Raney O’Keefe

Raney was our last minute miracle as we had somehow left securing a hair and make-​up company to the end of the list. We loved her easygoing personality and her impeccable style. After our trials, we were wishing we’d planned somewhere special to go since we looked so lovely! Raney and her assembled team handled hair and make-​up for 9 of us and everyone truly looked beautiful. The styles and make-​up lasted through the emotions of the evening as well as the Atlanta heat, and we were all still looking wonderful into the wee hours of the morning at the after party. If you’re looking for a hair and/​or make-​up resource, Raney is the best by far!

I have had eyelash extensions and refills from Raney and they are beautiful. I went at 2.5 weeks for the refill and still had most of the original lashes still attached.
I also had a blowout and make-​up done prior to an important job interview. She boosted my confidence with well done make-​up that wasn’t over the top.

Raney is the best at eyelash extensions. She’s quick but fastidious and is a blast to talk to. I’ve never had a problem with my extensions, and even though the appointment is long, I find myself looking forward to a chat session with the one and only Raney. Highly recommended!

Oh man. Luscious lashes, beautiful makeup, gorgeous girl.
My husband made fun of me for getting eyelash extensions for our wedding– but I’m so glad I did. They look amazing in all the pictures– completely natural and I loved not having to wear mascara. I find it hard to justify the expense for just walking around everyday, but if you’re a soon-​to-​be bride, you NEED eyelash extensions. For real. You’ll thank me later.
She also spent 2+ hours coaching me on makeup in her adorable kirkwood home, talking me down from the ledge of my lack of self-​confidence, giving me samples, writing everything down so I wouldn’t forget. She’s amazing. And gorgeous– I only want makeup advice from someone who looks like the ingénue from a black and white movie. I mean, aside from the occasional drag queen.
I miss my lashes! I think about getting them again from time to time. But they’re like getting acryiic nails– endless fill ins, constant maintenance. But they are gorgeous.

Only Go To Raney For This Service.
This is worth the time and money it if it’s done right. And Raney does it right. Meticulous is the best word for it. And all you have to do is lay there and enjoy her sparkling conversation. The process is simple — the gluing of individual synthetic lashes with medical grade adhesive. However there could be major room for error. You can trust Raney to do this correctly. She’s also X-​Treme certified which means she’s had professional training.
Now, should you do it? The lashes are gorgeous. I’ve gone in for one placement and one fill-​in. I wish they lasted a bit longer (you’ll cry when you shed one), but that’s not Raney’s fault, it’s the natural process that occurs. I’ve looked into Latisse, but X-​Treme seems safer (users of Latisse claim redness of the eyes, itching, and the potential for iris discoloration — too much of a gamble for me).
Eyelash extension placement takes time, but it makes eye make-​up extraneous. It’s also expensive, but it made me feel really confident around both my husband and whomever else I felt the need to bat my new lashes to. It’s worth the splurge. And you will love Raney.

I couldn’t thank Raney enough for making me look so beautiful on my wedding day. Her talent isn’t limited to make-​up, she did an amazing job styling my hair as well. It was important for me to not be transformed into a completely different person and I looked so glamorous while still feeling like myself. Raney was very professional and easy to work with. I trust Raney 100% and highly recommend her services.

I never thought I would like «fake» lashes but I decided to give Raney a try. Wow! Who knew they could be so much fun! I haven’t put on mascara in weeks and they look so natural. They are lightweight — you can’t even tell you have anything on your eyes. Even my husband was singing their praises. I believe his exact words were — «those look amazing». While that might not sound like much of a compliment, hearing it murmured in your ear in Italian definitely makes you realize you got your money’s worth… ;)
Raney uses Xtreme lashes which are made of synthetic fibers and adhered to your individual lashes with a medical grade adhesive. That’s great because you don’t have any obvious glue lines. They are super safe and gentle and won’t harm your natural lashes. She has various colors to choose from — including colors! After getting them there is no use for mascara!
They will last up to two months with fill-​ins taking place every 2 to 4 weeks. Since they are on your natural lashes they will shed as your natural lashes grow.
Raney is great — very precise, professional and meticulous. Just what you want in a lash stylist! She’s also very fun to be around and makes the time pass quickly.

«Hello Fabulous» is what everyone was saying after Raney put on my fantabulous lashes! I never thought lashes would make such a dramatic difference. I tried lash extensions to see for myself and WOW! I absolutely love waking up, not putting on makeup and turning heads as I blink. She suggested purple highlights and I LOVE them! My eyes pop rock and roll. Raney is a brilliant artist with a detailed, caring touch and is such a pleasure to be around.
