  • I genuinely cannot recommend Erin highly enough, especially for one-on-one PMU training. After receiving some lackluster training elsewhere, I felt unprepared — until I discovered Erin! From our very first conversation, I was blown away by her preparation and professionalism. Our training together was incredible — every question answered, every technique refined. I was able to immediately add the skills I learned into my service menu. And best of all? Erin’s ongoing mentorship has been priceless in helping me grow my business and confidence as an artist.

  • Not only was I lucky enough to have Erin do my eyebrows, but also blessed to have her be my trainer. I just love her undetectable permanent makeup style. Its not distinctive or over done, but rather enhances one's features so naturally. She is so talented and knowledgeable and especially gracious with her time. I can't wait to continue to learn more from such a standout artist in the industry. Im truly grateful I found her. She is a gem of a person and trainer!

  • I recently attended Erin’s Permanent Makeup Artist Training in Seattle and I’m SO grateful for the experience. The training was thoughtful, detailed, and directly addressed the challenges new artists face. Erin provided SOLID tips and techniques — especially for brow mapping — that I hadn’t seen anywhere else. I left feeling confident and excited to offer new services to my clients. Plus, the starter kit she provided was incredibly generous and truly set me up for success. If you’re considering training — BOOK WITH ERIN! You’ll be inspired and empowered.
