Background

Jira is a freelance professional makeup artist and hairstylist in the San Francisco/ Bay Area. She has more than a decade of experience covering weddings, anniversaries, and other important events. Fourteen years ago she discovered that all women have imperfections; however they can look beautiful and unique in their own way. According to her, “It’s about knowing my clients – their lifestyles and personalities. It’s because every woman has her own unique characteristics and individuality that I can create the perfect look. The challenge is to meet every client’s expectations and desires, and by listening to them I’m able to. That’s what makes me a successful stylist.”

“Each woman’s skin tone, bone structure and hair color are different from everyone else, but by applying the perfect color, shade, and giving her the right hairstyle to fit her personality, it will bring out the best in her.” Being in the business for many years as a professional makeup artist and hairstylist, she defines an effective makeup artist as someone who knows that it goes beyond applying the right color on a woman’s face. Creating a new look for her clients is a challenge for every artist/stylist. As a stylist you need to know your clients. Once you get to know them, you understand what techniques to use and an idea of how to create a wonderful new look. This new look will give her the confidence to face the world.

Despite numerous degrees and certificates, Jira continues to learn her craft, giving her clients an experience and beauty they will treasure for a lifetime. She is currently working with more than 15 stylists under her supervision. In addition, Wowpretty is soon expanding to Southern California.

Finally, Jira is also coming up with her own makeup book entitled “Styles” by Wowpretty. It is not about the makeup that she puts on. It is about styles and new fashion Trends to give to her clients.

Education

While working on her Master’s degree in Communication Arts, Jira realized her inclinations towards makeup and signed up at Makeup Techniques International Co., Ltd Thailand 1993 (MTI). She then studied hair updo’s and hairstyles in Taiwan and Thailand in 1994. In 1999, she went to study advanced make-up in Lille, France.

While in the United States, Jira studied Advanced Air brush” at Kett cosmetics in San Francisco at Kryolan Makeup School. She also joined Face and Body Art International for “Hands On Training”

Jira also received a hair stylist license in cosmetology, and taken advanced classes from Vidal Sassoon in Los Angeles. She has also won a hairstyling contest in Santa Cruz, California and received recognition of excellence from Zensi’s Cosmetology.
