I’m Marita Dextre

Hairstylist and makeup artist with more than 30 years of experience.

My story

My story in the world of beauty began more than 30 years ago. Little by little I discovered that this was my passion, and life took me to places and experiences that enriched my work.

  1. Peru

    Where it all began

    My mother owned beauty salons and, almost as a game, I began to get close to the craft. I decided to study and train, because I had found my true calling.

  2. Japan

    Another language, another culture

    Working in another country was a big challenge and also a wonderful experience that helped me grow, learn and value my work even more.

  3. California

    Still growing

    I kept doing what I love: working with my hands and helping every woman feel more beautiful, confident and special.

  4. Florida

    Since 2022

    I arrived wanting to start over. Nobody knew my background, so I started from scratch, and soon after I opened my own studio.

  • A girl in profile with a half-up style, a thin braid and long curls.
  • A smiling little girl with short hair and pink bows.
  • Marita’s hands finishing a girl’s hairstyle: a braid with a flower pin and long curls.

It’s never too late to start again or to do what we love.

Going back to work at this stage of my life means feeling useful, active and alive.
