Katrina - Lead Artist

Hey there, Gorgeous People!

My name is Katrina, and ever since I was a young girl, I would watch my Grandmother, who was in the circus (YES I said circus!), put on her makeup and from there I would go on set with my Mother and watch her do makeup for the stars! I soon realized that I too wanted to be a Makeup Artist. The moment I graduated High School in the year 2000, I attended The Studio Makeup Academy of Hollywood. Located at Sunset Gower Studios. I remember feeling so excited at times because there I was learning how to do makeup and watching celebrities roam the lọt everyday. Soon after I graduated, I had the privilege of working on many celebrities on film and television.

After I had my daughter, I soon realized that working within the film and television industry would take me away from being a mom. That's when I decided to start my own business! I chose to join my twin sister Angel, who is a wedding photographer, and become a Bridal and Special Events Makeup Artist.

My work is more than just makeup—it’s about empowerment and confidence. I take the time to connect with each client, ensuring their vision comes to life. My focus is on enhancing natural beauty and I genuinely care about my clients. Whether it’s a wedding, a photoshoot, or a special event, my goal is to leave my clients feeling radiant and self-assured.

Daniella

Hey there! I’m Daniella and I’ve been loving the hairstylist life for 20 years, but it really started way back when I was just a little 10 year old.

When I was 10, my Mom would have to blowdry my older sisters very curly, thick hair. Her hands would get tired so I’d step in and help her finish my sisters blowout. I knew then, this is what I was born to do! The satisfaction I got from straightening my sisters hair, the chit chat, all of it. It’s what I was meant to be doing.

I graduated highschool and went straight to beauty school. After getting my cosmetology license, I attended a 6 week hair cutting coarse at Vidal Sasson. I’ve continued my education taking various color, styling and Finishing classes at Redken 5th ave in New York and trained with some of the top stylist in the country.

Event hair is a very passionate part of my job. I love being part of someone’s special day, making people look and feel their best for one of the biggest days of their lives is Actually really fun for me. I love hanging out with my glam team. Listening to good music, getting to know the Bridal party while breathing in all the hairspray is one of my favorite parts of my job!

LIZZY

Hi! I’m Lizzy! I started doing makeup shortly after graduating high school. While finishing up my time at The Studio Makeup Academy of Hollywood, I was hired to do makeup for ballroom dance competitions. I had the opportunity to travel around the world, I quickly realized makeup was truly my passion. I then went back to school for my esthetician license. I have now been doing makeup for 20 years and have been a licensed esthetician for 10 years working in the salon specializing in brow shaping and makeup.

When I’m not at the salon, you’ll find me at home with my family. I have a daughter that keeps me VERY busy. My husband and I love taking our daughter camping. And yes… we tent camp hehe. Our family adventures are something I look forward to.

I am beyond grateful to have a career I love. I have the opportunity to show people how beautiful they truly are.

JOdy

I'm Jody Purkey, and I've been a passionate hairdresser for 10 years. After earning my bachelor’s degree in English, I made the life-changing decision to pursue a cosmetology license—and I’ve never looked back! This career has been incredibly fulfilling, and I’m grateful for the opportunity to meet so many wonderful people through both the salon and the wedding industry.

To stay at the top of my craft, I’ve continued my education at the Redken Exchange in NYC, attended hands-on workshops, and participated in industry events like the Redken Symposium in Las Vegas. I love how the beauty industry is always evolving, and I’m committed to growing with it to bring the latest trends and techniques to my clients.

Outside of the salon, I’m a proud wife to my best friend (who’s also my biggest cheerleader) and a mom to two amazing kids. I love baking homemade sourdough bread with them—it’s one of my favorite ways to spend time together and create lasting memories.

I can’t wait to meet you and help bring your hair goals to life!
