I spent years of my life with sensitive skin and struggled with hair removal. I tried everything from the fanciest razors, trendy hair removal creams, and eventually settled with traditional hot wax in attempts to feel more confident in my skin. Despite waxing giving better results than shaving I still experienced painful irritation and LOTS of ingrown hairs. When I discovered sugaring I was instantly hooked.

I pursued my esthetics license in 2015 with a specific interest in mastering hair removal. I received my training and my advanced sugaring certification through Tamara’s Professional Body Sugaring and have been sugaring full time ever since.

In 2021 I opened my first salon Hey Sugar in Portland with my best friend and long time coworker, and I am SO excited to now bring my years of experience and passion for sugaring to downtown Vancouver!

My ultimate goal is to help every one of my clients feel comfortable and confident in their own skin. I pour my heart into my work and truly believe in the benefits of sugaring as well as creating aftercare plans to work with all skin types. I aim to provide a comfortable, safe, body positive space where clients know there is no judgement, and nothing I haven’t seen before!

Can’t wait to meet you all!
