G’Day Salty Lash Babes!

I am originally from beachy Sydney, Australia, and have been living in sunny San Diego for 12 years.  I started my career as an Esthetician specializing in makeup and skin care, I continued my education in the field of cosmetic tattooing, where I learned to tattoo permanent makeup such as brow, eyeliner, and lips. My extended education lead me to the amazing world of lashes! I have, now, enjoyed helping clients be the best versions of themselves for nearly 2 decades. I love encouraging confidence in all my clients, and enhancing their natural beauty.

I founded Salt & Sand Lash Boutique to create a less stuffy, more beachy vibe lash experience for the salty babes of San Diego.
