About Me

My name is Kiyo Tagawa (Kiki), I arrived in Sydney, Australia just under 8 years ago from Japan, with only two words of English ‘Thank you” ‘I am sorry’ and little money, I studied English and management while working full-time to pay for tuition fees.

I was working for $8 per hour at a bakery shop and Japanese restaurant for ridiculous amount of hours back in 2013, I was working for peanuts. (The minimum hourly rate in NSW was $19.) $8 per hour was not enough to cover all my expenses in Sydney which has a high cost of living. My English was that poor that I could not get a job where I can earn decent money. I felt miserable, inadequate and had low esteem at times, I wanted to change my life and do something better so that I could be confident. At my lowest point, I decided to take an Eyelash extensions course, and felt determined to create a positive change.

After the eyelash extensions training course and months of practice, I started to offer eyelash extension services in my room in a shared apartment in eastern suburb, a year later I moved to northern beaches and continued to make ladies beautiful. During this time, I was also offering a mobile service where I travelled around suburb to suburb in Sydney. I have encountered so many wonderful people and have met many celebrities.

A short time after I decided to open my first Kikilashes shop in Cremorne, Sydney, then after two successful years I opened two more KikiLashes one in Willoughby, Sydney and another in CrowsNest, Sydney. I now manage three stores with 15 staff members as well as being a principal lash artist at KikiLashes.

I have never looked back, and my passion continues to grow. All from those small beginnings, my dreams have become reality. It was never easy, but Trust me, it is going to be worth it. My next mission is to give aspiring lash artists the necessary skills and confidence to be able to start their own lash business – I hope to contribute to your new career in some way and would love to share my lash journey with you.
