The House of Ember is a luxury spa based out of Kalamazoo Michigan, providing on-site wedding makeup and hair services throughout the Mid-West as well as many other beauty and spa services locally.
For over 16 years, our founder has been redefining beauty through artistry, education, and passion and now leads a team that does the same. As an award-winning makeup artist, permanent makeup artist, and licensed aesthetician, she’s built her career on one guiding belief — that everyone carries a glow within them…sometimes all it takes is a little care to rekindle it into a flame again.
Alissa is an alumna of Albion College and the Douglas J Aveda Institute.
Her expertise extends beyond the treatment room — she’s a mentor and educator dedicated to helping other beauty professionals succeed through hands-on training and business guidance.
When Alissa is not in the studio, she can be found spending time with her husband and three sons...wearing a top knot and makeup free!
At The House of Ember, it is our intention to bring knowledge and power to our clients through education and by providing client-focused solutions.
