Impeccable service where you need it

Raven (Hair) and Karen (Makeup) were so much fun to work with! I hired them to do my bridal party, mother of the bride and bridal shoot. They were so attentive and listened to my needs. Raven made special accommodations for my allergies and Karen worked with me to make sure my makeup was true to my style. Day of the wedding they were right on time and came to my hotel room to set up shop. They were both so much fun to hang out with all morning and everyone looked beautiful. Especially my mother who never pampers herself. She was emotional when she saw how gorgeous she looked and everyone complimented her all night. Their rates are very reasonable for the level of service they provide and they will make sure everyone is ready right on time looking fabulous!

Fantastic job!!

Karen was so accommodating and helpful during my bridal trial and during the day of! Everyone’s makeup looked PERFECT and really showcased everyone’s natural beauty. It stayed all night (and I danced/sweated a LOT) and still looked beautiful during the send-off. 1000/10 AMAZING!!

Wedding Hair and Makeup!

My experience with Raven was incredible. From the hair trial to the day of it was great. She was willing to try a couple options to make sure I looked and felt my most beautiful. On the wedding day while doing my hair and my bridal parties hair she helped fix problems and give advice and even help with my bouquet by going into the garden and adding some greenery so my wedding dreams would come true!! She also didn’t leave until I was walking out the door to get married, looking amazing!

Beautiful hair! Wonderful to work with

Raven did an amazing job on my bridal hair! I had a really positive experience doing my hair trial with her - she has a really calm, down to earth demeanor that made me feel relaxed and comfortable. It is also clear that she is very experienced and skilled in doing wedding hair. She took her time with me to adjust my hair at the trial and to try out a few options until we captured what I was imagining. My wedding day hair turned out so beautiful!! The bridesmaids and mothers loved their hair as well - Raven went above and beyond to make adjustments on girls' hairstyles as needed, which everyone appreciated and commented on. Compared to other vendors I looked at, Raven's pricing was very affordable. I also hired Emily (Lazer Eyez Beauty) for makeup, who works in Raven's salon, and she was AMAZING as well. I highly recommend both.

Above and Beyond

I cannot say enough good things about Raven! She was so easy to work with and more importantly, she was so responsive. I was an out of state bride and her response time and ideas were perfect. She was extremely accommodating and I can’t say thank you enough!

I highly recommend Raven for any bride who wants to look beautiful!!

I booked Raven to do hair for my wedding on October 16, 2021. She and her team did an amazing job!

Raven was easy to communicate with during the wedding process and was such a pleasure to work with! She did my hair for my wedding as well as 10 bridesmaids and two moms. Raven and her team did a phenomenal job and I was very pleased with how everyone’s hair turned out. During the wedding process she did a trial run of my hair and helped me decide which style I wanted on my wedding day!

Amazing! Super helpful and HIGHLY recommend

Raven and her team were amazing! She not only fixed my hair the way I had hoped and dreamed but made it even better and gave me some extra tips! She ALSO stayed a little after our hair was done and touched it up before pictures and even helped me with my dress when I had to get dressed. I would HIGHLY recommend her! If I had to do the day over again, I would for sure use her.

The perfect hairstylist!!!

My experience with Raven since my first visit around April 2020 has been nothing but superior! I have appointments every 5 weeks or so and with conviction I can say she is by far the best hair stylist I have ever had!! Unfortunately for me, I have had many!

Raven gets personal with your hair and addresses your specific hair needs ( I have coarse, thick, curly, long hair) with you and then works toward achieving the goal over time. She aims to please her clients, and she achieves that goal!!! She’s excellent at precision cutting, coloring, hair treatments and styling. She uses products that are suitable for your hair and does not simply use standard products. Her prices are also very reasonable and she helps you get products at bargain prices too! She is reliable and always on schedule. But above all, my most memorable experience with Raven was on my wedding day in January 2021. Raven was on time, prepared, calm and composed when anxiety started to build, she perfected my hairstyle and then chose to go to the church with me to ensure my veil was securely attached and that my hair was just how I wanted it. She stayed with me until the moment before I walked down the aisle and brought the composure I needed at that moment. Very grateful to God that I found her. This lady is the full package hairstylist!!!!

Raven is absolutely THE BEST for Hair and Makeup!!!

Raven is extremely professional and goes the extra mile to make sure the bride and bridal party are looking their absolute best. She tailors hair and makeup to suit the individual. The bride doesn't normally wear makeup and she did an excellent job of using just the right amount of makeup that she was comfortable with and made her look even more beautiful on her special day. Raven even stayed until she walked down the aisle to make sure that everything was perfect before the wedding ceremony. Her attention to detail and care and concern for everyone makes her so special and the best at what she does!
