I know- it's like the longest name in history. But seriously, thanks so much for being here! I'll try not to bore you *too* much with my "about me" but besides hair and makeup, my two other favorite things are my husband, Brandon, and our sweet Pomeranian, Mariano. While I tout myself as a beach lover, I truly love anything outdoors. I really love hiking in mountainy, green places (like the Pacific Northwest) and my favorite season is Fall. I love going to breweries or out to eat or spending the whole day at the beach and I will never turn down a glass of red wine (except when I'm working). I am admittedly obsessed with crime shows but can also binge watch Modern Family on repeat. My laid-back style combined with gentle transparency mixed with a little bit of a type A personality is what really sets me apart from the rest.

Started
Going
I started my career in 2002 (20+ years ago!) and I come from a family of beauty industry professionals, so it's quite literally in my blood. I am licensed in the state of NY and Florida and although I have worn many hats throughout my career, my true passion is bridal hair and makeup. I started my career in makeup at the age of 19 and have done countless weddings and special events, NYFW in 2017, as well as having some high profile/celebrity clientele. In September of 2021, my husband and I moved down to West Palm Beach and just 2 years after, CME Beauty was born.
I created CME Beauty after getting married at the West Palm Beach courthouse. We got married on a Monday & I thought "If I wasn't in the beauty industry, who would have done my hair/makeup? Most salons are closed." And if you're anything like me, you hate traffic & will pay for convenience. ( Hello-DoorDash!) And most on-location beauty teams won't travel for one person. So, I decided to do something about it. Because no one should be denied that luxury just because of the size of the wedding you have.
Since then, I have helped brides with parties of ALL sizes work through their past hair and makeup trauma and deliver looks that are not only natural, but that will survive the Florida heat & photograph beautifully.
Welcome to CME Beauty and Thank you for being here.
