The Beginning of VINA & Co.
Veronica
I founded VINA & Co. formerly known as Beauty by VM in 2014 as a traveling South Florida bridal hair and makeup artistry company. I started off my journey by freelancing and things took off from there.
​
I am a Latina from Nicaragua that was raised here in South Florida and after high school I attended Florida Gulf Coast University and obtained a BA in Accounting. After college I spent 7 years as a financial advisor and investment banker and just freelanced as a makeup artist as a hobby. After years in the financial world, I took a leap and turn my passion for Hair and Makeup artistry into my work. I decided to take my passion into the Wedding hair and makeup space and fell in love.
My Professional
Training/Education
I have been a hair and makeup artist now for over 10 years. I have professionally trained as a bridal stylist thru the Kasia Fortuna Academy and am also a fully licensed esthetician in the state of Florida. I attended trainings with celebrity makeup artist Scott Barnes (Jennifer Lopez's makeup artist) & Mario Dedivanovic (Kim Kardashian’s Makeup Artist) to further my education. I am always looking to for ways continue my education in order to continue my growth with both hair and makeup artistry. My style is beautiful fully coverage soft glam that enhances my client's natural beauty while providing them with a glamorous long-lasting appearance. I love my art but mostly I love when my client's feel beautiful and confident. Makeup and Hair styling is an art and there is so much beauty and pride that I take getting to run a business doing what I love.

Grateful for...
My Team
I am so proud of where my passion has landed me and without a Team I do not know where I would be. Our artists are not just talented professionals but also a team of individuals who truly value the art of hair and makeup and really take pride in their work. We believe in beauty always being about the individual and how we can enhance the way they feel.
​
With out my team and family this business would not be the success it now is. I am also a soccer mom and busy wife. I enjoy a great cup of coffee, audible books (as I stay on the go), quite rooms, and I love listening to music when I need inspiration.
​
When booking with us you are supporting not just my dreams but also my teams! Thank you for taking the time to get to know me. I hope to serve you in the future.
