Karwal did areola tattooing — nipple tattoo — for a patient of hers who was a breast cancer survivor, and said they were both in tears by the end of it.

“It’s such a big blessing to give that confidence to the women and taking a little bit away from their suffering, its one thing that gives me so much happiness,” Karwal said.

In order to qualify for the program, potential clients are asked to email Karwal (kayaaesthetics@gmail.com) explaining which service they want and why they would benefit from it.

Potential clients who are not chosen for the free service may receive discounted prices.

Karwal said she was always known as the artist of the family who could copy things very well, and draw very well, and was noted for her henna tattooing skills.

“When I was young, I would do things for free for my family and friends like waxing and threading,” Karwal said.

In 2002, she moved to Canada and attended Humber College where she obtained her diploma in business marketing.

Working a full-time job, Karwal attended York University for her Human Resources degree.

One day, Karwal realized that she wasn’t fulfilling herself and that she wanted to do something else.

“My husband asked me what it was that I wanted to do,” Karwal said, to which she responded to him that she wanted to be an esthetician.

From there, Karwal said everything just seemed to “fall into place” so beautifully, like it was all meant to be.

Even the way she found some of her salon decor like her “Eyebrows speak louder than words,” photo was very meant to be.

Karwal said she was at a home decor store one day looking for salon decor. It was actually when she was cashing out other items, she spotted the perfect photos for her salon’s wall.

“It was just right there in front of my eyes, and I was like, OK, those are mine,” Karwal said.

“I haven’t looked back since.”
