From the second you walk in to BBM, you’ll feel comfortable and welcome.

You can tell from the moment you walk in how much everyone in there loves their job. Marcella and Erin have cultivated such a special team of women who truly work as a team, and make every single person feel welcome – it is literally like going to your friends house. It is women owned and women run and it is spectacular. Cannot recommend this place enough – Marcella has done 3 fine line tattoos for me, and I’ll be back for more services.

I cannot say enough about these amazing ladies.

I got everything I needed in preparation for my wedding. Brows, eyelashes, nails… Marcella, Erin and all the staff will make you feel like family when you walk through the door. On the day of my wedding I was greeted with mimosa’s and fruit. My makeup and all other services were fabulous. Beautiful and welcoming space filled with amazing women.

Enjoy the BBM treatment.

Marcella - Lead artist & founder

Marcella Masci

Lead artist & founder PMU Expert and established Masterclass PMU Trainer

Born and raised in Brazil, I grew up watching my mother thrive in the beauty industry. Every day after school, I would walk to my mom’s beauty spa and wait for her to finish work. I would watch closely as she performed the beauty services on her clients, and I always dreamed of the day that would be me!

I started shadowing my mom’s work, and eventually started performing beauty services myself by the age of 17. Right then and there, I knew this was my passion and that it would be my future. I graduated University with a degree in Business and Economics; however, I knew my heart was elsewhere, and I couldn’t ignore it.

In 2009, I moved from Brazil to Canada and jumped back into the beauty industry to never look back. I started offering Permanent Makeup services on a part-time basis until leaving my full-time position to pursue my passion which quickly transformed into my career! I can finally say that I have succeeded in bringing the “Brazilian Beauty Concept”, of a one stop beauty shop, with me to Canada. Welcome to BBM Ottawa!
