About the owner...
Born and raised in the magnificent Pacific Northwest, most of my childhood was spent outdoors. Kayaking, swimming and lounging on the docks of Lake Washington; backpacking, hiking and snowboarding in the Cascade and Olympic mountains; camping, boating & collecting shellfish at my family property on the Puget Sound; I consider myself a PNW girl to the core.
After receiving my bachelors degree in Sociology from Western WA University up in Bellingham, WA, I reentered the service industry, working in a few of Seattle's top rated restaurants, while also taking time off to live and work abroad. In 2012, after some deep soul searching, I enrolled in the Esthetics program at Gary Manuel Aveda Institute in Seattle, WA. While I always had a interest in skincare, health and overall self-care, I was never particularly drawn to the beauty industry, because it felt so intimidating and foreign to my more natural, simple, "get up and go" type of regimen.
Upon graduation, I immediately found a home at a popular Seattle lashing boutique. It wasn't long before I fell in love with lashing, my clients, and the genuine connections I was making with so many diverse people. I spent the next 5 years growing with the company; eventually managing both salon locations and training new employees, while simultaneously mastering my own lash, sugaring & airbrush tanning skills.
2018 called for a change, and I decided to explore other career options. However, something kept calling me back to the thing I love the most: connecting with people and making them feel beautiful in their own skin. At the beginning of 2019, I decided to take the leap and move into my own studio space in the heart of Ballard, WA. Which is where I am currently enjoying the adventure and excitement that comes along with small business ownership.
I look forward to meeting you, and helping you achieve your beauty goals. Cheers!!
