I’ve been a professional Hair and Makeup Artist since the first generation iPhone. I taught myself everything I know, and now I’m a Bridal Hair and Makeup Artist for BHLD-dress-wearing, Tom Ford lipstick-loving brides and
their bridal parties.
Serving brides and their besties
That little “hobby” of mine went on to support my husband’s lifelong goal to become a firefighter and my dream of working on my own terms — doing work I *actually* enjoyed.
for over 500 weddings, snagging some Best Of awards, serving
brides on the coast of Santa Barbara, on rooftops in the OC, and in swanky ballrooms in LA.
What began as a fun hobby in college turned into a thriving hair and makeup
business
After my husband and I had our first child, our world was rocked to the core. Born with Cerebral Palsy, Jaxlee had to struggle to do basic developmental skills. In those early newborn days when I left her in the NICU instead of snuggling with her at home, something inside of me changed for good. Yes, I’m here to talk about how to make you look beautiful on your wedding day and how to turn your hobby into a career, but on my blogs and on my social accounts, you’ll also hear about my passion for clean living, special needs, and the faith that grounds me when everything feels hard.
beyond the chair
let me set my brush down
After years of serving brides who wanted a luxe experience for their special day — and having three kids — I’ve scaled my business back so I serve a select number of brides each year and up-and-coming bridal hair and makeup artists.
Scaling a business & teaching others
