Permanent Cosmetic Makeup by Laura Albano

Ok I will reveal a secret… I have gotten tattoos on my eyebrows and eyeline for decades now and I’ve been to all of them. I’ve regretted going to most of them because they lack the skill and artistic technique so I sought out a professional who has mastered this art. Laura’s skilled hands perfected the art of enhancing my eyes and brows. She didn’t use a machine but hand did them which only a precious few can do. In under an hour I was done! Ladies you want to do it once and get it right not pay more for fixing mistakes. You get what you pay for and I am happy with the results! I got it done by the best person because I’m worth it. My eyes and my brows define my face so I entrusted it to Laura and I’m thrilled with how I look. No more smudged eyeliner and no more eyebrow pencils. I threw them all away!!! Thank you Laura!

Drove a long way to see her because of all these great reviews. She doubled the price she quoted over the phone after the long trip to get there. I should have just left at that point, but, I went ahead anyway because I wanted to get it done and she was recommended. The work she did faded in 2 weeks time, completely. I asked her to give some of the money back since the results weren’t what she claimed and she refused. She said I can come back and pay her more money for ‘touch ups’. I hope this review saves someone else from wasting their hard earned money and time.

I did my research online and felt confident that Laura was skilled, respected, and client-​centric. She is all of this and more. She asked a lot of questions to make sure she knew what I wanted. She talked through what I should expect the day of treatment and afterwards. I was a little concerned about the pain of permanent makeup. Laura makes sure the areas she’s working on are as numb as possible. I was amazingly surprised how little pain I felt and how quickly and accurately she works. The results are just what I wanted. I love having subtly-​lined eyes without wearing and removing makeup daily. I even had my eyebrows filled in to look fuller. Love them, too!

LOVE… LOVE…LOVE my lips! I am 59 and Laura lined my lips (pain free :) 3 weeks ago. I use to line my lips and wear lipstick all day. Now I can just wear lip gloss and they looker fuller and have color all day. DO NOT hesitate to call Laura. She is professional, gentle, great personality, and knows her business… you will wonder why you did not call her sooner !!

Laura’s work is Amazing. Plus her company. Loved dealing with her yesterday. It was done in a gorgeous neighborhood with the boats and water surrounding the office. It’s only been 1 day and my eyebrows and lips look better than I thought they could look. She’s gentle, informative and knows what she’s doing. I’ll see her in 3 weeks for a touch up. I’m complicated with medical drama & and she handled my medical complications as a medical professional. That’s how she won me over.

Five stars is not an overstatement. Laura gave me upper and lower eyeliner 2 weeks ago. Everything was just right: the scheduling process was accommodating, the office lovely and welcoming, the pre treatment discussion informative and accurate, the procedure totally comfortable, the instructions for care were clear as a bell, and the best part? I look fantastic! thank you, Laura.

Laura is professional, caring, and a perfectionist. She provided para-​medical scar cover tattoo treatment for me and I am extremely impressed by the results. I did a lot of research before choosing Laura and I only found positive reviews from her previous clients. I am planning to return to Laura for some additional work and may even try some cosmetic makeup since I feel a great deal of trust in her aesthetic and technical expertise. I highly reccomend Laura’s services.

I thank you for your unbelievable permanent makeup hand applied techniques I received today on 4÷11÷13. My words do not do justice to Laura’s skillful hand techniques and I was there and I still don’t believe her speed and precisions.
Just to give a complete history of my permanent makeups and all by electric applicators, I have had my 1^st permanent makeup in1993. I am Asian and eyeliners and eyebrows are the most critical. Applying the makeup badly will give Asian eyes a smaller look. Touch-​ups were in 1995, 2001, 2005, and 2009. Thus this reviews come from a pool of 6 separate comparisons what the desired quality of the makeup applications can be.
Furthermore, I did not just find Laura Albano a few months ago; I became extremely intrigued and curious upon learning her techniques last year in May 2012. I could not go then because I did not have the money to do the complete set of eyeliner, eyebrows, and lip liner. There was no going back for me once Laura became known to me.
What I really desire most from makeup is getting markup on with great precision. That is using Laura’s steady hands I could not believe how she was able to draw my eyeliners where my lashes are. This, in effect, opened my eyes and gives it a natural look.
I am looking forward to the ongoing relationship with Laura Albano.

Laura Albano is an angel who absolutely changed my life. I had a very bad facial scar resulting from an automobile accident at the age of 15 — I’m about to turn 46. I had two revisions on the scar by a top plastic surgeon at UCLA and as many as 30 — 40 laser treatments by a Beverly Hills «celebrity» dermatologist who was regularly featured on the local news. I was left with a scar that was so white I felt like it glowed. There is NO treatment for hypopigmentation. I was so self conscious and it was so white I couldn’t even cover it with make-​up, in fact, Laura Mercier herself could not completely cover my scar when I saw her at a make-​up event in New York. I had never heard of «Medical Tatooing» but was lucky enough to find Laura on-​line while doing some research. From the moment I read about her impressive credentials and prestigious affiliations, and looked at some of the photos on her website (
), I HAD to see her. Laura Albano did more for me in 30 minutes (and for an extremely reasonable fee), than a top plastic surgeon and dermatologist were able to do at any price. The difference in how I feel is unbelievable, I feel undamaged for the first time in 30 years, my life seems so much easier now, I can leave my house without make-​up and without feeling so self-​conscious. It’s like a whole new life. Of course I wish I had found her years ago, but I’m so happy now, that it’s much easier to look forward than to regret the past. Some people are fortunate enough to change peoples lives by the work they do and Laura is truly one of those people, she has a gift and dedication that is rare to find. I’ve not met a kinder, gentler person in my life. I wish there was higher than five stars to rate her. There are no words to recommend her highly enough!

Laura is the absolute best! I was looking to get permanent makeup on my eyebrows and lower eyelid but was hesitant because I thought it would be too painful from past experience. Laura was amazing, she was fast and it was painless. It looks perfect!

I had my eyebrows done several months ago. Laura did a wonderful job and it is well worth the money. They look natural. I highly recommend her.

I came all the way from San Diego to have Laura do my eyeliner and lips. She does amazing work– very natural. My friends all were sad to hear she wasn’t local!

After reading the reviews & researching different places, I decided to see Laura for permanent top eyeliner & I was SO HAPPY I did!!! I had heard this procedure was suppose to be very painful so I was expecting the worst, but was very surprised… it is best desribed as just an uncomfortable feeling. I wouldn’t call it painful though! She also has a great personality. Would highly recommend her… I am going back to get the bottom done soon as well, she leaves it so natural looking. Laura is a professional and the only person I would trust for permanent makeup=)

This is a review for my mom. My mom has seen Laura twice now and both times she has been very professional and helpful. She definitely knows what she is doing and she does a great job. I fell in love with her pup Lucy who happens to be the most well behaved dog I have ever seen. Plus she’s adorable. If you are looking to get permanent make up done I recommend you don’t go to a random hair salon or a tattoo place because your results will not look as good as what Laura can produce. I am saving up to get some eyeliner done on my mother and I because I can only trust her. I hope she’s around for a long time. I’d like to learn how to do cosmetic make-​up. What better of a person to learn from? Anyways, she’s totally awesome and would be worth it even if she charged more. To save you time, Laura only takes cash or check.

Came down from No. Cal. because I heard how good Laura is. Was not disappointed. She is an artist who truly enjoys her profession. She did permanent eyeliner on me. Very much appreciated her caring way, her artistry, and the results. Would highly recommend her.

Laura does the best permanent makeup. She recently did my eyebrows and they look so real. She uses small strokes which makes it look like real hair. She is a professional and the only person I would trust for permanent makeup.
