Aya Hamed
Master Artist/Owner
Hello! I’m Aya Hamed, the owner and lead artist at Aya Beauty Studio, proudly located in the heart of Ottawa. With over 10 years of experience in the beauty industry, I have the expertise to handle everything from the simplest to the most complex cases with precision and care. I specialize in the latest advanced techniques in permanent makeup, including nano brows, lip blush/neutralization, and piercings. We also offer customizable 1:1 training sessions and mentoring for students every month!
POWDERED | NANO BROWS
Nano brows is permanent eyebrow enhancement technique that uses a tiny, precise needle (known as a “nano needle”) to either mimic realistic hair strokes or create a soft, powdery effect. This method is a modern twist on traditional eyebrow tattooing or microblading, but the key difference lies in the use of a much finer needle, which allows for more delicate, detailed work. The result is ultra-fine, natural-looking brows that appear fuller and more defined, without the harsh, artificial look often associated with traditional tattooing techniques.
POWDERED | NANO BROWS
Designed to create eyebrows with a soft powder effect using a super thin needle called “nano” and a permanent makeup device similar to a tattoo gun. Nano brows can last between 1-3 years depending on how your body breaks down pigment. This technique is great for clients that have oily skin because it takes time for pigment to breakdown under skin. Skip your 10 minute brow routine and wake up to gorgeous smudge proof eyebrows!
HAIRSTROKE | HYBRID BROWS
This is a new technique that uses an ultra-thin needle (similar to acupuncture) that can actually mimic the diameter and dimension of real hair in the skin. This is great for clients that suffer from hair loss such as: cancer patients that finished chemo, thyroid issues, alopecia or for clients that prefer that feathered natural hair look. You can combine powder with hair strokes resulting in combo/hybrid brows.
LIP BRUSH | NEUTRALIZATION
Lip blush is a technique designed to enhance your natural lip color, define the shape of your lips, and create the illusion of fuller, more symmetrical lips. It’s perfect for clients who have lost lip color or definition, especially after lip fillers. We also offer lip neutralization, a highly sought-after service that requires extensive knowledge of color theory and years of experience—something not all artists are skilled in. Our experts specialize in addressing complex cases, including melanin-rich lips, hyperpigmented lips, cleft lips, and other unique lip concerns.
LIP BRUSH | NEUTRALIZATION
Lip Blush is the latest in the permanent makeup industry which enhances the beauty of the natural lip colour, improving the shape of the lips, giving definition and the illusion of fullness. The procedure involves depositing pigment into the lips with a fine needle, creating a soft, natural-looking tint that can range from subtle to more vibrant hues.
Lip blush neutralization is a specific technique within the lip blush procedure used to correct and balance the natural color of the lips, particularly for individuals with lips that have unwanted undertones, such as dark, purple, or ashy tones. It involves the use of special pigments that are designed to “neutralize” or balance out these problematic tones by adding a counteracting color.

WHAT CLIENTS ARE SAYING
Aya was so incredibly kind and professional with my lip blushing service. I have asymmetry and I struggle with melasma so my pigmentation and shape isn’t the easiest to work with. Needless to say, she worked with me to find the best shape and colour for my lips. I wanted “natural but with oomph!” I love them! She was funny, kind and her new studio is extra gorgeous. It’s super vulnerable to be trusting someone to tattoo your lips, but I felt safe in her capable hands. Happy I chose to get my service done by her and looking forward to seeing her for my touch up and further services in the future. Thank you!

Life changing experience. Aya is so compassionate and humble, allows you to feel comfortable. Was extremely anxious getting my eyebrows done — and she reassured me throughout the whole process. I was shocked by the results because I hated my old work. She is a miracle worker and knows her stuff. She was able to give me a natural look. I wish I did this sooner!!!

I went to get my 3 month old daughters ear pierced and Aya did a spectacular job making her feel comfortable and piercing her ears once my daughter felt comfortable. Thank you Aya for your excellent service. I will be referring anyone looking to get a piercing to you!
