I'M VANESSA
AND I'M SO GLAD YOU'RE HERE
My love for all things beauty started when I attended my first MAC makeup class as a tween. Watching the artists’ creativity, talent, and unique techniques sparked a passion that has grown with me over the years.
​
I eventually landed my dream job at MAC, where my beauty journey truly began. Working at the beauty counter sharpened my skills in makeup artistry, while my love for skincare blossomed as I gained experience in spa environments, learning the ins and outs of creating effective skincare routines. Over the past few years, I’ve immersed myself even deeper into esthetics, and I’m thrilled to be opening my first studio in downtown Charleston in February 2024.
​
When I’m not in the studio helping my clients look and feel their best, you can find me experimenting with new recipes from my favorite cookbooks, exploring Charleston’s food scene, or enjoying quiet moments with my cats.
​
I can’t wait to share my passion for beauty with you—whether we’re chatting about the latest trends or working together to reveal the most radiant version of your skin.
