Eyebrows
Microblading, Brow Fusion, PowderFill
Framing our face and enhancing our eyes, eyebrows are one of the most important facial features we possess. Without permanent cosmetics, you’re left to search for a brow pencil that’s an exact, or at least fairly decent, color match. Then you must attempt to draw the brow on yourself while aiming to achieve a natural look, getting the right shape, width, length, and arch every time! As for trying to get the other brow to match once you’re done? Oh, forget about it! Let’s be honest, eyebrow pencils hardly last through the day anyway.
Permanent Cosmetics frees you from the daily struggle of eyebrow pencils. We give you fabulous eyebrows everyday – flawless and effortless.
What are Permanent Eyebrows?
Permanent Eyebrows create the appearance of hair in the brow line. If you desire fuller eyebrows and use a pencil everyday you will save so much time eliminating that step from your daily routine. You can swim, do yoga, play tennis and wipe your forehead without losing your eyebrows! Additionally, those who suffer from alopecia are pleasantly surprised at how restorative this procedure is.
Benefits of Permanent Eyebrows
Sparse or thin eyebrows can be made to look fuller
Length and width can be adjusted to suit individual preferences
Arches can be created and even repositioned, giving the eyes a natural lift
Women who have over-plucked or have alopecia have beautiful brows again
How is it Done?
Carmella prides herself on creating natural looking brows. She uses a feathering technique to create the look of tiny single hairs rather than a solid block or line of ink.
Two visits are crucial in achieving a natural brow enhancement.
Don’t wax brows prior to appointment.
Directly after the procedure, brows will appear very dark. The area will become flakey in about a week and will begin to come off when you wash your face. Pigment will be much lighter as it returns during 4 weeks of healing time.
Keeping the area dry until flaking occurs is highly recommended for best color retention.

Classic Eyelash Extensions are the traditional method of lashing. One Eyelash Extension is applied to one natural lash. Classic Eyelash Extensions mimic a natural look, as there can only be one Eyelash Extension per natural lash.
Volume Eyelash Extensions are a more advanced technique. Volume Eyelash Extensions create density and volume along the lash line because multiple thin, light-weight lashes are fanned out and applied to one single natural lash. Volume Eyelash Extensions typically last longer and are life-changing for clients with a spare lash line or for clients who want a more dramatic look.
The eyes are the windows to the soul. They tell more than words, and are certainly one of our most impressionable features. In the fast-paced, competitive society that we live in, women want to be looking and feeling their best! It is no wonder that the demand for permanent eyeliner is on the rise.
Benefits of Permanent Eyeliner
Perfect solution for saving more time and money on the daily dress-up routine
No more smudges, smears, or worn-off eyeliner
Great for women who are allergic to cosmetic products
Can correct or reshape the natural look of their eye
Longest lasting procedure
From a simple lash enhancement to a dramatic winged look, clients have the liberty of choosing what suits them the best.
How Is It Done?
The looks that can be created with permanent eyeliner vary widely. Carmella specializes in customizing her treatments for each individual. While some of us are drama queens, many prefer a more natural look.
A “lash enhancement” is a technique where a thin, crisp line is applied right at the lash line, allowing the natural beauty of one’s eye color and shape to be showcased to the highest potential.
If you prefer a more dramatic look, thicker lines and deeper colors may be the chosen path. Two or more colors can be stacked or smudged, creating depth.
If you like, add a sassy little upturned flair at the outer corner to achieve the “cat eye” look.
Thicker, more dramatic looks often require up to four visits.
When considering permanent eyeliner, it is easy to understand the importance of putting your face in the hands of a true professional. Carmella recognizes individual needs and custom blends pigment shades so that everyone can achieve the look they are seeking in order to make their eyes “pop.” She is brilliant with color theory, blending, and downright meticulous when it comes to fine lines.
Whatever style you’re going for, the glorious part is that you will wake up, shower, exercise, sun, swim and go to bed looking your best! Contact us for a consultation.
Whether it’s with a smile, pout or a kiss, lips are the bearer of our emotions. Just like healthy lips can make you look and feel younger and more sophisticated – thin, pale, colorless lips are dulling and aging. Women spend countless hours and dollars on various lipsticks, liners and glosses trying to get that perfect shape and color. Even with all of those products, many feel their lips are too small or thin. Wouldn’t it be nice to be able to eat, and even kiss, while retaining that youthful glow? Permanent lip liner and full wash of lip color is the only solution to rejuvenating your gorgeous smile.
Benefits of Permanent Lips
Permanent Cosmetics can change or enhance your lips in many ways, including, but not limited to:

Enhancing the shape of the bow (middle of top lip) or even creating a bow where one hasn’t existed
Correcting uneven lips, balancing the top and bottom lip
Permanent Cosmetics are the solution for a natural restoration of youthful color, and a fool proof way to correct and enhance shape. Those perfectly defined, fuller lips you’ve always wanted are finally achievable. You will enjoy the results for years to come!
