The Beginning
July Sol is the culmination of two Makeup Artists with over 30 years combined experience chatting, dreaming and plotting over countless glasses of champagne. Forming an instant friendship when they met during a Milan Fashion Week, Nicole & Marisol were always interested in sharing their knowledge and skills gained from working in the fashion and beauty industries. Many fashion seasons later, over yet another glass of bubbly (maybe several), July Sol was born. Like magic, the timing was right!
The Name
Easy: Nicole’s middle name is July and Sol borrows from Marisol. Together, July Sol evokes the relaxed optimism they share with the sunny month.
The Mission
Synergistic: to bring a fun, insiders’ perspective to everyday people wanting to make Simple, Balanced Choices for their beauty and lifestyle decisions. Expanding beauty definitions to be more reflective of our diverse world, July Sol has the unique ability to lift the curtain on techniques, products, and options, accessible whether you live near a local drugstore or a national beauty emporium.
The Method
Dynamic: with a multi-media, multi-faceted strategy including customized education, services and healthy products, July Sol boosts their clients’ sense of empowerment, and encourages doing good while looking & feeling great!
