R. Friend Beauty

When we say “We can set up anywhere, as long as we have an outlet.” We literally mean anywhere. From the middle of the woods, to kitchens, to bridal suites, WE GOT YOU FRIENDS. 🤍🌲✨

You booked your glam team… now what?

This is where the magic (and the spreadsheets 😂) come in. Every R. Friend wedding gets a custom timeline. For the bride, the party, and our artists! So the morning runs smooth and you can actually enjoy it.

Glam time should feel like champagne + calm, not chaos + clock-watching.

🖤 Beauty that shows up — for everybody.

Hi friends!

I’m so excited to finally introduce my new business — R. Friend, a mobile beauty bar based in WA & MT.

I’m still in the early stages of transitioning from my old salon work to this dream of mine, so thank you for your patience while I get everything up and running!

I’ll be focusing on bridal styling, special event hair + makeup, and eventually mobile haircuts and color too.

If you’ve got a wedding, party, elopement, or just need to feel ✨really good✨—I’d love to be youR. Friend 😉🖤.

Follow along for updates, behind-the-scenes, and booking info!

(P.S. If this page looks a little familiar—it’s because it used to be my stylist page! I’ll be slowly transitioning everything over to R. Friend Beauty here, so thanks for sticking with me 🖤)

Whitefish, Red Union Salon, Montana… this is a bittersweet goodbye 💋

As many of you know, I’m recently engaged and am moving to the Seattle area to be with my (incredibly funny and handsome) fiancé beginning of April 25’. I’m forever grateful for all that have sat in my chair and trusted me, both with your hair and your stories. I will continue to be doing hair in WA, and will continue to be doing bridal hair and makeup in both MT and WA. (Still have some Montana wedding slots available 🕺🏻🪩). Would love to see your bright shining faces in the few appointments I have left before I leave. Cheers to new chapters and those that have already been written. 😚✨

Modern Mullet Monday is a thing right??

Hey cool cats and kittens! I’m Ruthie 😌. I’m a Montana native hair and makeup artist. A lover of blondes to vivids, and pixie cuts to 24 inch wefts. I am certified in “The Crown Method” for hand tied hair extensions, published makeup artist, and former brand ambassador of CroppedNYC Salon who specialized in women’s short cuts. My favorite part of the industry is the artistry and making people feel their best selves. I truly hope when you’re in my chair you feel a sense of relief and positivity. And I hope when you leave my chair you feel a little more grounded in yourself and bit of a pep in your step 😌! If you don’t see me in the salon you can catch me frolicking with my dog in the woods, vinyl hunting, knuckles deep in the garden, or whipping up a home cooked meal. Let’s get you right babes ❤️.
