Welcome to the Beauty Lab Podcast, your go-to place for all things beauty, health, and wellness during your drive time. We are your hosts and favorite beauty lovers, Monina and Velia.

Meet Your Hosts

In the first episode of the Beauty Lab Podcast, let us introduce ourselves. I'm Velia Ramson, and alongside me is Monina Wright. We both share a similar background and an immense passion for beauty. I'm a licensed cosmetologist and a professional makeup artist, while Monina is a licensed esthetician. We've been friends and collaborators for over 15 years, contributing our expertise to editorials and articles in the beauty world.

I co-authored a book titled Owning It, and collectively, Monina and I have celebrated over 40 years in the beauty industry. As moms, wives, and business owners, I lead Velia Beauty Co., a haircare line and salon in San Jose, while Monina runs Moderne Beauty and Aesthetics in the Bay Area, offering top-notch skincare and makeup services.

Our Teaching Journey

We're not only passionate about beauty but also about education. Both Monina and I have played roles as educators, sharing our knowledge with budding makeup artists and students in cosmetology. This podcast is our way of reaching and teaching even more people, not confined by geography.

Every week, we'll discuss topics like skincare as we age, essential scalp care, and hair health. We’ll debunk TikTok myths and dive deep into what really works. We’re eager to share DIY recipes for both skincare and haircare, and explore how to evolve your makeup routine over time.

Expect to hear from leaders in health, wellness, and beauty as we bring them on board to share their insights. Plus, we're here to answer your questions and review the products you’re curious about. Have a product you've been wanting to try? Let us know! We're happy to test and review them for you.
