Melina was our NARS Stylist in Alberta, Canada as part of our NARS Artistry Team. In her role, Melina was responsible for educating and developing Sephora Cast members while representing the NARS Brand with focus on customer service, artistry, image and driving the business in her region.

Throughout her time at NARS, Melina´s passion translated into the success of her doors. Her relationships within her region made her an integral part of our team. She has impeccable artistry skills, is well-organized, reliable, outgoing and an excellent communicator.

I would highly recommend Melina, as she would be an asset to any company.
