Can you believe it’s been a year already?! Now that March is wrapping up I’m just realizing a year ago today I closed Fifi’s! Which means we started moving into this space the beginning of March and officially opened The Backstage Stylist in May! ⏰ Time is flying by!! ✈️ That being said we are reviewing our service menu and looking to you to see if there are any beauty services we don’t currently offer that you would like us to look into? 🧚‍♀️ I’ve thought about offering natural and hybrid lash extensions again, would any of you be interested in those? I’ve had a bunch of inquiries but wasn’t sure how serious you all were about that. I’m also researching the famous celebrity facial: Neurotrophic Microcurrent Anti-gravity Facial and wondering if that’s something any of you have heard of and been wanting to try? 💆‍♀️ Starting sometime this April we will be offering a variety of Hydrojelly Facials! I can’t wait to tell you about them so be on the lookout for that email in the next few weeks! You can BOOK APPOINTMENTS online. Link in bio :) See you soon!

Happy 100th birthday in heaven to this Angel. I Still can’t believe she’s gone, but I’m also thankful and feeling blessed she was on this earth with us for as long as she was when others are taken way too soon. Here’s wedding day pic of her and my Grampy. I’m impressed she opted out of the traditional wedding gown and went with a classy 2pc suit. And check out the fascinator! I Love the 40’s fashions so much. Rip Gram Winifred Shaughnessy (at Albany, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/CbkaIF3uuWF/?utm_medium=tumblr

Head over to my blog @thebackstagestylist to see how I was #scammed working a week long job for Olympic gold medalists in what ended up a complete event failure. And how 3 years later none of us have been paid for services provided. #stargamessucks #auroragamesfailure #auroragamesdisaster #jerrysolomon #jerrysolomonisafraud #nancykerrigan #stargameshthieves #auroragamesthieves (at Albany, New York) https://www.instagram.com/gennshaughnessy/p/CZKHng_roPs/?utm_medium=tumblr

This is the most over requested wedding makeup look in the history of makeup looks… 🕰 Yes, it’s pretty. Yes, it’s shiny. Yes, this is a great photo. 📸 Also why there were 8,987,567,032 weddings over the last FOUR years with the SAME EXACT LOOK… and why this is the ONLY look some Makeup Artists have been able to perfect. 💐 If you’re getting married this year, I highly suggest you find a different look unless you want to look like every other bride. 🙏 Thank you for coming to my Ted talk. Sincerely, Seasoned Makeup Artists everywhere… 👄 💄 👄 💄 👄 💄 👄 💄 👄 💄 #makeuplooks #weddingmakeup #makeupalbany #albanymakeup #albanybeauty #beautyalbany #bridalbeauty #bridalmakeup #bridalalbany #albanybridal (at United States) https://www.instagram.com/p/CYXOprkObX7/?utm_medium=tumblr

Give yourself the gift of lashes this Holiday season with the LASH BOMB LASH LIFT! That’s right, I said SEASON bc it will last 6 weeks! Some clients even get 8! 🔥 Lash Bomb is an innovative method of giving the illusion to natural lashes. Making them appear longer and to have more volume, using formulations and products only made in the UK. Lash Bomb is a quick and impressive alternative to semi-permanent eyelashes and will enhance the client’s own natural lashes with little or no maintenance for weeks. 💣 You can Book with me online through the link in my bio, or DM me to set it up for you. Please feel free to ask me any questions. 💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋 ****************************** #browsalbany #albanybrows #lashesalbany #albanylashes #lashliftalbany #albanylashlift #hennabrowsalbany #albanyhennabrows #albanybeauty #beautyalbany #browdesigner #perfectbrows #browguru #browsonfleek #hennabrows #microblading #browwax #lashbombalbany #albanylashbomb #albanyskinclinic #albanybeautybar #albanybrowstudio #albanylashstudio #albanybrowstylist #glossgenius @glossgenius (at Albany, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/CX3-ypLLqE-/?utm_medium=tumblr

Dreams Made of Gold When you work with your favorite creators, magic happens. I love doing makeup and spending time in a safe space with like minded, down to earth, real af people like Destinii and Diane. 🔮 For this look our focus was evening wear, formal gowns, and furs (all pre owned / vintage of course!)… I wanted to focus on her beautiful eyes and skin so I went with an uplifting lash and liquid liner, a wee amount of liquid highlighter mixed with cream foundation and a translucent HD setting powder for it to shine through. 💄 The rest was all Diane and Destinii. Looking forward to more shoots next year.

Unfortunately I wasn’t able to explore as much of Edinburgh as I wanted to l. This trip was cut short unfortunately and I worked the majority of my time here. 🏫 I was able to manage to explore Old Town Edinburgh a bit with @lochnessmonsterglass and grab some photos of the beautiful architecture. ⛪️ Have you been? What was your favorite area? Mine was Edinburgh Castle and the surrounding streets. 🌀 They’re like a spiral descending down from the volcano it was built on not a grid like NY streets. It was so fun to walk around. 🏰 #oldtownedinburgh #edinburgh #travelblogger #scotland #scotlandisnow #fraserclan #unlimitedscotland #scotland #edinburghfood #sasseneach scotlandexplore #icu_scotland #beautifulscotland #scotlandtravel #ilovescotland #travelscotland #outlander#scotlandphotography #scotlandlove #historicscotland #scotlandtrip #discoverscotland #bonniescotland #bbcscotlandpics #scotland_ig #scotlandmagazine #outandaboutscotland (at Old Town, Edinburgh) https://www.instagram.com/p/CX1lrgWuT7D/?utm_medium=tumblr

Being stuck in Quarantine has it’s perks, yes I have Covid but I’ve mild symptoms thanks to the vaccine & booster shot! 💉 Most people think being a Stylist is easy, you get to buy pretty makeup, paint faces and be done with it. 👄 What they don’t see is the behind the scenes / back of house business… Business Planning, Networking, PR & Media, Taxes, Supply Orders, Emails, Social Media planning, Website Updates, Client Communication, Cleaning, Research & Development, Ongoing Education, Covid Compliance and more. 💻 So that being said, I’ll be working all day today on web updates and marketing with my trusty sidekick by my side. ✈️ Ever since I got back from Scotland she refuses to leave me which I don’t hate… I missed her so much while I was away from now on she’s just going to have to come with me everywhere…. 🐶 🧳 ✈️ 🎫 🧭 🧳 ✈️ 🎫 🧭 🧳 ✈️ #yorkiemom #yorkiesofinstagram #bossbabe #bosslady #bosslife #workfromhome #entrepreneur #stylist #makeupartist #stylistalbany #businessplanning #travel #makeupalbany #lashesalbany #albanybeauty #beautyalbany #albanylashes #albanymakeup #albanyweddings #albanystylist #stylistalbany #hennabrows #hennabrowsalbany #albanyhennabrows #albanylashlift #lashliftalbany #lashbomb #lashbombalbany #albanylashbomb (at Albany, New York) https://www.instagram.com/gennshaughnessy/p/CXyt5cnreQh/?utm_medium=tumblr
