Carley is absolutely amazing! I have a very difficult hair type and really I have never liked my hair until Carley started doing it! She really listens to what you want and takes her time to make sure you are happy! She colors my hair and also did my hair for my wedding. I have never felt better or as pretty as I do when she gets her hands on my crazy curly mess of what some call hair read more

See all

I love Carley! I just recently took my first test shots for my new modeling agency. I was recommended by the photographer to ask Carley to be my Makeup Artist for the shoot. I did and l am so happy she was available on my short notice! From the start, I could tell she was going to be great to work with. She was very thorough in answering all my questions and trust me, I had a lot! She gave me the run down of everything I needed to know to be fully prepped for the shoot and I was more then prepared and confident when the day finally came! She was so fun to work with, extremely friendly and did an amazing job on my makeup and hair! I looked the best I have ever looked! I was 100% comfortable with her the whole time. She was creative with my hair styles & makeup and was always making sure that it looked the best it could. It was a windy/rainy day and she kept it looking great even with the conditions! I would highly recommend Carley to anyone who is looking for someone who is caring, friendly, very thorough and most importantly, going to make you look the best you ever have! read more

Carley is so incredibly talented. She not only met my expectations but EXCEEDED them. I showed her a picture of the color I was hoping to get and she nailed it. Not only nailed it but it looks so much better from what I was expecting. My hair is so soft and feels so healthy. I also enjoyed visiting with her and learning about her and how talented she is in so many other things. Thanks Carley! read more

Planning a wedding from a different state to where your getting married is stressful, especially on your look for that special day. Carley was extremely helpful through this process. If I had any questions, she would respond immediately and check in with me to see if there was anything else she can be a help in. Seriously, I've never met any makeup artist that is willing to get out of their way like she did. Since I was at a different state and wasn't be able to make it for a tryout make up/hair appointment, she aimed for the look that I was hoping to get. And she did a fantastic job! As a bride that morning I was so stressful but she brought so much light in the room interacting with my bridesmaid and family. If your looking for someone who does a good look and has a great personality, she's your girl! read more

Carley did my hair and makeup for my wedding earlier this month, and she, her assistant Jen, and her coordinator Breanne were a true joy to work with. I spent some time trying to find someone to do hair and makeup, and three different people flaked out on me in the middle of the process. I really wish I had contacted Carley sooner, because everything went completely perfectly. From first meeting with her at my trial I felt completely comfortable that she knew what she was doing. She is very personable and is great at explaining her process, why she uses what she uses, and asking lots of questions to make sure you are getting what you want. The day of the wedding, my mother in law, sister in law, and I showed up early, but Carley and Jen were there before we got there setting up. They had a long day of eight of us to do both hair and makeup on, but they smiled all the way through and did a fantastic job on everyone. I really cannot recommend her enough -- book her and you will not be disappointed! read more

Carley did my make up and hair for my engagement photo session in June 2011. She was such a friendly and amazingly talented girl. I called her on short notice, since my original engagement photo session was canceled due to bad weather. She was willing to help. She fit me into her busy schedule, even though she was busy, and already had scheduled to do make up for a whole wedding party and the bride earlier in the day. Carley saved my day!! She made my fiance and I feel right at home as soon as we arrived at the salon. We were chatting like we've been friends for a long time. I trusted her completely, so I told her to just do what she wants. She saw my dresses and did my make up. The make up and hair were perfect! I LOVED it so much. She made me pretty! :) Our photos turned out beautiful, thanks to Carley! :) Too bad I didn't have my wedding in the U.S, otherwise I would have wanted her to do my make up and hair for my wedding too. Anyways, CARLEY IS AWESOME!! Book her if you need your makeup and hair done! read more

Carley is super awesome! She did the hair and makeup for my sister's wedding this summer. She and her assistant who was there to help with hair (I can't recall her name but she was awesome too) were very friendly, professional, laid back and efficient. She listens to what you want and if you don't know and are up for anything, as I was, she does not disappoint. My mother had a completely random concern that her makeup was going to make her look like Madonna. But even my mother wanted to look like Madonna, Carley could have done it and made her look awesome. PS - my mom looked non-Madonna-like and awesome! I can't wait for a reason to use her again, like my wedding. Or a Tuesday... read more

Carley was my makeup and hair stylist for my wedding. She did an amazing job. I could not have hoped for a better artist. I looked pretty yet still natural, which was exactly what I was looking for. My hair and makeup stayed flawless all night! On top of her exceptional skills, Carley was really pleasant to work with and fun to talk with. I would highly recommend her without any reservations. She deserves a solid five-stars! Thank you, Carley! read more

Everyone was super happy with how their makeup turned out . Carley gave me a very natural look that I loved and the makeup lasted all day. On top of being amazing at what she does, Carley was sweet, fun loving and very easy to be around. I highly recommend her ! read more

Carley Martin - Makeup Artists Near Me - Prarie Village, Kansas

Carley is very personable and professional. It was easy to book the date and time with her via email. She arrived early and was totally prepared. Because our bride was coming from Korea, we didn't get to do any practice sessions. I had sent pictures to Carely of the brides preferences and she had them at her disposal with suggestions for what would look best. She even did brow shaping and just a few false eye lashes to complete the look. She had everything needed to make the bride look absolutely stunning. When the bride entered the church she was breath taking. read more

Carley did my hair and makeup for my wedding in June and I absolutely loved it. She did a great job of keeping the look natural and I never felt more beautiful! At the trial, she really listened to my thoughts and tailored the look to be exactly what I wanted. She also followed up after to see if there were any changes I wanted for the wedding day. She was always very responsive when I contacted her and her coordinator, Jackie, was very helpful. The day of the wedding we had 7 people getting hair / make up done and everything stayed on time. Not only did Carley do an amazing job on my hair and makeup, she was also very nice and friendly! I would definitely recommend Carley for hair and makeup! read more

Carley is a MASTER of her trade. I could not have been happier with mine and my sister's make up on my husband and I's big day. I'll be singing her praises forever! =) read more

Carly did my makeup for my maternity pictures. She was an absolute gem and did a fantastic job with my makeup and hair. She was very professional, courteous, and obviously knew what she was doing. What's more, she sent me an email post photo shoot to check-up on how my photo session went. I am really impressed with her level of professionalism and dedication to her clients. read more

Carly is AMAZING. So talented and knowledgeable. She can make anyone look like a star. She's got a fantastic eye for what will look good with your coloring and skin/hair type and the skills to make it happen. Plus she's fun, funny and professional. I'd recommend her for ANY special occasion - or just to make yourself feel special! read more

It would feel selfish to other brides not to share with you ladies how incredibly talented Carley Martin is! I'm quite particular about my hair and makeup and she completely listened to every single world I said and transformed me into a more beautiful bride than I could have ever imagined. I loved everything... my hair, my eyes, the way she made my complexion look flawless (and its definitely not). On top of it all, she is truly just a great, nice person... and understands brides (as she is one!). She isn't cheap, but her amazing talent is worth every penny! I would recommend her to anyone, for any event. read more

Ladies...look no further! Carley is your answer! She did my makeup for my 10/21/11 wedding and I felt exactly the way every bride should feel...like me, at my very best! She is gracious and warm and eager to please. I never had my make-up done prior to my trial with Carley so I was a terrified mess (poor Carley). And then I met her and all my fears were erased. Her goal is to make you happy while looking absolutely radiant. Her vision and talent truly make her the creme de la creme of her craft! read more

Carley is such an incredibly talented and sweet individual. I am grateful I was able to have her work her magic for my wedding party and myself. Since my wedding was out of the immediate KC metro area, I struggled to find an artist who could do both hair and makeup. However, when I found Carley on Yelp, I knew I had to book her right away. From the moment I booked a trial appointment with Carley, I knew that she was a true professional. She is not only gifted as an artist but she is so friendly and personable! In fact, one of my bridesmaids decided to become one of her clients since she was so impressed with her work. I like that fact that Carley listens to your ideas and customizes the look depending on what you feel comfortable with. Her co-artist, Erin, was just as friendly and professional too! Everyone commented on how stunning and natural the bridal party's hair and makeup looked. In addition, the makeup and hair lasted all day and night which really helped with the photography/videography. I would highly recommend Carley for any event as she is phenomenal! She is truly a five-star artist :-) read more

Carley did an amazing job doing my makeup for a wedding I attended. She was accommodating of my schedule, on time, and quick - she transformed my somewhat tired face into a lovely, fresh, sophisticated visage. She knows an incredible amount about makeup and is generally great to talk to. Would highly recommend! read more

I had never met Carley before, but read such gret things about her on Yelp that I decided to call her. She squeezed me in and made me look fabulous for a black tie event that I was going to. She explained what she was doing as she went along, and gave me tips too. I would highly recommend her! read more

Carley is the BEST! Im a professional model and Carley was the hair and makeup artist for a recent shoot. She not only was one of the most talented people I've ever worked with, but also one of the kindest. Such an absolutely amazing person who will put you at ease on whatever job she is working with you for. Also her vision and talent are at a level far above many I've seen and worked with in this industry. I'd recommend her for anything and can't wait to work with her again! read more

I've used Carley several times for hair and make up for various special occasions. She is not only prompt, professional and efficient but has become a great friend as well! She's always willing to listen to whatever ideas you have and then incorporate them into something amazing! Whenever I leave from getting my hair and make up done with her, I feel so great about myself and don't ever want it to come off!! She's truly one of a kind and I cannot think of ANYONE I'd trust more with hair and make up for a special day. She is just phenomenal! I have already recommended her to several friends of mine! read more

Carley is awesome at everything she does. I am always iffy about getting my make up done because I like a natural look but Carley has done my makeup for fun and for events and every time, I walk away glowing. She makes me look perfect and I get lots of compliments when I am out and about. I trust very few people to touch my eyebrows, but love it when she cleans me up. I haven't had my hair cut by Carley, but she has styled it and I always love my look when she is done. I recommend her to my friends all the time for fun, weddings, etc. read more

Carley is amazing! I could not have been happier with the way she did my hair and makeup for my bridal shower! She listens, and is so talented and passionate about what she does. She truly is one of a kind, and I'm so thankful I found her! She is also one of the sweetest people you will meet, and is so much fun to talk to while she is making you beautiful! read more

Carley worked her magic on me on several occasions, ranging from weddings to client dinners. Always made me feel and look great!

Carley is AMAZING! Doesn't get any better than her in my opinion. She did my makeup for my wedding and did all my bridesmaids who wanted their makeup and my mom and mother in law. She is the total package, she is professional, she listens to what look you are going for and does airbrush that basically gives you an enhanced beautiful version of yourself!! :) not only is she professional but she is sooo sweet and is fun to be around...and is definitely someone I'd want to use again sometime!! :) ill have to find a reason to get it done again of course :) All of my bridesmaids loved their makeup and couldn't say enough positive things about her!! A friend of mine also used her for her wedding. She is amazing....THE best! read more

I hired Carley Martin to do my hair and makeup for my wedding in May 2013. She came highly recommended to me by a friend who hired her for her wedding last year. Carley was an absolute delight to work with, and she is an incredibly talented professional. During my trial session with Carley, I showed her some pictures and described some ideas I had about the way I wanted to look on my wedding day. She nailed the look in just 1 try! I was sold and knew I had to have her help on my big day. I was absolutely thrilled with the final result. There are no words to describe how beautiful I felt on my wedding day, and I have Carley to thank for that! I loved the way I looked, and that translated to being a very confident bride. So many guests complimented my hair and makeup, and I have never felt more beautiful. I just reviewed proofs of my wedding photos, and they look fantastic. I wish I could have Carley work her magic on me everyday! She is the absolute best. read more

Carley did the hair and makeup for me and some others at my wedding in June - it was a great experience! One of the great things about Carley is that she will come to you. She came to the hotel we were staying at on the day of the wedding and did everyones hair and makeup there (which was great because it really cut down on the stress of the day because I didn't have to leave!) Also, I normally don't wear any makeup at all - I asked her to do something natural and I loved it! She is very talented at bringing out your best features and concealing anything you don't like. She is a really sweet person and very smart and it was fun to be around her. I HIGHLY recommend her for any reason at all that you might need hair and/or makeup done. Oh, and she was VERY reasonably priced. read more

Carley did my hair and make-up for my wedding, and I could not have been happier! We did a trial a few months before the wedding at her house, and it was SO easy. I told her what I was thinking, and she showed me what she could do. It took such little direction for her to know exactly what worked for my hair and makeup, and what didn't. I loved the end result. For my wedding day, she came prepared with photos of me during the trial, and a few tweaks too. Carley made me feel like she had studied my photos, and actually cared how I looked that day. She was extremely nice and funny to work with as well, and is at the top of my referral list to anyone who needs hair and makeup done in Chicago! read more

Carley is a joy to work with! I was looking for someone to do hair and makeup for my wedding and found Carley on yelp. Carley did my makeup for our engagement pictures and did an amazing job! She knows so much about skin types and knows how to accentuate your best features. She did individual lash extensions that were so lightweight I hardly knew they were there. From my first makeup session to the wedding hair and makeup trial to my wedding day, Carley was always so positive and professional yet made me feel so comfortable, which is so important during wedding planning! My hair doesn't normally hold curl very well, but Carley worked her magic and my hair held its curl for 12 hours on my wedding day with no touch ups needed! I received numerous compliments on my hair and makeup on my wedding day and really felt special with the work Carley did. If I ever need any hair or makeup done in the future, I will definitely be using Carley! read more

I recently had Carley do my make up and hair for a photo shoot for various uses. I first looked at her website, and I really liked that her work was beautiful but to take her canvas' individuality into account, and the looks she achieved were quite polished but also natural. I felt a little nervous because I'd had make up done professionally before and felt that I looked like Joel Grey in Cabaret afterward. Not the case with Carley. She put me totally at ease and helped me to relax for the shoot as well. She was respectful when I told her that I'd prefer not to use eyelashes because I thought I'd feel too self-consious. She went above and beyond for me, helping me choose lipsticks from my own stash for touch ups, and a powder for a touch up later if I needed it after she left. She asked questions, answered mine, and when I saw my photos, I knew I had chosen the right artist. She turned me into the best self I could possibly have hoped to see. She made all the difference to the final photos. I felt that she made me ... beautiful. I highly recommend her. I hope someday to have another occasion for which I can treat myself to her assistance, and if I do, I hope that she can fit me in! Carley is fantastic! read more
