WELCOME TO BEAUTY AND THE TEA 

Hi Beautea Bestea, I’m Marlee, proud mother, founder and educator behind Beauty and the Tea. Thank you for taking the time to visit; whether you’re here to book a service, learn, or simply explore, your presence truly means more than you know.

 

WHATS THE TEA ?

​My beauty education began in 2013, when I attended cosmetology school, but my true passion took shape after attending esthetician school in 2017. A year later, Beauty and the Tea was born; not just as a business, but as a reflection of my values: intention, education, and care.

​​

I grew up in The Bronx, where hustle isn’t a choice, it’s a lifestyle. Raised by two entrepreneurial parents and as the oldest of five girls, I learned early what it means to lead, work hard, and set an example. That foundation shaped everything I do today.

​

The name Beauty and the Tea was created from my desire to create an environment where my clients feel comfortable, confident and beau-tea-ful with their favorite beautea bestea. Our sessions aren’t rushed appointments; they’re intentional conversations, moments of release, and sometimes even therapy. This is a space where I give beauty and we spill the tea judge-free.

​

And tea doesn’t always mean gossip. For me, tea is testimony. It’s life stories, lessons learned, healing in progress, and growth unfolding in real time.
