Client's solid-line permanent eyebrows, which were done elsewhere and turned orange, were corrected for color and re-designed with a hair stroke technique. The result is much more natural looking. NOTE: Her permanent eyeliner also was not done at our office and has not been properly implanted by the incompetent technician.
Correction of orange eyebrows. Same client. Frontal view.
Client came with solid-color asymmetric permanent eyebrows, which turned pink. To correct the assymetry, we had removed part of the permanent eyebrow above the right eye, corrected the color and designed new, natural-looking hair stroke eyebrows. The "After" picture was taken immediately after the procedure. Fully healed, after one week, the color will soften significantly.
Client came with permanent eyebrows, which were placed too high and turned pink. Notice the browlift scars visible right above the permanent eyebrows. We have corrected the color and re-designed the shape of the new permanent eyebrows so that the scars are concealed and hair stroke technique makes brows appear more natural. The "After" picture was taken immediately after the procedure. Fully healed, after one week, the color will soften significantly.
Improperly selected color implanted into melanin-rich lips by inexperienced technician turned blue. Correction procedures created the desired pink shade.

What is Masters Certification
American Institute of Intradermal Cosmetics, AIIC, is the largest educational institution for permanent makeup in US. To achieve AIIC Master Technician certification, a candidate must pass written and oral exam and demonstrate practical expertise by performing all of the permanent cosmetics procedures before a board of recognized leading permanent cosmetics experts.
Unlike other, more common certifications, such as SPCP or IAM, which are awarded on the basis of a written exam only, AIIC Master Technician Certification is unique in its requirement of demonstrated practical expertise in permanent cosmetics. It is your assurance that your technician is expert in actual practice of permanent makeup, not just its theory.

Testimonials
"Thank you for making my mornings so much easier! Although I enjoy make-up, you have taken of the time out of the basics for me. Now I can actually leave the house without spending the time to apply eyeliner and lipstick!
You gave me a very natural permanent eyeliner and took the time to listen to my specifications. You did a great job subtly modifying the shape of my upper lip to make it more symmetrical. The permanent lip color is just bright enough to go shopping with just a little lip gloss, but subtle enough that I can embellish it for a more formal evening look.
Not only do I love what you did for me, but you made the process so much fun. "

"I honestly thought there was no hope for improving the appearance of my stretch marks until I met Elena from the Chicago Permanent Cosmetics Center. I came to her with extremely bad stretch marks on my upper thighs and rear, which were light in color and deeply ridged. As an African American women, I was always told that nothing could be done in a case like this because laser surgery (which I thought was the only treatment for stretch marks) is risky for women of color. Yet, after only two sessions with Elena, the improvements are nothing short of remarkable (no exaggeration)! The ridges are gone and the lightness of color within the stretch marks have faded substantially - I haven't even completed my treatments. As Residential and Corporate Concierge, reputable recommendations are the success of my business. Elena is extremely knowledgeable and professional and I highly recommend her business.
