Meet Barbra Jo

Barbra Jo “BJ” Batterman is a Las Vegas–based makeup artist, hair stylist, and creative entrepreneur whose five-decade career has shaped the faces behind music's biggest nights and some of the nation's most recognizable people.

As founder and CEO of The Batterman Group, she leads a full-service agency of elite makeup artists, hair stylists, and wardrobe stylists for television, film, advertising, and live events. She has served as department head for the Billboard Music Awards, iHeartRadio, and the ACM Awards, among the biggest broadcasts in the business.

Equally known for her own bold, playful style and signature one-of-a-kind eyewear, BJ treats individuality as part of the craft. Beyond the chair, she's a coach and mentor, guiding others toward confidence and reinvention.

“Her life's work has stayed constant: helping others see the beauty, strength, and possibility within themselves.”
