Meet the Owner!
I’m Ari, a 24 year old Esthetician and Makeup artist. I have a background in art (drawing, painting, etc) which eventually translated into my nail art and love of makeup. I started doing event makeup in 2015 and I now frequently work as a bridal makeup artist! I spent some time at SCAD working on movie sets and did some scary makeup for fear factory! :)
I love horror movies, music (Harry Styles, Chappell Roan, and Sabrina Carpenter are some current faves!) and coffee shops.
I absolutely love doing abstract nail sets and shaping brows and place a strong emphasis on attention to detail.
I am looking forward to getting my manicuring license next and am so excited to meet you! Don’t hesitate to reach out with questions! <3
FAQs
What are lash extensions?
The lash extension process is when we take one singular fake lash and apply it to a single one of your lashes. This process takes about 1.5-2 hours for the first time, and should be filled every 2-3 weeks (which is usually an hour long). While they do make your day to day easier (no mascara!!!) they do require maintenance! You can keep things natural or make them fluffy and full depending on your preference!
Brow wax vs threading?
Waxing will get all of those fine baby hairs, and essentially the first layer of skin. threading will only pull at the hair. Due to this, threading can be a better alternative for those who are very sensitive (although most people report threading is a littleeee bit more uncomfortable). Overall, it comes down to personal preference and what feels better for you.
What is a lash lift?
Unlike lash extensions, lash lifts are only your natural lash. We chemically curl your lashes up over a rod to give the bright and open look similar to an eyelash curler (but better). This result lasts 6-8 weeks and makes applying mascara much easier. It is not as dramatic as extensions, which mostly add length, these will simply give straight lashes a nice curled up appearance. This is no maintenance for this service. It also pairs great with a tint if you’re looking for a more dramatic effect (especially for lighter hair clients).
What makeup services do you offer?
All of them! Seriously send me every cut crease and scary halloween look!
I am mostly known as a bridal makeup artist doing wedding parties of close to 10 people sometimes! However, I also often do prom makeup, birthday looks, dinner looks, and makeup for photoshoots.
I have a love of SFX (special effects) so also do a lot of body painting, prosthetic applications, and gore!
What is a brow lamination?
A brow lamination is similar to a lash lift. It lasts 6-8 weeks and is great for giving a fuller appearance to brows or taming hairs that are difficult to style. This is also a chemical process. The misconception is that all laminations are going to be super fluffy and brushed up and that’s not true- you have full control over how we style them! I have clients do it just to tame a cowlick, or to avoid putting gel in their brows every day. There is minimal maintenance, just daily brow oil to give those hairs soft and healthy!
How do I measure my nails for press ons?
There is a picture showing exactly how to do it below! But basically get some tape, a marker, and ruler and get measuring! I also sell a sizing guide so it is easier for you to have exact sizing! I would keep your sizes on file and when you order again I would already have the sizes ready to go :)
