I am so excited about the permanent cosmetics that I have had done by Sherry! Being a middle aged woman, I have used a magnifying glass for years to apply my makeup. Thanks to Sherry those days are over. I was a little leery in the beginning so I started out slowly. I decided to try 1 eyeliner treatment just to see what it was like. Sherry was wonderful, and quickly put my mind at easy! We went over my medical history, talked about my personal needs and expectations. Throughout the treatment Sherry made me feel comfortable, relaxed, and pain free. I was so excited with the results that within a week I had booked an appointment not only for a second eyeliner application but also eyebrows. I couldn’t be happier with results! If you are considering permanent make up I highly recommend Custom Beaute and Sherry Hale! You will be pleasantly pleased with the new and improved you
