About Lena

Lena Haapala, Makeup Artist, Brow Stylist, and Licensed Esthetician

Lena Haapala was born and raised on the island of Oahu. She began her career in 1995 as a make-up artist on the beaches of Waikiki and then she was off to school in San Diego, California to get her Esthetician license. There, she learned her passion for pampering people and gained her knowledge of skin care, waxing, facials and extended body treatments.

Her talents have taken her from the beautiful surroundings of Hawaii to the historical circuit of Williamsburg, Virginia. She parlayed through to the cultural mecca of New York City and then headed back to the west coast hot spot of Los Angeles. After living in L.A. for five years, she is now heading back to her homeland, The Hawaiian Islands, where she plans to continue her career as a talented esthetician and make-up artist.

Lena's experience traveling the states has given her an eclectic background which caters to all types of skin, hair texture and climate. For the past eight years, she has been specializing in eyebrow shaping and body waxing. Her philosophy is to frame and shape the eyebrow to suit each client's facial structure and personality - no two brows and no two people are alike.

From weddings, photo shoots, to personal care for clients, Lena extends her talents and unique ability to emulate the best version of her client's beauty.

Testimonials

 
I had never had my brows done before so I was a little unsure about what to expect. Lena put me at ease and made me feel comfortable from the get-go. I think it was a bonus that there was a huge blackout that morning, but Lena is resourceful enough to find ways to get in touch with her clients to reschedule as needed in case of circumstances beyond anyone's control. (We were able to keep our appointment.)
