Samy Figaredo
I'm Samy, a New York City-based hair and makeup artist and professional actor of 10+ years. I'm a graduate of The Makeup Academy NYC's Master Makeup Artistry program, trained in airbrushing and hairstyling. Prior to that, I’d acquired over a decade’s worth of experience primarily in drag and theatrical hair/makeup. My work has taken me from designing looks for Off-Broadway productions and Fashion Week runways to the one-on-one clients for a portrait or special occasion. While I gravitate towards bold, character-driven looks, I’m a rigorously trained artist who loves the entire spectrum: from "no-makeup" makeup and soft glam to elegant bridal beauty. I've also made it a mission to focus on mature skin, textured hair, and the whole spectrum of melanated skin tones. I don't believe makeup exists to "fix" us. Just like clothing, accessories, and even mannerisms, hair and makeup are a vocabulary for us to express our personalities. I can't wait to help you express yours.
