NOW OFFERING 3D AREOLA TATTOOING AND SCAR CAMOUFLAGE AT AN INTRODUCTORY RATE
Toronto, Ontario, Canada
Hi! I'm Lara! (... and I definitely put on too much self tanner before that photo!)
I will give you brows that you would want to wake up on a Sunday morning with, because natural always looks better. My approach to eyebrows is very conservative, both in shape and color choice. We can always go bigger and darker at the touch up, and we will slowly create your ideal brow together.
I am honoured to have received the title of PhiBrows Royal Artist in 2020. Phi Academy is a world-renowned, leading, beauty academy specializing in permanent makeup. I am humbled and proud to be one of only 6 artists granted this Royal title in Toronto out of about 300 talented artists.
Phi Artists are the best in the world due to their extensive training, high standards, and top of the line products.
In 2021, I travelled to Pennsylvania to learn 3D nipple and areola reconstruction via Micropigmentation as well as scar camouflage from Mandy Sauler at the Sauler Institute (in my opinion, the most knowledgeable and talented artist in this field). My passion for healing through art is insurmountable and I hope to help as many breast cancer survivors, transgender clients, and many others, as I can.
My background:
Born in South Africa and raised in Toronto, I grew up in a very creative and artistic and home. My mother is an interior decorator, designer, and painter. Her father was an architect and the family tree goes on! I went to an arts school as a child and remember always being the last student to submit work because I would not stop until it was perfect! I carry this perfectionism into microblading and aim for every procedure to be better than the previous. All of my clients can vouch for how meticulous and detail-oriented I am. Every millimetre makes a difference!
After I completed a bachelor of Psychology at McGill University, I was a full-time Behavioural Therapist for children with Autism for 5 years. It was a challenging yet unbelievably rewarding career. I taught kids basic skills that we tend to take for granted such as communication and making eye-contact. When I stumbled upon the world of microblading on Instagram I instantly became mesmerized by the realistic results and life changing transformations. I built Lara Jade Beauty while keeping a full time job by working evenings and weekends until I became too busy to continue doing both. I loved working with the children and making positive changes to their lives, but I dreamed of turning my side-job passion into a career. In December 2019, I decided to take a leap of faith, quit my full time job, follow my passion, and dive into the world of beauty and aesthetics with no other distractions. Three months later, I was awarded the prestigious title of Royal Artist. Microblading gave me the ability to continue helping people and change lives through art. It's not about changing someone's appearance, it's about changing their confidence.
You can find me at working at Lara Jade Beauty at Yonge and Eglinton Sunday-Tuesday and at Brows By Yael in Leslieville Thursday-Saturday.
Thank you for visiting my site and for considering me, or choosing me, to be your artist. I am flattered and humbled by how busy I have gotten so quickly. Thank you for trusting me <3

What is PhiBrows?
PhiBrows is a specific style of microblading in which the shape of the eyebrows is calculated according to your facial morphology and golden ratio (Phi 1,618). No stencils or cookie-cutter brows are used. The shape is unique to you and perfectly suited to match your facial characteristics. “Hair strokes” are added in the same direction as your natural hair so they blend in seamlessly and are indistinguishable from the real hair. Phi tools and pigments are used which are top of the line in performance and safety – think of the Royal Royce of Microblading tools.
Why choose a Phi Artist?
Firstly- our pigments won't change colors! You don't have to worry about ending up with blue or red eyebrows in a few years.
Secondly - training! Phi Academy is the world-renowned leader in beauty education. The Phi method of microblading consistently produces high quality results with an emphasis on very precise hair strokes, perfect symmetry, and a beautiful shape that compliments your individual features. All certified artists have been through a very specific, demanding, 6-month training program using the highest standards. We have been taught by masters of the art and are absolute perfectionists.
Phi Artists use the highest quality tools and pigments to give you exceptional results while ensuring your safety.
