Carissa is an amazing makeup artist and hair stylist! We met connected through Instagram and she was able to help one of my brides at the last minute with hair and makeup! We had only planned on makeup, but Carissa was able to step in and help with both areas and the client looked stunning!

EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTING....I hired Carissa's service for my bridal party. She was not available so she said she is sending her "senior artist", Deleana along with another assistant. The hair and makeup were supposed to be done by the senior artist but on the day she delegated it to Madison, who struggled so much even with the basic skills. They arrived at 8 am and were supposed to finish by 2-2:30 pm. She was struggling to even hold the brush and left all my bridal party makeup incomplete, non of the lips were done, no contouring, no concealer. Upon raising the concern to her, she said she is gonna finish the makeup when she does the touchups. However, instead of finishing her work, she left around noon (2 and half hours before the contract time) stating she is gonna be late for her second job. she could not even start my mother's hair (mother of the bride) and my mother was rushed to be done 5 min before the 2:30 deadline when the photography team had already arrived. As stylists, they did not even have any blow dryer and blow dryer brush with them to style medium and short hairs, only iron and heart curler. This is in spite of the fact that I had requested an alternative to iron and heat curler. My due date for the remaining balance was 8/11 (my wedding day). Then Carissa, who supposedly was not available for that day, showed up at my wedding venue( which was a private house) while my husband and I were in a photo shoot and started demanding the remaining of her payment right away. She went as far as demanding my mother to bring my cellphone and unlock it so she can pay herself and when my mother resisted she kept asking my mother to accept the Venmo payments on my behalf f me. She kept pushing for it to the point that my mother had to ask her to leave the premises to de-escalate. You think she stopped there right? NO, then she started bombarding us with email after email demanding us to "TURN OF PURCHASES AND SERVICES" on Venmo and asking for more money. If you turn off that option you will be losing your right to pursue your purchased service if you encounter any issues with this vendor. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS VENDOR
