Elevated beauty, artfully curated.
Meet Kristen Palmieri
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. I lead every booking, on location, with a calm and joyful presence in the room.
Artistry without excess
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.
North New Jersey roots. Gulf Coast mornings
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 salon style space, and I do not cut or color. Hair and makeup, with care, for the days that matter.
Unrushed, and still you
If we work together, it will feel unrushed. You will look like yourself. That is the point.
I lead every booking. For larger bridal parties, I work with trusted partner artists so everyone is ready on time.
Ready when you are
Tell me a little about your day and what you’re envisioning for your hair and makeup. I’d love to be a part of it!
