More than I could have hope for on my big day!

I was a bride planning a wedding from out of town and Rachel made everything so easy for me! She was able to fit me in the week before my wedding for my trial run. I showed her a photo of my dress and my bridesmaids dresses and told her how I wanted to look. She completely captured my vision and made me feel beautiful! My bridesmaids and mom loved their looks too! I was so confident that I would love my look on the day of my wedding. I'm so glad I was able to work with Rachel, I have already recommended her to some of my friends!

Rachel was beyond amazing. She has a true gift and our makeup looked flawless the entire night. She not only made me feel beautiful but all of my bridesmaids as well. I received so many compliments on my makeup the entire night, and I cannot recommend her enough.

Best mua around

As someone who is into makeup, hair and makeup were the first vendors on my list to book. Rachel is a true professional who I knew my friends and I would be so pleased with. Everyone looked stunning and I got so many compliments all night on my makeup. This is truly the first time I haven't had to 'fix' anyone's makeup in the bathroom because they didn't look how they requested to look. I can't wait to have Rachel do my makeup again.

Amazing makeup artist

Rachel is amazing!!! She did my makeup for my engagement photos and for my wedding. She did 7 of my bridesmaids, 2 moms, and myself. Everyone was so pleased and that says a lot with so many different women! Rachel is so talented and you won’t regret hiring her for your big day!

Wedding Makeup

Rachel was beyond amazing to me and my bridal party. She truly listens to each person regarding how they want their makeup to look. She made me look absolutely perfect for my wedding day and I could not recommend her enough! Rachel is not only a total professional, but she also made the day more fun just by being herself! If you are in search of a makeup artist for a big (or small) event, look no further as no one is better than Rachel!

Great hair and makeup not worth the price

First and foremost I will say that I absolutely loved my hair and make up on my wedding day! Lauren and Rachel were great, they arrived to our home and finished on time and were great cheerleaders. Lauren was absolutely amazing and handled several requests with easy. I was a little frustrated with the contract and all the hidden fees. Upfront I knew that it was going to be $700 per stylist. What I wasn't aware of was that the reservation fee is not applied towards that total. Hair and make up trial is also not included and was an additional $250, plus a $100 travel fee even in Louisville where they are based. With all of my wedding contracts any reservation fee was applied towards the total. The contract was very vague. Again, I absolutely loved my hair and make up on my wedding day! But at the end of the day I had a small bridal party and the hidden fees added up and didn't necessarily make the price worth it.
