Tiffany Mendez
l
"At the end we are all made of little pieces of each person we meet."
Master makeup artist, hairstylist, educator, sugarista. She is the creator-creative and general director of the studio.
​
Thanks to those who trust in her work, she has been able to be part of international events in many departments of Guatemala and countries such as: Spain, the Dominican Republic, the United States and Mexico. ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
​
She considers her working style very natural, elegant, highlighting personality through makeup. Her versatility impresses as she can perform natural bridal makeup to editorial makeup.
​
Inspired by nature, she shows us in her creative work what can be achieved with the least thought of materials.
Having started as a self-taught artist in 2013, this has taught her to be careful with each course she takes, since she knows that the contribution of each artist in her career is important. She has been trained in Colombia, Mexico, England and Guatemala.
​
She studied high school in graphic design, but her career has focused on sales, beauty, and customer service.
​
She started her career in 2013 in the least expected way, modeling.
Being able to model for Vivi Barrios sparked curiosity about makeup.
With the scarcity of academies and little economic opportunity, she decided to start practicing on her own by looking at photographs.
​
In 2014 she decided to stop modeling and dedicate herself full time to being a makeup artist, scared to death every time they asked her "where did you study" she did not know what to answer for fear that they would not trust her talent and effort. She always decided to be honest with herself and always tell the truth: "Hi, I'm Tiffany and I'm a self-taught makeup artist."
​
In 2018 she decided to take her first refresher course with Jessie Harrison in Guatemala City and from that year on she decides to refresh at least once a year.
​
In 2020 she opened her first studio but the following year she moved it inside Amaya Salón where she was for almost 3 years until in 2023 she opened in the center of Antigua.

You probably didn't know this about me:
I got baptized with 3 names and 2 last names ha, ha, ha.
​
I was born in Guatemala City, with no nicknames other than "flaca" or "Tiff."
I consider myself a person with many skills and decisive.
Lover of art, the sea, photography, traveling, dressing up and new experiences; a restless person and that means many changes of looks.​
​
Since 2016, I have walked on the cobblestone streets of Antigua Guatemala, a picturesque, touristy town full of charm. I learned english studying when I was 7 years old and I been practicing since I moved to Antigua.
