My private lash studio is located in the heart of Nambour (4560), providing a central and serene location for clients across the Sunshine Coast Hinterland.

Because of my central location, the studio is a short, convenient drive for those looking for premium lash extensions in:

• Woombye & Palmwoods (less than 10 minutes)

• Mapleton, Montville & Flaxton (a beautiful 15-minute drive down the range)

• Burnside, Coes Creek & Rosemount (just around the corner)

• Yandina & Eumundi (straight down the M1/Bruce Highway)

Parking & Accessibility: I want your "me-time" to be stress-free from the moment you arrive. I have convenient, free street parking right outside the studio, so you never have to worry about finding a spot or feeding a meter.

Whether you’re coming from the coast or the mountains, my studio is designed to be your quiet retreat for professional lash artistry.

The application typically takes 1.75 to 2.5+ hours, depending on the lash look you’re going for. During the process, you’ll need to lie still with your eyes closed. Most clients find it very relaxing and often drift off to sleep, but if staying still or lying down for extended periods is difficult for you, or if you have neck or back issues, this service may not be ideal.

To ensure the best experience, please come to your appointment distraction-free—this means turning off your phone and coming alone. For safety and comfort, children and pets are not allowed in the studio during your session.

When applied by a seasoned professional and cared for properly, eyelash extensions should not damage your natural lashes. Proper after-care is essential to keep both your extensions and natural lashes healthy.

Choosing the right style depends on your natural lash health and the "vibe" you want to achieve. In my Nambour studio, I customise every set, but here is a simple guide to the three main techniques:

• Classic Lashes (The Natural Lift): This is the most traditional method where one single extension is applied to one natural lash. It’s perfect if you want a look that mimics a perfect coat of mascara—adding length and a beautiful curl without too much density.

• Hybrid or Mixex Lashes (The Best of Both Worlds): A 50/50 mix of Classic and Volume techniques. This style is my most popular for a "textured" look. It’s ideal if you have a few gaps in your natural lash line or if you want a bit more "fluff" and "dimension" than a Classic set provides.

• Volume Lashes (The Full & Fluffy Look): Using ultra-lightweight fibers, I create "fans" of 3–6 lashes and apply them to each natural lash. This is not about a "heavy" look; it’s about creating a soft, cloud-like fullness. This is the ultimate "Lash Reset" style for those who want maximum impact and an effortless morning routine.

Not sure which one to choose? Don't worry! Every full set appointment begins with a comprehensive consultation. I’ll look at your eye shape, discuss your lifestyle (whether you're beach-bound in Noosa or hiking the Hinterland), and I’ll recommend the style that will best enhance your natural beauty.

To ensure your lashes last as long as possible and stay healthy, avoid rubbing your eyes, using lash curlers, or removing makeup roughly. Gently cleanse your lashes with an approved lash extension cleanser to remove makeup, dirt, oils, and bacteria. I’ll share my top after-care tips to guide you in maintaining your lashes and natural lash health. Daily cleansing with a lash extension-safe product is crucial to keeping your lashes looking fresh and your lash line healthy.

You can shop for the recommended after-care products in my lash shop, and be sure to check out my blog for more tips on properly washing your lashes! Regular care is key for long-lasting lashes and a healthy lash line.

To keep your lashes looking full, neat, and symmetrical, I recommend booking a refill every 2 to 3 weeks.

Why the 2–3 week window? Your natural lashes are constantly moving through a growth cycle. On average, we lose 2–5 natural lashes per eye every single day! As your natural lashes grow out, the extensions move further away from the eyelid, which can cause them to tip or twist.

Factors that affect your retention on the Sunshine Coast:

• The Humidity Factor: Here in the Sunshine Coast and Noosa region, our high humidity can sometimes affect how the adhesive behaves. I use a specialised adhesive, but consistent touch-up fills are the "gold standard" for a flawless look year-round.

• Active Lifestyles: If you’re a regular at the beach or the gym, sweat and salt air can break down the bond slightly faster. A 2-week schedule is best for my active clients.

• Natural Oil Production: Everyone’s skin is different. If you have oilier skin, you may find you need a "tweak" at the 2-week mark.

Important Note: To qualify for a refill price at my studio, you must have at least 30% of your extensions remaining. If it has been longer than 4 weeks or your lashes have "popped off" due to a break in routine, a fresh Full Set will be required to restore your look safely.

Most clients find they don’t need mascara with eyelash extensions, and I generally don’t recommend using it. The purpose of lash extensions is to give you a beautiful, effortless look 24/7—saving you time and eliminating the need for mascara. Using mascara on your extensions can lead to product buildup, which can cause irritation, bacteria growth, and make your extensions more prone to damage. Plus, the rubbing and effort required to remove mascara can shorten the lifespan of your lash extensions, as it leads to more tugging and premature shedding. It’s best to keep your extensions clean and free from extra product to ensure they stay looking fresh and healthy for as long as possible.

Yes, you can absolutely still wear makeup! However, to protect your investment and keep your natural lashes healthy, there are a few "golden rules" we follow in the studio:

The Makeup Rules:

• Oil-Free is Essential: Avoid any oil-based foundations, eyeliners, or eyeshadows around the eye area. Oils are the enemy of lash adhesive and will cause your extensions to "pop off" prematurely.

• Skip the Mascara: You likely won’t feel the need for it, but please avoid applying mascara to your extensions. It’s nearly impossible to remove without rubbing, which can pull out your natural lashes.

• Eyeliner Tips: Stick to water-based liquid liners rather than pencils or gels, which can leave a sticky residue at the base of your lash line.

How to Clean Your Lashes (The Daily Routine): Think of washing your lashes like brushing your teeth—it’s a non-negotiable part of your daily hygiene!

1. Wait 24 Hours: Let the adhesive fully cure before getting your new set wet.

2. Use a Dedicated Lash Cleanser: Use a pH-balanced foaming lash shampoo (available in-studio). Avoid "baby shampoo" or micellar water, as these can contain hidden oils or glycols that weaken the bond.

3. Brush Gently: Using a soft cleansing brush, work the foam through your lashes in downward strokes. Rinse thoroughly with cool water.

4. Pat & Spoolie: Gently pat dry with a lint-free towel and use your clean spoolie brush to "fluff" them back into place once they are dry.

Why cleaning matters: Regular cleaning removes salt, sweat, and natural oils—especially important for our active Sunshine Coast lifestyle. Proper aftercare means better retention, which means your refill touch-ups at my Nambour studio will be faster and easier!

When considering lash extensions, it's important to look beyond the price. Are the technicians insured, certified, and properly trained? While lash supplies are readily available online, the application process requires expertise. The bonding glue used is incredibly strong, much like super glue, and improper use can lead to injury, discomfort, infections, or irritations.

Also, consider the appointment length. A full set should take around 2 hours, with touch-ups generally taking 1 hour. Shorter appointment times may compromise the quality, longevity, and comfort of your lashes. Quality lashes require time, skill, and the right materials for a safe and beautiful result.

Yes! I only use individual lash extensions for Classic lashes, meaning each extension is applied to one of your natural lashes. I don’t use lash flares, pre-made fans, or clusters, as these are not ideal for long-term lash health. While these types of extensions may seem quicker to apply, they can cause significant damage to your natural lashes, leading to lasting damage that may not fully recover.

Yes! I’m fully trained in the hand-fanned Russian Volume technique, also known as 3D or Volume lashes, by two of Australia's top trainers. This technique focuses on adding volume rather than length by applying 2-4 extensions to each natural lash.

Russian Volume lashes are perfect for a bold, full look or for those with sparse lashes. I customize the amount of volume to suit your needs, using only fine extensions (0.05mm or 0.07mm diameter) to create a soft, fluffy effect.

I exclusively use handmade fans that are fanned during your appointment to ensure the highest quality—no pre-made fans are ever used in my sets.

As long as you have a healthy amount of lashes and they’re not damaged (e.g. from lash lifts, hormonal changes, or excessive pulling), lash extensions are usually a great option for you.

If you struggle with alopecia or have a habit of picking/pulling your lashes, extensions may not be suitable.

To strengthen and grow your natural lashes, I recommend using my lash serum alongside your extensions. For those with sparse lashes, the serum can help boost growth and improve lash health. Learn more about my lash serum here.

I don’t offer refills or touch-ups on lashes applied by other salons. Each lash technician has their own technique and products, so it’s best to start fresh with a new set when switching stylists.

To ensure the highest quality, I’ll need to remove your previous extensions and apply a new set. This guarantees the best results and longevity for your lashes.

Shedding 2-5 lashes per day is completely normal, as lashes naturally fall out just like the hair on our heads. This is why regular maintenance is important to keep your extensions looking full.

Uneven shedding between eyes can sometimes happen, but it’s often due to how your lashes shed naturally. That said, better home care can help minimize it. Keep in mind, some people's lashes shed faster than others due to individual growth cycles.

Excessive shedding may be caused by factors such as:

• Pressure from side sleeping

• Hormonal changes

• Stress or illness

• Seasonal shedding

• Medications

• Diet changes

• Oily skin

• Improper aftercare (not washing lashes, rubbing, picking, using heavy makeup, or certain skincare products)

• Lifestyle activities like swimming or water sports

Proper care and maintenance can help reduce excessive shedding and keep your lashes looking great longer.

I’m here to grant lash wishes, and I’d absolutely love to give you the lashes you’ve been dreaming of! If your natural lashes can handle it, and you’re ready to relax for the time it takes to create a beautiful set of lashes, we can definitely work towards that look.

However, a few factors will determine what’s achievable:

1. Your Natural Lashes: There’s a safe amount of weight your natural lashes can handle, and that’s something we’ll need to consider together. While I’d love to give you that strip lash or cat-eye effect, we have to work within the limits of your natural lashes’ strength. I’ve been doing this long enough to know what’s reasonable and safe for each client.

2. Aftercare: Lash health is a team effort. What I do in your appointment needs to be supported by you at home with proper aftercare. Consistency is key—washing your lashes daily and avoiding damaging habits will allow me to give you the best possible result.

3. Your Budget: Did you know you have around 75-150 natural lashes per eye? The more complex the look, the more time and skill it takes to create, so your budget will influence the final result. More volume, more time, more cost.

You’ll look gorgeous no matter what, but if you have a specific look in mind, please get in touch so I can help you choose the best lash service for your goals and your budget.

While I may not be the most budget-friendly option, I focus on delivering an exceptional experience and creating long-lasting, stunning looks that reflect your unique style. My pricing reflects the time, skill, and expertise I bring to each client, ensuring you get top-tier service and results.

From our initial consultation to the final set, my goal is to exceed your expectations and create a flawless, natural-looking lash enhancement that enhances your beauty.
