Makeup & Hair Stylist Stephanie Flor has been sorely missed since she moved back to New York after a brief stint in Los Angeles.

Originally from a small town in Suffolk County New York, Stephanie ventured to LA for school, and a foot in the door at Crystal Agency. 
    In a few short months she amassed an impressive3 array of credits including Emmy and Statement magazines, In-Touch, MTV and Seventeen. The Temptations, Yung Berg, Martin Short, Terry Crews, and Patrick Warburton fill in the celebrity section of her resume.

Stephanie Flor looks forward to the future in collaborating with people with the same mentality to deliver greatness and always beyond expectations. Makeup artistry isn’t a career it’s a way of living.

A Work of Art: Tiffani Rae Styles Maggie Grace for Statement Magazine

We never dreamed that Tiffani Rae’s first big fashion editorial would combine celebrity and clothing in such a stylish and moving presentation.

But that’s exactly what happened when Rose Cefalu the photo editor of Statement magazine put our fashion stylist, Tiffani Rae together with LA based celebrity and fashion photographer Florian Schneider who had this to say about Tiffani's effort on the Maggie Grace shoot, “THANK YOU SO MUCH AGAIN for your brilliant work!!! It has truly been a pleasure having you by my side for this shoot, and I very much hope to get the chance to work with you many times again in the future.
    "It is SO refreshing to get to work with a stylist that understands and respects my ideas and direction (as opposed to just pulling whatever he/she happens to like). And on top of your great talent, you certainly are a pleasure to be around. An excellent combination of great talent and lovely personality indeed!
    So I hope to see you on my sets a lot in the future...” To view more images associated with this article, Click Here

PrivacyWear CEO Carolyn Jones Taps Crystal Agency Styling Talent to Create Award Winning Windows for their Magic Booth in Las Vegas

After 2 weeks of intense work on the Spring and Summer 2008 PrivacyWear Clothing print campaigns, Melinda Tarbell and her top-notch team of styling assistants (Janellica Ohanian, Inga Rochelle, and Tiffani Rae) began prepping for the 2007 Magic Show which they executed less than a week later.
    This assignment included designing, and dressing the massive trade show booth, as well as organizing and MC'ing the in-booth fashion show. Hard work? Yes. Would they do it again? You better believe it.
    36 hours passed before the team called it quits to get some much deserved sleep.
    And while Melinda took off for a much needed vacation after the Magic show, Inga and Janellica took over and redressed the booth at the ASR show in San Diego. Melinda stayed involved by telephone as the team beamed her the pictures of the booth from their camera phones.
