The Blog

Ladies, ladies, ladies. This topic has been on my hit list to write about for a LONG time. In fact, I have probably been stewing on this for longer than I care to admit. Partly because I don’t want my husband to think that I ever waste time pondering about my ex (I really don’t) and partly because talking about your ‘ex’ is typically considered taboo. I remember reading a relationship-shaming blog about a year or so ago... Clearly written by a person who had not yet moved on from their past and had a LOT of anger/resentment towards their ex, it was awfully uncomfortable to read. I think the purpose of the blog was to shame the ex, but...

As my first weekly blog for the fab females at The Lab, I thought I’d share my thoughts on; what I perceive to be the first step on your journey to clear, radiant skin - the importance of WASHING YOUR FACE. Daily. And I don’t just mean a splash of water during your morning shower while singing along to TLC’s No Scrubs (my jam). I mean a proper clean. A real clean… Every morning. Every night.

Microblading, feather touch, brow tattooing, microstroke, eyebrow embroidery - are all terms used to describe what has grown to become the biggest trend in beauty. The concept itself has been around in some form or another for many years but made a resurgance in Asia in the last decade. It was at this point that lady boss and mega babe Amy Jean brought the latest technology back with her to Oz. Pioneering the soft hair like strokes that she is now famous for AJ is one of the biggest names in the business which is why we have hit her up to answer a few Q's for us regarding what can be a life long commitment. What is a feather...

Word on the street is that people are confused and/or concerned about our price increases and we totally get it. Three times in 2 years, crazy right?! But before you go thinking that we are ballin’ all over the place, ripping off all our fave babes and getting bottle service on the daily please let us put it in perspective. (My 16 year old banged up, bald tyred, barely starting Hyundai won’t pay for itself people!) We are a boutique niche beauty studio, we offer one thing and that’s brows. We do not defluff your lady parts or wax lyrical on your limbs (which would dramatically increase our bottom line) nor do we offer fluffy facials for a hefty fee....
