A Sydney eyebrow artist busted buying cocaine during Covid lockdown has started proceedings to have her conviction overturned.
Kristin Fisher was convicted and fined $550 after she failed to appear in Waverley Court on Tuesday charged with possessing a prohibited drug and failing to comply with public health orders.
But on Friday, a date was set for Fisher, who goes by her married name Barnes in court documents, to fight the criminal conviction.
Her solicitor Michael Bowe hopes to have her conviction annulled when the matter returns to Waverley Court on October 6.
Fisher insists she wasn't aware of the Tuesday court date and would have been present if she had known, Mr Bowe said.

The 36-year-old cooled off at Nielson Park Beach, in Sydney's east, on Friday with a friend as her lawyer lodged the legal application.
She's maintained a relatively low profile since the latest court hearing, but shared several pictures relaxing in the sun on Friday afternoon.
