Girl on the Glow

Hello and welcome! I am Katie, the owner and Master Makeup Artist over here at Girl on the Glow. We are so beyond happy to have you! My passion for makeup and skincare started as a child, my responsibility as a makeup artist started in High School as I was the Lead Hair and Makeup Artist for my school’s drama department, my career in cosmetics began in college with the company Bare Minerals, and grew larger when I left the company after a long and empowering run to work as a Freelance Makeup Artist. My freelance career began by assisting some incredibly talented and reputable makeup artists in Northwest Indiana. I still work alongside them from time to time today, but in 2018 I decided to go out on my own. Girl on the Glow was officially born in 2019 and we have not slowed down at all since! I am also a Licensed Esthetician and am OBSESSED with all things skincare and products. I love to assist our clients, especially our upcoming brides, with skincare tips and tricks and I am always available for product and service recommendations. I spend a majority of my time focusing on Girl on the Glow, our team, our clients, and our future, but in my rare downtime, I have a few hobbies! I love to travel and have been to 34 countries to date. Cooking is a passion of mine, as well as interior design, shopping, being with my family and friends, juicing, sipping on Veuve Clicquot and coffee!
Hey there! I am Ashley Wells, the Master Hairstylist for Girl on the Glow. I am so excited you are here! While being a Licensed Cosmetologist for sixteen years, I did the whole “salon thing” for years and years before going into Freelance Hairstyling. I love how styles and techniques are constantly changing and evolving within the hair industry. Ten years ago, I decided to venture into the education of hair. This experience opened up a whole new world for me and I was hooked! I started looking for any type of photo shoots to take part in, just to gain more experience and get my hands on some hair. Once I started styling hair for weddings, I knew this was it. Weddings are magical and each one is so unique. It is a blessing to be in the position to help someone look and feel their best on the biggest day of their life. It is the greatest honor for me! When I am not styling hair, I am living my best life with my amazing and supportive husband and our two little ones in Southwest Michigan. I am a sucker for bike rides along the beach, coffee, travel and everything boho!
{LEAD HAIRSTYLIST}
Hello, I am Payton! I have been doing event and Bridal hair for almost 3 years now and I have loved every second of it! I especially enjoy the creativity that doing special event hair lets me have. It is a major honor to play a small part in making my clients feel more beautiful! I am always looking to learn new styles and techniques, especially from our Lead Hairstylist Ashley. Wedding and event hair is my speciality and main career, but I do see clients for haircuts and color part time during the week as well in a salon in Granger, IN. When not working with hair and my clients, I am very close with my family, my church, and my community! I met Katie while in Beauty College. I was obtaining my Cosmetology License while Katie was obtaining her Esthetics License.
{LEAD MAKEUP ARTIST}
I am Chloe! The newest member of Girl on the Glow even though I have known Katie since I was three years old! I have had a deep interest in makeup and skincare for over five years and never dreamt I could make both into a career and not just a hobby. Once the opportunity to make both a career came along, I jumped all over it. I started my college career at Ball State University and went down the path to becoming a Dermatologist, but found myself to be way too extroverted for the traditional classroom. I left college and obtained my Esthetics License instead. I am also a Certified Eyelash Technician. Skincare and skin health is where my passion begins and from there, working with my clients natural beauty to enhance their look using makeup grew into a full blown career. I am very excited to be a part of the getting ready process for our brides and help transform them on their Wedding Day. I am so thankful to be a part of the Girl on the Glow team and to have the opportunity to work with you!!

Brittany went above and beyond doing makeup for my big day. She is the sweetest soul you will ever meet and she will have you looking 10/10 in no time! I highly recommend for any special occasion you may be planning. She caters to all ages, shades and demographics. Everyone turned out STUNNING and not one person was disappointed with how she made them look and feel.
October 2020: Stephanie K.
I hired Brittany a few years back as my makeup artist for my clients and it was the best decision I ever made and never looked back. She’s truly a dream to work with and the women she comes to see for me just love and adore her. Her work truly speaks for itself but if you’re unsure for any reason I promise you it will be the best chance you ever took! Thank you Brittany for your amazing talent! Thank you for being so sweet and thank you for being my friend. ❤️❤️❤️

Lux Looks By Lulu
HEY, HOLA,
OR AS MY TODDLER WOULD LIKE TO SAY HAII !
I’m Lucero (loo-seh-roh) but you may also know me as Lulu or my childhood nickname Lucy! I’m a proud mompreneur putting my stamp in Michigan by creating stunning bridal looks that are sure to leave your guests wondering what celebrity popped up in a white dress!
I’m a small town girl, born and raised in Michigan by immigrant parents and very much supportive of ALL humans rights. I'm empathetic, loving, and care wayy too much about being the best at everything I do (that explains my enneagram 2w3).
But I’m also your best friend and the one you’d want to carry in your pocket to do your makeup whenever! The hour you spend in my chair could go one of many ways: a mini therapy session, a small nap, chatting about mom life, or the girl chat filled with laughter that you longed for.
I’m very very attentive to detail (some would say a perfectionist) and my love for making others happy and glowing on the inside is what makes me so good at making you feel beautiful. I can’t wait to service you!
xoxo Lulu

I went to Vogue Beauty school but my creativity really expanded after I started working in for a hair product company
Makeup by Keria
HEELLLOO! My name is Chelsea and I'm the head makeup artist/owner of this little business and my own cosmetics line Keria Cosmetics.
A little about me, I'm a wife, cat mom, kawaii loving, an enjoyer of video games, and an Enneagram 2w3 which definitely describes me to a tee!
With key motivations like wanting to be loved, expressing their feelings for others, feeling the need to be needed and appreciated, getting others to respond to them, and vindicating their claims about themselves. You can also add a dash of me being a Taurus zodiac sign to the mix.
It all makes sense that my first career was actually social work! I still use this degree sometimes to help brides ease their anxieties by helping them to relax as they are getting their makeup completed on their wedding day. When it comes to my makeup education I am a certified airbrush makeup artist from the Makeup First School in Chicago. I've also had the pleasure of training under famous artists like Emmy Winner Nicole "Lipsticknick" Faulkner, Jordan Liberty, Angie Battista, Orlando Santiago, and a few
others! I also hold several certifications in makeup sanitation practices as being a safe, hygienic, and clean makeup artist is one of my top priorities for my clients!
I started my makeup journey many years ago back in 2010 back then I was doing makeup in the editorial and fashion world. I would travel to Chicago for these types of sessions and had a blast doing them. I was published in several magazines that featured the models I worked on. It was such a fast-paced type of session and I learned how to apply a full face of makeup within 20 mins at times! During this time I also started doing makeup for the commercial industry as they tend to go hand in hand.
In 2013 I got asked to do my first wedding by one of my long-time photographer friends. We had worked together on editorial photo shoots and they referred me to their wedding client. I was so nervous because I had never done a session for bridal before! I arrived and fell in love and that's where it all started. I switched over from doing mostly editorial/fashion work in 2010-2013 to now where 90% of my sessions are bridal work. I've been featured in a few bridal magazines like The Wedding Mag and WeddingDay Magazine. I'm also a huge supporter of the Wands for Wildlife program and have worked on making my makeup kit with as many cruelty-free products as possible.
Bridal is my heart and soul at this point in my career and it shows. I've been a WeddingWire "couples choice" winner for the last 6 years and The Knots "Best of Weddings" winner for the last 3 years! This is such an honor as this award is only given to those whose clients leave that recommendation after they have worked together. I'm truly grateful for all my clients and vendor connections that I have made during the course of my career and I look forward to this next bridal season
