I would recommend Carolina to friends and family.

Carolina did an amazing job with my (bride) make-up. Also, my hair is very problematic, in the sense that I do not have a whole lot of volume, it is very thin and somewhat wavy. She made my hair look absolutely beautiful on my wedding day, even my hubby to be was stunned. I received compliments for make-up and hair all night long. My bridesmaid looked beautiful too. I was happy with her services and I would recommend her to anyone.

Carolina was absolutely amazing. She helped me decide on the perfect hair style for my wedding day. She made me look like a princess for my bridal portraits and big day. I have never felt so confident and beautiful.
Since she is an on site artist she did the bridesmaids & my hair & makeup at the church in the bridal room which was so nice since we did not have to travel & it reduced a lot of stress. She is serious business, she knows what she is doing and what looks good for the whole wedding party. She is a hard worker and doesn't waste any time.
If you want to look beautiful on your wedding day PICK CAROLINA! You won't regret it. She even helped me stay calm when I was about to have a breakdown.

She also made me a custom hairpiece to match my dress which was a really nice touch. Consult with her before you buy a veil because she knows what is best.

I was very satisfied with her work. She was very attentive to my needs, and she made great judgments to help me decide my make-up and hair. It helped me so much to have a consultation with her, because I was able to make definite and confident decisions in regards to my hair and make-up. Everyone in my wedding loved her work. I'm glad she was able to help me at the last minute. I would definitely recommend her services.

First, my hair and make-up turned out beautifully. My make-up didn't run after an outside ceremony in 100+ degree temperatures. And my hair didn't fall after a night of dancing. However, I was not happy with the cash only policy or the overcharging for hair accessories. Also, I had to schedule my trial run on a day that was very inconvenient for me but was the only time she could work me into her schedule, and she wouldn't reserve my wedding date without a trail run (which took 5 hours). She brought her digital camera to the trial run and took lots of pictures. She promised to email them to me but never did, not even when I called her a month later to ask for them. Carolina deals in cash only. Not even the deposit can be a check. And she doesn't carry change, so make sure you have the exact amount. Hairpeices that she sold me for $8 each, I found for $1 at other places (after the fact). And after paying that much for them, when I finally took my hair down after the wedding, there was half the number I thought I was getting.

Of all of the vendors I worked with for my wedding, Carolina was definitely my favorite! She has a great personality that was fun to be with. I did a lot of research before I chose Carolina, and her prices were the most reasonable.

I had a morning wedding, and she agreed to come to my house at 4:30 am! She was very flexible & went out of her way to accommodate my schedule.

She was professional & really listened to what I wanted. I was very happy with the outcome. I felt confident in the way I looked on my wedding day & I love the way the pictures turned out!

I would highly highly recommend Carolina.

She is so grate ! She did my Family P.
love her !

Carolina worked with me to make sure I looked just as I wanted to on my special day. She accommodated my changes after the trial. She is knowledgeable and knows what will photograph well. I was very pleased with my hair and makeup on my wedding day! I highly recommend her!

Carolina is fantastic! She is knowledgeable, patient, and very personable. She listened to what I wanted and made me look like a "superstar". She really works hard to make you feel like a queen. I love Carolina and would definitely use her services again.

Carolina is great to work with and her skills are superb. We were very pleased with the bridal and bridesmaid makeup & hair styles that we re received...

Carolina was very responsive when I contacted her. She responds to email and calls. I have had to change times on her a few times and she was very flexible. The best part is that she is available to meet you at your house or anywhere that is convenient for you.

Carolina came to my home to do my trial run, which made it really convenient for me. Also, she stayed with me for hours and looked at all the pictures I had to show her, and we were able to collaborate and come up with hair and makeup ideas that I was comfortable with while taking her suggestions into consideration. Also, she made a peacock feather and crystal hair clip for me and one for my maid of honor that were the exact vision that I had in my head! Also, her prices are reasonable.

Carolina did a great job with the whole wedding party's hair and make-up. She is upfront and honest about what she thinks will work best for everyone and has a vision in mind. She wanted to make sure that I was happy with my look and the make-up felt light and lasted through the whole evening.

Carolina did an amazing job on my hair and make-up. During the make-up and hair trial, she came to my house and discussed what hairstyles work for my hair and what make-up styles I like. She was attentive to what I wanted, and the end result was beautiful. She was punctual on the trial day and the wedding day. She also made me the most beautiful hairpiece that matched the flowers for my wedding. My hair held up all day long and my make-up looked flawless. I couldn�t be happier.

Carolina was very professional and accomodating. I will recommend her!

Carolina did my hair and make-up for my wedding day. She traveled to my house 2 months prior for a trial run and came to my wedding location the day of the wedding. She was very prompt and did a terrific job. She had a lot of pictures to give me ideas for my hair and was able to create the perfect hair style for my wedding day. My make up looked beautiful all night. I would highly recommend Carolina. Thank you!

Carolina is an amazing hair and makeup artist. We would definitely recommend her services.

Great hair and makeup, New what i wanted. Very fast and really cares

Carolina did a beautiful job with my hair and make-up for the wedding! Her price includes traveling to you so you don't have to worry about the wind messing up your hair. She spent 4 hours making sure me and my one bridemaid looked beautiful for the wedding. She also helped me find a fantastic photographer when mine cancelled a week before the wedding. Thank you again Carolina!

She did a great job!!

this woman does not quit! She works hard and does great work.

Carolina is a hard worker and will work tirelessly to ensure the job is done to your satisfaction. She was on her feet for almost 10 hours doing hair and make-up for 5 bridemaids, mother of the bride, and myself and everyone looked beautiful! No detail was left undone.

Thank you Carolina for all that you did on my special day. You showed up exactly when you said you would and within no time we were under way. You listened to each my bridesmaid, sister and my Mom and gave everyone something a little different but all still coordinating. Your a hard worker and take into consideration what your client wants but also still advising as to what may look best. You are professional and your work is wonderful. I certainly would recommend you to anyone who ever asks for hair and makeup services. Thank you again.

I was very pleased with Carolina's work on my wedding day. She works very well under pressure and her work is fantastic. You can trust Carolina to make you look your best on the most important day of your life - I truly felt like a Princess.

Carolina was prompt, professional, and very meticulous with her work. She listened carefully to my needs and completely exceeded my expectations. My makeup was dramatic, yet natural, and lasted throughout the entire day and night. My hair was simple and elegant which was exactly what I requested. Carolina worked very well with my bridesmaids and flower girls, too. I would recommend her services to anyone for any special occasion. She will make you feel beautiful!

She did a great job on my maid of honor and I.

Carolina's knowledge, Skill, and expertise completely shows in her work. You can tell she genuinely has a passion for what she is doing, and loves making people look beautiful!!

Carolina is a wonderful make up artist and hairstylist. She does a great job and care about her clients. If you want to look great and be relaxed on your wedding day, call Carolina. She does it right, is quick, careful and detailed. I consider her a trusted friend and a great professional.

Carolina made me look gorgeous for my photos because the way she did my makeup was so natural and flawless. I loved seeing my husband's face when he looked at me, and exclaimed that I looked like a supermodel. My hair was also soft and romantic-looking, with an orchid in it for just the right touch of elegance. Carolina was great to work with because of her perfection to detail and natural artistry. She was friendly and helpful to be around, & I would recommend her to anyone needing such services on their special day.

Carolina is so easy going and fun to be around, especially on such a stressful, yet joyous day. She makes working together a breeze. I love the work she does.

In my opinion no bride should appear on her wedding with out having had a professional hair and makeup
The cameras these days show every pore and more!! Be sure to call Carolina and let her talk with you about her program to make you the most beautiful ever.

I just worked with Carolina this weekend and she did a fantastic job. The products she used were top notch and even still looked nice right before bed 10 hours later!! Both my face and hair looked beautiful when she completed. She has a great personality and has an honest demeanour. We were laughing and talking like we were old friends right from the start. I would highly recommend Carolina.

Carolina is a blast. I really enjoy her company, and now that I've worked a wedding with her--I see that she is very good at what she does.
