Sekia C Garrett
CEO & Founder
As a little girl, I enjoyed playing dress-up, singing, and attending sophisticated events with my mother, aunts, and grandma. Many times, my Mother and I would share quality time together and give each other massages for relaxation. These memorable moments were captured through camera and were very fun. As a teenager, I had the opportunity to watch my aunt execute her passion as a free-lance make-up artist for proms, weddings, and other special events throughout Chicago. Many times my family captured these memorable moments with the use of cameras and camcorders. Over the course of time, the love of the arts in many forms became my passion and I decided to pursue artistry through mediums of make-up/aesthetics, masseuse services, and audiovisual as an eclectic profession and business.
I am the Owner and Lead Creative Artist of Glamour 1, a full body and artistic creation enhancement agency based in Chicago, Illinois. Passionate and highly gifted, this love of beauty has driven my desire to provide make-up artistry and create technically accurate visual representations, and body contouring for my clients.
Some might add, that my natural beauty and love for art provided many opportunities and exposure has perfected my craft in the fashion and entertainment industry. I have exceptional knowledge of advanced make-up artistry, Body Contouring, and for cosmetic brands. For the past 9 years, I have ensured clients have suitable make-up and hairstyles before they appear in front of the cameras or an audience for occasions as follows:
Photo Shoots
Fashion Shows
Weddings
Pamper Parties
Special Events
Corporate Events
Everyday Enhancement
As a former model, I've attended Empire College of Beauty of Lombard, and Graduated from G Skin & beauty of Chicago (which provided a solid background for hair, aesthetics, and masseuse services); represented as an Independent Consultant for Mary Kay; excelled in numerous conferences, expos, and showcased my love for beauty as a model in Chicago and the State of Illinois.
In addition to leading Glamour 1, I'm involved with the Grammy Award winning choirs, Joshua’s Troop and New Direction where I continue to showcase my love for the Arts and Entertainment.
