Thank you for taking a chance on me Gina! I love doing tattoo cover, and I think you did the right thing by hiring a professional in this situation. The stakes were high, so why wing it? I appreciate the kind words!

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Raney! She did hair and makeup for my daughter and me for my son’s rehearsal dinner, and we couldn’t have been happier with the results. What truly sets Raney apart is her ability to listen and understand your personal style and the look you’re hoping to achieve. She doesn’t simply create a look she thinks is best — she takes the time to make sure you look and feel like the very best version of yourself. Her attention to detail is exceptional, and she genuinely cares about getting everything just right. She’s incredibly talented, professional, and such a pleasure to work with. I would highly recommend her!

Thank you for your kind words Lee Alison! I enjoyed my time with both of you, and appreciate the opportunity to come up with multiple looks over the weekend. I think more people should indulge in hair and makeup for rehearsals and welcome parties. It takes the pressure off of picking a look for just the wedding day. Thank you for trusting me!

Raney was absolutely amazing! She arrived promptly at our scheduled time. She listened to my friend and I ramble our scattered thoughts about what "look" we were trying to achieve for our long overdue girls night/concert and then she got to work. She did both of our hair and makeup and we chatted like she was someone we'd both know for years. She is kind, professional, and profoundly talented. I've never felt as confident as I did when she was done! I'd give her ten stars if they would let me!

Wow what a review! Thank you Jessica! You had a clearer vision than you give yourself credit for-it just happened to be squarely in my wheelhouse. I love that you felt confident going out and enjoying your night decked out in hair and makeup (and let's not fail to mention your fantastic outfit!). Thanks again for inviting me into your space and trusting me to help.

I had a photoshoot for my 30th birthday and really wanted a professional hair and makeup artist. Raney was recommended from a friend and she was amazing! For the shoot I did two looks; the first was more soft and sparkly and the second was dark and sultry, and she handled the transition with ease and nailed both looks. Raney was also very communicative leading up to the event! During the shoot, she was attentive and stayed the entire time to make sure everything was perfect! I hope to use her for many more shoots and can’t wait to see how the pictures come out! 💜
Response from the owner · a month ago
Thank you for this amazing review Haley! I'm glad we executed multiple looks-after all, what are photo shoots for right? The whole collaboration was so smooth and fun. I'm glad you felt the communication was dialed in and attentive. I hope you had the best of birthdays!!

Raney is absolutely amazing! We had her do hair and makeup for a girls night at a concert, and she exceeded our expectations in every way. She brought our visions to life and we got complimented the whole night on our looks. She is clearly a skilled professional - highly recommend her services! If you're shopping around for a hair/makeup person like I was, do yourself a favor and just hire Raney 😊
Response from the owner · 2 months ago
Thanks for the awesome review Janna! I LOVE the look you picked out, and would do rockabilly/pinup looks more often if given the chance. I appreciate your relaxed energy through the whole process and I'm so pleased you felt that your expectations were exceeded.

Raney did a wonderful job making us feel beautiful for a special family event! She is incredibly skilled and patient, and she was especially attentive to our 13yo daughter’s desires for an evening look that was both age- and occasion-appropriate. Thank you, Raney! We hope we have a chance to work with you again!
Response from the owner · 2 months ago
I’m so glad you both enjoyed the experience of having your hair and makeup done! Exploring cosmetics, hairstyles and beauty in general with our younger generations is such an important responsibility and am really grateful that a trusting and respectful environment was felt by all 😊
