Testimonial from Calgary SR Bride

 Testimonial from SR Bride Rupinder, working with Sharon Rai Hair & Makeup Artistry.

"My experience with Sharon was fabulous!  I did have high expectations as I have seen Sharon’s work prior to my wedding reception and I knew I could count on her.  My experience was unique as I live outside of British Columbia, and Sharon flew to Calgary, Alberta, to provide me with her service.

From the moment Sharon entered my room to begin my hair & makeup, she was upbeat, positive, and calming.  I was of course nervous about my big moment that evening, but Sharon was able to keep me calm, and helped me to enjoy every minute of the event.  Together we laughed, shared stories, and bonded as she worked on glaming me up.  Sharon was professional, yet down to earth and easy to talk to.  She ensures that she understands what it is that you want for your look, but is also able to provide you with tips and advice for your look. 

If I were to go back in time and do this all over again, there would be no doubt that I would request Sharon again! "

Testimonial from Victoria SR Bride

SR Bride, Roxanne, was a pleasure to work with for her wedding taking place in Sooke, BC.  Here is her review on her SR experience:

"We eloped this summer and I hired Sharon Rai Hair & Makeup Artistry for my hair and makeup and I couldn't have been more impressed with her professionalism and incredible service.  Sharon worked with me to tailor a package to what I needed that would work within my budget.  I had never had my makeup professionally done so I was a bit nervous as I didn't know what to expect. She listened to me and did exactly what I had asked. She offered her honest opinion of what would look best for me.  Her studio is so welcoming and I felt totally comfortable and at ease with her. 

Sharon, thank you for making my special day even more special with your talent and expertise. I will recommend you to everyone I know."

Nanaimo BC Bridal Makeup Artist || Nanaimo BC Bridal Hairstylist

Sharon Rai Hair & Makeup Artistry created Roxanne's look, for her wedding, which took place on a beautiful property in Sooke, BC.  Roxanne traveled from Nanaimo, BC, and arrived in-studio, before her ceremony.  She doesn't wear too much makeup, so she wanted to keep in the natural, pink tones, however wanted her eyes defined.  For hair, she did her research, and had an image she loved, we recreated the look, making a few changes to suite her face-shape & style, with a half up, half down, hairstyle.  She wanted a polished look, that looked great in person & on camera!
Roxanne looked great, view images of her on the Sharon Rai Hair & Makeup Artistry Facebook Page.
