Karla is an excellent makeup artist (MUA). I hired her for my wedding and I was very happy I did. She asked me what I wanted first, she listened and executed the vision. I love her soft glam style. I also think her skin prep technique is top notch. I research my skincare and and makeup so I was impressed by Karla's skincare and makeup products. She pays attention to the smallest details and made my mom and I feel so comfortable. My mom is middle aged and Karla was able to cater to her too. My mom loved her makeup and the way she looked. Karla earned my five stars because she really goes above and beyond as an MUA. I highly recommend her and would hire her again. Good job Karla! I am so glad you were part of my special day!

Karla is beyond incredibly talented! She is queen of the glam/Hollywood wave which is the exact look I wanted for my wedding. She showed me so many examples to ask for my exact preference. Even with makeup, I wanted the soft glam and she executed perfectly. Her attention to detail is top notch. She even does amazing skin prep to make sure you're skin is ready. My look stayed perfect all through the night. Working with her was a dream and I hope I can work with again for another event in the future!
Any questions?

Karla and her team are top tier through and through! Karla was very responsive and set up my bridal makeup and hair trial with ease. The trial itself was fantastic! She is an absolute pro and everything she did was thorough and showcased her expertise. After the trial I had a few tweaks I wanted to make, the day of the event she executed the changes perfectly! Great energy, such a sweet personality, and overall someone you want to have on a stressful morning! My bridesmaids and mom loved their makeup. Her team traveled several hours to our destination and were very punctual and professional the moment they arrived. I cannot recommend Karla enough!!

If you are looking for someone that loves what they do, that's professional, listens to what you want and dream for your special day. Then Karla is the best option. She pays attention to every detail. And on top of all that, she is such a kind and sweet person. You will definitely feel comfortable around her. She loves to share her knowledge as well. I hired her to do five services for us and all of us were happy with her work. She's amazing and worth every dollar. I'm so glad I found her to glam us for my daughter's quince. And I will definitely hire her again!

I had the best experience with Karla, she was the sweetest person to work with and she made me feel so gorgeous. She did my makeup & hair and my mom and sisters makeup. We all were so excited about our final looks! She shade matched me so perfectly and made me look like an elevated version of myself. We talked through looks and decided on what would look best on me and the best part was that we would adjust as we went if there was something that didn’t feel exactly right.
Overall it was an amazing experience and I am excited to work with her again!
We talked through looks and found out what would look best and worked theough
walked me through everything she was putting on my face.

I highly recommend Karla! I searched high and low on social media seeking to find one person who does BOTH hair and makeup WELL to get me glammed for my wedding day. I kept coming across accounts who only did one or the other well. As soon as I found Karla’s Instagram account, I knew I needed to hire her! She was very easygoing and knows how to make conversation which was a plus because I don’t like awkward people. She is extremely talented and knows what she’s doing. Everyone in my wedding party who also got glammed by her was very happy too. My flower girls messed up their hair a bit from running around before it was time to leave and Karla and her assistant were glad to help fix their hair. I received so many compliments on both my hair and makeup and Karla truly made me feel like a princess. I need an excuse to get glammed by her again soon so hopefully I have some big events to attend soon.

Karla is absolutely amazing at what she does! She was my main makeup and hair artist for my wedding, and was so professional, kind, and warm. From my hair and makeup trial, Karla made me feel comfortable. On the day of my wedding, Karla went above and beyond. She used my inspiration pictures and trial pictures to curate the perfect look. My makeup and hair stayed in place all night. She will be my go-to artist in Ventura County!
