Meet The Owner

I'm Alma Mirela, the founder of Rival Studios & Rival Esthetics LLC, (formerly known as Rival Beauty).

Thank you for taking the time to learn a bit about me! Iā€™m a Bosnian native from Grand Rapids, and I hold licenses in esthetics and tattoo artistry! Specializing in lash extensions, cosmetic tattooing, brow artistry, waxing & also offer education & training with extensive experience! I've always been passionate about the beauty industry and driven to create. Immediately after completing my education, I opened Rival Beauty and embarked on my career as a solo esthetician & furthered my education to become a cosmetic tattoo artist. My primary mission has always been to create an atmosphere where clients can relax and leave feeling confident. After two years, I expanded by founding Rival Studios, a space designed to elevate the creativity and individuality of every artist we bring on board.
