Mission Statement
WarPaint International. The Ultimate Symbol of Luxury and Excellence in Hair & Makeup Artistry.
What does the above statement mean? Luxury does not and should not mean expensive. Though for some, that inherently is a by-product of what they have built and offer. For us, it means expectations. It means receiving and reveling in an experience that is memorable and worth the time and money allocated to it. It means feeling safe when our team enters your space. Luxury can be exuded from an Artisan on our team that shows up on time, listens to your needs, and delivers a client-focused experience that leaves you feeling like you got exactly what you expected. That’s a five-star review and that’s what we strive for.
More about beauty…
Sam, alongside his wife, Jessica Mae Koza founded WPI Beauty with the idea that while we’ve built a team of people that deliver hair and makeup artistry on-demand - we also supply an environment and a feeling. We’ve found over the years that delivering beauty services is not only about showing up, putting on lipstick, and styling hair, but further about changing the look, feel, and attitude of that client - at least for that day. Some people have commented how amazing they feel inside, after having work done on the outside of the face.
For some, this is a feeling they seldom have. We want to make sure that feeling is valid and worth their investment into our team and our process, which we’ve worked so hard at.
