About me

Welcome! I'm a licensed cosmetologist, clean beauty expert, professional hair and makeup artist, and extension specialist based in Joshua Tree, California. With over 20 years of experience in the beauty industry, I specialize in creating timeless, effortless looks that enhance your natural beauty with intention. My philosophy is simple: beauty should feel authentic, elevated, and uniquely you.

My signature style is soft, glowing, romantic hair and makeup, from boho braids and elegant updos to radiant, skin-focused makeup.  I create looks that photograph beautifully, feel comfortable to wear, and last throughout your wedding or special event. Whether your vision is understated and natural or polished and sophisticated, I love bringing it to life in a way that reflects your personal style.

My career began over two decades ago behind the cosmetics counter with MAC Cosmetics, where I developed a passion for artistry and education. I later became a makeup trainer and consultant, worked in boutique salons providing hair color, cuts, and customized hair extensions, and eventually transitioned into on-location beauty services for weddings, editorial shoots, fashion events, and special occasions throughout Southern California and destination locations.

Today, my work is rooted in intentional beauty—a thoughtful approach that combines artistry with clean beauty practices whenever possible. As a clean beauty expert, I intentionally select high-performing products that support healthy skin while delivering flawless, long-lasting results. I believe makeup should enhance, not mask, and every service is designed to help you feel confident, comfortable, and completely yourself.

In addition to bridal and event styling, I offer personalized one-on-one makeup lessons designed to simplify your routine, teach techniques that work for your features, and help you confidently recreate polished looks at home. I also specialize in customized hair extensions, creating seamless, natural-looking transformations that add length, volume, and confidence while complementing your lifestyle and hair goals.

 I strive to create a relaxed, enjoyable experience from our first conversation through your final touch-up. I also lead a carefully selected team of talented hair stylists and makeup artists who share my commitment to exceptional service, ensuring a seamless experience for brides, bridal parties, and events of every size.

Born and raised in the beach cities of Southern California, I now call the beautiful high desert home while continuing to serve clients throughout Southern California and beyond. Whether you're preparing for your wedding day, a special event, looking to refresh your everyday makeup skills, or wanting beautifully customized hair extensions, my goal is always the same: to create a look that feels effortless, intentional, and authentically you.
