Licensed Cosmetologist  ·  By Appointment Only

Every appointment is treated as a luxury service, whether it's a bridal party of ten or a single special-event look. As a licensed cosmetologist with seven years of high-end industry experience, the artist brings both technical precision and an eye for what actually photographs well — every look is checked to make sure it holds up as beautifully in person as it does on camera. Because appointments are travel-only, everything is booked around your location and timeline.

Meet the artist

Samantha

Makeup, to Samantha, has never been about transformation for its own sake. As a licensed cosmetologist with seven years of high-end industry experience — including work with luxury brands like Chanel, Sephora, and Benefit — her true passion lies in uncovering the beauty someone already has, and refining it until they feel like their most elevated self.

Every appointment is approached with genuine care and an artist's eye, so you leave feeling like the best version of yourself. Fully mobile and traveling to you, she's also a makeup educator offering 1-on-1 classes for anyone who wants to learn the craft.
