We are Mena Garcia Beauty. Our team is committed to providing you the highest level of customer service, innovation, and quality artistry.

I have been obsessed with hair and makeup ever since I can remember. I loved the glam lashes, the sparkle, the lipstick, all of it. I truly believe the right makeup & hair can make you feel confident, beautiful, and ready to take on the world! I started this business 8 years ago and it grew into a wonderful team of hair and makeup experts. I am so thankful for this beautiful life and career that brings me joy with each client we serve.

THE TEAM

Ariel

Hi I am Ariel and I have been a part of MGB since 2019. I have been so thankful to work alongside Mena and grow from her leadership these past four years! I am a Raleigh native and have loved hair and makeup ever since my tragic blue eyeshadow days in middle school. I absolutely love what I do and get so much joy out of time spend making brides and bridesmaids feel their most beautiful! Outside of work, I love animals, baking, cooking and spending time with my husband Evan!

 

Amy

Hi, I am Amy! I just graduated from NC State with a degree in Criminology. I spend the majority of my free time with my dogs, but when I’m not doing that I love to read and explore with makeup. I first got into makeup when I was around 12 years old, and I fell more in love with it throughout the years. During my college career, I was given the opportunity to make it into a job when I started working with MGB in 2021!

Emma

Hi, I’m Emma! Thanks to my love of art, at a young age I started playing with makeup. I am originally from Upstate NY, and in 2015 I made the big move to Raleigh! Now at 23, I see makeup as a way to gift my art to others on some of the most important days of their lives. Besides all things hair and makeup, my hobbies include plant keeping, painting, astrology and being a pet parent with my boyfriend!

 

Kaitland

My name is Kaitland and I’m from Austin, TX- Hey ya’ll! I’ve been doing makeup for as long as I can remember. I started in the industry when my friends in college (GigEm, Aggies!) started asking me to do their makeup for events. From there I began doing photo shoots and weddings! It never gets old watching makeup elevate each clients natural beauty. My husband and I have a little girl Pressley, and two labs, Moose and Millie. When I am not chasing P or the dogs around I love traveling, pilates, and interior decorating!
