Erica is now recognized as a #Sacademy artist

I am really happy to finally be recognized by S academy, one of the most prestigious permanent makeup families in the globe

....................................................................

While studying in university, I had an opportunity to travel/intern in Europe + Asia

It was GROUNDBREAKING and revealed different IDEAS + LIFESTYLES of #BEAUTY and innovative modern permanent makeup

EUROPEAN style permanent makeup + esthetics changed my life trajectory. I needed to bring this home to Colorado

My #permanentmakeup journey was a rocky start for me as I completed state approved training. The techniques were not the ones I saw in Europe that inspired my path

As a solo artist, I learned many things by trial and error on my own and by continuing to work with little to no feedback from other more experienced artists.

I was able to invest in more training with a man and academy I researched highly #sviatoslavotchenash

After I signed up to take his online training, I became extremely sick after childbirth and was hospitalized with a MRSA infection. It took me many many months to recover.

Once I recovered, I was able to continue my training. #sacademy team were so understanding to my situation. I was eventually assigned to my master, @cathynguyen_academys , my first angel in this permanent makeup journey.

I spent many days repeating the same work on paper and latex to have her correct me and she opened up my eyes to better designed permanent makeup.

I do not require a smooth road or no struggles in the end. I have learned willpower is like water. Nothing can stop it. It will pass through mountains. It falls like a waterfall. But it always gets to the place it desires.

I am so happy to be where I am today and so blessed to have had so much trust from my clients throughout these past 3 years. I will always work to do better and be better for each of you.
