I had been going to her for my pre-wedding trials for hair/make-up. She was very helpful and knowledgeable about my needs for my day. On the actual day of, she knew that with so many women to work on (6 bridesmaids and 1 mother-in-law) that she would need back-up. There were two other assistants to help with hair and make-up. My bridesmaids looked gorgeous and the experience was fun. My mother saw how beautiful the women looked and ended up getting her make-up done as well! My make-up felt light on my skin and was "just right" on the color. My hair had gone through some changes from curls to a twist on the day of. The style was simple, yet modern and elegant at the same time. It ended up feeling like me and not like other styles I always saw at weddings/magazines. Rachanee worked hard to work with our schedule in time/location. It was an experience that every woman getting married should have.

Holidays Makeup And Hair colored.

The holidays are one of the best times of year to treat yourself. As you meet colleagues, friends, and family members for various celebratory events, you will want to look your best. Sprucing up your hair takes time, but it can have the deepest impact on the overall impression you convey. 

Alisa came to the salon as a model for an Art Occasions photo shoot. Although we wanted to play with makeup, Alisa knew her hair needed some work first. It had been treated several months before, but had grown three inches of new hair in the meantime. Her natural hair color was dark brown (Level 2), but most of the length was a dull brassy brown (Level 6). 

Alisa could have returned to an overall dark brown, but she preferred a base color that would better match her naturally tanned skin tone. To transform her hair with a warm-toned medium brown (Level 5), I used Wella's Koleston Perfect color pigment, mixed with 20 Volumes Developer. The treatment resulted in healthier-looking hair with a brilliant shine that complemented her luminous skin. 

Simple by Day and Sexy by Night 

Makeup is one of the fastest, easiest ways to completely change a woman's look. At an Art Occasions photo shoot, I wanted to show how radically different two looks can be. With the model Alisa, I created a day look and an evening look.

The key to a day look is to apply all the usual things, but lightly and with less color. I started by applying the airbrushed foundation. The airbrush tool is not something most clients have in their home vanity case. However, it is the very best at creating a smooth, even look. Not only does it look natural, but it feels natural and holds up longer than the usual foundations. A light blush on her cheekbones left a touch of color. I added some eye shadow, applying various muted shades for the highlight, midtone, and contour. I blended all of the tones well then added the eyeliner. I added gloss to enhance Alisa's nude lips. Her portrait was taken in soft, natural light, such as you'd find in a simple morning wedding or other daytime occasion. The overall effect is simple, pretty, and natural.

For a more sophisticated look that a woman might enjoy in the evening or for a holiday party, she needs more color. I showed this look by using the same base of foundation on Alisa, but I added more intensely differentiated colors to her eyes and lips. I also added false eyelashes to make her eyes stand out more. At night, people are more likely to be illuminated by artificial lights or candles. This portrait was shot in incandescent light to illustrate how well the overall makeup appears under evening illumination.

Simone Wedding May,16,2009.

Rachanee was awesome!  I had to plan my bay area wedding from Los Angeles so had to select out of town vendors purely from recommendations on the web! It was a little nerve wracking, but it turned out so well! Rachanee met with me in my hotel room just 2 days before the wedding for my trial run (only time that worked for me!). I gave her pretty vague instructions--pretty, natural-medium makeup that covers/lasts all day and a soft up-do hairstyle. She showed me some pictures from her books/magazines to find things I liked and then ran with it! It turned out so great! On the day of the wedding she met in my hotel room and got me and my maid of honor ready in plenty of time...she really did a fantastic job on both of us. We got so many compliments and felt great all night. We didn't have to touch up our makeup once! I highly recommend Rachanee and Art Occasions for their wonderful work!

Karoline Wedding July,19,2009.

I'm so glad I chose Rachanee to do my wedding hair and makeup after doing a lot of research on wedding websites.  Rachanee is personable and amazing to work with.  She is flexible and patient in listening to my ever changing requests on how I wanted my hair and makeup done, and gave me excellent suggestions that helped me make a final decision on the wedding day.  I got so many compliments that day and most importantly, my husband LOVED my makeup and hair.  He loved that the makeup didn't overpower my face, but that it enhanced my features beautifully. Thank you Rachanee for making me a beautiful bride!

Great Review From Past Cleints!

Linda & Eric Wedding September,2009 Rachanee did my bridal hair and makeup and she did a fantastic job! My makeup looked beautiful and felt very natural. I was worried that I would need some touch-ups, but even after a 12 hour day, no touch-ups necessary!  My hair was pinned up in long curls, and the curls stayed in place all day, despite it being a very windy day.  At the end of the night, my hair was still neat and tidy.   Looking back at photos, I am extremely happy with the end result. I never felt as beautiful as I did on my wedding day, and it was all thanks to Rachanee.  Not only is she talented, she is also a pleasure to work with.  She is very professional, patient, and pays attention to your inputs.  I highly recommend Rachanee to anyone!

 If I could give Rachanee six stars I would! she is amazingly talented and professional and a sweet person on top of everything else. She did my hair and makeup on my wedding day and even returned in the afternoon to change my hair before the reception. She made me feel beautiful and that's so important on your big day. I got great compliments from family and guests. She was incredibly patient during my trial and handled my requests and changes with no problem. I would recommend Rachanee without hesitation.

Angela & Zack Wedding June,2009.

I feel very fortunate that Rachanee was part of my very special wedding day! She was professional and calm while chaos and emotions were flying around. She was easy to work with and made sure the desired look was achieved. She handled not only me but five bride maids also! All services were very professional and everybody turn out beautiful. We all are grateful and love her for what she did. I can't imagine ever getting better service and results than what Rachanee provided for me on my very special day!  I would recommend her to all.

Beautiful Bridemaids

I absolutely loved Rachanee's work on my hair and make-up (bridesmaid) and my best friend's hair (bride) and make-up for my friend's wedding. Rachanee is patient and sweet and genuinely listens to what you want to look like. It was so nice to have a hair and make-up artist that was friendly and calm on the big day. She was able to perfectly recreate a hairstyle I picked out from a magazine and she adjusted the bride's hair until it was EXACTLY what she wanted. Our makeup looked natural and not overdone. She did a great job managing time and getting both of us ready to go with hair and make-up done just in time to take pre-wedding pictures. I highly recommend Rachanee to anyone, particularly brides and bridal parties. Having Rachanee around will add to your day and you will look completely beautiful!
Thanks Rachanee!!
