Janice - Makeup
My makeup
journey began as a kid! My dad is an artist so he's always had paint lying
around the house. I would often paint all sorts of beautiful things but my
favorites were sunsets (due to all the colors that I could use). With that, I
would constantly steal my mom and sisters make up and as you can imagine, that
never ended well! Haha! I would observe my sister and her application skills
never knowing that one day, it would be my future and passion. My very first
makeup job was at Glamour Shots (photography studio). I went in there looking
for a job as a receptionist and walked outta there a makeup artist! I had NO
CLUE what I was doing! I learned pretty quickly and a year later I found myself
doing makeup on all of my friends and family members. After moving to Puerto
Rico, I had the incredible privilege and honor to snag a job at Sephora. There
I was surrounded with some of the most talented people I know. I soaked up all
that I could and I am ever grateful for that insanely beautiful experience and
education. It was there also that I discovered my love for the female heart. I
would get client after client sitting in my chair with tears and sorrow. I
wanted to help them heal, to tell them of a love beyond their wildest dreams,
but the environment did not provide for the moment. I decided to make a bold
move. I quit my job and began my very own business...MUA! Make Up University.
I get to go around the US/Puerto Rico teaching makeup and healing by
speaking to the many broken hearts! I have had some of the most life changing
experiences and I can't wait to have them together with all of you! May you
find the answers to all your beauty/fashion questions but most of all...for
your heart! XoXo!

Dharma Alexandra - Hair
“Ugly
people don’t exist, just people with lack of knowledge,” that is my personal
philosophy in my line of work. The fact that I have the opportunity to enhance
someone’s beauty is life changing! I am amazed to find that there is so much of
ourselves that hasn’t been discovered. A friend asked me once why I liked to do
hair and only after two seconds in silence I had this picture in my heart about
how what I do doesn’t feel like work. It’s more like a form of expression. I
don’t have limits and what little rules there are they can be challenged with
creativity. Everything changes, everything improves, it’s always growing; I
just love it!
In 2003 I began my journey at Rogis School in
Puerto Rico where I took my first steps as a cosmetologist and I thank God
there is no proof of my first jobs as they were somewhat...abstract. From the
very beginning of my career I’ve had the opportunity to work with great
stylists from whom I've learned to see hair as a canvas in white ready to be
painted. Even before day one, beauty existed in the nature of God.
That is why as humans we can't create beauty, but we can elevate it!
Let
your life be full of beauty.
Love, Dharma
Judie - Nails
My name is Judie Vasquez (saying with Newly-Wed glow)
and I will be giving my little insights on having your very own
nail style . Now who am I to teach anyone on Nail glam? Well, I was once a girl that was lost in the ways of nail glam until the day I found my love for "NAILS WITH
PERSONALITY". I will
take you through my personal life in discovering new polishes, new designs and
nail treatments too. But before then, let me let you in on what my life is
about just so you can feel more comfortable on who your Nail Glam insider is. I am a Newly-Wed stay at home wife and loving
it. I recently moved to Fresno,CA from Tampa,FL but born and raised in the best
city in the states, San Diego,CA . I have a
passion in design and creating my own DIY items. So when it comes to nails, I feel like a little girl when I see someone
with beautiful nail polish . I see nail design as an avenue that you can
express yourself. As I share my life with you I too would love for you
to share your lives with me! Let me know new and amazing finds you find in your
cities! So with this being said let the Nail glamming begin! Nail Polish Love,
Judie
