Sonia's Lash & Brow opened its door at No. 3 Paisley Street — on Footscray's original "Harley Street," a Victorian row of specialists' consulting rooms where people have always come for the practitioner who has done one thing, properly, for a long time.
"With a wide range of service offerings from lash extension, lash lift, threading, waxing, brow lamination, facial specialists in dermaplaning, hair colour, balayage, keratin treatments and more."
The studio's craft reflects the community around it. Eyebrow threading and henna art are genuine multicultural handwork traditions — not add-ons to a franchise menu, but the centre of what the studio does. Every appointment is a careful, skilled act.
Booking is by phone — 0435 045 229 or 0473 942 244 — so you speak to a person who knows the work before you walk through the door.

Threading cotton drawn across a brow. Henna mapped freehand across skin. These are crafts — not machines, not shortcuts — and they take years to do well.
The studio's aim is never to impose a look — it's to find the shape, lift and colour that already belongs to your face, and reveal it properly.
The heritage row of specialists on Paisley Street has always attracted people who care about what they do. Sonia's sits in that same tradition — a beauty specialist in a street of specialists.
