Halie Allen

Owner, Hair Stylist and Makeup Artist

Halie's journey in the modeling industry began in 2015, where she graced magazines, conquered runways, and participated in styled shoots. The turning point came when she discovered her passion for makeup and hair during a collaboration on a popular magazine set. Eager to learn, she underwent private courses, studying under a skilled artist, and ventured into her own part-time makeup and hair styling business in 2018. From those humble beginnings, she transformed it into the flourishing Lush Beauty Bar. What sets Halie apart is her genuine love for client interaction, making her services more than just a transaction. Whether it's bridal elegance, full glam, or the perfect look for homecoming and prom, Halie is dedicated to turning your dream into a stunning reality.

Amanda Bellina

Hair Stylist and Makeup Artist

Hi, I’m Amanda! Growing up, I always had a talent and love for hair and makeup. Life had other plans for awhile, but my passion never faded. Within my work, I strive to create an open environment where everyone can be themselves. Getting to be creative and share my love for people is something that inspires me everyday. Whether it’s prom, weddings, or just a night out, helping people feel beautiful is my favorite thing too.

In my spare time, my fiancé and I love traveling, finding unique places, and going to concerts whenever we can. When we’re not doing that, we love staying at home watching ink masters with our cats!

Madison Smith

Makeup Artist

My name is Madison. I love makeup and how expressive it is and has been for me throughout my own life experiences and journey. It has been not only a passion but a way of expression for me and everyone I’ve had the opportunity to do makeup for. I love the feeling of being able to really change someone’s view of themselves for the better and making them feel good about themselves no matter the situation, weddings, proms/homecoming, graduation, etc.. Reactions from clients are the best; when you can really see they are happy with the way they see themselves. I enjoy being creative and doing something that makes, not only myself, but my clients feel proud!

In my spare time I enjoy watching movies with my family, playing board games, or video games and just being with my boyfriend, son and lovable Dog, Evie.

Meighan Mendez

Admin, Hair Stylist and Makeup Artist

About Meighan: My name is Meighan Mendez, I am a self described "girly girl", I enjoy all things beauty and I am a wife and mother of three daughters. I was introduced to the modeling industry at a young age and immediately fell in love with the makeup side of things. Working with many different people on set I picked up tips and tricks along the way and used them in my own beauty routine. I then took a few beginner makeup courses offered through an agency I worked with. Fast forward SEVERAL years, my heart is still passionate about making art on live canvases. Doing hair for special occasions is also something I have started to enjoy doing. I have experience doing Weddings, Homecomings, and Proms independently for close friends. My favorite part about doing what I love is seeing how excited a person is when I am finished and they look in the mirror. I trained directly under Halie Allen, owner of Lush Beauty Bar.

Kate Helton

Manager

My name is Kate Helton and I have been working with Halie since the beginning. While I don’t work hands on with hair and makeup, I do enjoy making sure everything behind the scenes runs smoothly for our clients’ experience from their first inquiry to wedding day!

I, myself, am married to my high school sweetheart, and have two beautiful little girls. My favorite part of working in the industry is being able to play a small part in making our clients look and feel their best on their big days! Regardless of the event, there is something so rewarding about enhancing the beauty and confidence of others.
