Our Team

Hi there, my name is Grace. A little about me: Going new places and meeting new friends bring me so much joy! Following high school I graduated from the Tennessee School of Beauty with a license in cosmetology. However, I didn’t stop there. My weekends were spent attending War Paint Academy where I received an advanced license in makeup artistry.

During much of the time that I was in the salon I knew that I wanted more but didn’t know what that looked like. I soon started talking with Josie and we began dreaming of Effortless Beauty.

Hi friends, I’m Josie! I am a licensed cosmetologist and hair enthusiast! I find great joy in helping people look and feel better than they could have dreamed on their biggest days. I love people, I love my family, and I love making memories.

My friends say that I am loyal to a fault and that I am a good listener. I appreciate the diversity in people and am passionate about making sure your hair is exactly what YOU envisioned. Can’t wait to meet you and help contribute to a wildly fun and successful wedding day!

My name is Kate and I’m a makeup artist for Effortless Beauty Co. I’ve been with Effortless since January of 2020 but have been a makeup artist for well over 20 years. Originally from NY, but have lived in Georgia, Mississippi, Oklahoma. My husband, 2 of our 3 daughters and I, moved to Knoxville in August of 2020 and absolutely LOVE it here! Makeup is a passion that not only allows my creativity to flow, but also feeds my soul by meeting wonderful people and making them feel beautiful. While 2020 was a complicated year, I feel truly blessed that I spent it working at Effortless. Looking forward to a busy 2022 & meeting more amazing people!

Hi friends! My name is Kristen, born and raised Texas girl here! A licensed cosmetologist with a passion for hair & makeup services, specializing in Bohemian hairstyles and braids. Long story short, I have only flown to two other states outside of Texas and it was Tennessee that stole my heart. So, I made the decision to move here and take on a new life journey! Ever since I was a little girl, I have always dreamt of making women feel more beautiful on their big wedding day! So excited to be part of the Effortless Beauty team and make some magic happen!

Hi! My name is Rylee Halliburton. I’ve always loved cosmetology, my mom is a hairdresser and I’ve looked up to her my entire life. I graduated from the Knoxville Aveda Institute in 2019 and went on to become hair tied extension certified. I love all things wedding related, including hair and makeup, and would love to work with you!
