About-me | Bellingham Norinook Beauty

In 2006 I received my massage training from the Ashmead College of Massage, specializing in spa techniques and aromatherapy. I continued my education further into skin care and received my esthetics license in 2008 from the Evergreen Beauty College. After spending time practicing my technique, I was ready to bring my own space to life to promote the kind of healing that would decrease stress, increase ones circulation and vibrancy, detoxify and remove waste from ones body, as well as promote inner beauty. After years of wear and tear on my hands and body from massage, I decided to place my focus more on the face and sought out training in Skincare from Evergreen Beauty and Barber. There is so much to learn about the skin, and many areas to branch off to within the industry. Over the years I enjoyed getting to know many skincare companies and had the privilege to work with various products to perform facials, peels and other exfoliation services. After several years of working in skincare, I quickly became interested in Eyelash Extensions and Makeup Application.

I took my first Classic Lash training in 2015, and soon enough I was ready to advance my techniques in Volume Lash Extensions, as I absolutely fell in love with the transformation of each set. Seeing each client finding their inner beauty through this technique gave me a new purpose, and an instant gratification. Makeup Application including brow sculpting and facial contouring became another favorite to me after seeing how a set of eyelash extensions paired with the perfect eyebrows can complete the perfect face. This is where I decided to further my training in Microblading. Lashes and Brows go hand in hand, and why not make the brows semi-permanent? Convenience and having extra time in the mornings is something everyone is looking for. Microblading, Powder Brows and Nano Brows are all semi-permanent beauty services currently offered at Norinook Beauty. Recently I made the switch from waxing to sugaring. I am thrilled to offer a more natural method to hair removal to align with the non-harming and restorative approach.

My passion for the Beauty industry remains vibrant customizing treatments and empowering each client with the education to maintain a healthy body and skin glow even after they have left my care. I will continue to seek out the latest developments in the PMU and Lash world keeping up with the latest technical advances. Ultimately, I want my clients to love the skin that they are in.

Brow Artistry also became another favorite to me after realizing that brows frame the face. Seeing how a set of eyelash extensions paired with the perfect eyebrows can complete the perfect face. Once I realized that the brows can be made semi-permanent, I instantly took my first Microblading course. This is where I decided to further my Permanent Makeup dreams. I now hold certifications in Microblading, Powder Brows, Nano Digital Brows, Lip Blush, Eyeliner Enhancement Tattoo, 3D Areola Tattoo, and Tiny Fine Line Tattoo. I strive to provide my clients with the convenience of having extra time in the mornings and to boost self-confidence with improving what they already have.

In addition to my formal technical training, it is my life training as a devoted mother and wife that has enhanced my nurturing character, which is necessary in providing thoughtful care to my clients. In the past few years, I was fortunate to be a stay-at-home mom, which led me back to some of my other hobbies creating anything inspired by my children. I also fought and beat a battle with breast cancer. Going through this challenging time also inspired me to help other women fighting this disease. Acquiring a certification in Areola Tattoo is just the beginning of my passion to make a difference for breast cancer survivors. The compassion and love I feel for my family are carried into my work as a Beauty Stylist as well as an artist.
