about olena

Back home in Kyiv, Ukraine, I worked as a session stylist with celebrities, singers, and models for many years, and my work was regularly published in professional magazines. Camera-ready hair and makeup is second nature to me, and I love bringing this level of elite service to my everyday clients.

A huge part of my life and true passion is bridal work. Because weddings happen every day of the week in Ukraine, I routinely prepped five to six brides a week. This intensive experience taught me how to create flawless, photo-ready makeup and hair that lasts all day and into the night - staying perfectly intact and looking fresh through all the hugs, tears, and dancing.

In 2014, my country went through very difficult times, which led to my move to the United States. Grand Rapids has been my beloved home for nine years now, and I absolutely love being part of this community and building my career here from the ground up. I never stop growing; I constantly attend advanced training sessions and masterclasses to bring the freshest global trends directly to Grand Rapids. I look forward to welcoming you to Farba Beauty!
