I think it’s about time that I tell you all a little bit about the face behind all the brow transformations…. That would be me.
I’m one of 4 children, married, and a mum to one boy. I was born in the fabulous country of Brazil and lived there until I was 12 years of age.
I come from an artistic family and have an art background but was a disappointment to my 3 art teachers when they found out that instead of taking up my place at the art college of Belfast I opted to study history (major) politics (minor) at Queens University of Belfast.
Following my degree in history and politics I then followed my desire to study law, completing a postgraduate degree at the College of Law in York (2 of the most amazing and hardest years of my life)
I then took up a post within the Department of Justice in NI where I remained somewhat stagnant for 18 yea.rs….and then something happened...
Within 3 years I had built a very successful business and it was during this time, whilst attending a makeup application course that the idea of becoming a permanent makeup artist came to mind.
In the years that I did art, I realised that I loved the attention to detail and loved working on small detailed projects. Sounds somewhat conceited, but I knew I would have a flair for it.
I completed my initial training at the end of 2019 having since completed numerous masterclasses in this field. I will never stop learning and picking up new skill sets. I have found my passion and my love, extending my desire to help others feel good in their own skin.
My training won’t stop here, and very soon I will embark on another project to further extend my proficiency. So watch this space…
Lots of love

Nestled amongst the green sweeping hills of County Tyrone you will find my carefully designed clinic, which was once a Gatelodge known as Lissenderry c1843.
When it came to designing the interior, I was conscious of giving a salute to its historic past while keeping it minimalist, and compliant to all aesthetic clinic regulations.
The clinic is located on the main road to Aughnacloy, and all of my clients who travel from the Eastern side of the island will know that it's a straight journey. With motorway access right to the Ballygawley roundabout, which is 2.8 miles from my door.
Situated 12 miles from Monaghan town, the clinic is easily accessed by those who live on the South side of our island.
Many of my clients use the opportunity to explore nearby venues such as The linen green ( Dungannon) and various boutiques & coffee shops in the surrounding areas, making it a "day out" experience.
I'm very much looking forward to welcoming a host of new clients and having some great catch-ups with my existing ones.
See you all soon,
Katrina
