Sonia

Microblade Specialist (Kits)

For as long as I can remember, brows have been my passion! Misadventures with tweezers as a teen meant hiding behind oversized sunglasses every time I ran out without time to paint eyebrows on. Between work, family commitments and being an outdoor-loving and active Vancouverite, I rarely had a spare moment to touch up my face. This lead to countless hours (and money) spent searching for the perfect waterproof, sweat-proof and long-lasting solutions to my makeup woes.

I have gained extensive knowledge about the treatment and care of skin and hair whilst training in Aesthetics and as a Colour Tech. This is when I discovered (and fell in love with) cosmetic tattooing and things “clicked” into place!

Bourgeoisie Ink was born so I could share my knowledge and expertise with other women searching endlessly for an empowering beauty solution that enhances their own unique and natural look. 

The name is inspired by my fascination with the artwork of the early Industrial Revolution and the social change brought about by the ever-growing middle class, also known as the Bourgeoisie, in which I discovered whilst studying Art and Art History in college. Art, education and luxury became more accessible to the masses, instead of only an elite handful. I want my clients to see the accessibility and beauty in the art, knowledge and luxury in the services I offer.

Jessica

Owner

Jess has been in the beauty industry since 2000. Jessica took her Hair training at Future Hair Training Centre, in Vancouver, and she says “it was an amazing experience from beginning to end.” She continued working with the owner, Cynthia Skabar, after she graduated, as an Educator. She opened the first Bombshell location in 2012.

Education is paramount to Jessica, and she is always attending different hair cutting and colouring courses.  Curly hair is a specialty of Jess’s: she has long, thick, curly hair, and knows how challenging it can be to have it cut.

Jessica is also trained in Makeup (including Photography, Wedding and Special Effects) and Aesthetics, both of which she pursued her training at Blanche MacDonald Centre, so you can book her for both hair and makeup for your special event. You can book with Jessica at both the White Rock and Kitsilano locations.
