Rachel Rizzo Hair and Makeup

asy. I had one trial before I met with Rachael and there truly was no comparison. She is extremely organized and punctual and I didn't ever think twice about anything regarding my hair on the big day because I knew I was in great hands. I can't thank her enough and literally all 8 of the girls who got their hair done loved their hair which is the most impressive feat. She did amazing with all different textures and hair styles and is truly an artist. Do not hesitate to book with her there's a reason she is booked out a year in advanced! She also is the most down to earth, chill, kind person which is the cherry on top. Thank you for everything!

de who could not experience a makeup and hair trial for my wedding but Rachel made me feel so at ease! She is so detail oriented and pinned down the perfect boho-romantic look for me which is EXACTLY what I wanted. She was so overly prepared from the first time I reached out to her through our wedding day. Rachel had prepared custom makeup and hair packs for us, with our names in gold, to take with us incase we needed to fresh up. But let me tell you, there was no freshening up because our makeup stayed so beautifully and hair perfectly in place without feeling like I had a head full of hairspray! On top of the fact that I walked down the aisle IN THE POURING RAIN and still looked amazing after!!!! I can’t tell you enough how much I love Rachel as a kind professional, supporter and new found friend. I highly recommend her for all your hair and make up needs. She is AMAZING and TALENTED! ❤️

Covid, Rachel made the entire planning process easy and stress-free. She made me feel so confident about the big day through video calls, surveys, and lots of emails. On the day of the wedding, she arrived early and had so much positive energy! She helped to make the morning so much fun! I was so pleased with how my hair turned out as well as all of the bridesmaids! You can't go wrong booking Rachel-she was amazing to work with!

extensive experience in the wedding industry and will make sure that on your big day the two things you will NOT have to worry about are: 1) looking incredible and 2) being on schedule. Did I mention she also one of the warmest, funniest, and kindest people you will meet while planning your wedding? Well there's that too! After I booked hair for myself and wedding party with Rachel, she sent me a detailed survey to get a sense of the look I was going for and then made me a MOOD BOARD of hair options along with pros and cons for my top picks. I also booked a trial with Rachel which I would highly recommend so you can see how your hair will look with the style you want. Last, my bridesmaids were blown away by her attention to detail. Yes, they too got surveys that asked about the look they wanted and also their hair types so Rachel knew how to prep them so their styles stayed put for the whole day (and night!) We had a blast getting ready with Rachel and, spoiler alert, everyone looked stunning!! But the best part of working with Rachel was being able to feel carefree and just enjoy the morning of my wedding with close friends knowing we were in the hands of a caring and extremely talented professional who made us look and feel beautiful.

(I live in California). She showed up on time, with an assistant to help prep, and finished early! She saved the morning by having a bluetooth speaker! I can keep going but just talk to her yourself and you will see!

f the bat her dedication to ensure she was providing the best service to meet the clients needs. Once I saw her in action, I was sold, I knew I would not trust my wedding day hair in the hands of anyone else. When it came to my wedding, she was a superstar, right from the start - I mean it! The way I envisioned my hair, she nailed it. It stayed in pristine shape all night, I probably could have slept in it and it would of been perfect come the morning. Rachel is not only truly talented at WHAT she does, she is overall just awesome.. her skills aren't the only thing that sets her apart from the rest, her personality shines. She is spunky, fun and has a a real knack for making you feel so calm amongst all the craziness. She really does put you ease on your wedding day and all the time leading up to it. She truly dedicates her time to each client, puts forth a great deal of effort getting to know them and perfecting their look. She recommended things to me and even helped me to find a new makeup artist when mine cancelled - she worked outside of her normal hours to help, not many people are willing to do that! It meant a great deal to me to know she was on my side. Rachel was communicative and promptly responsive. Everyone in my bridal party absolutely loved her and all wanted to book her for events. I am telling you, she is a rock star. She books quickly, so I highly recommend booking sooner than later. My only wish is that I could have Rachel do my hair everyday !

Rachel was on it. So warm, so welcoming and she really gets a feel for what you want. Fast forward to 2021, I was able to re-book Rachel (thank god) and it’s like the universe handed me a gift. We had our trial over zoom (I am an out of state bride) and she 100% understood my vision. She also sends questionnaires to your bridal party which I love and think is brilliant and it allowed my girls voices to be heard. The day of my hair was stunning. I truly couldn’t have dreamt of my hair looking more beautiful. On a personal note- Rachel’s entire vibe and personality is so inviting, she is so kind and she really puts you at ease. I am not exaggerating when I tell you I wanted her to become one of my best friends because she’s just so hilarious and down to earth. My girls and my mom also loved her. 1000/10, would recommend to anyone. Thanks Rachel!

g and sweating. Everyone was in a great mood because she made my wedding party feel beautiful as well. Rachel is professional and organized but above all is a wonderful person. She brings great energy on an important day- 10/10!

ning my wedding during the pandemic and Rachel was so quick to respond to any emails. I had to postpone and it was no problem at all. She even made a day of timeline which made everything run so smoothly. We had a blast. :) I truly cannot recommend her enough. My hair and makeup stayed all day and looked perfect. 💕

nd moms, but she was also the most fun and easiest person to work with! Throughout the whole planning process, trial, and my wedding day, Rachel was nothing but the most professional. I’d also highly recommend scheduling a hair trial with her. I thought I knew 100% which style I’d go with but then come trial day that completely changed. Rachel was always so patient with me and always answers all my questions. She’s extremely knowledgeable and handled everyone’s hair on my wedding day with ease. From short styles to long, she can do it all! Rachel, I cannot thank you enough for making my hair dreams come true! You really are the best and I’ll recommend you to anyone and everyone I know!

ls showed in my hair and make-up trial. She was receptive to my style, honest about what worked for me and what didn’t, and ultimately made me look incredible! And she was effectively able to reproduce this look for my special day. On my wedding day, Rachel made my day so much easier and kept me laughing. She is excellent at reading a room, and even has amazing playlists ready to go! As someone who doesn't wear make-up regularly, I was nervous, but Rachel put me right at ease and made me look like myself. My hair and make-up both stayed put for the entire day and night, and Rachel even provided me with a personalized touch-up kit, which I thought was a very nice touch! As far as Covid-19 protocols go, Rachel provided me with a screening questionnaire, followed the regulations carefully, and wore the proper PPE. Rachel was very communicative throughout the whole process, and I was SO happy with my look! I highly recommend Rachel Rizzo Hair and Make-Up!

es. She did it in such a timely manner. We had not one stressor and she made it such an enjoyable experience. She was such a breath of fresh air with planning during the covid pandemic. She took the infection control very serious. My wedding party and myself were highly satisfied. Definitely recommend

again because she deserves all the praise! When looking for someone to do my hair for my wedding day, I knew I wanted and needed someone who could do outstanding work but who would also be fun to be with. Let me tell you, Rachel is BOTH - outstanding and fun! I had a hair trial previous to meeting Rachel with another person and it was awful. My hair looked crunchy and the girl spent 15 minutes on it. I was really stressed out about it and then saw a friend on instagram had used Rachel. I reached out and she was so friendly and we set up a time to do a trial. From the moment I met Rachel, I knew she was the hairstylist for me! She was funny, kind, outgoing, and so good at what she does. She took the time to go through a bunch of different hairstyles for me and when we got to the one I loved, we both agreed it was it. I really appreciated that she did a few different ones with me and did not rush me through my decision! I immediately bonded with her that day and knew she was it - we booked her! Leading up to the wedding, I would constantly be emailing Rachel and asking her obscure questions and generally losing my mind. She was always quick to respond and ease my questions and always made me feel better. Here is one of the best things about booking Rachel: not only did she provide me with a questionnaire to fill out so she knew what I expected and wanted...she also had anyone else who was getting their hair done with her that day (Bridesmaids, flower girls, mother of bride) fill out a questionnaire too! She reached out to everyone individually to see what they wanted for the day of. I have never heard of anyone doing that and it made everyone feel SO special! The day of, Rachel and her assistant Grace (SO SWEET!) showed up right on time and got ready to work! Grace took care of the two flower girls and did these extremely intricate braids and was so kind and patient with them (8 & 9 year olds!). Rachel SLAYED everyone else's hair and made them look like movie stars. When I got to sit in the chair and have Rachel do my hair, I just felt serene. I was ready and so trusting in her. She made my hair dreams come true - I really wanted it half up and with a braid and she did just that. It looked absolutely PERFECT in pictures and...held up for the entire day! Rachel was cracking jokes with everyone and laughing along at our weirdness and dealing with my crazy friends & family. Everyone commented on how amazing she was. Not once did someone say they did not like their hair (I have been in plenty of weddings where girls had to have their hair redone 1 or 2 times). If I ever have another big event or need my hair done, I will not hesitate to call Rachel. I feel like I not only had the best hair of my life but I gained a new friend. If you are getting married or have an event and need a hairstylist....look no further. She's a professional with an incredibly refreshing attitude who will make you entire morning SO MUCH FUN! Thank you Rachel for being the best - we love you! Update - Rachel sent out thank you cards to not only me, but also anyone whose hair she did on the day of our wedding. WHO DOES THAT? RACHEL does because she is amazing!!!

land, so it could get tricky to work with vendors from out-of-town. That was never the case with Rachel -- she was so responsive to emails, was very flexible with trying to accommodate my out-of-town schedule for the trial, and her online booking and questionnaire were so helpful in wrangling the mothers and bridesmaids. On the day of the wedding, Rachel and her team kept things running smoothly -- my friends were commenting on how well the morning went, since we've all been in a million weddings by now and have never had it go so well! For my own hair and makeup, Rachel talked me through some suggested changes from the trial, since she was getting to know me and my style better, and I could not have been happier with the little changes and her patience. Outside of the logistics, Rachel is an also all-around great person to have around you in the morning of your wedding -- I definitely had a few moments full of nerves while I was sitting in her chair, and Rachel noticed right away and chatted me through it :) . I couldn't recommend her more -- she's the best of the best!

my wedding and did my bridal hair, five bridesmaids and two mothers. Every style fit the person perfectly. They style lasted well into the evening and really completed my whole bridal look. She was so easy to communicate with and was always quick the respond. She will be a great addition to make your day the best ever!!
