I started my journey with permanent makeup in 2014 encouraged by my sister who is a phenomenal make up artist herself!! I don't wear makeup but had recently received a horrible wax job. While visiting in 2014 from Houston--my sister suggested Lasting Looks with Alma!! I could not be happier with my results--and the best thing is whenever I get waxed I'm never at risk of a bad job because my permanent lines keep the waxer honest!! Came back today for a little touch up--not required btw--I simply wanted to darken my pigments given I've begun to grey in my brows--and I wanted to add some more shape to the arch! (I had blepharplasty surgery on eyes which also lifted my brow line) Anyway--the makeup IS PERMANENT!! I'm so grateful my sister did her research prior to our journey--Alma is the truth!! Her experience and tenure in the industry is why I will ALWAYS come to her!! Our face is what the world sees--ensure you're putting your BEST forward!! Thank you Alma!! read more

SO, SO, SO happy with my eyebrows!! Alma did a great job!! She's so super sweet and very professional! I wanted my brows thicker, but Alma really does know best. She talked me out of it and said we could always go thicker if I wanted to later, but I realized how silly my thick, drawn on brows looked after getting them tattooed. It's so nice not to have to draw them in every morning, it saves so much time! And I don't have to worry about them smudging anymore either. I was able to make an appointment fairly quickly when I called her. She called me a couple days in advance to remind me and go over pre tattoo instructions. When I got there the day of, she drew on my brows to get the right look, took tons of pictures and got started. It took around an hour and a half I'd say for everything, if that. She completely numbed my brows before starting and I didn't feel a thing! I kept sneezing and she told me that was a good sign that I was really numb. That's for sure! The brows looked really dark at first, which I actually didn't mind, but they lighted up over the next week, just like Alma said they would. I absolutely love them and have been recommending Alma left and right! It's so worth the money!! read more

I visited lasting looks to have my liner finished . That was yesterday. The liner looks great. I am in the healing process now. It's worth the effort . Alma and her crew do fantastic work ! read more

I was referred to Alma by my mother in law. I had been interested in getting my eyebrows tattooed for many years but never considered going to someone until I saw their work first hand... I was so impressed with the eyebrows and eye liner that Alma did for my Mother-in law that I booked an appointment with her a few weeks later. My brows weren't too bad to start. I have a decent amount of brow hair and a good shape, they were just on the thin side (Probably from over plucking as a teenager). I was simply tired of filling them in everyday... and honestly great eye brows really change your face! The procedure was painless... seriously I didn't feel ANY pain! Most importantly my eyebrows look completely natural. Only people that I have told about the procedure can tell. I have since, given her number to several people. I would highly recommend her services. I am even thinking about going back for eyeliner. Alma swore I would be so happy with my brows that I would be back for more. I guess she was right! read more

I had my eyebrows, eyeliner and lipstick (and a brown spot above my lip) tatooed by Alma. I'm going back to treat another spot. She is excellent! I highly recommend her. I get so many complements now. Thank you Alma! read more

I had such a wonderful experience at lasting looks. Alma was really flexible when scheduling my appoinment . It was 2 weeks before my vaction I decided to get my eyebrows tattooed, she able to do my consultation and my first session the same day. Alma really went above and beyond during my consultation to make sure I was completely satisfied . I was really nervous about it hurting, I could not believe I didn't feel anything except for a little pressure. I have had so many compliments about how natural they look. Most people think their my real eyebrows they can't believe there tattooed. It use to take me forever to get ready in the morning because I had to draw on my eyebrows. Now it hardly takes me anytime to get ready which make my husband really happy !!!!! If your having doubt about permant make Just take a look a alma 'sbefore and after pictures It is what sold me and made me call her. I'm so glad I had them done . read more

Had my brows done on May 17th and I'll say it has been the best money I've ever spent. Alma is an artist, she's pleasant and professional. Alma listens to every question, concern and really addresses everything. She knows how to do the job and does it very well. I'm in healthcare and infection control is important to me. Alma is very proactive and practices proper infection control procedures. My eyebrows look very natural and it's wonderful to ALWAYS have them on ! No more eyebrow pencil wearing off or looking like I have no eyebrows in pictures. It was also painless and healed quicker than expected. read more

Lasting Looks Permanent Cosmetics - Alma is fabulous ! She's an artist. I did a lot of area research and so glad I found her. Simply amazing. - Permanent Makeup Near Me - Fair Oaks, California

If I could give one star I would. I got my eyebrows done here couple years ago and take it from me it is NOTHING like alma said it would be. First of all I waited awhile to do my review because it takes awhile to get the actual results after getting permanent make up. I got my brows done and what was suppose to be the hair stroke technique and dark brown color, it turned out to be the total opposite. My brows have no hair strokes what so ever, and the pigment has turned a bluish color, which she said wouldn't happened. And on top of that it has no shape or form, my brows looks like Someone drew them on with a sharpie pen. I still have to draw them on myself to make them look decent. Do yourself a favor and save your money!! Totally not worth it!! read more

I am so pleased with the eye brow tattooing that Alma did for me! She stayed within my natural borders and gave me exactly what was needed, not too much and not to little. I love how confident and experienced and professional she is. She didn't "over do" them or under do" them and the color she chose was the perfect shade. I'm so happy that I don't have to fill in my eyebrows anymore! They are gorgeous and I get compliment and compliment. Thank you, Alma!! read more

I came all the way from paradise ca to get a consult for my eyebrows to get tattooed because I was tired of drawing them on everyday. I already heard so many good things of lasting looks permanent cosmetics. Once I arrived for my appt. not only did she give me my free consult. She did them right then and there since I already drove all the way from paradise ca. I absolutely loved the work she did. I'd give alma more than 5 stars if I could. She has great personality. And does amazing work and is very good at what she does. I'm back today for my touch up. I would personally recommend all friends and family to her. She does more than just eyebrows. And she's great. read more

Alma is fantastic. Once I decided I wanted permanent liner I did a lot of research, and ended up going with Lasting Looks because of all the positive reviews. Alma was wonderful. She was very kind and honest, which I really appreciated, and her prices were more than fair. I was pretty apprehensive about getting permanent make up, but her obvious knowledge and professionalism put me at ease. I've had my consultation, my appointment, and my touch up already. It turns out I'm a very difficult person to put permanent liner on (my eyes watered constantly, which kept flushing the ink out) but Alma was up for the challenge. I can't believe how straight and perfect the liner ended up being, especially since I was so difficult to tattoo. I am already thinking about doing lip liner next, and a few family members are planning on scheduling appointments. read more

Great service, outstanding work!!!!! Alma made me very comfortable, the procedure was painless compared to past experiences... No kidding!!! I have already recommended her to many people and my Mom is going to see her as well! Check this place out before you go anywhere else, you won't be disappointed!!! read more

Very professional. Tattoo brows came out excellent!

Five Stars!!! Over the years my eyebrows begin to really thin out. One day I looked in the mirror and decided I wanted to do something about them. Being a woman of color I was also concerned... would the outcome be too light...too dark? I went to Lasting Looks Permanent Cosmetics and after my consultation with Alma, I immediately scheduled an appointment. Her work is beautiful. I am very pleased with my eyebrows and how natural and full they look. I would recommend her services to all women, her portfolio is very diverse and if you are like me and have never had any type of enhancement, she's perfect, great customer service and she makes you feel very comfortable about the procedure. Give her a call! read more

I had eyebrow tattoos done by Alma in April 2015 and am very happy. Never had a tattoo before. Lost my eyebrows due to alopecia and was tired of waking up with a bald face and pencilling my brows on, so I searched for someone who did brows with brush strokes that would not look just flat. Alma gave me a natural look, great color, a natural shape. The procedure went well. When I had some initial discomfort with the procedure, she numbed me a bit more and I had no further discomfort. I wish I'd found her sooner. I would do it again in a heartbeat! read more

Life changing! Alma is a master at her craft, and I highly recommend her. I had thin, odd shaped eyebrows that I had to color in everyday. Now that Alma Puig (puigaa@yahoo.com), skillfully tatood my brows, I have saved so much more time in the mornings & better yet it has changed the way my face looks by creating a balanced frame. I couldn't be happier and it didn't hurt at all! read more

Came here to get help from Laurie with a bad tattoo job from someone she trained. We did removal services and i got an infection from her breaking the skin in what my doctor said was an unclean environment the procedure was done in. I went to precision m.d and my eyebrows were removed in a month in a half with two sessions. This place is way outdated and the women who work there way behind in current techniques. BEWARE read more

I have had my eyebrows tattooed before and it was an unpleasant experience to say the least. It was extremely painful and they faded quickly. I did some research and came across Alma. Her before and after photos speak for themselves. I knew I was going to have excellent results but what I didn't know is how awesome she was going to be! She is so nice and easy to talk to. I left feeling like I had just spent an hour hanging out with my friend. I was nearly speechless when she was done. My brows look AMAZING! And they look real! Her hair technique looks so real no one at work even noticed I had just gotten tattooed. I highly recommend Alma for any of your permanent cosmetic needs. I know I'll never go to anyone else again. THANK YOU ALMA!!! read more

Lasting Looks Permanent Cosmetics - Freshly tattooed eyebrows. Not even red or swollen. Alma is a professional! - Permanent Makeup Near Me - Fair Oaks, California

HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE!!! went to get my lips lined...they went outside my lip line and refuse to fix it! I now have to go and get corrective makeup by another artist...they we're shocked at the work that I had done! It took three separate sessions, with the new artist, to fix what they had messed up...I truly suggest you think twice about going here and having anything permanent done to your face! read more

I recently had my eyebrows done by Alma. She did a wonderful job and I've received so many compliments from coworkers, friends and family. Over the years from extensive plucking my eyebrows were sparse in some areas. She use the stroke technique which resembles the actual eye brow hair fill-in the sparse areas. I love my new eyebrows and it cuts my make up time in half. I highly recommend going to see Alma if you need your eyebrows done. read more

Came in here a couple of weeks ago to get my eyebrows microbladed, I was waiting for a while before anyone noticed me but they were so rude when I tried to get their attention. I should have listened to multiple other people to NOT go here. Their work is terrible, place is unclean and staff is just plain rude. I recommended going ANYWHERE ELSE other than here & save your money. If I could give them 0 stars I would. read more

***TEARS OF JOY**** I went to Alma to see if she could correct my butcher job and deep scar above my eyebrows from Sue. She felt confident she could improve the shape and get the color I should have verses the grey color Sue did. When she first drew them on with an eyebrow pencil it brought tears to my eyes that there was hope. When she did the procedure later that day I was in shock how beautiful they are. To Have eyebrows again after 6 years is amazing. I can't stop looking in the mirror at what an amazing job she did. I knew it might be hard to cover up another persons mess but Alma blew me away !!! I will tell everyone I know to go see Alma!! True professional and a sweet lady!! Thank you Alma you are the best! read more

I first met with Alma in 2004 because I wanted eyebrows - - Alma makes sure you get what you want and that you understand so there is total satisfaction. Alma is so artistic, she knows what you want BETTER than you do. I had eyeliner already and she was able to improve on the appearance of that as well. Just yesterday I finished touch ups on both, so I guess you would call me a repeat customer. I enjoy Alma's professionalism and her personality, so it has been very easy to refer my friends to her. Thank you Alma, for helping me. I think permanent makeup is a great timesaver and a blessing to declining eyesight. I am confident it looks good; Alma did it! We all have different levels of pain, but it is not awful - - worth the results. If you were to do just one thing, I would recommend eyebrows. read more

I found Alma on-line after having a disappointing experience in Stockton. Alma walks you through the whole process. I could not be happier with my brows. I stress to all my friends if you want quality work you have to go to Sacramento! You get what you pay for and I could not be happier with the outcome of my eyebrows. I will be going back to Alma for years to come. read more

Alma is an artist! Alma filled in my sparse eye brows and evened them out (one was higher than the other). At first I was worried b/c it was so dark (not bad, just looked like I was wearing make up). She assured me that it would fade...it took a couple of months for the color to look natural. It has been a year (almost) and she was right! My eye brows look so natural and they are even. The greatest compliment is that none of my girlfriends noticed the difference...until I told them! My only regret is waiting so long to get them done! I only gave her 4 stars b/c I have nobody to compare to. read more

I just wanted to say how pleased I was with the permanent eyeliner applied by Alma. She is a true artist and cares about her clients. I really appreciated that she understood what I wanted (not too dark) and worked hard to achieve the desired results. I am very pleased now 1 year later and would recommend Alma from Lasting Looks very highly! read more

Very happy with Alma's creative talent! (and this comment is coming from a "brow obsessed" esthetician & spa owner!) Trust me, I know good brows! ..My concerns were the same as most any woman, I wanted feather-soft, barely-there, "touching" on my brows, especially in my left brow where I had sparsity and a vertical scar where the hair never grew back. I didn't want to continue spending so much time recreating my brow look with powder each & every morning.. My sister absolutely insisted that I only see Alma, as she had worked with Alma and had the opportunity to have seen first hand the "corrective work" Alma's had to do on clients that had their permanent make-up done by other "leading" artists in the area. She did exactly what I asked her to do and even aired cautious on the conservative side for me. I'm extremely happy with her work and would give her my highest level of recommendation! I love what she did for me! read more

Thanks for the call Alma we are doing great and appreciate your call making sure we were fine after our permanent makeup. We are both very pleased with our results, my eyebrows and my sisters' eyeliner. You made the process less frightening and took great care of us! read more

VERY VERY VERY happy with my eyebrows!!! Alma is amazing and transformed my almost non-existent brows into a work of art! They are absolutely beautiful, I couldn't have asked for a more pleasant experience. Alma made me feel extremely comfortable and showed me the progress every step of the way. I was very nervous because I have never had anything permanent done before but Alma and her team made sure I was okay and answered all my questions thoroughly, and provided me with easy after care treatment. My brows were uneven and she made them look perfect and super natural!!! You can't even tell what is my real hair and what is not. I am so happy I did this and recommend Alma to anyone who is considering permanent make-up. Will absolutely go to Alma for anything else I want done she is extremely talented and the best!!! read more

Alma is a serious life changer! She absolutely amazing at what she does and after getting multiple recommendations to go to Alma I would hands down recommend her for any permanent makeup procedure. For years I've debated getting my eyebrows permanently done and have been very self conscious and insecure about my lack of eyebrows for over 15 years. The morning after the procedure I woke up and almost cried of pure joy.... it finally set in that I no longer would have to hide a brow pen in my bra when going out just in case something smudged half my brow off. From the moment I walked in and Alma introduced herself I knew I was in great hands. She was so easy to talk to and let me know step by step what she was doing and what to expect. She made a cosmetic procedure I've thought long and hard about for years one of the most enjoyable experiences. She is truly the best and I couldn't be happier with my outcome. read more

I can't express enough how pleased I am with the amazing eyebrows Alma gave me! The experience was remarkably good. Alma is very warm, kind and professional. She explained everything that she was doing in detail as she worked. Alma picked just the right color for me. What I had been penciling on for years had to much orange in it. She was so confident and experienced that she put me completely at ease. The facility is nicely decorated, very clean and the staff all really friendly. If you're thinking about getting permanent makeup, I highly recommend Alma. I don't think that you could find a better permanent makeup artist, and she's so nice!. read more

Alma is fantastic! Easy, painless procedure and due to the fact that I have a disorder that renders me eyebrowless, she cut the price down so I could afford it and I am forever grateful!! It's a huge weight off my shoulders and my permanent eyebrows are wonderful!! Go see Alma and don't bother with anyone else she is the best there is read more

I am thrilled with my permanent eye liner and the practically pain free process Alma provided. Alma put me at ease immediately and explained everything and drew on what the final product would look like. Numbing the areas where the liner was placed was the absolute best. The liner is perfectly placed and shaped and the healing process was quick and without complication. Alma adheres to strict infection prevention techniques and gives strict guidelines on how to follow up once you leave her facility. I highly recommend Alma, and it is wonderful to wake up wearing makeup!! read more

After two attempts with two different permanent make-up artists I was frustrated and disappointed with the results. I had seen an individual working at one of the salons with absolutely STUNNING brows... I asked her with who and where she got the permanent work done. That's when I learned about Alma. I proceeded to schedule a consultation/appointment with Alma. She spent time with me on the phone, listening carefully to my history and we booked the time. Upon arrival, Alma studied my brows, and then absolutely, gave me 120% of her undivided attention as she ask me to explain what it was that I wanted to achieve and what I was not happy with. As only a true artist can do, she explained what and how she could do to better achieve my goals. More intense study of my brows, and then some drawing in , explaining all the way, what she could do, how she could do it, and what she could not do. With the calm understanding that I was finally in the hands of someone that was talented enough to clean up the previous mishaps on my brows, she went to work. The experience was like none I had ever had, calm, soothing, and with the confidence of an exceptional artist and completely professional. I emerged shortly there after with a transformation!!!! I am going back for my follow-up at which point she can assess the work and make any necessary adjustments. I suggest that anyone researching permanent make-up in Northern California, See Alma. Her work, demeanor and professional skills are unmatched! Living happy with gorgeous brows...thanks to Alma. Marin County Resident read more
