Client Reviews
“From start to finish Danica was very informative and made me feel very comfortable. Her space is clean and comfy! I had my eyebrows done, she took her time and made sure that I was satisfied with the pre drawn lines before starting with the full process. Danica is easy to communicate with and is super sweet! Please go check her out if you're looking for quality services!”

“I can't recommend Danica enough for lip blushing! She is a true artist and made the entire experience seamless. She has an incredible eye for color theory--she custom-blended the perfect shade to first correct my hyperpigmentation and then really enhanced my natural lips based on the inspo photo I gave her while giving them a beautiful, defined shape. The studio was spotless with such a cute aesthetic and she made me so comfortable I fell asleep a few times. Danica's technique is incredible and she is such a sweet person. I'm officially obsessed with the results; I wake up every day with the perfect tint and don't even need lipstick anymore. If you're on the fence, this is your sign to book with her!”

“i got my lip blush done with danica and just finished my touch-up about a month ago and i honestly love how it turned out. she really listens to what you want but also gives her professional opinion so you still feel guided and confident with the process. my goal was making my lips look fuller and more even, and she definitely did that. the photo shows my before my first session and now with no balm on and the difference is subtle but noticeable in the best way. the color healed very natural and i actually feel more put together even without makeup now. she made me feel prettier in such an effortless way and i'm really glad i trusted her with this”

“I'm so incredibly happy that I found Danica for my lip blush. I was considering doing lip fillers but was afraid that it was too much for my daily look (which is casual and very not glam) and saw an alternative that may work for me. I messaged Danica on Instagram and she responded so quickly and we agreed on an in-person consultation. Her space in the studio was clean and made me feel so at ease. I showed her inspo pics and we worked on getting a shape that I wanted. The lip blush process went smoothly and I am so happy with the results. She is very meticulous, concerned about my comfort during the session, and gave me instructions before the procedure and very detailed aftercare instructions. Thank you Danica and I'm telling everyone I know about you! "
