Paulina de los Reyes
Qualified Dermal Therapist, Beauty Therapist, Makeup Artist & Eyebrow Tattooist
Position: Owner and Manager / Qualified Skin & Beauty Therapist
What do I do in clinic: I specialised in eyebrow feathering and microblading tattooing as well as in RF Microneedling and Collagen induction with Scarlet and Dermapen devices. Full body sugaring including Brazilians, brow sculpt, brow lamination, shape or tidy with wax or sugar, brow tinting, lash lifts and lash tint. I also perform most of all Signature, Clinical & Medical Facials and peels. I love treating the skin with dermal technology and machinery, witnessing the amazing results on my clients is the most rewarding experience in my career. I love makeup for special occasions and bridal. Although I am an expert with laser IPL hair removal and body waxing, I only perform this type of therapy when necessary.A little about me and the industry: Born and lived in Mexico, till my adventurous side took off. While in Europe I fell in love and Australia is now home. Love at first sight and passion was grown immediately for the beauty industry as when I arrived in Australia I decided to study Beauty Therapy and Makeup Artistry to become qualified in the industry and of course to get hands on in the field. Now with the years that have passed more studying has come and I have achieved a qualification as a Eyebrow Tattooist and as a Dermal Therapist.
Before having my own business I managed to work and gained incredible experience in some awesome companies like Endota Spa and M.A.C Cosmetics. Williamstown, Newport, Altona, Altona North, Yarraville, Footscray, Port Melbourne, Point Cook and surrounding suburbs are in my list of most loyal clients however word of mouth and social media have been really kind to us as Eastern residents cross the city to see me, particularly for my eyebrow magic.
Having over 15 years experience within the industry, my skin knowledge, modern skin therapies, facials and makeup skills are outstanding, my attention to details is remarkable as well as my therapy and quality of work. I pride myself for being extra thoughtful and thorough.
