Perfection

Carrie was incredible, and that is an understatement. She is so experienced in the hair and makeup world! During the planning process, she was timely in her responses and worked so effectively with our wedding planner in creating a timeline for myself and my wedding party. Hair and make-up was such an easy going and fun part of our day! She completed everybody in such a great time, and each of us were genuinely happy with her work. AND it lasted all day - we looked flawless through all of the happy tears and the sweaty dance party. No touch ups were needed! We love her and I will definitely be recommending her to anyone with a face or hair 😊

Perfect, perfect, PERFECT!

I have nothing but positive things to say from my experience with Destination Beauty by Carrie! First off, she is extremely kind, responsive, and easy going. I do not have much experience with hair or make up and she was able to bring out the best look for me!

Secondly, the fact that she will travel to you on the day of your event is HUGE! We had a wonderful bridal suite I wanted to utilize and it made the day so special being able to be in the space and get ready with my girls. AND - she was already there and ready to go by the time we showed up! She then did 3 of my bridesmaids hair and make up perfectly within the time before pictures, without having seen them or their hair types before!

Lastly, everything is so high quality! It was a really windy day, and my hair stayed the entire time - and then proceeded to stay all night! (And I have a lot of hair!) Same goes for my makeup! Overall, a great option - and definitely worth checking out!
