About

Hello Beautiful,

Founder/Master Lash Artist, Certified Master Educator

With over 28 years in the fitness and beauty industry, I’ve had the privilege of collaborating with talented Canadian and American designers. But through it all, one thing has always deeply inspired me: the power of beauty to transform. It's not just about outward appearance—it's about empowering women to feel their most confident and powerful selves. This has been the driving force behind my career, fueling my every step.

Before stepping into the beauty world, I had the experience of building and running three successful businesses. I poured my heart and soul into each one, and while I found success, I knew something was missing. They didn’t fulfill me in the way I truly desired. I needed more—a deeper sense of purpose and a way to help others feel empowered. That’s when I turned to beauty.

I started my lash business over 10 years ago with one mission in mind: to fight for my financial independence and create something I could truly call my own. I wanted more than just a business; I wanted a life that reflected my values and allowed me to make a meaningful impact on others.

My family and I immigrated to Canada when I was three years old. English was my second language, and growing up in East Vancouver came with its own set of challenges. My parents divorced when I was eight, and I had to learn to navigate life on my own from a young age. At 19, I became a single mother, raising my son on my own. It was one of the hardest yet most rewarding experiences of my life. Finding a career that allowed me to set my own hours was crucial for me.

One day, while scrolling through Instagram, I discovered lash lifting. Without overthinking it, I decided to take a course. Six months later, I had mastered the technique and wanted to learn more. I then completed training in classic and volume eyelash extensions, and within a year, my client list grew rapidly. I was fully booked, and a year later, I took the leap into education. I’ve now been a certified lash educator for over 10 years, and teaching has become my true passion.

The beauty industry gave me more than just a career—it gave me freedom, fulfillment, and a sense of purpose. Educating and empowering other women has become my soul’s work. My mission is to inspire women to take control of their lives, to build a future where they can thrive on their terms.

My students are my pride and joy. Watching them grow, succeed, and make their mark in the beauty world fills me with immeasurable pride. I’m so proud of these incredible women, and I’d love for you to join our thriving community of strong, empowered individuals.

I can’t wait to meet you and help you discover your full potential!

With love and gratitude,

~ Monica

Chantelle

Educator

Hi, my name is Chantelle I’m an educator for Vancity Beauty Lounge. I have always had a passion for art and beauty and knew I wanted to be in the beauty industry, so I took Monica’s masterclass for brow lamination and lash lifts and instantly fell in love and knew it was exactly what I was suppose to be doing. Besides brow lamination and last lifts, I also specialize in microblading, teeth whitening and tooth gems. I love helping individuals feel confident within their natural beauty. I have a passion for teaching and am looking forward to sharing my knowledge and experiences with you ❤️.
