Hi, I'm Esther. I created this workshop because I wanted to provide an easy way for PMU artists to learn about and practice important skills from an instructor they can trust. I am so eager to teach you with my knowledge of permanent makeup and to share my industry secrets with you.

The one thing you need to know about being in this industry is that the opportunities are endless. There are so many ways to provide value to your clients and I will help you to find your leading edge. I hope you always keep learning and looking for new ways to improve and stay ahead of the current trend.

Knowledge is power and think of it as an investment to your career.

I also do want to remind you that this work take lots of practice and patience. Don't get frustrated and continue to practice. You need to dedicate your time and energy into this but I am here to guide you through your PMU journey!

Keep focused and we'll get through this, together.

Bio
Esther's journey into the beauty industry started as a child. While growing up, her mother, a business owner of two nail salons would bring Esther to work and open her eyes to the world of beauty and service.

After much soul-searching as a young adult about her future career path, Esther decided to go to Esthetics school, where she graduated from Christine Valmy in 2010. Shortly after, she pivoted to practicing permanent makeup and obtained her 100 hour fundamentals certification in 2013. A life-long learner, Esther regularly takes additional courses. She makes it her mission to take at least two courses annually because she wants to stay closely up to date with the rapidly changing trends of the beauty industry.

Esther is also a client of permanent makeup and experiencing how it simplified her morning routine first hand really motivated her to help other clients with the same needs. Especially for mothers, she understands how stressful it can be in the morning.

Not only does she help clients, but she also helps aspiring permanent make-up students get certified. Educating others has always been at the core of her passion to serve others.
