It's Simple. Make up is my passion. I love a challenge and a beautiful result. I show my clients how important they are to me. I speak to them and gain rewarding relationships and trust. I go with what they desire and not what "I" would wan't. I can give you pointers, but on the end I want a satisfied client.
I enjoy the talks, meeting someone new and most of all A REWARDING REACTION! I LOVE IT. When my customers feel fabulous, I feel fabulous!

Ms Kina is a wonderful person, not only did she come on time before time but she helped us out of a bind. Ms Kina did all my girls hair and makeup but she also did my 2 kids hair for that beautiful day. She became the long lost cousin lol. She prayed for us, with us she has nothing but good energy. I loved the way I looked I love the way my girls look and my boys were handsome as ever. I will definitely use my cousin Kina again she really is a 1 stop shop she does photography too found that out afterwards.

Kina is absolutely AMAZING! This was my first time ever getting my makeup done professionally and she really did a wonderful job. This was also a pre trial for my wedding. I gave her an idea of what I wanted and let her do her thing. She made me feel absolutely gorgeous. Kina is such a kind a respectful person and we instantly clicked with one another. Everyone loved my hair and makeup! Thank you Kina!

Kina did an amazing job with the makeup of my bridesmaids, my mom, and I. We all have very different skin tones and some of us had sensitive, oily, or combination skin and all of our makeup was incredible. She even fixed my hair. Highly recommended!

Kina is such a treasure. She did my makeup for my dad's wedding in Charlotte and we were leaving from Columbia early that morning. She kept me engaged in great conversation. She kept telling me how great my makeup was turning out. I was not ready when she showed me the mirror. She made me queen for a day. Lol I was really feeling myself and turning heads at every turn. Oh and the compliments would not stopcoming. My dad is a pastor and so is my new mom. Wanted to represent our family well. I can't wait for the next big thing so Kina can doll me up!!!

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
n/a
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I get my client's contact information. We schedule a date, we have a simple consultation. I review the skin, the structure of their faces. I find the perfect foundation for their skintones. I see what look they want and I then give them a flawless finish.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I'm an artist and Professional Photographer. I love self portraits and fine art. So makeup came as a gift to me. I'm self taught.
