OUR TEAM
Kathleen Parata
– Director
Ever since Kat was 8 years old, she wanted to be free and to grow up so fast she could travel the world, only dreaming of being her own boss.
Growing up without a father and seeing her family struggle at times was extremely hard and by the age of 14 she had her first part-time job.
After moving from New Zealand to Australia in 2010 her mission was to find her passion for an industry where she could build sustainability for her family, as well as help others in need where she could.
Working 2 part time jobs and a third job building this business from scratch took a lot of drive and passion which has produced all of the below qualifications:
After 8 years of learning different courses and perfecting Lashes and Brows, Kat has found her true calling through helping other like-minded women create their very own Empire.
Amanda Neale
– Director
Amanda moved by herself from England over to Brisbane in 2013 determined to create a new life for herself. Her 10 years experience in media sales gained her sponsorship and residency. Once gained residency, Amanda followed her passion for lash extension into a career and business.
Amanda met Kathleen back in 2017 as a client and student of Kathleen’s. Amanda loved Kathleen’s drive to be the best and care she invested in her student’s success and remained close to her for support during her growth into a lash technician. Kathleen seeing that in fact, Amanda shared the same motivation and similar goals for her personal and professional goals, they came together and expanded Kathleen’s vision for Lash & Brow Academy to what you see the business as today.
