Carolina was a wonderful makeup artist and helped us feel so positive for the wedding day. She did makeup for me (bride) my sister (bridesmaid) and my mother. We appreciated her skills so much, she created beautiful natural glam looks on us and helped us feel confident and upbeat for the day. We especially loved the attention she paid to our skin, creating a flawless flowing base that was still natural and enhanced our natural skin tones rather than covering completely. She was very helpful in the preparation, I booked two trials with her beforehand as it took a little time to get the perfect colours (as I am quite pale) and textures and I really appreciated her patience and time. Her calm and cheerful attitude helped make the wedding morning preparations a fun and enjoyable experience.

The look that Carolina gave me was amazing
Carolina did a fantastic job of making me look beautiful for my wedding day August 28 / 25 . It’s quite a job to work with a customer who is as terrified of make up as I am… but the look that Carolina gave me and my family was amazing – really natural, soft and complimentary. Her friendly, confident and professional manner made me feel relaxed and it was actually a lot of fun! Thanks so much Carolina for doing my hair & make up 💄💇🏻♀️
I felt like a real princess on my big day

I cannot say enough amazing things about my hair and makeup team. They did an absolutely incredible job and made me feel so confident and beautiful on my wedding day.
Coming from the U.S. and getting married in Ireland, I was a little nervous about coordinating everything from afar, but they made the entire process completely seamless. From the start, they were warm, professional, and easy to communicate with, which put us all at ease.
On the day of the wedding, they made us feel so comfortable and relaxed, and the results were even better than I could have imagined. My hair and makeup held up perfectly and photographed beautifully. I'm so grateful to have had such a talented and kind team as part of our day - I couldn't recommend Karolina more!

Carolina was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding! Calm, friendly, and warm, she kept everything running smoothly and on schedule without ever making it feel rushed. Our hair looked incredible and lasted all day — and well into the next day!
Her trials and consultations beforehand put me, my mom, and Jolene completely at ease, and she delivered beyond all expectations on the big day. Thanks to Carolina, I felt beautiful and relaxed, and we couldn’t be happier with the results. Highly recommend!

I cannot thank Carolina enough for being part of our wedding day. She did my hair and makeup for my wedding as well as my bridesmaids makeup and my mother’s makeup. From making me so at ease throughout the morning with her calming energy to the little touch ups before the ceremony I couldn’t have asked for more! My hair and makeup turned out even better than I could’ve imagined or hoped for, even after my fabulous trial! We received so many compliments from guests throughout the day and well into the night.
I would recommend Carolina to any bride looking for hair and/or makeup for their wedding.

Planning a destination wedding meant I had to hire and trust vendors from afar, which can definitely feel stressful. From the very beginning, Carolina made the entire process easy and reassuring. She was organized, communicative, and helped coordinate everything seamlessly.
We did a trial beforehand, and when I decided to make a small change to my look, she remembered and executed it perfectly on the wedding day. She arrived right on time with everything she needed and brought such a calm, fun energy to the getting-ready process.
Most importantly, my hair and makeup lasted the entire day and night. My curls usually fall out almost immediately, but they held beautifully through all the photos, ceremony, and dancing. I truly could not recommend her more highly!

Carolina did my bridal hair absolutely perfectly. I wish my hair could look like that every day! I visited her for a trial first with several different ideas and she came up with a blend of the best elements that I loved.
She travelled to the venue on the morning, and did the hair for 5 of us, and everyone was very happy with their own styles. 10/10 strongly recommend

her talent, care, and professionalism made all the difference. I couldn’t have asked for a better MUA and hairdresser to help me shine on such a special day.
It was a challenge, as she looked after my hair and makeup, but also my mother, mother in law and all my bridesmaids! Seamless and pure talent 🙌🏻
Grateful beyond words! 💕✨

I'm sure the words I express will never match up to how professional, talented and amazing Carolina is. From the second she arrived she was patient, friendly and a dream to have in our room. You always want to feel happy and stress free the morning of your big day and Carolina done exactly that. She done hair and makeup for my two bridesmaids and two junior bridesmaids and of course me the bride also. My daughter decided last minute that she wanted some makeup done and Carolina had no problem doing so in which I'm very grateful for. Highly recommend Carolina, talented with both hair and makeup and time was of the essence. Thank you again Carolina, although I hope to never marry again I almost would just to have you on the day again :)

I had gotten my makeup done by Carolina previously and always loved how glamorous yet natural it looked so I knew I wanted Carolina for my wedding day. The makeup lasted all day and night and I felt like myself. The bridal party were all delighted with their makeup too. Carolina brought a great energy on the morning of the wedding. Would highly recommend.

Myself, my bridesmaids and my mum were all so happy with Karolina. She did 5 very different hairstyles and was able to create exactly what we each had in mind. I changed my mind on styles between my trial and the actual day and this. was no problem. So nice to deal with, relaxed but very organised and kept the show on the road. I often find upstyles can be a bit 'samey' but this was definitely not the case with Karolina and I was so happy I found her for my big day.

Karolina is so sweet - as a destination bride, I was nervous, but she made me feel so at ease! She did amazing work, and tweaked the application of the makeup on the day-of to accommodate my requests. I'm so grateful for her and her crew (she brought another artist since she needed to start later than she originally planned), and she was able to work with all different shades of skin tone, which was important for my bridesmaids! My makeup stayed on all day and night and didn't budge :) Destination brides - definitely hire her!

I was getting married in May and with just 3 weeks to go, my own hairdresser let me down. Through a friend I was introduced to Carolina who explained to her the position I was in. Without hesitation Carolina checked her diary and could do my day. She would get me in for a trial as soon as she could .. which she did. She asked about my vision of the day and how I wanted to look. She looked at pictures of my dress and my venue. And made suggestions about my envisaged style.I had only some of my head piece but she got pearls also in the salon and I got the hair style I would want for my big day.. she took.pictures from every angle fore to see. She was so accommodating as I changed numbers of people wanting their hair done on the morning also what some of them wanted done. On the day Carolina arrived so professional she added to our morning of getting ready with her friendly smile and her attention to detail not just for me but my bridesmaids and family. Everything about her is professional and I have no problem recommendimg her .I and my party enjoyed our morning with her as part of our wonderful gathering .

She did five of us in total on the day and everyone was so happy and it lasted all day and night on all of us. Mine even lasted for day 2!! Wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone!

I could not recommend Carolina highly enough. From the first contact, she was so pleasant and helpful. She was so organised and professional on the morning of the wedding, and she gave some really good practical advice as well. I got married in December and Carolina advised to have my hair up because of the weather. I did a trial with her a few weeks beforehand and I knew she’d be great for the wedding day. She was so calm and relaxed on the morning of the wedding, my bridesmaid and mother were happy to follow her recommendations for hairstyles on the day, and they were thrilled with the results. Carolina is a really lovely, chatty lady and we all really enjoyed getting our hair done on the day. I would look no further than Carolina for your wedding hair.

She was extremely helpful, accommodating and responded punctually and accurately at every point of communication.
I could not recommend her enough. Beautiful products, desired results, Carolina is a lovely person and an expert in her field

Carolina and Dominika were both absolutely amazing on the lead up to our wedding and on the morning itself. From my initial contact with them,they were so responsive and helpful to any queries I had. I had a lovely experience for my hair and make up trial, the moment I met both ladies I knew I was in very good hands. On the morning of the wedding they arrived on time and were so efficient. There were 5 of us in total for make up and 4 for hair. Both ladies were so chatty and so much fun,they made us feel so relaxed. My bridesmaids,my mother and I were absolutely thrilled with our hair and make up. It lasted the whole day, everything was perfect! I would recommend both Carolina and Dominika for their wonderful talents and for being such lovely and bubbly people to have the pleasure of dealing with 💜

I can't speak highly enough of the job the ladies did the morning of our wedding. They had 5 bridesmaids a bride and a mother of the bride to do hair and makeup for- so a lot to do! But they were just wonderful. Everyone looked fabulous and were truly happy with their looks and I was over the moon (I am super fussy with hair and particularly my makeup as I hate looking overdone but they did the most wonderful job of giving me a natural look and really listening to me). They were also just a lovely smiley, relaxed and friendly presence to have with us the morning of the wedding. Could not recommend them highly enough!

From the very beginning, Carolina was so accommodating and professional. I had a trial before the wedding, where she took the time to explain every product she was using and even recommended the exact lipstick so I could purchase it for touch-ups throughout the day. My mam and I were absolutely blown away by the result and said it was a pity I wasn’t getting married that day! Carolina has an incredible talent for enhancing your natural features, making you look like the most beautiful, glamorous version of yourself.
On the morning of my wedding, Carolina arrived early, bringing such a calm and relaxed energy that made the whole morning feel effortless. She allowed plenty of time for touch-ups and for the photographer to capture special getting-ready photos without anyone feeling rushed. On the wedding morning I pulled up pictures of my trial thinking Carolina would need a reminder of the look she created for my trial (as she deals with so many brides!) but she pulled out a notebook full of notes on the look, product used, etc.
I genuinely felt the most beautiful I've ever felt on my wedding day, thanks to Carolina. I can't recommend her highly enough. Thank you for making me feel beautiful on the most important day of my life. ❤️
