—  About —

Janah is a LOS ANGELES-based
ProFESSIONAL Makeup Artist.

Janah’s interest in the application of makeup began in 2014 when she started collecting lipstick and blush. By the end of that year she accumulated an earnest collection of makeup and found herself immersed and in awe of the art of beauty. By 2015, Janah moved to LA where she spent 4 years proactively studying the industry of Makeup (Fashion, Runway, Editorial, Bridal, On-Set) & even Special Effects Makeup Artistry by way of experience. Along the way, she also discovered new interest in Photography and registered at Michael Vincent Academy in Downtown Los Angeles to learn Hairstyling & Photoshop. In this initial experience, she learned how to create & edit beauty portraits. By the next year, Janah would enroll at Pierce College and enroll in Photography 101 to learn the mechanics of the camera and the history of photography.

Janah moved back home to the Bay Area in 2019 where she worked as a full-time Certified Ophthalmic Assistant for a beloved Ophthalmology office in San Francisco for about two years before she would quit so that she could enroll full time at the San Francisco Institute of Esthetics and Cosmetology. She wanted to fulfill her dream of being a Licensed Professional. Now presently as of September 2024, Janah is back in Los Angeles and is a Licensed Cosmetologist assisting the talented stylists of the premier West Hollywood salon, Nine Zero One.

Janah is ready and available to book your hair and makeup styling needs whether it’s for weddings, photoshoots, special occasions, or on-set, etc. Janah is curious at heart, loves hiking outdoors, reading, listening to audiobooks or podcasts and spending time with her family: her husband Sean & their 7 year old dog, Nala.
