There are perks to visiting an independently operated spa.

Hey! I thought it was time to reintroduce myself to you all. My name is Melissa and I’ve been in the beauty world as long as I can remember. Makeup sparked my interest when I was 17, and I’ve been moving forward ever since. I started creating my brand when I moved to Medicine Hat 18 years ago. I’m certified in makeup artistry which is my first love. Along with that I offer certified services in manicures, pedicures, advanced pedicures, gel nails, hair removal, lash lifting an...d extensions, lash and brow tinting, threading, and massage therapy in several modalities. I also have extensive knowledge in skin health. Along the way I’ve had some great experiences. My makeup artistry has been showcased in several publications, I’ve worked in tv, been backstage at NYFW, been involved in numerous fashion shows, and you will find me quite happy lending my hand with the Medicine Hat Musical Theatre group. I have also been a makeup artist/demo for PUR mineral cosmetics, worked with Lancôme, and represented Avon, Artistry Cosmetics and and Younique. I’ve had the pleasure of working in a prestige spa and instilling my knowledge and mentoring at ONE Beauty Academy. I now invite you to come see me at my studio where I can pamper you with one of my long list of services. See more

Wake up and go for this busy mom. No need for mascara #lashlift #lashtint #lashliftandtint #lashartist #medicinehat #yxh

Pedicure action today. Same foot...same bottle of polish...3 different looks

What’s that you say? Hotstones can be added on to your relaxation massage?! Yes!!!! #relaxation #relaxationmassage #youtime #sweetdreams

I am absolutely loving my #sugarlashpro silicone tools! Sure makes lifting so much easier!! #lashes #lashlift #lashartist #lashlove #medicinehat #yxh @sugarlashpro

Playing with body sugar today! I was surprised at how much less it hurt and how quick the clean up was. Sugar is a great option for those ladies who can use hot wax. It’s also a super great option for Brazilian hair removal or under arms

Man! I totally forgot to take befores until I had the shields on!!! Oh well, next time. Did you know lash lift and tint services aren’t just for the ladies? #mensgrooming #lashlift #lashliftandtint #betterpicsnexttime

My favourite so far!

Some lash and brow love for my client this morning! #lashes #lashlift #lashliftandtint #lashlove #browshaping #browtinting #browtransformation

Now this is a transformation! Look at the difference on just her right eye alone! #lashlove #lashlift #lashliftandtint #lashgoals #lashes#sugarlashpro #mua #yxhmua #medicinehat #medicinehatmakeupartist @sugarlashpro

Linda came in today for a new lift. She was one of my first models. We did a lash lift and tint, plus tamed and tinted them brows #lashes #lashlift #lashtint #lashesonfleek #brows #browtinting #yxh #yxhmakeupartist #makeupartist #mua #melissamackaymakeupartist #sugarlashpro

We are extremely ticklish under our feet and there’s a good reason for it. Humans have nearly 8000 nerves in their feet and a large number of nerve endings near... the skin. Having ticklish feet is actually a good sign meaning your nerves are all intact! #northamericanschoolofpodology #instagood #podology #podologia #podiatry #podiatrist #podiatrylife #health #healthy #healthcare #healthylifestyle #feet #footcare

My daughter asked for rainbow nails, she got rainbow nails. Did you know I offer nail services as well as makeup?! #rainbows #gelpolish #manicure #aesthetics #yxh

Received this beauty in the mail yesterday. To celebrate I’m offering FREE upgrades on services!! Get a free tint with your lash lift or free paraffin wax or gel polish upgrade with manicures or pedicures. I’m offering bookings into the fall. Perfect time to get ready for back to school/work

Look who one of the new faces of L’Oréal is! So exciting for our little city and Canada. Wearing her iconic red!

I am officially on holidays. I will be back at it August 17

Beauty of a pedi done today. This poor girl was too the point of cutting off her own calluses . Don’t do that! Come see me!!!

Look at those beautiful peepers!! I’m now offering lash lifting in the studio. Add on a free lash tint with your lift for a limited time. #lashes #lashlift #lashliftandtint #sugarlashpro

I think it was just a matter of time.

Temperature and solar changing gel polish for this pedicure today

Giving some lash love Thanks to everyone who has been a model for me

I had the pleasure of doing this beautiful brides makeup this past weekend.

New pricing and services on my menu. Covid info.....I will be greeting you in the proper PPE for the service you are having. Clients are requested to bring their own face masks. For those wondering, my salon uses PreEmpt disinfectant, an industry must. If you are feeling unwell, we will reschedule your appointment for a more suitable time. As my space is small, I’m requesting that only you show up for your appointment, unless client is under 18 and requires an adult to accompany them. No walk in service available, all appointments must be booked ahead of time.

My very favorite Medicine Hat Musical Theatre actress and friend Shelby came to see me today to get glammed up for her brother’s wedding. Love the corals on this stunner. #mua #makeupartist #yxhmakeupartist #motd #summermakeup #weddingday #peachesandcream

Beautiful lash lifting going on #mua #makeupartist #yxhmakeupartist #medicinehatmakeupartist #lashlifting #lashlove

Ready for my day of makeup application!

I am loving the cake liner idea! Goes on like a liquid, sets like a gel. For this look I used @makeupforever matte black eyeshadow mixed with Aqua seal on a stainless steel palette. #makeupartist #mua #bridalmakeup #wingedliner #makeupforeverofficial #makeupforeverca #melissamackaymakeupartist

Hip hip hooray!! I just have a few things to get in order before I open my doors, but I can start taking appointments!!
