    Absolutely incredible!!

    8 years ago when I graduated high school, Carla did my hair and makeup for my senior pictures and my mom and I both agreed that day whenever I got married, we would definitely have her do my hair and makeup for my wedding. Fast forward to July 2022 when I got engaged…Carla was the FIRST person we reached out to! I cannot express how amazing she is to work with. From her communication skills, to her INCREDIBLE talent, I truly can’t recommend her enough. Carla knows how to make you feel your most beautiful, authentic, natural self as a bride. She made the hair and makeup process for my mom, my bridesmaids and I so much fun. Rest assured she truly knows best- I told her “just do whatever you think will look best!” and she absolutely NAILED it! Carla, Thank you from the bottom of my heart for making me feel like such a beautiful, confident and natural bride. ❤️

    The Best HMU Artist!

    Carla is the BEST! All of the bridesmaids, mothers, & I LOVED our hair and makeup. Our hair stayed all day long. Our makeup was unique to each of us & Carla listened to what each woman wanted. She has the best energy and was such a great addition to our wedding morning/getting ready experience. Cannot recommend her enough!

    Beautiful Hair and Makeup

    Carla did a phenomenal job on me and my bridesmaid's hair and makeup! She is willing to travel anywhere and she came right to the rental house we were staying at and was able to complete hair and makeup for a total of 4 people in about 4 hours. She is very kind and offers her professional opinion that is tailored to each client. The makeup looked natural but had excellent coverage that photographed very well. Our hair held all day and never felt like it was coming loose or was going to fall out. The price was very reasonable for the services we received. Pricing was based on each individual, so she is a great option whether you are having a big or small wedding. Would highly recommend Carla to any bride!

    Steel Magnolias

    I had always dreamed of the back of my hair looking like Julia Roberts in Steel Magnolias and I never shared this with anyone so I was very pleased when several people said your hair is gorgeous looks like Shelby’s in Steel Magnolia’s.

    Felt beautiful on a beautiful day!

    After searching high and low for months for a HMUA for my big day, I was so lucky to find Carla and so grateful that she was available! Carla struck the perfect balance between accommodating my vision and using her professional opinion and talent to make sure I felt beautiful on my wedding day. She's super easy to talk to, efficient, and did an amazing job on both my and my wedding party's hair and makeup. Thank you so much!

    Everything Spectacular!

    Words can’t describe how wonderful it was to have Carla as my makeup artist and hair stylist for my wedding day. I decided to have my makeup and hair professionally done two months prior to my wedding - which, in the wedding world, is a short amount of time. Truly no exaggeration, I reached out to over 20 hair stylists and makeup artists within a 40-mile radius searching not only for someone available to begin with, but also willing to travel to the remote town of my wedding venue (my in-laws’ home) in Marshville. Then I hit the goldmine and found Carla. Even from our initial communication, it was clear I found the perfect match (not to mention her sweet, yet professional, personality).

    As I was planning my wedding from over 2,000 miles away in Arizona, I wasn’t able to participate in a trial hair and makeup session. However, Carla’s website and Instagram had me far from concerned about her talent come wedding day. Instead, to maintain clear communication I send Carla photos of myself, my mom and my flower girl so she had a better idea on the hair type, complexion, age, etc. she would be working with. I also pulled a classic bride move and sent Carla inspiration photos from Pinterest.

    Wedding day, Carla arrived before her scheduled time, set up her organized station quickly and was ready to beautify us. The experience in my moments with Carla while getting ready were so special and will forever remain one of my favorite wedding memories. Carla, myself, my mom and my sister-in-law all had a wonderful time chatting, laughing and even sharing past life experiences. It was like we had known her for years. She was timely and efficient in providing her expert services, which greatly helped ease my anxiety. Also worth mentioning: even with her outstanding skills, she was very reasonable.

    The final result of Carla’s work was just perfection and numerous people confirmed that sentiment with compliments during the wedding. My hair and makeup lasted all night (even with the humidity of that day!). I don’t think I will ever feel as beautiful as I did on my wedding day, but I’m so thankful I have Carla to thank for that.

    Super fun and excellent service

    My bridesmaids, mother, and I all had our hair and makeup done by Carla and one of her assistants. We absolutely LOVED our looks. I've never felt more beautiful and I thank her so much.

    Absolutely perfect

    Carla is so sweet, talented, and easy going. She made sure to keep us on schedule for my large bridal party & did an absolutely amazing job with everyone’s hair as well as my hair & makeup. Her classic style was exactly what I was looking for on my day. Thank you Carla!!

    Find you a Carla!

    I had a less than ideal experience with a different hair and makeup artist during my first trial for my wedding. To put it mildly, I knew immediately she was not my person. Shortly after deciding to go a different direction and after postponing my wedding, Carla saved the day! Carla was amazing. I had two different trials with her before my wedding. The first trial she spent so much time getting to know me and my style and making me feel comfortable and beautiful. After the first trial I decided to have a second trial to perfect the look for my special day. She knocked it out of the park! I loved it! She was so kind and responsive to my critiques. As if I hadn’t already sprung a rescheduled wedding and two different trials on her, the weather on the wedding day was not conducive to the look we had “perfected.” I was so upset but Carla so easily, and on the fly, switched things up so I felt as beautiful as I felt before even though it was not the look I had “planned.”
    Find you a Carla. Seriously. You won’t regret having someone like Carla in your corner for any occasion, particularly your wedding day.

    Carla and her team made us look fabulous. She was a pleasure to work with in planning for the day. We had a wonderful trial and felt so good about hair and makeup for the bride, which made us so relaxed the day of the wedding. The team arrived perfectly on time and had a very realistic schedule. They allowed for plenty of time for all the little things that tend to happen. We finished in great time and our hair and makeup lasted perfectly all day. All the girls were so pleased with their looks. They all looked fantastic. Awesome experience!

    Engagement Shoot hair & make-up!

    Carla did an amazing job with my hair and makeup for my engagement shoot today! I have had to previously reschedule with her due to weather conflicts and she was flexible and worked with me each step of the way. She always responded to my emails in a timely manner and offered up her help throughout the entire process. If my wedding was not in NJ I would easily hire her for my special day because I trust that she would do a phenomenal job. She is professional and very easy to talk to! I would highly recommend hiring her for your special day. Thank you Carla!

    She could do celebrity hair and makeup

    Our wedding venue recommended Carla to me-his recommendation was "Judging by your natural look, your tight timeline, if you want the best-it is Carla White." He was not wrong. Her style is elegant not overdone, and she kept my bridal party and me in line to keep up with our timeline. She brought her partner and also an assistant, traveled to our venue, and was very professional throughout the entire process. We chatted several times before the big day, because logistics were involved since I had 2.5 hours and there were 8 of us to style (hair and makeup). I have no idea how she finished in time, but everyone looked amazing! My updo held up through an entire day/night of dancing and my makeup was flawless. I will wait for professional photos to share, because they are necessary to get a full effect of how great everyone looked. I highly recommend Carla, because your wedding day should be drama free, time is of the essence, and everyone needs to look great. She handles all of this!!!

    Many people in the wedding/event world told me I would love working with Carla White. She was well recommended, highly thought of, and raved about by many. Now I know why! I am her new biggest fans! She made me feel like the prettiest bride in the world- she also made my girl gang super HOT! She was fun, energetic, hilarious, honest, and reliable. If you second guess anything- don’t let it be your hair and makeup. Email Carla today… she books up quick!

    Carla is a hair and makeup GENIUS!!! I was so nervous about having my hair done for my wedding because my hair is short, fine and thin, and I wanted a big updo….which I figured would be near impossible. I showed up to my trial with a vague description of what I wanted but no specific idea, and Carla created the most amazing look, better than I could have imagined!! My wedding hair and makeup were both flawless, I got so many compliments and loved feeling so beautiful and confident on my wedding day. Plus, both my hair and makeup lasted over 14 hours, surviving the snow/sleet and even a round of basketball at 1 AM after the wedding, with no touch ups needed! Carla did a fabulous job on my bridesmaids’ hair and makeup as well. The time completely flew by because she is so fun to talk to! I am so ecstatic that Carla was available for my wedding and would recommend her to absolutely anyone!! She is amazing.

    Thanks so much for your kindness Jennifer!! This made my day, and I was so honored to beautify you for your big day! Blessings!

    Carla was incredible!!! I got married this past weekend at Castle McCulloch in Jamestown, NC. She was so great about being honest with what would work with my hair and let me tell you she knows her stuff! I have pretty thin but really curly hair, which can be relatively difficult to work with. I got so many compliments from everyone in attendance. Her team also did all of my girls (6 bridesmaids, MOB and MOG) AND we didn't have to start at 6 AM which, if you've started looking at different vendors happens. Carla and her team had everyone's hair and makeup done within 4 hours! If you're getting married in the area I highly recommend Carla!

    Carla White's reply:

    Thanks Molly!! I really appreciate your kind words!! You and your ladies were a JOY to work with!! Many Blessings!

    Carla and Angela were complete dreamboats. They spent five hours on-site doing incredible vintage hair and makeup looks for my mom, six bridesmaids, and me. I was nervous about finding someone who would "get" our retro vibe for the wedding, and Carla was totally on board-- she was also super helpfully honest about what would look best on each person according to their eye shape, skin type, hair type, etc. To a person, my bridal party was SO. GORGEOUS. and they all LOVED how they looked. Carla and Angela interpreted our vintage vibe while still making each bridal party member look exactly how she wanted to look, and they were super flexible about making adjustments as we went along. Before she left for the day, Carla showed my MOH how to fix my hair throughout the night and checked back in with my bridal party to make sure no one else needed touch-ups or hairspray. To top it all off, she was lovely to hang out with and blended right in with my loud and wacky crew. Thanks again, Carla!

    Thank you so much Erin! We had a blast and it THRILLS me to hear how much everyone LOVED they looks we created! Congrats again!!

    I was a bridesmaid for one of my best friends. Her wedding had a 60s theme and Carla and Angela were there to do makeup and hair, respectively. First, they were on-time and so professional, but also just fabulously down to earth and friendly. We were trying not to take ourselves too seriously and have a fun morning, and they contributed immensely to that. All of us (6 bridesmaids, the bride, and the bride's mother) got airbrushing (so natural looking!!) and a fabulous 60s do of our choosing. Both Anglea and Carla were so FAST and so so beautiful. Each of us had a different 60s look, and Anglea was able to go with the flow immediately and do justice to the photos we showed her. Carla took all of our "we want to look natural" instructions and did that, but with a fancy flare. We couldn't have been happier with our looks. It was the first wedding I was a part of where I got to feel as glamorous as the bride and was able to have so much fun. If I'm ever back in Charlotte or Greensboro (or know friends who are doing events) I would recommend Carla without hesitation. Totally worth every penny!

    Wow! Thanks for the kind words Franny! It was such a pleasure meeting you! I wish you the best of luck with officiating weddings!!

    Carla did an absolutely fabulous job for us at my sister's wedding. She was flexible, delightful, and professional. The wedding had a "60s vibe" which she jumped all over and did an amazing job creating. All of our hair and makeup fit perfectly with the vibe, while preserving each woman's unique style. She truly cared that each of us felt beautiful. Would highly, highly recommend Carla for your event!

    She was awesome, super accommodating and flexible, willing to come to the park we had wedding in and get me ready in a shelter. I know it was not easy to get me ready outside with high humidity, but she did great and I felt special for my wedding day. Thank you so much Carla

    I cannot say enough great things about Carla White! She is simply the best. My bridesmaids' hair and makeup was nothing short of perfection. Everyone looked absolutely flawless and she made sure everyone was completely in love with the way they looked. I have never felt more beautiful than I did on my wedding day. My makeup was so glamorous and actually stayed on ALL NIGHT. Carla created exactly what I asked for in a hairstyle and nailed it. I would highly recommend Carla for wedding day hair and makeup. Rest assured you will receive a highly quality, professional finished product!

    I booked Carla for my wedding hair and make up trial, as well as for myself and my sister on my wedding day. She was fabulous. She was extremely responsive to communication and flexible. I had a small vision for myself but nothing too specific and she was able to use what little input I gave her to create the most beautiful look. All night my guests were saying how amazing my and and my sister's hair and makeup looked. She arrived on time and was efficient in her work, as well as a great conversationalist. My sister and I were very sorry we had to take out our hair and wash our faces, we were so in love with our looks. I would recommend her to anyone!
