Rachel Z Riley Beauty LLC

"Rachel is the best of the best! When I inquired about her services she was immediately responsive and called me. I loved her energy over the phone and knew she would make my wedding day special. We had so much fun chatting at my trial. And then she absolutely blew everyone away with her work on my wedding day! Madison also did a wonderful job. Everyone looked beautiful and had nothing but great things to say about Rachel, Madison, and the beautiful hair they created! We can't thank you enough!!"

"I quite literally was the luckiest with all of my vendors, Rachel and her team being of the big ones. She did my hair on three different occasions, one for my engagement pictures, my bridal hair trial and then wedding. I asked if we could add glitter to my hair and she was up for the additional ask. She is very easy to talk to and very open to hearing if there is anything you would like to change. My hair is really heavy and I have a good amount of hair, yet none of my hair at the end of the day was out of place even after all the dancing and sweating. My bridesmaids when we started were wanting to do their own hair, but I promised them I found an amazing team and knew they would not be disappointed. Each of the ones that said that to me, after getting their hair done was so thankful she is who I chose. It made the morning of that much easier, it was fun chatting with her and it was not awkward having them around in the morning. I would recommend her to anyone that wants their hair done professionally for any event. Thank you for absolutely everything you have done for us and making me feel beautiful!! ❤️"

"I would absolutely recommend Rachel Z Riley for hair services to any future bride! Rachel is thoughtful, attentive, quick to respond, professional, knowledgeable, and so warm and friendly. I felt confident in the service I would be receiving even before my bridal hair preview based on the presentation of her work on Instagram. After my hair preview, I really knew I had made the right choice! She effortlessly created the exact look that I was hoping for. I loved visiting her studio which has been thoughtfully decorated and stocked with refreshments. Before the wedding, she created a wedding day schedule for me and my bridesmaids to follow. She also sent a very helpful guide to everyone receiving hair services about how to prep for the big day, including clear instructions on how/when to wash our hair, and how to choose a style with a friendly reminder to save inspiration photos and have them handy day-of. This took one thing off of my very full plate and I appreciated it! On wedding day, she arrived on time and got right to work. Her warm and bubbly personality made everyone feel comfortable, and I know they would all agree when I say I felt like I had made a new friend. She listened carefully to each person when it was their turn in the chair and created a look that everyone absolutely loved. She stayed on schedule and we were right on time for our bridesmaid photos. Our hair and all accessories (including my veil) lasted ALL day and night, through the first look, breezy conditions for photos and ceremony outside, lots of hugs, and two hours of dancing our hearts out on the dance floor. Finally, she even gifted each of us a touch-up bag to use throughout the night, if needed (we didn’t!!). We received so many compliments on our hair and we all felt absolutely beautiful. I hated to take it down at the end of the night! For these reasons, I would not hesitate to recommend Rachel Z Riley Beauty to any future bride!"

"Wow! Where to begin… Rachel is incredible! I’m probably one of her biggest fans and have been following her since started her own business. I live on the other side of the country so I was ecstatic to have her so my hair for a wedding in Culpeper, VA! I showed her a couple and pictures and boom! Perfection. Rachel also has the perfect personality for a stylist - if you need quiet and calm, done. If you need energy and to chat it up, done. If you need to vent or share your deepest secrets, done. She has a true gift with hair and really cares about her clients. Not to mention, her studio is adorable and comfortable! 11/10 would recommend!"

"Rachel styled my hair for our family photo shoot, and she did not disappoint!!! I loved visiting her beautiful studio where she styled my hair in a stunning half up-do. She worked quickly while taking time to make sure every curl and twist looked amazing and would hold up for several hours. Her attention to detail and knowledge of how to work with different hair types are what every stylist should have! I highly recommend her for styling your hair for any special occasion- a party, a family photo shoot, weddings, proms… she’s got the perfect hairstyle for your needs!!"
