BEAUTY Boutique

Afra Beauty Centre has a very casual and welcoming vibe, what were your goals with creating a space like this dedicated to women’s beauty and do you feel that you have accomplished these goals to the standard you wanted?

My main goal behind Afra Beauty Centre was to create an atmosphere that resembles my aura and personality; comforting, welcoming and natural. My goals and accomplishments are an ongoing cycle, and I am always setting new goals to achieve, no matter what.

What is the story behind Afra Beauty Centre – how did it come into being?

I’ve wanted to open my own beauty salon since I was a little girl... I started taking courses in my early 20s to excel in makeup, and the rest is all self-taught. I believe if you’re truly passionate about something you should pursue it no matter what!

In your role specifically, what are the most challenging and the most rewarding aspects?

The most challenging aspect of my role would definitely be to set high standards that are uniquely recognised in such a competitive market and industry. As for the most rewarding, it would definitely be the community I’ve built through my career, I have a supportive and loving client base that are always inspiring me to keep doing what I love. In modern times when social media has taken over our every ritual and minute of the day, it’s important to de-stress. Can you share with us a little bit about the brands and treatments you would recommend at Afra Beauty Centre that could help to ease stress…

Other than a relaxing massage and moroccan bath, I believe our natural hair treatments are a must de-stress routine for all girls. Not only will you feel good during your treatment at the salon, but also leave ensuring the best results! You are first and foremost known for your amazing makeup skills. Share with us the journey and passion for makeup – when did you get into it and what keeps you excited about the makeup industry?

Since I was 13, I had an intense interest in makeup and beauty in general. I have taken multiple intensive makeup courses, including a makeup masterclass with Makeup Forever. After I excelled in the world of makeup, I started expanding and took courses in tattoo removal, lash lifting, and microblading in Lebanon.
