My journey in the beauty industry started as a little girl with a love for fashion and accessories. Fueled by a passion, I found enchantment in the world of beauty, captivated by the transformative power of the allure of various adornments and outfits. What began as a youthful fascination evolved into a lifelong journey, guiding me into the intricate realms of beauty, self-expression, and the artistry that unfolds when one's love for aesthetics intertwines with a professional path. This early love for aesthetics laid the foundation for my exploration of the beauty industry, shaping my perception of how personal style and confidence could intersect in a vibrant tapestry of creativity and wellness. My parents allowed me to fully express myself as a young girl by doing my own hair and makeup, picking my own outfits, and being very supportive of my creative expression. I can remember watching my mother do her make-up with such admiration and joy. Connecting with her in those moments are some of my favorite memories with her. As I matured, one of the most significant shifts I recall in the beauty industry was the emergence of liquid eyeliner, a trend I was determined to master. This revolutionary product became more than just a cosmetic tool; it was a form of self-expression that transcended external validation. The satisfaction I derived from its application extended beyond the compliments I received. Liquid eyeliner transformed my daily routine into an artistic ritual, allowing me to use my body as a canvas. Each stroke became an act of self-love, turning my reflection into a masterpiece that spoke to my individuality and creativity.
This newfound connection with makeup went beyond the superficial; it became a journey of self-discovery and empowerment. The act of applying liquid eyeliner was not merely about following a trend; it was a personal declaration of embracing my unique features and celebrating my identity. As I traced the contours of my eyes, I felt a profound sense of ownership over my body – a temple that I chose to adorn in a way that reflected my inner spirit. Liquid eyeliner became a symbol of confidence, allowing me to express myself authentically and transform my appearance into a canvas of personal artistry. My greatest masterpeice: myself.
My mission now is to help people express themselves in their highest potential and expression of themselves. Throughout my career, I've encountered numerous profoundly impactful moments. Whether it's assisting the transformative power of a gender-affirming journey, supporting a cancer survivor regaining her confidence and vitality, or preparing a grieving mother's lashes as she tearfully laid her baby to rest; only a few examples of the real-life experiences I've been fortunate enough to share with my clients.
This may not be conventional business advice but I have always told my clients that it is not about the tiny false hairs that I apply to accentuate their natural beauty, it is about transcending self care and allowing our bodies to be in a state of receiving. There's a profound meditative quality to eyelash extensions, one that fosters a tranquil experience for both the recipient and the practitioner. As a beauty professional my main mission is to educate others of the nurturing and compassion it takes for us to be with ourselves each moment so that our highest self is more easily accessible. Let’s talk about what self care really means.
