ABOUT ESTELLE
I considered becoming a culinary entrepreneur, but while that professional path never fully opened, opportunities in beauty continued to find me. Today, cooking remains one of my greatest passions—my creative space and one of the most meaningful ways I show love to my family and those closest to me.
A Compliment Changed My Direction
My journey into beauty began unexpectedly when one of my styling client complimented my makeup and suggested that I try modeling. She was so convincing that she gave me a contact and encouraged me to pursue it. What began as a conversation about hand modeling soon became an opportunity to explore face and full modeling. I loved the experience, and it introduced me to the beauty industry in an entirely new way.
From Modeling to Beauty.
As I found myself choosing between culinary arts and beauty, the beauty industry felt comfortable and familiar. Entrepreneurship and salon ownership were already part of my family’s background, so stepping into this world felt natural. My experience in modeling eventually led to an opportunity as a Clinique Beauty Advisor—and from there, my career began to flourish.
From Beauty Advisor to Business Leader!
I advanced from Beauty Advisor to Business Manager for Clinique Cosmetics and later Estée Lauder. Over the years, I studied and represented many beauty brands, strengthened my business expertise, and became a top-performing business manager in the Northeast—leading a million-dollar department-store beauty business.
Bilingual & Culturally Curious
I am bilingual in both French and English, and I love traveling, experiencing different cultures, and discovering cuisines from around the world. Meeting new people and learning about their traditions continues to influence the way I see beauty, creativity, and connection.
Bridal Mornings Feel Like Family
One of my favorite parts of a bridal experience is meeting the bride’s family—the mothers, grandmothers, aunties, cousins, and closest friends. I naturally place myself in their world and become part of the family dynamic. By the end of the celebration, it often feels like I’ve gained a new family of my own.
“Beauty may bring us together, but it’s the people, their stories, and the moments we share that stay with me.”
