Hi, I’m Corey, a permanent makeup artist based in Maine. I have a passion for art and helping people feel good about themselves. I retired from a long career in public service and decided to pursue my dream of offering permanent makeup services to people who want to enhance their natural beauty and boost their confidence. Permanent makeup, also known as cosmetic tattooing or micropigmentation, is a safe and effective way to create lasting results for your eyebrows, eyeliner, lips, scalp and more. Whether you have hair loss due to alopecia, chemotherapy or other conditions, or you just want to simplify your daily routine and save time and money on makeup products, permanent makeup can be a great solution for you. I am trained, licensed and insured in the state of Maine and I follow the highest standards of hygiene and safety in my studio.

Contact : 207-749-9899
Hi, my name is Elisa, yes, it is pronounced E-Lisa.
I have been a licensed cosmetologist for over 15 years. Specializing in hair, nails, waxing, men, woman, and children. Initially I started my career in 1995 as a nail tech. Since then, I graduate from Spa Tech and have been continuing to learn and use new techniques and methods in hair color
and styling.
My method of hair styling is getting to know my clients on a personal level so that their cut and color that match their personality and lifestyle. Every person’s head is a visual piece of art in my head.
If you are looking for an edgy cut, I am a wiz with a razor. Among my favorites is Balayage and highlighting. In addition to using new techniques and methods I use All Nutrients color line; it is
locally sourced and naturally botanical based. Because All Nutrients Organic color line is based right
in Londonderry, NH, I take advantage of the opportunity to go to advanced color classes a few times.
a year. When my clients tell me they were stopped on the street and asked, “where did you get your hair done”, I know I have done my job! Reach out today for a new look and renewed confidence. I look forward to meeting you and
learning about you.
