Not just for brides!

This past Sunday, a couple of ladies of CTBT went to help a young lady with her graduation looks. Mi "Sophia" was graduating from nursing school. Her family lives in Dallas Tx and owns their own company. Unfortunately, Mi's family couldn't make it up to see this wonderful day.  Since this would be one of the last times that her and her classmates would be together, she wanted to make herself up right. After doing a little search on the internet, Mi ended up finding the ladies of CTBT to be a very reasonable price, and loved the fact we would travel to her apartment to do her hair and makeup for this event.

We have noticed that a lot of the traveling makeup artists, or hairstylist, have a minimum of 3-4 people before they will come to you. Not us! We want to help as many people as we can, even if it's just one at a time.

Not only did we get to travel for this graduation, we sent out 6 ladies to do manicures at the Limited Corporation (Victoria Secret) to help the ladies of the company enjoy their employee appreciation week there with our manicurist. We also sent a nail professional to help a lady's home who has troubles going into a lot of nail salon, or even the normal salons due to the smell, as her treat from her boyfriend for Valentines Day.

We like to think of ourself as that company that likes to think outside of the box, and always willing to help those that could use a little extra beauty in their lives.

Congrats to Mi, and good luck at boards!

Jamie's beautiful wedding

Saturday might have been a bit chilly, but it didn't stop our beautiful bride Jamie from getting married. She looked so beautiful in her gown. All of her bridesmaids looked stunning in their champaign colored dresses. All wearing different hairstyles done by CTBT's founder and hairstylist Christine Carpenter.

Christine did a total of 6 ladies that day, all under 3 1/2 hours. The ladies all had a basic idea of what they wanted, and then the magic started. All of the ladies enjoyed getting their hair and makeup done at the hotel where they were staying. And couldn't believe the quality of the work we had done.

Nicole Pisanelli was the makeup artist on Saturday. She also had done all the ladies, with the looks they wanted. She had the most fun with the bride. When they had originally done the trial on the bride, they had a pretty common look. BUT on the day of the wedding, the bride decided to go a lot more dramatic. More of a look red carpet look. All I can say is Nicole really knew what she was doing. Jamie looked amazing. 

All we can say now, is "WOW!!!" and "Congrats to Jamie and Tim!!"

Busy November

Busy month! We've already had at least one wedding every weekend this month, along with a military ball and a fashion show. We will be looking at updating on here a little more (our new years promise).

Next week brings a job for 5 makeup artists heading out to the Victoria Secret home office to do makeup on the ladies of the corporate office for their launch party of the show, coming out that evening. Should be lots of fun! Can't wait to share some more!

Preparing for some fun!

At CTBT we are looking at a very early start for our ladies. We have a couple of weddings that we are doing, as of right now but ready for others. Both parties are starting at 6:00 am. All I can say is that is one (actually two) brides that are excited about getting married. I would also say, I guess we love doing hair and makeup so much for brides, we will do whatever it takes!

Our 2 day wedding event

Friday was the actual wedding, then on Sunday we did the big reception. We really enjoyed helping her and the rest of the close friends/ family out. On day one I, Christine Carpenter, was only supposed to be doing the brides hair, then her friend loved the way the bride looked that she wanted to get her hair done.

On Sunday I was on my way down to do the brides hair (the only one scheduled) and I receive a call asking if I could do 3-4 more ladies. I said sure I could. The next thing I know, I end up doing a total of 8 people. Everyone had such nice hair, and most was very long. We did a lot of half up, half down styles. I completed everyone in a total of 4 1/2 hours. 

My motto is "Always willing to help" and "go above and beyond"

Totally Steampunk!

A little Victorian with futuristic time travel makes up a little Steampunk fun. Malory wanted to bring a little excitement to her wedding and show everyone just how much fun her and her now husband can be. They all dressed up in Steampunk fashions while they tied the knot. Then when they went to their reception they had added the masquerade part. Their mask was a little Halo, how they met playing the game online. 

Well, Jessica Lape, Christine Carpenter, and Lindsay Remley all helped make the party all pretty for the day. If you are into the Steampunk fun, we can help you, also.

Homecoming Girls, we are ready for you!

        School has started, Football is going on, and the weather is has started turning colder, this only means one thing. Yes, it's when young couples get all dressed up to go out to homecoming dances. 

        Ladies have started going out to buy their dress, accessories, and pick out which friends will be hanging out for the dance. Now that is left to do is book your appointment for hair and makeup. 

         How would you like to make the day even more fun? Start your party hanging out with your friends and getting hair and makeup done by a group of professionals. We will come to one house to do a minimum group of 4 ladies getting hair and makeup done for $100* per person. If anyone wants to get their hair done only it's $60* per lady.

         *Rates are higher for parties less than 4. If you all would like to come to our different locations to do your hair, we can arrange for that also.

These are some of the ladies we have done in the past, let us help you look just as beautiful!
