Tracy Snyder
Tracy was was born and raised in Los Angeles. She has always loved making people beautiful. As a teenager, all her friends and family asked Tracy to help them with their brows and makeup.

After college in Eureka, Tracy earned her Aesthetician license and graduated from the renowned makeup artist academy, M.U.D (MakeUp Designory). Tracy spent the next few years doing regular and special effects makeup for print, tv, music videos and film.

Tracy was recruited to open the first Benefit Cosmetics Boutique in Santa Monica. After a wonderful two years at Benefit, Tracy decided to start a beauty business of her own which would allow her to provide even more personalized service to her clients and friends.

With her friend Cristina Schmidt, Tracy opened XO Studio in Westwood in May 2009. At XO, Tracy employs her passion for beauty and her artistic skills to make you look and feel your very best. Tracy looks forward to helping you exceed your makeup and beauty goals.

Tracy was recently featured on BellaTV demonstrating lash tinting.

Cristina Schmidt
My passion has been skin care since my early teenage years.  I grew up in northern California and attended aesthetician school in Sacramento. I began my professional career in Los Angeles in 2004.  Since that time I have gained experience ranging from Spa’s, Medical Spa’s to working with a Dermatologist.

In 2007 I helped open Benefit Boutique, a waxing salon in Santa Monica and was hired as the aesthetician/trainer. I am so proud to now have my own business where I can continue to carry out all my creative ideas in this amazing line of work. My specialties are full body waxing including Brazilian style, facials, eyebrow arching, lash and brow tinting and make up.

I am pleased to be in Westwood working with Tracy Snyder where we can continue to carry out our passion in aesthetics.
