Still Waiting... But Open

Moving is almost always a pain... Even when you're excited about it... even when you know it's the right thing to do,

But it's still a pain nonetheless, and the move of my shop after 17 years in the same location has been just like any other.

I'm really excited about the place! Like I mentioned before, it's a house that's over 100 years old and it's funky and quaint (and I am of course giving it my special Lady Fish touch!!!!). I've spent the last several months (along with my two generations of helpers like you see in the picture) creating an amazing and wonderful place for clients old and new to relax in and enjoy while making them selves "always perfect!"

But now I'm having to wait for permits... and you know how THAT can be.

But my new neighbors have come to my rescue and while I wait on the government... YOU don't have to wait on me. I am presently seeing clients in the studio next door and making appointments on a regular basis, so feel free to give me a call at the new number 772-466-BROW. I'll be happy to set you up with an appointment or a consultation and you can check out the progress on my new place.

To find out where we're located check the main website at http://alwaysperfect.com There's a map and info... and updates on my progress... all there.

Happy Holidays!!!

Happy Holidays to ALL my loyal clients and friends!

It's been quite a year with lots going on... and now this BIG MOVE (the first in seventeen years!) from my old location in Pt. St. Lucie to the new place (in a wonderful old building) in Ft. Pierce.

The new location is at 1005 W Midway Rd., Ft Pierce 34982 and you can even get a map to the location on my website. I haven't opened officially yet, but I am making appointments with folks, so give me a call at my new phone number 772-466-BROW (2769) or drop me an email from the website.

I'm really excited about this new location... it's a wonderful old building that I've spent the last several months remodeling and redecorating to fit just the kind of place you expect from "The Fish Lady." Please give us a call and come by to say hi.

While you're at it... why not consider a "no-surgery makeover" for the holidays, a special new look (new brows, full lips) for the new year, or maybe just a spruce up to get you ready for the next new adventure.

What better time than the new year to kick in to a NEW LOOK?

I'm Moving... But Not Very Far

After 16 1/2 years, I'm ready to make a move. I first opened in Ft Pierce in 1979. Then shops in Jensen Beach and Port St Lucie, now I'm headed back to Ft Pierce also known as "White City." The new address is 1005 W Midway Rd., Ft Pierce 34982

The new location is in a house that is 100 years old. Like me it's a piece of South Florida history. That's one of the reasons I like it... History... I'm a piece of history in this area too! Combining age and beauty with "permanent make-up."

When I first opened Always Perfect Permanent make-up on Prima Vista Blvd. People would come in and ask "What is Permanent Make-up?"

"What do you mean permanent eyebrows, eyeliner, full lips?"

I did a lot of consultations and had to educate people to the many benefits this process has to offer. "Is it a tattoo?" they would ask. "Ow.... I won't do that," then they would say, but then they'd give it another thought as they looked in my magic mirror and say, "Oh, I don't care, I just won't tell anyone!"

But before they knew it, they were telling everyone!

My clients would come back in just to tell me how wonderful everyone would tell them they looked. They loved it. They would come back and say " Do you know great this is?" I'd say "yes, I told you so!" And then I'd just smile.

I did so many newspaper and magazine articles I lost count. The stories explained the many benefits my work had to offer. I used the TV to eduacate the public. The medical professionals even appreciated what I was doing for people. They refered clients to my office. People would say, I've read about you that I feel I already know you.

My landlady was the late Mrs Tanner. Mr & Mrs had owned Tanner pharmacy on the end of the plaza years earlier. She would come for her rent each month and socialize. She never raised my rent for 11 years. Nor did we need a lease after the first year. It was a nice relationship. Another owner's husband in the shopping center in 1994 was a doctor who passed away. His wife sold me some of his medical supplies. She was a client of mine and I just spruced her up last week , 16 years later.

I was here as Dear Abby attacked permanent make-up. She didn't like or understand permanent make-up. Nor did she want to know. She didn't even answer the letters.

I watched the economy go racing upward with the housing boom in Port St Lucie and come crashing down .

I dealt with the hurricanes one after the other.

I lost my sign into the neighbors yard. I lost electric, and cleaned -up the mess , my clients calling me " Are you still there?"

One year recently, road construction blocked my plaza, so I ran a protest that was all over the news (with TV coverage even!). It got them to finish work before Christmas. That's the kinda gal I am. I take action and I get things done.

I've run my shop solely as a one women entrepreneur. My clients would come in just to exchange their experiences they encountered with my potential clients.

My new location is set far off the road, so word of mouth has been my best advertisement. I have worked hard at what I do to make my clients happy. That's why I'm still doing what I do best.

With this new location, I'm really not changing anything. I'm just offering a better atmosphere, in a wonderful historical location. It's in the comfort and warmth of a home enviroment in a country setting.

Please give me a call at 772-466-BROW (2769) to make an appointment in my new shop.

Safety... Cleanliness... and Care

Back in the day of my Grandfather, when he had his tattoos applied, Charlie Wagner was his tattoo artist in New York.

Charlie did tattooing in the back room of the "barber shop". That's the way it was at that time; tattooing was hidden in the back room.

These days - after working so hard to bring tattooing to a higher standard over my 31 years experience in this business - I just can't seem to understand how anyone could justify having permanent make-up applied in the back room of a "hair, nail or facial salon."

With this new approach to Permanent Makeup, we have gone full circle back to unsanitary working conditions for applying tattoos. People simply don't seem to comprehend that this is applied in the skin it is NOT like having a facial. We don't get our hair & nails done in a tattoo studio nor should we have permanent make-up applied in a hair salon.

Additionally, you simply cannot master permanent make-up if you are only going to be practicing it on a client 1-2 times a week after a 3 day seminar. You can't switch back and forth between pedicures, facials, massage, or other services of that nature. Permanent makeup is a process that needs care and attention, cleanliness and quality training and experience.

After my many years of experience in the business and more years of studies leading up to it. I have come to the conclusion it take extensive practice and years of education to master applying permanent make-up properly to a persons face. I have even stepped back from applying traditional tattoos since it takes away from my focus of mastering just the face. I feel blessed to have experienced the years I have been able to work with my clients aging process and counteracting their aging looks. I still do my portrait paintings since this is a part of my studying the face, but it is still only a small part. As we know a canvas does not move, but a face has movement.

Permanent makeup has become an non-surgical face lift for my clients, and I've been fortunate to be able to share these experiences with them. And I'm still young enough to share many more years of this exciting business and what it has to offer to me also.

My ladies are still coming to me even from the nursing homes. They feel better about themselves even into their 90's being Always Perfect!
