Permanent Joy by Veronika Taylor

Permanent Joy is the Seattle studio of Veronika Taylor, who calls her work European permanent makeup artistry. She describes herself as a Certified Permanent Cosmetic Professional and an SPCP member. Her site says she took third place for powder brows at a worldwide permanent makeup competition in Canada. Services include powder brows (also called ombre or shading brows, done with a machine and needle rather than a hand tool), eyeliner, lash enhancement and lip blushing. She also offers combo sessions that cover more than one area.

Each treatment includes the first session and a touch-up about a month later. Clients who have had work done by another artist are asked to send daylight photos before booking. Existing clients can come back within 18 months for a color boost session, and they get an email reminder 12 months after their last touch-up. According to the site, powder brows last 1.5 to 3 years. Veronika also works with men and with mature clients, including people whose brows have turned gray or light. The studio is in Ballard, parking is free, and appointments and consultations are booked online.
