The Studio
The Permanent Cosmetic and Lash Studio was established by Carmella Gibellino-Schultz in 1999 in West Chester, PA. Carmella created such a large following doing just about everything in the beauty industry, so it was a natural progression for her to shift her focus on a specific craft. 20 years and over 10,000 happy clients later, The Permanent Cosmetic and Lash Studio is highly sought after both locally and nationally for its permanent cosmetic solutions and other beauty services including eyelash extensions and skin treatments. Kristina, our business manager makes sure to keep the entire studio running smoothly, with her help from Sadie at the front desk. These two girls keep the flow moving in the studio and Carmella could not keep the place running without them. Carmella is surrounded by a young, talented, and skilled team. Beauty abounds at the studio and she is always inspired by their creativity and fresh ideas.
Our modern, yet cozy, studio is located in a professional office park just a turn off of Route 1, Baltimore Pike in Chadds Ford, Pennsylvania—not far from the Brandywine River Museum. Walking in our door, you will find a reception area and four state-of-the-art procedure rooms that resemble modern dental offices with a comfy spa environment twist. Extreme care is taken for your sanitation and safety, as well as your comfort and peace of mind.
