Anime lashes have been one of the biggest challenges in my lash journey.

I want to be transparent because growth doesn’t happen overnight. There were a lot of trial-and-error appointments, learning new techniques, tweaking every little detail, and trusting the process.

This beautiful client has been so incredibly patient with me through every step. She trusted me to experiment, supported me as I refined my technique, and kept coming back while we worked toward this vision together.

Today, we finally achieved the look we’d been chasing, and I couldn’t be happier with the outcome!

A huge thank you to clients who allow artists the space to grow. Your patience and trust mean more than you know. Every set teaches me something new, and this one is a reminder that progress is worth the process 🤍🪽

In January 2025, I made the decision to stop biting my nails.

For as long as I can remember, nail biting was something I struggled with. Stress, anxiety, boredom, excitement, it didn’t matter. My nails were always the first thing to suffer.

Today, when I look at them, I don’t just see natural nails. I see months of breaking a habit I never thought I’d beat. I see patience, setbacks, growth, and small daily choices that slowly added up.

They’re not perfect, and they probably never will be. But neither is healing.

If you’re working on breaking a habit, growing something out, rebuilding your confidence, or simply trying to become a better version of yourself, keep going. Progress is rarely overnight. Sometimes it’s measured in millimetres, not miles.

A year ago, I never would have imagined I’d be proud enough to show my natural nails off. Yet here we are.

Small steps still move you forward. 🤍

Skin grazing, even professionals aren’t immune 👀

Skin grazing is when the very top layer of the skin lifts or becomes compromised during hair removal, leaving behind pink/red, raw-looking patches. While it can look alarming, it’s usually superficial and heals well with proper aftercare.

Why does it happen?
Skin grazing can happen for a variety of reasons, including:
• Dry or dehydrated skin
• Over-exfoliation
• Friction or sensitivity in the area
• Sun exposure or recent tanning
• Active skincare ingredients (retinol, tretinoin, AHAs/BHAs, benzoyl peroxide, etc.)
• Certain medications & vitamins that thin or sensitize the skin

It is most commonly experienced during Brazilians due to the different skin textures throughout the area, the amount of tension required during the service, heat/moisture, and how taut the skin must be held for safe hair removal.

Wax is designed to adhere to the hair, but it can also grab onto dead or compromised skin cells. If the skin barrier is already sensitized, sometimes that top layer can lift as well, exposing the newer layer of skin underneath.

Some common medications/supplements that may increase the risk include:
• Accutane/isotretinoin
• Steroids
• Antibiotics
• Blood thinners
• Retinoids
• Vitamin A supplements
• Some hormonal medications

How to help avoid it:
• Keep the skin hydrated
• Avoid exfoliating immediately before appointments
• Discontinue active ingredients when recommended
• Be honest about medications, supplements, and skin changes
• Avoid sunburns and irritated skin before hair removal services

How to heal it:
• Keep the area clean & dry
• Avoid heat, sweating, pools, friction, and exfoliation for 24–48+ hours
• Use gentle, fragrance-free barrier repair products
• Let the skin heal naturally, picking or scrubbing can worsen irritation
