About Me

Hey there!

My Name is Mina

I am a Licensed Esthetician and 2X certified eyelash artist. I studied esthetics at the AVEDA Institute of Chapel Hill. Over the past few years, I have received multiple lash extension certifications for both classic and volume lashes. 

I was born in Queens, New York. However I grew up in the small town of Holly Springs (although, it's not so small anymore). After graduating from HSHS (GO HAWKS!!) I was only 18 years old with a intense passion for makeup, when I began my career in the makeup industry in 2013. Providing makeup services as a professional makeup artist. I have dedicated the over 9 years to the beauty industry, continually perfecting my technique with makeup and eyelash extensions. 

I have had the privilege to do the makeup for multiple weddings, professional photo shoots, proms, cosplays, and the North Carolina State beauty pageants to name a few, while still maintaining my job in the dental field and being a mom. I've also have had the privilege to be featured in Buzzfeed. My work as a makeup artist has even reached Europe, resulting in me being featured in Stylight magazine in 2015.

For almost 9 years I juggled my dental career, my makeup artist career and motherhood, which made me realize my passion was in the beauty industry, which prompted me to pursue my own business in the beauty industry exclusively. After having my second child, I took a leap of faith and walked away from the dental field to open Lash But Not Least. LBNL prides itself for bringing happiness and confidence to anyone whom may walk through our doors. A safe place for people to feel pampered, unwind and enjoy the luxurious experience we have to offer. I practice OSHA safety precaution. I also have my Bloodborne Pathogen, CPR, AED, and First Aid certifications.
