My experience with Carla was more than I could have asked for from a hair and makeup artist. She is such a sweet and kindhearted person, and makes you feel beautiful both inside and out. I don’t usually wear makeup and was a little nervous about going all out for my wedding day, but she did such an amazing job at a natural, soft glam look that I felt comfortable and like myself in. Thanks to Carla, I felt beautiful and confident on my wedding day and all of my photos came out perfect ☺️

I cannot say enough amazing things about Carla Farra! From the moment I met her at our trial a few months before the wedding, I knew I had made the best decision. Not only is Carla incredibly talented, but she also has such a warm and kind energy that instantly put me at ease. She has years of training, schooling, and professional experience, making her an absolute expert in hair and makeup. I felt so confident in her abilities from day one, and she completely exceeded my expectations.
I loved her work so much that I ended up asking her to do my hair for my rehearsal dinner the night before the wedding as well. She created a stunning updo for the rehearsal dinner and then perfected glam curls for my wedding day look. Both styles were absolutely beautiful and exactly what I envisioned. Honestly, I would trust Carla with any style or look because she truly has an incredible range. Whether you want something classic, modern, or totally unique, she can bring your vision to life.
One of the things that stood out to me most about Carla was how well she listens to her clients. She made sure I felt completely comfortable and heard throughout the entire process. My maid of honor had specific requests for her look on the wedding day, and Carla went above and beyond to accommodate her vision. It’s clear that she genuinely cares about making sure every client feels their absolute best.
Carla’s professionalism was top-notch. She was communicative, organized, and punctual in the months, weeks, and days leading up to the wedding. On the big day, she radiated positive energy that added so much to the vibe in the bridal suite. She worked efficiently, ensuring everyone stayed on schedule, and no one felt like they were sitting in the chair for too long. Her presence was such a calming and joyful addition to our morning.
If you’re looking for someone who is not only an expert in her craft but also brings amazing energy and professionalism to your special day, Carla Farra is the one. I’m so grateful to her for making me feel so beautiful and confident for both my rehearsal dinner and wedding day. I would recommend her a thousand times over—she is simply the best!

As the Maid of Honor for my best friend's wedding, I had the immense pleasure of seeing Carla work her magic up close, and I was absolutely blown away. From the moment she arrived, her professionalism and warm demeanor set a positive tone for the entire bridal party.
Carla took the time to understand each of our individual styles and preferences, ensuring that every one of us looked and felt our best. For the bride, she created a stunning look that highlighted her natural beauty and made her feel like the queen she is. The makeup was not only exquisite but also long-lasting, holding up perfectly through tears, laughter, and dancing.
What stood out most was Carla's incredible ability to make everyone feel comfortable and confident. She was patient, attentive, and exceptionally talented, transforming the morning preparations into a truly enjoyable experience. Her keen eye for detail and artistic touch resulted in makeup that was both elegant and timeless.
I received countless compliments on my makeup, and I know the bride and the rest of the bridal party felt the same way. I can't recommend Carla highly enough for any special occasion. Her expertise and dedication made a significant difference, and we are all so grateful for her exceptional work on such an important day.

I am so glad I found Carla. I was working under a short timeline for my wedding and she was so flexible and was able to get me in for a trial on short notice. I totally recommend doing a trial run because my hair turned out even better the second time around!
I wish I could get my makeup and hair done every day by Carla!! She is so down to earth and fun to talk to. My sister, best friend, and I all got our hair and makeup done. She arrived right on time and stuck to the schedule so we all got to the venue on time. She was able to accommodate for all the different styles we wanted, from natural to full glam. She also did my grandmother's hair and by the end, she was wanting to get her makeup done too! She couldn't believe Carla got her hair to hold a curl 😂 My makeup and hair held beautifully throughout the day. I would highly recommend Carla as your makeup and hair stylist for your event!

Carla made me look and feel amazing on a very special day. I couldn’t believe the amount of compliments I received about my hair and make up. She is the sweetest and made my vision come to life. She is so sweet and brings that calmness you need the day of your wedding. She also did an amazing job on my mom and my two bridesmaids hair. My mom never treats herself and I was so excited for her to get her hair done and she was smiling ear to ear. I would a 1000% hire Carl again.

Carla was so sweet and professional! She arrived on time and remained ahead of schedule for all of the bridesmaids. She really is a master of her craft in both hair and makeup—her airbrush is flawless and she does the perfect natural glam makeup looks. I wanted to look like a better version of myself without being unrecognizable and she definitely achieved that. So happy we chose Carla!

Carla did an amazing job with mine and my daughter’s hair and makeup for my wedding last weekend. She really listened to our vision and executed it perfectly! She was especially patient with me, as I tend to be a bit of a perfectionist. She was also as sweet as can be! I would definitely recommend Carla for your hair and makeup needs!

Carla showed up in all ways. Her work is phenomenal and her work ethic and professionalism is on point. She did myself and my bridal party. She stayed on schedule and everyone was so happy with their looks. I had done another trial with someone else before her and can honestly say I was so happy to have found her after that. My first experience was not the best!
Carla is also equally as good at makeup and she is with hair! It’s hard to find someone who is great at both. I would definitely suggest hiring her if you want a beautiful look and smooth day without any hiccups. Reliability is hard to find and you can count on her! I couldn’t be more grateful!

Carla was amazing! I had a hair and makeup trial with her before our wedding date, and 30 minutes into it, I knew she was the one :)
Carla did the hair and makeup for myself, my 2 bridesmaids, and my mother on the day of the wedding. She was with us from 8:00am-1:30pm and we had a great time with her! She is VERY professional, yet still extremely personable and positive. You can easily tell that she wants to be with there with you and wants to make you look your best.
She does a lot of TV, magazine, runway shows, etc. and I asked her what venue she enjoys working at the most and she said she prefers to work with brides. I thought that was pretty cool :)
She is very open to ideas, pictures, and looks that you want. Also, she works so well with people that in the end everyone is happy with the work because she has communicated with you throughout the process.
Finally, the cost of her services was the best value I could find! She charged $100 for the hair AND makeup trial (plus an additional $25 since I wanted airbrush foundation). Then for the day of the wedding, my hair and makeup cost $250, my mom's was $125, my sister (who got airbrush and lashes) was $160, and my other bridesmaid was $125. In total, Carla traveled to our house and did everyone's hair and makeup for $660.
Thank you Carla, it wouldn't have been the same without you! :)

I loved my hair and make-up for my engagement photos and my wedding. I usually do not put make-up on my face, and wanted a natural yet dramatic look for my most memorable day. Carla accomplished this; she did airbrush make-up and made my eyes stand out by adding individual lashes. My make-up lasted from my early morning wedding through my late night reception party. The lashes did not fall out, and Carla provided a touch-up kit which i barely used. For my hair, I decided to have it curled and pinned for my ceremony which held the veil, and for the reception, I took the pin out and the curls looked awesome. I looked and felt exceptionally gorgeous. Carla also did my mom, and my bridal party's make-up and hair. She works extremely fast and stayed on schedule, but the result of her work seemed like she took hours. We all looked beautiful. Carla's work and practice is so professional. Check out her website to see how fantastic she is.
