Kauri & Co.

It’s been quite the week! Had the best time last night at The Studio at Belcourt’s Summer Gala with some of my favorite people!

Rhode Island has so much to offer and I’m grateful to be part of this community 🥰

Thanks for having us Nick Sarazen soso radio

There are moments that remind you why you work so hard and pour so much time into your career… this is one of them. I’m beyond honored and incredibly grateful to be celebrating not one, but two Best of Rhode Island wins this year AND to see my work on the cover/ inside the magazine 🥰

When I was asked by Rhode Island Monthly to glam Ashley Iaconetti Haibon with GLAM DONE WRIGHT | Erica Wright | MAKEUP ARTIST for the cover and an inside feature, it was an automatic yes! The cover was shot by the infamous (and one of my faves) JOSH ADAM PHOTOGRAPHER, featuring a custom bag by the talented Kent Stetson Handbags, custom nails by dream state beauty collective ☁️ RI hair + nail salon and gorgeous dresses from Feminine Fancies!

The Best of Rhode Island party was so much fun! Shoutout to Joe & Amanda Nigrelli for the gorgeous pieces I had the pleasure of wearing and to Trevor Turgeon- Pro MUA for the glam!!

I was shocked (and totally excited) when I went to pick up my award and was handed two plaques:

One for “Best Wedding Hair” from the Readers’ Poll, and one for “Screen-Worthy Hair” from the Editors’ Picks

I was once told by a family member that styling hair isn’t a “real career” and I’m grateful I didn’t listen. To have a career I feel passionate about and makes me happy is a true blessing I will never take for granted. A huge thank you to everyone who has supported me throughout the years! It’s all that love and support that makes the hard work worth it!!

So grateful to announce we’re a 2026 BEST OF RHODE ISLAND winner!!

Thank you to all our clients and friends for trusting us, supporting us, and being part of this journey!

Huge shoutout to the Kauri Sartini | Rhode Island Hairstylist team for always giving it 110% 🥰

Come celebrate with us at one of the most fun parties of the year!

The Best of Rhode Island party is on 7/23 at 6PM at the Waterfire Arts Center. Tickets can be purchased on the Rhode Island Monthly website 🤗

See you there!!

Thank you for having us Pat Garrahy and Briana 🥰

Looking forward to next year!

I might specialize in voluminous, glam styles, but I promise the naturally curly girls are safe here too 🥰
