In 2024 Delysia is proudly relaunching her business, bringing fresh energy and innovative ideas to her services. She is introducing a new line of bridal and beauty packages that can be personalized to meet the diverse needs of her clients.

”I was a bridesmaid for one of my sisters weddings. As someone who, up to that point, had only worn eyeliner, having a full face of makeup professionally done was admittedly a little intimidating. However Delysia was very patient and answered every question I had, including where to start on my own adventure through makeup and skincare.”
