A PRACTICED EYE FOR BEAUTY—IN PEOPLE, SPACES AND PLACES.
FOUNDER · MASTER ARTIST · PHOTOGRAPHER
I’m Sharon Rai—an award-winning Master Artist, stylist, photographer and co-founder of Avenue One. I bring one creative point of view to people, spaces and stories, while personally accepting a select number of bridal clients and private students.
ONE CREATIVE POINT OF VIEW
From bridal artistry to Avenue One.
Sharon founded Sharon Rai Hair & Makeup Artistry in 2008, built and personally trained a team, and became known for both South Asian and Western bridal artistry. In 2014, she was named Best Overall Hairstylist and Best Overall Makeup Artist in Canada. Through five years of producing Victoria WoW events in some of Victoria’s most beautiful venues, her eye expanded from styling people to styling spaces. In 2019, Sharon and Kal co-founded Avenue One.
