Amore Monet isn't just a makeup artist—she's a creator of transformative experiences who's built her career on making people feel their absolute best. From her beginnings as a self-described "weird kid" to becoming a sought-after beauty professional whose client list includes Beyoncé, Amore shares the remarkable journey that led her to develop a multifaceted career spanning bridal makeup, film production, mortuary services, and her own vegan makeup line.

What stands out most in our conversation is Amore's commitment to creating affirming spaces where clients can explore their authentic selves. "When you start losing sight of yourself, it completely diminishes everything of who you are as a person," she tells us, explaining how this philosophy shapes her approach to beauty work. This dedication extends beyond typical salon services—she offers free hair care for children experiencing depression or whose parents are struggling, recognizing how these small acts of kindness can have profound impacts.

The Houston native takes us behind the scenes of her work on productions like Netflix's "Mo" and her unexpected opportunity to work with Beyoncé (which she initially turned down to honor family commitments!). Her stories reveal not just the glamour of celebrity clients but the dedication, versatility, and professionalism required to succeed in diverse beauty environments. From horror film special effects to officiating weddings while dressed as Beetlejuice, Amore demonstrates how embracing creative opportunities can lead to a uniquely fulfilling career path.

Whether you're a beauty professional looking for inspiration or someone interested in the transformative power of self-expression, Amore's experiences offer valuable insights into creating spaces where everyone can feel confident, affirmed, and beautiful on their own terms. Discover more about her services and upcoming salon opening at AmoreMonet.com, and join us in celebrating a beauty professional who truly understands that looking good means feeling good.
