Meet Tess

Hi, I'm Tess.

I've done permanent make-up for 24 years, and I still take my time with every face.

We start by talking about how you wear your make-up now. Then I map your brows or lips, test colours against your skin, and we only begin once you love the shape in the mirror. Want soft and barely-there? That's what you'll get. Want more definition? We build it step by step.

  • USA Masters Certification, American Institute of Intradermal Cosmetics
  • Bloodborne pathogen certified, with a sterile, calm studio
  • Corrections of brows done by other artists

How it works

From first message to healed result.

  1. 01

    Send a WhatsApp

    Tell Tess what you'd like and send a photo of your brows, lips or eyes. She'll reply with options and a date.

  2. 02

    Map and match

    On the day, the shape is drawn on and the colour is matched to your skin. You see it all before anything is permanent.

  3. 03

    Treatment

    Tess works slowly and checks in with you throughout. You go home with everything you need for aftercare, and she's a WhatsApp away if questions come up.

  4. 04

    Perfecting touch-up

    Once healed, a touch-up within 12 weeks fills any gaps and fine-tunes colour. R1 500 for Tess's own work.

“Having Tess work on your face, is like receiving confidence!”

Choosing Tess for my permanent makeup was one of the best decisions I've made. She possesses an incredible talent for enhancing natural beauty. Before the procedure, I was a bit self-conscious about my eyebrows(previously done at another artist), but now, thanks to her artistry, I feel significantly more confident. The transformation was remarkable, and the convenience of perfectly applied makeup every day is invaluable. The entire process, from consultation to aftercare, was handled with utmost care and precision. I wholeheartedly recommend Tess for a truly life-enhancing permanent makeup experience.

I was very afraid to do permanent eyeliner, but after I was referred to Tess I decided to do it anyway, I knew from the moment I met Tess that I was in good hands and that I could relax. I received a lot of complements, I have since had a touch up on the eye liner after many years just to refresh as it was still perfect and had my eyebrows done. I am very happy with my eyebrows as it look very natural. Tess is incredibly professional, her work is of the highest quality. Tess also makes sure that you have everything you need for aftercare. I would recommend Tess anytime.

My place to go, Tess has transformed my look: beautiful brows, eyeliner, and not forgetting my rose colour lips. I will definitely go back and recommend 👌 her any time. Tess I trust you with any procedure and your professionalism and friendliness that you give your clients is just wow.

I went to Tess to get my eye brows and lips done. She is the kindest most professional person. I had really bad eyebrows done previously by someone else, and she not only colour corrected it, but gave me the most beautiful brows! Having Tess work on your face, is like receiving confidence! Thank you so much, for my beautiful brows and lips! You are the best!!!

Tess, weereens baie baie dankie vir jou. Ek kan nie ophou kyk na die groot verskil wat dit maak nie. Dit lyk stunning. Dit is vir my so lekker om jou dop te hou as jy besig is en te sien met hoeveel passie jy jou werk doen en jou tyd vat. Dankie dat jy mens nie net soos 'n nommer laat voel nie.
