behind the chair

At Queen Bee Artistry, beauty is more than just a service — it’s an experience. I believe every person deserves to feel confident, celebrated, and completely themselves. Through intentional artistry, creativity, and a personalized approach, I create looks that highlight your individuality and bring your vision to life, whether it’s for a once-in-a-lifetime moment or simply a day you want to feel your best.

Hi, I’m Alicia — the creator and artist behind Queen Bee Artistry. For the past 5 years, I’ve had the honor of working in the beauty industry, bringing my passion for artistry, creativity, and self-expression to every client I meet.

After years of growing my craft, I officially graduated with my esthetician license in June 2026, expanding my love for beauty beyond makeup and into the world of skincare and intentional self-care. While I adore all things esthetics, lashes and customized facials hold a special place in my heart and are some of my favorite in-studio services to offer.

My artistry has taken me beyond my home state of Michigan, traveling across the United States to create unforgettable beauty experiences for my clients. From bridal mornings filled with excitement and emotion to festival weekends full of color, sparkle, and self-expression, I love creating looks that make people feel confident, comfortable, and completely themselves.

I specialize in bridal beauty and festival makeup, blending timeless elegance with creative artistry to bring each client’s unique vision to life. Whether you’re walking down the aisle, dancing under the festival lights, or taking time to invest in yourself, my goal is always to make you feel cared for and beautifully you.

I’m currently based just outside of Grand Rapids, Michigan, offering services from my studio space at Alluring Artistry while continuing to travel throughout Michigan and beyond — including destinations like New York, Florida, Ohio, and more.

Outside of the studio, I’m a proud boy mom, cat mom, and soon-to-be wifey. When I’m not creating beauty, you can usually find me adventuring with my Jeep, camping, kayaking, hiking, or soaking up the little moments that inspire my creativity.

Thank you for stepping into the world of Queen Bee Artistry. I can’t wait to create something beautiful with you.
