HOWDY!

I’m Nyoka Celestine, a Starbucks-lovin’, all-black-wearin’ wife, bonus mom, and traveling hair and makeup artist living deep in the heart of Texas, or should I say “H-town.” I was born and raised here in “The H” and have fallen in love with the city’s eclectic eateries, southern accent, and diverse community.

Anyone who knows me knows that I’ve always loved the beauty industry. I remember getting in trouble for cutting my sister’s Barbie doll’s hair one day when I was about 9 or 10 years old. Her hair was matted, so I felt she needed a trim! Another time, I can recall playing in my mom’s makeup and applying my blush so heavy that it looked like two shooting range targets on my cheeks. Please tell me I’m not the only one who did this…

I’ve always strived to be the type of artist unlike any other. I want to make hair and makeup fun, easy, and time-conscious. I mean, who wants to be in the salon for six hours just to get a shampoo and style? When you work with me, you’ll find that how I consult about your makeup, choose your style, and finish your look is different from anything you’ve experienced.

On any given day, if I’m not in my studio or with a lovely bride, you can find me tackling homework as a part-time college student, cooking a delicious meal for my family, enjoying tacos and margaritas with my friends, or curling up on the couch watching an Astros game with my four-legged baby “Celeste.”

At the end of the day, when I get that warm and fuzzy feeling in my heart, it lets me know that I’m doing what God has called me to do. That passion continues to drive me every day.

I am Nyoka Gregory Beauty!
