Instead of simplifying our daily routines, makeup can feel more like a chore –– leaving us with a whole whirlwind of questions . . .

How do I know what color is the right shade? Are my eyebrows the right shape for my face? How do I go throughout the day without my eyeliner smudging or mascara clumping? Thanks to The Permanent Cosmetic & Lash Studio, you can kiss the everyday nuisance of makeup goodbye and finally bring the color you’ve always desired into your life.

Now, you might be thinking . . . “Permanent?!” We get it sounds intimidating! But rest assured, it’s only scary if you’re in the wrong hands. At The Permanent Cosmetic & Lash Studio, our artists have the experience and precision needed to make your results both natural and lasting. Unlike most artists, Carmella Davies and Kristina Bray are also licensed cosmetologists, combining their deep understanding of skin, anatomy, and color theory to deliver the most trusted and sought-after results in the tristate area.

Many clients throughout the decades of Carmella’s career say she has the “magic touch,” mastering a natural look for the single most important feature on one’s face; the eyebrows.

One client said, “It is amazing to wake up everyday without having to worry about putting on my makeup or reapplying and retouching as the day goes on. As a child I over-plucked my eyebrows and never felt confident in drawing them on myself. As a result of Carmella’s perfectionist attitude, my eyebrows, eyeliner, and lip color are perfect. I get so many compliments and nobody would know I had my make-up tattooed on unless I told them. My only regret is that I did not visit The Permanent Cosmetic & Lash Studio sooner!”

Carmella and Kristina’s precise and thorough artistry are true lifesavers for those who are guilty of doing what most of us have done at one point or another; over-plucking, over-drawing, and using an eyebrow pencil of the wrong shade.

Our artists pour their heart into every detail. Not only do they ensure your results look beautiful today but will continue to bloom and age gracefully over time. Every stroke, shade, and movement is designed to enhance your natural features and leave you feeling confident day after day. Genava witnessed this first hand; “Kristina and all of the staff were so welcoming and helpful! Kristina went over and above to make me feel comfortable and answer all of my millions of questions patiently. She felt comfortable to let me know when a procedure may not age well and was very honest with me about what procedures I would even need. To me, someone who values honesty and integrity over just trying to make money is everything and I definitely found that here. I had permanent eyeliner done and it looks amazing! 10/10 would recommend!”

Permanent makeup can also play a major component in building one’s self-esteem. After West Chester’s native, Holly Grum paid a visit to Carmella, her life and daily routine was forever changed. “As a sufferer of Alopecia Universalis, I found myself waking up extra early to put on my hair piece, put on my fake eyelashes, and draw on my eyebrows,” Grum said. “Even on days where I was just going to the gym, I had to put makeup on to feel somewhat normal. Carmella gave me a new sense of confidence and freedom when I decided to get my eyebrows and eyeliner tattooed. She helped me feel ‘normal’ again and I will be forever grateful for that.”

Permanent cosmetics may sound -too permanent- if you’re just starting out. That is totally understandable! We offer eyelash extensions, which can be the perfect ice breaker for you to wake up with makeup with out the daily effort and hassle of mascara. Whether you want a natural subtle enhancement or full volume with lots of drama, Emily Stewart and Kristina Bray are your girls. They create and customize each set to your specific eye shape, style and comfort.

Many clients will start with extensions to get to know The Studio and get a glimpse of the glamorous world of low maintenance. Jaqueline experienced this, “Eyeliner, brows, and lashes done by Kristina (so far). She’s insanely talented and precise. Waking up every day now without having to do my eyeliner or brows is seriously the best.

And my lashes? Always ready to go. Kristina nailed it, making everything look natural but on point. If you’re even a little curious about getting something done, she’s your go-to. Trust me, it’s a total game-changer!”

Whether you’re a makeup girly or not, The Permanent Cosmetic & Lash Studio is the place to boost your confidence over night. Our clients often tell us the moment they leave The Studio they instantly feel like the best versions of themselves.

At our Studio, every procedure is tailored for you and only you. Carmella, Kristina and Emily all spend the time understanding your goals, assessing your features along with your lifestyle to be able to recommend a look that suits you best. Wether the change, is minimal or huge we ensure that every stroke of pigment or lash fan is throughly applied for long lasting, yet natural results.

Many clients find this brings a new discovery in yourself. Feeling beautiful on the outside often will translate to feeling more confident inside, making not only the day to day life easier, but every special occasion just that much more special and enjoyable. For thousands of clients, our work is not just cosmetic, its transformative.

With a visit to The Permanent Cosmetic & Lash Studio, you can finally take on the world with the color and confidence you deserve! For more information on Carmella, Kristina, and Emily’s magic and how to book a consultation, call or text us at (610)-883-0638 or email [email protected].

“Carmella is the best of the best! I would never even consider any other place for permanent makeup! Heck, I’d go see her just because!! Seriously, her talents are incredible. You can’t go wrong, and she will talk you through the whole process.

Treat yourself, it’s worth it!” ~ Suzanne
