Pigmenta Permanent Cosmetics

I feel liberated! Julia created eyebrows on my eyebrow and eyelash free face. I have Alopecia Universalis, a hair loss condition, which caused all of my hair to fall out six years ago. It is an autoimmune condition so I have had some hope over the years that my hair would return. My face without makeup looks like a person who has been in chemotherapy since no lashes or eyebrows exist. Fortunately my story is not about a killing disease but one of cosmetic deprivation. I wear a wig and now I have semi-permanent eyebrows which look so real that my face in the mirror is much happier and healthy looking without applying makeup.\r \r Julia's demeanor and professionalism made the process a breeze and I am 100% satisfied with my experience. Her service manager, Carolee, was very courteous and helpful in arranging my appointments. I highly recommend this treatment to others who have Alopecia and tire of their time consuming routine to just appear normal. Pros: Julia is a skilled artist more

Julia is incredible! I was skeptical at first until my daughter had her eyeliner done by Julia. I went and had my upper liner done and couldn't get back there fast enough to have the lower liner done. Since then I have gone back and had my lip liner done. I love it!!! I have also had Julia perm and tint my lashes. I have also tried lash extensions. Love it love it! It all looks so natural. What a great feeling to hop out of bed, put some lip gloss on, and your good to go. I enjoy it in the summer at the beach, pool, vacation it is great to swim and still have your make-up on you always look great. It fun at the beach when people ask how do you swim and keep your make up on? Haha should I tell them? I always do its not fair to keep something so good a secret. Three of my girlfriends have had their liner done and love it. Julia is not only extremely talented, she is professional, all of her tools are clean and sterile, she always makes you feel comfortable. Julia has a wonderful personality that keeps you going back. So if you are thinking about having the liner done or any of her other services go for it you won't regret it. more

I came across Julia Bowers from Pigmenta USA on the internet. I was impressed with the natural results I saw in the before and after photos. I booked a consult for my teenage daughter who is very fair, blonde and blue eyed. She had overplucked her brows so much in the last couple of years, they were close to non-existent. She was using a liner and shadow to fill them in and it would wear off during sports and swimming with friends. She was very self-conscious and stressed about this. When we met Julia, we were struck by her compassionate nature. She spoke in depth about how she could help give her the natural look she wanted and never judged her. She practiced first with shape and color so we knew what it was going to look like in the end. My daughter also has very light colored lashes and Julia explained ""lash enhancement"" which she did that day for my daughter also. It made a world of difference. Julia stopped to show us when she had finished one eye. The results were nothing short of amazing. As she worked on my daughter, I began to see her face and eyes come to life again. Julia is a talented artist whose work is very realistic and worth every penny. She truly cares about her clients and wants them to be 100% happy with their results. I cannot recommend her enough to anyone looking to literally change their lives. My daughter is thrilled with the beautiful, natural results, not to mention the time shes saves in the morning! Julia is beautiful inside and out and her wonderful personality will put you at ease immediately. Don't put off seeing Julia any longer if you are thinking about permanent makeup. Pros: Skilled perfectionist, compassionate & kind. Cons: Absolutely NONE more

For over 10 years, I have had permanent makeup applied to my eyebrows and eyeliner by some of the most well known experts in London. But not until I had my treatments done by Julia, a true artist in the field, was I truly satisfied with the results. \r She really takes the time to define a feather like look to your brows that none of the others were able to achieve. I am so grateful and now have more confidence in all of my day to day dealings.... Julia Your the Best!! ... Thank you, MM Pros: A Master at the art of Permanent Make up! more

I have been battling severe hair loss/eyebrow loss for the past few years. I am a female and in my twenties so one can imagine how debilitating it is to your self esteem and self image to have little hair. Every day I would have to pencil in my eyebrows on bare skin, which looked fake no matter how I drew it and would take up to 20 minutes to make perfectly symmetrical, which is the most difficult chore to accomplish day in and day out. Not to mention how embarrassing it was when they smudged or rubbed off, and I was forced to carry around an eyebrow pencil everywhere I went, as though my life depended on it. After a long time of the stress and agony of this routine, I decided it was well worth my while to look into permanent makeup. Finding Julia Bower's, for me, was like finding an angel. With her skill and talent she was able to accomplish what I could not accomplish on my own...she gave me perfectly shaped, realistic, permanent eyebrows. And no one knows that they aren't hair unless I tell them!!!! People say ""No way! I never would have noticed that's not real hair."" The technique Julia uses is what drew me to Pigmenta. Her work is so natural looking, a look and color you will never get from ordinary tattooing. Julia Bower's has saved me a lot of stress from my daily chore and heart ache of living with hair loss. Thank you Julia!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Pros: Julia's work is perfect! Cons: none : ) more

I first have to say that Julia is a phenomenal artist and permanent makeup professional. I have seen countless clients of hers first hand who have had amazing results.\r My personal experience with Julia came about after I had another ""artist""give me permanent eyeliner on my upper lid. The woman slipped and left a large line in the middle of my lower lid which stuck out like a sore thumb. She tried to remove it 3 times without any success. Julia came to the rescue and removed it with only one visit!\r I am so thankful that I met Julia and would without any hesitation refer her to anyone interested in permanent makeup. Pros: Artistic, professional more

I was given the opportunity to have permanent eyeliner done. I was referred to Julia of Pigmenta and met with her. She understood I was a bit nervous and took the time to talk with me about what I was looking to achieve. She was very understanding and listened to my needs and produced the most amazing looking eyeliner I described to a T. She has a talent in not only her work but her ability to listen to her clients. I highly recommend Julia if you are considering permanent makeup or hair/lash extensions. Julia I will be back and thank you! Pros: She listens to her clients more

I recently had permanent makeup to my brows by Julia and I love it. I had wanted to have this done for a long time, but kept hesitating until I happened on Julia's website and saw her beautiful, very natural work. She matched the color of my sparse brows exactly, and used fine little hair strokes to fill in and extend my brows; no flat tattoo look at all! My brows now look better than they ever have in my life! Julia is super nice, patient and kind. She is reasonably priced for this kind of work, and you can absolutely trust her opinion and skills. If you're thinking about permanent makeup, see Julia, you won't regret it. I'm going back...I'm thinking eyeliner next! Pros: Beautiful, natural looking permanent makeup Cons: Absolutely none! more

I suffer from OCD which means I obsess about certain things and make up was a big issue for me. I am obsessed with appearance and struggled daily, often not even leaving my home because I didn't look ""right"". My eyeliner had to be perfect and was difficult to get perfectly done. It literally took me hours to get my face right enough to go somewhere. I'd lived like this since 1978. In 2009 I heard about permanent eyeliner! I was thrilled but terrified. I researched everything about it and everywhere to get it done. After several serious interviews with people who do this I found Juli. She was so professional, caring, reassuring, precise, etc. etc. I finally found the only person I would let try to attempt to deal with my extremely high standards. I THANK GOD LITERALLY EVERY DAY FOR JULI!! With her support I hesitantly gave in to never having to deal with my aggravation and stress of OCD perfect eyes again. I was scared and I told my family as I left ""Mommy may come home blind tonight"". Juli was so totally awesome at reassuring me and making me feel comfortable about everything. I got my eyes upper and lower done and get ready for this Miss Picky even got my lips done! I wanted both my eyes and lips done but was more in it for the eyes. Juli really took the time to be certain my lips were actually some thing I desired. I did! But I was picky and wanted a natural shade I did not want it to look like I had lipstick just applied coming out of the ocean... She matched the next shade of color up from my lips and did the most amazing job one could imagine. I shove my face right into others and ask ""Do you like my tattoo""? They look at me like I'm crazy. I then say ""seriously my face is tattooed on"" then I look really nuts till I explain that I had permanent makeup work done and point out where. I've had nothing but positive feedback. I love telling everyone as this has made such a big improvement for my life. I will enjoy the rest of it without staring in the mirror repeatedly to see if I look o.k. How much time do you waste on obsessing about your appearance? The amount of time I spent is countless. I can enjoy more time with my child and feel good about how I look. God Bless you Juli, you truly are an artist. I can't thank you enough for this!!! Pros: Just as I wanted, looks awesome, major time saver!!! Cons: None!!! more

I have had many appointments with Julia and never once have I been disappointed. She is excellent and knows her craft very well. She'll make you look great! Pros: Her caring and professionalism Cons: Not close enough . . . yet! more

Julia is the best. It is so nice to be able to go out without applying make up. I have received so many compliments on my new look. I love it! more

Julia is absolutely amazing! The permanent make- up she applies is perfect! You look great afterwards and she really makes you feel calm and comfortable during and after the procedures! Not only is she gifted at what she does, she is a kind, generous and sweet person. She is ""permanent make-up"" at it's best! Her prices are extremely reasonable, but it is the final outcome that is phenomenal. I am a Registered Nurse and highly recommend her for methods of maintaining sterility and cleanliness. I have no doubt that every morning you will wake up ready to go and be thankful that you meet Julia! Sincerely, Mindy Bernard (Client of Julia Bauer) Pros: all thuumbs up more

My sister and I both have had our eyeliner done by Julia and love it. It takes only half of the time to put on make up in the morning and it is always straight. I have had her curl and tint my eyelashes several times and they always look fabulous. I have saved so much time and money now that I don't need to purchase eyeliner and mascara.\r She created eyebrows for a friend of mine and they look fabulous. In the past my friend had to carry make up in case it rained or she wiped her brow and now she can get up and leave the house without being concerned about not having her eyebrows on. They look so natural, match beautifully and the color is perfect. My friend and I were both amazed. \r Julia is outstanding in her technique and has done these procedures for several years. If you want a professional that really knows what she is doing make sure you go to Julia. Pros: Permanent make up does not run or streak and think of the money you save on make up Cons: I just wish I lived closer. more

I have had numerous procedures done by Julia and it has always turned out fantastic! She shapes my eyebrows by threading them, and permanent make up on my eyebrows and eyeliner. I always get compliments on my brows, as to how perfect they always look. The permanent eyeliner is so natural looking, that people don't even think I am wearing liner, but compliment how beautiful my eyes are. Julia is so professional and very conscientous of her work. She works with your natural look to create the most beautiful natural-looking you. I could not live without the permanent make up anymore--it's so much easier than applying the standard make up everyday, and worrying about smudging or reapplying. Julia creates a stunning look, and makes you feel great about yourself. Pros: She is highly experienced and knows what you need better than you do. A perfectionist, and clearly cares about her clients. Cons: none. more

Julia is terrific ? she is professional, personable, and excellent in her business. My skin and hair are very light, and before I met Julia, I always had to apply a lot of eye makeup. But several years ago, I had Julia do permanent eyeliner on my upper and lower lids, and I was so thrilled with the results, that I then had my eyebrows done. I have since had Julia do eyelash extensions, and now everything is so easy. I think my eyes look perfect, even without putting on makeup! The permanent makeup is so natural looking, and the process is painless. I would recommend Julia to anyone considering permanent make-up. She truly is the best! Pros: Very natural looking; always look as though I have eye makeup on - even on the beach! more

I originally had eyelash enhancement 2 years ago, loved it so much went back to have a thicker line done. So far, I have had eyelash uppers and lowers, and lip liner. I have brought my mom (81 years old), sister, cousins, and a bunch of friends to Julia. She is awesome. She makes you feel so comfortable and relaxed. There is no pain and very little swelling. I would definitely recommend permanent make-up and more importantly Julia. She is the best!!!! Pros: never have to put eyeliner on ever again. Julia is very skilled and I felt very safe. Cons: can't think of any more
