  • "Jen gave me the most beautiful lips I could have ever dreamed of! At 65 years old, I had never had a tattoo and was nervous about the process, but Jen made me comfortable and explained the everything before starting. I had lost a lot of pigment over the years and didn't have much left in the way of lip definition. Jen made me feel attractive again and I cannot thank her enough!"

  • "For the past 1.5 years, I have been a regular client of Andrea, and I couldn't be happier that I found her. She is not only talented and skilled but also a beautiful person inside and out. Her attention to detail is impeccable, and I always leave her with flawless results. Her dedication to her craft is evident from the way she pours her heart into her work. Besides, her uplifting words are enough to light up anyone's day. Every time I leave, I feel like a million bucks!"

  • "The people here are wonderful. I booked a permanent makeup service with them without really knowing what I was doing. Jen took the time to walk me through my options and made recommendations based on what I really wanted. I ended up getting a different service entirely. I greatly appreciated their honesty and knowledge. They care so much about making you happy and giving you the best results. I would highly recommend their services."

  • "Shelby did microblading for my eyebrows and a lip blush and I can't even begin to explain how amazing both services came out for me. It was my first experience getting each done and I am feeling so much more confident these days walking out of the house with no makeup on. Shelby is literally an expert! Best believe I will be coming back to her for years to come whenever I want any cosmetic tattooing :)"
