Rachael was a dream to work with and everything I could have asked for in a hair & makeup stylist! She was punctual, organized, and very talented. She clearly listened to my vision...
and executed it flawlessly. On top of that, she’s an amazing person and a pleasure to talk to on your big day. Do yourself a favor and book Rachael!
I was so stressed out about how my face and hair were going to turn out as well as my bridesmaids faces/hair since all my other trials failed. Racheal did an incredible job. My mak...
eup lasted even through the tears and my hair lasted through the nasty wind. I absolutely adored her as well. She is so kind and drove all the way to riverside for me. I highly recommend her!!!!!! You won’t regret it!!!!
I got lucky on this stressful part of the wedding with finding a hair and makeup artist. It just so happened to be that Rachel is my cousin. I knew living in different states would...
be hard especially to have a trial run but I trusted her. The only thing I had to do was send her a few Pinterest ideas months before the wedding and she blew it out of the water with what I wanted. She really has a love for doing hair and makeup and for that I am thankful it took one less task off my plate for my wedding day.
Rachael is amazing! Shes been doing my hair for the last 7 years so she’s an obvious choice for all the weddings I’ve gone to. She’s done my hair and makeup for multiple weddings a...
nd I’ve referred her to all my friends for their weddings. She does an amazing job and my hair and makeup lasts all night long!
Rachel did my hair and makeup for my wedding in September of 2017. Not only was she professional, easy to work with, and flexible, she did an absolutely stunning job! I am SO picky...
when it comes to hair and makeup, and I was so happy with the whole process. She had me come in for a trial first where I could see how it would look for the big day, then traveled down to Temecula for the wedding as well. She was also incredibly fun and easy to talk to, which made the whole experience that much more enjoyable. She was so great, 2 years later, she is now going to do my hair and makeup for my maternity photo shoot coming up this November!
Rachael did my hair for my wedding in August of 2015 and has been highlighting my hair now regularly since! Not only did I love my hair that day but she also made my bridesmaids’ h...
air look incredible. Also, she is very fast at what she does so I didn’t feel like I was waiting long for her to do my hair while experiencing crazy wedding day nerves.
Funny story, once my bridesmaids and I had already arrived at the venue, my dad was supposed to get the groom and groomsmen to take them to the venue in another car. Well, my dad picked up a couple groomsmen but totally forgot two others and the groom! Rachael happened to be packing up for the day and saw that they were stranded at the hotel and needed a ride to the venue so she saved the day by giving the groom a ride to his own wedding!! Needless to say she’s fantastic AND saved the day!
Rachael has been my hairstylist in LA for nearly a decade so when it was time to find someone to do my wedding hair & makeup I knew it had to be Rachael! I wanted an elevated natu...
ral look and she nailed it with only one hair trial. We didn’t even do a makeup trial because I trusted she understood what I wanted. I especially loved the airbrush makeup and fake lashes she used, they stayed put all night! Rachael has a fun personality and can make you laugh but also knows how to create a relaxed vibe on what can be a stressful day. 10/10!
To say that Rachael is talented is actually an understatement. She’s an intuitive, masterful genius at what she does. To be honest, I actually really don’t like sitting for hair ...
and makeup. I find it tedious and boring, but with Rachael my experience was the complete opposite. She’s like the beauty fairy godmother I didn’t know I needed. She’s funny, smart, a great conversationalist and didn’t judge me when I said I’d never had fake lashes before. She made me feel so relaxed and at ease, which set the tone for my day. She made me, my mom, and sisters look like models in just a few short hours! I can’t recommend Rachael enough. She was the easiest and best decision I made to be a part of my wedding day.
Love Rachel! She did an amazing job with my hair at my wedding. It was exactly what I hoped for and lasted the entire night (which is really saying something for a late July weddin...
g)! She also did my bridal party’s hair and everyone was so happy with the results. She’s professional and has great energy, especially during hectic bridal prep. I couldn’t recommend her more!
Rach is amazing!!! Provide her with a vision and she gets it and executes it perfectly! I don't trust many with my hair, but she’s one of the very few I do trust! Love her work!!
Rachael was fantastic! She was such a pleasure to work with - she’s so calm and collected, which is what you need on your wedding day. I wanted more of a vintage look for hair and ...

I was super impressed with her abilities and she also did my whole wedding party and mom! Everyone kept complimenting her skills and the hair and makeup stayed on all day and night long which was amazing!
Rachael came highly recommended when I was looking for my wedding day glam. She was so easy to work with and we had a session before hand to go over hair and make up. My wedding da...

eup and actually enjoyed getting ready. She really listens to what you want. I have a ton of hair and some how she does it in less time than anyone else, while making it look better than anyone else! She’s so fun to have around and made getting ready really stress-free. I’ve referred many other brides to her because I’m confident she is truly the best at what she does!
