I am a Makeup artist, Hairstylist and Henna artist based in Toronto, Canada. 

 

My humble beginnings started as being the youngest Henna artist in the GTA. What started as a  hobby at the age of 11, led me to take on my first bridal henna gig by the time I was 12, later becoming very busy in my teen years, booked back to back with bridal henna clients, summer fairs, charity events and henna parties. Working with many brides over the years, peaked my interest in bridal beauty.

 

As a self taught makeup artist I picked up the brush in 2014. My passion for hairstyling soon followed. I attended Avola College to further my skill set, learning the art of haircutting, colouring and barbering. I participated in competitions and won first place in the Avant Garde categories.. I also furthered my education with workshops and certificates internationally for hairstyling and Natural/ Afro hair care.  I don’t think I’ll ever stop learning. That’s what I love about the beauty industry, no matter how experienced you are, there’s always something new to learn or master.

 

My passion for working with people led me to the pursuit of specializing in bridal beauty!  I thrive off the rewarding feeling of being part of someone’s special day, hearing their words of satisfaction or seeing the joy in their face when they see their makeup and hair done. Making someone feel beautiful and confident uplifts me.
