Carrie truly is amazing at what she does. My college roommate had her for hair and makeup at her wedding, and she did great with my hair and other girl's makeup--so I hired her for...
MY wedding!! And, no surprise, she did AMAZING yet again! She was super flexible about scheduling my hair/makeup trial. She was super efficient and created beautiful finished hair & makeup products on myself, my mom, my sister, and two of my bridesmaids. Everyone loved their hair and makeup, and felt great for the big day! And her prices are pretty reasonable when you compare her to other's AND with her resume of experience. Hands down would suggest hiring Destination Beauty for your wedding too! It made me such a stress-free Bride when it came to my hair & makeup!
