About Me

Greetings! I'm thrilled to welcome you to my corner of the web. I wear many hats in life, each shaping a unique facet of who I am.

First and foremost, I'm a proud mom to a spirited young girl who adds boundless joy to my journey. With over two decades of experience as a dedicated welder and ironworker, I've forged a career in the strength and resilience of metal.

Life, however, threw a curveball my way in the form of an autoimmune challenge – alopecia universalis and other unforeseen health circumstances. This unexpected twist led me to pivot my career and discover a newfound passion as a PMU (Permanent Makeup) artist, specializing in crafting beautiful brows.

As someone who understands the daily struggle of dealing with alopecia and the impact it can have on one's self-esteem, I am on a mission. I aspire to help individuals facing similar challenges – those with alopecia or sparse eyebrows – to feel beautiful and save precious time in their daily routines.

Through my journey, I've learned that true beauty lies in embracing our uniqueness. My services extend beyond aesthetics; they are about empowering others to reclaim their confidence and embrace their individuality.

Join me on this transformative journey, where I blend my years of craftsmanship with the artistry of PMU to make a positive impact. Let's redefine beauty, one set of brows at a time, and create a space where everyone can confidently say, "I am beautiful just the way I am.”

Microblading

Microblading is a semi-permanent cosmetic procedure that enhances eyebrows by using a handheld tool to create fine, hair-like strokes, mimicking the appearance of natural eyebrow hair.

Brow Lami/Tint & Henna

Brow lamination is a beauty technique that involves setting brow hairs in a desired shape using a gentle chemical process. This results in a fuller, lifted appearance, enhancing the natural brow structure.

Henna brows involve using a natural henna-based dye to tint the eyebrow hairs and the skin. This technique not only adds color but also provides bolder results. They are also a great way to test out Ombré/ Powder PMU and see if it is for you! They are also great if you need them for a quick night out!

Beauty mark / Faux Freckle

A permanent makeup beauty mark or full freckle involves the application of pigments to the skin, creating a long-lasting and natural-looking mark or cluster of freckles. This cosmetic procedure is designed to enhance facial features, offering a subtle and timeless aesthetic touch. The result is a semi-permanent beauty mark or freckles that add character and charm to the skin, eliminating the need for daily application of traditional makeup for this purpose.

Ombré, Powder, Nano & Combo Brows

Ombre brows involve a semi-permanent makeup technique where the brow pigment is applied with a gradual transition from a lighter to a darker shade. This creates a soft, natural-looking gradient shaded effect, This procedure is done with a handheld machine.

Nano brows refer to a technique similar to Microblading where an ultra-fine needle is used to create hair-like strokes in the skin. This precise method results in extremely realistic and detailed brows, achieving a natural appearance. This procedure is ideal for all skin types and is done with a handheld machine therefore making it more ideal for clients with mature skin.

Combination brows combine microblading (or nano brows) with shading techniques. This approach provides the best of both worlds by creating realistic hair strokes at the front of the brows and adding a shaded effect towards the arch and tail. The result is a well-defined, textured look that appears natural yet polished.
