About
Hi, I’m Balsam — a passionate makeup artist and hair stylist dedicated to helping every client feel confident, beautiful, and truly themselves. What makes my business stand out is the care, attention to detail, and personalized experience I give every single client. I don’t believe in “one look fits all.” I take the time to understand your style, skin type, features, and vision to create a glam that enhances your natural beauty while still making you feel comfortable and confident. I specialize in soft glam, full glam, bridal, prom, and special event makeup and hair, using high-quality products and techniques that photograph beautifully and last all day. My goal is not just to do makeup and hair but to create an experience where my clients feel relaxed, listened to, and excited about their final look. I truly love what I do, and I put my heart into every appointment. Seeing my clients smile, feel empowered, and leave happy is the best part of my job.

If I could give her 1,000,000 out of ten I would. She did my makeup for my bridal shower and I got compliments the whole day! This was my 3rd time getting my makeup done professionally and there was so comparison! It was a great experience from her responding quickly, working out the details, her flexibility in payment up until the day of. She was ready for on time of the appointment, had great conversation and was very professional. When she was finished and handed me the mirror I couldn't believe it was me! Beautiful and exactly what I asked for, she exceeded my expectations! The makeup including my lips lasted the whole day even in a hall of a church with no air and 80 degree weather. I highly recommend her and is absolutely my new go to artist!

I truly cannot speak more highly of Balsam! She made me look and feel so beautiful!!! She was also incredibly patient and was able to work under a high stress environment. Not to mention, she’s personable and I felt like I could talk to her for hours. I’m SO impressed and will absolutely be hiring her again!!!
