Listen, before the craziness of September starts, whether it’s back to school in your household or back to full time at work, take this time to do your self-care. Your kids are at their last week of summer camp, your boss is out of office until Sept. 1. It’s time!! Book in. I’m waiting for you!

I’m proud to be one of only a few artists in the area offering the Korean Lash Lift technique, and I’ve invested in extensive training to perfect my skills. My goal is to provide results that are truly customized to each client.
What makes my lash lifts different?
• An in-depth consultation before your treatment
• A wide variety of lash shields to choose from
• Careful consideration of your natural lash length and type, and your eye shape
• A customized approach rather than a one shield fits all technique
• Training focused specifically on achieving beautiful, healthy-looking results
Whether you want a soft, natural lift or a more dramatic, wide-eyed curl, I’ll choose the technique, whether hybrid or Korean, and shield that best suits your lashes and your desired look.
Results typically last 6–8 weeks, depending on your natural lash growth cycle and aftercare. As your lashes naturally shed and grow out, your lift will gradually soften meaning there’s no harsh grow-out period.
If you’ve been thinking about trying a lash lift, this is your sign.
Lash lifting is an art. Scroll to the end to see the before picture.

Check out the before to appreciate the transformation. This lovely guest is new to the Korean Lash Lift. In the past she’d had a traditional lift and didn’t like how the curl went into her lids.
Rod selection is an art. After our consultation I decided on a rod that provided a titch more lift than curl. Her grow out will be easy and with the addition of a lash serum this will last up to 8 weeks!

WHEN A CLIENT NO-SHOWS. One of the hardest parts of being self-employed isn’t the treatments—it’s the booked appointment that no one shows up for.
Every no-show or last-minute cancellation is time I can’t fill, income I can’t recover, and a spot another client could have booked.
I’ve avoided taking deposits because I want booking to feel easy and welcoming, but I’m starting to realize that protecting my business is just as important as providing great service.
I’m seriously considering requiring deposits for new clients moving forward.
To everyone who shows up, respects my time, and supports my small business—thank you. You make it possible for me to keep doing what I love.

I wouldn’t believe it if I didn’t do it myself. I mean, come on! If this doesn’t convince you to take the Korean Lash Lift plunge, what will?!?!
This is the treatment of 2026! Why? Because this method ensures the health of your lashes. It gives amazing results. The results can be dramatic or natural depending on your preference. You can get your lashes wet!! That’s a bonus in the summer. The maintenance is sooo minimal. With proper aftercare, which is a lash conditioner, your results can last 8 weeks! Comment below if you’ve had a Korean Lash Lift and love it.
I hope to see you soon! DM if you have questions. Xx.
Calling all Blondes…
“I don’t want them too dark”!
I get it. Blonde brows require a softer, more customized approach. The goal isn’t harsh or blocky—it’s natural, balanced brows that frame your face and make your eyes pop.
There’s something so satisfying about taking naturally light brows and adding just the right amount of definition while keeping everything soft and effortless.
You walk out looking like yourself… just a little more polished.
And can we talk about the convenience? Less time filling in your brows every morning and more time enjoying your coffee.
Blonde brows are my love language, and creating that perfect shade for each client never gets old.
Who else spent years believing blondes shouldn’t tint their brows?
8:00 AM: Saturday is fully booked.
Me: “Amazing. Everything is running smoothly.”
The universe: “That’s cute.”
10:00 AM: Reschedule.
11:00 AM: Cancellation.
12:00 PM: Appointment change.
1:00 PM: Another appointment change.
2:00 PM: Someone books.
2:05 PM: Someone moves.
2:10 PM: Someone cancels.
Me, trying to understand what happened to my Saturday. I’m beginning to suspect that fully booked Saturday was just a fever dream. Where are all of my Saturday gals??
Jokes aside, this gorgeous hard wax is one of the reasons my clients love their waxing appointments. Smooth application, effective hair removal, and a more comfortable experience.
Hard wax is superior because it doesn’t stick to the skin. Soft wax, which is removed with a strip, also removes the top layer of skin which increases discomfort.
If you’ve been looking for an experienced wax specialist with a relaxed, comfortable vibe, I’d love to welcome you into my studio.
Now... get your mind out of the gutter. 😂. skinkaraesthetics
🫧My New Favourite Cleanser🫧
As many of you know, I despise washing my face(quite an admission from an Esthetician).
I’ve always loved the feeling of clean skin, but I’ve never loved the process, especially when it involves scrubbing at makeup and spending forever rinsing off the residue. Water running down your arms, getting product in your eyes. Ugh!! I’m getting annoyed just thinking about it.
Then I discovered Corthe Cleansing Oil, and it has completely changed my routine.
This cleansing oil melts away makeup, sunscreen, and daily buildup with ease, yet rinses off quickly and cleanly without any heavy residue.
Best of all, it cleanses without stripping your skin’s protective barrier, helping your skin stay balanced, hydrated, and healthy.
Suitable for all skin types, even oily and acne-prone skin. It leaves your skin feeling soft, fresh, and comfortable after every cleanse.
Curious to try it? Ask for a sample at your next appointment. 🫧
