| My love affair for style, fashion and arts came from an early age. Growing up in a |
 |
| creative home, raised by crafty aunts, grandparents. Experiencing fine gourmet |
| cooking by mom, festive holiday art projects, listening to all types of music, |
appreciation for dance and theatre.
|
| I grew up in private schools wearing uniforms which felt were an Itch. Not being |
| allowed to self express myself through my clothing is where I look back to |
understand why I felt this way.
|
| The change came when I attended public school. This is where I started to |
| experiment which self expression from clothes, hair and makeup and discovering |
| the world of beauty. Meeting others who shared the same interest of style, dance |
and the passion of beauty is where it came inevitable to know this was my calling.
|
| After High School graduation, I got my California cosmetology license. My eyes got expose to the endless world of the Beauty |
| Industry. (For 2 consecutive years I received "The most creative Hair and Makeup Artist" Award- RCC ANNUAL COMPETITION) |
| Once I received my license for cosmetology, I started apprenticing master stylist educators side by side. I choose to work for |
| Carlton Hair International and was blessed to have been taught by the finest. I assisted the Master stylist as their right hand for a year. |
| I went through all Vidal Sasson training along with the Carlton Hair International mandatory weekly classes for at least a year. |
| Learning all precision haircutting on models and basically slaved until they thought I wass ready for my career as an Elite Hairstylist. |
| The Master stylist was extremely tough on me becasue as I look back I believe they saw the talent and drive I had to be the very best |
hairstylist.
|
| I built an extremely local clientelle for a good 9 years. During this time I was also perfecting my skills as a Hair and Makeup artist as |
| well as having the desire to jump into the makeup industry. At that point, I started freelancing as a M.A.C. Makeup artist, attending |
| and getting knowledge from attending London Hair shows, backstate L.A. Fashion Shows, private classes from all professional |
| companies such as Redken, Aveda, Bumble, Schwarzkopf, Wella, Loreal, M.A.C. Cosmetics, Shiseido and Paul Mitchell. |
Constantly updating my knowledge with Hair and Makeup and having a wonderful clientelle.
|
| I decided for a change in life and to switch it up for a tropical life and moved to Miami, Florida. During this time I was amazed by the |
| wonders of an online website. So I created a website where I catered to weddings, not knowing at the time the high demand for |
| an on location wedding Hair and Makeup Artist. I decided to give it a try and grabbed it by the horns and focused in the wedding |
| industry. 5 years later after being in Miami, I returned to my hometown in Southern California and experienced the wonderful |
| weddings that Southern California has to offer. One year later, after all of my travels in the different cities, I have decided to stay in |
beautiful San Francisco.
|
| Here is where I reside and plan to give my personal tough to all future brides. Looking back I understand everything that has happened |
| to me in my career as a stylist has now brought me to the place where I am at now. I am so fortunate and blessed to have this amazing |
| journey as a Hair and Makeup artist and I can actually change the way people feel and look about themselves. I love weddings and |
| enjoy being a part of the celebration of love. I am excited for what the present and future holds for me and to all my future brides. |
| Thank you for taking the time to read and hopefully I will have the honor in beautifying you for your special day. |
