My name is Paola, I am a licensed cosmetologist. Something that I love about my work is the happiness that my work can bring to a client, as well as how happy it makes me, to be part of a day so important. A little about my background is I’m from Peru and I've been here almost 19 years now and i found the love of my life and we are nearly 18 years together. I have 3 teenagers at home that I love dearly. I am currently employed at an elementary school and since I'm bilingual. I have the opportunity to work with kids, especially those who just relocated to the U.S. Education wise I went to the institute of Cosmetology in 2011 I also attended a makeup school called Brittany Beauty in May of 2018. I'm heavily inspired by others and I constantly strive to learn more and constantly grow my portfolio and client reach.
Introduction
The Wedding Industry
Cosmetology really interested me in the year 2010 so much that I attended a course at a Long Island beauty school. I had the most amazing teachers who really pushed me and inspired the perseverance to work hard and show what I'm capable of. In 2018 I went to school for makeup and wanted to learn and gain more experience in that field since many of my clients questioned if I did makeup, and of course, my drive to learn really fueled that motivation to attend. Weddings grasped my attention the most due the nature of working one on one and connecting with clients and impacting such a beautiful and treasured day
Company History
2011, I worked at Salon X for 5 years, but after some time I decided to take a different path and work for myself, especially since I would have more control of my hours and what I could do with my clients and of course give me more time with my little ones. Then in the span of a couple of years, I began to work with 2 separate companies. In that amount of time I learned so much and really grew my profile, portfolio and experience.
FAQs
How do I set up an appointment or consultation?
I prefer emails! You can email me at paolahairandmakeup@outlook.com. Please do not text or call as I do not want to miss any important requests from you!
How do I secure my wedding date?
You would need to leave a deposit and sign our contract.
Do you service multiple brides a day?
No, I do not. I do one bride per day so I can devote my time and work to my fullest potential. I want all of my clients happy and completely satisfied with my work.
Does my hair need to be washed beforehand?
Yes, It needs to be cleaned the night before or the same day. It's much easier to work with clean and fresh hair, to achieve the best results.
Personal Hobbies
One of my favorite things to do is dance. I even go to zumba classes that I really enjoy doing. It really relaxes me and helps me keep my mind off stress. Another hobby of mine is cooking for my family and myself. A little fun fact about me is that I secretly love singing, but I'm not exactly the type to sing in public.However going to the gym and doing zumba are my favorite pastimes during the week and something I really look forward to.

Very professional and excellent service. Paola is amazing and also the work she does. She did my hair and make up on my big day and I looked fabulous!!!! Totally recommended.
She was very responsive, which I loved since my special occasion was less than two months. I loved my make up, hair, and for the first time I wore eye lash extensions. I will definitely reach out for more special events, thank you for everything.

Paola did such great work and was a dream to work with! She guided me in my trial through all my questions and styles I wanted to try out, and was so kind to me and my mom (who came with me) during the whole experience. I cannot wait to have Paola style me again for my hair and makeup on my wedding day!
