Bridal Hairstyling & Modern Colour Services in Ottawa

The Heart Behind Hair By Rae

Thirteen years ago, my love for bridal hair and updos inspired me to pursue a career in hairstyling. After training in Vancouver, I returned to Ottawa where I spent the past decade refining my craft behind the chair. While on maternity leave with my twin boys, I felt drawn back to where it all began, bridal hairstyling, which led to the launch of my mobile bridal hair service. Today, I specialize in on-location bridal hairstyling and personalized colour services, including modern blonding, in my private salon suite. My goal is simple: to create beautiful, effortless hair.

  • Raeanne made the entire wedding hair process run so smoothly! From our first point of contact she answered all my questions in a timely manner and was prompt to respond throughout the whole process. My bridal hair and my bridesmaids hair lasted throughout the night! Whether it was an updo or down, everyone looked beautiful and got exactly what they wanted! She made everyone feel comfortable and confident. I would highly recommend Raeanne for any event hair styling!

  • Hi!!! I just wanted to send you a message to thank you for Saturday. My hair was EXACTLY how I wanted. When I looked in the mirror when you were done, before I put the veil on, I was so, so happy. Thank you for making my hair dreams come true ❤️

  • Hi Raeanne, I just wanted to thank you so much again for doing our hair this weekend. The girls and I were completely obsessed with our updos! Somehow they still looked perfect after all of that insane wind to!!! You gals were so lovely to have around as well. Thanks you so much for everything.

  • Hi Raeanne! I just wanted to reach out and thank you for the beautiful work you and Emelina did on Saturday. Everyone looked gorgeous and the hair held up perfectly! My hair was everything I could've dreamed of, I loved it so much and it stayed just as beautiful and perfectly in place throughout the day, and the curls still looked perfect the next day!

  • Raeanne was amazing! She came to my hotel to do my hair for my wedding day plus my bridesmaids and my mom. She was able to do exactly what everyone wanted and better, leaving us feeling confident and beautiful. All of our hair stayed in all night and held up through all the dancing! All the girls hair she did were so different! My sister wanted to keep her curly texture, my friend had been suffering some postpartum hair loss, and Raeanne was just so good with giving everyone exactly what they wanted and needed! Raeanne was super easy to communicate with throughout the booking process and on the day she arrived on time, and even finished early leaving extra time for touch ups. She was an absolute pleasure to work with and I will be recommending her and booking with her in the future!

  • I highly recommend Raeanne as a stylist! She did my wedding hair as well as my family’s, and the experience was amazing from start to finish. She is incredibly professional, calm, and immediately understood my vision and brought my hair goals to life. Every curl was styled so carefully and perfectly — I’ve never felt more beautiful. She was also so accommodating with our location and timeline, and even arranged an extra stylist last minute to help the morning run smoothly. I’m so happy I found her and truly couldn’t imagine my wedding day with anyone else!

  • Rae did my bridal hair as well as the hair for my MOH and my mom and we were all so thrilled with the results! We had a loose idea of what we wanted and she gave the right amount of direction and was so kind and calm and just so lovely to be around. Would definitely recommend.

    Diliana

  • I was so thankful to have found Raeanne to be a part of my wedding day! She did my hair, as well as my four bridesmaids and my mom, and we all felt so beautiful. I wanted a sleek updo, and she absolutely delivered, somehow making it even better than my trial! Raeanne has such a warm and kind energy and was such a lovely presence to have with us on the morning of the wedding. I would highly recommend her. Thank you so much, Rae!

  • Raenne did my bridal hair and I honestly could not be any happier. Rae was extremely gentle, i'm someone with a sensitive scalp and I could barely feel anything! It was lovely chatting with her, she is extremely friendly and did an amazing job. My hair was so perfect, when night time came I did not want to undo my hair because it was just so beautiful. I highly recommend Raenne and will definitely contact her again when I need my hair done for any events. Thank you so much Rae, you made me feel so beautiful on this special day. 🫶🏻
