Welcome To
my world!


I grew up obsessed with unicorns. Still pretty sure they’re real. I married my soulmate in 2015. I would have a wedding again in a heartbeat if I knew all my friends would show up. So now I get to be a part of yours for a living! How lucky am I?

I grew up in Littleton, Colorado, but called NYC home for nearly 10 years. I love playing with hair and makeup, hearing your love story, and hanging out with your favorite people (other then your fiance)!

Hi! I'm Chaundra! Makeup & hair artist + educator, bringing you beauty, health, inspiration & quirk. I am a wife & momma. I am a dedicated, adventurous & enthusiastic optimist. I am a lover of people & their stories, family dance partaaays, sunshine, cooking, singing, personal growth & fitness. I constantly have to keep my overuse of exclamation points in check!!! ( I only used 3 in this whole paragraph! Now 4…)

My mom always said “Be the best Chaundra, you can be.” That’s all anyone can strive for really, to be the best version of themselves. This means something different for everyone, which is why I want to create a space to empower women - how can we save you time and make you better? Feeling beautiful is an amazing confidence booster! That’s where my expertise comes in, but it’s not the only piece. Which is why I’ve curated a team of experts who also strive to help women live their best lives!

I began my career as a kid who loved theater and playing dress up. In middle school I learned to braid and became the "go to" stylist for all the school dances. I attended the University of Northern Colorado for Musical Theatre and moved to NYC to pursue my acting career.

My goal is for you to have the best day of your life. I want to help start out your day in the best way possible!

Needing a "survival job", makeup & hair was an obvious go to, which soon became my passion and career. While in NYC I worked for MAC Cosmetics, NARS cosmetics, and freelanced for GLAMSQUAD, personal clients, brides, film, tv, print and theatre. I married my soulmate, Joey, in 2015, and we moved back to Colorado in 2018 to raise our daughter and GLAM5280 was born! We now live in Thornton, CO and have two enthusiastic children, Waverly & Lola.

Over the last 20 years, my team & I have done over 1,000+ weddings. I select only the very best artists and stylists so you can be sure you're getting the best talent and the best personalities. It's like having a BFF who just happens to be a beauty expert! If you're going to spend the day with someone, we want you to like who you're spending it with.

We aren't the star of the show. You are!
