I AM NOT A MAKEUP ARTIST OR HAIR DRESSER I am the girl who never wore make-up every day because it never lasted. A friend approached me about SeneGence cosmetics before my sister’s wedding. Skeptical about a Lip color that would last 4-16 hours I gave it a chance. I fell in love with the product, it lasted through pictures, ceremony, and reception. After reapplying the clear top gloss once before dinner. I have now become the girl who wears makeup every day, because I no longer need to worry about it smudging, or coming off, even when caught in the rain. What is even better, my lips do not dry out. The full line of cosmetics is Long wear Waterproof Smudge Proof Kiss proof The most popular starting product is LipSense there is a full line of cosmetics and skin care. The skin care line has SenePlex Complex speeding up cellular renewal by 23.3%. Contact me for more information regarding any of the products offered by SeneGence.

Growing up I always knew I wanted to be an artist but little did I know it would be doing hair! I thank my parents for seeing this opportunity for me and believing in my creative nature. I attended the Paul Mitchell Academy in 2005 and it was there I realized my purpose in life. For me, this is more that just doing hair, I see this as a gift and it is my way to connect and nurture the soul of others. My shining moments are when I can feel the confidence and beauty from my clients when they look in the mirror, it is then I know it was a job well done. As a licensed professional of 11 years, I have multiple years of continuing education while working as an industry educator for UNITE Hair Care. I have received the Redken Colorist Certification in 2012 and now manage my very own studio salon in North Royalton, OH. Providing on-site wedding services has been a great addition to my business as I feel inspired being in the presence of love! It is just as special to me to have the opportunity to be apart of someone's special day and my goal is to always provide a service that compliments the majestic vibe of you're wedding day. On my off time, I am at home being a mom to my little one and just love when my husband and I can spend the time together with our little family. We love the outdoors and staying physically active is an important part of my life. I enjoying hiking, camping and soaking up the sun (when we have it) traveling and experiencing new things. I am always looking for our next adventure, and can't wait until our daughter is old enough to truly embrace what the world has to offer.

Wanting to hire a makeup artist? Excellent idea and you deserve it! Booking your makeup artist during the early stages of wedding planning is so very important. No matter where you are located, I am sure you will find makeup artists are booking up quickly. I even have clients scheduling a year or more in advance. With technology advancing and creating better HD cameras, brides understand the need for professional quality makeup and hair. I've been doing makeup professionally for over 30 years. It is my goal to make every woman look and feel more beautiful by enhancing the beauty she already possesses! I enjoy working with anyone [male or female] that has a love for makeup! As a teacher, we work together to show you proper techniques, applications and how to create the looks you want. We go through your makeup drawer and find what works... and often what doesn't ... and find those items you may need to add to your collection. As a makeup artist to photographers, I strive to give them exactly the look they are wanting to achieve. As a makeup artist to models, brides, etc., I do trial runs, come to your location and attention is focused solely on your wants and desires. I can't imagine any other event other than your wedding day where you will be the center of attention and have oodles of cameras focused on you. A quality photographer can capture fantastic images, but if the subject isn't camera-ready, the end result will only be as good as its weakest link. Aim for the best you can find and make it happen. You have a stellar venue, an awe-inspiring dress, an incredible photographer and I can give you the most elite makeup you can locate in NE Ohio! When it's all said and done, the photographs will outlast the most heartfelt of warm wishes. This isn't a dress rehearsal and there is no do-over. Be sure you have the most amazing images to reflect on for years to come! You won't be disappointed. I will travel, so if you have a destination or out-of-state or area wedding and want your own private makeup artist to be a part of your day...take me along! Also, makeup artists aren't JUST for weddings! Have a family photo, holiday event or other professional photos being taken? Cameras are clicking so you will want to look your best!!
