Over 25 years of experience in the beauty and wellness industry led Erika (EJE) to have worked with a range of everyday women, and executives, celebrities and models. After seeing chemical damage, stressed and over processed hair, to thinning hair and hair loss, EJE noticed clients were losing self-confidence. She found that women's wellness in general was lacking due to work demands, schedules and raising families. These challenges resulted in the consumption of more fast and processed foods, prescription medications and little to no exercise. EJE has a system to help women, even a few men achieve overall wellness, a balanced lifestyle. The EJE Lifestyle Blueprint. Curated in 2010, The EJE Lifestyle Blueprint, is a uniquely planned approach through applied techniques of compiled research and formulations, using natural ingredients to improve and cure the damaging effects of unhealthy hair, skin and body. Each plan is customized to the individual needs of each client and is tracked in a HAIRPORT, a fancy version of a passport to keep up with your hair and wellness journey! During our chat Erika shared how she supports her clients who have been diagnosed with cancer, her opinion on cosmetic licensing for wig stylists, how to have hard conversations with your clients, what it’s like going from salon to salon suite, old school practices in a modern world and so much more.

Kim is a Makeup Artist and Founder of Glamazon Beauty. Her unique background and approach to beauty is what sets her apart from her peers. For 20 years, Kim was in front of the camera, beginning as a size 4 model and then in the early 90s became what was considered one of the pioneers in the plus size industry. During that time, Kim was influenced by some of the best makeup artists in the industry - Fran Cooper, Reggie Wells, Quietfire, Kevyn Aucoin and Paul Star. Her very first makeup artist, at age 13, was the legend Way Bandy. Kim learned early on the power of great makeup and a great makeup artist; so, when she met a makeup artist who was just starting her own line, and shared her philosophy about makeup, "Don't fall into trends-just play up your best features!" Kim began working for her company. That was 30 years ago, and the makeup artist was Bobbi Brown. It was from her experience there and years in the industry that Kim was able to secure opportunities as a full-time makeup artist. In 2006, Kim received her big break - working for Hollywood A-Lister Tom Cruise and actor Ving Rahmes for the Mission Impossible movie press junket. And the rest is history... She joins us this week on the Friends in Beauty to share Glamazon Beauty’s upcoming launch on HSN on August 14th, so mark your calendars and enjoy this episode!!

He is a man that is diligent, executes with passion, and performs with integrity at focus. Being from Miami, Fl., he also brings a unique flavor into the room. In 2008, he was accepted into the Department of Theatre Arts with a concentration in musical theatre at the illustrious Howard University. While receiving his training, he met Reggie Ray who served as his professor and mentor. He’d trained in stage makeup with Reggie Ray. The training entailed that of character makeup, enhancement, and what defines beauty. It was then when he realized a love for creating and storytelling through the art of make-up. Once he received a Bachelors of Fine Arts, he jumped into the field working on campaigns with model agencies in the D.C. area. Finding his power in editorial beauty, Jeffery began to leave his mark making an impact with photographers, stylists, models, etc. He soon after started landing spreads in magazines (Elléments, Elegant, PUMP, Selin, Solstice Magazine, Essence) both nationally and internationally. This led him to gain clientele from D.C., New York, and his hometown Miami, Fl. After working on the east coast for 3 years, Jeffery relocated to the Los Angeles area venturing into tv and film.
