APRIL GARCIA -is New Jersey born and raised, but has been living between Phoenix and Los Angeles for over 18 years. Currently living in Atlanta and frequently traveling for work.
I got into the hair and makeup industry in 2011 and have been on an amazing journey ever since. I started in a beauty salon, worked for several bridal companies, photo studios, makeup counters and everywhere in between.
Some notable achievements include working on shows for Bravo!, CNBC, Netflix and MTV.
I can achieve beautiful glam looks and at the same time do natural HD no makeup makeup. I love horror and SFX, and I love to style hair and do wig work.
I am dedicated and driven and bring passion to every project I'm on. You can always see me smiling and making the talent feel comfortable in my chair. I'm all about good vibes.
