Swelling can happen if you have sensitive skin, or are taking medicines that irritate the skin including aspirin and antibiotics. With proper post procedure care the inflammation can go away in a couple of hours. The application of an antibiotic like Bacitracin is recommended for the next 3 days applying a light layer twice a day and before bed. Cold compresses work quickly to bring swelling down. This should be done right after procedure and to be repeated two hours later. … [Read more...]
Do Your Homework Before Permanent Make-Up
October 10, 2014
Dissatisfaction with your permanent make-up can lead to frustration and costly corrections. Sometimes when the pigment is too deep, it can be more difficult to remove. As with any permanent make-up procedure, including corrective procedures, doing your homework is the key factor for your own satisfaction. In the past few days, I have spoken to two ladies who are unhappy with their eyebrows. Their desire to have the work done overshadowed the questions they needed to ask. One had received 3-D … [Read more...]
My Eyebrows Look Incredible!
October 2, 2014
A huge thank you to Michelle for this wonderful testimonial. Have I mentioned that I just love my job! “My eyebrows look incredible and I’m constantly getting compliments on them! Not only do they make my face look fantastic, but having this done has also shaved off at least 10 minutes of my morning make-up routine of plucking and drawing them on just right. I had been debating for about two years weather or not to get permanent eyebrows done and I’m so glad I finally did it! I have been so … [Read more...]
A Longer Eyebrow
April 30, 2014
A longer eyebrow works well when you have wide temples that you want to minimize. If your face is narrow it may not work because it would give the eyebrow too much power. Permanent eyebrows can serve you in several ways. One is obvious, you wake up and there they are...what a time saver. Two, when your own brows are out of balance, this artistic procedure creates the illusion of balance and symmetry. Three, it can correct some facial features such as wider than usual temples, a longer … [Read more...]
Permanent Make-up for Scar Camouflage
April 14, 2014
A client with chest acne scars were camouflaged by creating freckles of different shapes much like the others on her chest and top of arms. My client would point to the areas that bothered her, and I would create the freckle so it would blend in with the rest of the skin. SCARS FROM CUTTING, ACNE AND CANCER CAN BE camouflaged with permanent make-up techniques. THE RESULTS ARE A GREAT IMPROVEMENT, HELPING TO ERASE the physical reminders. … [Read more...]

Lash Extensions – Different Weights, Lengths and Curves
March 14, 2014
Lash Hairs for Lash Extensions come in different weights, lengths and curves. The weaker your own lashes, the finer the lash hairs for bonding and to protect your own. Sometimes I will incorporate less curvy lash hairs along with curlier where it will make a difference. Lash Extensions will last until your own lash gets replaced, but I recommend a three week visit for any lash tweaking needed. … [Read more...]

Men Need Eyebrows, Too!
February 24, 2014
Finished a set of eyebrows on a business executive who is trendy, fit and handsome. He was a bit hesitant at first but they look so natural, no one noticed. I used the single hair stroke technique with one or two shades for a more natural look, and some hairs longer than others for a non-detectable finish. What really surprised my metro client, was that he had a dinner engagement the day he got his eyebrows tattooed....and even then, no one noticed. … [Read more...]
Healing Business
February 4, 2014
Yesterday, I did scar camouflage on a 27-year-old who had cutting marks on both arms. This is a symptom of depression, and as a teenager my client could not understand the emotional pain she was enduring, but could understand the cutting pain. Her father accompanied her. They said I was in the "healing business", and were grateful to have found my website, and grateful that I was able to help erase the daily reminders of a painful past. I was happy to be of help in giving her a new … [Read more...]
