Testimonials

"Ry-n has been working with us for many years and I highly recommend him for both hair and makeup. He executes flawless “natural looks” in his sleep and has amazing technical skills for more styled and/or creative looks. For over a decade every single client has loved his work. From high fashion to casual lifestyle and music videos to documentaries and commercials,
Ry-n is one of the best.
He understands how things work on a set and operates quickly and efficiently with an attentive eye for detail without being intrusive or interrupting the flow of a production. Regardless of your creative vision you will be thrilled with his results and find him a pleasure to work with."

"Ry-n is truly one of the absolute best for hair and makeup on Maui. He did my hair and makeup, along with my entire wedding party, for my own wedding, and I loved everything so much. As a Maui wedding planner, I also get to see his work with my brides, and they all say the same thing — he is the best. His talent speaks for itself, but what makes him even more special is how kind, professional, and easy he is to work with."

"As you browse Ry-n's portfolio you'll see beauty contestants, brides, and models. You might think — that's not me, and that's not what I need. But Ry-n may be exactly the right person for your headshots.
I'm a 70-year-old author who needed professional headshots for media appearances and my book jacket. Ry-n selected clothing that suited the message I wanted to convey, handled hair and makeup to enhance rather than transform, and through it all — I still look like me. The process was easy and unhurried.
I've received hundreds of compliments on these photos. If you need a full-service makeup artist and photographer who will meet you where you are — go with Ry-n."
