My name is Zara and I am a certified Permanent Makeup/Microneedling and BBGlow technician.

I have been in this industry for over 7 years. And let me tell you, the permanent make up industry has become saturated with so many different technicians. It can be confusing to decide who to trust and knowing which services are best suited for you.

Trust me I know, It is not an easy decision when it comes to your face, especially your skin and brows. I take pride in my ability to create custom looks for each client. My speciality is honing in on what makes each person beautiful and highlighting it with the safest and most up to date laser, microneeding and permanent make up tools available in the market today.

I treat each clients face like a canvas ensuring they are comfortable with the plan before proceeding. One of my favourite things to do are brows because they are what shape and define our image. Personalizing brows or any of my services to fit my clients needs is what I strive for (I’ll let you in on a secret…I’m a bit of a perfectionist…shhhh).

I am also a certified laser hair removal technician. Yes being a woman is a struggle, but in order to embrace it, we need to feel beautiful inside and out! Removing unruly hair means we can save time, feel comfortable and conquer the world! Ladies, you know what I mean.

I take pride in my work and I take my time to understand my clients expectations for their face and body. If you are ready to highlight your natural beauty book a free consultation with me today .

I look forward to getting to know you and seeing you in my suite very soon.

With love, Zara

Nathan has been a passionate professional in the woman’s health and medical aesthetic industry for over a decade. He has a huge passion for the skin especially treating the skin with energy devices (Lasers) and skincare.

Nathan refers to himself as a Personal Trainer for the skin. He understands the intricate differences about each layer of the skin and what is required to help you look and feel your best.
