Hi there, I'm Joey!
About Me
As an independent Natural Brow Artist, I have been providing my expertise in Vancouver and the Lower Mainland to a diverse clientele since 2017. I specialize in creating natural and balanced eyebrows using semi-permanent makeup.
​
My personal journey, shaped by the challenges of sparse brows and uneven facial features due to a sudden onset of Bell's Palsy in childhood, has given me a unique perspective. I've walked the path you may be familiar with, understanding the frustration of penciling in brows each morning. Through this, I've come to deeply appreciate a full set of balanced brows in framing the face. It's a journey that's not just about beauty but also about confidence.
This personal experience has inspired me to become an expert in the field and to help others like me. Leaving behind my career in a hospital laboratory was a leap of faith, but it was driven by a deep desire to help people feel their absolute best. Enhancing my clients' natural beauty is my top priority, and I am dedicated to providing a personalized and comfortable experience that you'll love. Let's start your confidence journey together and I appreciate you for considering me as your trusted Natural Brow Artist.
A personalized, step-by-step approach
01
Your journey starts with a free 45-minute consultation – no deposit required for your first visit. Unlike other studios, I believe in getting to know you and your unique story. We'll discuss your skincare regimen and overall skin health using a holistic checklist.
Using my algorithm, crafted through years of experience, I'll recommend the semi-permanent makeup technique for you. Together, we'll explore options like Nano, Microblading, Ombre Powder, or a personalized combination. We'll dive deep into the advantages and considerations of each choice. Additionally, I'll share photos showcasing past eyebrow work that complements your goals and face shape.
If you're ready, we can proceed with the treatment immediately after this session. Plus, a week before your visit, I'll provide you with pre-care instructions, including nutrition tips, to prepare your skin for beautiful, long-lasting results.
