About Me

Hi, I'm Karina, founder of Haus of Karina Academy.
What started as a passion for making women feel confident through beauty quickly became something much bigger. Over the years, I've had the privilege of building a fully booked lash business, working with incredible clients, and experiencing the freedom that comes from creating a career on your own terms.
As my journey evolved, so did my purpose.
I realised there was a gap in the education available to aspiring lash artists. Many courses teach you how to apply lashes, but very few teach you how to build a successful business around them. The reality is that beautiful lash sets alone don't create a long-term career. Without confidence, business knowledge, client experience and ongoing support, many talented artists struggle to turn their passion into a sustainable income.
That is exactly why I created Haus of Karina Academy.
My goal isn't simply to certify students—it's to mentor them through the beginning of their journey and provide the education I wish I'd had when I first started. Every course has been designed with intention, combining detailed, accredited training with practical business knowledge, ongoing mentorship and real-world advice that extends far beyond the treatment room.
I believe education should leave you feeling confident, supported and genuinely prepared to build a business you're proud of.
More than anything, I want to give women the freedom of choice.
The freedom to choose their working hours.
The freedom to choose who they work with.
The freedom to build financial independence.
The freedom to spend more time with family, travel, pursue new opportunities or simply create a life that feels aligned with their own goals.
Success looks different for everyone, and my mission is to give every student the skills, confidence and support to build a career that works for them.
