The ShineForth Process

Beauty That Feels Like You—Only Elevated

How the Process Works

Every ShineForth experience follows a clear, thoughtful structure — designed to create calm, clarity, and confidence long before the wedding day.

1

Vision & Pre-Call

We begin by understanding your style, priorities, and how you want to feel — not just how you want to look.

2

Design Preview

Your features, skin, and proportions are assessed intentionally, with camera-tested design decisions made in real light.

3

Prep & Skin Focus

Guidance is provided so your skin and hair are supported well before the wedding day — reducing stress and guesswork.

4

Wedding Day

A steady, calm presence and approach that ensures your look lasts and photographs beautifully from first look to final frame.

What follows is the philosophy and intention behind each stage of the process.

Serving Weddings Across Napa, Sonoma & Santa Barbara

We all have a story to tell—and in the telling, both the listener and the teller are transformed. When you sit in my chair and face the mirror, I brush your hair as I listen to your vision, and together, your story unfolds.

You let go of the planning, the family dynamics, and the pressures of the day. Laughter and relief begin to surface. Your confidence grows as you catch a glimpse of your own elegant reflection.

Gone are the fears of heavy makeup or a look that doesn’t feel like you. In their place: natural contours, glowing skin, and effortless beauty. As you begin this next chapter—whether it’s launching a brand or walking down the aisle—you step into it as yourself: radiant, powerful, and beautifully seen.

That’s my work: to reflect back your natural beauty, elevated. Because when you feel like yourself, you shine forth.

Rebecca works with clients across the Sonoma, Napa, Sonoma, an destinations. Her services are trusted by brides, founders, and creative professionals who value refinement, comfort, and natural beauty.

Experience, Values & Inspiration

After decades of working behind the chair, directing salon teams, and styling for fashion and editorial, I realized what lights me up most: helping women feel fully themselves in the moments that matter most.

That’s why I created ShineForth—not just as a studio, but as a beauty experience that supports you before, during, and beyond the moment. Whether you're preparing for a wedding, a rebrand, or a campaign, my approach is always grounded in calm, care, and intentional design.
