About

Photo Sep 04, 4 53 37 PM.jpg

Over the past 13 years as a makeup artist I’ve found my passion in making others feel great about themselves. After more than a decade of gaining experience with runway, fashion photoshoots, creative studio photoshoots and educating as an instructor I made the decision to pursue my passions at the next level.

​

With a working knowledge of the salon industry (thanks mom!) and my passion for hair & makeup, I began the journey to open Concept Salon in Greensboro, NC.

​

While focusing on my business and growing my team has always been a main priority, doing makeup remains my personal passion in this industry. I've learned an immense amount from being a salon owner and my ability to keep up with the latest trends and draw inspiration from fashion magazines, local artists and industry leaders has allowed me to continue working as a makeup artist and do what I love.

​

Partnering with me is an absolute must if you want someone who can give input and talk about the big picture; someone who is dependable and reliable on photoshoots; someone who doesn’t need to be told to take charge if it’s necessary to the final product or if you’re looking for someone that’s flexible and can adapt on the fly.
