Our Mission

Born and raised in South Bend, IN, Mercedez embarked on a transformative journey that eventually led her to the sun-kissed shores of California in January 2020.

Armed with a Bachelor's degree in Psychological Sciences from Ball State University, she brings a unique understanding of the intricate connection between mental well-being and beauty. Her passion for the beauty industry ignited in 2015 when she stepped into the world of makeup artistry sharing her skills through local fashion shows, weddings, and special events. Once in Los Angeles, she had the pleasure of meeting and working alongside distinguished women of the community such as the stunning Cali Mazariego and Nelly Santiago to further her experience and elevate her skills. 

Working closely with these accomplished women, Mercedez's portfolio includes work featured on YouTube for Chris Brown, Ty Dolla Sign, and Monica. In addition to live shows for Roddy Ricch, City Girls (BET Awards, 2021) and Daddy Yankee (Calibash LA, 2022). Focusing specifically on dancers and models. Some of her work also being featured on streaming services such as Hulu, Netflix, and Paramount+. Her career includes serving as department head of makeup for feature films like American Meltdown written and directed by the talented Andrew Adams.

Beyond the production and film industry, Mercedez envisioned a more profound impact on individuals and pursued the study of esthetics at ZMS the Academy in 2022. With a heartfelt love for the beauty industry and complete faith in God's plan for her, she aspires to create more than just a business but a safe haven.

Throughout her career, Mercedez has encountered a diverse range of skin types and textures, further enriching her knowledge and proficiency in the field of esthetics. The vibrant atmosphere of Los Angeles has not only been a source of inspiration but has also instilled confidence, strength, and discipline.

Mercedez is not only a licensed esthetician and professional makeup artist, but a compassionate entrepreneur dedicated to fostering positive transformations. With a commitment to providing an inclusive space, she aspires to leave an everlasting mark on the lives she touches, offering a space where beauty is a celebration of uniqueness, and every client emerges with newfound confidence and inner healing.
