About the Artist
I’m Galina, the heart and hands behind Connections by GD — a place where beauty meets confidence. I’m a passionate permanent makeup artist and certified laser specialist, dedicated to helping people feel beautiful in their own skin.
My journey began in 2015, when what started as a hobby quickly became a calling. Over the years, I’ve refined my craft, constantly learning and growing to provide clients with results they love.
In 2020, I joined the talented team at JK Skin Aesthetics in Petersfield, and in March 2025, I proudly opened my own studio in Portsmouth — a space designed to offer comfort, care, and confidence to everyone who walks through the door.
Today, I collaborate with incredible professionals across hair, nails, and aesthetics, creating a welcoming community built on trust and connection.
Whether you’re looking to enhance your features with permanent makeup, remove unwanted tattoos, or feel smooth and confident with laser hair removal, my mission is simple — to help YOU look and feel your absolute best.
