About Carla Goycochea, Founder and Creator of Masterpiece Beauty Academy LLC
Once again, thank you for being here! I have always been passionate for everything related to beauty, but it wasn’t until 2005 - when I held my first job at a hair salon - that I savored what this career was about.
I have worked as a receptionist, assistant, manager and lastly, I decided to put my skills to service and became a beautician. I have been a certified Brow Pigmentation Artist since 2016, Makeup Artist and Eyelash Extensions Artist since 2010. I am also a certified PhiAcademy Craft Master (educator) in the Phibrows, Powderbrows, Airbrows and Philashes techniques. This has been a dream come true as helping others build a career, is my absolute passion.
The opportunity to explore different areas of this industry along with the outstanding education I have received, has allowed me to recognize the importance of not only offering magnificent services but also establishing enduring relationships with clients and students. I put my heart and dedication into every single work my hands create, and I am thankful that the results bring so much happiness to those who put their trust in me. Providing exceptional customer service from our first contact to the moment you leave my academy, and thereafter, is my biggest accomplishment!
