Weiping Wyllie - universally known as Ping - studied medicine at university in China, and for more than 20 years was a gynaecologist in a major hospital, rising to senior positions. In 1994 she expanded her skills, undertaking training in beauty therapy both in China and in Hong Kong, and opening her own beauty business.
Ping then moved to New Zealand and in 2006 opened her own business specialising in semi-permanent make-up.
In 2009 she underwent further training, in London, England, where she not only gained expertise in the latest techniques for recreating eyebrows but also graduated, with the highest honours, as a trainer.
Ping is the first qualified Microblader in New Zealand and now trains others her on unique skillsets.
