On February 6, Merim Moskvichova, owner and operator of Lashes and Brows Lounge, marked a significant milestone with an official ribbon-cutting ceremony at her new business, located at 5008 – 50 Avenue in downtown Vermilion. The event was attended by Town of Vermilion Councillor Kirby Whitlock, Interim CAO Mike van der Torre, and Economic Development Officer Mary Lee Prior, who presented Moskvichova with a welcome plaque on behalf of the town.
Moskvichova’s journey to business ownership has been both inspiring and determined. Originally from Ukraine, she and her five-year-old son moved to Vermilion two years ago, seeking a fresh start.
“In March two years ago, I moved from Ukraine because of the war. I worked at the Days Inn Hotel at the front desk and in the restaurant. I wanted to spend more time with my child and pursue something on my own because the timing felt right,” shared Moskvichova. “When I found out this space was available for rent, I took the opportunity. I painted, furnished it, and purchased all my supplies and equipment.”
Moskvichova was first trained in beauty services back in Ukraine and currently offers lash tinting, lifting, and brow shaping and tinting. She also has plans to introduce lash extensions within the next few weeks.
“At my lounge, I combine expert beauty services with a passion for making every client feel their best. From lashes to brows, I specialize in enhancing natural beauty while creating a relaxing and enjoyable experience,” she said.
Expressing her enthusiasm for her work, Moskvichova emphasized that her business is not just about beauty but also about customer satisfaction. “I absolutely love my job. It’s not just about enhancing looks—it’s about bringing smiles to my customers’ faces. Whether you’re here for a quick brow shape or a full lash makeover, you can expect top-notch service, all while enjoying great music in a comfortable atmosphere.”
She hopes that each client leaves feeling confident and happy and invites the community to visit her Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61571494021053 for contact information and services.
