MEET CHRISTINA
A curator of the full, au naturale, love-what-you-were-born-with brow, Christina began her career in 1999 specializing in brows and makeup. With over 25 years of experience, passion, and artistry, she has become known for creating naturally beautiful brows that enhance — never overpower — the face.
Rooted deeply in holistic beauty and intentional self-care, Christina believes beauty should nourish both the skin and the spirit. Her approach blends modern beauty techniques with restorative rituals, creating experiences that feel grounding, healing, and deeply personal. She is passionate about educating clients on skincare, makeup, and wellness practices that are safe, sustainable, and supportive of both personal and planetary health.
Her philosophy is simple:
First Skin, Then Makeup, Always Brows.
At Berkana, beauty is about honoring your natural features, simplifying your routines, and creating rituals that help you slow down and reconnect with yourself. Christina encourages a mindful approach to beauty — choosing products with integrity, using makeup to highlight rather than hide, and caring for yourself with intention and kindness.
Because at the end of the day, true beauty doesn’t rinse off.
