Meet the Team

One studio, one standard.

Sparkle Shine started as one artist and grew into a studio and an academy. Everyone who works here was trained or mentored by Alisa, so the care you get is the same in every chair.

Owner & Lead Artist

Alisa Sampson

Twenty years in the industry, forty-plus certifications, and still the first one in the studio most mornings. Alisa performs every service on the menu, from lashes and nails to permanent makeup, fibroblast, and scar camouflage, and she teaches every one of them at the Academy.

Licensed nail technician and esthetician, permanent makeup artist, lash and brow educator, and a member of Associated Skin Care Professionals.

The Studio

Artists and apprentices, trained here.

The Sparkle Shine team is made up of artists Alisa has trained herself and apprentices working toward their own licenses. Students learn on practice heads first, then on real clients with Alisa beside them, so you always know who is holding the tools.
