When Erina was working for the cosmetic company in Japan, she was questioning the make up techniques which were intended “To make eyes look big”, “To make Asian women look more like Western women ” and “To try to make a woman look younger.”

She has always had a passion for makeup and esthetics. What she likes best about her chosen profession is making clients more beautiful, confident and happy by finding their own true beauty instead of trying to copy someone else’s look.  She kept pursuing her dream that she could establish a salon which provides services to allow all clients to be who they are no matter their age, feeling confident, happy and fulfilled.

Since Erina opened Gelisa Esthetic 慈恵理咲, which contains kanji from the names of her grandmother and 2 daughters name, in 2014, she has stressed a personable, clients focused service that is supportive of an individual’s self-esteem and confidence.  Her lessons are getting popular among clients not only in Tokyo, but has had clients come from Fukushima, Osaka, the United States, and Australia.
