Meet the faces behind Glow To Beauty
Bethany Kooyman
Owner, Master Makeup Artist
Hello! My name is Bethany! Founder of Glow To Beauty. Thank you so much for being here! Makeup has been my passion since I was two years old. I have been wearing it and playing with it for as long as I can remember! Finding my place in the beauty industry (bridal) has been life changing, and it is what I do full time. The happiness I get from what I do is why I continue to pursue this career. I find so much joy in empowering women on one of the biggest days they will ever experience! I want each bride I work with to feel "pretty" and "polished, and "camera ready" on their wedding day. I have specialized in bridal makeup for 4 years, worked with countless brides, runway models, and have been published in local and national magazines. I will be sure to cater to your every beauty need and provide you with an exceptional stress free experience with me! I can calm the storms, and bring reassurance to you that you will feel inspired and confident in your Glow To Beauty!
Alexis Talley
Master Hair Stylist and Makeup Artist
Hi! I'm Alexis! I am so happy to be a part of Glow To Beauty. I've always known from a very young age that this would be the industry for me. I began my career by obtaining my cosmetology license from Paul Mitchell Schools in early 2018, followed by a year long apprenticeship. I'm a former MAC Cosmetics artist, as my passion for makeup and makeup education burns just as bright as it does with hair! During the week, I am behind the chair as a hairstylist and creative colorist at Brooks & Co. Salon and Spa. On the weekends, I am working with bridal parties for weddings as well as with my father, who owns Kevin Talley Photography, on photoshoots as a hairstylist and makeup artist. When you are in my chair, it is my focus to fully understand all of your wants and needs by discussing the goal desired, your hair type and texture, the overall vibe of your wedding, as well as bringing your ideas and visions to life. I am so excited to co-create with you and be a part of your very special day!
Lindsey Talley
Master Hairstylist
Hi there! I'm Lindsey! Growing up with a grandfather who owned Kentucky College of Barbering, a grandmother who was a hairdresser, and my mom a barber as well, I was destined to be a cosmetologist! I've been doing hair since 2008, and I enjoy the creativity and the challenge that each client brings to me! I'm experienced in all types and textures of hair, and extension styling as well! When Bethany asked me to join the Glow To Beauty team I couldn't wait to get started! Working behind the chair at Maylee Hair Lounge through the week, and doing the beautiful weddings and events with Glow To Beauty on the weekends has given me a wonderful and fun mix to my business. I can't wait to meet all of the future brides and families! Thank you for allowing me to be a part of your special day!
Mariam Zaki
Master Makeup Artist
Hi, my name is Mariam! I'm a professional freelance makeup artist, and I couldn't be more excited to be part of the Glow To Beauty family. I started my makeup career 7 years ago in retail, training with some of the best makeup brands like Laura Mercier, Chanel, Urban Decay, and Tarte to name some of the few! I started off doing fashion events, proms, weddings, and evening events. I found my passion in makeup by inspiring women to feel their best. When you look beautiful you FEEL beautiful, and that is my number one goal.
Sarah Tehrani
Master Makeup Artist
Hi! I'm Sarah, and I am so excited to be part of the Glow to Beauty team! Having loved playing with makeup for as long as I can remember, these are opportunities I always enjoy. Growing up I would do all of my cousins makeup for their school dances. But I truly got my start in 2015 while I was living in New Jersey. I was unhappy in the job I had at the time and took a leap of faith and enrolled into a makeup masterclass program. I soon after started working at Sephora and never looked back. Eventually I moved back home to Kentucky and worked for a couple years as a counter manager where I would discover my passion for bridal makeup. Bridal makeup is such a special space for me in that I love making women feel beautiful and confident while still allowing them to feel like themselves. I'm looking forward to working with you and helping you to achieve the look you desire.
