About Transcendental Beauty

Transcendental Beauty

Beauty that Honors the Real You: Soft, Romantic, and Forever Timeless

You should feel like yourself, just more intentional. At Transcendental Beauty, I specialize in structured yet lived-in textured hair and skin-focused satin makeup that enhances (never masks) your natural features; curls, freckles, and all. Please note: We support our Veterans, First Responders and LGBTQI couples 🫶

I take on a limited number of brides to create calm, grounded wedding mornings. This experience is best suited for those who value presence over pace and refinement over full or trendy glam. If you’re envisioning a large party or a dramatic transformation, I may not be the right fit and that’s okay. Most brides invest between $1250–$3250 for a personalized, one-on-one experience depending on their needs and party size. We specialize in bride only or small scale wedding parties.

The best, most natural glam EVER
I'm not somebody who typically wears makeup (maybe 2-3 times in the past 3 years), so I was nervous to book a makeup artist. After seeing Guadalupe's work I was sold. So natural looking and so beautiful. Guadalupe and her team were incredibly responsive and helpful. Myself, my mom, mother in law, and maid of honor all had hair and makeup services for my wedding and we were obsessed. Everybody said how we all looked like ourselves, just elevated. The touch-up bag after Guadalupe left had everything I needed and even things I didn't know I needed! Prompt, professional, and amazing work. 10/10 would recommend!

Transcendental Review-Bride
Working with Transcendental Beauty was a game-changer for our wedding day. From the initial consultation through to the final touch-ups, their communication was seamless and responsive—they answered every question and kept us informed every step of the way. What really stood out was their meticulous attention to detail; they took time to understand exactly what we envisioned and executed it flawlessly. They showed up prepared and organized, which honestly made my day so much easier and allowed me to actually enjoy the moment instead of stressing. I'd highly recommend Transcendental Beauty to any couple looking for beauty professionals who genuinely care about their craft and their clients.

My Wedding
Transcendental Beauty was an absolute joy to work with for my wedding day. From our very first interaction, on FaceTime I was immediately sure I wanted them. The day of my wedding , the team was attentive and funny, and deeply professional. They immediately put me at ease with their warm personalities and clear expertise. On the day of the wedding, their talent and intuitive skills shone through - makeup they created for me was absolutely gorgeous, making me feel like the best version of myself. I adored Guadalupe and I'm going to be looking for any excuse to rebook her again for anything else that may come up in my life lol - they truly made my wedding day that special!

AMAZING
Lupe is INCREDIBLE. Our wedding was 6/7/25, and I did a trial with her for my bridal shower on 4/6/25. She’s willing to travel to you for the trial (in addition to the wedding of course) which helped me out SO much! I felt like the most beautiful person on the planet on my wedding day and that’s truly all thanks to Lupe. She perfected my makeup and hair to exactly the way I wanted it. And the two hair & makeup artists she brought with her to take care of my bridesmaids???? They were also INCREDIBLE. My bridesmaids all couldn’t stop gushing about how much they loved their hair and makeup and honestly I was shocked because I have a few hard pleasers! Lupe is just so professional and it truly shows: she helped throughout the entire hair extension purchase process to make sure I got the perfect style and color for my hair, then cleaned and prepped the hair extensions for me and gave me a hair extension bag to store them in, started massaging my shoulders on my wedding day when I was stressing over the weather and the possibility of having to bring the wedding indoors, greatly helped the photographers with all their photos even after she was already done with my hair and makeup, then stayed behind to touch all us girls up after we got drizzled on by rain for our getting ready photos outside, and even gave me a touch up kit before she left for the day. She is just A service and SO worth every penny - I highly suggest her to anyone who needs hair/makeup and she’s also such a pleasure to be around and speak with!!! I’ve attached some photos from my wedding day so you can see for yourself how amazing her work is!!

Wow, reading this just made my day🥹✨ Thank you for trusting me with such a huge milestone in your life, from your bridal shower trial all the way through the big day. I loved being there not just as your artist, but as an extra set of hands (and calm energy!) when things got hectic. Your bridesmaids were a blast and seeing you light up when you looked in the mirror will forever be one of my favorite moments. I’m beyond grateful for your kind words and photos. Wishing you endless love and laughter in your marriage!

Bridal Makeup
Lupe is nothing short of amazing!! During my bridal trial, Lupe listened carefully to my vision for my wedding hair and makeup. Based on my vision, she provided expert guidance to make sure my skin and hair were in the best state. On the day of my wedding, Lupe brought a calm and confident energy to the room, which was exactly what I needed. She was super sweet, receptive to feedback, and so extremely professional and organized. Despite having oily skin, Lupe applied a perfect application of makeup that didn’t appear too much and lasted all night! And I mean all night, I had to scrub it off at the end of the night because it stayed so well intact. Similarly, my hair kept its curls until it was time to shower. You will not regret choosing her services for your special day!
