About Hope

Hope’s journey into the world of beauty began at West Virginia University, where she majored in Fashion Design and Merchandising. While in college, she landed an internship that took her backstage at Paris Fashion Week — an inspiring experience that led to her first makeup artistry role at MAC Cosmetics. During her time with MAC, she discovered her true passion for makeup and spent nearly two years developing her skills in everything from 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, she’s also a member of the Bella Bridal Team, specializing in everything from bridal glam to prom, drag, and SFX makeup. Her creative versatility allows her to bring each client’s vision to life with confidence and artistry.

Hope’s favorite part about being a makeup artist is getting to express her creativity through makeup while helping others feel beautiful in their own skin. Whether it’s soft and natural or bold and transformative, she believes makeup is a powerful tool for self-expression and confidence.

In addition to her work behind the brush, Hope wears several hats at Bella:

She serves as Wedding Coordinator, acting as the main point of contact for all bridal hair and makeup inquiries and guiding clients through the booking process.

As the salon’s Digital Marketer, she manages social media, creates engaging promotions, designs signage, and curates Bella’s digital presence.

She’s also part of the Guest Services team, assisting with scheduling, check-ins, and creating a welcoming experience for every guest.

Hope brings passion, creativity, and warmth to everything she does — and she loves nothing more than making people feel seen, confident, and beautiful.
