Kimi Sarchione was born in the rural town of Alliance, Ohio. From a young age, she found a passion for performing arts. She began dancing at the age of three, and, by high school, her performance ability blossomed into acting.

While in high school, Kimi became a member of the Speech and Debate Team. She competed in drama interpretation, making a quick rise as a stand-out student. She won numerous awards, including first place at the state championships.

After graduating with a major in Communications and Theatre Arts and a minor in Radio and Television from Heidelberg University in Tiffin, Ohio, Kimi pursued a career in acting.

Kimi has worked and lived in Los Angeles, New York City and Miami, and she has appeared on several television shows, including Ugly Betty, The Office, Desperate Housewives, and Boston Legal, and been seen in commercials locally, regionally and nationally.

Kimi developed a love for makeup from working in front of the camera, and, upon her return to Charleston, Kimi pursued a behind-the-scenes role as a makeup artist, landing a job as a business manager and artist for a national cosmetic line.

"I like to help women feel better about themselves. I don't just put makeup on them. I teach them how to do it."

What this gave Kimi even more than experience was her appreciation of different kinds and levels of beauty. It is her down to earth demeanor that makes everyone around her feel comfortable and at ease.
