Rachel is amazing. She is communicative from start to finish. On the wedding day she was calm, kept everyone in good spirits, and left my mother-in-law, mom, and myself feeling gor...
geous. She accommodated us tremendously by doing hair and makeup at my home and never missed a beat. Working with her was wonderful and seamless. I can’t recommend Rachel enough!
Rachel and her team were incredible... they did an absolutely gorgeous job on my bridal & bridesmaids make-up & hair. They're a joy to work with and you can't go wrong hiring Rach...
el!
I’m so glad I chose Rachel for my big day! I had made it very clear to her what I wanted, and she aced it at the bridal trial and on the day of the wedding with my hair and makeup!...
She was very open to trying out different colors than some of the ones we tested during the trial. She matched my skin color perfectly and did my hair exactly how I had envisioned it. Great communication and great personality! I would 100% go to her again for any events in the future! Thank you, Rachel!!
I cannot recommend Rachel and her team highly enough. Her and her girls gave my bridal party and family the best experience on my wedding day this past November. Everyone was so jo...
yful and fun, it brought such a warmth and ease to what could be such a hectic and stressful day.
When I say that my hair and make-up were perfect, I truly mean it. Rachel seemed to so effortlessly take my notes from our trial run and nail something better than I was hoping for. I felt so comfortable and confident the entire evening - I seriously can't express how much that mattered to me. Going into the process and looking through hair and makeup options, I had kind of settled on the fact that maybe I wouldn't look like myself or wouldn't LOVE it, but that that would be okay.
Turns out - makeup and fancy hair CAN look good on me - it just takes an artist who not only knows her shit, but listens and reflects her client's feedback into their work. Looking back at the photos and videos has been so much fun because 1. I looked fabulous and 2. I can tell I FELT fabulous.
If you're needing hair and makeup for a wedding or event - you'll be in great hands with Rachel.
I’ve booked Rachel Hill several times now and she is my go-to. Not only did she do my wedding makeup, she also did a reshoot of my bridals years later! I refer her to everyone I kn...
ow- her team is fast, efficient and able to make everyone feel their best!! Thank you for always making me feel so beautiful!!!!!
Rachel is unbelievably sweet, and I’m so happy she made me look absolutely beautiful for my wedding. She made me feel comfortable throughout the whole morning-made me laugh when I ...

Rachel was recommended to me by a friend of mine, and I am so glad we got connected! Not only was she super responsive to my initial questions, but she was also super informative d...
uring our consultation. Her ability to have herself and team travel to my house on my wedding day made the entire experience easy, breezy. I don't typically wear makeup, but I felt the most beautiful I've ever felt that day because of Rachel. Also, she made my mom and bridesmaid feel just as special. HIGHLY RECOMMEND her to anyone. She is absolutely the best!
Rachel was/is amazing!!! I did an initial appointment with her before my wedding day and I’m so glad I did! Initially I thought I wanted something completely different than what I ...
ended up doing on my wedding day. Rachel however made both of the looks phenomenal. She is so talented and I’d recommend her to anyone looking for a hair and makeup artist for their special day. If I had to do it all over again, I’d go with her every time!!!!!
Rachel did a PHENOMENAL job with my hair and makeup for my wedding. I do not wear makeup at baseline and wanted to look soft and glowy, but like myself. She knocked it out of the p...
ark, and I felt radiant. Her team for wedding day did such an incredible job with my mom and bridesmaids as well. All the girls looked gorgeous and felt that way as well. Rachel was so kind and accommodating for my trial since we had to do it very early since I lived out of state, and I was so grateful to get to work with her. Thank you so so much!!
Rachel is the best!! She was professional, kind, and so darn talented. She completely nailed my look on the first try at our trial and gave awesome suggestions based on my inspo ph...
otos. At the wedding, my hair & makeup stayed put all night and looked incredible in all the pictures. I can't recommend her enough!
I cannot recommend Rachel enough. To start, she is very professional, personable, and very communicative from the start! She always sent over updated proposals whenever a change w...
as made, which helped me stay on top of things. I was originally trying to find an Asian makeup artist around the Austin area, but to no one's surprise the market is lacking in Asian MUAs. At my hair and makeup trial, she listened to my preferences and was open to feedback. Long story short, she nailed the bridal look and we had so much fun at both the makeup trial and on day of the wedding. You're the best, Rachel!
Rachel is AMAZING! I booked her for day of hair and makeup for my wedding and she knew EXACTLY what I wanted. She is the perfect stylist if you are looking for a natural, soft look...
that stays all day. She was so friendly, professional, and a joy to work with. Highly, highly recommend!
I have never felt more beautiful than I did at my wedding, and that was 100% because of Rachel. I have never loved my hair and makeup as much as when Rachel did it. She and her tea...
m were so fun, and made our time getting ready such a treat. Everyone loved their looks, and I honestly could not have been happier! I will recommend her forever and ever to anyone needing their hair and makeup done! She is truly one of a kind, and so amazing! Thank you Rachel! You deserve 100 stars!!!
If I could give more stars I would, Rachel was so easy to work with! She was open to change and would talk with me through my concerns of my hair and makeup. Her team she brought t...
o help was a blast and truly amazing at what they do! Every girl in my wedding party, and there were 8 plus my mom and MIL, was happy and satisfied with how they looked! And nothing makes the day better than everyone feeling and looking beautiful!
Rachel Hill Makeup is INCREDIBLE! She made me feel so confident and beautiful on my wedding day! We did a trial run at her in home studio where she took the time to listen to exact...
ly what I wanted and was able to perfect the look on my wedding day! I had a large party of bridesmaids/family getting ready as well and the ladies who helped her tackle our lively group were wonderful too! Rachel is so sweet, patient, upbeat, talented and I would recommend her to any bride getting married in the Austin area!!
Rachel is seriously amazing!! So kind and such a calming presence, and she truly made me feel so so beautiful on my wedding day! I keep looking at pictures and can't even believe h...
ow happy I am with how my hair and makeup turned out. I made a few changes from our trial, and she switched everything up perfectly. I am so so thankful I found Rachel!!
Rachel and her team were AMAZING! Incredibly talented and so fun to be around on the big day.
Rachel was by far the best vendor in my wedding! She was on time, very kind, professional and her make-up and hair styling skills are superb!
Thank you Rachel & Carin both so incredibly much for making me the most beautiful I have ever felt in my life, on one of the most meaningful, and memorable days of my life. You tw...
o are so sweet, and accommodating, and patient. Having the both of you there and execute so flawlessly, I genuinely could not ask for anything more. It meant the whole world to me. Brides- this hair and make up team is beyond! I would choose them over, and over again, and cannot be more grateful to have had the honor of them taking care of my family, and myself on my wedding day. Truly. Thank you Rachel, and Carin, forever and ever!!
Rachel Hill was one of my favorite vendors to work with during my wedding. We got married 12/18/21 at Kindred Oaks and could only access the venue at noon. Rachel made it super eas...
y and stress free for me! She sent 2 artists to our hotel for my mother and 4 bridesmaids, and then she showed up for me at noon at the venue! I paid for Rachel to stay until after the ceremony - I wanted to make sure to get my makeup touched up before photos. She not only helped touch me up, but she also fixed my mother's hair and made sure we all felt comfortable and happy! She has a super calm presence and even sat with me in the bridal suite and helped keep me calm before the ceremony. My makeup was flawless and my hair was exactly what I envisioned. I felt like a princess! Rachel Hill is 100% the HMU vendor you need to book for your big day!
Rachel is such a joy to work with! She makes you feel so comfortable and she listens to what you want on your big day. She coordinated such a professional team that made all of my ...
most important ladies feel beautiful the day of my wedding. I felt natural and yet fully glam the day of my wedding which was exactly what I wanted. Thank you Rachel for making me feel so comfortable and beautiful on my big day! Nothing but love for you and your team!
Rachel and her team were amazing to work with! Rachel ensured that I felt comfortable with every single detail and I never felt like she was pushing her own ideas onto me. She made...
me and my bridesmaids feel beautiful and still ourselves. I'd definitely recommend her to any of my closest friends!
Rachel was SO awesome!! (and Codie & Kourtney!) Super sweet, personable, talented, fun girls. There was something off to me about my makeup during my trial, but she made some notes...
on what to change for my actual wedding day and came in and NAILED IT. Absolutely PERFECT. And I had people raving about my hair all day!! It was just stunning. I literally cannot express how happy I was with it. All my friends said it was just so "me." I didn't want to take it out at the end of the night!! THANK YOU Rachel for making me look and feel like a million bucks on my big day!
Rachel and her group weee fantastic to work with! They were professional and prompt and gave us all the look we wanted! They had awesome recommendations as well. The whole day was ...
a fairytale and i cannot thank Rachel enough for making my dream look into a reality!

up to keep for the night. My makeup photographed really well, stayed put the whole night and I felt beautiful! Another perk is that Rachel is lovely to be around. Nothing worse than having to spend time with someone in your face that you don't click with...shes the bees knees!

Rachel did my hair and makeup on my wedding day, and OH. MY. GOD! She made me feel so pretty! I don't usually wear a lot of makeup or do much with my hair, but Rachel listened perf...
ectly to what I wanted and helped me feel the prettiest I've ever felt while also feeling totally comfortable.
As someone that has never had their hair or make-up done before, I was uncertain of what to expect- I can honestly say that I have never felt more beautiful or glamorous than when ...
Rachel did my hair and make-up for my wedding (and my trial!). She really listened to what I wanted, paid attention to my tricky skin and how it reacted to makeup, and went above and beyond in all ways imaginable. She also did the hair and makeup for a friend and several family members and everyone couldn’t stop raving about what an incredible job she did. If you’re on the fence about booking Rachel do yourself a favor and do it!
I absolutely LOVED my makeup for my wedding! I went with airbrush and Rachel made my skin look FLAWLESS. She was also so so patient during our trial! We didn't stop until we got th...
e look right and she absolutely NAILED it for the big day!
Rachel and her team did an outstanding job. Rachel is very sweet and a great listener. She made me feel heard during my trial, and she made me feel and look like an absolute knock ...
during my wedding. I seriously couldn't believe what I saw in the mirror. She and her team were friendly, on time, and efficient. They'll make you feel right at home and make sure you're looking great before you leave for your wedding. Rachel also was understanding when we had to reschedule our wedding due to COVID. It can't be easy to do hair and makeup during a pandemic, but her team made it look easy. She took extra precautions to make sure everyone was and everything was sanitized. I highly recommend her services.
Rachel truly made me feel like the best version of myself on my wedding day! She has the kindest soul and is also incredibly calm which was such a nice personality to be with on my...
wedding day. DEFINITELY recommend booking a trial in addition to wedding day. Doing a trial with Rachel just makes your experience with her that much better because she asks for feedback after the trial. Rachel was promptly on time, came prepared, was so easy going, and everyone loved their finished look! Highly recommend!
Can’t possibly say enough great things about Rachel Hill. As the mother of the Bride I wanted our daughter to feel and look like a million bucks on her wedding day! Rachel exceed...
ed our expectations! Not only did our daughter take our breath away that day, but she also did an amazing job with the bridesmaids and mother’s that day! She was prompt, stayed on time and listened to exactly what our vision was for that day! Everyone’s hair and makeup were stunning! I would hire her again in a heartbeat!
If you're thinking about booking Rachel - email her!! She is the sweetest soul and insanely talented. She did exactly what I was looking for in the trial! When I realized later tha...
t day I wanted a polished updo instead of the loose updo I asked for she totally killed that look on the day of! She is so kind and warm - the perfect person to have getting you ready during a stressful time. She also did the hair and makeup for my mom and mother-in-law. They were both blown away with the hair and makeup. The eyelashes she did for them were so natural but fun for the moms to wear! I can't express how amazing Rachel is --- both because of her talent AND because of her personality!!
Rachel was an absolute dream! She was prompt, insightful, and every single face she touched looked so beautiful. She truly exceeded my expectations. I can not say enough amazing ...
things about her and her team. Thank you so much!

u so much Rachel for making me feel beautiful :)
Rachel did an incredible job with my makeup for my bridal portraits and wedding day! Not only was she a joy to work with throughout the entire process, but made me feel so beautifu...
l for my big day. My mom, who wanted to do her own makeup for the wedding decided she wanted Rachel to do hers as well after seeing how great my makeup turned out for my bridal portraits. My makeup stayed all day as well despite it being greater than 100 degrees outside. I could not be more impressed with how everything turned out!
I could not recommend Rachel more! She showed up on my wedding day and transformed me into the prettiest version of myself. I've never felt so confident! She is beyond talente...
d at hair AND makeup. She knows what will look best but also listens and makes adjustments as you want them. Not to mention she has such a genuinely sweet personality and is so enjoyable to be around. Do yourself a favor and book Rachel for your wedding or any other big event!
Rachel was very professional and easy to work with. The best part - she travels to your house with all her supplies! I highly recommend her work. My make-up was very minimal and na...

such a joy to be around. She was quick but not stressful about it and we all LOVED how beautiful she made us feel! Hiring Rachel was one of the best decisions we made as far as wedding planning goes. IF you need a makeup artist and hair stylist Rachel is the way to go! :)

an amazing job. You will not be disappointed!!
I couldn't be happier that I chose Rachel to be my hair and makeup stylist for my wedding day! She was so friendly, organized, and made my bridal party and me look amazing. Rachel ...
was extremely easy to reach through email, and was clear and personable while planning and scheduling my bridal trial and the wedding day. She was even able to work with me through a couple of last-minute location issues, and everything still went smoothly! Rachel was able to schedule my somewhat large bridal party perfectly, and the two extra stylists she brought to help out were also as sweet as can be and seemed genuinely eager to help my bridesmaids look exactly how they wanted. I can't recommend Rachel and her stylists enough!
Rachel is amazing!!! I don't normally wear a lot of makeup so doing a full face of wedding makeup felt very out of my comfort zone but Rachel did an amazing job of making me feel f...
lawless but also very natural. She also did makeup for both my mom and my husband's mom and they LOVED her as well. She made them both feel so beautiful and pampered and special and I can't thank her enough for that! In addition to being super talented she also totally put me at ease (which is quite a feat because I am a real Type A nut job), she was so on top of it the whole time I had no worries about her at all and she is also just such a fun person to be around!! DEFINITELY book her!!
Ugh where to start?! Both my trial makeup and my wedding day makeup were a dream!!! Rachel exceeded my expectations on making me look and feel like the most beautiful bride. She ha...
s absolute pure talent and is a force to be reckoned with in this industry! On the wedding day, she had a lot of makeup and hair dos to accomplish and she did them all so beautifully! She even stayed longer than expected to do an unexpected hair do for my MIL. Again, Rachel exceeded expectations and does BEAUTIFUL work!!!!
Rachel. Is. Ah.Maz.Ing. You absolutely have to book her! Our first trial session she did everything I asked and brought to life the vision I walked in with. Later in the day when I...
realized it wasn't what I wanted, she was so sweet and scheduled one more trial with me to try another look. She worked within my crazy morning schedule, even got an extra artist or two for my girls and me last minute! It meant the world to me that she was so willing to work with me on that especially on such short notice. Day of the wedding, she was prompt, so pleasant to work with, and went above and beyond, even helping with my hair last minute.
If I ever need/want make up done again, I'll be going back to Rachel for sure.
You have to book Rachel! Her make-up skills are unparalleled and she's the sweetest human. I sent her a few photos for inspiration before the trial and honestly, she nailed it on t...
he first try. I knew my bridal party and I were going to be in amazing hands on the wedding day! She came to our Airbnb and rotated through the girls quickly and effortlessly. Everyone looked like actual angels thanks to Rachel! Seriously - look no further because she's the best. Thank you, Rachel!
Talk about an amazing & talented makeup artist! Wow! Rachel did such a beautiful job with my makeup look during my trial and on the day of my wedding (6/1/19). She is so profession...
al, sweet, and a joy to work with. She took notes during my trial & created a gorgeous makeup look for me that was exactly what I pictured. She did partial makeup for two of my bridesmaids and they both commented on how much they loved their makeup looks. Rachel even stayed extra time to help show me how to put my veil on and made me a small touch up kit. One of my bridesmaid's dress was accidentally altered too much and were having trouble getting the zipper up and the clasp together. But Rachel jumped in there and pulled off a miracle and was able to get it together for us. I can't thank her enough. If you're looking for a makeup artist for your wedding, Rachel is top notch!! I couldn't have asked for a better experience.
Rachel did an incredible job on my makeup! Not only did she listen to me and give me exactly the look I was hoping for, but she was kind and lovely to be around! I'm so grateful th...

s actually the very first vendor I reached out to when we decided on a day- it was that important!!! I felt like the most beautiful version of myself on my wedding day, my hair and makeup turned out even better than I could've imagined and all of my bridesmaids loved their make up too! I had one girl tell me she liked her hair/makeup on my wedding day better than she liked it on her own wedding day! Other than the fact that Rachel is obviously extremely talented at what she does, she is incredibly kind, easy going, and was so enjoyable to work with throughout the whole planning process leading up to the wedding. I cannot recommend Rachel Hill Makeup enough!!!
