Client Love

A curated collection

Of effortless beauty

Hi, I’m Kirstie!

I’m the artist behind Beauty by the Beach, a professional hair and makeup artist based in New York. Though I now call the Hamptons home, my work takes me across the globe, from red carpets and runways to weddings and private clients. Trained in cosmetology, esthetics, and makeup artistry, I have built a career on enhancing natural beauty with a soft, effortless approach that leaves clients feeling like the most elevated version of themselves. Having lived and worked by the beach for much of my life, Beauty by the Beach came alive.

Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of working with celebrities, influencers, luxury brands, and major events such as New York Fashion Week, the Kids’ Choice Awards, the VMAs and many more.

Beyond my career, I’m a proud mother of two boys, who inspire my creativity and drive every day.

Let’s create something beautiful together-wherever the waves take us.
