Aly has always had a passion for makeup and beauty! She grew up around her mom doing Mary Kay and at 5 years old, she'd help her mom set up for her parties and needed to be involved in all the glam fun. When moving to Charlotte from upstate NY back in 2015, Aly eventually created her own brand and started doing freelance make-up artistry. She's the happiest when she's doing make-up and her favorite part of her job is the reaction from her clients and watching them love themselves and feel beautiful!

Fur mama and Charlotte native, Sabrina joined the Be Pretty team in 2012 bursting with sunshine at her fingertips. She is our resident Serena Van Der Woodsen; subtract the scandal, and add in superior style. After studying at Queens University, Sabrina honed in her speedy skills as an updo connoisseur by pinning every strand to perfection. She is a world traveler and can often be seen driving around her sweet pup-babes Eleanor, Hobbes and Isla.

If Elle Woods was ever channeled into a human in real life, Charisse is that girl. Trade out law school for lip gloss and add in a pet pug named Bruce and wahlah! Joining the Be Pretty team in 2014 after relocating with her husband from New York City, she applied her Make-Up Designory (MUD) education and took on the beauty world of the South by storm. She is a firm believer in the bigger the dreams, the bigger the hair and has Rapunzel like locks to prove it.
