APRIL GARCIA -is New Jersey born and raised, but has been living between Phoenix and Los Angeles for over 15 years. 

   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. 

  Since being in LA, I have had the pleasure of working with some amazing talent and incredible projects seen on Amazon, Netflix, and network television.

   I can achieve  beautiful glam looks and at the same time do natural HD no makeup makeup. I love horror and can do some wicked 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.
