What our clients are saying....
I cannot say enough good things about Rachel and her styling skills! I hired Rachel to do hair styling for my wedding (both my own and some of my bridesmaids), and I couldn't have asked for better results. I don't have the easiest hair to deal with, but the style Rachel gave me for my wedding was absolutely gorgeous and lasted from 8am until midnight that night. Everyone kept commenting on it--simply stunning. She also did a wonderful job with my bridal party--they looked absolutely incredible. And working with Rachel was a pleasure--she is extremely professional but easy going and easy to work with. I would definitely recommend Rachel to anyone looking for a good stylist!

Rachel did both my hair and make up for my wedding on 7/21/12 in Santa Barbara. I don't think I can say enough great things about her! She is so dang cute and was a pleasure to work with. Rachel responded quickly to all of my emails and it was very easy to communicate my needs/look for the wedding. I loved my make up and hair even more than when we did it for the trial! It all came out so great!! My hair stayed in all night. Rachel is truly great at what she does!! Loved getting to know her and having her there on my special day. Couldn't have asked for a sweeter person to help me look my best! NO complaints here.

Rachel was wonderful to work with for my wedding weekend in July. I had found her name on Yelp and was planning my wedding in Santa Barbara from Boston, so it was a relief to have someone who was prompt with email and easy to communicate with from far away. Rachel came to my parents' place on Friday night and did a test run for me for the wedding the next day, then finished my hair off in a lovely little down-do for the rehearsal dinner - an extra bonus for me and a hair do that I absolutely loved. On Saturday morning, we had a LOT of ladies to work on between hair and make-up. With two moms, seven bridesmaids, and me, Rachel and her team of three other stylists worked really quickly and very professionally. They really helped set the tone for the day. I did an up-do with a braid on each side, coming into a bun with a flower in back. Other girls had variations on that and down-dos as well. While I didn't have my make-up done by Rachel and Co., due to my cousin being a make-up artist and gifting me her services, I was really pleased with my hair and impressed it stayed in the entire night. The other ladies looked beautiful too. I think Rachel is creative, driven, and kind and feel so lucky that I found such a good artist for my wedding!
~ Gena Davis, Boston MA
Working with Rachel and her team was such a great experience. From the time I inquired about her rates and availability to the actual wedding day, she was so attentive and so involved. We had a large bridal party and she was so accommodating. Her work and the work of her team was amazing. The makeup and hair were so beautiful and more than I had expected. I highly recommend Rachel for your wedding or any special event!
~ Jessica Lorenzo, LA CA
I love Rachel!!!!!!! If you are looking for style, class, customer service, patience, Rachel is the one for you. I booked Rachel months before my wedding for myself and my bridal party. She did trials on each and every one of us before the wedding to make sure we were comfortable with her. She spent time on every single one of my girls and that meant the world to me, considering I was precisewith the type of style I wanted my wedding party to look like. Two of my bridesmaids are now engaged and have booked with her as well! I would recommend her to anyone and everyone. Her work deserves your business. The wedding was a huge succcess. My girls looked amazing and I absolutely loved my hair. If I could hire Rachel as my personal stylist, I would!!!!

After several attempts to locate a make-up artist (at the last minute) in the Santa Barbara area, I finally was connected to Rachel J. Perryman. I am so grateful that she was available to do my make-up for my 30th wedding anniversary event. Rachel's professionalism, warmth, and friendliness, made it very easy to trust her with my final look. I felt and looked very glamorous; everything that I envisioned it to be. I am very pleased and happy to refer Rachel to others!
~ Angie Mack, San Francisco CA
I am so happy that I found Rachel Perryman to do bridal and bridesmaids hair for my wedding! She displayed the highest level of professionalism - communicated clearly, was responsive, showed up early - and did a fantastic job on everyone's hair. One of the bridesmaids chose to have her make-up done in addition to her hair and looked absolutely stunning! Rachel listened well and made sure my hair was exactly how I wanted it. I loved my bridal up do! It stayed in place all night while looking and feeling natural and comfortable. It looked great in pictures too! Not only is Rachel an extremely talented and highly professional artist, but she is also a delightful person to be around! So is her assistant, Ashley! They really helped set the stage for a relaxing and wonderful wedding day. I highly recommend Rachel Perryman!
~ Ashley Richards, Santa Barbara CA
Rachel was amazing to work with! She took care of my wedding hair and makeup and I was very pleased with the look. She also took care of my mom and three other girls...modesty aside, we all looked and felt really beautiful. We all got amazing comments on our looks. Two of us had a trial before the wedding, and then changed our ideas a bit, and Rachel completely molded to our new desired looks. Rachel is a pleasure to work with, very punctual, friendly, fun, efficient, and focused on the ideal look that each of us wanted. Highly recommended stylist!!!
~ Jenniffer Rojas, Santa Barbara CA
I was getting ready to attend the MTV Movie Awards and needed last minute hair and make-up. Not only was Rachel extremely flexible, but she provided really wonderful, quality work. She listened to my needs, and went above and beyond my expectations! I wholeheartedly recommend Rachel for ANY occasion--bridal, photo shoot or special event.
~ Carrie Abernathy, Los Angeles CA
Rachel is a true professional. The afternoon of my event she showed up on time and equipped with the best of everything needed to do my hair and make-up. She was calm, peaceful, and beyond pleasant which put me in a calm, peaceful, and pleasant mood. Rachel knew the exact "up-do" to do on me in an effort to compliment my features. She also knew the exact make-up to put on me. I did not even have a consultation with Rachel before my event, I simply communicated to her what I needed/wanted and she understood. Rachel made me feel beautiful! In what seemed like no time at all, she transformed me
into an entirely different woman! I still looked like me, but she knew how to bring out the best in me in an effort to give me a new and classy look! My family and friends were full of compliments and curiosity as to who had done my hair and make-up. I have NEVER had so many people tell me how pretty I looked! And to Rachel, making me look that way was just what she does...it seemed like a piece of cake to her. Rachel is top-notch! Her talent is HUGE and her sweet personality just adds to the fun of getting yourself dolled up for a special event. I would HIGHLY recommend Rachel!
~ Kari Schmitt, Camarillo CA
First & foremost I want to thank Rachel for being a part of one of the most significant events in our lives. You were an absolute joy to work with & you turned me into a beautiful Bride. Rachel maintained opened communication with me. She would periodically check in to see how my wedding plans were going & whether I had new ideas, changes or concerns (we even discussed our precious children). She was readily available to answer my questions & always eased my nerves (she went beyond her call of duty). The day of my wedding she was on time, arrived to the venue before I did, & was prepared to go. Not once did I have to remind her of the Updo & makeup style I had chosen; she did it by memory & it was exactly what I had requested & envisioned (including the special little tweaks I had made). Rachel also styled my Mother's hair & she looked ravishing. You can see it in her stride that she felt beautiful & confident. Her professionalism, talent & amazing disposition makes this woman my absolute favorite Hair & Makeup Artist! I highly recommend!
~ Margaret Ochoa, Santa Barbara CA
Rachel is the best! She did my hair and make up for my wedding day. She did such a wonderful job and made a bride to be very happy! Rachel is very professional, very personable; she's just an all around delightful person to work with. I highly recommend Rachel and look forward to using her again in the future!
~ Michelle Wilcox, San Pedro CA
Rachel was amazing and she got to my room at 430 in the morning for my wedding that started at 630 and had me done just in time feeling like the beautiful bride I always dreamed of. She made my special day start amazing with her amazing and bright personality and she made me feel comfortable in her hands. I would recommend her for any and every occasion and she makes you feel like you have known her for years. She kept amazing contact with me until my wedding day and asked me for things I would like and she took my ideas and got creative, I loved it! She brought everything she needed and matched my color just from a simple photo I had emailed to her. She is an amazing person and a very talented hair and make-up artist. Thanks Rachel for making me feel like the most beautiful woman on my special day!
~ Lindie Cooper, Lemoore CA
I can not begin to tell you how satisfied and impressed I am by Rachel and her stylists. She was absolutely wonderful to work with. The quality of their work was amazing. My hair and makeup was flawless. I got so many compliments and was so happy with how it all turned out. The entire experience was awesome. I will definitely work with Rachel in the future.
~ Jennifer Martin, Montecito CA
Rachel is awesome! I emailed her a week before my wedding and she was on top of it. She showed up to our location before I did and patiently waited for us. From 2 pictures I'd sent over she matched my skin tone perfectly and made me up beautifully. My own Dad didn't recognize me, I looked so good. She also made my normally unmanageable hair look awesome. I asked for straight hair with a few curls (I have curly, frizzy hair) and WOW I looked like a model. I couldn't be happier with how I looked and it was all thanks to Rachel. I would recommend her again and again.
~ Robin Morris, Ventura CA
For one night of my life I felt like a movie star from the 1930's! Thanks to Rachel, I had the most authentic and beautiful finger waves for an art deco themed charity gala. At the event someone said, "Several people tried to pull it off, but you are the only one here that has the REAL hairdo!" Rachel is truly an artist. My makeup was flawless; dramatic, yet tasteful and subtle at the same time. On top of all this, she was prompt, professional, and truly a joy to spend an afternoon with. I cannot recommend her highly enough. I hope that I, or my daughters, get the chance to work with Rachel again for any grand event.
~ Sarah Therriault, Camarillo CA
Rachel was wonderful. She was very easy going and fun to have do my hair and make up. I have alot of hair and she did a fabulous job on it. Exactly what I wanted. At the last minute I had her do my make up and it was perfect. Girls I highly recommend her. She even helped me into my dress lol. Rachel - thanks again for making my special day even better. You were amazing!!
~ Cara Radcliffe Puglisi, Santa Barbara CA
If I had to describe Rachel in one word, it would be... STYLE. She took on the big job of hairstyling me and my army of bridesmaids for my wedding this past June. From my four younger sisters ranging from ages 10-18, to me and my older bridesmaids, Rachel did a fantastic job. She was able to create a style for each one of us that made us feel comfortable and gorgeous, while also taking into mind what we had also envisioned. She made sure that even months before the big day, she had an idea of what each person wanted and on the big day, her creativity and style shined. I appreciate all the time and energy Rachel focused on each bridesmaid and I could not be more happier with the way everyone's hairstyles turned out. The pictures are priceless, and I would recommend Rachel to do hair for any occassion and any style.
~ Jaclyn Yee, San Diego CA
I had the pleasure of having Rachel do my hair and makeup for an event I was attending and was beyond satisfied. She was punctual, sincere and had a great eye for her craft.

~ Leah H, Santa Barbara CA
Rachel is phenomenal. She was not only extremely talented but also very professional. She was hired to do my hair and makeup for my wedding. We did a trial before hand and I was so impressed by her creativity and talent that I hired her to do hair and makeup for my entire wedding party... Which was a party of 8. Rachel was set up before the girls and I arrived and although completely booked, was personable with each one of us. She took the time to make each of us very comfortable and make sure we felt beautiful. I recommend Rachel for any event. You will look stunning and feel amazing after she is done with you. Thank you Rachel for making me look so beautiful on my special day!
