Reserve Your AppointmentSophie trained in Pakistan, refined her craft serving Dubai's most discerning clientele, and brought her boutique studio to Kitsilano in 2015. Over 13 years she's shaped tens of thousands of brows — including some of Vancouver's most-photographed faces.
Her philosophy is simple: a brow should never look "done." It should look like the version of you that's had eight hours of sleep, a sunny walk along Kits Beach, and just the right amount of confidence.
Now serving clients across all of Metro Vancouver — from Kitsilano to Richmond, North Shore to Coquitlam.
Based in Kitsilano on West 4th Avenue, we welcome clients from every corner of Metro Vancouver. Beauty this good is worth the trip.

Yes — Sophie's chair fills up quickly, especially on evenings and weekends. Book online 24/7 via Yocale or call 604-736-6245.
Brow lamination typically lasts 4–6 weeks. We recommend a refresh every 6–8 weeks paired with a tint and shape. Avoid water and steam for 24 hours after treatment.
Microblading is ideal for sparse or over-plucked brows but isn't suited to very oily skin. We always start with a consultation to recommend the right technique — microblading, ombré powder, or combination brows.
Threading is gentler on delicate skin, more precise around the brow, and uses only 100% cotton thread — no chemicals. Waxing is faster for larger areas like legs, arms and bikini.
