About Beauty Entourage Event Hair & Makeup Team

About us

BE has always been mission driven with the principles of two things, BE Authentic and BE Educated

Beauty Entourage began as one artist and one dream. Our mission is to empower all artists with a team that will help make those dreams come true.

Our Impact

Building confidence that sustains

The beauty industry can come across as superficial or vein. As artists we get to see the industry from a different view and often forget our impact on women as a whole. We are committed as a company not only to build confidence for our client’s with how they look and feel about themselves but, also for ourselves. When you feel good and are confident to walk in rooms, that energy is contagious and great things can happen!

Mobile beauty was never thought of as a full time career let alone a viable business. Beauty Entourage began for Ashley, much like many businesses, as a side hustle.
