Naomi
Partner Stylist + Makeup Artist
Hi! I’m Naomi! I am the mother of two beautiful and kind peanuts, an artist of many sorts, a Harry Potter and Lana Del Rey super fan, and a lover of sunshine and nature. When I am not dancing in the kitchen with my kids, I am working on some form of art. Whether it’s babylighting a client to the perfect shade of creamy vanilla, or painting, or preserving flowers in resin pieces. I have been a licensed cosmetologist for almost ten years, specializing in bridal makeup and blonding. I have also had experience working as a makeup artist for New York Fashion Week, alongside celebrity hairstylist, Ted Gibson, from What Not To Wear. Although I would consider blonding, especially soft, gradient blondes, my specialty- I offer all kinds of color, cutting and styling services. My goal is to always have my clients leaving feeling beautiful and confident, and like their cups have been filled during their time with me. My clients are incredibly special to me, and I value the connections and bonds that we create here. It fills me with gratitude to be able to support my family while doing something that makes me feel connected to my most authentic self, and to art, and to others. I can’t wait to see you in my chair!
