Carla's Salon is the Bay Area's only fully-licensed, full-service beauty salon for the transgender community. Carla brings together all the services you need to be beautiful. You can get your wigs styled or washed, or have your own hair shampooed, cut, trimmed, styled or permed. Get a manicure, pedicure, your arms or eyebrows waxed, or your ears pierced. Carla carries a full range of beauty products, including beard cover, foundation, lipstick and lip liner, mascara, eyeliner, and blush.



A makeover by Carla is a wonderful way to begin a night on the town, or to get ready for a party at Carla's—and it's also a wonderful way to treat yourself when you just want to feel pretty. Carla is famous for the fresh, passable look she creates in her makeovers. You'll never look lovelier. Carla also offers Private Makeovers (by appointment only) and individualized makeup lessons.


If you'd like a makeover, Carla asks that you make an appointment at least a day in advance. Please phone Carla at (408) 298-6900, or email her at carla@carlas.com. She can sometimes take walk-ins—but if you possibly can, please make an appointment.

Makeovers by Carla are $65.00 if you bring your own clothes, and $110.00 if you wear clothing from Carla's. makerovers our done Tue, Wed, Thur,Fri, Sat






Makeup Lessons

Carla will teach you how to apply your makeup, how to choose colors that flatter your complexion, and how to use makeup to accentuate your good features and to play down your not-so-good features. A makeup lesson lasts for one hour. Please contact Carla for pricing.


You must make a $25 deposit when you book your makeover. The deposit is non-refundable, and will be deducted from the cost of your makeover.


Carla uses her own makeup for all her makeovers. If you don't have a wig, Carla will supply one. You will receive four digital pictures of your makeover on CD. Please note: if Carla supplies your clothing, you cannot leave the shop. Carla doesn't rent clothing.
