Kimm Artistry

Kimm Artistry is a permanent makeup studio and training academy in San Jose, California. The site describes its founder, Kimm, as an experienced artist in the permanent makeup industry. She has trained her esthetician, Gaileen, to provide eyelash extensions and waxing. The studio offers ombre powder brows, combo brows (nano hairstrokes with shading), correction and cover-up brows, dusty eyeliner tattoos, lip blush and neutralization, fine line tattoos and saline tattoo lightening. Touch ups are available for brows, eyes and lips. Clients can choose a 30 minute in-person consultation or a 10 minute virtual one, and services are booked online. The site posts pre-care and aftercare instructions. For saline lightening, it notes that 8 full weeks of healing must pass between sessions.

Kimm also runs training. Her ombre brow course is a 2-day, in-person program held in monthly cohorts with limited seats. It includes live model practice, a student kit, a training manual and a certificate of completion. According to the site, California does not require a cosmetology or esthetician license to enroll, and the course does not grant a state license.
