a natural and put her to work. Marie assisted in producing designs
in hair updos and makeup design for brides, newscasters, photo
shoots and more. She began to freelance in hair and makeup for a few
years until she decided to pursue a license in Esthetics and
received her license in 2005. Marie has since produced a skincare
clinic in San Francisco, Rodeo and currently in Hercules. She is
