Meet Your Hosts

In our very first episode, we’re excited to introduce ourselves and share a bit about our journey.

I’m Velia Ramson, a licensed cosmetologist and professional makeup artist. Joining me is my dear friend and collaborator of 15+ years, Monina Wright, a licensed esthetician. We’ve been immersed in the beauty industry for over 40 years combined, contributing to editorials, articles, and countless beauty transformations.

When we’re not podcasting, we’re running our own businesses:

I’m the proud owner of Velia Beauty Co., a haircare line and salon in San Jose.

Monina leads Moderne Beauty and Aesthetics in the Bay Area, offering top-notch skincare and makeup services.

We’re not just beauty lovers—we’re moms, wives, and business owners with a deep love for education and empowering others through beauty.

Our Teaching Journey

Education is at the heart of everything we do. Over the years, we’ve shared our expertise with budding makeup artists and cosmetology students, and now, through this podcast, we’re taking our teaching to a whole new level.

No matter where you are, we’re here to help you feel confident and informed.
