PERMANENT MAKEUP SERVICES
BROWS
Permanent eyebrows are an excellent way to enhance and balance your natural brows while saving you time and money every day. Karilyn specializes in Nano Brows, Powder Brows, and Combination Brows.
LIPS
Lip blushing, also known as lip blush, is a form of permanent lip makeup designed to enhance the shape, color, and definition of the lips. The goal of this technique is to achieve a natural-looking, flushed appearance, but it can also be customized for a more lipstick-like effect.
EYES
Last Enhancement places pigment between the eyelashes to create the look of a subtle eyeliner. Despite being a quick service, the results can dramatically enhance your look. Karilyn also offers permanent eyeliner to add more color to the lid or a soft winged liner effect.
SKIN
Reveal smoother, more radiant skin with microneedling, a powerful treatment designed to improve skin texture, reduce fine lines, and minimize pores. Microneedling can target wrinkles, acne scars, or simply give you a healthy glow.

“Karilyn is absolutely unbeatable with her level of skill and technique regarding permanent makeup. I have gotten nano brows (~2 yrs ago initial and just recently did a refresh, still look fantastic) and they are my absolute favorite. She was so detailed and patient with me for our initial visit to define what I liked and what fit my face structure, and the colors that worked the best, and it was worth it! I would and do 100% recommend her for anyone interested in permanent makeup.”

“I can’t say enough good things about my experience with Karilyn! She is truly a master of her craft and exceeded all my expectations with both my nano brows and lip blushing. From the moment I walked in, she made me feel so comfortable and confident in her skills.
What really stood out to me was her meticulous attention to detail. I was set on having a cool-toned lip color, and she went above and beyond to mix and match the perfect shade for me. She didn’t rush the process at all and made sure I was 100% happy before moving forward. As for my brows, I’ve never had a shape or color that felt so perfect! Karilyn took her time mapping out the shape, checking and rechecking every detail, and the result is stunning. They look so natural and symmetrical, and the color matches beautifully with my complexion.
Her professionalism, precision, and genuine care for her clients are unmatched. I walked away feeling more confident than ever, and I’m so grateful I chose her. I’m already planning to have her do a lash enhancement on me next because I completely trust her expertise. If you’re considering permanent makeup, don’t hesitate—Karilyn is the best in the business!”- Daily Davies

“Amazing. I can’t say enough great things about Karilyn. I have never had a tattoo, have little to no eyebrows that I need to draw on carefully, and was very nervous about the process. I had heard great things about Karilyn but also had seen so many awful eyebrow permanent makeup on other people that I just worried. Karilyn was so careful and precise and listened to exactly what I wanted and we collaborated on what how my eyebrows should look. I wanted something more old school elegant yet natural. And oh my heavens - she nailed it. Perfect color, perfect shape, perfect density. I am so thrilled! My own children couldn’t tell I had my eyebrows done - thinking it was just really good makeup day - until they looked closer. Thank you Karilyn!”

“I have been going to Karilyn for my brows since before she moved to her own spot. She is INCREDIBLE! Her new space is so welcoming and you feel relaxed once you get in. She is professional and talks you through the entire experience and her approach is so gentle! She gives excellent post care instructions and ALWAYS sends me home with a goodie bag! Will continue going to her for all of my permanent makeup needs!”
