MEET PIP 
Pip McGregor
Owner/Founder – Dermal Therapist & Micropigmentation Specialist

Pip was born and bred in Canterbury – a country girl who has always had a fascination with beauty and skin, “Mum kind of clicked I may be inclined to this industry when I used to run around the farm with shaped blue tack extensions stuck on my nails- then I did makeovers on whomever I could - using whatever I could”. A fascination with skin and beauty led to 10 years in Melbourne studying and working with the best in the industry. On coming back to NZ- “Its been great to be trained by the best in the business and to be able to bring world class treatments & knowledge home to NZ- we are definitely catching up as far as skin and health and treating a client holistically- and its been great to be a part of that.”

After starting an extremely successful & busy clinic in Timaru, Pip has relocated back to Christchurch - the home of Making Faces. “Making Faces to me has a clear direction, I want it to be boutique and personal , for our clients to be able to access knowledge on skin and health. I want to offer only the best products and technology, and look after each client as if they were family, and being boutique lets me achieve this”

The Cosmetic tattoo industry is fast paced and changing constantly and Pip is committed to being at the frontline of technology and techniques being introduced across the world. She was invited to attend the World Micropigmentation Congress in Berlin, and said the experience was eye opening. "Sometimes coming from way down under in New Zealand you can feel like we may be a touch behind- but it was exciting to see that we are right up there in terms of knowledge and skill set."

Pip’s designer brows will always be her #1 passion “correct brows can change the face more than ANY OTHER thing- except surgery”
