Introduction
Just made account September 5, 2023 **I DONT do color** I DONT do cuts** I DONT DO HALLOWEEN OR SPECIAL EFFECTS **** **PLEASE DONT MESSAGE ME IF YOUVE MESSAGED OTHER ARTISTS. If you want to book with me I can get you booked. Every time a client messages me I get charged $20. But they also message other artist. So if you don’t book with me I lose $20. And sometimes I have 4-5 leads and they end up going with someone else so that’s an easy $100 loss. So if you are serious about booking please take this into consideration. I care very much about making sure you have an artist for your event . Thank you. Love and light to you. ** Hello, my name is Mercedes. Mother of 2 wonderful boys ages 11 and 5. I specialize in hair and makeup for weddings, fashion shows, pageants, photo shoots and runway. I’ve been doing this for well over 7+ years and I am very passionate about what I do. I would love to be apart of your special event and glam you up! (LGBTQIA+ Friendly) Feel free to check out my Instagram for my past work 🤍 @ Lxstnbeauty. 50% deposit required to book non refundable, non transferable. Thank you so much for your time.

Mercedes was a great choice for hair and makeup that I got done for my dad’s wedding. She took her time, offered adjustments and even brought extras like sparkly clips that made my hair style special for the day. Would recommend hiring her for your event!
