I hired Cara for my engagement shoot hair and makeup, and she was absolutely amazing! She helped me decide on the perfect makeup and hairstyle, gave me great prep tips, and made the whole experience so fun and easy. She’s so sweet, friendly, and easy to talk to — we connected right away and even had some girl talk, which made me feel super comfortable.
She was also able to accommodate me last minute since I booked her the same week as my shoot, which I really appreciated. My photos turned out great thanks to her incredible work! Cara is professional, talented, and such a joy to be around. I highly recommend her and can’t wait to work with her...read full review
Thank you, Cara, for playing an instrumental part to my wedding day and providing me with beautiful make-up and hair. Both with-held a lot of outdoor activities and tears throughout the day in Big Sur :) Cara not only provided excellent service, she was a joy to chat with. She's kind, calm, and brings the perfect kind of energy to what can feel like a chaotic day. It was a pleasure to work with her!
Cara and her team did such an amazing job for me and all 13 girls in my bridal party :) Moms, bridesmaids, junior bridesmaids, the works. Her work is thorough, top notch, natural, and long-lasting. I had showed Cara a few inspo pictures for my HAMU trial and she absolutely nailed it, and on my wedding day I absolutely loved my look. I got so many compliments on my hair style, and the makeup lasted through the night. I even wore my hair and makeup (lashes included) the entire next day. Cara and her team were fun, flexible, and stress-free on a busy wedding day morning, I'm so glad we got to work with them all! :)
