Eight years ago, founder Klaudia Donovan started from nothing but a portfolio and the drive to build something better for her family. She reached out to strangers, worked out of borrowed spaces, and put artistry first — long before there was a name for what she was building.
That same instinct still drives the business today: strong artistry, recognizable branding, and an unwavering belief that glam is worth doing properly. There's no storefront to point to — the atelier is us, the team, wherever your event happens to be.
Glam Atelier may have started as one artist — but it isn't anymore. Today it's a full team of licensed, experienced hair stylists and makeup artists who bring the same filter-inspired, statement-making glam to every booking, whether Klaudia is in the room or not.
We prioritize referral bookings — from past clients and the vendors we work alongside — but anyone is welcome to inquire. Every relationship starts with a vision call, so we can make sure we're aligned before your date is locked in.
