Makeup Mafia Inc./Makeup Mafia Weddings - Los Angeles, CA/Bend, OR
I have always loved hair and makeup so at an early age I decided to create my own company doing what I love and that came to pass as Makeup Mafia Inc. I have done hair and makeup since 1987 and will continue to grown and expand my love of this industry for many years to come. In 1995 I expanded into the world of wedding hair and makeup with Makeup Mafia Weddings.
