get to know hope.Hi! I’m Hope!
I am a brow artist, aesthetician, & makeup artist at Salon Society. Beauty has always been a passion of mine and working at Salon Society has given me the opportunity to pursue my dreams of working with skin care and makeup! I am BROW OBSESSED and absolutely love making brow dreams a reality! Brows are one of those key features that highlight our natural beauty; I adore shaping and creating stunning brows that will give my clients new confidence! Whether you are looking for shaping, tinting, laminating, or microblading – I am your gal! I have been absolutely loving every second of my skin education and learning so much about medical aesthetics services: microneedling, dermaplaning, facials, and product knowledge – oh my! I am extremely passionate about treating acne-prone & melanin-rich skin and I have focused my training and education to make it my specialty! As a person of colour who struggles with hormonal acne this area of skincare is where my heart is. |
My passion has led me to develop the SASO Acne Bootcamp to help all individuals that struggle with acne to reach their skincare goals. I love that the services I provide as a Skin Specialist utilize research-backed techniques and products to improve the health of the skin, offer a relaxing treatment, and give my clients new confidence!
Where medical aesthetics offers a scientific approach to beauty, I love that makeup artistry gives me a creative approach. I have been obsessed with makeup since I was little, so pursuing training, being taught and mentored by some of the best in the business, and working as a makeup artist has been an absolute dream!!
When I am not in the salon working, you can find me reading a book or listening to a podcast (social injustice & spirituality are my personal fav), grabbing an overpriced coffee, and going for an excessive amount of walks (unless it is winter, then I’ll be cozy inside). I am an avid fan of 90s RnB + Hip Hop music and 90s movies. My absolute fav movie is Love Don’t Cost A Thing (it came out in 2003 but it’s close enough). I love, love, love streetwear clothing – give me all the oversized hoodies, baggy jeans & cargo pants, & Nikes. And I would absolutely love to meet you and chat about your brow dreams, skin goals, or your special event makeup!

love notes from clients.
"Hope is so kind but has a fun bubbly vibe about her. The facial was amaaazing and I was so calm afterwards that I needed to take a minute to come back to real life! Will definitely be back"
"I got my eyebrows microbladed by Hope and I cannot stop looking at myself in the mirror—they look so good! I am someone who doesn't wear makeup often and usually only fills in my eyebrows before going out in public and now I don't have to. Hope is so knowledgeable about everything she's doing and really takes her time to make sure your needs are met and the eyebrows are just right. When she makes adjustments she explains her reasoning in a way that's easy to understand which I really appreciated! She also uses an awesome numbing cream so I didn't even feel a thing! I could have taken a nap during the appointment and I'm sure there were moments where I almost did doze off because of how relaxed I was. If you're thinking of getting microblading done, absolutely do it! And make sure you go see Hope, I'm very impressed with her work and will keep recommending her to everyone!"
