Rhonda recently did hair and makeup for a portrait photo session. She worked efficiently, managed and styles hair with challenging texture into a style that was both flattering and special, and selected makeup shades that photographed beautifully. Her skill and experience were very evident in gear and setup, preparedness, and an eye for detail...right down to the eye drops that I would not have thought I needed. After thoughtful observation while monitoring her product in action, she provided suggestions for managing the hairstyle to its best photographic effect. I strongly recommend Rhonda's service for any special or professional event that requires more than typical hair and makeup.

Rhonda was truly a dream to work with—I couldn't have asked for a better hair and makeup artist for my wedding day.
She made me feel so confident and beautiful, and her calm, kind energy was exactly what I needed that morning. From the very beginning, Rhonda listened to what I envisioned and absolutely nailed the look. I felt like the best version of myself—elevated, elegant, and still me.

And let me just say… even on one of the windiest days, my hair stayed perfect. She worked some serious magic with both my hair and makeup—it held up flawlessly all day and night.

I am beyond grateful for Rhonda’s incredible work and would recommend her to anyone looking for an artist who not only delivers stunning results but also makes you feel completely at ease and radiant on your special day.

I cannot recommend Rhonda highly enough! Even though we only had a Zoom consultation before the big day, she came incredibly prepared and had clearly put a lot of thought into how she would approach my wedding makeup. Her professionalism and warmth instantly made me feel at ease, and she truly listened to what I wanted while also offering expert guidance.

As a curly-haired bride, I really appreciated how she worked with my natural features and overall look. The final result was absolutely beautiful. I felt confident, radiant, and completely myself. Beyond her talent, the entire experience was fun and stress-free, which is everything you want on your wedding day.

If you're looking for someone who is thoughtful, skilled, and genuinely cares about making you feel your best, Rhonda is the one!

My daughter, Katie, was married in Morro Bay 2/22/25. We had an amazing venue, gorgeous weather, and thanks to Rhonda and Jorien a breathtaking bride and beautiful bridesmaids.Katie and I searched high and low to find a stylist who we thought would be able to make everyone happy. We had a group of women who were all natural beauties and not accustom to wearing a lot of make up. Rhonda and Jorien left us all speechless.
It was a delight to have both of them be a part of Katie’s wedding day. The ease in which they helped all the ladies get ready and enjoyed socializing with everyone was incredible. Both Rhonda and Jorien were true professionals who have that natural artistic gift to listen to how someone would like to look and create it.
Rhonda was gracious in giving us all last minute bridal party tips for getting dressed and how to look our best.
A huge thank you and cheers to both of you for working with Katie and her bridal party-
you made them all look stunning!❤️

I had a wonderful experience with Rhonda! She did my hair and makeup, my mothers, and my maid-of-honors. We all were extremely happy with her work & felt beautiful. She listened to what we wanted and made us all feel like ourselves, but elevated. Would definitely recommend!

Rhonda was such a pleasure to work with and she made me look beautiful and feel natural and comfortable. I loved that she has a history doing Disney editorial work because I knew that she knows how to do natural glow that photographs well. I don't wear much makeup or on a regular basis, but the few times I've gotten my makeup done for photos, there was always something that just looked a little over done. Rhonda looked at those photos and listened to what I wanted and knew exactly what to do. She did a video consultation with me to plan for the trial, which made me happy that her personality would match mine too. At the trial I felt totally comfortable to give her feedback to refine it and she knocked it out of the park making the adjustments on the day-of. She's a perfectionist, a planner, a total professional, and I was so happy to spend the first half of my wedding day with Rhonda.

Two side notes: 1) My mom is even less comfortable in makeup than I am and even just working off of pictures of her until day-of, Rhonda did an amazing job with my mom's makeup too! 2) Rhonda recommended a second artist, Jorien Medford, for my bridesmaids and they worked so well together in limited space and they gave the room a great energy for the wedding morning.

I absolutely loved working with Rhonda, on top of her expert skills in makeup and hair, she is just so much fun to chat with and we enjoyed her presence the entire time. This whole experience really helped make it extra special for me, and she made me look my very best on my wedding day. Would recommend her to anyone, I had a perfect experience.

Rhonda was amazing and so kind! She did my hair and makeup exactly how I wanted it day of without a test run, and was so wonderful to both my sister and mom.

Coudn't have asked for a better hair and makeup artist!

This is a belated but much needed review for Rhonda's hair and makeup for myself, my maid of honor, and my mom for my 6/1/2023 wedding. You don't realize how much time you spend with your HMUA on your wedding day, and you want to mesh well with that person. And for that reason (along with her beautiful work) I highly recommend Rhonda!

I did a trial with Rhonda in her home months before the wedding which I highly encourage as well - we both made some changes to the look and made it perfect for wedding day. The day of the wedding, she showed up right on time, was professional, and a lovely person to spend the morning with. I'm so grateful that she made the 3 of us feel absolutely beautiful for a perfect day.

I could go on and on, but I'll let the photos speak for themselves. :)

I’m so glad I hired Rhonda for my hair and makeup. I loved that she offered packages that included a run through and travel to my location and then I could add on additional services for the big day. She is so talented and done so many weddings that leading up to and on my wedding day, my hair and makeup was the least of my worries because I knew I was in good hands. She kept on schedule with mine and my families services so we were all ready on time and felt beautiful. I was amazed how well everything held up all night. Overall I would highly recommend Rhonda to any of my family and friends planning weddings in the central coast area.
