Hi, I’m Bri! I’ve been passionately immersed in the beauty industry for nearly two decades. My journey began in Southern California as an Esthetician and massage therapist, where I honed my skills in creating relaxing and rejuvenating experiences.

A true California girl at heart, I eventually returned to the West Coast, expanding my expertise to include permanent makeup. I now specialize in Microblading, lash enhancement, permanent eyeliner, and lip blush, helping clients achieve effortlessly beautiful and long-lasting results.

When I’m not enhancing natural beauty, I love staying active and creating memories with my husband and our energetic two-year-old son. Whether perfecting a client’s look or chasing after my little one, I bring the same passion and dedication to everything I do.
