Our journey began with a bold dream and unrelenting determination. Founded by Kathleen Te Aroha Parata at the age of 22, our story is one of ambition, resilience, and the pursuit of excellence. Kat set out not just to work for herself but to create something truly meaningful—a brand that would empower and inspire others to chase their dreams.

Starting from a humble home-based business, Kathleen poured her heart into building a community that prioritized quality, innovation, and empowerment. Just five years later, her vision grew into a thriving salon, and soon after, she expanded internationally, opening doors in New Zealand. Her ability to inspire and uplift others has been the cornerstone of our brand’s success.

Now, over a decade later, Shelby continues Kathleen’s legacy with big goals of her own. Under Shelby's leadership, we’ve achieved remarkable milestones, including offering the highest grade of education in the beauty industry. As an accredited provider of diplomas in cosmetic tattooing through the Academy of Cosmetic Tattooing Australia, we are proud to shape the next generation of industry professionals.

Today, what started as a dream in a single room has grown into two thriving salons and academies in Australia and New Zealand, serving as hubs of creativity, education, and empowerment. From perfecting brows to building futures, our mission remains the same: to help individuals reach their fullest potential, whether as clients embracing their beauty or students mastering their craft.
