ABOUT
MY BEAUTY JOURNEY
Hello everyone my name is Stephanie Picazo I am currently 25 years old. My passion for beauty started at the young age of 12, when I discovered my mom's makeup box. Ever since I have loved all things beauty! I kick started my beauty career in 2017, my senior year of high school when I decided to do running start. I became a full time student at Clover Park Technical College where I studied Cosmetology, and Esthetics Sciences. After completion of both programs I became a WA State licensed Cosmetologist, Master Esthetician, and certified lash technician. During the time I was in schooling I worked as freelance makeup artist at M.A.C. Cosmetics, it was such a fun experience! I then ventured off into the hair world as a hairstylist to put my cosmetology license to use. While working at JCPenny's hair salon I started a side lash gig out of my house for my friends and family, lashing grew big in my heart! After the pandemic I decided to leave my hairstylist job and become a full-time lash tech. I learned so much in the hair industry but knew lashing won my heart over. 2019 I became my own boss, after lashing for a few years I got certified in lash lifts, brow laminations, and advance lashing! I wanted to continue to expand my knowledge in the beauty world and learn PMU. In 2022 I became an intern at Nina's Touch Beauty where I was mentored on permanent makeup, and worked side by side with the owner creating lots of beautiful brows, after becoming licensed to work with permanent cosmetics. Summer of 2023 I parted ways and officially opened my own studio located in Seattle, WA.
The start of Stephanie Picazo Artistry LLC began August 28, 2023.
