Eyeliner
Permanent eyeliner enhances eye definition with smudge-proof results. Available in black or colored options, this procedure accentuates natural features while eliminating daily makeup application needs for active individuals.

Cathy is a beautiful woman inside and out. Just meeting her makes you feel relaxed and at ease knowing shes an expert in her field is great. She explains everything so clearly that you feel extremely comfortable to be under her hands. I went in to have the Permanent Eyeliner procedure done and I didnt feel nervous at all!! I have a disability that makes it extremely hard for me to do my makeup and mainly difficult to do the eyeliner which EVERY girl loves having. Anyways, Cathy did an AWESOME job!! I personally recommend her to anyone who has a hard time doing their makeup. Ill post pictures

After drawing on my own eyebrows for 30 years, I finally had my eyebrows tattooed by Cathy! I could not be happier with the outcome. I let Cathy decide on the color, since she was the professional, and she nailed it. The color was perfect. Thank you Cathy, it was the best decision I could have made!

I'm thrilled with my brows, Cathy does such beautiful work. She's very knowledgeable and pays attention to detail. She understands color theory, especially when it comes to doing brows on African American clients. I highly recommend her, and I'm even bringing my mom to see Cathy to have her eyebrows done. I'm a Licensed Esthetician so I wouldn't just let anyone touch my eyebrows. I did my research, and I'm so thankful I found Cathy.

Ive been getting my eyebrows, lips, and eyeliner done by Kathy since 2005. I made the error by having someone else do my eyebrows not too long ago. Biggest mistake ever! Kathy does amazing and beautiful work. She is patient and will work you every step of the way. Kathy is an artist!
