I have taken my daughter, daughter in-laws, cousins, granddaughter, sister-in-law, niece and multiple other people to Barbara for eyeliner. She is THE BEST! Had been to others before finding Barbara and nave never looked back. Can't wait till my other granddaughters are old enough. She has done a fantastic job on each and everyone I have brought to her and they all loved the results. No bad outcome with any of her work! Read Less

I first went to Barbara about 15 years ago for full lip tattooing . I went back about 9 years ago to get a retouch . She also has done my eyebrows and upper lid liner. I am in the beauty industry and see all sorts of work and I can tell you that Barbara is one of the best. She is good with clients who don't do well with pain, she is soothing and because she is a nurse can numb the area before procedure but most of all she has an artist touch and steady hand and listens to what you want and gives her advice based on the individual. I have sent over 15 clients to her throughout the years and every one was satisfied with results. I am due for a touch up and will be doing this soon. Read Less

Excellent! Barbara did my eyes a few years ago, with patience and skill! Not many can handle me under the best of conditions, but Barbara is amazing and I love my eyeliner!

If there were a 10-star rating that's what I would give Barbara for her amazing work on my face!  Barbara fixed a double-botched job previously done on my brows.  Now they're so amazing I get complimented all the time.  She chose the perfect color for my lips, exactly the same as the lip stain I used to use.  My eyeliner is beautiful and so convenient that with just a swipe of mascara I'm ready to go.  And all this WITHOUT ANY PAIN, because Barbara is a nurse and can numb you with a simple injection. You can't ask for more. Read Less

I wanted a touch up on my permanent eyeliner: top and bottom. Barbara was very good. She definitely took her time with me and she's a nurse too. Everything was very clean and she has a very cozy office. Barbara made sure that I was really numb before starting the procedure and she did a great job. She is a perfectionist and you can see the difference in her work. Yes, she is expensive. But I think she is worth every cent. I will definitely be seeing her in the future for any other permanent make up needs. Read Less

Barbara did a wonderful job fixing a botched job from PK at Salon Bella.  She took her time figuring out a nice shape for my eyebrows, lips and eyeliner.  Since she's a nurse she's able to numb you up first which really helps, also she uses an eye shield which makes all the difference.    I highly recommend seeing Barbara, she sings great also will she works on you.

Permanent make-up with a fresh and natural look done by a nurse. I wanted to look fresher and not worry about wearing make-up when doing sports, but did not want to look fake or made-up. I met a woman who had permanent lipstick and eyeliner and the look was soft and natural. She referred me to Barbara at Permanent Cosmetic Artistry and it was a great find! I had permanent lip color done and I look fresh and natural. I chose a nice pink color to match my skin. I can still wear lipstick over it to change the shade of lipstick if I want a change. I trusted Barbara and found her to be safe, professional and the setting was as clean as an Operating Room.  It helped that I had seen her product on another woman who was fair skinned. Pricing is slightly higher than some of the nail places and hair salons that I researched but the safety and talent are worth it when it comes to something I look at everyday. I love getting up and seeing color in my lips versus looking pale. Best thing I have done for myself and it makes getting ready fast and easy.Update 7/10. When I do sports I do not have lipstick all over my water bottles.  I am saving money on lipstick and I figure that over the next few years the savings will pay for the cost of the procedure. Also, I forgot to mention that she numbed me so well so that I experienced no discomfort. She is amazing and talented. I love looking bright 24/7. Read Less
