An Unwavering

For many years I enjoyed an embellished accounting and finance career (both domestically and abroad), before I embarked on my journey into motherhood. As many mothers will echo, raising children is a euphoric whirlwind. One that often leaves us depleted, conflicted with exhaustion and existing in a hazy place between sleep deprivation and yearning for something more stimulating. 

As my children grew older, I was overcome with a desire to rediscover myself. I’d pushed aside my deep longing for identity as the months flew by, but something craved the astute, striving career woman I’d once been. I pined for a renewed confidence and a fresh-faced radiance that united me with other women who surely felt the same.

More than a Wedding

This is what ultimately led me to enrol in a diploma of Hair and Makeup at the esteemed Academy of Makeup in Paddington: taking evening classes and dedicating my Sundays to mastering my craft. Witnessing first-hand the transformative effect makeup has on a woman’s confidence inspired me. And what started as an impassioned side hustle, quickly blossomed into a thriving full time business: Eva Hair & Makeup. 

To this day I continue to guide women through their personal makeup journey’s, adapting and curating looks to align with the ever-evolving stages of their lives. By combining my professional background with my innate creative skills, I’m able to handle high-pressure situations, resolve wedding-day hiccups with ease, learn and adapt continuously and remain motivated to learn, grow and share my hair and makeup skillset. After all, Eva Hair & Makeup has never been limited to radiant makeup looks or polished hairstyles, but enriching the lives of women so the biggest day of their life is as memorable, joyful and transformative as possible.
