Thank you so much Rubi for making me look gorgeous for my cholo theme birthday party! Everyone complemented how good my makeup was. I had such a good time talking to you and having some laughs. You are super easy to talk to, which made it comfortable and easy for me. You listen to your clients and go beyond their expectations! I loved your office as well, super cute. Once again, thank you for giving me this awesome experience. I’m glad I now know someone that can glam me up!

If I could check all of the boxes, I would. I had the pleasure of Ruby being the Glam Guru for my nieces prom. Which turned into 7 teenage girl’s getting ready for prom. Ruby didn’t have a single quiet moment for two days and nights. She began by coming to my home to do nails. Considering I had never experienced anything like this personally I couldn’t believe the art work she made freehand without a magnifying glass! Oh I forgot, she was working nonstop for around 6+ hours straight. All the while reassuring me that she was doing OK, also, if you get the chance to meet her son, he is just as wonderful as she is. She turned out two sets of nails that were not only individual pieces of art, but in my opinion, she needs to charge way more Because she is truly an artist. I was praying she would come back because I couldn’t believe how hard she worked just doing nails, but the following day, it was show time. She showed up to the hotel with her cases of magic and calming demeanor and made the show go off, on time and with absolute grace and wisdom. She knows teenagers and she is with the times, she is very supportive of what some would shy away from. Ruby treats everyone the same. Nothing phases her, Transgendered prom dates included. She’s so professional she knew what time to be done and she has the most patience I have ever seen in anyone in my life if you’re lucky enough to have her as your stylist for any occasion or excuse me your artist for occasion hire her.

Details: Prom / formal • 13 - 17 years old • Standard (brushes, sponges, etc.) • 1 person • My home, venue, etc.

Rubi did my daughter and her friends nails for prom and my daughters hair and makeup. She gave a lot of time and was definitely worth every penny. She surpassed our expectations and really was just a perfect fit. She rolled with all the punches and left us all happy.

FAQs

  • What is your typical process for working with a new customer?

    I really enjoy working with new clients! Before each makeup appointment, I always prefer to conduct a brief phone consultation (prior to meeting face to face). Our first consultation can be conducted via phone call or Zoom (video chat).

  • How did you get started doing this type of work?

    I first started my journey in the beauty industry in 2014 while working for Fashion Fair Cosmetics, in Macy’s (Arden Fair Mall). While working for Fashion Fair Cosmetics, this gave me the confidence to venture out & explore the various avenues of the beauty/cosmetics industry. I began freelancing, meeting & working other professionals in the industry, such as photographers, models, fellow makeup artists, wardrobe stylists & so much more. I’ve developed an impressive resume for myself and I’m forever learning & growing.

  • What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?

    Research, research, research! Gain as much knowledge as possible, from: makeup application, professionalism, cost of makeup, average rates for professional makeup artistry (in California or your current location). If you are someone who loves makeup & applying makeup to yourself and others, please look into taking a beginner or intermediate class with an Artist that you trust and look up to. I provide group and 1:1 makeup training courses.
