So Glad I Did my Eyebrows and Upper and Lower Eyeliner - North Carolina, NC

adding pic to above 25 Apr 2015 update

I decided to make upper and lower eyeliner wider than it was and my eyebrows darker and slightly arched more with hair strokes. It had faded some but not alot but I liked the color it was when first done the last time so asked to go with a deeper shade so it would stay at that level of darkness. Samira is great at using safe FDA appoved anesthetic gel on lids (as well as epinephrine) and gel on brows as well as constantly flushing eyes and keeping them moist. She left gel on approximately 40 minutes. No pain but it tickled alot this time so I did squirm but not due to pain. It was the sensation of needing to scratch an itch which was probably more annoying to her since I moved then it was to me. I was able to check her work with a hand mirror as she progressed. She uses organic pigment which is extremely safe and the best for this type procedure. She has students come from all over the country to learn her techniques. I know she had a client come in and she was offered a great discount if she would come and have the work completed during her upcoming teaching sesssion so her students could learn. I will keep that in mind for my next time. She usually says 3 years is a good time frame for touch ups as pigment may fade due to people being out in the sun alot and forgetting sunscreen or using cleansers with glycolic acid. She is accessible via email and phone if a question should arise. I will post pic 24 hours after procedure and then again in a week or so.

Samira's Permanent makeup in Greensboro NC is an absolute must for those who want a very experienced person (25+years). She is also a master trainer. I went for my touch up and she perfected anything and everything. She is very critical of her work so some things I was fine with she still touched up to make 100% perfect and lasting. The last appt she felt my eyeliner needed to be a tad thicker and she was right. Made a huge difference. She uses the best natural pigments that are very true and stay the same color for years. I have been there when several clients have returned for other services and most rave about her and how life changing permanent make up is. It takes me 10-15 minutes now to get ready vs 30-40 min it used to take trying to apply eyeliner and then do my eyebrows which I would sometimes redo to get them right. As I get older it was extremely difficult to do my eyeliner and have to wear reading glasses. I ended up getting contacts just to put my eye make up on. My eyes are dry so can't wear them but about an hour but the good news is I no longer need them because the fine details are permanent now! Can't say enough how these two procedures have improved my self esteem. I can swim and not worry about "Where did the eyebrows go etc" She makes sure to blend the color with your skin color so it looks very natural.
