Meet the Owner of Opal Business owner, proud mum of 4 boys, beauty enthusiast and educator. With over 10 years of experience in the beauty industry, beauty has always been more than just a job to me — it’s my passion. :white_heart: I specialise in Japanese Head Spa treatments, Korean Lash Lifts and beauty, combining my love for self-care, wellbeing and helping others feel confident in themselves. But my passion goes beyond the treatment room. As an educator, I believe education is key.

It’s a place where beauty, education, self-care and personal growth come together. My mission is to help every client feel amazing and every student believe in what they can achieve. Beauty is my passion. Education is my purpose. Empowering others is my why.
