Kay Santana
With nearly a decade of experience in the hair and makeup space, Kayla has always known this work was meant for her. It all started with styling her friends’ hair before the school bus came, doing makeup for prom, any chance to experiment, express, and connect.
She’s a dual artist focused on creating natural, cohesive looks for lifestyle campaigns, brand shoots, and intimate bridal parties. Her approach is all about enhancing beauty while keeping each look intentional and balanced.
Collaboration fuels her. Kayla is quick on set, easy to work with, and always down to tweak a look until it feels right. She has a touch of perfectionism—but she’s working on it.
If she’s not moodboarding her next look, shoot concept, or beauty inspiration, she’s likely thrifting vintage pieces or sipping a chai while catching up on her favorite Substack subscriptions.
Currently based in the Hudson Valley, NY and available for travel. For bookings and collaborations, reach out via Instagram or email
