Natalie Pace
Tattoo Artist • Lead Makeup artist • Stylist
Natalie's passion for beauty is inspired by her love of art and deep appreciation of creative expression. She enjoys exploring varying techniques and the latest trends in PMU, tattooing, makeup application, as well as hair and brow styling.
Natalie has always loved to draw and has been inspired by Tim Burton’s unique aesthetic since a young age. Seeing and experiencing Tim Burton’s work on exhibition at the Museum Of Modern Art (MoMA) in 2009 is one of her fondest memories. Summer dance intensives presented by the University of the Arts (UArts) in Philadelphia as well as Wesleyan University’s Center of Creative Youth (CCY) heightened her affinity for dance and expanded her love of the arts.
Natalie’s early artistic experiences nurtured her creativity, and ultimately, led her down a career path where self expression could thrive. She has been a licensed cosmetologist since 2015, with an emphasis in bridal makeup and hair styling. Her work has been featured in Connecticut Bride magazine. Soon, Natalie was eager to take on another artistic skill set, and after putting in the time and work on a stellar apprenticeship with Sarah, Natalie is Licensed Tattoo Artist. She is thrilled to be making her, and her clients’, tattoo dreams come true!
Shelby Fay
PMU & TATTOO ARTIST
Shelby has always had an affinity for creative expression. Her two passions in life are literature and art, which developed back in middle school. While falling in love with works by Shakespeare and Edgar Allan Poe, she became known around school for drawing Tim Burton characters on desks and painting a Coraline ceiling tile for the entrance hallway.
Despite her love for it, Shelby's artistic drive became more of a hobby when she chose to focus on literature and graduated from WNEU in 2017 with a bachelor's in writing. Her hopes were to someday write a book and join the workforce as a copywriter, however, after years of attempting to work in marketing and copywriting positions, she began reevaluating her career options. Now, Shelby has temporarily set aside her writing goals to follow her new dream of becoming a tattoo artist! Though she is new to the beauty industry, Shelby is thrilled to be able to stretch her creative wings and learn about the world of tattooing and permanent makeup.
Hunter Defurio
Sarah's Apprentice
Art has been a passion of Hunter's since a very young age. She would come home from school and instead of doing homework she'd draw with her Grandmother everyday - who was her first inspiration. Going into Middle School she discovered makeup and how much of a creative outlook that gave her.
Hunter would experiment with various forms of makeup: SFX, Bridal, Editorial and Beauty. However, she began to develop an interest in psych and learning how the brain works during her early college years, sadly having to put art on the back burner to concentrate on her studies.
When she was focusing on school and ultimately earning a Bachelors Degree from CCSU...she realized that was not her passion. During quarantine, she knew that was her time to fully divulge in art, painting every day, learning new skills and teaching herself new techniques. "Having the opportunity to turn my passions into a career is something I will forever be grateful for, and continue to learn and grow everyday."
