I, LaTonia Monday, am a double cosmetology graduate (Pennsylvania & Texas) and Certified MAC Cosmetics Make up Artist. Every aspect of my life’s work revolves around beauty. My experience consists of 7+ consistent years in the beauty industry.
In 2003, I attended Empire Beauty School in Pennsylvania and gained much of my experience in a salon environment there. I’m convinced that the ability to travel to Baltimore, New York, Cleveland, and Virginia to see trends as they were set in motion and attend countless hair shows contributed to my developing style, a style that has been inspired by my travels. Empire Beauty School (Harrisburg, PA), which is a highly recognized cosmetology school in the northern region, had really set the foundation for where my life was headed. It was definitely the true start to my career.
After completing school and working in a salon for a couple of years, I began to bring clients to my Studio for sessions. At that point, I was ready to begin working for myself. When I left Pennsylvania in 2005, I had my Cosmetology Certification, salon experience, some wedding experience for both hair and make-up, and the mindset to be my own boss.
Although my main focus at school at the time was hair, the curriculum also covered points in the other aspects of Cosmetology, such as skin, nails and make-up. Since make-up was my second love and I did not feel as though I had fully conquered the art, I decided to add perfecting my make-up artistry as one of my goals moving back to Dallas/Ft. Worth. I chose Make-up Art Cosmetics, or MAC. I was always attracted to the highest standards and creativity of their artistry. They have always had the reputation of having the best, highly skilled make-up artists in the industry, in addition to, having the most absolutely beautiful selection of colors for your eyes and lips known to man! Although MAC began mostly backstage, behind fashion shows and media, it has become a huge attraction to those who love to wear high quality make-up and be 100% flawless. This type of reputation that MAC possesses was one that I was definitely willing to stand behind and wanted to be a part of.
Being welcomed to the MAC family was definitely a major addition to my life of style and trend. The training that MAC offered and the various skills that I developed with the company, I feel, served as a huge basis to my success with make up. I worked directly for MAC Cosmetics from 2007 - 2009. Currently, I am freelancing full-time in Dallas, Texas and loving it!
Throughout my years of traveling and learning, my goal has always been to please women, whether it be; giving the cuts and colors they love for trend setting hair or creating a flawless look with a make-up application.
I approach each job with a fresh perspective. I feel that the work that I do comes natural, as I enjoy helping people look their very best!
