I can't imagine a better hair and makeup artist to have as a part of our wedding day than Rachael. She did my hair and makeup in addition to my mom's and my MIL's, and we all coul...
dn't stop talking about how beautiful and confident we felt!
She did an amazing job of listening to what we all wanted and executed it better than we could have imagined. I don't typically wear a lot of makeup, and she did an excellent job of keeping things light, yet glam. Also - my hair and makeup withstood an entire evening and afterparty of dancing and crying. I put it to the test - trust me.
She also brought such a calming, fun energy to the day - something that's definitely valued amongst all the chaos of the day.

we would be getting ready until the day before and she was very laid back and easy about that), brought all of the necessary equipment, did an amazing job, had tons of experience (coming from years doing make up for a news network) and (icing on the cake) was incredibly nice and funny (so much so we want to invite her out for a drink the next time we are passing through Salida)! We truly can't rave about Rachael enough - we looked gorgeous and had fun doing it!

yone else's, so I am a tough critic. Rachael is really talented and did an amazing job on hair and makeup for myself and several people in my bridal party.

eup for a wedding this past weekend - I was a bridesmaid. I am a makeup hound, while the other ladies, including the bride wear little to no makeup. She made each and every one of us look GORGEOUS and kept it to the level we were comfortable with wearing. I threw caution to the wind and did smoky eyes with a few eylashes added and wow! Everone's hair and makeup was flawless. The best part was that it felt like we had a 4th bridesmaid in the room as we all laughed and joked - totally comfortable. I could not recommend her services more highly!
Rachel did the hair and makeup for the entire wedding party, and everyone looked amazing. Rachel was prompt, put everyone at ease, kept to the schedule, but most of all made every...

I loved my makeup on my wedding day and received fabulous compliments from my guests all evening long! Rachael definitely made me feel like a princess! My bridesmaids also got the...
ir makeup done by Rachael and they were also impressed with her makeup style. She does a fabulous job of making you look like a super star but without caking pounds of makeup on your face. I highly recommend hiring Rachael for your makeup! Not only is she talented but she is one of the sweetest people I have ever met!
