About Us

My name is Sophia van der Laak, and since March 2021, I’ve proudly owned and operated Salon Sophia in Kleve.

A Passion That Grows with Experience

My journey into the beauty industry came later in life. Like many others, I began to notice changes in my skin, and wrinkles made me curious about the possibilities within the world of beauty and aesthetics. This personal experience sparked my passion and led me to explore solutions, starting with tattoo removal—a treatment I sought for myself.

Expanding My Expertise

As I delved deeper into the field, I discovered the transformative potential of permanent make-up. This motivated me to not only learn more but to become skilled in the art myself. I pursued extensive training in permanent make-up at Ecuri Cosmetics, alongside specialized courses in various beauty treatments such as:

• Mesotherapy
• Microdermabrasion
• Teeth Whitening at Xtreme Smile
• Waxing at Smooth&go
• Gel Polish Nails at Penso Nijmegen
• Pigment Spot Removal at Safety4you

Each of these certifications reflects my commitment to offering high-quality, professional services. They are proudly displayed in my salon, alongside a special certificate for the adoption of “Mare,” a seal from Pieter Buren—a symbol of my personal values and dedication to care.

Dedicated to Safety and Standards

At Salon Sophia, I strictly adhere to all hygiene and safety guidelines, particularly in the areas of tattoo removal and permanent make-up. My goal is to ensure every treatment is not only effective but also carried out in the safest and most comfortable environment possible.
