Nice to meet you. I’m Monique.

Originally from South Africa, I relocated to the Netherlands three and a half years ago. With over 15 years of experience as an eyebrow specialist and 7+ years mastering permanent make-up, I've dedicated my career to creating natural, timeless brows.

My philosophy has always been “less is more”—enhancing your unique beauty without overpowering it. Since 2015, I’ve specialized in Microblading and now using the latest technology, offering machine hairstroke brows (Hyperrealism brows)—an advanced, painless technique designed to create the most natural, hyper-detailed results. Whether you’re looking to fill in sparse areas, correct asymmetry, or achieve your dream brow shape, I’m here to make it happen with precision and care.

At my studio, I combine artistry and advanced techniques with EU-regulated pigments and hygiene protocols. Every treatment is tailored to you, ensuring results that beautifully complement your features.

I look forward to meeting you,

Monique
