Services
Permanent Eyebrows
Custom-designed permanent eyebrows address thinning, uneven, or missing brow hair through techniques like hair strokes, powder-fill, or hybrid methods. Our procedures accommodate all skin types and ages, with specialized expertise in correcting previous work. Clients benefit from natural-looking results that enhance facial symmetry and reduce daily makeup needs.
Microblading
This manual technique creates hair-like strokes for natural-looking brows using specialized tools. While not our preferred method due to potential scarring risks, we offer advanced alternatives using precision needles that mimic microblading results without drawbacks. All procedures follow strict safety protocols.
Permanent Eyeliner
Permanent eyeliner enhances eye definition while maintaining safety through non-invasive techniques. We offer natural 'lash enhancement' or bold liner styles, with strict avoidance of mucosal line tattooing to protect eye health. Procedures accommodate clients with medical conditions like dry eye syndrome.
Permanent Lip Color
Lip liner and color procedures enhance lip symmetry and color permanence. Our techniques include blended liners for soft definition or full lip color with customizable shades. We specialize in correcting uneven lip borders and addressing post-surgical scarring while maintaining natural lip texture.
Micro-Needling
This non-ablative skin rejuvenation stimulates collagen production to reduce wrinkles and scars. Using sterile stamping devices, we safely treat all skin types with minimal downtime. The procedure improves texture for aging skin and addresses acne scars without chemical or laser exposure.

Dr. Laura is amazing!!!! I am passed my follow up appointment for the permanent eyeliner and I am ecstatic with the results. She is meticulous with her practice in regards to her client notes (which were super helpful in regards to my follow up appointment), her technique is flawless, her communication was appreciated, and her skill/knowledge in the field is unsurpassed. I wont be going anywhere else for any permanent cosmetic work!

Recently my sister and I contemplated on getting permanent eyeliner and eyebrows. We were so tired of out eyeliner smudging and having to reapply it several times a day! It took us nearly a year to finally commit to research and finding someone we could trust! We chose Doctor Laura! We both can attest that our decision was the Best. She definitely gives attention to detail. She listens to your concerns and is very professional.. She has highly developed skills and we would not hesitate to recommend her with complete confidence. It is so awesome not to pack a make-up bag! We LOVE it!

I was impressed with Dr. Reed's level of professionalism. I appreciate her level of honesty in providing feedback on my desired end results. We went over pictures with similar eye shapes to mine to help me determine what would be best for me. Dr. Reed is very thorough in her procedure and I was very pleased with the outcome.

My Lovely Dark Brows
Oh, poor me, Im in a deep depression,
Years came and went and with them taken,
My lovely dark eyebrows and expression,
Now my face is purely an abomination!!
Ive sorely missed those lovely brows of mine,
Im in a state of wistfulness,
Ive been without for quite sometime,
My vacated face is complete disorderliness!
Im trying my best their truancy to hide,
So, I wear long bangs hanging down,
But, whatever I do, still it hurts my pride,
So, I keep pretending and wear a frown. Confidence giving, arched and narrow,
Handed down from my grandmother,
Perfect

Dr. Laura is meticulous and methodical. She was very highly recommended and I am thankful that I found her for my permanent eyebrows! She is a true professional and since Idaho has NO licensing or health department inspections for permanent makeup, you can trust your appearance and health in her hands! Dr. Laura also corrects the work of others permanent makeup. I get a lot of compliments and absolutely LOVE my eyebrows!
