Hey there,
I'm Kristen
​​​​
I am a licensed cosmetologist and a certified makeup artist serving MD/DC/VA and beyond. I have been specializing in hair and makeup for weddings, photo shoots, pageants, and special events for over 10 years.
I have been in the beauty industry for over 12 years.
I worked at a salon as a receptionist and an apprentice while I obtained my Bachelor's Degree at the University of Maryland. After attending college, I decided that I wanted to continue my passion in the beauty industry. I attended cosmetology school and became a licensed cosmetologist and certified makeup artist.
I find it so rewarding to make people feel good about themselves. Whether it be a wedding, engagement, pregnancy, senior year, or another important time in life, I am happy to make you feel confident and beautiful.
