Testimonials about Permanent Makeup
"First of all, I am a 58 year old former model, who
years ago opted out of the business.
Recently, call it vanity, or sanity, I began considering
"Radiance" injections at eighteen hundred dollars
for fuller lips with effects which might last a year. I had
TMJ surgery ten years ago, and although the surgery was a
total success; post surgery my lower lip was left less than
symmetrical. Age too, seemed to compound the look of "losing
my lips". Collagen was expensive and lost it's effectiveness
in less than 3 months.
In surfing the net for lips, I came upon permanent makeup
ads, which I found interesting, if only they could do what
they said.
Nancy's (now Board Certified) credentials impressed me. I
consulted with Nancy about the procedure, thinking that if
it only cost around $500, it must not be very good, however
after consulting with Nancy I felt a level of confidence in
at least getting better lip definition.
To make a long story short, Nancy performed permanent make-up
procedures for full lips, and not only has the procedure cost
a fraction of what the injectible Radiance would cost; I now
have full lips, with a corrected asymmetrical lower lip that
is far fuller in appearance, than I ever imagined possible.
I am no longer considering invasive, expensive injectibles.
Plus this procedure did not hurt. I went back to work the
same day.
Added plusses, I wake up in the morning looking vital. After
brushing my teeth at work, I no longer have to hide, before
I reapply my lipstick. Recently I unexpectedly appeared on
TV in an interview, it was a sick day for me, with little
makeup; yet, friends and family said that I looked better
than ever. I was actually wearing little makeup, with absolutely
no lipstick on that day-yet my lips were gorgeous as I spoke
on camera.
Too, after kissing . . . which I do, do, from time to time,
even at 58, (LOL).. .I look the same before, as I do after.
And I might add, there is no lipstick on him, or me.
I daily continue, to count the blessings of this procedure,
as I find more and more advantages as time goes by. (Like
looking alive in social settings, after eating, and being
the last to pull out my compact to check out my lipstick.)
My only regret is that I did not do this sooner; and for
once I am glad that my budget is such, that I must count every
penny, as this was the best investment in myself. I have,
by all means, saved myself thirteen hundred dollars in having
permanent makeup instead of injectible procedures through
cosmetic surgeons costing 3 times as much.
I cannot recommend this procedure highly enough through Nancy.
If you want the best for your money, see Nancy, you will only
be sorry that you did not do this sooner. We are so lucky
to have her here locally! This procedure is absolutely incredible."

PS: The collage I made (see collage of Lips in Photo
Gallery) simply represents to some woman, "what to expect".
If I had seen photos of the process before the procedure,
I would have been able to show the people around me, "what
to expect" -instead, they watched me (my lips) KIND OF
fade away in the first six weeks. In my mind I could not understand
WHY this procedure was not MORE POPULAR. I think that I see
why. For the first six weeks, the women around me had a higher
level of expectation than I did (people want to see immediate
and lasting results, and this is where patience is necessary).
I mean, I had read what to expect, and I truly wanted to PROVE
to some, that I had spent my money WISELY.
"I have been a client of Nancy La Touche's for several
years. While I was afraid to get permanent makeup at first
due to pain, Nancy assured me that I would be very comfortable
and (nearly) pain free. She is absolutely correct. She is
a perfectionist in her work and I did not feel much discomfort.
I love my permanent make-up and always look made-up with no
effort. I am busy and this saves me lots of time and money
with makeup. I highly recommend Nancy to anyone wanting permanent
make-up. I would never go to anyone else."

"I first thought about getting permanent eyeliner because
I had problems with getting it on and getting it to stay on.
I was very nervous about having something 'permanent' done.
But I went ahead and looked into it. I went on-line and found
several web sites on permanent makeup. Nancy's website was
the best I saw; she had a lot of before and after photos,
and several great credentials listed. I called Nancy and she
was very informative and I could tell she knew what she was
talking about. Nancy made me feel comfortable with my decision
to get permanent eyeliner. (She told me I would love it, and
I do!)
I loved her work and the way she worked so much that I wanted
to get my lips colored. Nancy helped me to decide on a good
lip color for my skin and now I don't even need to wear lipstick!
Nancy again did an awesome job!
Well there was only one thing left, my brows. I was a bit
nervous about having my brows done, but I trusted Nancy's
work. I now have my brows done, and of course they look great.
I can't say enough about how happy I am with all three procedures,
and the way Nancy spends her time to do it right and how you
like it. I am constantly bragging to everyone about Nancy
and how much I love my permanent make up! I would recommend
Nancy for permanent make up to anyone who wants to look good
all the time!"

Indulge! A New Pilot Talk Show About Spas and Their
Procedures
"When I set out to produce a show about spa living,
I knew one of the segments would have to be about permanent
make-up. I scoured the Web and found a plethora of artists...especially
in the Los Angeles area. I decided I would choose an artist
by using a single criterion: Who would I choose to work on
me? When I found alwayslookyourbest.com, I was impressed with
the professionalism portrayed through the site. The before
and after pictures were believable. The explanations were
understandable. And mostly, Nancy's credentials were impressive.
After speaking on the phone, I knew I had the right person
for the segment. On the day of the shoot, Nancy and her subject
showed up early and prepared. She was accommodating and professional.
The segment went perfectly, shot in only one take. And perhaps
most importantly, the procedure Nancy performed looked great!"

"Being a fair haired person I always envied people's
eyebrows. I wanted to accentuate the positives on my face
but makeup was not the answer for me because my skin is so
oily it would usually not stay through the end of the day.
That's when I discovered permanent makeup. No more fuss! You
are beautiful all the time! You wake-up and go to sleep always
looking your best! I searched for a technician that was well
trained, for quite some time. Then my salon, that I frequent,
added a permanent makeup technician. But Nancy was more than
a technician; she is a permanent makeup artist! I was so thrilled
after reading Nancy's flyer, her portfolio and checking out
her website, I called Nancy right away. We talked and she
explained all aspects of the procedure, cost and expectations.
I decided to put it off no longer and gave myself the gift
of permanent eyebrows! I am so happy - you can't imagine.
Now I have great eyebrows that accent my face and when people
find out that they are permanent makeup they are just blown
away. I recommend Nancy highly!"
Thanks

"I had considered permanent makeup for about a year
before I did it. I was afraid it would hurt and was concerned
about how it would look. I am so glad I had it done and wish
that I had it done years earlier! The pain is minimal and
Nancy numbs you prior to any procedure. She takes the time
and will stop at any point if you are uncomfortable. The swelling
is minimal and goes down with ice. Once you have the procedure
done you will understand that the pain is so minimal and the
outcome is so wonderful. Nancy is very gentle doing the procedure.
It looks so natural and you can virtually wear no makeup.
My face is light and looks more natural. Also I was developing
an allergy to my eyeliner and it itched all day long. Now
I have nothing on my eyes and I love the way it feels. So
for people with allergies it is perfect! Also I love that
when I rub my eyes my makeup does not rub off. So your makeup
stays perfect all day long. Nancy stops while doing the procedure
and has you look at the progress. She asks for your opinion
and takes any suggestions and does them. She wants it to look
how you want it to. "

"I recently decided to have a permanent makeup procedure
that would apply full, natural color to my lips. My reason
for wanting this procedure was because my lips had lost their
natural color pigmentation and I was constantly applying lipstick
to avoid that 'washed out' look. Through referrals, I chose
Nancy LaTouche to do the procedure. This was a wise decision,
as Nancy is such a dedicated and caring professional. Every
detail of the procedure was explained to me along with preparation
and post-procedure guidelines. As I am sensitive to pain in
that area, my anticipation and nervousness was natural. I
must say, however, that Nancy took great effort to ensure
that I was comfortable and that the pain was minimal, which
it was. I am extremely pleased with the results and would
gladly refer Nancy to anyone wishing to look and feel better
about themselves."

"I love my eyebrows...you were so right... I came home
and put a little eyeshadow and lipstick on....my husband says
they look fantastic... I hope they don't fade too much...I'll
make a big effort in the Aftercare dept... I really love the
shape; Nancy...my husband says they make me look younger...

"I must say that my experience was a pleasant surprise.
I thought it would be painful, but it was actually very relaxing.
I am extremely happy with the results of my lip procedure.
My top lip was much smaller than my bottom and Nancy made
the top lip look bigger and fuller - I love my lips now! I
would definitely trust Nancy with any permanent cosmetic procedure
and high recommend her to anyone."
Casey R., Orange
"I just absolutely love my lip color. However, I must
admit that I was surprised to see the deep red color on my
lips immediately after, but the next day it was so pretty.
As far as the procedure goes, I thought Nancy's technique
was excellent. Day 4 was the best day for lips and eyeliner.
I actually found most of the procedure rather relaxing."

"My name is Pamela, a 44-year old resident of Long
Beach, who contacted Nancy LaTouche in late 2002 to solicit
her help in trying to reverse facial scars created by a dermabrasion
surgery. Having paid thousands of dollars for dermabrasion
surgery to improve my skin, and ending up with horrific, indented
scars, you can imagine my outrage and depression as I labored
to find solutions to this unexpected debacle. The doctor who
scarred me was of no help, in fact, he refused to even address
the matter with me. Hence, I was left to my own devices to
try and find scar revision techniques.
One such technique is that of "needling", wherein
the scar tissue is "needled" numerous times with
the type of small needles used in permanent makeup artistry.
In researching this technique, I found Nancy's website on
line, and was immediately impressed by her thoroughness and
professionalism. I called Nancy to explain my situation, and
was humbled by her compassionate response and willingness
to devote her time and expertise in trying to help me. Nancy
explained that she had not, personally, performed needling
(in fact, most such professionals have not done so), yet she
jumped in with both feet to research the matter, emailed knowledgeable
contacts, and invested long hours in studying this matter.
We eventually met at her offices for a "test run"
in needling several scars. Nancy had read up on numerous articles
and documents about this technique, so as to be well versed
in its application. She spent a good 2 hours meeting with
me and performing the test run, all the while demonstrating
the utmost in professionalism, care and concern. Despite her
many hours devoted to my problem, Nancy charged me only a
fraction of her usual fee. She has since been in touch regularly
to check up on my healing and progress, and continues to offer
leads into scar revision techniques for me.
I cannot say enough about the care, professionalism and expertise
demonstrated by Nancy LaTouche, and feel blessed to have met
this exceptional woman."

"I love my new permanent makeup. I now have the choice
of not having to add makeup if I don't feel like it. I was
always so self conscience about having no brows (plucked them
out when I was a teenager and they never grew back). The eyeliner
enhanced my eyes and makes my eyes look so natural. I actually
feel and look younger!
Nancy is very patient and stops very often during the procedure
so you can see how it's coming along. She is very conscientious
about having everything clean and sterile. Initially there
is a little discomfort but it goes away after the topical
is applied. She is thorough when explaining the procedure
so you know what she will be doing and it makes you feel more
at ease. I highly recommend permanent makeup and having Nancy
do yours!"
