Beauty & The Blush

What an amazing and talented team! She was very receptive and professional in communications and was kind and flexible when making changes due to coronavirus. She did makeup for my friends and I for our graduation and I couldn’t have hoped for better. She was so much fun to spend the morning with and made everyone look like the superstar version on themselves. I was so glad she was able to make me look so glamorous, yet still look like myself. She was willing to troubleshoot and try different things if someone was uncertain of exactly the style they wanted. Would highly recommend and hope to use her team again in the future.

MY GIRL RAYVEN! You will be so happy with yourself if you book Rayven and her team! I went into my hair and makeup trial with her and brought a few pictures but mostly just verbalized what look I was going for. She asked to see details such as my dress and my overall aesthetic to really capture what I was envisioning for my wedding day look. My trial was great! We laughed and talked is if we had known each other for longer than an hour. Afterwards she took photos and told me to let her know throughout the day how everything was wearing and what changes I wanted. I had a few and she was so open and accepted them easily! Before my wedding I wanted to do another hair trial because I added a hair piece and she accommodated the request ASAP as well as did a tutorial for one of my bridesmaids on how to put my hair up easily for the reception after the ceremony. GAME CHANGER! On my wedding day we had 13 people get their hair and make up done and everyone was stunning. The style for my day was basically "yourself but better!" It was classic, timeless, and at the end of the night my makeup still looked flawless! Book Rayven today and you will not regret it!

You will not regret working with Rayven on your wedding day. She came highly recommended to me and the moment I met her, I knew she was the perfect HMU artist. She was able to interpret my pictures/jumbled words into the hair and makeup that I was hoping for! She was so fun to work with and I will be looking for excuses to have her do my hair and makeup again!

Rayven and her team were super great! They came on time and got everybody’s hair and makeup done super quickly! All the bridesmaids looked super gorgeous with their makeup and hair done! I personally loved how my hair and makeup turned out and got lots of compliments! Would 110% recommend hiring Beauty and the Blush!

Rayven did a fantastic job, and made me, my bridesmaids, my mom, and mother-in-law feel SO beautiful!! She really listens to your vision and has a talent for making it happen almost effortlessly! My skin is sensitive and does weird things, but she knew exactly what to use on it for my wedding day! My hair and make up lasted all night no problem! She also shows you off and says how beautiful you are on her instagram, and I mean who doesn’t love that?!

We hired Rayven based on her beautiful hair & make-up photos in hopes to get the same result, and we got that and so much more! I first met Rayven at her studio for my beauty trial and she took so much time and care into perfecting my look! I have had experiences with other hair & makeup professionals and was disappointed when they put colors on me that didn't work with my skin tone, but not Rayven. I loved every element of it, but one of my favorite qualities of Rayven is that she made it so comfortable for me to provide my feedback and insisted that she wanted to know because she wanted me to be happy with it. She certainly had no intention of rushing the process. I was so happy with it, but she also recommended wearing the hair and make up for the day and then to send her with feedback after living with it for a while which was so helpful and made me feel so comfortable that my look would last the whole evening. When Rayven and her team showed up on the wedding day, I felt calm seeing a familiar face. She handled so many questions and requests from my friends and family with a smile on her face, we all felt that she truly was there to make sure everyone looked and felt beautiful, including my grandmother who wanted to get her hair and makeup done for the first time. The most meaningful thing that Rayven provided for me was peace of mind. Occasionally, she would quietly ask “you ok?”, and when she did, I could tell that she could see in my face that I was getting overwhelmed with the hustle and excitement of the day. Her question reminded me to breathe and be present and mindful on my special day, which as all brides know, can be difficult but is so, so important. That simple question was a gentle reminder that I couldn’t be more thankful for and truly sets Rayven apart, aside from her incredible talent for hair and makeup. Thank you so much Rayven for what you do, you’re simply the best!

Rayven is amazzzzzing! Had so much fun getting my hair and makeup done for my portraits and on the big day. She is so talented at what she does and listens to every word you say. I showed her a picture of what I was thinking and she made my final look even better. Thanks Rayven :)

From our first meeting for hair and makeup trial to the final touches on my wedding day, Rayven is truly amazing! Rayven is kind, understanding and so fun to work with. I loved that after our trial, she requested that I type up any little details about the look I may want to change on the big day so that we could achieve exactly what I envisioned. I felt almost nit-picky at the time but I am so happy she was able to adjust the look so that it was exactly how I wanted for the big day. We went with a very light airbrush that lasted ALL day, from 10:30AM application to our final sendoff at 11:00PM! I loved how natural the makeup was, and the tiny eyelashes she applied gave me just the right amount of glam. I truly felt like the best version of myself on this day and my hair and makeup look 100% contributed to that. Thank you so much Rayven!!

Rayven and her team did wedding hair/makeup for my bridesmaids, my mom, my husband's mom, and me. I would definitely recommend her to anyone!! I've never felt more beautiful than I felt on my wedding day, and that's largely thanks to Rayven and her ability to make my vision a reality! She’s SO good at what she does, and you can be assured that your hair and makeup will look AMAZING if she’s doing it. She's also very patient and if at any point you want her to change/tweak anything she does it graciously. On my wedding day, I definitely wanted calm, positive people around as I got ready, and she was absolutely wonderful!

Rayven did an AMAZING job for both mine and my bridesmaids hair and makeup on my wedding day. I told her what I was looking for and she created a look that was perfectly me. Also, my hair and makeup looked flawless for over twelve hours!!! She is such an amazing stylist, do not pass her up! Also, her studio is adorable.

I can't say enough good things about Rayven. How talented is this lady?! She does beautiful hair and stunning makeup. It's just magic. She is also incredibly hard-working. She was due a couple weeks after my wedding yet put in about 4 hours on her feet making sure me, the bridesmaids, and the moms looked fantastic. I was in awe. As a vendor, I found Rayven to be very responsive, enthusiastic, and easy to work with. She's worth every penny, and I whole-heartedly recommend her.

Loved was wonderful

We are so pleased with Beauty & the Blush. Rayven is so sweet, and really listens to the type of look you are going for. She more than exceeded my expectations! She came to the hotel to do my hair & makeup, as well as hair & makeup for my bridesmaids and my mothers, for my wedding last month. It is safe to say that she completely transformed us - and we loved the airbrush makeup! Would highly recommend to anyone!

Rayven took her time and listened to me when I had my consultation and bridal session. After the bridal session I sent her a detailed list of what I wanted worked on. I really felt confident working with her because she made me feel confident about her making me look great on my big day. Unfortunately, the day of the wedding I truly felt that she rushed through my hair and makeup. She wanted to take on 7 girls and brought one assistant to help her with a few girls' hair. Every time I came back to ask her to fix something I felt like she just did it really fast and was annoyed. My bridesmaids were also coming up to her because they found little things they did not like. At the end she was in a rush to leave and 3 girls commented that she forgot to put their lipstick on and her response was a deep breath and "I'm going to be late for my next appointment". I don't understand why she would have another appointment after a full day like the one we had. So as I look through pictures and watch my video I get sad because I did not look my best. My makeup wore off, my hair fell out and was not styled exactly as it was requested from the bridals. Some of the girls lashes came off and they were not happy with their hair and makeup either. It makes me sad to say that I did not feel as though I looked the best I could the night of my wedding (which is SO important for a bride!). I really felt as though she rushed through everything and did not give me the attention and detail I deserved.

Rayven is amazing and will make you look the best you have ever looked. She only does airbrushing makeup so be prepared to pay a bit more then traditional make up. She is well worth it and her team is just as talented. She is very flexible and will give group discounts for services. Just be sure to keep track of your deposits and payments since she is a one person business. There were times when I had to go back and look at my emails to see what my balance was but she was fair and did not try to take more then what was owed. Very honest and sweet as pie!

I was referred to Rayven by a friend to do my makeup, bridesmaids, and mom. I am so glad I found her because she did an amazing job! Not only did she do amazing airbrush makeup, she did all of our hair as well. Such a sweet and beautiful person inside and out. It was great having someone so nice and laid back with us all day! She definitely listens to what YOU want as the bride. I feel that I looked like myself and exactly how I wanted on my wedding day and I would not have had that without Rayven!!

rayven is SO good at what she does! she wants you to feel comfortable in your own skin on your big day. she was willing to meet me SUPER early to get me looking good for our morning wedding. she's the best! use her!
