Oh my goodness, so many great things to say about this establishment, Earleen, and the power of a little (permanent) makeup!I found out this year that at 29, I had Stage 3c Endometrial cancer. It was devastating news, and my treatment plan included a hysterectomy, chemotherapy, and radiation. I was told by my doctor that the type of chemo I was going to go through would make me lose my hair (which I kind of figured), but it would also make my lose my eyebrows and eyelashes. I cried over my eyelashes, as they were a big focal point of my face, and just thought about how my face would look without any hair, eyebrows, or eyelashes. I would have nothing left to frame my face, and I felt like losing eyebrows were the biggest indicator of "being sick." I spoke with my mother and future mother-in-law about how I was feeling, and I told them it felt vain but to be honest, it still upset me. They were sweet and told me my feelings were very much validated, and went in half and half to pay for Earleen to work her magic before heading into treatment. :)Meeting Earleen, I felt so comfortable with her. She was energetic and sweet, comforting and professional. She informed me that she could do the permanent makeup while I still had eyebrows, going in between them to act as a powder fill. It was a pretty fast process, easier because she uses numbing cream, but you definitely feel when it wears off, so be aware of that! Having eyebrows when everything fell out helped my self esteem SO MUCH. With eyebrows, people thought shaving my head was just a hair style choice, and didn't even notice my eyelashes (or lack there of). Even though when it healed it was a teensy bit patchy because my eyebrows were so thick, I kept a lot of color and could easily fill in the spots with an eyebrow pencil. I NEVER could've free handed my eyebrows, so having the shape there already was so helpful!All in all, deciding to have my eyebrows done before chemo was a great choice for myself, and it was something I had control of to make transitioning into a hairless mole rat a little easier, haha. ;) I highly recommend Asheville Permanent Makeup. Earleen is a PRO, understanding, and will personalize the makeup to you and your needs. Thank you so much again, Earleen- you're truly amazing! Read Less

Earleen! What a magnificent service she provides and I am so so SO happy with my results. I literally walked out of the office just over an hour ago, and I am over-the-moon with my new brows. I was SUPER nervous about having this done, but at the same time, it was important for me to stop feeling self-conscious about my brows and having to put them on everyday. Upon entering the office, she immediately worked on easing my worries and encouraged me to stop obsessing--just trust her and the process. She used small strokes to give a realistic look and used multiple colors of pigment to match my natural hair color. Shape was considered in relation to each eye and the symmetry of my face. Earleen is confident about her work, and knows it's important for her clients to feel good when they leave. Her style and approach to beauty is to keep it classic, natural, and flattering, and she does it wonderfully. To potential clients, no matter how much you think you have mastered your own look and beauty regimen, Earleen is a top-notch professional that knows her stuff and pays attention to your overall look, personal style, and what will continue to look good as time passes.
