Cortanie
Hair & Makeup Artist
Cortanie has been a lover of theater and the arts her whole life. She’s been a performer since her first musical in Junior High right up to performing as a couple face characters at the Walt Disney World Resort parks. She’s been a licensed Cosmetologist for 23 years. She has taught at and owned beauty salons and even a Beauty School. There she specialized in extensions and braiding and her students learned avant guard, wig work and theatrical designs. Through this experience she later worked for Disney Cosmetology, sitting on the other side of that table styling the performers wigs. 2020 changed that game and Cortanie decided to bring her love for all things big and theatrical, character styling and hair extensions to the guests instead, creating Bounding Beauty.
