Hi, I’m Joanne, I am a fully qualified, licensed and insured Permanent Makeup Specialist based in Crawley, West Sussex.
Back in 2005 I enrolled on a course covering waxing, manicure, pedicure and gel nails. I then went on to cover Swedish massage, Indian head massage and then specialised in Sports massage. I also offered my services at Revitalise, a charity which provides respite care holidays for disabled people and their carers. I attained so much personal fulfillment watching these people gain self confidence and satisfaction from the treatments I provided. Due to spinal surgery and allergies to certain products I used I had to sadly give this up, and pursue another career, but always maintained a passion and interest in the beauty industry.
I became inspired after meeting Katy Jobbins, one of the UK’s leading industry experts, founder and head trainer at the Permanent Makeup training academy, and quickly realised I wanted to become a specialist myself so I could offer these services in my local area. I researched training companies but felt if I wanted to offer my clients the best service I would benefit myself from the exclusive 1-2-1 training Katy offered.
Having been a shift-worker myself I know that when you get up at 4am the last thing on your mind is penciling in your eyebrows, or whilst working a night-shift there is nothing worse than rubbing your eyes when tired and finding your eyeliner is now smudged giving you a most unattractive “panda eye” look.
I care passionately about my clients, whatever their reason for wanting permanent makeup, whether it be an allergy to conventional make up, sparse eyebrows due to over plucking, those that have conditions such as Parkinson’s which makes the application of makeup challenging, or those that have lost hair due to alopecia or chemotherapy treatments, those that love to swim, sweat at the gym, or ladies like myself that just want to look their best at all times.
With this in mind consultations are tailored specifically for each individual client’s needs and desires. Clients are not booked back to back in order to allow me the time to create a subtle beautiful look that will last for years to come and the confidence changes it will bring. I am so glad I have learnt these skills, and was so thrilled with the results of my own Permanent Makeup I knew it was something I had to share with others so they could feel confident and look their best at all times.
