Heather Butterwegge

I DID IT!!! I officially graduated from cosmetology school and I couldn’t be more proud of myself! It has been an absolute rollercoaster the past 11 months, but I stuck it out and finally got it done. . After years of being in the beauty industry, and going to makeup school in 2015, I realized that I truly owed it to myself to be fully licensed so I can push myself to my full potential. . Although I didn’t have all the loved ones there that I had hoped, I realized that day how much I DID have. This group of girls who showed up WITH and FOR me every single day. You all made me feel so special, so deserving and so loved. To ALL of my bbs and Neihule family, THANK YOU! You gave me the strength, love, commitment and pushes that I needed to be successful this past year. You never made me feel anything but loved and supported and I feel TRULY blessed to have gotten to know each and everyone one of you and I look forward to celebrating ALL of the graduations to come. . To my teachers- Ash, Philip, Rachel, Jess, Gabby, Katie, Danielle - as a teacher myself, I know the toll it can take on your mind, spirit and body to be in education. The road is often lonely, sometimes annoying (sorry), and almost always thankless. But I truly could not be more in love with the people that you are and the guidance you gave me. How lucky we have all been to have you as our educators. I see you, I love you and I will always be grateful for the mentorship you gave. . Onto the next! . . . #Cosmetology #LosAngelesCosmetologist #CosmetologyGraduate #Hairstylist #MakeupArtist

A little glimpse at April 🖤 . . . #MakeupArtist #Hairstylist #LosAngeles #HairAndMakeupLA

Heads up on my April calendar! . Right now my dedicated salon days are Friday/Saturday because I still leave days open for assisting and set work, but MOST weeks I can sneak in appointments outside of those days if you can’t make it on the weekends! Always feel free to ask and I’ll try to make it happen! . I’ll also be OOO for a week mid April to meet the new Baby B and see my niece become a BIG SISTER 🥹 . DM or text me directly OR call the salon to book! . . . #Hairstylist #MakeupArtist #LosAngeles #LosAngelesHairStylist

Oscars weekend is always an exciting and busy one in LA! This year I was able to work out of @theeditca at the Sofitel for hair & makeup services and it was a beautiful space to set up and serve looks for my clients! . Preparation, space and light are key to executing a flawless glam and I am so happy to have had the space to do it in! . . #Oscars2026 #HairAndMakeup #LosAngelesHairAndMakeup #OscarsGlam

Pacifica Beauty Unboxing. This is a long video, but it meant so much to me that apparently I couldn’t edit myself. AND you’ll get to see 2016 Heather be awkward and cute 🖤🩵 . Thank you so much @pacificabeautypro and @patricksantaanastudio_agency . . . #MakeupArtist #LosAngeles #PacificaBeauty #PacificaMuse
