About
With 10 years of experience as a licensed cosmetologist, my artistry is rooted in both technical skill and a deep love for soft, modern beauty. I specialize in elevated makeup and hair that enhances your natural features while still feeling like you, radiant skin, softly defined details, and a polished finish that photographs beautifully without ever feeling heavy, overdone, or mask-like. Whether you’re getting ready for a special event, celebrating a milestone, or gathering with ten of your favorite people on your wedding morning, my team and I are here to make the experience feel seamless, beautiful, and completely cared for. Over the years, I’ve had the honor of working with so many incredible clients, and I’m always grateful to be trusted with such meaningful moments.

If you are looking for someone who is not only incredibly talented but also an absolute joy to be around, Tessa is your girl. She was punctual, professional, and the quality of her hair and makeup work was hands down the best I’ve ever experienced. But beyond her talent, her personality was everything good in this world — kind, uplifting, genuine, and beautiful inside and out. We truly need more Tessa’s in the world. Thank you for making me feel so beautiful and so cared for!

I had a great experience at contessa aesthetics. She helped me last minute for makeup for our engagement shoot after we had to change our timing. We had a great time during the session and her work was incredible! Would highly recommend

Amazing , Contessa made me look and feel beautiful. She was punctual, professional, and very knowledgeable .Awesome with matching my skin and bringing out the exact look that I desired. She also stayed after my make up application to assist me getting dressed, making sure that I didn’t get makeup on my dress and took pictures!!! She was amazing all the way around five stars⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. She also gave me a cute little care package complete with some of the custom lipstick color she made for me and some other goodies so I would look perfect throughout my entire event. I loved everything about my experience and can’t wait to book her again.

Tessa was so great! I needed someone really urgent (within 2 days) to do my makeup for a speaking engagement and she came to the rescue and did an amazing job. My makeup lasted the whole day!
