Meet your artist!

Maritza Benson 
Founder & CEO

Maritza's path to becoming a licensed artist wasn't typical—it was extraordinary. Fresh out of college, she traded the classroom for the great outdoors, immersing herself in the world of conservation as a park ranger for a remarkable 8 years. Those years weren't just about safeguarding nature; they were a masterclass in leadership and business management, propelling her to the role of Assistant Park Manager and equipping her with invaluable skills for her next adventure.

​Driven by a deep-seated passion for enhancing mental wellness through the transformative power of beauty, Maritza's mission is clear: to empower others with confidence. With her background in color theory and expertise in color-correction, she's not just an artist; she's a virtuoso, crafting personalized beauty solutions that celebrate individuality.​At Monarch Beauty Bar, we're more than a salon; we're a sanctuary for self-discovery and empowerment.
