Carissa is amazing!! I would highly recommend her for any wedding or event! She is so sweet and professional. I never felt more beautiful than I did on my wedding day. All my bridesmaids and family who also got their make up done, each one of them loved and raved about how amazing Carissa is.
Carissa and her team are phenomenal, incredibly knowledgeable and creative in their line of work. From being a subject matter expert to having the flawless ability to execute desired looks, she is an artist I trust and respect. I would recommend her services for anything - a wedding, photoshoot, event etc. If you are working with Carissa, you can sit back & relax because she will make you feel beautiful & taken care of!
Carissa and her team were AMAZING. She made me look like a real life mermaid on my wedding day. She is so proffesional, funny creative and talented. Carissa and her team got all my bridal party ready on time and were even able to add an extra artist at the last minute for us! BOOK HER!! You won't regret it :)
Carissa and her team brought to life the vision I had for myself and my bridesmaids. They were on-time, kept on schedule and even helped wrangle a few girls to ensure that we were all ready by the time our pictures started.
I brought a few pictures for inspiration to my makeup trial and Carissa was spot on.
100% recommend for any bridal party, and will be using Carissa and her team any time I need to have my makeup done for an event. I couldn’t be any happier with the results.
Carissa and her team were an absolute delight to work with. They were flexible, professional and so kind. I had a big wedding party - I had 9 bridesmaids and my mom and my mother in law also got their makeup done. They made everything so easy and every single one of us looked so beautiful.
I highly recommend Carissa and her team for their personalities and their expertise.
Carissa and her team of highly experienced hair & makeup artists are professional, timely, talent and so fun to be around! I’ve worked with them a handful of times now and have always been blown away with the final product and how easy they are to work with! Every time I’ve worked with Carissa or someone from her team they’ve always taken a personal interest in me, and they’ve always had clear communication with what to expect during their service. I’ll continue working with Carissa & her team every time I need professional hair & makeup done and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for artists with experience working on skin tones of various ranges!
EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTING....I hired Carissa's service for my bridal party. She was not available so she said she is sending her "senior artist", Deleana along with another assistant. The hair and makeup were supposed to be done by the senior artist but on the day she delegated it to Madison, who struggled so much even with the basic skills. They arrived at 8 am and were supposed to finish by 2-2:30 pm. She was struggling to even hold the brush and left all my bridal party makeup incomplete, non of the lips were done, no contouring, no concealer. Upon raising the concern to her, she said she is gonna finish the makeup when she does the touchups. However, instead of finishing her work, she left around noon (2 and half hours before the contract time) stating she is gonna be late for her second job. she could not even start my mother's hair (mother of the bride) and my mother was rushed to be done 5 min before the 2:30 deadline when the photography team had already arrived. As stylists, they did not even have any blow dryer and blow dryer brush with them to style medium and short hairs, only iron and heart curler. This is in spite of the fact that I had requested an alternative to iron and heat curler. My due date for the remaining balance was 8/11 (my wedding day). Then Carissa, who supposedly was not available for that day, showed up at my wedding venue( which was a private house) while my husband and I were in a photo shoot and started demanding the remaining of her payment right away. She went as far as demanding my mother to bring my cellphone and unlock it so she can pay herself and when my mother resisted she kept asking my mother to accept the Venmo payments on my behalf f me. She kept pushing for it to the point that my mother had to ask her to leave the premises to de-escalate.
You think she stopped there right? NO, then she started bombarding us with email after email demanding us to "TURN OF PURCHASES AND SERVICES" on Venmo and asking for more money. If you turn off that option you will be losing your right to pursue your purchased service if you encounter any issues with this vendor.
I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS VENDOR.
I found Carissa on social media and could see that her work was incredible. We did a trial to see if we were a good fit for each other, and she of course proved my assumptions. Carissa is kind, professional, detail orientated and honestly such a pleasure to work with. On my wedding day, she made me feel like an absolute goddess and my hair and makeup lasted the entire day. Her assistant also did a beautiful job on my bridesmaids hair. Would 100% recommend!
Look no further… honesty, could not have had my big day without Carissa! I am an ex makeup artist and I was nervous about finding a vendor that understood the assignment and Carissa was absolute perfection. I never write reviews but honestly, she’s the one! All my girls were OBSESSED! Not to mention, her team and admin are incredible and sweet and knowledgeable. Truly, dream come true. And she was fun and sung and danced with us while getting ready! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
Carissa is a true artist! I have never felt more beautiful than on my wedding day thanks to her. I had a huge wedding party, and Carissa and team were able to accommodate 10+ hair, and 10+ make-up services and managed to finish ahead of schedule. The team showed up early and were all so nice and professional. They made everyone feel like their best self, and it was the perfect start to the day! I can’t recommend Carissa enough!!!
Best decision made! Carissa has been great from the start! Day of her and her girls that came to the venue to do all of our hair and makeup killed it! Their vibe is so fun and you feel like you’re just hanging out with friends all day! Thank you so much!!
Carissa is the best. She did my makeup for my friend's engagement day, and it was flawless. She listened to what I wanted and did the same thing. I had so much fun talking and getting to know each other, and she is an easy-going and inspiring person. IDK what else to say except that she is the ONE that you are looking forward to doing your makeup. I wish there were more than five stars to give, highly recommend her. <333
Carissa is a national treasure! She is SO professional and myself and my bridesmaids have never looked and felt so beautiful in our lives! Carissa asked everyone personal questions about our skincare and was so thoughtful about our dress colors, eye color, etc. Carissa is the best in the west hands down!
Carissa was FANTASTIC! She was such a breeze to work with and made a personal connection with each of my bridesmaids and the moms when doing their makeup on the morning of my wedding. The makeup was flawless, she’s truly an artist! I let everyone choose their own makeup look and Carissa made the group look consistent as a whole. My bridal makeup was dewy and absolutely breathtaking. Book her quick, she is amazing!
Carissa did my 5 bridesmaids and my mother's makeup for our wedding. Carissa was extremely responsive by email, and was on time through out the day! She did an amazing job on everyone's make up. All the girls were obsessed with their looks, making everyone feel their absolute best. Carissa was so fun, and a great addition to our day. I would recommend Carissa for anyone's big day!
Carissa is the absolute BEST! She saved the day and was able to make a last minute booking for my wedding makeup. She is extremely talented, very response and so fun to work with! She excels in her craft and you can tell how much she cares with the time she dedicates to her clients. I couldn't have felt more beautiful on my wedding day thanks to Carissa. I would highly highly recommend her to anybody!
Carissa was wonderful! She did an amazing job with both hair and makeup and was super flexible with my last minute booking (2020 wedding = changing plans) and fitting my mom in for the wedding day as well. I have wavy/ curly hair and wanted to preserve my natural texture in my look and it turned out beautifully. I also went with a more minimalist makeup look and still looked like myself, but the best version after. I cannot recommend Carissa enough!
Carissa is absolutely amazing. For starters her work speaks for itself, my hair and make up was everything I could have hoped for our elopement, I felt so incredibly beautiful. She's responsive, punctual, professional and just a kind and wonderful person who wants to help make sure your special day is perfect. I have her booked for our big wedding next year too and can't wait work with her again. Thanks Carissa!!!!!
The experience with Carissa was phenomenal from the moment I booked with her, to the trials, to the wedding day. She is a master at what she does. I felt so beautiful on my wedding day, and got so many compliments on my hair and makeup. She created a look I didn’t even know I wanted!
Her communication with her clients is excellent. Anytime I had a question regarding any information she was quick to respond. Among being very professional the energy she brings to the table is amazing. Carissa did my hair and makeup after a recommendation from a friend who previously worked with her. I have never had my makeup done professionally and at first was worried how it would all go. She made the experience so pleasant and honestly I will be going back to her given any opportunity to have my make up and hair done. Our wedding venue changed 3 times and ended up being at our home in our backyard, so you could say it was a little hectic. Carissa went above and beyond the call of duty. The day of the wedding she helped me get my dress on, accessories and transported the items from the place I was getting ready at to where we were having the ceremony. I also have two pups that were crated during the ceremony and were getting a little impatient, she kept them company during the chaos and gave them water. Although this may have nothing to do with the HMU part it has everything to do with helping my day go as smoothly as possible. I could go on and on, but I will continue to recommend Carissa to my friends and family because I know they will be in good hands!
Shes amazing! I felt so beautiful on my wedding day. She is so nice and professional.
Carissa was punctual, professional and a miracle worker! I can’t remember a time I looked as naturally beautiful as Carissa made me, she enhanced my best features, made my hair and lashes sweat proof and I didn’t even recognize my lips! She is a joy to work with as well, fun personality to go with her major skills. 10 stars!
Carissa was absolutely incredible. Our May 5, 2020 wedding ceremony at San Francisco City Hall was cancelled due to Covid. Late May 2020, my fiancé and I decided to elope in Bellingham, WA on July 4th - which meant I only had 5 weeks to plan. I found Carissa on Instagram and reached out to her via email. She was out of town but still made a point to immediately acknowledge my email and let me know she would get back to me as soon as she returned to Seattle. We set up an intro phone call for the following week and the rest is history. I wasn't able to do a trial run with Carissa, so I have to admit I was a bit nervous (even though her portfolio is amazing). On the day of our wedding, Carissa arrived promptly and was extremely sweet and professional - I immediately felt comfortable and knew I was in good hands. I showed Carissa inspo photos for my hair and makeup and she absolutely nailed it. My hair was better than I could've imagined - boho/chic, just how I had envisioned. My makeup was polished, natural, yet glamorous. My sister and sister-in-law also had their hair and makeup done by Carissa and they both agreed that it was the best hair and makeup they’ve ever had done by a HMUA. I highly recommend Carissa for all of your hair and makeup needs. Honestly, I can’t wait for the next event where I can utilize her services again - she’s that good.
Carissa is amazing! I hired her and instantly I felt comfortable and trusted her to do something amazing - she did not disappoint. My hair was so cute and my makeup looked so good - I didn't want the night to end! I'm now hiring Carissa to do my hair and makeup for my holiday party, and whatever other excuses I can come up with to have her come over and do my makeup. She's amazing!
Could not have been happier! Carissa did my hair and makeup for family photos and everything came out beautifully. She ensures everything is polished and that you love the outcome. She’s truly a gem. Thank you again, Carissa.
Extremely satisfied with her work. Made me feel incredibly special on the day when she did my makeup. I love how personable she was and giving me tips and tricks with makeup application as she works. Also letting me know what she was doing, insuring I am comfortable every step of the way. I highly recommend Carissa. I will be sure to book her again for any special event I will be attending. And the best part, MY MAKEUP LASTED ALL DAY!!!
Carissa and her assistant did an amazing job on my hair and makeup and my bridesmaids hair for my wedding. I loved that she came to our house to get us going, that relaxed everyone quite a bit. Makeup is definitely her strong suite. She made me feel like a model, I've never felt so put together. My hair turned out beautifully, she was very open to changes and allowing me to make my own tweaks to get exactly what I wanted. And the girls looked lovely! He assistant was really fast and plowed through several girls while I was getting myself done up. My only issue was the price. I didn't feel like my hair should have cost as much as it did, considering I had my hair down and only a few strands pulled back, but it lasted all day and the photos looked lovely. Plus my aunt treated me to it as a wedding present, so I really can't complain!
I have had Seattle Makeup Artistry do my hair/makeup twice for events, and Carissa is amazing! She is very professional, accommodating and friendly. No matter the occasion, her variety in hair and makeup expertise will WOW you. She has exceeding my expectations both times and I would highly recommend her for any event!
