Carmela's Story

Carmela’s Story

“For most cancer patients losing your hair is the one of the hardest parts of going through treatment. Changing your hair styles can change your whole look and your eyebrows are often what defines your facial features. The thought of losing mine was hard to deal with in 2009 when I was diagnosed.

As an active mum, wife and teacher who takes pride in how I look and unable to hide behind a desk all day, my insecurities became more apparent during this difficult period of my life. I happily wore wigs but I refused to spend an extra 30 minutes every morning pencilling on eyebrows. Apart from anything I’m not a professional and the thought of looking like one of the children had scribbled on my face was frightening.

After doing some research I decided I wanted to have them semi permanently tattooed so I visited a clinic local to me, more out of convenience than anything else. Although they were nice, the overall experience was not what I had hoped for and looking back I realised they were less interested in me and more about my wallet.

I was introduced to Geraldine not long after my mother-in-law visited her and incidentally wouldn’t stop raving about her new fabulous eyebrows so I booked a consultation immediately.”

“It’s been 6 years since I was diagnosed and I visit Geraldine twice a year for my top ups and each time she is as thorough and attentive as the first. The passion that she has for wanting to help people feel good about themselves is contagious and when she says she cares, she really does. I couldn’t recommend her any more than I already do.

I want to personally thank her for bringing back my confidence. Whether you are undergoing cancer treatment or not, she is the best at what she does and she has played a vital role in my road to full recovery.” - Carmela    
