Permanent Makeup in Santa Cruz

“Eclectic spaces like this are the type of thing that give a town it's character. The more I get to know Tara, the more immense respect I have for who she is, and what she does to create community and magic in the world. The Estrella Collective has become an indispensable hub for expression, culture & vibes. Go engage. Try a class you normally wouldn't. Get a treatment from one of these goddesses. Try a hairstyle that's past your edge. This modern group of witchy saints will hold you in the mystery.“

“Kristela is the best for brows!!! I originally had old micro blading from 2015 done in Koreatown LA that faded really bad. Kristela was able to work over and through it and did a combo microblade ombré shading. I am so happy with the results!!! She is worth every penny, because nothing is more important than your face. And brows are what frames your face. If you're in need of a glow up, just book an appointment with her, you won't regret it, she is a brow genius“

“I recently discovered Handsome Beauty Bar in desperate need for lash extensions. I was able to get a same day appointment with Genesis for 1hr and…WOW! She is so gentle and patient. I showed her a picture of my expectations and she nailed it ✨ Thank you so much and I’m so excited to come back.“

“Erika is incredible! I have had soooo many compliments! My brows are exactly how I hoped they would be! She definitely is a pro!“

“Owner and esthetician, Marie, is delightful and enormously experienced in all areas of skin care, including fabulous facials and permanent makeup. I can't recommend this lovely salon and it's owner highly enough! I've been seeing her for many years!“

“Gam is a meticulous, thoughtful, patient and calm perfectionist, which is exactly what I want in someone doing permanent makeup on my face! My eyebrows look perfect, exactly what I wanted. She consulted me every step of her process, always answered my questions, sent me home with the cutest care kit and checked in during the healing process, which was really easy and minimal, thanks to her thorough and talented work. 100% recommend her for any service - and it's a bonus to support a small, local business!
