Andrea Newberry
Effingham, Illinois
Andrea immediately fell in love with the beauty industry when she attended LakeLand College in 2017, pursuing her Cosmetology license. Soon after receiving her license, Andrea began working as a booth renter in a popular salon in her area. This is where her passion for lashes and brows blossomed. In early 2018, she received her first certification in lash lifting with classic and volume lash extensions following soon after. After that came five years of consistently working at mastering her skills and receiving multiple certifications for lash and brow treatments. This is ultimately when she fell in love with the Elleebana brand.
