FAQs
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I like to have the custome first view my previous work, if interested at that point I like for the customer to send me inspiration photos for hair/ and or makeup, then I like to set up a trial/consultation where we will practice hair/ and or makeup wanted by customer(price of trial is determined by each own clients needs/ requests) I also ask a client to sign a form if after the trial they still choose for me to do the makeup/ hair for the actual event day insuring they are happy/ agree with everything we did for the trial and I always take before and after photos( if you don't wish for me to share on my sites I won't do so but I still need the photos for my self)
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I took 2 high school exploratory programs at beau monde my junior and senior year, I took a cosmetology class at Sabin skills center my sophomore, junior and senior year, I compete at both state and national level for makeup artistry, I received a scholarship to Phagans school of hair design which I studied at for 2 years and graduated February 2014, I went to state board in Salem and passed my test to receive my hair license in the state of Oregon, I have also done make up and hair for many photoshoots and events including; Portland style and fashion awards, governors ball, rose festival princesses, Portland teen idol, miss Oregon 2015/2016 and I have gotten some of my fantasy makeup published in Freque magazine one image even got chosen to be on the front cover! I also have worked for Sephora for 2 years now and I am out main makeup artist, I do many make overs on all ages, skin tones/ethnicity , skin types, eye and cash shapes daily so I am very familiar with what is flattering for all types of people and I am great at customer service!
- How did you get started doing this type of work?
I started in high school taking a cosmetology class. I did makeup on my friends constantly. I made connections through friends who knew artists and I started doing free photoshoots to gain the experience while going to cosmetology school and taking advantage of every event we got to volunteer for and through that I made more connections.
