My Story

Dagotee Shi Kitty gonzee. Greetings, My name is Kitty, I come from the San Carlos Apache and White Mountain Apache tribes in Arizona. I am the proud owner of Bizhaan Beauty located in Mesa, AZ.

My makeup journey started back in 2017 when I started my YouTube channel "WhatWouldKittyDo". I started doing looks with drugstore makeup showing my audience you don't have to spend an arm and leg for good quality cosmetics. Then, I started to see Indigenous owned cosmetic businesses pop up on social media which I had to support. I even had the pleasure of working with a few. At that time, there was no representation in the makeup world from my own people. I decided to take a leap of faith and start my own brand inspired by my Indigenous upbringing and the rich Arizona Culture. With the help of one of my loyal viewers, I was able to come up with the name, Bizhaan Beauty.

In Apache, the elders' definition of "Bizhaan" is a young bachelorette. Over time, the term "Bizhaan" has transitioned into "girly girl" or someone who takes pride in their appearance utilizing self care methods. Personally, I like the second definition better as I always try to set time aside for self care.

Here at Bizhaan Beauty we believe everyone deserves to look and feel better & that it's okay to pamper yourself. Feel Beautiful, Be Different, & Allow Yourself to Be BIZHAAN.
