Permanent Makeup has been a gift from God for me. With the intensive training I had and with the help of other experts in the industry, I have grown and become successful. Looking back into 12 years I went through, it has not been easy and I learned something new everyday. I love my job. The personal gratification I received from my happy, satisfied clients was my greatest compensation and that far out weighed monetary value. Helping others is such a fulfilling experience. Most of my clients told me that Permanent Makeup is not just a makeup, it’s a life style change. Feeling beautiful is an attitude, when you feel good about yourself, you shine to the others. I’m so fortunate to be in this business and be able to improve other person’s life.

Two major qualities I consider vital to be a good permanent makeup artist are experience and artistry. Not many people in the permanent cosmetic business are gifted in making each of their job a piece of art. In permanent makeup application, a beautiful job and a spoiled one is often just one millimeter away. It takes the right color, right design and right touch to yield that perfect result. My approach is to make you look better, but not different, by defining and enhancing your NATURAL BEAUTY.

EXPERIENCE

Back in 1990, I was trained by Dr. Du, the top permanent makeup surgeon in China. Permanent makeup was such a hot trend in Asian countries at that time. Performing 8-10 procedures everyday laid a solid technical foundation for my career. After immigrating to United States, I continued my research in permanent cosmetics and received numerous advanced trainings. It is this combination of Eastern and Western techniques that makes my work superior to others. During my 12 years of specialized service in permanent cosmetics, my clients have ranged from US Congress women to housewives, and I have performed over 6000 procedures.

ARTISTRY

I’m a licensed cosmetologist and Advanced Permanent Makeup Artist. I hold a B.A. degree . I consider permanent makeup my ultimate calling to bring out the artistic, passionate and creative talents in myself. Since childhood, I’ve received training in painting. For me, each client is a live demonstration of my artistic work. I think consultation is the key communication between technician and client. To make a satisfied client, you need to know what they want and what they really need. When client comes in for a consultation, I listen to them and work with them. Based on their skin tone, facial bone structure , eye and hair color and life style, I offer suggestions by showing them that finished look. It’s upon both of our satisfaction we start our job.
