Artist · Founder, Iconic Beauty New York

I'm Samantha, an artist and the founder of Iconic Beauty New York in Patchogue. For seventeen years I've done hair and makeup for brides, on set and in my own chair, and I still feel lucky every time someone trusts me with how they look and feel.

My path took me from fashion week and editorial sets to five years training other artists in bridal and destination weddings, and every bit of it shaped the care I bring to your chair today. Iconic is now home to IBE® hand-tied extensions, lash extensions and bridal hair and makeup, with a team I’m so proud of and a studio designed to feel like quiet luxury: polished, personal and always warm.

My business is rooted in faith. How you feel in my chair matters just as much as what I create, and every bit of this is a gift I don't take lightly.

† God first, always

With gratitude
