Specialties

I specialize in on-​location hair and makeup services for pretty much anything you can dream up… Photo-​shoots of all kinds, commercial/​film, bridal, special occasion, one-​on-​one tutorials as well as makeup parties, or any time you need to look amazing. I strive to create a special bond with my clients because I love what I do and I want everyone I work on to love what I do as well! I also offer airbrush foundation and men’s grooming services.

History

Established in 2006.

I began doing makeup in 2003 in New York City, working on various projects with amazing people and learning every step of the way. In 2006 I moved back to CA (where I’m from), and attended cosmetology school. Before long, I began to receive offers to do beauty pageants, theater work and weddings. My business took off from there! In early 2012 I moved back to my beloved NYC and I enjoy working on runways and photo-​shoots, in film, on the beautiful faces of brides and bridal parties, with celebrities, and with anyone who just wants to feel beautiful. My work is my passion and I strive to bring that passion to each and every client I work with.

Meet the Business Owner

James M.

Business Owner

Here’s me in a nutshell!

I was born and raised in the Wine Country of Northern California. I’m a small-​towner at heart, but I live and thrive in NYC. When I’m not doing the work that I love, I’m either testing new products, in classes learning new and fun things, or pulling inspiration from the world around me. I am OBSESSED with making people beautiful. I believe that people look the most beautiful when they FEEL the most beautiful, and therefore, I interact with my clients carefully so that they are beaming with joy at their reflection in the mirror. I do not let anyone out of the chair until they love what they see!
