About
A little about me...
Hello! I'm Natalie and I have been in the beauty industry for over 15 years now.
I have always had a passion for the industry and loved using makeup and doing makeovers at work and at home.
I decided to take it further and studied at Samala Robinson Academy in 2008 and was trained by Lorde's makeup artist, Abbie Gardiner, and graduated with a Certificate in Fashion Makeup Artistry.
Since then I have worked for a few different cosmetic brands and counters.
I moved down to Tauranga from Pukekohe in 2016, and became a promotional consultant for Elizabeth Arden.
​
I have also always had a passion for eyebrow shaping and have even been referred to by clients and friends as the “brow queen”! So I decided to explore this further and in 2018 I did a 6 month training course in microblading brows, with the internationally recognised, PhiAcademy. Since then, I have completed extra training in various techniques such as; Saline cosmetic tattoo removal and lightening, powder brows, lash line enhancement (upper eyeliner), nano hair-stroke brows, fine line body tattoos and lip blushing. It is an ever evolving industry, and I am passionate about keeping up with the latest techniques, technologies and pigments. I am constantly striving to learn more and give my clients the best long term results.
​
I love what I do, and I am a perfectionist! My salon is hygienic and professional, but also warm, relaxing and inviting. The majority of my clients fall asleep. Even during lip tattooing! I love giving women confidence, and having the creative outlet.
I am a member of the NZ Association of Registered Beauty Professionals. Which as a member, means that I have industry verified qualifications, I'm fully insured, and follow strict health and hygiene guidelines... So you are in safe hands.
I am friendly and welcoming, so you will feel comfortable and at ease no matter what service you are booked in for. Brows and lips are fully numbed before I start. You are also provided with full aftercare kits and instructions.
​
Personally, I am a mother to a teenage daughter, Eden, and also have a very busy nearly 5 year old boy, named Devon. My partner Ben, owns a skip bin business. And with both of us being self employed, we love the flexibility that our businesses provide for our family. Im also a huge animal lover, especially of birds. You will see a few when you are a client of mine! I have a professional home studio that is attached to our house which gives me the convenience of being able to work from home.
