Pigmenta Permanent Cosmetics

Julia is amazing!! i feel so happy and beatiful when i see what she has done for me (eyebrows, eyeliner & lips) i was feeling old and washed out before going to her. It has been months since my application and i still have all the excitement and joy!! She is a gem and everyone should see her!! more

I also highly recommend Julia @ Pigmenta. I had my eyebrows done recently & I am SO happy with the results. I only wish I had known about her years ago. If you're thinking about doing it, stop hesitating & just call her. You won't regret it! more

Julia at Pigmenta is absolutely amazing. I have alopecia and I fully lost my eyebrows about 5 years ago. I have been using eyebrow pencils for years and all the annoyance that goes along with it: applying three times a day, dealing with smudging when sweating or on rainy days, never getting a natural look, and on and on. Anyway, I searched around and loved the natural look that Julia provided for eyebrows. I now have beautiful, natural looking eyebrows and I happily tossed my eyebrow pencil in the trash. Very little pain and the healing process was super easy. It is worth every penny! more

I highly recommend Julia at Pigmenta. I recently had upper and lower eye liner. I told Julia that I wanted a very subtle effect ;because I don't wear a lot of make up. Julia listens very carefully to what you want and does just that. I am totally happy with the results! Carolee was really helpful in informing me about the procedure and what to do after. The whole experience was painless and the results exactly what I wanted! more

I have been tattooing my eyebrows for a number of years. The first practitioner I had did a beautiful job, by hand. Unfortunately she soon left this profession to become a nurse. Additionally, since my hair was red at the time, she had added a bit too much red into the color. \r \r When she disappeared I searched for someone else. The second practitioner kept changing the shape of my brows without asking me or consulting with me. She also made them too thick and wide and they had different shapes, and one ended in a different place from the other. Also I had to have touch ups much too often. So I was quite upset and gain looked for someone else.\r \r When I found Pigmenta Julia spent a long time consulting with me and explaining that to do these brows properly and be able to establish a new shaping that would complement my features, I would need to remove the old dye. She laid the process and timing out for me and explained that she could absolutely fix it, that she had done it many times before but that I needed to be a bit patient. \r \r I was so delighted so know that she could fix it, and seeing her work, I could see how much I had to look forward too. She got rid of all the excessive width and the old red color that was below. After 6 months (during which time I used mineral powder on my brows and no one ever said a word about it!) she put in the new brows. It was well worth the wait.\r \r Julia always discussed with me before doing anything. I have complete trust in her not only as an artist but as a person. I now have beautifully shaped brows in a natural looking color. I’m so glad that I found Pigmenta!\r more

I have been penciling my brows since I was 14 years old. Ever since I could remember, my brows has always been super light and fine, even though my natural hair color is black. So you see all this dark hair and when you see my face it looks like I have no eye brows. That was how light my brows were. I never pluck or shave it either. So it wasn’t because of those reasons I didn’t have brows. It was just how I grew up. For the next 15+ years of my life I pencil in my brows. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve always thought about tattooing it but seeing a lot of older women I knew (my mother included) it didn’t look so great as the years went on. Their brows changed colors, like a greenish-bluish; the original shape they had were no longer there, instead the tattoo began to bleed. When I say bleed I don’t literally mean blood but the colors and shape loses it shape and is not defined. It looks messy. Seeing this on my mother and aunts around me I was always apprehensive in going thru with it myself for I didn’t want my own brows to be looking like theirs as I age. I rather pencil than have the same effect they had. Knowing all of that, I still wasn’t satisfied with just drawing. It didn’t take me long or anything. I’ve done it for so long that it just took me a minute. I wasn’t satisfied because I hated worrying every single moment if my brows was still there. People around me who I felt comfortable with I would always ask them if my eyebrows was still in place. I always fear it would smudge when someone hugged me too tight and their head might bump the side of my face and in turn, smudge off my brows. No matter how hot I get in the summer I can never rub my face, because why??? It would rub off my pencil in brows. Going to the beach I try not to get my face wet because then that would mean I would have to wipe my face. That’s a no-no. There are many reasons why I wasn’t satisfied with penciling in. It was so inconvenient. I should be able to just go do things without always worrying about my brows right? So I did my own research. I took my time looking for something that would guarantee I would not be looking like my mother brows as I age. I also didn’t want it to look like a tattoo. I want mine looking natural like I actually have hair. I ended up finding JULIA BOWERS. She’s the BEST!!! I absolutely LOVE her! Her methods are wonderful and beautiful. The day of my appointment with her I was very nervous. Once I met her and her staff they eased it all away. They were so nice and answer everything I needed. My brows came out beautifully. My family and friends who saw my brows for the first time always told me that it looks great and natural. They loved it too. I’m about to go back for a touch up. You probably wondering why it took me so long to write a review. The reason was shortly after that I became very ill and had multiple surgeries. Last year was a very hard year for me and I can honestly say having my brows helped me from feeling insecure with everything I was going thru and look. It was nice not to worry about my brows. Something so little can help tremendously. Julia gave me confidence with the brows while I fought to get better with my health. I love her. She truly doesn’t know how much her work effect people. I am so thankful. Thank you Julia. more

I always had difficulty applying eye liner. I am more than satisfied with my experience at Pigmenta. It was a very positive experience for me. I had no idea what to expect only that I wanted to have permanent eyeliner. No more smudging with application or during the day. I have gotten so many compliments. I recommend Julia to everyone. Thank you! more

I met Julie and Carolee last month with the issue of penciling my eyebrows for the past LONG years! All I can say now is that I can do all the normal things (swim, wipe my face at the gym) that everyone can do. This has been one of the greatest investments for me so far in 2012. I will highly recommend Julia to anyone that I know who is experiencing what I used to deal with. Bye, bye pencil, hello ME!\r \r Thank you Julia! You have made me soooooo Happy! more

Over a month ago, I came to Julia for brows. The first time I saw her, she was nice and informative and my brows looked great. Some weeks later, I went back in for a touch up and had a different experience. My brows did not hold the color and Julia seemed to be annoyed by my questions and concerns. She wasn't so nice the second time around! I have tried calling Pigmenta several times since my first touch up to fix more spots that did not hold color, after-all it is my face and I would like to look in the mirror and be happy with my investment. It has been a month of leaving messages, and have not received a return call. I was hoping for a better experience from a company that comes so highly recommended. Obviously, Pigmenta needs to brush up on how they treat their customers and providing quality customer service! more

I had the eyebrow permanent makeup done here and I couldn't be happier. The results are so realistic, no one will notice that it's not real eyebrow hair. Highly recommend Julia (unless you love filling in your eyebrows every morning, and everytime you go for a swim, and every time you workout...ha ha). more

I have been going back to Julia for about 2 years now for an eyebrow boost and she is heaven sent. When I went to her in 2010, I had no eyebrows. I used eyeliner pencial to literally fill in my eyebrows because they were so thin. I was tired of ""drawing my eyebrows"" and wanted something that was permanent that wouldn't wipe away when I sweat or wash my face. I came across her website and fell in love with her instantly. She knew exactly what my natural eyebrow should look like. The first time I got them done I was almost in tears. I faithly go back every year to get a boost because the color does fade but it is so well worth it. more

Last Saturday I made an appointment to get my lashes refilled at Skin Serenity in Haverhill, MA. Once I arrived, I was told that Julia was running late. I waited for over an hour for her to see me. I was so annoyed!! I had another appointment that I needed to get to after that one, and ended up having to cancel it, which was very inconvenient. I have been going to Julia for lashes for sometime now and she runs late more times then not. It's starting to become frustrating, especially when her services are not cheap! It might be time to find a new lash lady! more

I had my eyebrows done many years ago by someone else. That person did them way to dark and thick and I had to live with these hideous brows for a long time until I found Julia! She removed my old color and now they are normal again and I don't have to cover them up anymore. It was a long process but so worth it because I now don't have to worry about them anymore. Thanks Julia for the good work, you gave me my confidence back. more

I went for a full set of lashes from Julia. I have gone many times before and never had an issue until the last time. Usually she uses comfy gel pads to separate the bottom lashes from the top lashes so they don't get glued together. This time, she ran out of the pads and decided to use medical tape. When she was finished with applying the lashes, she pulled the tape off and a few of my bottom lashes along with it. It hurt and now I have missing bottom lashes! Not a good look. In my opinion, Julia should have made sure she had the proper amount of supplies on hand at the start of her day so clients are not subject to unnecessary pain! more

For the amount of money charged for Julia's services, I expected my brows to last more than a few months. The day Julia did my brows, she was running behind and literally did my brows in 10 minutes. I felt like she rushed and did not do her best work because she was flustered about the waiting room filled with clients. I won't be going back to Julia. On a good note, Carolee is such a sweet heart! She is informative and is very professional. Julia is lucky to have her. more

I was slightly nervous about having eye liner applied but have always wanted it. Julia was incredibly informative, talking me through every step of the procedure. I found that it did not hurt and the only awkwardness was driving home because my vision was slightly blurred from the numbing gel. An easy price to pay for anyone who wants the ease of waking up and virtually walking out the door. Thanks Julia! more

I just had my eyebrows done by Julia about a month ago. She was total y professional. I felt extremely comfortable and for the first time in years I don't have to worry about penciling in my eyebrows ever time I leave the house. Last week i went to Cancun and for the first time ever I could go to the beach or in the water and sun and not have to worry if my eyebrows were still there. It is truly amazing. I would recommend Julia's work to everyone more

I am a man who has alopecia. I have no hair on my head, but for the last thirty years or so I have been able to keep my eyebrows. Until last spring, my right eyebrow began to fall out. Several months later my right brow was gone altogether! This was pretty embarassing for me. Walking around with only one eyebrow!\r \r I have been very reluctant to get a tatoo eyebrow and I have heard every horror story out there about very bad eyebrow tatoos! Having no hair on my head, I couldn't simply cover a bad tatoo with my bangs!!! I needed someone who could make my eyebrow perfect! one that could perfectly match the tatoo eyebrow to my real left brow. Julia is that person :-)\r \r All I can say is thank you Julia from the very depths of my soul! I feel comfortable walking around, doing my normal day to day business and NO ONE ever has noticed that my brow isn't real until I tell them!\r \r Thank you Julia and Carolee!\r \r C. Matt Graham more

Total professionalism! Excellent artistry! What more can you possibly want? Truly, Julie and Carolee are the best at what they do. more

Julie, just love what you did to my lips, the shape is so much better than before with natural color. I mainly use lip balm and lip gloss, only lipstick for evening or special events. So glad you mentioned trying the blended lipliner procedure before any injections. It really works and I would recommend this to any person who is not pleased with the lip shape they were born with. I did not fine it painful at all. You are a perfectionist and it shows with your work. Thanks again.\r \r Doris McEvoy more
