After more than 23 years in the oil industry working for a leading service company, I decided it was time to follow my true passion — helping others look and feel their best.
In October 2024, I travelled to Sussex to begin my professional training with one of the industry’s most respected artists, Katy Jobbins at The Permanent Makeup Academy. From the very first day, I was completely captivated by the artistry and precision of permanent makeup.
By mid-November 2024, I had proudly completed my training and launched my journey as a certified artist. Fast-forward eight months, and I’m now happily based at Pink Lily, Carden Place in Aberdeen — spending each day doing what I love, surrounded by incredible clients who inspire me.
I’m deeply grateful to have transformed my career into a creative calling, helping each person who visits So Bare Faced leave feeling confident, radiant, and effortlessly themselves

What Our Fantastic Clients Says
I bloody love che at so bare faced!
I've been getting lip fillers for a few years and started to notice i had lost the pigmentation in my lips, went for a consultation with che and started my treatment of lip blush almost straight away, che was super friendly and professional, advised me oh shades that would suit me etc.
painless to the point I almost fell asleep she's super gentle!
I've been back today for my 6 week top up and honestly I'm so happy!
her work is amazing, if you haven't already or are hesitant go for it!
Highly recommended Che at So bare faced, she makes you feel so comfortable and always checking how you are through out your treatment. I got the lip blush and there is so much colours to choose from which is perfect. Very professional and felt at ease the whole time. Perfect for summer holidays or just day to day wear with a bit of gloss now
