About me
Hello, my name is Monica Dumbrava, and my journey into the world of beauty started in an unexpected place: the pharmacy. I first studied as a pharmacy assistant, driven by a strong desire to understand and support the healing process. However, as I became more familiar with the pharmaceutical industry, I realized that most products, especially medications, often come with side effects. This sparked something inside me, it made me want to find a path where I could combine my pharmaceutical knowledge with something softer, more delicate, and closer to natural beauty.
Looking back, I can see that my passion for beauty started much earlier. As a little girl, I was fascinated by my mother’s makeup kit. Every lipstick, every eyeshadow felt like a mysterious treasure with the power to transform. I would spend hours experimenting in front of the mirror, even though my older brother scolded me every time he caught me doing it. But in spite of his protests, I continued, captivated by the colors and the magic that I simply could not resist. Those moments became my very first lessons in beauty.
Later on, I took my first official step into this field by enrolling in a professional make-up course. During that training, I discovered something that drew me in completely: eye makeup. I realized that a woman’s gaze is her most powerful accessory, and I wanted to find ways to enhance it. That’s when I discovered eyelash extensions .... and it was love at first sight.
Over the years, I deepened my expertise through various courses, and by talking to my clients, I discovered a new need: many women wanted an expressive look, but in a natural way, without extensions. That insight was a turning point for me, and I immediately enrolled in a Lash Lift course. It became another passion of mine, and later, I went on to become a trainer, sharing my techniques and knowledge with others.
In addition, I studied professional cosmetology from A to Z, so that I could offer my clients complete, diverse, and high-quality services.
Today, after more than 10 years of dedication, passion, and experience, I am here to share with you the knowledge I have gained in this beautiful industry. For me, beauty is not only about aesthetics but it is about restoring confidence and bringing out the natural glow that every woman already has within herself.
