Want the best brows in Los Angeles? Well, Cindy Melendrez is your girl.

Cindy  Melendrez is a professional makeup artist and eyebrow extraordinaire at Giuseppe Franco Salon in Beverly Hills, CA., where she is known for transforming women into Tinseltown beauties.

Cindy Melendrez’s work

A native Angeleno, Cindy Melendrez always had a passion for beauty and high fashion. It wasn’t long before she knew her true calling in life was to share beauty, glitz and glamorous makeup with women (and men) everywhere. By helping women show their most beautiful selves, she felt fulfilled and truly of service.

Cindy has an instinctual panache to highlight a woman’s natural features with the help of makeup and enhancing techniques.

Her job at at Giuseppe Franco salon  is a dream as she had long been a longtime admirer of the Giuseppe Franco salon.

She believes that Giuseppe is a consummate perfectionist with an unparalleled attention to detail. The moment Cindy met Giuseppe and saw the salon expansion (including a new makeup area) she could not resist this opportunity.

Cindy’s makeup style is a mix of timeless, classic glamour and fashion forward elegance and her clients never walk away feeling too done up but instead feel glamorous in their own skin.

All eyes will be on you after a session with Cindy.
