Hi, I’m Mery, a professional hair and makeup artist with over 15 years of experience in the beauty industry. My journey began in Europe, where I built my career working with brides, special events, and editorial clients. I also had the privilege of running one of the most recognized salons in my home country, where I later became an educator and mentor for other stylists, teaching advanced techniques in both hair and makeup.
After many years of building my career in Europe, I relocated to Arizona, where I now work with brides across Tucson, Phoenix, and surrounding areas.
My philosophy has always been simple: your face and hair are not a place to take chances. On a day as important as your wedding, experience, attention to detail, and a calm presence truly matter.
I specialize in timeless, elegant bridal hair and makeup that enhances your natural beauty while lasting throughout the entire day, from getting ready in the morning to your last photo of the night. Whether you’re dreaming of a soft romantic look, natural glow, or full glam, my goal is always to create a style that still feels like you.
Beyond technique, what I care about most is client experience. I take pride in truly listening to my brides, understanding their vision, and making sure they feel comfortable, confident, and completely taken care of. Your wedding morning should feel calm, joyful, and special, and I love being part of creating that atmosphere.
I look forward to helping you feel beautiful, confident, and unforgettable on your wedding day.

I cannot say enough amazing things about Merys Beauty Studio! ✨
From the very first message, her communication was absolutely top-tier—she was responsive, helpful, and made the...
entire booking process so easy. Scheduling and paying my deposit was seamless, which took so much stress off my plate during wedding planning.
On the day of my wedding, she arrived early and ready, which I truly appreciated. She did both my hair and makeup, as well as my 6-year-old daughter’s, and I was beyond impressed. She worked so efficiently and gently with my daughter that she stayed happy and comfortable the entire time—which says everything!
What really blew me away was how she took our inspiration ideas and turned them into true masterpieces. We both felt absolutely beautiful. She has such a talent for bringing your vision to life while still making you feel like the best version of yourself.
She didn’t just do our hair and makeup—she made my wedding day feel even more special and stress-free. I am so grateful for her.
I will 100% be using her again for all my future hair and makeup needs and will be recommending her to all of my friends and family.
If you’re considering booking her—DO IT. You will not be disappointed! 💕

I’m so glad I had Mery do my hair and makeup. I can be kind of picky and she was really patient with me and talked through everything, without even knowing the kind of person I am,...
so that made me feel comfortable with how it was going to turn out.
She made me feel really welcome and you could just tell she genuinely loves what she does. It didn’t feel like she was there to do her job, the energy she brought doing everyone’s make up and hair really just showed how much she cares and enjoys what she does. The best part of everything was I felt like myself, maybe just a little more put together. And everything lasted all day for me and my girls. My sister also loved it so much planning to use her for her wedding in October.
Overall, I highly recommend Mery. The work she did was incredible but the experience with her definitely made it better.
