I became a self-taught makeup artist after my interest sparked when I got married to my high school sweetheart in 2018. I attended YouTube University & got really good at doing my own makeup. Throughout 2019 I got friends + family ready for special events & decided to start taking clients in 2020. In my free time I love binge watching shows, visiting the beach and listening to R&B music!

Art has always been a creative outlet for me. I found my passion at a very young age when I started doing hair for dances & school events. After graduating cosmetology school, I knew I wanted solely focus on bridal styling and have been doing it for 8 years! I love bringing my brides vision to life and building connections that go beyond hair. I can’t wait to meet you and be a small part in your special day.

I've always had a passion for all things beauty since I was a little girl. After completing my bachelors degree in Social Work I decided to pursue my dream job, being your hair and makeup artist! Although the two career paths seem very different I have found one thing they share in common, the desire to empower others. My goal as an artist is to make you feel like your most beautiful self on your big day.

Hey, I'm Rachel! I've been a hairstylist for 12 years, but I didn't discover my love of Bridal styling until about 5 years ago. The energy of the wedding morning is unmatched, and I'm so privileged I get to be a part of such a grand event in people's lives. When I'm not working, I love spending time with my 3 beautiful daughters, staying active, being outdoors, and binging hair videos online. Watching my client's love their reflection and feel confident on their wedding day is why I do what I do. I cannot wait to meet you!

I was born in Jamaica and migrated to the United States in my early teenage years. My journey with makeup started 13 years ago in NY. I had a client who insisted I did the makeup for her wedding party. Since then, I fell in love with bridal makeup! I am so excited to be a part of the The Lovely AC Team! I believe every woman is beautiful; my goal is not to enhance but to highlight the natural beauty that every bride has. Dear future bride, I want you to walk down the aisle on your special day, feeling beautifully you.

After going to school for Criminal Justice and working as a corrections officer for almost two years, I felt a massive part of me was missing. I was always creative and loved makeup. I started doing makeup on the side, and my artistry contributed to grow & grow. I’ve been in the Bridal and Special event industry for 7 years and I love every second of it. I’m confident in my knowledge of color theory and the ability to do makeup looks that have a wide range. Super natural to full glam & anywhere in between. I’m your girl!

Since the age of 16 I’ve loved exploring makeup techniques & making people feel beautiful. In 2019, I quit my promising 9-5 to be a stay at home mama and raise my children. I launched my blog, started content creating & finished my Masters in Healthcare Administration, but makeup was still a big passion of mine. Soon after, I dove back into my love for this industry and joined the best team- Brides by Blake. I am a Target obsessed, coffee loving mama of three kiddos and a dog, and a wife to my high school sweetheart.

After having my daughter I started to feel like I wasn’t myself. I wanted to feel good again, I wanted to look good again. So I started to play with makeup. I would stay up late and watch YouTube videos. I used to practice on anyone who would let me. That transpired into wanting to make other people feel & look good. I knew if I had felt this way, then I was sure there were others who felt the same way. Makeup became a creative outlet that also allowed me to see my clients look at themselves in a different light.

I was born in Ghana. My parents moved my only brother at the time, and I to the US when I was 3. I’ve always played in my mom’s makeup growing up and wore makeup most of my teen years until now. My friends would ask me to do theirs and that’s where my love began to grow. I love contributing to the confidence every woman has when she sees herself glammed. Every woman deserves to not only look phenomenal, but to feel it as well! We’re all queens here.
