About Me

Saida Staudenmaier is a Los Angeles-based professional makeup artist and hairstylist who has been professionally working in the entertainment industry for more than 15 years. With a BFA from the California Institute of the Arts, Saida is a true double threat: She offers a keen eye for marrying color with light, and delivers clients a positive, focused, and drama-free work ethic. This has helped numerous directors and photographers achieve the looks they wanted while making the talent feel completely at ease, creating a positive work environment for everyone involved.

With incredibly varied experience in makeup artistry and a willingness to jump into any situation with a positive attitude while being efficient and always mindful of the job at hand, Saida isn't just a great team player, she's the kind of valuable asset who reduces on-set stress, handles challenges before they become problems, and does it all while delivering amazing work. She is as quick with her tools as she in on her toes.

In addition to her success as a makeup artist, Saida has developed a skill set working on non-profit boards as a webmaster, social media director, fundraising chair, event manager, strategist, and communications specialist. She is a freelance writer, community activist, and advocate as well as a community leader. Her diverse skill set lends itself to creative solutions and strong, dependable leadership.

I have been in the industry since 2000.
