Aleksandra Bartosinska, the owner of L’ Alexia Atelier Aesthetics Laser Clinic & Permanent Make Up Institute, has pledged to provide free eyebrow and eyeliner semi-permanent makeup treatments to those undergoing cancer treatment or suffering from alopecia.

She operates her home salon near Yarm Road and hopes this initiative will provide support to those struggling with both the physical and emotional effects of illness.

Inside the salon (Image: ALEKSANDRA BARTOSINSKA) “Cancer treatments may be improving, but they are still cruel to a person’s appearance and well-being,” Aleksandra said.

“I want to help change that by offering these services for free. Semi-permanent makeup can improve appearance and help give people the motivation to fight their disease.”

Aleksandra continued: “For anyone who is unable to work because of illness, I want to make sure they still have access to something that can help them feel better about themselves.

“It’s a small thing I can do to make their journey easier.”
