Our Team

– Founder & Director

As Founder of L&BA Kat has always had a dream to return back to her home land in New Zealand and this year, she has made this dream come true. After eleven long years in Australia and 9 of those years being in the beauty industry, working as a master in lash extensions and eyebrow perfection, Kats goals have always been:

Where to from here Kat? “Since Covid-19 has impacted us and everyone we love in 2020 my goal setting moving forward has mainly been around helping my staff and my students to also sustain a work life balance. My vision to help my tribe is to provide the tools to those I love to enable more work or cash flow especially with the economy and very low access to growth building tools or systems. Already with the help of the Government we have been able to make my part time staff full time and guarantee them more money, teach my staff new skills like becoming teachers themselves in order to pass knowledge onto those who reach out for help, and moving forwards being able to help Kiwi ladies here in New Zealand to do the same.”
