Sometimes, people are lucky enough to have a sense of direction from an early age, and Abi certainly classifies herself as one of them! The beauty industry runs through her veins and has done so as far back as she can remember. Her love for the industry was sparked from the moment her mom shared the skills and experience she gained from managing the counter of a well-known beauty brand for several years. Her mom taught Abi her first-ever skincare routine and makeup application. Over the years, the tables have turned, as Abi is now the one sharing her expertise with her mom!

Since completing her beauty qualification at 16, Abi has known that education and development are the paths she wanted to pursue. Throughout the years, she gained invaluable experience working for some high-end beauty brands and running busy columns in successful salons. Abi then built an extremely well-known reputation in her hometown of Leicestershire, UK, specializing in the brow and lash world through the launch of her own business. Her focus has been on semi-permanent makeup, brows, lashes, and occasion makeup. In 2020, Abi furthered her qualifications as a trainer and educator, utilizing this expertise to create private courses, including brow lamination.

Seven years later, after launching her business, Abi and her family (consisting of three members, plus their beloved German Shorthaired Pointer, Chase) decided to sell everything and move to Australia in October 2022. This gave Abi the chance to redefine what she wanted her future to look like and saw it as the perfect opportunity to go head first into pursuing her dream of becoming a full-time educator in the sector she thrives the most, Lashes and Brows.
