Hi, I’m Samia

A Los Angeles–based Hair & Makeup Artist with over 10 years of experience across editorial, bridal, runway, celebrity clientele and on-set production work. My work has been featured in Brides Magazine, Getty Images, Vigour Magazine, and Voyage Baltimore. One of the highlights of my career is returning each season as a Lead Makeup Artist for New York Bridal Fashion Week, where I have the opportunity to collaborate with incredible creative teams to bring visionary looks to life. I’m especially drawn to creative work that pushes me artistically, challenges me to think outside the box, and contributes to a larger, beautiful, cohesive vision.

When working with personal clients (which is one of my favorite things), my approach is always centered around enhancing each client’s unique features in a way that feels elevated, intentional, and authentically them. Along with artistry, my priority is always to create an environment where clients feel confident, comfortable, and truly cared for.

Outside of beauty, I spend my time traveling, exploring new places, spending time near the beach, painting, singing, capturing photos of nature, and being with the people I love.
