“When I heard I was working with Sharon Rai Hair and Makeup Artistry, I immediately went through her website looking at her pictures of the amazing looks she created for women. The complete transformation of their most important days demonstrated not only her talent, but the care she gave to each client, ensuring that the personal touch she gave was above what any woman could expect.
My entire life I have looked the same. Parted my hair the same way, put on the same type of makeup, looked the same in every picture that I dressed up in. When Sharon Rai took me into her studio and into her care, she transformed me into a woman I didn’t recognize! I never knew that I could look so radiant and beautiful, in ways I never expected or thought of. Her fresh approach to her styling my hair and the AMAZING job of my makeup gave me a brand new look, surprised not only myself and my husband, but my family, loved ones and friends.
The entire afternoon was about being pampered. We enjoyed the lovely selection of fine appetizers and refreshments in the comfort of her studio. As I had chosen her to stylize both myself and my husband for our photo shoot, I didn’t have to worry about a single thing. It was a stress free afternoon, relaxing in her good company, trusting that she was doing a far better job than I could ever hope to do. My husband and I enjoyed our afternoon without worrying about a time schedule, trying to fit in lunch, worrying about if my makeup was done right or if my hair was out of control or flattering. I’d choose Sharon Rai for every special day!
When considering a styling team for your big day, or any day that you deserve to be taken care of, please consider Sharon Rai Hair & Makeup Artistry. Her stellar talent for transformation is met with her kind hospitality, enjoyable company and dedication to creating the perfect look for you on that day. Don’t forget that a special day can be more than a wedding, graduation or other major event!
Thanks for making me look so amazing ♥”
