Athena Karsant

I am so thankful to have found Athena– she is not only amazing at what she does, she is also such a wonderful person.
Several months ago, I decided to get permanent eyeliner and went with someone in another city. I was assured that it would look natural and that it would be the perfect shade of brown. It turned out looking like black eyeliner that was uneven– I was horrified and was so embarrassed that I would turn away whenever someone looked at me.
Fortunately I found Athena to help correct my eyeliner. I wish I had come to her first. I didn’t realize how difficult it is to correct permanent makeup. It may only take one visit to apply but can take 10+ visits to correct.
It is so important to find the right technician from the start. Save yourself the hassle and go see Athena Karsant. She is the best!

I went to Athena in 2011 and wanted camouflage tattoo on some white old scars. First thing i didn’t like about Athena was that she didn’t care what i wanted. I went in for a consultation for camouflage tattoo and she just straight out said that she wasn’t going to do camouflage tattoo on me, she was going to do some other technique called needling scars and i should sit out in the sun a couple of hours a day and the white scars would pigment back to my normal skin color after the needling. I thought Athena was a professional and probably knew more than what i had researched. So i allowed Athena to do this overpriced procedure of $ 3000 yes three grant for 3 sessions. I saw no difference in the pigment. The scars did appear more relaxed and smoother but the main reason i went to Athena was because i wanted the white scars to look less noticeable and match my skin tone. Last week my friend referred me to a place in Simi Valley. I meet with the artist and she color matched my skin tone and camouflaged the same white scars. I asked if she did needling, the same technique Athena charged me $ 3000 for, and the artist said that tattooing the color was just like needling so that saved me money. For what i was charged at this place was $ 90 and the artist did an awesome job. I just can’t believe the price difference. If you want to pay for the name and the city the business is in then be my guest. If you want good results for a reasonable price, do your research and shop around. Tattoo is permanent and i wanted someone with years of experience but. I learned that just because people are known by publicity and TV shows doesn’t mean they are the best at what they do. Some Unilocal reviews may be unreliable too.

My niece and I both went to Athena for our eyebrows ~ we parked directly across the street (first two hours free) easy in and out! The office was extremely clean and Athena and her staff were very welcoming and caring. We were seated in very comfortable and ergonomic lounge chairs with the necessary supportive pillows. Athena took time to explain the entire process and we both felt more and more relaxed as time passed. Athena is extremely talented as well as creative, and is truly an extraordinary artist! I never anticipated being this relaxed during a tattooing process but Athena is a very gentle soul but also lots of fun! Looking forward to my next appointment!

After getting tired of messing with my eyebrows all the time, I went to Athena to have her tattoo them permanently just the way I like them done. I went to Athena because a VERY prominent Beverly Hills cosmetic surgeon (who does the Kardashians) told me that she was the best tattooing expert in Los Angeles. I have found Athena to be an absolute expert in every way. I have sat in her office all told for about 6 hours and have enjoyed seeing all the miracles she performs so adeptly. She is fast, decisive, kind, friendly, honest, and an absolute perfectionist. She really does know what she is doing. I finally quit trying to second guess her because every time I did, I decided later that I should have taken her first advice instead. She really is always right. Plus, she does free touch ups for a full year. And she is so amazingly patient. And that is why it is one hundred percent worth it to pay a few bucks more and come to Beverly Hills for the best permanent makeup in the world. I get compliments on my eyebrows every single day. Thank you, Athena.

Athena is amazing! This is the third review I am writing for Athena. She is a true artist. I was initially very tenative about anyone going near my face with a needle and permanent dye. But it is amazing what desperation due to lack of eyebrows will do for a girl. After much research I decided to consult with Athena for my permanent makeup. I work long hours and have allergic eyes as well. So wearing makeup irritates this. My goal was to get definition in my face and therefore need to wear less make up. The initial consultation is no charge. Athena takes as much time as you request to get all questions answered. Her office is beautiful, bright and modern. She makes you feel very valued and comfortable. Immediately I knew Athena would do a great job… Initially I had the eyebrows done. With fantastic results I progressed to full eyeliner and then lips. All work was completed with excellence and artistry that surpasses all others in this profession. Do not go to anyone else for permanent makeup. Go to Athena! She is the best!!! Athena charges one fee for a whole year. This is great so you can budget and then not worry if you need touch ups throughout the year. Athena is always professional and caters to her clients needs and schedules. Athena Karsant is the best professional board certified permanent cosmetic artist. Many renowned doctors trust her with their client referrals. If you want gauranteed, top of the line amazing results Athena karsant delivers this. I love my makeup! I never felt so beautiful!
