Thank you for taking the time to learn a little more about my studio. I have several reasons for naming my beauty studio Lapis Lazuli.

Lapis lazuli, often referred to as just ‘lapis’, has been used as a gemstone for thousands of years. Sought after since antiquity, it is a deep blue gemstone that offers a special opaque quality. It continues to be popular today, and remains one of the most important opaque gemstones. To this end, I endeavor to make my studio and the service it provides stand out like a precious gem amongst the world of beauty salons.

Second, Lapis lazuli sports a dazzling, unique deep blue coloration complete with shimmering metalic pyrite ‘star’ inclusions. This gives the gemstone an appearance reflecting the night sky and the stars it holds. I would like my clients to feel radiant after visiting Lapis Lazuli, just like the stars in the night sky.

Third, Lapis lazuli is described as a woman’s best friend. This gem is believed to bring energies of wisdom, love, and emotional healing to the person who wears it or keeps it close to their bodies. I would like my clients to leave my studio feeling energised and uplifted, ready to take on the day.

Hi, my name is Claire!

I know that deciding on a service takes some time, and looking into where you will receive the service is very important. I would love to let you know about my background, training and experience, so that I can help make your choice to visit Lapis Lazuli – The Beauty Studio easier.

I have a unique background starting as an Underwater Cinematographer Assistant. In this position, I traveled the world, scuba diving and assisting with the production of underwater documentaries. It was a rewarding journey, but I knew I was meant for bigger and more “beauty”-ful things. I always had an interest in doing makeup and nails for myself and friends. In 2014, I fell in love with eyelash extensions so much that I decided to leave my aforementioned position behind to become a lash technician. It was my ultimate goal to one day manage my own salon that catered to the experiences and results that we desire most.

I am a big believer in quality and consider myself a perfectionist. I constantly look for new ways to improve my skills and keep up-to-date with the latest beauty trends and techniques.

I am passionate about working with my clients to achieve their desired lash look, while maintaining the health of their natural lashes. I pride myself in my work and ensure that every client leaves satisfied and confident with their beautiful lashes.

I am sure that you will enjoy your appointment with me in my beautiful studio in the heart of Port Coquitlam. Come pamper yourself and say goodbye to mascara!
