The Beauty Behind Transcendental Beauty: Meet Guadalupe “Lupe” Mercado

Hey there, gorgeous!

Welcome to Transcendental Beauty, where beauty isn’t just about what you see in the mirror- —it’s about embracing your uniqueness and radiating confidence from the inside out. I’m Guadalupe “Lupe” Mercado, the heart and soul behind this little beauty haven && I’m your soon-to-be beauty bestie. I’m an introverted, quirky, and laid back licensed cosmetologist who is a sucker for a good love story. I’m based out of New Jersey bordering the Delaware Water Gap and the Pocono region of Pennsylvania. I mostly service the Tri-State area but I’m down to travel wherever your love story takes me!

Crafting Beauty with Passion and Purpose

As an introvert who finds joy in the simple pleasures of life—like sipping on a rich espresso or indulging in a perfectly crafted Matcha—I understand the importance of finding moments of peace and beauty in our busy lives.

In my 17+ years in the beauty world, I’ve worn many hats, from retail management to executive salon positions. However, it was my journey into the bridal and special event industry that truly transformed me. Now, I’m on a mission to provide luxury, on-location beauty services for laid-back souls like you who crave a stress-free experience on their special day.

Your Trusted Beauty Companion: Let’s Make Magic Together

At Transcendental Beauty, I strive to create an oasis of relaxation and rejuvenation, where clients can escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life and indulge in a luxury beauty experience. My chair is not just a place for makeup application or hairstyling—it’s a space where you can unwind, learn, and embrace your natural beauty with confidence.

My journey into the beauty world began at a young age, fueled by a passion for creativity and nurtured through childhood crafting. As I matured, this passion seamlessly intertwined with my academic pursuits, blending my artistic talents with my background in Criminal Justice, LGBT Studies and Psychology. This unique fusion allowed me to gain profound insight into the needs and desires of clients, enabling me to empathize and connect with them on a deeper level.

What sets me apart? It’s my attention to detail, my passion for creativity, and my genuine desire to connect with you like we’ve been friends forever. Whether you’re a boho bride dreaming of a whimsical wedding, a graduate ready to conquer the world, or simply someone in need of a little self-care, I’m here to be your beauty confidante, beauty aficionado, and your dedicated partner in glam!
