🎨 Linda Schonning – Award-Winning Hair & Makeup Artist & Educator

Owner of Florida Keys Bridal Team, Linda Schonning is an award-winning celebrity hair and makeup artist with over 45 years of professional experience. ✨

“I have attended workshops in England and became a trained Makeup Artist at the prestigious Westmore Academy in Los Angeles.

Throughout the 1980s and 1990s, I competed in numerous hair competitions and was ranked #1 in Florida. I went on to style celebrities like Gloria Estefan (1992–1999) for videos, magazine covers, and live appearances. My work has been seen on shows such as Burn Notice (with Bruce Campbell), The Sopranos, The Glades, Ballers, and The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel.

Now, I am passionate about teaching the next generation of artists.” 🌟
