Sometimes the most beautiful transformations aren’t about becoming someone completely different…

They’re about uncovering the beauty that was there all along🤍

This beautiful young woman has walked through some hard seasons. Her story is hers to tell, so I won’t tell it for her—but I will say this:

I am SO proud of the woman sitting in my chair today.

She’s rebuilding.
She’s growing..
She’s choosing a different path…
And she’s becoming✨

Today we didn’t completely change who she was.

We removed what was weighing her down, brought life back into her hair, and reminded her of the beauty that was already there.

And isn’t that so much like what God does with us?

He doesn’t look at our past and decide we’re ruined.
He restores.
He renews.
He makes beauty from the places we thought were too broken.

“To bestow on them a crown of beauty instead of ashes…” — Isaiah 61:3 🤍

THIS is why what happens behind my chair will always mean more to me than just hair.

Sometimes it’s color.
Sometimes it’s a haircut.
Sometimes it’s a fresh start.

And sometimes… it’s watching a woman begin to see HER again🥹✨

💔🐾 Yesterday we said goodbye to our sweet Roscoe.

If you’ve been a client of mine for very long, there’s a pretty good chance you knew Roscoe. He came to work with me, went everywhere he possibly could with me, and somehow managed to make just about everyone he met fall in love with him.

He was just THAT dog. ❤️

Roscoe started his life as a rescue from a puppy mill, where he had been kept in rabbit hutches. When we got him, he could barely walk on hardwood floors.

But boy did that little guy go on to LIVE. 🥹

Over the next 12 years, Roscoe traveled to several states, flew all the way to Hawaii and back, went to work with MaMa, spent time at NaNa’s, went on countless walks with me and, of course, even had his own Instagram account. 😂🐾

He was smart, stubborn, soooo silly and had a personality that was absolutely contagious. He even SMILED—and if you knew him, you know exactly what I’m talking about. ❤️

But more than anything, Roscoe was my little pet’ner.

He was beside me through every step of my ovarian cancer journey, through heartbreak, depression, changes, new beginnings and some of the hardest days of my life.

I may have helped rescue Roscoe all those years ago…

but there were plenty of times when Roscoe rescued me right back. ❤️

Yesterday, I held my baby in my arms, kissed him, told him how much MaMa loved him and helped him peacefully leave this world knowing he was loved beyond measure.

Thank you to every client, friend and person who loved my little boy over the years. Roscoe wasn’t only loved by his MaMa and NaNa…

That boy was loved by MANY. 🐾🤍

Run free, my sweet Roscoe.

MaMa loves you.
Yesterday. Today. Always. 🤍🐾

Psalm 34:18 — “The Lord is close to the brokenhearted.”

💛I have something exciting to share with you beautiful souls💫

Over the last year, God has been doing a lot in my life. He’s been healing me, stretching me, teaching me, and honestly… changing me.

Because of that, I felt led to create something that goes beyond beauty.

A place where women can come exactly as they are, grow in their faith, and remember who God created them to be.

So I created
𝘉𝘦𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘏𝘦𝘳 | 𝘛𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘛𝘢𝘵𝘵𝘰𝘰𝘦𝘥 𝘎𝘪𝘳𝘭

This page is where I’ll be sharing my faith, my daily Bible study journey, encouragement, healing, growth, and purpose… along with the beauty side of my life that you all know and love.

Beauty has always been my career and my passion…

But encouraging women is becoming part of my calling.

If you’re on Instagram, I’d love for you to follow along as we grow together.



I’m also working on creating a page, so stay tuned yallllll🤩

Thank you for supporting me—not just as a hairstylist and cosmetic tattoo artist—but as I step into this new season of my life.

I can’t wait to see where God takes this. 🤍

✨Beautifully Created. Beautifully Enhanced✨

This beautiful client chose to enhance her natural features with powder brows and a permanent eyeliner tattoo, creating a soft, effortless look she’ll wake up with every day.

These photos take you through the entire journey—from before… to mapping… to the procedure… to her immediate after results.

A few things to know about fresh permanent makeup:

🖤The skin around her brows is still blanched (lightened) from the numbing process. This is completely normal and will return to its natural color as the numbing wears off.

🤎 Both the brows and eyeliner will appear darker immediately after the procedure. Over the next 7–10 days, the color will gradually soften and lighten as they heal.

✨ Permanent makeup is a two-step process. Every client heals differently, which is why she’ll return in 4–6 weeks for her perfecting appointment. At that visit, we’ll make any small adjustments needed to create her beautiful healed results.

My goal is never to change who you are—it’s to enhance the beauty God has already given you. Permanent makeup is about saving time, boosting confidence, and helping you feel like the best version of yourself every single day.

“I praise You because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Your works are wonderful, I know that full well.”
— Psalm 139:14 🖤

✨There is something so special about bringing someone’s vision to life.

Today we stepped back into the Roaring ’20s with a glamorous flapper-inspired hairstyle and makeup look. Every victory roll, every curl, and every brushstroke was created with love and attention to detail.

I truly believe God has blessed each of us with unique gifts, and I never take for granted that I get to use mine to help others feel beautiful, confident, and seen.

Thank you for trusting me to be a small part of your special day. Moments like these remind me why I fell in love with this industry over 20 years ago. 🤍

“Let the beauty of the Lord our God be upon us, and establish the work of our hands for us—yes, establish the work of our hands.”
— Psalm 90:17

✨This evening was one of those nights that filled my heart♥️

We celebrated my beautiful daughter's 29th birthday surrounded by family, laughter, my mom’s famous homemade cheesecake, and so many sweet memories. Watching her grow into the incredible woman she is has been one of the greatest blessings of my life.

Getting to spend time with my mom aka NaNa, my Auntie Rita (fun fact... we actually share the same birthday! 🎉), and my daughter reminded me that life isn't about the big extravagant moments. It's about evenings around the table, sharing stories, taking too many pictures, enjoying cheesecake, and simply being thankful for the people God has placed in our lives.

Happy 29th Birthday, my sweet babygirl. ♥️I pray this next year is filled with God's favor, His protection, new opportunities, overflowing joy, and countless reminders of how deeply you are loved.

"The Lord has done great things for us, and we are filled with joy." — Psalm 126:3 ✝️

Here's to family, full hearts, and memories that will last a lifetime. I wouldn't trade these moments for anything. 🫶🥹🎂

And don’t forget about sweet Rosco 🐾

The OG selfie... before selfies were even a thing. 😂📸🤍

29 years ago today, we took our very first picture together. Little did I know that tiny baby in my arms would grow into the incredible woman she is today.

Happy Birthday, baby girl. No matter how old you get, you'll always be my favorite selfie. 🥹❤️

✨ Sometimes the most beautiful enhancements are the ones no one can quite put your finger on.

This beautiful client chose an upper lash line enhancement—a subtle cosmetic tattoo placed within the upper lash line to create the appearance of fuller, darker lashes without the look of traditional eyeliner.

✔️ Smudge-proof
✔️ Waterproof
✔️ Sweat-proof
✔️ Wake up looking naturally refreshed every single day

The goal isn’t to change who you are—it’s to enhance the beauty that’s already there. Sometimes, the smallest details make the biggest difference.

If you’ve been looking for a low-maintenance beauty service that saves you time while giving your eyes a naturally defined look, an upper lash line enhancement may be exactly what you’ve been searching for.

✨ “I praise You because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Your works are wonderful, I know that full well.” — Psalm 139:14

Because true beauty begins with knowing whose you are. 🤍
