I’m Kristen Palmieri, a hair and makeup artist with more than two decades in bridal and special-event beauty. Chic Artiste is my work — one artist, on location, with a calm and joyful presence in the room.

I create timeless, personalized looks that enhance what is already there. Beauty should feel effortless, personal and completely your own. I believe in artistry without excess: enough polish to photograph beautifully, never so much that you disappear.

I built this business in North New Jersey. I now bring the same standard to Lakewood Ranch, Sarasota, Manatee County, and Florida’s Gulf Coast. I come to your home, hotel, or venue. I do not operate a walk-in salon, and I do not cut or color. Hair and makeup, with care, for the days that matter.

If we work together, it will feel unrushed. You will look like yourself. That is the point.
