Testimonials
Spectacular experience. I visited Mind Body Skin Care in... October? And Rikki took good care of me, analyzed my skin type and gave recommendations for the best products I would need to take care of my face. I highly recommend her services!
Aria
/ AriaRikki did my makeup for a special event, and not only did I look fantastic, it stayed on all evening without fading!
Donna
/ DonnaI highly recommend Rikki Techner’s services for facials/skincare during transition! She helped me with my very sensitive skin that’s allergic to tons of stuff. I felt very affirmed in her space and during the procedure. I know it’s hard to find safe skincare folks and I appreciate that Rikki is supportive and a part of the LGBTQIA+ community.
Gray
/ GrayRikki was my make-up artist for my wedding and did an amazing job on me, my mom, and my maid of honor! I got compliments all day and night on my make-up. She is an amazing esthetician and artist - cannot recommend enough!
Kristen
/ KristenI’m working with Rikki right now and she’s incredibly fabulous. So non judgmental, understanding, and affirming. I’m hoping to continue to consult with her whenever I have an event I need to attend.

Rikki is AMAZINGRikki was an absolutely AMAZING make-up and hair artist for our wedding. She put both me and my now wife at ease. It was so awesome to have a queer person helping navigate our timelines and desires for our special day. Having her get us all dolled up was the perfect way to begin our wedding day. Also, our hair and make-up held up perfectly after hours in the hot St. Louis sun for pictures, many tears, and significant dancing.

Rikki is AMAZINGRikki was so, so amazing! She put us at ease, easy to talk to, and made us both absolutely gorgeous. It was so wonderful to have an amazing queer make-up artist who did not bat an eye about gender expression, was flexible with scheduling the day of, and so encouraging. She included my family in the getting ready process and was overall the perfect start to our wedding day. The included pictures are our hair and make-up after hours of pictures in the hot sun, many tears! Essentially, we put it through the ringer and it held up beautifully!
