About Us
Is Becoming a Permanent Makeup Artist Worth It?
Why does starting something new make us want to break out in a cold sweat??
Simple truth…
We are creatures of habit.
But wouldn't it be amazing if...
You got to use your creativity at work each day.
You built a clientele of people you love and get to talk to.
You made your own hours and could take off when needed.
You got to live and work on your terms.
And you had a schedule that allowed you to spend time with your VIPs (your family, kids, friends, pets...)
