His skills are unparalleled - he knows exactly the type of makeup and colors to use based on your face/shape/needs. The way he applies makeup is so gentle yet with the right touch because it stayed put all day and night (through dancing and all) which is super rare for my face/past makeup experiences. He also has an extensive knowledge of the beauty space so if you need recommendations even beyond makeup - he's your guy. He's always so accommodating and is such a pleasure to be around. I could sit in the makeup chair all day with his energy!

I mean really I could not have asked for better. We had a lot of different people with different skin tones and unique skin needs and everyone was so happy with his work. My makeup not only was exactly what I was wanting but *did not budge* and this was traditional makeup (not airbrush). Beyond that he's just a pleasure to work with, super friendly but also very professional. Cannot recommend him enough!

If you want to overdo makeup like most artists do (aka, Kim Kardashian style) then look else where.

Similar to the interior design and namesake of Layla's Blush Room, the work and art created at this studio is one of a kind and client centered. I have had her work at my wedding and baby shower.

Karisa did the makeup for myself, 6 bridesmaids, and my mom on the day of my wedding. Everyone…read moreabsolutely loved her!! All of our makeup looked awesome, and everyone was so, so happy with the way that they looked, including one of my bridesmaids that normally never wears makeup. Before she started, she asked everyone want they wanted done, and made sure you were happy with the way looked before she moved on to the next girl. She stayed until we were about to leave for the church, applying last minute touch ups to anyone that wanted one. Even my photographer stopped at one point to tell my how good my makeup was turning out in the pictures he was taking. He said that it's really hard to find a makeup artist that applies makeup that shows up well in HD pictures, and that Karisa's was some of the best he'd seen. I am SO happy I went with Karisa for my wedding makeup, and wish that I could have her to keep, so that I could have her apply makeup whenever I wanted :o)

Choosing a hair and makeup team for our multi-day Indian wedding was a daunting task, but after…read morepouring through portfolios with my sister, CBA was an easy decision. Romelia's clients' skin looked incredible and glowing; while Nina showcased incredible braids and updos with client's naturally curly hair. Even before the trials, Alisa was incredibly helpful and guided me through recommended skin prep and helped me decide which hair extensions to get for a Hollywood wave hairstyle. Nina and Romelia were extremely helpful during my trials, helping me experiment and perfect all my looks for four separate events. This continued during the wedding week itself where both worked diligently to make me look and feel beautiful. They also did a fantastic job with the groom, and even if that is not the first thing people consider when selecting hair and make-up, I would not overlook it. They also followed us to each venue to help with touch-ups throughout the week, helping fix hair and makeup for not just us but our family as well. They are fun and warm people, taking away all the stress of getting ready and letting me relax. The rest of the team was incredible as well, with a special shout out to Shrini, who helped with draping and pinning my bridal veil. We had multiple family members comment on how thankful they were that we hired CBA to help take away all the stress of getting ready for them. We are very thankful as well and would highly recommend CBA to anyone looking for hair and make-up for their wedding.

We were cancelled by the company after complaining about the level of service we were provided and the full amount of what had been paid was retained by the company and refused for refund after this horrific experience. This company failed to act in the best interest of us (the client) and utilized business practices that were not advertised when we signed on with them to take advantage of our trusting nature which resulted in us having to hire a new hair stylist which was not budgeted for. Absolutely horrific experience, its sad to see a company take advantage of an industry that is supposed to make people feel special and appreciated on their big day.
