Brows on point - See Subiaco (2025)

Ready for your best brows ever? Katarina Callegari may just be a magician when it comes to creating the perfect face framers.

Ask any woman and she’ll tell you that having perfect eyebrows doesn’t just change your face, it also changes your confidence.

And helping women’s confidence flourish is what Katarina Callegari of Studio Katarina has built her business around.

“Brows frame your face; they can make you look older, younger, or surprised if the shape isn’t quite right, it’s incredible how a well-shaped brow can boost confidence and transform your entire look,” Katarina says.

Studio Katarina specialises in cosmetic tattooing; they also can tint and shape, and offer specialist facials and paramedical tattooing.

On their sixth birthday I sat down with Katarina to talk beauty.

BL What was the vision for Studio Katarina?

KC I started Studio Katarina because the approach I wanted to take with my clients just wasn’t feasible in a more traditional setting. At Studio Katarina, I prioritise quality time with each client. I conduct thorough consultations and extended appointment times to ensure everyone feels safe and confident in their decisions, with absolutely no pressure or rush. By limiting my schedule, I can focus on providing the best experience possible, all while continuously up-skilling myself and my team. Sure, there might be a wait to see me, but I believe this thoughtful, unhurried approach resonates with my clients. They seem to appreciate the care and attention they receive.

BL You specialise in cosmetic tattooing, why is it so good?

KC When I first started with regular brows, my goal was always to specialise in cosmetic tattooing because of its incredible transformative power, especially with something as simple as brows. I wanted to offer a service that boosts self-esteem and empowers people. I often see women who have neglected their appearance for years for various reasons, and when they decide to make a change, fixing their eyebrows is top of the list. Being able to provide that transformation is priceless.

BL Can you look at a brow and know how to fix it?

KC Yes! When I look at someone, I can’t help but visualise their brows in my head. While we often discuss brow tattoos, clients are often surprised by the difference a simple brow reshape makes.

BL Can we all have good brows?

KC Absolutely. Eyebrows are unique . . . our goal is to enhance that. If you weren’t naturally blessed with great brows, cosmetic tattooing can work wonders, even for those with no hair at all. This includes clients dealing with conditions like alopecia, trichotillomania (the urge to pull hair), or those undergoing chemotherapy. No matter the situation, we can help create brows you’ll love.

BL Congratulations on six years in business, why did you choose Subiaco?

KC Thank you. Reaching six years feels like a significant milestone, it represents the solid foundation we’ve built through hard work. I chose Subiaco because it’s a beautiful, vibrant suburb with lots to offer. For my clients, it’s a one-stop shop sort of suburb. I adore working in this fantastic community.

BL Tell us about your specialist treatments?

KC Over the years, Team Katarina has grown, and I’m lucky to have some incredibly talented minds and hands working alongside me. We specialise in beauty, and our newest addition is skin treatments. Clients have been asking us for skin tips for a while, so it felt like the perfect time to expand. In addition, we offer lash lifts, brow tints and brow lamination. As the head tattooist, I’ll be shifting my focus more towards my paramedical specialisation. I’m passionate about helping clients with scar treatments and providing areola/nipple tattoos for those who have undergone mastectomies. It’s incredibly rewarding work that I’m honoured to do.

BL Whose brows in celebrity land
do you admire?

I’m really loving the brows of Dua Lipa, Hailey Bieber, and Megan Fox. We’re definitely in the brow lamination era, and I’m all for those big, fluffy looks.

BL And finally, what’s one beauty product you can’t live without?

KC Just one? If I had to choose, it would be brow gel. It’s my everyday essential.
