I WAS born and raised in Shepparton. At the age of 16, I started working at a well known local pharmacy and it was there I gained my passion for beauty therapy.
In 1981 my mum Barbara Little brought a hairdressing salon at 6 Fryers Street and from there, Hairtrend was born. I left the pharmacy to work in the salon and after successfully completing my first waxing course in Melbourne. I became the first person in Shepparton to run their beauty room from inside a hairdressing salon.
I then went on to continue courses in Melbourne on facials, skincare and nails and I was again the first person to locally introduce acrylic nails, fibreglass and later, gel nails.
In 1982, I did my hairdressing apprenticeship, and in that time combined my hairdressing and beauty clients. After completion of my apprenticeship, I gave away hairdressing and decided to concentrate fully on beauty therapy.
The owner of a renowned establishment in Hampton, Melbourne, asked me if I would like to learn semi-permanent makeup in 1993. Of course, I said yes and after completing my training, I became the first person in country Victoria to do semi-permanent makeup.
As time went on, I completed more advanced training in Melbourne as a cosmetic technician and then in 2014, I went to Los Angeles to obtain my CPDA (Certified Professional Dermal Artist). The CPDA is the highest standard as a cosmetic technician and I am proud to continue to gain knowledge through my mentors in America and across Australia.
