Nestled on East 4th Street in downtown Rochester, Mijo-a’ Beauty Studio occupies a cozy 700 sq. ft. space that houses one of Michigan’s well-known hair and makeup artists, Gjysta Nuculaj.
Nuculaj and her expert team collaborate to bring you the finest hair, makeup, body and – its specialty – bridal treatments found only in the nation’s most high-end salons. Featuring three cutting stations, a coloring suite, a retail makeup boutique, and one exquisite treatment room, you may choose from dozens of services, including makeup application, haircut and style, dimensional hair color, brow waxing and arching, European facials and the most stunning bridal looks found anywhere in the Midwest.
“We will provide the ultimate one-on-one experience for our clients,” says Owner Gjysta Nuculaj. “Our professionally trained and carefully selected staff uses traditional, yet innovative techniques while providing the utmost in service.”
Nuculaj, known in the industry as the “blush queen,” has developed her own cosmetics line under her salon name. Her insatiable quest to find the perfect shade of blush, lip, and eye color turned into an obsession with creating a perfectly harmonious cosmetics line. She now blends her own pigments, colors and uses only the finest, not to mention fewest, ingredients available anywhere.
Come to the studio to have custom-blended cosmetics created specifically for your skin tone. Or choose from dozens of ready-to-wear cosmetics featuring Mijo-a’s most popular shades.
Nuculaj has painstakingly made certain her products will blend seamlessly with hers and other brands. She’s even created a delicate skincare line that provides the most optimal surface for makeup application. Mijo-a’ Beauty Studio cosmetics are available at the studio and online.
“We are passionate about our products and services and work to help each guest discover her most beautiful, healthy and radiant self,” explains Nuculaj. “Clients can always look forward to new products.”
Family owned and operated since 2007, Nuculaj’s Mijo-a’ Beauty Studio has served distinguished celebrities, models and politicians, including an award-winning makeup application for former First Lady Laura Bush. Nuculaj began her career in 1996 and quickly became the go-to person for Michigan’s top photographers and agencies for local and national advertising campaigns, editorial photo shoots and runway shows. She received numerous accolades; including landing a top-three spot for Michigan Hairdresser of the Year.
“Our clients trust us to make hair and makeup look perfect and for our service to be consistent, and reliable,” says Nuculaj. “We enjoy working as a team and the camaraderie involved any project, large or small.”
