Our story

My name is Malsore Hoxha-Spahija and I’m the hands and heart behind Artistry by Colja. I am based in Oak Grove, Oregon but I travel for you. I am ethnically Albanian from Kosovo - roots that I carry every where I go. I’m a wife, a mother, and someone who believes that when we look good, we feel powerful, not because of vanity, but because beauty reminds us of who we are.

With over eight years in the beauty industry, beginning my career with Clinique and Estee Lauder, I've spent the last four years dedicated to independent bridal artistry, specializing in elevated, timeless glam. I came into this industry wanting to give women more than a service. I wanted to create an experience; one that feels calm, intentional, and elevated.

I’ve poured myself into perfecting the balance between luxury and comfort, where every detail matters, and every client feels like the most beautiful version of themselves.

When I’m not behind the chair, I’m usually dancing in the kitchen with my husband, laughing and pretend-playing with my son, or finding beauty in the simple, ordinary moments that fill our home. Those moments are what remind me that true beauty isn’t just created - it’s felt.

And that feeling is what I aim to bring to every client I touch.
