My biggest joy comes from showing people how beautiful they truly are; how I and the rest of the world see them in how amazing they can be. Being part of a team that helps people see that for themselves and pursue a career that encompasses that makes this job worth more than anything and gives me fulfillment and pride in what I do every day I come to work at Studio-1.

Travon is a licensed, board certified cosmetologist who is a Louisiana native. Who now resides in Dallas, TX. At an early age, Travon always had creative ideas but wasn’t quite sure how to transform those ideas into the form of art. He was very passionate about beauty. “What better way to express yourself?” he thought. Hair and makeup was a sure way to be able to display his creativity. While residing in Louisiana, he was given the opportunity to work on the set of “Queen Sugar” and “Queen of the South.” Working on the set of these shows led him to an opportunity to become a lead hair and makeup artist for many fashion shows, even allowing him in some cases to be a judge. Travon is a beauty professional with a beautiful spirit who enjoys enhancing the natural beauty of each client that he is able to work with. He takes pride and pleasure in the work he produces. Enhancing NATURAL beauty is a must.” If you are not comfortable in your own skin, then you are not comfortable.”

Born in Vienna Austria. I am recognized as a versatile model and artist. As a young child I began my career as a ballerina and violinist. I studied singing/dancing/acting and simultaneously dedicated time to becoming a professional hair and make up artist. By the age of 20 I graduated with a degree in Arts in Dance and Theater at the Vienna Conservatory – Vienna, Austria. I began working in front of the stage as a performer, and behind the scenes as a hair and make up artist. My passion as a performer led me to begin modeling for commercials, magazines and fashion shows. After moving to the US, I knew that there was more to what I wanted to do and trained in high end medical aesthetic facilities and clinics, I explored and became certified as a medical aesthetic injector/ laser technician and medical assistant. I still maintain my certification and am known as Aesthetic Skincare Virtuosin. While doing hair and make up for Dallas Fashion week, I was scouted as a model to run for one of the designers and appeared in the show! It was very exhilarating to be back on the runway and this prompted me back to my roots as a model. Fortunately I was signed with an agent right away. I love people and it excites me to meet new personalities. The reason I enjoy being a model and being a hair and make up artist is to see the process and transition. It’s like becoming a new character, creating a new identity each time and bringing out the best features with each individual. With that said: fashion is a statement of freedom; I’m flaming and fire moving forward in this industry. My goal is to inspire and encourage many. No matter what happens in life, sharing love, kindness and respect is the most important essence. Embracing the inner beauty. My motto is “Keep on shining.”
