Jessica's wedding.


3/29/2012
Rachanee did a great make-up job for me in my wedding. It is so so so beautiful and natural. She is very professional and patient, it took almost 3 hours for the first trial and since I had to go to city hall in time we did not have a chance to communicate deeper but later on we emailed and I told her what else I need to high light and so on. In my wedding after she came I asked for a soft and loose look for my hair which I did not try before and it is perfect!
For the make-up, I have to say her skills never let me down, especially the fake eye lash, so natural, it looks like my own real eye lash!

And it's my mom's first time to try the makeup. And she is very satisfied with her look! She said it's perfect and it's the best hair style she's ever tried.

I really appreciate all she did in my wedding!

Gina's wedding.

I will definitely recommend Art Occasions to all my engaged friends. Rachanee did my hair and makeup for my wedding as well as my mothers hair. She was extremely professional and artistic. I did a trial at her home studio a few months prior and she brought my vision to life. She had lots of suggestions and references to use so we established a clear picture of what I was looking for before she even got started. She created a beautiful, unique updo and lovely airbrushed makeup. On my wedding day, she arrived on time at my hotel and finished my hair, makeup, and mothers hair by the time we had agreed on. The look lasted all night and photographed beautifully. I was so happy with the finished result. Thanks again Rachanee!!

Kimi & John wedding.

Rachanee is an excellent hair and make-up artist.  She was professional, but also, flexible and personable.  I will definitely hire her again for my next special occasion and highly recommend her service to everyone.

I had 7 hour pre-wedding photo shoot.  She did my initial hair and makeup in the morning and changed my hair styles about 5 times during the photo shoot.

As every bride experienced before, I couldn't choose between long hair styles and updo hair styles, so I decided to have both.  I researched a lot of hair/makeup artists in the bay area.  I contacted pretty much all artists from http://theknot.comand http://yelp.com.  I was looking for someone who could do the natural makeup and variety of hair styles.  Moreover, even tho it was 7 hours, considering driving 6 different places in SF, changing clothes, walking and taking pictures, the time was very tight.  Therefore, I needed someone who know the styles and practice them beforehand, so it can be done as fast as possible.  After getting quotes and reviewing each artists' portfolios, I finally chose Rachanee.

I emailed her a bunch of photos of the hair and makeup styles I like.  During our trial, she had them printed out already and I could see she was prepared.  she pretty much knew what I liked and did a good job.  We timed how long it took to do one hair style to do the next.  She took each pictures, so she could practice later.  Of course, there were times that I didn't like the style.  I told her my concerns, and she listened to me and changed it until I was satisfied.  She was a very hard worker.

Lastly, as I mentioned previously, I got a lot of quotes from different artists, and her rate was one of the most reasonable price considering their experiences.  Also, FYI, I liked pictures from yelp than her website for some reason, so make sure to check out the pictures from yelp.  I hope this helps!!
