My name is Dewayne Richards. I have found the trick to the aesthetics of hair and makeup and know that visions are in the eye of the beholder.These tricks can be splashed upon the canvases of the everyday to give brilliant light and color to the unreached places, the neglected places, to bring beauty back to life. For me, beauty and style are not superficial endeavors. For me, they are a chance to touch the “light” within, the one thing that I believe that is in each one of us. I am about excellence, larger than life, and putting 100% into everything I commit to.

It started at a Super Bowl Sunday party in early 2010. My life-long friend said “Dewayne! I need you to do my makeup!” “Ok?,” with all the hesitation of a newbie, I agreed. In the women's bathroom of a nightclub, I “Beat” my first face. The before and after transformation of this one woman, who was the hosting the party for her sister became the talk of the party.  Leaving the woman of the hour insisting that she was going to “Wash her makeup Off and Let me give her a new look. The passion was born.

Since then, my work has been featured in the Tennessean newspaper, Ambassador Magazine (A Goodwill Industries of Tennessee Publication), Queen Magazine, BlackSouthernBelle.com  and Nashville Arts Magazine. I have also been fortunate to work the Stellar Awards Show twice, Black Music Honors Award Show, and a number of different live and recorded productions with clients as far as Denver, Las Vegas, Atlanta, Washington, D.C, and Jamaica.

Makeup & hair styling can go one of two ways: you can either hide or you can reveal. I am passionate about the big reveal. My job as a stylist and Makeup Artist – whether the canvas is skin or hair – is to help my clients see the grandest vision of themselves and reveal something that was previously hidden. I want my clients to see the beauty I see in them, so I do not stop until that light is revealed.
