✨ I can’t believe it’s already been a whole month at @sloanes_beauty_bar ✨ It feels like the perfect time to reintroduce myself to all my amazing new followers and give a big thank-you to everyone who’s been with me for a while. The last month at my new salon has been nothing short of incredible, and I’m beyond grateful for your love and support! So, for those of you who are new (and even for my OGDs who might not know all these fun facts about me), here’s a little “get to know me” moment: • I moved to the U.S. from Ecuador when I was 12 🇪🇨 • I’m obsessed with my little family! I became a mom last year to a baby girl named Santana, and I’ve been with my best friend Jason for 12 years—married for 7! 🧑‍🧑‍🧒💖 • I’m a Pisces, so trust me, my intuition is always spot on 😉♓ • Spanish was my first language—I didn’t speak English until I moved here! 💬 • I’m all about investing in experiences, whether it’s education, travel, or concerts 🎶✈️📚 • I may be 4’11”, but people always say my personality is 10 feet tall 😄 • Jason( @livingoodphoto ) and I run a wedding business together—he takes the stunning photos, and I get everyone wedding-day glam! 💍📸💄 • Entrepreneurship is in my blood—I come from a long line of business owners 👩🏻‍💼 • I’m bilingual and LOVE having a diverse clientele. Let’s chat in Spanish or English, whatever you prefer! 💕 • I have a background in competitive dance, and it’s where I first learned to do my own hair and makeup 💃🏻 Bonus Fact: I’m currently taking new clients and have availability—so if you’ve been thinking about booking, now’s the time! Thank you all again for making this past month at my new salon so special. I’m so excited for everything that’s still to come, and I can’t wait to see all of you in my chair soon! ✨

Being a small business owner, an immigrant, and a proud Latina means carrying forward a dream that started generations ago in my family—a dream built on resilience, hard work, and a love for community. Thank you for being part of this journey with me. Supporting small businesses doesn’t have to cost a thing, but it means everything to people like me. Let’s keep the love going—your kindness makes the magic happen! 💖 @x.marialivingood

I know it’s kinda corny, but it’s the truth—I really love what I do as a hair and makeup artist. From creating that soft glam for your special moments to helping you feel your absolute best with your hair, I feel so lucky to be a part of your story. Honestly, it never feels like ‘work’ when I get to do what I love every day. 💕

✨ Wedding Day Tips for Hair & Makeup! ✨ Your big day is all about celebrating love, but it’s also important to feel relaxed and confident. Here are a few tips to keep in mind: 1. Prep Your Skin: Leading up to the big day, focus on skincare—facials and exfoliation help create a smooth base for makeup. 2. Stay Hydrated: Keep water close by—it’s key for glowing skin and keeping your energy up! 3. Hair & Makeup Timeline: Stick to the schedule! We’ll be sure to schedule extra time for touch-ups and last-minute adjustments. 4. Have Some One-on-One Time: Sneak away with your spouse for a few minutes to soak in the moment together. 5. Relax: Trust your beauty team and enjoy every second—you’ve planned for this, and today is all about YOU!💕 . . . . #minnesotabride #bridalhairandmakeup #bride #minneapolisbridalmakeup #minneapolisbride #minneapolis #stpaul #bridetobe

Grateful doesn’t even begin to describe how I feel about the support of my amazing clients this past year! 💕 From becoming a mom to becoming my own boss, it’s been a journey of balancing everything I love. This schedule has given me the opportunity to do what I love while being present for my family, and I couldn’t be more thankful for those of you who keep me busy and inspired! 🙌🏼 I look forward to serving more of you in the future, but for now, I’m so grateful for each and every one of you. 💫
