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!!

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!

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!

I couldn’t recommend Rachel more highly! She is not only incredibly skilled but is also a breeze to work with and extremely well organized. I never had to think twice about the hair for my wedding once I booked Rachel- she handled reminders, the hair trial, educating me on hair extensions, timeline of hair for everyone in the wedding party, and most importantly the actual day flawlessly. My hair was gorgeous thanks to Rachel, and I keep getting compliments on the style! Rachel understood what I was looking for so quickly and executed it flawlessly. She’s also just a gem and brought a wonderful fun vibe to our wedding day! Thank you Rachel ❤️

Rachel is a gem…she literally duplicated all the hairstyles me and my bridal party showed to Rachel and her assistant. We all received endless compliments throughout the evening. Rachel is extremely personable, professional and tons of fun to spend time with! We were together from 9:45am – 5:30pm w/me and my bridal party and it was such a fun experience! She is now my go to for any special event hair…I know I can trust her and wouldn’t go anywhere else. Thank you Rachel!!!

Rachel blew us away with her skills. communication, and skills. We asked her to coordinate hair for 4 very different people (one who dyed her hair teal the week before the wedding) and she made all of us look stunning. I can’t think of anything I’d change about her. She’s personable, she’s skilled beyond what I could have asked for, and she made me feel super special! THANK YOU so much for helping make my day super amazing.

How do you write a review about someone who quite literally played one of the most integral parts in creating the best day of your life? How do you put into words the absolute magic and joy that is the stunning Rachel Z Riley? I don’t know. But I’m going to try.
