What Clients And Team Members Are Saying - Funk It Up

Nicole Knapman – Team Member of 15 years

“Working at Funk It Up Mackay is an absolute joy. A first-time client visit back in 2008 has grown into 15 years as the longest-standing employee - and most importantly, a forever friendship with Corissa. To work alongside people you genuinely care about and growing together is incredibly special.

The work culture is warm, supportive, and full of heart, and our amazing clients make every day even better. Watching familiar faces return, celebrating milestones together, and building genuine relationships makes coming to work feel like so much more than just a job.”

Jo Higgins – Long-Term Makeup Client

“I don’t know what I’d do without Funk It Up. I know I can walk in, sit down, and just breathe. There’s no stress — I know I’m in the best hands.

It never feels rushed or transactional. It’s like hanging out with a friend who just happens to make you look fabulous.

Congratulations on 20 years. It speaks volumes about your talent, your work ethic, and your care.”

Jody Euler  - Director of redhotblue and long time funk-it up fan

Corissa is brilliance. Twenty years ago, she dared to dream big and then made it happen, all with her signature sparkle and pink lips.

A bold vision has grown into an absolute powerhouse; a community that champions confidence and individuality, making people feel their best.

Twenty years in business isn’t luck; it’s unwavering passion and standards that never drop. It’s showing up, brush in hand and making the rest of us look so darn good.”

“I’ve been part of the team for 15 years, creating unique looks for beautiful clients.

What makes Funk It Up special is the teamwork, support, and understanding among the staff. Being surrounded by talented, caring people is something special.”

Whitney Board – Team Member of 10 years

“Working at Funk It Up is like being part of a supportive, welcoming family.

Working on and off between having my five kids, I’ve always been encouraged, valued, and made to feel right at home. The flexibility, understanding, and genuine care make me love coming back.”

Chantel Probyn – Long Term Brow Client

“I first met Corissa from Funk It Up at a bridal expo back in 2013.

I engaged Corissa for my wedding brows; the beginning of a 13-year relationship where I attended brow appointments every two weeks without fail. That kind of loyalty doesn’t just happen because someone’s good at what they do. It’s because of who they are.

Our relationship has grown into genuine friendship, as we shared milestones and celebrated wins with laughter, tears and everything in between. Corissa is a sounding board, a hype woman and a constant supporter.

Of course, she does the best brows. I would not trust anyone else. But what truly sets her apart is her heart.”

Jana Schweitzer – Long-Term Makeup Client

“For more than 15 years, Corissa and her team have been there for my every milestone, with an unmatched ability to make me feel like a supermodel every time I leave the chair.

There is honestly no better feeling than when they spin you around to reveal the finished look. Their professionalism, artistry and welcoming energy make every appointment special.”

Andrea Mitchell – Long-Term Client

Corissa’s guidance and support have impacted me in more ways than I can express.

Funk It Up is a home away from home — a community of strong, supportive women who inspire, encourage and uplift one another every day.”
