Hello There & Welcome!
My name is Karen Laing, owner, clinical technician and artist of Laing Lashes & Skin Studio. Here’s my background: Corporate Paralegal 15 years, Dental Office Manager and Surgical Dental Assistant 7 years, 3xBeauty Queen, Pagent Judging, Pagent Co-Ordinator 7 years, 2 Modeling Schools (Excel & Barbizon), Theater Make-Up Artist, Multi-Media Artist, Permanent Cosmetics Artist, Eyebrow Design Artist, Eyelash Artist, Paramedical Tattoo Restoration Artist and now an Aesthetician....to be continued.
I have taken my love for art, make-up and vanity and merged it with my 20+ years experience of customer service, dental office management and perpetual pursuit of beauty to create a fabulous and rewarding career. And yes, if you are trying to add it up, I'm getting older (50+). I know what it's like to fight the battle of fat and wrinkles!

KAREN'S FAVORITE PRAYER
God, I offer myself to Thee... to build with me and do with me as Thy wilt. Relieve me of the bondage of self, so that I may better do Thy will. Take away my difficulties so that victory over them may bear witness to Thy Power, Thy Love and Thy Way of life. May I do Thy will always!
