Little Ferns Cosmetics

Little Ferns Cosmetics is a permanent makeup studio in Alexandria, Virginia, led by artist Ash, who presents the studio as a collaboration between artist and client focused on natural looking results. Her signature brow is customized to each client's face shape and blends microblading with microshading. Powder brows and nano hairstrokes (machine hairstrokes) are also offered, and the site notes that many clients turn out not to be candidates for microblading. Other services include lip blushing in custom shades and permanent eyeliner, from a subtle lash line enhancement to a small diffused wing.

Clients with faded work from another artist can add a cover up or color correction, which must be approved first by email with a photo or through a consultation. Current clients can book an initial touch-up 6 to 12 weeks after their first session, or a color refresh later on. The studio says lip blushing heals in 5 to 7 days and then lightens by about 30 to 50 percent. Brow, lip and eyeliner services come with an aftercare kit. Ash lists training with several studios and artists, among them Maryna Sizova and Julie Kim Brows. Booking is done online through the site.
