About Hope

Hope’s journey into the beauty industry began at West Virginia University, where she studied Fashion Design and Merchandising. During college, she earned an internship that took her backstage at Paris Fashion Week — an unforgettable experience that sparked her passion for makeup artistry and led to her first role with MAC Cosmetics. While at MAC, Hope spent nearly two years refining her skills in everything from soft natural glam to bold editorial looks.

In 2024, Hope joined the Bella Salon & Spa family and quickly became an integral part of the team. As a talented makeup artist and member of the Bella Bridal Team, she specializes in bridal glam, prom makeup, drag artistry, and SFX makeup, bringing creativity and confidence to every look she creates.

In March 2026, Hope graduated from Award Beauty School and became a Licensed Esthetician. She loves helping clients feel confident and refreshed through skincare, and her favorite services to perform are facial treatments.

In addition to her work behind the chair and makeup brush, Hope also serves as Bella’s Wedding Coordinator, guiding brides through the booking process and acting as the main point of contact for bridal hair and makeup inquiries. As the salon’s Digital Marketer, she manages Bella’s social media presence, creates promotions, designs signage, and helps bring the brand to life online.

Hope’s favorite part of the beauty industry is having the opportunity to express her creativity while helping others feel beautiful in their own skin. Whether through makeup artistry or skincare, she is passionate about creating an uplifting experience where every guest feels confident, cared for, and seen.
