Recently, I have been reviewing my wedding photos and I am just astonished how awesome my hair turned out. I felt more beautiful that day than I have ever felt in my life and I need to THANK Rita for traveling back to Los Angeles to make that possible. She has worked with MANY celebrities and has created some gorgeous Red Carpet looks for them. Both celebrities and brides are hard to please (at least I know I was), but Rita delivers. Truly, Rita is like no other hair stylist I have ever worked with before. She actually hears what you want, understands it, and then has the vision, craftsmanship, and expert skill to execute and realize your dream hair. I call her the “Hair Clairvoyant” because of her uncanny ability to “read me” and know what I want and understand what would be the most flattering style for me. She has cut, colored, and styled my hair multiple times when she was based in Los Angeles and I was able to arrange to have her fly back (from her new home in the bay area) for my wedding. THANK GOD.

Although I think she is a master in all areas of hair, I truly think her forte is styling a finished hairdo. I can tell she is having fun and gets as excited as I do when my look starts to transform into something beautiful. She was SO patient during my trial listening to all my needs and wants and then took the time to actually realize it. I actually felt kind of scared that my trial hair was too perfect and that she may not be able to achieve it again on the day of my wedding. My worry was dispelled when she recreated exactly on the Big Day, except it looked even more beautiful day of. I wanted my hair longer for the day and Rita was able to put temporary hair extensions in that we're completely undetectable and matched my own hair color. She also did a killer job with styling my wedding party, my mom, and my handsome groom!

Another aspect of Rita’s work that was of great importance to me is she knows how to make the style last! I wanted my hair half up with whimsical romantic loose curls. My hair tends to lose curl pretty quick, unless Rita is doing it. My hair remained the same through the first look, the ceremony, and the reception. And my hair had a very natural look without looking like it had been over-styled. I don’t know how her styles last so long. My hair even looked awesome after brushing it out a bit for our day-after-wedding-brunch. I wish she could do my hair all the time.

Thanks for working some of your Hollywood magic at my wedding, Rita Marso. I truly felt like a star.
