Meet Your Expert in Permanent Makeup in Kingman & Las Vegas

Why You’re in Expert Hands

Before diving in, let me share a bit about myself — after decades of honing my craft, I feel confident saying you’ll receive the best permanent makeup in Kingman and beyond. While beautiful brows and perfectly defined lips are crucial, what truly counts are my credentials, extensive training, and professional affiliations. These elements demonstrate that I’m well-equipped to handle any challenges that may arise during your treatment.

Now, credentials may not guarantee perfection every time, but when rare complications occur (and they do), you want someone with the experience to navigate those situations. That’s where I come in.

Having grown up in Flagstaff, Arizona, I moved to Scottsdale at age 21, where my journey into aesthetics and permanent makeup truly began.

From Paintbrush to Pigment

My path started in a plastic surgeon’s office, where I worked as both a medical aesthetician and assistant. I discovered permanent makeup during aesthetics school, but my passion grew while working in medical aesthetics, where I focused on result-oriented services like medical-depth peels and injectables.

One day, my supervising physician suggested I explore permanent makeup, offering to fund my training. I accepted, and through that experience, I found my calling. My early focus was on paramedical tattooing, which is an advanced niche within the field. Most artists start with cosmetic permanent makeup before progressing to paramedical services; I took the opposite route, akin to evolving from reconstructive artistry to beauty enhancement.

Extensive Training Background

Here’s a glimpse of my training journey:

• Trained and certified by a paramedical tattoo artist and RN, my original mentor

• Studied under industry leaders like Genie Schmidt (Spokane, WA) and Mary Arnold (Las Vegas, NV)

• Completed training with Paradise Permanent Makeup, Nouveau Contour, and Softap

• Attended over 50 advanced workshops at AAM and SPCP conventions over the past two decades

• Proud member of the AAM, SPCP, and the Permanent Makeup Society since the early 2000s, holding a professional SPCP membership

• Licensed aesthetician with a Southern Nevada Health District body art card and a mentor card as a trainer

Commitment to Public Safety

As a dedicated professional, I’ve also created a bloodborne pathogen and infection control certification program compliant with CDC guidelines for Southern Nevada Health District licensees. This program has been invaluable for PMU technicians needing body art card applications or renewals, earning the approval of health department officials — a moment of pride for me.

Innovator, Educator, Advocate

In 2013, I developed an effective saline removal system for correcting botched permanent makeup, which gained recognition through PR Web. Additionally, I founded a Southern Nevada Health District-approved PMU academy in Las Vegas, where I have mentored aspiring artists for over 15 years. Our comprehensive six-month program covers everything from anatomy to advanced techniques (no two-day crash courses here).

I thrive on challenging cases, whether it’s scar tissue, difficult skin types, or brows needing correction. My paramedical tattooing background uniquely positions me to tackle these challenges successfully.

A Continued Commitment to Las Vegas

I remain very involved with my permanent makeup practice in Las Vegas, where I have nurtured many long-time loyal clients for over 20 years. After moving to Las Vegas in 2003 from Scottsdale, Arizona, I began my career working in a medical spa owned by Dr. Robert Toledo, who is also an OB/GYN. I later transitioned to my own medical spa, providing a range of aesthetic and beauty treatments while focusing on permanent cosmetics. My expertise in paramedical tattooing led to referrals from leading board-certified plastic surgeons.

While managing my spa, I recognized that the demands of running a business made it difficult to concentrate on advancing my permanent makeup skills. This realization prompted me to ultimately sell my practice and establish a permanent makeup academy and clinic dedicated solely to my passion for permanent makeup. I found that overseeing a full-service spa, complete with injectables, waxing, and lash extensions, left little time for personal growth in the field. Selling the spa was a transformative decision that allowed me to focus all my energy on perfecting the art of permanent makeup.

Expanding to Kingman

Currently, I’m proud to be the preferred paramedical tattoo artist for some of Las Vegas’ leading plastic surgeons. While I still maintain a practice in Las Vegas, I’ve recently expanded my services to Kingman, and it’s been incredibly rewarding.

In 2020, I invested in a sustainable farm outside of Kingman, trading city life for a simpler, fulfilling existence. As a native Arizonan with deep roots in the area, I felt compelled to bring my high-integrity and skill-driven permanent makeup services to Kingman in 2025, and the community has welcomed me warmly.

As I continue to serve clients in Las Vegas, I’m thrilled to offer my expertise in permanent makeup in Kingman as well. Whether you’re seeking paramedical tattooing or a beauty enhancement, you can trust that you’re in the hands of a seasoned professional.

I'm excited about the opportunity to create lasting beauty for you!
