Oh I don't know where to begin. I reached out to another vendor for this service however they were booked and recommended Rachel. Everyone keep in mind, make up is not my thing on a day to day basis. I don't wear it unless I am going to event which is not often. Rachel does a way more Fabulous Work then I can even dream. From the first email, to the trial run, to the day of the wedding, Rachel was AMAZING to work with. When she asked you to fill out the questionnaire's please do it. It helps her understand exactly what you are looking for. The trial for the Bride.. She came in and set everything up. Very professional even in today's world. Everything was clean, neat and professional. She got to work based on those question's she asks you. She knew exactly what to do and how i wanted to look. She matched the foundation without blinking an eye. Needless to say, by the time she was done, I went from plain jane beautiful to Hello World Here I Am Beautiful!! I just needed my dress and... Read more I would have been ready to roll that day minus the eyelashes..lol (I could not wear them). We had a great conversation while she was working. Well I blabbed the whole time..lol. She even was patient with me when I stopped for a moment to take the a phone call quickly. Just an AWESOME PERSON ALL AROUND to WORK WITH!!! The Day of the Wedding..Where to start???? I was running around that day getting things together. She provided make up service for my 2 daughters and I. She started with my daughters at my request and by the time she was finished working with them, They went from Beautiful to More Beautiful!!! They had fun and lots of laugh's chatting with her. When my oldest daughter finished, she came and said Ma.. your turn. Like I said I was running around finishing everything. I was a little bit sweaty. OMG Everyone.. Rachel jumped right in.. she took care of everything. She de-sweated my face and got to work. I went from natural beauty to a very stunning, glamorous natural beauty. She did even better than the trial run. Dont know how that was possible but it was her magic touch, fingers, and creativity. Rachel even gave me a little goodie bag with my name on it and some extras in it. Very Cute and Awesome. The make up lasted right through until the next day when I washed it off. As far as price is concerned i will not disclose that info. I will say..it was worth it and then some. If you are looking for someone to give you everything you want, didn't know you wanted, and more, Rachel is the women to be with!!!! Yes she traveled for my wedding. I can not say enough to anyone how wonderful of an experience it was to work with her. If I ever have another event, I will be contacting her again. She makes you feel , when she is working with you, like your the only one in the world. She wants you to be Show Stopper!!! If you have the opportunity like my girls and I did to work with her, please do not hesitate for one moment. Rachel, I thank You 20 times over for that day!!! photography credits go to Saffi Photography

I was referred to Rachel by my wedding dress boutique and I could not be happier with her! She was so extremely nice and organized right from the very beginning. Her level of experience Is evident in her quality of hair styles that she created in only a few hours. She did my hair and a few of my bridesmaids and we were all thrilled with the final looks. She took the time to get to know us all and took interest in what made us look and feel beautiful. She has wonderfully magical fingers and a personality to match! She was such a gem to work with and I would highly recommend her to everyone!!

Where to begin...Rachel is amazing. I had written another review about her and somehow deleted it and immediately came back on to write one again because she deserves all the praise! When looking for someone to do my hair for my wedding day, I knew I wanted and needed someone who could do outstanding work but who would also be fun to be with. Let me tell you, Rachel is BOTH - outstanding and fun! I had a hair trial previous to meeting Rachel with another person and it was awful. My hair looked crunchy and the girl spent 15 minutes on it. I was really stressed out about it and then saw a friend on instagram had used Rachel. I reached out and she was so friendly and we set up a time to do a trial. From the moment I met Rachel, I knew she was the hairstylist for me! She was funny, kind, outgoing, and so good at what she does. She took the time to go through a bunch of different hairstyles for me and when we got to the one I loved, we both agreed it was it. I really appreciated th... Read moreat she did a few different ones with me and did not rush me through my decision! I immediately bonded with her that day and knew she was it - we booked her! Leading up to the wedding, I would constantly be emailing Rachel and asking her obscure questions and generally losing my mind. She was always quick to respond and ease my questions and always made me feel better. Here is one of the best things about booking Rachel: not only did she provide me with a questionnaire to fill out so she knew what I expected and wanted...she also had anyone else who was getting their hair done with her that day (Bridesmaids, flower girls, mother of bride) fill out a questionnaire too! She reached out to everyone individually to see what they wanted for the day of. I have never heard of anyone doing that and it made everyone feel SO special! The day of, Rachel and her assistant Grace (SO SWEET!) showed up right on time and got ready to work! Grace took care of the two flower girls and did these extremely intricate braids and was so kind and patient with them (8 & 9 year olds!). Rachel SLAYED everyone else's hair and made them look like movie stars. When I got to sit in the chair and have Rachel do my hair, I just felt serene. I was ready and so trusting in her. She made my hair dreams come true - I really wanted it half up and with a braid and she did just that. It looked absolutely PERFECT in pictures and...held up for the entire day! Rachel was cracking jokes with everyone and laughing along at our weirdness and dealing with my crazy friends & family. Everyone commented on how amazing she was. Not once did someone say they did not like their hair (I have been in plenty of weddings where girls had to have their hair redone 1 or 2 times). If I ever have another big event or need my hair done, I will not hesitate to call Rachel. I feel like I not only had the best hair of my life but I gained a new friend. If you are getting married or have an event and need a hairstylist....look no further. She's a professional with an incredibly refreshing attitude who will make you entire morning SO MUCH FUN! Thank you Rachel for being the best - we love you!

Rachel made my wedding day hair dreams come true! I have thin hair that eventually stops growing. When I found my day of dream hairstyle, I honestly did not see it as a real possibility for myself. Rachel was AMAZING because she is with you from day 1 of signing the contract to the morning of the wedding and it made my wedding day SO EASY to get ready. Rachel sent out questionnaires to get a feel for every bridal party member’s style and comfort level. She accommodated requests, but always puts the bride’s vision first. She will call/meet with you for any questions or concerns you have along the way (which in my case, it was helping me navigate the world of hair extensions and ensuring they were prepped and ready to go). Rachel met us where we needed her for the morning of, and collaborated with Formelle by Hollee and Laura Amaya Beauty to accommodate our large bridal party - all while keeping us right on schedule. I am so thankful I stumbled upon Rachel Rizzo because she pr... Read moreoved me wrong and made my hair everything I could have hoped.

Where to start? Rachel was phenomenal! Her friendly personality, her attention to detail, her creative stylist abilities! I can go on and on. Rachel did my hair and makeup for my wedding in September and I was incredibly pleased with her work. My hair tends to have a mind of its own but she created a stylish masterpiece that stayed perfect all night and my makeup looked flawless! Thank you Rachel for helping me to look my best on my wedding day! I would give her ten out of five stars if I could!

Rachel was a breeze to work with! She did the hair for me and my wedding party and I heard SO many compliments from guests about the styles! She is professional, talented, and hilarious to be around. I would recommend her to anybody!

Hiring Rachel to do makeup for me and my bridal party was easily one of the best decisions I made (for my wedding and for my life in general)! First of all, she is extremely talented and helped everyone looked flawless! She was especially amazing with my mother, who was a first-time false-lash-wearer, and a little anxious about the experience. Rachel is open to feedback and willing to go the extra mile to make sure that everyone is truly happy with how they look--including sending out a survey prior to the wedding day in order to assess everyone's preferences--super helpful! Her work speaks for itself, but I also need to discuss Rachel as a human. She is so fun to be around and her energy is somehow exciting and relaxing all at once. After my trial with Rachel, I knew that having her in the room with me on the morning of my wedding would help to ensure that the conversations stayed interesting and my nerves stayed calm.

Getting married in a small town has its limitations. When looking for wedding vendors I had to start searching MILES outside the venue. I feel so fortunate to have found Rachel. I immediately hired her to do my hair as well as the mothers and bridesmaids for my wedding. She was always quick to respond, she was insanely thorough with all the details which makes my planning heart flutter. She created individualized styles that really fit each person. She made the best recommendations and was so fun to be around. I honestly wish I had more events just so I could hang out with her again. haha! She was even willing to travel over an hour to my venue the day of and made me feel like the most beautiful person on the planet. I would recommend her a millions times over.

I loved having Rachel be a part of my big day!! She was extremely professional and very fun! My hair and make up turned out perfectly. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Thank you Rachel!

I knew I wanted Rachel to do my hair after seeing what an amazing job she did for my cousin’s wedding. She was able to create a make up look that was natural yet showed up beautifully for pictures. She knew exactly what I wanted for my hair style from making sure everything stayed put to having my bangs perfectly swooped in all photos!! I would use her for every special occasion if I could!!

Rachel and her team were one of the best decisions I made in planning my wedding!! Rachel is extremely professional, responsive, thoughtful and fun! Wedding day hair can be stressful, but I can honestly say I did not have any stress the morning of my wedding thanks to her. I know I could trust her and her team completely to listen to what myself and my bridal party wanted. She goes the extra mile to make sure everyone is happy with their services. Rachel even sends out a questionnaire prior to the big day asking everyone questions about their hair which made girls who have different hair textures feel comfortable and confident knowing the team was coming prepared the day of. Rachel and her team provided hair services for myself, eight bridesmaids and for the mother of the bride and EVERYONE loved their hair - which we all know can be next to impossible. She is creative, talented and worth every penny and more to make sure you have a stress free wedding day and of course to make sure e... Read moreveryone looks amazing. I cannot say enough how happy I am to have chosen Rachel and her team to work with!

I had an amazing experience with Rachel Rizzo doing the hair and makeup for my wedding. In the planning stages she was always super quick to answer and helpful when I wasn't sure what I was thinking. She was flexible with me and allowed me to do my trial for a friend's wedding I was in since I live out of town and that was my only chance. Day of the wedding Rachel and her team were so lovely. It was a very relaxing morning, we all just laughed and hung out while they worked their magic on our hair. Rachel even made sure that she personally did my maid of honor's hair, because she knew she had some bad experiences with hair before. I was extremely happy with my up do, it stayed looking cute all night and my makeup was natural, just the way I wanted! I would highly recommend Rachel for your wedding day needs.

Rachel was fantastic to work with for my wedding - from initial contact, through the trials, and ultimately the day of. I didn't really have any idea what kind of style I wanted to do for my hair, but Rachel came up with a fantastic style that fit with my dress, our venue, and the overall feel of our wedding. For my makeup, I don't typically wear a lot, but she made me feel gorgeous while also making it pretty natural. Most importantly, my hair and makeup still looked good through the end of our reception at 11 pm, despite being done at 11 am. I'm so glad I found Rachel, she truly made me feel beautiful and put me at ease through the entire process and gave me one less thing to worry about!

Rachel was so friendly and easygoing, she really made getting ready more fun! Her makeup was beautiful and she was very engaged in the process. She's a great listener and made very helpful suggestions. Altogether a fabulous experience!!
