When I started my career in the permanent makeup industry in 2016, I had no f**king clue what I was doing. At the time, I ultimately thought I did. However, looking back on the first few years of my career, I had yet to learn what I was doing.
And honestly, it took me three years to admit that I needed to learn, grow, and upskill myself. I only took two trainings during my first three years as a permanent makeup artist. At the time, I thought that was enough. However, as someone who constantly strives for personal and professional development, I am horrified looking back.
But there was a light switch moment when I knew if I wanted to be the best artist for my clients and myself. I needed to seek out as many training opportunities as I could. Over the next three years, I spent around $45,000 on training. This is just the cost of the education and doesn’t include my travel expenses or time away from my studio or the other jobs I was working before I was a full-time artist.
While at first, this might seem like a lot of money, and maybe it is if you need to see a return on this incredible investment, my business grew 100% every year, even throughout Covid. That means every year, the number of clients I saw doubled year after year. This led me to hire a team because I couldn’t keep up with all the clients, even as I morphed into an octopus who could serve three clients at once. Yes, three at once!
As my clients and team grew during this period, I went from having a small studio to having three locations that employed a staff of 15 super-talented individuals. They have put tremendous work and effort into their craft and artistry and grown their own client lists.
None of this would have happened the way it did if I never made the hard and conscious decision to reinvest everything I could spare into myself and my career. Even if that meant I had to live uncomfortably for a while. I cannot imagine where I or my business would be had I not put in the work, and I wouldn’t have the skills I have today that allow me to provide my clients the highest level of value.
This is a business that lives and breathes through word-of-mouth referrals. The more value I provide clients, the more likely they are to share their experience with others or online reviews, and those referrals also become clients, so the snowball rolls and grows.
Simply put, you can only provide value if you possess the skill. To possess the skill, you must have the humility to know that you can always be doing better, learning more, and growing further.

Hybrid Brows
A brow training for any and ALL artists, I designed this training to teach you all most common and popular brow techniques so that way you can have the right tools after this training to continue to practice and give every client an option that’s best suitable for them. Many times you just learn one technique at a training making it difficult to give your clients proper options for them. The hybrid brow class makes it so that you can learn how each technique is done, who its good for and why! This training focuses on: Nano brows, Powder brows, Micro-blading, and a Combo: Hybrid Brows – a technique where we can incorporate all different brow styles into one.
Borderless Lips
A technique invented by myself!
After years of preforming lip-blush on clients I knew that the way I was taught after having over 5 certifications in lip-blush alone, the “lined” lips with a ton of pigment not properly blending into the rest of the lips was NOT for me. I wanted to invent lip blush for everyone lip blush that grows WITH you, that can easily be changed and modified providing subtle enhancements .
Eyeliner X3
In This specific eyeliner training I teach you how to do a basic lash line enhancement and elevate it to a wing and Smokey winged liner! I want to make sure that any client you have at your studio can get the eyeliner of their dreams, covering all eyeliner methods and elevating each one.

I was in a group training course with Danielle and it was amazing! From the moment I walked in I felt welcomed and was comfortable. The establishment is professional and very aesthetically pleasing.
The class was very informative and I learned a lot, Danielle was by our sides the whole time we were practicing to help guide us. I loved my time in the class along with the information I got from it.
Five star Danielle is literally the best instructor I had an amazing time learning from her and experiencing the vibe she puts off! 10/10 training and I am super excited to have been certified by this company.
I recently had my brows done by Danielle. I had an absolute AMAZING experience with her. I had previous microblading done about 3 years ago by another artist that left a slight red tint on my skin. I submitted some pictures via email and Danielle was so helpful and responded so quickly. I booked my appointment immediately and she suggested that we do a powder brow. My results are BEAUTIFUL and they are perfectly corrected! They are exactly what I wanted and I COULD NOT BE HAPPIER! Additionally the shop is beautiful and each and every staff member are so sweet and welcoming! I honestly can’t wait for my touch up appointment and I am also planning on looking into the additional services that the lovely staff offer! 10000/10 would recommend!
I took a training with Danielle to learn eyeliner and it was the single greatest educational experience of my career. She was attentive, knowledgeable, and so encouraging. Most of all though, Danielle and her team exude so much positivity and passion for the industry. I can’t wait to eventually come back to learn more!
I did an advanced training for Lip Blush and 3x Eyeliner with Danielle. The training was informative and professional. I’m excited to add these services to my business. Danielle is a master at her craft and extremely sweet and kind. I not only gained knowledge and mentorship, I also gained a friend.
I was lucky enough to take Danielle’s 1×1 training for nanoblading. She is a beautiful human being and a brilliant teacher! I felt like the class was completely custom to my needs even though we had just met. Danielle is phenomenal at what she does but still manages to remain humble! Her training was literally like therapy; I walked away feeling so confident and positive about bringing a new service to my business in 2023. Take one class with Danielle and I promise, you will not want it to be your last!
Recently took an educational PMU course with Danielle in order to expand my knowledge in cosmetic tattooing. I am already certified in New York State but love Danielle’s work and wanted to become certified in lip blushing and eyeliner as well. It’s a 3 day seminar, with the first being theory and the second two being hands on practice with live models. Not all educators offer live models, so I was grateful Danielle went out of her way to find us actual models who were open to student work. Her and Jenn were so helpful and walked each student through every step. I would 100% recommend the work from Brows and education from Danielle to anyone involved in the PMU industry.
Brows is such a welcoming environment. Danielle definitely only employs the best people. I would recommend any of her locations to anyone looking for permanent makeup. I also know firsthand that she has one of the best training programs out there. I have been a client and a student of Brows and have nothing but incredible things to say about Danielle and her team!
I had the pleasure of being an eyeliner demo for Danielle at one of her training seminars recently. Not only is she talented, but she is super sweet and professional. I had a wonderful experience, and I can’t wait to have my touch up and future services done by her! Top tier and a true artist/teacher.
I was a model for a Face educational course and oh my goodness. I could have spent all day there. Everyone was so kind. The owner Danielle has the most amazing energy and is so sweet; it created a positive and peaceful environment. Not to mention my lips came out absolutely beautiful and I couldn’t be happier.
Also… if you’re a low maintenance girl like me there is nothing better than waking up and not have to add anything besides some lipgloss and go!
I’ve been incredibly lucky to have my brows done by Danielle as well as Training! I’ve been having my brows done by her since 2018, I have since also received lip blush service by her and then continued on to even undergo training by her which helped me so much more than any other trainings I have had.
Danielle is incredibly honest and thorough with the information she provides, is professional and HIGHLY skilled. I consistently get compliments on my eyebrows and have also found there really isn’t anyone as skilled at brows as her.
Actually though may I note: Her employees all also do AMAAAZING brows following the guidance of Danielle as well. When Danielles books are full every single artist here is more than capable at doing phenomenal and unmatched-able work.
Not only is Brows Cosmetic Tattooing one of the cutest shops in all of North Conway, the experience being a client is unmatched. I felt instantly comfortable and upon talking to both Danielle and Nikki any worry or doubts I had went right away. Danielle did my brows and Nikki did my eyeliner. It was very clear I was in the best hands, they both are so knowledgeable and explained everything in detail as it was being done so I never wondered what was going on.
I also had the pleasure of taking a training with Danielle which was fantastic. She has the most welcoming supportive energy and it is so apparent the wealth of knowledge she possesses. She took me through everything I need to know in order to be the best possible PMU artist. I was nervous at first to complete my first set of brows, but she was there supporting me every step of the way and they came out amazing.
If you are considering getting any permanent makeup done I wholeheartedly recommend any of the Brows Cosmetic Tattooing locations!
