the face behind the lashes

licensed esthetician & lash specialist

Hey there, I'm Vanessa! Thanks for considering me as your esthetician. I’m absolutely passionate about what I do and making my clients feel like the best version of themselves. Consider me your number one hype girl, boosting your confidence every step of the way!

I’ve been spreading joy in the beauty industry since 2018. A proud Sagittarius, vegetarian, and happily married to my Russian better half, I'm also a professional Auntie with three nephews and one niece. Tiny things hold a special place in my heart—give me any miniature version of a regular item, and you'll make my day!

My current obsessions include BTS (of course!) and I’ve been sipping on rose green tea and strawberry milk tea while bonding with my husband over PS4 games. When it comes to munchies, sushi and pasta are the way to go! And, like many, I'm on a quest to discover life's true purpose.

You might wonder, "Why 'Baby Tofu'?" Back in beauty school in 2018, I wanted a name that felt unique and resonated with me. As a vegetarian who loves tofu, "Baby Tofu" just clicked! So it’s not that deep. Just a fun way to express my love for all things leafy and green!

If I weren't sprinkling magic in the beauty world, I'd be following my artistic calling . With an eye for detail, I enjoy tiny, intricate tasks. One day, I plan to dabble in pottery or crocheting and fully embrace my inner grandma.

Thanks for stopping by, and I can't wait to help you feel fabulous!

    Vanessa is absolutely amazing! I’ve been to previous lash artists and they’ve always told me not to wash/ or get my lashes wet. Vanessa let’s me know that I can wash them first day. Shows me she’s confident in her retention! I’ve had my lashes for a week now and I haven’t lost one. When before I notice them on my clothes, bed , and right after I wash. Definitely always going to her.

    I went through a couple lash techs before I found Vanessa and now I'm never going to anyone else. I came to her with patchy and plucked lashes from another tech, and Vanessa nursed them back to health while still making them look fab. The vibes in her suite are immaculate and she will speak with you about what style and size would look best. Come enjoy a lash nap and let her work her wizard magic on you! You'll find a true professional while also making a sweet friend.

  • what people are saying

    When I moved to Texas, I stopped getting my lashes done because I was so nervous about finding someone amazing to do them here. I literally waited over a year before I finally booked an appointment. My friend recommended Vanessa, and I could pretty much immediately tell she is someone I’d trust with my lashes based on the obvious attention to detail/perfection and overall aesthetic showcased through her posts alone. I creeped her insta for a while, and I’m so glad I finally booked an appointment because she (beyond) met all my expectations, and I immediately felt comfortable in her chair (aside from a small headache I developed during my very first appointment, which was literally remedied by my next appointment because she had ordered new pillows—now it’s the comfiest chair I’ve ever been in!) Vanessa really listens to and cares about her clients and their needs in addition to executing perfect lashes. Her attention to detail and thoroughness are bar none, and I always leave my appointments feeling amazing.
