Elle Beauty Co.

Elle Beauty Co. is a studio in Renton, Washington, run by Elle Pavlenko, who works as both an artist and an educator. The site lists 10 years of experience and the title Certified Educator. The studio offers permanent makeup, fine-line tattoos and permanent jewelry. For brows, clients can choose nano brows, microblading, combination brows, or powder or ombré brows. Their site notes that skin type affects whether microblading is a good fit, and that the powder style often works well for oilier skin. Other services include permanent eyeliner (anything from a subtle lash line enhancement to a classic line), lip blush, and small fine-line tattoos such as botanicals, script and symbols.

Each client starts by filling out a consultation form about their goals, skin and relevant history. Shape, color and technique are talked through before any work begins, and the studio says nothing goes into the skin until the client has seen and approved the design. A perfecting session is offered after healing when appropriate. Appointments are requested through the website, and Elle then confirms which service is the right fit.
