hi, i'm Aneesa.

My story begins in my childhood bedroom in 2014 when I stumbled across YouTube makeup tutorials one night at 2am. Instantly, I became obsessed with makeup and cosmetics. I watched tutorials every night for months, taught myself how to do makeup, began making my own YouTube videos, practiced on friends and family and created an Instagram page to start sharing my work online. Then, I took on my first bridal party in August of 2015.

I dedicated all my time to learning technique, product and application. I quickly learned my makeup style: soft, romantic and radiant. I loved making women feel beautiful, but most of all making them still feel like themselves.

During this time, I was in school full-time at a four year university, studying Communication with an emphasis on Media and PR. After I graduated with my Bachelor’s Degree in 2018, I accepted a full time job and moved to San Francisco to work as a beauty content creator.

I was still taking weddings on the weekends during the two and a half years I was at my full-time job. I averaged anywhere from 20-30 weddings a year, traveling a ton. My work-life balance was definitely challenging, but I didn’t care. I loved what I was doing and my friends and family were always understanding and supportive.

In 2020 when the pandemic hit and I had lost my job, I decided to enroll in beauty school to get my esthetician license. I began my full time program in Sacramento, CA in August of 2020. I was even asked to teach the makeup portion of my curriculum because I already had five years of professional experience under my belt. I went on to graduate at the top of my class and became a licensed esthetician in May of 2021. 

I worked full time as an esthetician in San Francisco for almost 3 years and built a very loyal waxing and spray tanning clientele. I was doing less weddings than I had been in previous years, but had gained so much experience working as an esthetician and building something from the ground up. In March of 2023, after six years of living in the Bay Area, I was eager for something new and decided it was time to pack my bags and try a new city. 

I moved to Orange County in May of 2024. I wanted new adventures, new business opportunities and new connections… but the move was hard. I was far from home for the first time, missing my friends and family and unhappy at the salons I was working as an esthetician at. In May of 2025, I decided to take a leap of faith and open my first solo waxing studio in Huntington Beach. I didn’t know how I was going to make it work, or even if I could - but I believed in myself enough to try. Fast forward to today, I have a beautiful and loyal eyebrow and spray tanning clientele in OC.

In November of 2025, after missing being a makeup artist and working in the wedding industry, I began posting makeup videos on TikTok. I shared makeup tutorials, get to know me videos and more. A few of my videos went viral, I was reaching my target audience, and I booked about 60 weddings for 2026 in less than 3 months.

I now have 78 weddings booked in 2026.

My passion is connecting with women, making them feel beautiful, and most importantly, making them feel valued and safe. I am extremely fortunate to have been given all of the opportunities that I have and I'm proud of myself for always working hard and never giving up.

So just know that if ever we cross paths, I know it will be because we were supposed to.

Thank you for visiting my site and I hope to see you in my chair soon.

Xoxo, Aneesa
