Cressida H. Sent on 11/20/2023So happy with my results!
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. -

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! -

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. :)

Rhonda was well prepared with meeting with me before the ceremony to plan the look as well as when she arrived for the special day. She had great energy to be around as you prepare yourself to become a Mrs. Rhonda is an active listener and wants to fulfill your bride look! -

Natural, Comfortable, Beautiful
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.

Rhonda is incredibly talented!
Rhonda went above and beyond to make sure my hair and makeup were exactly what I wanted on my vow renewal day. She was on time, extremely professional, flexible, and such a pleasure to work with. I was so happy with my makeup, and she exceeded my expectations with my hairstyle. Thank you, Rhonda, for making me feel so beautiful! -

Rhonda is MAGIC!
I was super hesitant to have anyone do my hair or makeup for my elopement because I had a very particular vision and “wedding makeup” intimidates me. During our zoom meeting, she was very patient as I discussed my fears and issues I had with fake eyelashes, heavy makeup, etc. She quickly eased all my worries and I trusted her immediately. Not only did she seem extremely knowledgeable, but she had a very laid back yet fun and quirky personality.
When I met her on the day of my elopement, she made me feel so comfortable and excited for what we were planning on doing. I just wanted fairly simple makeup with neutral tones and nothing to extravagant. For my hair we decided on using one of my waver tools (although she brought PLENTY for me to choose from and tested) and she created some beautiful braids with a flower crown she helped place that tied it all together into a stunning woodland fairytale look. It was BEYOND gorgeous and I still can’t believe how beautiful everything turned out. Rhonda is 100% one id the best choices I could have made for my elopement and I am so grateful for her service.
She also helped me to get in to my dress, decide which sweater I should wear, and gave me honest opinions of what looked best as I got ready and acted as a stand in “mother” since I was by myself. I appreciate her so much and will forever be grateful for her talent! -

Jaclyn I. Sent on 12/01/2022Fantastic hair & makeup artist
Rhonda was amazing to work with! I didn't quite know what I wanted to do with my hair and makeup, but gave her some general ideas and she helped me narrow down the vision and made things more modern. She was super patient and flexible, but most important - great at what she does. I felt lucky to have found someone who could do an equally great job with both hair and makeup. She also went above and beyond to help us find another vendor when something fell through at the last minute. We really appreciated her willingness to help during a stressful situation! Thank you, Rhonda! -

Awesome Experience!
Rhonda did an amazing job with my hair and make up for my wedding. I wanted a very beachy/natural look and she knew just what to do to make me look polished but not overdone. I was very pleased to be able to do a trial with her ahead of time- and although nothing needed changing at all from our trial- She followed up with my to see how everything looked and how it stayed in case we needed to make any adjustments. (A side note worth saying- her cleanliness standards were awesome.) I felt incredibly confident that day and she’s the reason why! -

I'm a transplant from Chicago where we had hundreds of hair and make up techs to choose from. The Central Coast does not have that many for sure but that does not mean the quality is any less. Rhonda Johnson is top notch. Professional, polite, on time, easy to work with and does a terrific job. All three of my clients from our shoot with Rhonda commented to me about how much they liked Rhonda's work. I agree and will look forward to many more shoots with her. -

Rhonda was my hair and make up artist for my elopement in Big Sur, CA. She was the only person in the room when I was getting ready, and truly felt like an old friend. She was so fun, kind and is excellent at her craft. We had incredible suggestions to make me feel and look gorgeous. I felt like the best version of myself for our wedding and it was truly thanks to Rhonda. Book her, you will be delighted with her work! -

Couldn't have been happier!
Rhonda helped me create the perfect wedding day look! She did my hair and makeup for my Big Sur wedding. I couldn't have been happier with the finished product, I looked exactly like I wanted to! She did everything I wanted, and more! She listened to everything I asked for and made it happen. She knows exactly how to make you look your best for the wedding and also the photos! I got nothing but compliments about my look. Thank you Rhonda for helping on my special day! -

Skillful, thoughtful, patient, flexible, Rhonda made me feel like my truest and most beautiful self! She strikes the perfect balance of being very professional while also being easy-going, funny, and a great conversationalist. She was generous with her time, spending multiple hours with me to do a hair and make-up trial six weeks before the wedding, which was included in the overall cost.
Rhonda was also very flexible and patient! I changed my mind about my make-up after our initial hair/make-up trial, and she was very receptive and accommodated my requests. We went with an understated but glamorous classic Hollywood look with gold eyeshadow and red lipstick. My hair looked absolutely incredible! I got so many compliments. I have short, naturally curly hair and she made it look both romantic and polished in a half-updo.
I would definitely recommend Rhonda! She's a true professional and a pleasure to work with. -
