Makeup Classes in Houston

Play + Slay beauty classes

I have one question.
Did you come to play or slay?

I’m Nyoka, and I’ve been a hairstylist in Houston for 25 years and a makeup artist for 15. I have worked with many women and brides who always ask me about makeup lessons and maintaining their hair at home.

You want to know which foundation is the best for your skin type. You want to know what eye shadows will complement your beautiful brown eyes or how in the heck to put on false lashes. You can’t quite figure out how to pin curl your hair or simply where to start when wrapping your hair…bless your heart.

Well, honey, I am here to help. My Play+Slay Beauty Classes are easy to follow, completely personalized, and cater to all shades of beautiful women like you.

So what are you waiting for? Let’s start slayin’!
