My Mission

Meet Selena Polgardy known as “Glam By Selena", a remarkable makeup and paramedical tattoo artist who is not only talented in the art of cosmetics but also possesses a heart of gold. Selena's journey begins with overcoming personal struggles. She is a fearless advocate challenging bullies, fighting against eating disorders, saving pets, raising awareness on skin cancer, domestic violence, and promoting body positivity after battling an extremely bad eating disorder(s) that led her down a dark path trying to hold up to society's “standards”.  

However, Selena's resilience and unwavering determination transformed her trauma into a catalyst for change. 

Today, she passionately gives back to the community by selflessly donating her exceptional skills and services to those in need, offering and gifting her services to People & Pets who have been through traumatic experiences and medical conditions. 

Selena's program strives to empower and uplift those who have faced hardships. Through her program, Selena helps survivors reclaim their bodies, covering scars (both body and mind) and reminding them of their resilience and strength. 

Her makeup artistry is equally impactful, providing individuals with a renewed sense of confidence and self-esteem. Selena understands firsthand the transformative power of these seemingly small gestures, and she pours her heart and soul into every stroke of her brush and machines.

By utilizing her own experiences, Selena fosters an environment of support, empathy, and understanding. She serves not only as an exceptional artist but also, offering solace and guidance to those who may still be navigating their own healing processes. As an eating disorder survivor, Selena passionately advocates for body dysmorphia awareness and emphasizes the significance of a positive body image in today's society. Selena's journey serves as a testament to the healing magic of art and self-expression, and she strives to use her platform to advocate for pet rescue, mental health, and raise awareness about the prevalence of eating disorders, domestic abuse, bullies, and the power of a positive mindset. 

Selena's dedication to her craft and her unwavering commitment to helping others has made her a true beacon of hope and inspiration. Her program is a testament to the remarkable capacity of individuals to rise above adversity and use their talents to foster positive change. In honoring her own journey, Selena continues to exemplify compassion, resilience, fearlessness, and the extraordinary ability of art to heal wounds both seen and unseen.

Through her nonprofit organization “Giving Their Glam Back”, Selena reaches those who otherwise would not have access to help due to cost constraints or other challenges. Selena’s commitment to serving through her art is admirable, tackling a niche that very few are trained and adept in. Through her nonprofit, she is making a genuine difference in the lives of those she serves, inspiring hope, and helping them transition back into their day-to-day lives with a more positive outlook. 

With your support, Selena aims to provide Gifted services including, Paramedical Services, Human Hair Grade Wigs, GLAM Classes, and GLAM Care Packages to People & Pets in need, including women, men, and children.

 “My goal is to provide, inspire, and help those afflicted experience their best lives. I am excited to use my work as a makeup and paramedical artist to help the broader community. We hope you can join us in our sole mission of building remarkable human lives through empowerment, transition, and service".  

“You Are Bigger Than Your Battle Wounds.”
