Designory - personal touch and beautiful results

I hired Rachel and Paisley from Designory in Clemson, SC to do hair and make-up for my daughter's wedding in Simpsonville, SC. Rachel was easy to work with and answered all our questions quickly. The pre-session for the bride was a delight. She listend intently to everything my daughter had envisioned and delivered. Her make-up was flawless and so natural. The bridal party was stunning and made to feel special on the big day. I cannot speak highly enough about Designory! We would recommend them to any bridal party seeking a special look and experience all rolled into one!

Great hair and makeup!

Rachel was absolutely great to work with! I had several ideas for hair and she was able to take all of my ideas and make the perfect hairstyle for me. Also she did a wonderful job with my makeup. I was outside in 80 degree weather for my bridal portrait and the makeup stayed on through all of my sweating! And it lasted all day on the day of the wedding. She is very flexible about scheduling and responds really quickly to emails. I would definitely recommend her!

Absolutely Perfect

Rachel from Designory Hair and Makeup was an absolutely joy to work with from start to finish. I never felt bad about asking lots of questions, and you can tell that she feels passionate about what she does. As soon as I had my trial, I knew that I was in good hands. The day itself went great, and there was no stress when it came to finishing on time based off the schedule she set up. My bridesmaids and I looked and felt fantastic from the start of the day until the end. I wouldn't hesitate to refer Rachel to anyone needing hair and makeup on their wedding day.

Rachel seriously went above and beyond for my special day. I actually did not meet her until the trial run. I thought it would be awkward, but it was the complete opposite. I actually found a new friends throughout this process. Now, on my big day, Rachel and her crew showed up exactly on time and had time slots organized to make sure it was efficient yet detailed. I was nervous whereas my Mother is hard to please, but the opposite took place. My mother, and all my girls were so happy with the results. Honestly, my hair looked exactly as I dreamed it would for this big day. A big shout out to Rachel, who is now my friend! Thanks girl!
