Alyssa Kostenko
FOUNDER, MASTER ARTIST & EDUCATOR
Alyssa the owner of Elite Cosmetics has always had a passion for all things beauty. From the early age of 10, she was fascinated with the beauty community. After high school she moved to New York City where she attended Makeup Designory, completing the Master’s Program. While living in New York she grew an attachment with lashes. She came back to Connecticut to become licensed as an Esthetician and Eyelash Technician.
At only 21 years old Alyssa decided to quit her job to take the leap and open her own beauty salon. Within 2 weeks she had successfully opened a location in Woodbury, CT. Elite Cosmetics became so much bigger than she ever intended.
With how fast things were blossoming Alyssa had decided it was time to create a safe space for others artists. She became an educator to help other artists get a better education.
She is beyond excited to see what Elite Cosmetics becomes in the future!
