While permanent make-up is their specialty, Gabriella's also offers unique detox procedures; offers certificate programs in permanent make-up, gives open house seminars and so much more. Discover the difference of Gabriella's House of Beauty today. Located in Oakville, Gabriella started her permanent make-up clinic in 1993. After years in the spa and beauty industry, Gabriella was looking for something new. She wanted to transform people's lives in a permanent way. "I was looking to start something innovative," says Gabriella. "Something that would help everyone more than just with a haircut or style, something that was more medical." After becoming certified and taking various courses, and while working in a downtown tattoo parlor to get familiar with the ink and how the machines worked, Gabriella was ready to start her own permanent make-up clinic. She started with a line of colours. "I created a line of colours that were more adaptable to make-up," says Gabriella. "My colours give more of a natural look and they work along the same colour theory as skin tones." These colours were so well received, that they are now shipped internationally. At Gabriella's, her client's health and safety is the top priority. Gabriella guarantees gamma sterilized disposable needles for each client. All instruments are sterilized using hospital grade steam autoclave. The process of undergoing a permanent make-up procedure is a simple, affordable and painless one. The initial appointment consists of a consultation, where Gabriella determines what season you are to give a natural and complimentary colour tone. A patch test is done to rid any possibility of allergic reactions. This is also the time you will discuss your wants and Gabriella will give her expert suggestions. The next visit is when the permanent make-up is applied. A few weeks later, you will come for a touch­up application where you can discuss if you want lines thicker, darker etc. "The idea is to make each client look naturally beautiful and to enhance them!" exclaims Gabriella. Although the convenience of not having to apply makeup every day is one of the biggest benefits of permanent make-up, there is more to it BEFORE than that. Permanent makeup instills confidence and selfesteem. You wake up in the morning looking and feeling great. Imagine never feeling AFTER embarrassed to answer the door without make-up, or getting out of a swimming pool looking just as great as when you got in. Permanent make-up is about looking BEFORE great on the outside and feeling confident and beautiful on the inside. Working closesly with highly-respected individuals in AFTER the medical industry, Gabriella specializes in helping people who suffer from skin or medical conditions with her permanent cosmetics. "We can camouflage scars, vitilgo, alopecia areata and areola reconstruction for women who have suffered from breast cancer," says Gabriella. "It gives me so much joy to be able to help someone. Making them feel great about themselves is why I do this." In addition to these services, Gabriella can also help those who have had a less-then-pleasant experience at another permanent make-up clinic. Many people put their trust in clinics that are not focused on quality, and want to have their permanent make-up fixed. Gabriella can fix any mistake and works to bring a smile to all her customers' faces. that I was in good hands and then the outcome was so wonderful, I realized I had nothing to feel nervous about!"
