Hi there! I'm Inga!

From Structural Engineering To Permanent Makeup

My journey into the permanent makeup world started as a customer 12 years ago.

Even though (compared to modern permanent makeup techniques) the results of my first procedure would have shown up on today’s “permanent makeup fails” (google search). But I was blown away by how much this one time procedure changed my day to day life.

As an athlete participating in sports daily, who is passionate about beauty and makeup my life was a constant back and forth between wanting to look amazing, while also wanting to enjoy sports. All without having to run to a mirror to fix the black streaks running down my face every 15 mins.

After experiencing the freedom to enjoy sports and the extra time I added to my day. Without having to worry about the state my face was in after a day of activities. The idea of becoming a permanent makeup artist to help other women bring out their natural beauty without the hassle, started brewing in the back of my mind.

At the time, I was a recent structural engineering graduate starting my first job. I knew I couldn’t tell my family that after years of studying, I was going to completely change the course of my life to become a permanent makeup artist.

So I sucked it up and continued on my chosen path.

But my passion for beauty (especially eyebrows) only grew stronger. As a result my family and friends always had perfectly shaped and tinted brows.

.In 2018 I decided it was time. So I packed my bags and flew from Canada to Europe to get educated in the most recognized worldwide permanent makeup academy – AcademyS by Sviatoslav Otchenash.

Leaving my engineering job as a result of the global pandemic was a blessing in disguise for me.

I finally had the chance to follow my passion and jump head first into building my permanent makeup business full time. and explore my love for the outdoors.

During this time of freedom, I fell in love with kiteboarding which ultimately led me to Squamish. Which has proven to be a place impossible to leave.

My mission is to help women in the Sea To Sky corridor look and feel amazing. Giving them confidence through the sweaty times, rainy times and the days so jam packed that there isn’t even time to look in the mirror. Helping them enhance their natural beauty with permanent makeup.
