Bona Fide Beauty

They specialize in permanent makeup, including lip blush, nano and ombre brows, and dark lip neutralization, plus lash extensions. They also run small-group and one-on-one artist training for working lash and brow artists.

The studio is run by Chela Hansen, who has spent seven years focused on permanent makeup. Every appointment starts with brow mapping and colour theory so the result suits your face rather than a trend.

The Yaletown studio is by appointment only, so book ahead through their site or the Square booking link. Each brow and lip service includes a touch-up appointment in the price.

You will find them at 104-1020 Mainland Street in Yaletown, Vancouver. It is a calm studio setting, and visits are by appointment only.

Their permanent makeup is designed to fade softly over one to three years for a healed, natural look. The studio aims for subtle, everyday results rather than an obviously made-up finish.

Bring your favourite everyday lip product so Chela can colour-match to your skin tone. The healing process is straightforward, and a touch-up is included with every lip service.
