Julia is an artist with permenent cosmetics

by Siobhan Fitzgerald

I was given the opportunity to have permanent eyeliner done. I was referred to Julia of Pigmenta and met with her. She understood I was a bit nervous and took the time to talk with me about what I was looking to achieve. She was very understanding and listened to my needs and produced the most amazing looking eyeliner I described to a T. She has a talent in not only her work but her ability to listen to her clients. I highly recommend Julia if you are considering permanent makeup or hair/lash extensions.
Julia I will be back and thank you!

Pros: She listens to her clients

Julia Bowers @ Pigmenta

by SBSouthShore

I recently had permanent makeup to my brows by Julia and I love it. I had wanted to have this done for a long time, but kept hesitating until I happened on Julia's website and saw her beautiful, very natural work. She matched the color of my sparse brows exactly, and used fine little hair strokes to fill in and extend my brows; no flat tattoo look at all! My brows now look better than they ever have in my life! Julia is super nice, patient and kind. She is reasonably priced for this kind of work, and you can absolutely trust her opinion and skills. If you're thinking about permanent makeup, see Julia, you won't regret it. I'm going back...I'm thinking eyeliner next!

Pros: Beautiful, natural looking permanent makeup

Cons: Absolutely none!

Julia is my HERO!!!!

by Kimberly2009

I suffer from OCD which means I obsess about certain things and make up was a big issue for me. I am obsessed with appearance and struggled daily, often not even leaving my home because I didn't look "right". My eyeliner had to be perfect and was difficult to get perfectly done. It literally took me hours to get my face right enough to go somewhere. I'd lived like this since 1978. In 2009 I heard about permanent eyeliner! I was thrilled but terrified. I researched everything about it and everywhere to get it done. After several serious interviews with people who do this I found Juli. She was so professional, caring, reassuring, precise, etc. etc. I finally found the only person I would let try to attempt to deal with my extremely high standards. I THANK GOD LITERALLY EVERY DAY FOR JULI!! With her support I hesitantly gave in to never having to deal with my aggravation and stress of OCD perfect eyes again. I was scared and I told my family as I left "Mommy may come home blind tonight". Juli was so totally awesome at reassuring me and making me feel comfortable about everything. I got my eyes upper and lower done and get ready for this Miss Picky even got my lips done! I wanted both my eyes and lips done but was more in it for the eyes. Juli really took the time to be certain my lips were actually some thing I desired. I did! But I was picky and wanted a natural shade I did not want it to look like I had lipstick just applied coming out of the ocean... She matched the next shade of color up from my lips and did the most amazing job one could imagine. I shove my face right into others and ask "Do you like my tattoo"? They look at me like I'm crazy. I then say "seriously my face is tattooed on" then I look really nuts till I explain that I had permanent makeup work done and point out where. I've had nothing but positive feedback. I love telling everyone as this has made such a big improvement for my life. I will enjoy the rest of it without staring in the mirror repeatedly to see if I look o.k. How much time do you waste on obsessing about your appearance? The amount of time I spent is countless. I can enjoy more time with my child and feel good about how I look. God Bless you Juli, you truly are an artist. I can't thank you enough for this!!!

Pros: Just as I wanted, looks awesome, major time saver!!!

Cons: None!!!

Julia is the BEST!!!!!

by mindybernard

Julia is absolutely amazing! The permanent make- up she applies is perfect! You look great afterwards and she really makes you feel calm and comfortable during and after the procedures! Not only is she gifted at what she does, she is a kind, generous and sweet person. She is "permanent make-up" at it's best! Her prices are extremely reasonable, but it is the final outcome that is phenomenal. I am a Registered Nurse and highly recommend her for methods of maintaining sterility and cleanliness. I have no doubt that every morning you will wake up ready to go and be thankful that you meet Julia! Sincerely, Mindy Bernard (Client of Julia Bauer)

Pros: all thuumbs up

Permanent make up by Julia

by PTKels

My sister and I both have had our eyeliner done by Julia and love it. It takes only half of the time to put on make up in the morning and it is always straight. I have had her curl and tint my eyelashes several times and they always look fabulous. I have saved so much time and money now that I don't need to purchase eyeliner and mascara.
She created eyebrows for a friend of mine and they look fabulous. In the past my friend had to carry make up in case it rained or she wiped her brow and now she can get up and leave the house without being concerned about not having her eyebrows on. They look so natural, match beautifully and the color is perfect. My friend and I were both amazed.
Julia is outstanding in her technique and has done these procedures for several years. If you want a professional that really knows what she is doing make sure you go to Julia.

Pros: Permanent make up does not run or streak and think of the money you save on make up

Cons: I just wish I lived closer.

Pigmenta is amazing!!

by StephCappa

I have had numerous procedures done by Julia and it has always turned out fantastic! She shapes my eyebrows by threading them, and permanent make up on my eyebrows and eyeliner. I always get compliments on my brows, as to how perfect they always look. The permanent eyeliner is so natural looking, that people don't even think I am wearing liner, but compliment how beautiful my eyes are. Julia is so professional and very conscientous of her work. She works with your natural look to create the most beautiful natural-looking you. I could not live without the permanent make up anymore--it's so much easier than applying the standard make up everyday, and worrying about smudging or reapplying. Julia creates a stunning look, and makes you feel great about yourself.

Pros: She is highly experienced and knows what you need better than you do. A perfectionist, and clearly cares about her clients.

Cons: none.

Pigmenta - The absolute best for permanent makeup!

by BLG1

Julia is terrific ? she is professional, personable, and excellent in her business. My skin and hair are very light, and before I met Julia, I always had to apply a lot of eye makeup. But several years ago, I had Julia do permanent eyeliner on my upper and lower lids, and I was so thrilled with the results, that I then had my eyebrows done. I have since had Julia do eyelash extensions, and now everything is so easy. I think my eyes look perfect, even without putting on makeup! The permanent makeup is so natural looking, and the process is painless. I would recommend Julia to anyone considering permanent make-up. She truly is the best!

Pros: Very natural looking; always look as though I have eye makeup on - even on the beach!

Cons: None

Pigmenta is Great!!

by DHQuine

I originally had eyelash enhancement 2 years ago, loved it so much went back to have a thicker line done. So far, I have had eyelash uppers and lowers, and lip liner. I have brought my mom (81 years old), sister, cousins, and a bunch of friends to Julia. She is awesome. She makes you feel so comfortable and relaxed. There is no pain and very little swelling. I would definitely recommend permanent make-up and more importantly Julia. She is the best!!!!

Pros: never have to put eyeliner on ever again. Julia is very skilled and I felt very safe.

Cons: can't think of any
