Born and raised in Brooklyn, New York, Briana has always had a love and passion for the beauty industry, particularly the hair and makeup field. Briana began her career working at the world-famous Oscar Blandi Salon on Fifth Avenue in New York, and studied makeup under renowned makeup artist JSterling. She concentrated her studies on mastering specific styles such as: Fashion Editorial, Bridal and other classic makeup applications.

Brides And Weddings
Briana specializes in creating and turning hair and makeup visions into realities, for brides all over the New York and New Jersey area. For Briana, this is one of the most rewarding parts of being a hair and makeup artist and is what she enjoys doing the most.
Briana listens to you closely when you describe to her what your complete vision or fantasy for your wedding look is. She talks with you until she really gets it and understands your vision for your look. Then, she will transform you into the beautiful bride you have always pictured and imagined yourself being. Contact Briana at the phone number below or fill out the form on the contact page, to discuss your wedding and the special look you have been dreaming of.
But, creating beautiful brides and wedding looks are just part of the services Briana offers. Here is a little more about some of the other services Briana offer her clients.
Hair Extensions
Hair extensions are an absolutely perfect solution for anyone that wants to have beautiful, long, thick hair in just a few hours time. If you are trying to grow your hair out, Briana can give you that long hair look you want right now, while you wait for your real hair to grow out underneath. Or, if you want a complete transformation for your wedding, a special party, or any other important event where you want to look amazing, Briana can install extensions to radically change your hair. When you want to make a stunning impact, one of the most dramatic ways to make it, is to have hair extensions put in by a trained professional. Extensions assure you that your long hair will be in great condition and look absolutely beautiful. Long hair requires careful handling and is prone to damage, which can ruin its look. With extensions, you get instant length and long hair that is in great condition and easy to style in any way you choose. You also have the flexibility to take them out and return to a short hairstyle whenever you please.
However, extensions aren't just for adding length to you hair. If you have thinner hair, extensions of the same length can give your hair a great volume boost, allowing you to style your hair in ways that would not have been possible without them. When extensions are installed by Briana or another trained professional, nobody will ever be able to tell you have them. Your hair will just look 'better', and it will never be obvious to anyone that you have extensions. Finally, hair extensions can also be used to add some fun color to your hair. If you've always wanted to try a pink or blue streak in your hair, extensions can instantly give you this without the hassle of dyeing or causing any damage to your own hair. The best part is, your extension can just as easily be removed if you tire of it, or in situations where it would seem inappropriate.
There is a technique to placing extensions that Briana will be glad to teach you, which will ensure that your extensions always look completely natural. She can also ensure that your extensions are a perfect match for your hair color. This is something that is extremely difficult to do from color swatches online, given the variation in colors displayed in photographs and on computer monitors. After Briana has placed your extensions, she will show you how to style your new length and volume in a way that is most flattering for your face and perfectly suited to your needs. Again, this is something you won't get from extensions that you buy online or anywhere else!
Eyebrow Shaping
The shape of a person's eyebrows is a key factor in whether we perceive a face to be beautiful or not, and subtle changes in brow shape can make an incredible difference in the way you look. Shaping the eyebrows is an essential part of the complete makeup process and this small change to your face can dramatically enhance your beauty, while still giving you a very natural look. Once shaped, you can play them up with eye make-up or play them down with minimal make-up, either way your eyes will still look as beautiful as they can. Unfortunately, many women do not know what the best shape is for their brows, and it is very difficult to look objectively at your own face and decide on the perfect shape. A great brow can give a lifting and softening effect, adding symmetry and subtle style. Once Briana has shaped your brows, it will be easy for you to maintain that shape yourself, without the temptation to over-pluck now that you know you have the perfect shape for your face!
Faux eyelash application
Almost every woman has experimented with faux eyelashes at some time, probably with mixed results. On the other hand, professionally-applied faux lashes can be natural-looking, long-lasting and give a subtle enhancement to your face, so that you still look like you... just better. Briana can professionally apply faux lashes and lash extensions that last up to six weeks, giving you a beautifully full, long set of eyelashes that make you look naturally beautiful.
Whether you have thin, short or just pale eyelashes, faux eyelashes will subtly enhance your look and they are perfect for all situations. From a party or special night out, to being worn regularly at the office. The length of time faux eyelashes will last you depends on the skill of the make-up artist that applies them. Briana has extensive experience in false lash application, so when she applies your new faux lashes, you will be sure to get the most out them. She will know exactly where to place each false lash in order to enhance your eyes and draw attention to them, while still looking natural and appropriate for every-day life.
Briana is currently on call at Salon BellaDonna, in Old Bridge, New Jersey.
