Testimonials

I started with a makeup lesson where I was introduced to RDG’s unique makeup kit. These kits contain 30 products (blush, eye shadow, lipsticks, lip/eye pencils, makeup tools) color coordinated for all skin tones. The kit is compact, nicely packaged and TSA approved. I LOVE my kit and it makes preparing for the day a breeze.
Next, I had the color analysis service that opened up the possibilities and affect such attention to my wardrobe provides. The results and reaction have been amazing.
Rhoda’s branding and professional image development counseling led me to take a leap of faith and update my headshots for my business. My previous color analysis with RDG influenced the colors I chose for the 3 different wardrobe changes for the photoshoot and the makeup selections for each. Rhoda was able to suggest statement necklaces from her beautiful and unique gemstone jewelry products. Two of those necklaces were so perfect for my wardrobe selections that I purchased them. Additionally, she accompanied me to the shoot to do my makeup for each shot. I am thrilled with the results.
Rhoda takes a genuine interest in her clients that is heartfelt. I am forever grateful to RDG and better because of this connection." Janice F Taylor, Broker Associate, City Park Realty





"I am pleased to have had a re-creation by Rhoda Design Group of my overall look. I appear as a speaker on 4 to 6 Zoom calls per day for the past 6 months. When I saw how Rhoda helps with your personal style, I was anxious for her advice.
As a result of her assistance, I gained greater confidence in my presentations. I received positive comments about my new look and I began taking more time with my personal style before getting in front of the camera. Thanks, Rhoda for giving me new confidence which has improved my business as well." Joyce Brooks, Ed.D, Brooks Associates Owner
"It was so wonderful to have Rhoda's energy on set. It felt like she had always been a part of our community, even though it was our first time working together. She was professional, attentive to details and engaged with our mission. I also LOVE the artwork she created on my face. Rhoda helped me feel confident and ready to deliver my message. Thank you Rhoda!" Michelle Fox Culinary Nutritionist
"I attended Rhoda's Fall Makeup Masterclass hoping to get a few tips and products to camouflage my blemishes. I walked away instead with the tangible and emotional tools to accentuate my features without losing myself. Rhoda was patient, honest, knowledgable and encouraging and she gave me the boost I needed to start showing up powerfully in every aspect of my life" T. Pope
Working with Rhoda was one of the best brand coaching experiences I have ever had! Rhoda asked me all the right questions and even did some market research to really understand how to present my very unique brand to the world. Rhoda intentionally made it her job to understand me, my brand and how to elevate my clothing style, my hair and even my makeup to propel my brand to new levels. After it was all said and done, I walked and talked like the stunning CEO I've always dreamed to be. Thank you Rhoda Design Group! Jessica Newton, CEO & Founder of Vibe Tribe Adventures
"Rhoda's Fall Makeup Masterclass is so much more than make up - it's about looking at your lifestyle which is 80% of how our skin is and having a comprehensive, effective, safe skin care routine before you get to put on any makeup. I learned the importance of each stage of a skin care routine and carried them out in the class. I also learned a great natural looking technique to shape my eyebrows and which colours work with my skin tone and hair."Towani Clarke, Chief Energy Overhauler/Founder of Kuthuta Yoga
To Whom It May Concern:
I’m writing this letter in support of the wonderful work that Rhoda Johnson has provided the Black Business initiative and many other businesses and professionals over her illustrious 30+ year career. Rhoda was referred to us by another organization doing work in Denver’s inner-city community and thought that she would be a great fit for our Capacity in Construction Workshop series.
After speaking with Rhoda I knew that she was the right fit to explain and demonstrate the importance of a polished professional image to a diverse group of professionals in the Denver Metro Area.
Rhoda’s passion for this type of work and seeing people feel and look good to unleash their potential, sets her apart from the rest. She was able to organize a 7-week program that touched subjects from “How to show up to an interview looking and feeling you best”, to “Proper zoom meeting etiquette”. Although, some of these workshops were gender specific the feedback was always positive and that is because of Rhoda and the way she allowed every class to be 100% interactive.
I would absolutely recommend Rhoda for whatever it is that your company needs, and I am sure she will exceed all of your expectations!
Best Regards,
Chris Cleveland Programs Director, Black Business Initiative





"I am beyond grateful for the blessings you bestowed upon me as I prepared for my TedxTalk: https://goo.gl/aDiLaU Your attention to detail and working to insure that I looked my absolute best was awe inspiring to watch and I don't have the words for what it felt like to be in the center of it all.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you so very much for all you did to make my TedxTalk experience a monumental highlight of my life."

Looking effortlessly radiant on your wedding day is what most brides desire. Rhoda Johnson made this dream a reality, providing stunning make-up application. Her vast experience, knowledgeable and expertise made feel confident and beautiful! She listened to my vision for the wedding and then offered her unique approach in beauty tips that are valuable beyond the wedding day with her natural skincare, makeup line and color recommendations.
I was consumed by stress leading up to the event, resulting in a bad breakout. In a panic I picked at my face in an attempt to smooth out its rough texture. My plan terribly backfired when I peeled off a layer of skin leaving me feeling exposed, ugly, and insecure. It was my worst fear realized. I’ve always dreamed of having good skin and dreaded walking down the aisle. Rhoda did not judge how I looked nor criticize me for making a poor decision. Rather, she was warm and loving, helping me to build excitement for the awaited ceremony.
Rhoda boosted my confidence by applying flawless make-up that camouflaged my irritated skin. To my relief everyone commented on how much they loved my make-up and how beautiful I looked, not realizing the insecurities that lied beneath the surface. Rhoda Johnson is remarkable, her established genius and problem-solving strategies allowed me to live out a dream. Salina Salazar-King
"Rhoda is the most amazing stylist, makeup artist and jewelry designer I have ever known! Working with Rhoda changed my life, professionally and personally, and I’ve never looked back. I owe her so much. Every time, I want to reassess my personal and professional brand, I start by meeting with Rhoda.
She has literally transformed my look from head to toe on numerous occasions -- for signature community events, TV interviews and the marketing launch of my consulting business. If you want to look and feel beautiful, confident and stylish, I highly recommend that you embark on a life-changing journey with Rhoda Johnson as I have." Thank you, Rhoda, for what you do for others — and just thank you for being light and love in this world!"

"Rhoda provided a color analysis for me that was very helpful for selecting appropriate business attire for specific occasions, for example, appearing on television, making a presentation in the board room, or coaching clients, etc. While I was already wearing many of the same colors that she recommended, I eliminated several colors that were not my best colors. Rhoda also recommended specific hem lengths, cuts, and accessories that pull everything together and communicate my brand and message consistently. Her recommendations included items I currently owned as well as a checklist for specific items I should purchase as I expand my business wardrobe. I am now more confident with my choices, which translates to more confidence in my business." Peggy Mitchell Clarke, Ph.D. President Living Well Press
"I sought Rhoda out because I was running for political office and needed to really up my game and my appearance. These are such touchy subjects and nobody wants to hear that their look is dated or not good enough. Rhoda came to me with friendship and warmth and made me feel completely comfortable with exploring new techniques without having to throw out everything I had bought or done in the past. When she was done, I had a new look, new tools, and a confidence that I could continue to have a professional, well kept appearance on my own. I have stayed in touch with Rhoda and would recommend her to anyone who wants to take a fresh look at their appearance and how it can impact the rest of their lives."
