Derma Design Atelier — Local services in Denville

Just finished my touch-up session with Farah after getting the nano blading/powder brow combo treatment, and I could not be more happy with the entire experience. This is gonna be a thorough review so buckle-up.

Firstly, I absolutely love my new brows! I feel like they make me look 10 years younger, and I now can go back to just popping on some mascara and chapstick if I wanna go out to run a few quick errands.

The shop is absolutely beautiful, clean, and in a great location. Parking is easy, as well. This is nothing like going to get a tattoo. Farah is extremely meticulous in her screening process, so if you’re not a good candidate for permanent makeup, she won’t do it… which I appreciate and respect. She goes over your medical history, addresses all skin issues (which she is incredibly knowledgeable of), and then explains the process in detail… always checking in to make sure you’re comfortable with the coloring, shape, and next steps.

I’m covered in tattoos, and I have to say, this didn’t even feel like getting tattooed. She uses plenty of numbing analgesics, and the process really just felt like heavy scratching… not painful at all. Again, she constantly checks in with you to make sure you’re comfortable and explains what she is doing as she goes.

You’re sent home with an aftercare kit and thorough instructions on how to care for your new look. My brows were sore for about 24 hours, but I stayed on top of cleaning them and using the aftercare ointment, and the mild soreness wore off very quickly. If you stay within the timeframe, you even get a complimentary touch-up.

Again, I’m thrilled with the results, as Farah is a true artist with a passion for making people feel better about themselves. Cannot recommend more highly!

Also, shoutout to my amazing partner for the Christmas gift! Guys, if you wanna give your lady a gift that she will appreciate every single day, this is...

Farah is professional, attentive, caring, and detail oriented. She will listen to your concerns, and ease any worry you may have. She has amazing “bedside manner”, and she truly cares about every single person who she interacts with. She is reliable, trustworthy, and she does her absolute best every time. Her studio is immaculate. The process of permanent makeup isn’t painful at all (very different from a body tattoo). She applies a numbing cream. She explains everything she is doing which is so beneficial to people like me who want to know what’s happening during the process. Communicate your needs with Farah and she will work with you to meet your needs. I would recommend Farah to ANYONE (women/men/transgender) looking to make their brows look the absolute best they can be without even having to do them. She made mine look so natural. I’m natural blonde, and I love that I can wear no makeup and my eyebrows still look natural. They’re full and she created a beautiful curve that I could only get if I drew my brows on before the permanent makeup. Now, I literally wake up, wash my face, put on some mascara, and I’m out the door! I feel naturally beautiful, and I love it! Thank you Farah at...

I am a working, certified PMU artist. For the last few years, my primary focus was microblading. I contacted Farrah because I admired her machine work, and wanted to refresh and learn newer machine techniques (pixilation). She was responsive, friendly, and helpful. I booked a session with her and brought a model. She shared her knowledge on technique, stretches, pigments, needles, and throughly answered my questions! She took extra time with me to chat about everything PMU. One of the students she is mentoring was also there, anyone working as Farrah as a mentor is extremely lucky. This is a small industry, it’s hard to find a good mentor! I enjoyed working with her, I look forward to working with her again! I’d recommend anyone looking for a mentor or apprenticeship to go to her! Thanks Farrah for your support, openness, insight, and knowledge!

I wanted to leave another review because of my second experience with Farah but cannot figure out how! She has been supportive and wonderful throughout my journey as an artist. She explains things well, she’s articulate and sweet! I recommend some clients use her if they don’t want to drive to me and are closer to her!...
