Want to wake up with natural makeup? Beauty ink. Ailaina in Pleasanton makes this possible.

Tired of thinning, thinning, overly trimmed eyebrows or pale lips? Are you interested in highlighting your eyes, contouring your face with natural eyebrows, and enhancing lip color to complement the tone of your skin and hair? If so, beauty ink. The eyebrow and lipstick service provided by Ailaina may be the key to your relaxed lifestyle.

Ailaina Duran, owner of Beauty Ink. Permanent Cosmetics, is an intradermal beauty technician, who only uses the highest quality equipment and paints to enhance your natural beauty and give a lasting subtle appearance. She currently specializes in eyebrows and lipstick, but plans to provide other permanent makeup services soon.

"Usually when people think of permanent makeup, they think of eyebrows in the 90s, or they think of traditional micro-blades," Elena said. "They hardly know that in the past few years, the permanent makeup industry has made great progress through new technologies, styles, paints, machines, etc."

Ailaina enhances natural beauty with a soft touch and enhances customer confidence.

She currently offers two different styles of eyebrows. Powder eyebrows, also known as Ombre powder eyebrows, is a permanent cosmetic technique that creates the appearance of a soft shadow brow pencil, changing from dark to light near the brow. "Unlike traditional tattoos where pigment is implanted in the dermis, I actually use a needle on the top layer of the skin. This leaves a bunch of tiny micro-pricks that make the eyebrows look thicker, fuller, and symmetrical. "Ailaina said.

She also provides nano eyebrows. Nano eyebrows are designed to provide the same effect as micro blades, mimicking natural hair strokes. This makes the eyebrows more natural, fuller and clearer. However, unlike the traditional microblade, they use a hand tool with a blade to trim the hair, and all her services are done by the tattoo machine. Therefore, no skin cutting is involved! The advantage of this is that they are sweat-proof, stain-proof and waterproof. It is suitable for all skin types and can last up to two to three years.

Ailaina stated that her enthusiasm and overall goal is to "enhance people's natural beauty and enhance their confidence."

"I will give you an eyebrow so that you can get up and go. Daily eyebrows allow you to go out with confidence without worrying about applying makeup every day. If you want a thicker eyebrow, you can definitely add it."

For more natural stroke-like eyebrows, Ailaina recommends Nano, but for more dramatic effects, she said choose powder, but either option will still soften very naturally.

"I think both look natural, but this is a personal preference," Ailaina said. "When you finish a process on the first day, the largest, largest, deepest, and warmest eyebrows will appear, but they will fade, peel and flake during the healing process. I do like to start as thin and natural as possible, because we It can always be bigger, bolder or deeper in the future! I think each eyebrow should be unique to the client. No stamps, no eyebrow templates, I draw them based on each person’s existing hair and natural bone structure."

The process takes approximately three hours and includes initial consultation, paperwork, mapping, and numbness. Elena stroked gently, first practicing all her services on the balloon. There is very little bleeding because she only appears on the top layer of the skin. She also uses special permanent makeup pigments that will soften over time. For this reason, some people may call this semi-permanent. It is recommended to perform a touch-up or "perfect treatment" 6-8 weeks after the initial treatment or every year to maintain color integrity.

Elena says that people don't always turn red or angry after her procedure. "A lot of times, they look like I put them on makeup, which is really great," Ailaina said. However, since everyone's skin reactions are different, she does not recommend planning any large-scale events on the same day, especially after the red lip service.

Ailaina said that lipstick helps to make your lips blush and pale. Ailaina said that at first, your lips may become puffy because of the sensitivity of this area. She also said that in the first few days, the lips will appear very bright, dominant and intense. Lips fade significantly during the healing process, leaving a beautiful lip color without lipstick. If your lips are pale and you want to make them a little pinker or peachy, Elena says this will increase the tone, but it will not be like a bright red lipstick. If your lips are dark and some areas are purple, and you want to soften them, she can lighten them to a more pink or peach shade.

Ailaina is currently providing Friendsgiving special services for eyebrow services. If you book with a friend or family member, you will receive a $75 discount in the initial session. The deadline for this special event is November 30. No need to make an appointment on the same day. As long as you book and pay the deposit before November 30, you can get the service any time in November or December. Ailaina only accepts appointments, Monday to Friday, from 10 am to 5 pm, and on Saturdays on request.

Elena said she fell in love with Pleasanton and its community. She said that starting a business and buying a house here is an easy choice. Her company opened in January 2021 and is located at 1416 W. Oaklawn Rd Ste E in Pleasanton.
