Our Story
Our story began back in 2010, when Katherine started her beauty journey offering mobile and home-based services across Sydney. What began as a passion quickly turned into a trusted, word-of-mouth business for high-quality treatments delivered with care, good energy, and attention to detail. From lashes and brows to facials and more, she built a loyal clientele by creating a space that felt personal and results-driven.
In September 2021, her daughter Shantelle officially joined the business, bringing a fresh perspective and a brand new skillset — professional nail enhancements. It was something Katherine had never offered, and the response was immediate. From flawless BIAB and Gel-X sets to detailed nail art, Shantelle introduced a whole new service line that quickly became one of our most in-demand offerings.
By October 2022, we had outgrown the casual home setup and made the move to build a dedicated, fully equipped beauty studio — a private space designed with intention, comfort, and style in mind.
Located in Stanhope Gardens, Sydney, our private home-based salon now specialises in expert Nails, Lashes, Brows, Makeup, and Facials.We’re known for our detail, consistency, and warm client care. Every treatment is tailored to your unique style and needs, with a focus on comfort, quality, and results that keep you coming back.
Together, as a mother-daughter duo, we blend over a decade of experience with a modern, personalised approach to beauty. A Beauty Experience is more than just a salon — it’s a space where you can relax, feel confident, and walk out glowing.
