Julie Maggio, Owner
I have always been passionate about the beauty industry since I was a little girl. Whoever was babysitting me at the time was at my mercy and I certainly thank them for trial and error from a young age!
My career became serious when I began specializing in Bridal Makeup at a smaller local boutique at the age of sixteen. Although I have been trained in many brands since then, I really attribute any and all makeup knowledge that I have to be self-taught... we didn't have youtube back then! I continued my work at bigger retailers such as ULTA and Sephora for years and learned a lot through brand trainings.
During my time in college, I took my passion a step further and obtained my NYS Waxing License. Waxing was certainly one of my first loves and a gateway into blossoming my passion for beauty even further. Once I got into the service industry on a more personal level, there was no stopping me. I ultimately enrolled in a local school for Cosmetology and obtained my NYS Cosmetology License in 2012.
Since then I have continued to absorb any and all beauty knowledge and have taken great care to become educated in every new trend associated with my trade. Some of our more popular services like eyelash extensions and lash lifts, have been around for years now and I have been certified through brands like Borboleta and Lash Makers which which are both large companies the lash industry.
Microblading and Semi-permanent makeup have remained some of the most popular services in the beauty world. I have been making women feel more confident in their brows for nine years now via semi-permanent makeup, and I am in love with this transformative service. You can read more about it in the "service" section of our site.
I am a Master Hydrafacialist, the first in NYS, and the only master locally. Taking care of clients skin health has been at the forefront of my business model and I am proud to be partnered with such a well-known brand. You can read more about this transformative service and how you can maintain skin health on the “Hydrafacial MD” tab of our website above.
We hope to see you in for a service soon and connect to help achieve your beauty goals!

Jeannie Bringas, Spray Tan Artist, PMU Artist
Jeannie is from Miami, Florida and has been in Buffalo for eight years. Although she seems to prefer the cold, she wasn’t happy about the lack of glow she was getting from the change of weather.
Fake-and-baking is a thing of the past, and spray tans are in! It’s been some time since Ross turned orange in “Friends”, and spray tanning has come a long way. Jeannie insists on the use of formulas that are organic, vegan, gluten free, and violet based.
Microblading is something that Jeannie is passionate after watching a family member lose her eyebrows and her confidence. Her clients complain of little to no pain with the technique she uses. She has been trained by Julie and you can see her brow work on our Instagram.
