Lift Permanent Makeup

Lift Permanent Makeup is made for your individual look and lifestyle. Our aim is to achieve the most natural results in permanent makeup procedures. We bring extensive industry experience combined with a passionate focus on enhancing individual facial features to maximize the unique beauty potential of every client.​

Permanent Makeup is the process of implanting color into the dermal layer of skin with the use of specially designed digital machine.

Microblading is the latest in permanent make up.  It originated in Asia and is also known as embroidery, microstroking and feathering.  It does not involve the use of a machine; it is performed by a specialist using a hand tool. It is a technique that uses a super fine micro-blade to etch lines into the skin.

Each procedure will take about 2 hr 45 min. A follow-up appointment will be scheduled between 4-6 weeks later.

The service can be a little uncomfortable for those who are more sensitive. However, there is an anesthetic applied during to keep this to a minimum to where it is completely tolerable.

The procedure is permanent, although most clients will experience some fading and will choose to return for touch-ups.

There is a right color for everyone. We take into consideration your natural skin color, hair color, and eye color. A soft, natural color is always preferred.

SERVICES

Lift Permanent Makeup treatments are tailor made for your individual look and lifestyle.

​Using state of the art equipment and high quality pigments from the USA, we can offer the client a pleasant experience with less pain, less trauma, faster healing and great color retention.  We follow all universal precautions and use pre-sterilized, single use needles that are 100% disposable.

BROWS

Anyone who desires more fullness of the brows will love this procedure and the time saved by not having to apply makeup. A brow treatment puts the finest looking hair strokes back into the eyebrows to provide the most natural definition and dimension possible.

5 REASONS YOU’LL LOVE GETTING YOUR BIKINI AREA WAXED

Getting your bikini area waxed by a professional can truly be a “treat yourself” moment. Most ladies find themselves more pleased with the results of waxing than other temporary hair removal options like shaving, epilation, and hair removal creams. Our top five benefits include:

1: SKIN HEALTH

Not only does waxing remove hair, it’s a physical exfoliation that removes lifeless surface skin cells, which means you’re receiving hair removal and skincare all in one.

2: SMOOTHER SKIN

Because you are removing hair from the root and exfoliating the skin, after a wax, you’ll probably find that your skin is now among the smoothest things in your life (sorry, boyfriend).

3: LONGER-LASTING RESULTS

Since your hair is being removed by the root, it will take much longer to grow back than with shaving.

4: THINNER AND FINER HAIR

When your hair does grow back after waxing, it will grow back weaker, making it finer, softer and sparser. Win-win!

5: MINIMAL IRRITATION

Many people find hair removal methods like epilation and hair removal creams irritating to the skin. However, waxing rarely causes this problem if it’s done by a licensed professional.

CONSISTENCY PAYS OFF:

Once your first wax is out of the way, you’ll find out that every reservation gets easier and easier. In order to keep your skin soft and smooth and your next wax as painless as possible, we recommend waxing year-round.

HOW EXACTLY DOES BIKINI WAXING STACK UP AGAINST THE REST?

BIKINI WAXING VS. SHAVING

Waxing provides smoother and longer lasting results by removing the hair from the root, whereas shaving cuts the hair right below the skin’s surface, causing a prickly feel days after shaving. Waxing is also healthier because it provides a physical exfoliation, removing lifeless surface cells. In other words, waxing will give you the smoothest skin – and the smoothest experience.

BIKINI WAXING VS. EPILATION

Epilation is very similar to shaving or tweezing, and removes the hair right below the skin’s surface. Because epilation is done by machine, it’s slower and significantly more painful than waxing. Waxing provides smoother and longer lasting results with far less discomfort.

BIKINI WAXING VS. HAIR REMOVAL CREAMS

Waxing provides smoother and longer lasting results by removing the hair from the root. Chemical creams only remove the hair right below the skin’s surface. Just be warned, these can be very irritating to the skin as the cream can cause burning if left on for too long.

WHAT ABOUT A MORE PERMANENT SOLUTION?

Thinking about laser hair removal? Well, it can be risky – laser hair removal may or may not provide permanent hair removal. Results vary due to women’s varying skin tones and hair types. It can also be very expensive, especially if it doesn’t turn out to be a permanent hair removal solution for you. Waxing provides smooth results for three to four weeks and is very cost effective.

THE TYPES

THE DIFFERENT TYPES OF BIKINI AND BRAZILIAN WAXES

If you’ve heard the terms bikini and Brazilian waxing thrown around interchangeably, then you may be confused. But don’t worry – we’re here to clear things up. At European Wax Center®, we define our three service offerings as bikini line waxes, bikini waxes, and bikini Brazilian waxes.

BIKINI LINE

is a basic tidying; we wax the sides (called your panty line) and across the top. If you’re wearing a bikini, this will prevent any hairs from “peeking out”.

BIKINI FULL

is the next step and allows you to take off as much or as little hair as you like from the front. If you want to leave a small “strip”, triangle, square, or nothing at all, it’s up to you.

BIKINI BRAZILIAN

goes from the front, all the way to the back with an added butt strip. This is perfect for a completely nude look or you can leave a neat triangle, strip, or square on the front. Choose the style that best fits you.

Celebrity Chef Marc Cummings

at TANNINS Restaurant & Wine Bar

By Veronica Badzey

For over ten years, Tannins Restaurant and Wine Bar has been bringing the art of Southern Italian cuisine to diners throughout South Orange County. A beloved favorite with locals, Tannins is known for its delectable Mediterranean menu, meticulously curated California wines, and friendly, old world ambience. Now, there’s even more reason to visit Tannins with the addition of Celebrity Chef Marc Cummings.

Guests of the restaurant might recognize Chef Marc from his hit Food Network TV shows: Simply Sumptuous with Chef Marc and The Very Best of Everything with Marc Cummings, where he was instrumental in introducing the network to the food and travel concept. Chef Marc received his training in the culinary arts at Le Cordon Bleu in Paris, then spent 18 years as Executive Chef on world-class cruise ships such as Crystal Cruise Lines, Oceana, and Seaborne. In 2006 and 2007, he was invited by Secretary of Defense Robert Gates to orchestrate 42,000 Thanksgiving dinners for U.S. troops stationed in Iraq and Afghanistan, as part of Operation Season’s Greetings.

“What drew me to Tannins,” Chef Marc shares, “was the exceptional menu. I’ve traveled all over Europe and I’ve seen the best of Italian cuisine, and in my opinion, Tannins is the top Mediterranean restaurant in all of Orange County.”

In his new role at Tannins, Chef Marc has elevated the menu with handcrafted appetizers, entrées and dessert specials that are updated every two weeks. His creations showcase the freshest possible ingredients, high quality pastas, and tempting flavors based on authentic European dishes.

According to Chef Marc, he typically prepares his specials where most of the dishes separate certain culinary dynamics which help to pair the vast collection of fine red and white wines at Tannins. Just ask your server or the restaurant’s sommelier for a recommendation on the perfect bottle to complement your meal.

When it comes to the main event, be sure to try the traditional Venetian Pancetta Carbonara, made with premium pancetta, linguini, olive oil, parmesan cheese and egg. Another one of Chef Marc’s most popular entrée specials is his Seafood Posillipo, a delicious combination of fresh shrimp, clams, scallops, and salmon sautéed in a red wine marinara broth over linguini. For dessert, don’t miss the crowd-pleasing “Big Apple” — a homemade apple cobbler topped with vanilla bean ice cream. Equally sinful, the mouthwatering Strawberry Cherva dessert special, featuring strawberries sautéed in butter, brown sugar, and reduced balsamic vinegar, topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and served over a roasted vanilla bean cake — the perfect ending to any meal.

Tannins also features handcrafted, brick-oven fired pizzas, a full bar, and a unique array of premiere California wines. The property also offers two private dining rooms that can accommodate intimate occasions and larger gatherings. The Wine Cellar and Levendi Wine Cave offer charming and cozy spaces that are perfect for hosting birthdays, corporate luncheons, rehearsal dinners, holiday parties and book clubs. Look for new and exciting events coming soon, including a monthly Special Rib Night featuring Chef Marc’s famous Lollipop Candy Roasted Baby Back Ribs, Wine Tasting Nights and Wine Dinners.

Guests also appreciate Tannins well-deserved reputation for delivering friendly, impeccable service. It’s waitstaff makes a special effort to greet customers by name, and the open kitchen allows diners the opportunity to watch their food being made while they wait. Chef Marc goes out of his way to greet customers at their tables, contributing to the family atmosphere often found at neighborhood establishments in the old country.

“Eating here,” says Chef Marc, “is as authentic and real as dining in Europe. The flavors are so robust, and the plate presentation and attention to detail is like I’ve never seen anywhere in the world, on the finest cruise ships, or at the most luxurious resorts. Tannins brings it to you.”

Tannins also offers off-site catering for events of all types and sizes. For a truly exclusive dining experience, Chef Marc is available for private dinner parties in your home. For groups of 10 to 12, consider having him prepare a meal to remember at your next special occasion.

The faculty at Pathway aims to ensure that no student falls between the cracks. Pathway recognizes the unique qualities, gifts, and needs of each student and strives to help students build upon their strengths, while honoring their learning challenges.

Is Pathway right for your student?
Is your child struggling in reading, writing, or math? Do they have difficulty staying focused or organized? Is the workload too heavy and they can’t keep up? Are they overwhelmed by class size and peer interactions? Are they not receiving the support they need in order to be successful?

Pathway students possess the potential to perform well academically, but may struggle with:

• Attention Deficit Disorder
• Dyslexia
• Language processing
• Motivation and interest
• Anxiety
• Self-esteem
• Auditory and visual processing
• Autism Spectrum Disorder
• Other learning challenges
