Iris Olimpia is a Dallas–Fort Worth–based hair and makeup artist who has spent more than 17 years working in commercial, advertising, print, and editorial beauty.

Her approach has always been personal. She loves beautiful skin, effortless hair, and creating looks that still feel like the person sitting in her chair. Iris works with all skin tones and hair textures and is just as comfortable creating fresh, natural beauty as she is preparing talent for a full-scale campaign.

Over the years, Iris has worked with brands including Nike, Ulta Beauty, Walgreens, CVS, Kohl’s, Burt’s Bees, Lululemon, Whirlpool, The Home Depot and McDonald’s. Her work has appeared in TIME, Vogue and Seventeen, and her celebrity clients include Candace Parker, Rosario Dawson, Saniyya Sidney, Jesse James Decker and Demi Singleton.

After building her career in Chicago, Iris now calls the Dallas–Fort Worth area home. Distinct Artists represents her and is available for projects in DFW, Chicago, and wherever the work takes her.

Beyond beauty, Iris brings her love of storytelling, branding, and community to her nonprofit work with the Chicago Winds, a professional women’s tackle football team. As Director of Brand and Marketing, she helps shape the organization’s voice and bring greater visibility to women in tackle football.

Iris loves traveling, creating, and finding new ways to champion women. She lives with her wife, Amanda, and their dog, Cash—who is fully convinced the house belongs to him.
