Melinda Kay Quiroz

Master Makeup Artist

Personal Trainer

Owner

My passion is Makeup, Makeup, and more Makeup. I absolutely love the experience of being able to help a woman get made over from head to toe and then watch the expression on her face as she looks in the mirror. There is no greater feeling as a Makeup Artist than to help another woman realize how unique she is.

My experience in the beauty industry has been in providing professional makeup application and hair styling for for film, editorial, fashion shows, photoshoots, weddings, and local entertainers. In 2006 I decided to move forward on a long time dream, and that was to start a beauty business and become offical.

Bringing Elegance + Grace (E&G Beauty) to life has been on my heart for many years. My goal is to provide not only Makeup and Hair services for women, but to become a mentor for my young sisters.

At the age of 10 I tragically lost my mother, but by the Grace of God I persevered through many trials. Each and every situation in my life has made me a very strong woman today. I believe that God doesn't make mistakes and he has a special purpose for my life. I want to be able to share my testimony and become a mentor for our youth. I believe that becoming a mentor for another young girl, or woman, is not only rewarding, but selfless.

I promised myself that I would never begin to feel that my success is because of me. The second I believe that, is when my business is in a dangerous position. As Elegance + Grace grows I hope to establish a network of talented Artists with the same vision, and goals, who can provide each and every one of our clients with top of the line beauty services.

Doing Hair and Makeup has been a passion of mine since I was a little girl. I am currently a student at the Austin Paul Mitchell Partner School. My experience has been in Editorial, Fashion Shows, Stage Production, Weddings, Proms, and Quincinera's. I have a big family and a big heart. The number one thing that I stand by is to do what you love, and never give up on your dreams. I am always open for learning new things, and making new friends. My goal is to always stay abreast of the knowledge and skill that it takes to create a dramatic and immediate change in a client’s appearance.
