M. Anselmi Design Studio

I’m passionate about helping my clients feel confident on their special day, and I pride myself on delivering a luxurious experience tailored to your vision. Merissa – Owner, MAD Studios

Born and raised in the vibrant bayous of Southern Louisiana, I developed a deep appreciation for artistry and creativity from an early age. My journey began in Florida, where I pursued a career in professional da

nce. It was during this time that I discovered my passion for hair and makeup, leading me to enroll at the renowned Aveda Institute to refine my skills and embark on a new career path in beauty. Upon graduating, I joined a talented team where I gained invaluable experience and advanced training. Over seven years, I worked my way up to become a Certified Luxury Russian Hair Artist, lead stylist, and eventually, the team’s training manager. This experience allowed me to hone my craft and develop my leadership abilities, preparing me for the next chapter of my career. Now, as the founder of MAD Studios, I’m excited to channel my expertise and passion into building my own brand. My goal has always been to create a career I’m genuinely excited about, and I look forward to offering exceptional hair and makeup artistry to clients while continuing to grow and evolve professionally.
