Pigmenta Permanent Cosmetics

I have been getting my eyebrows done for several years now and I’m always very happy. The color is more intense at first but fades in a couple of weeks to a perfect color. I have very few eyebrow hairs left but they look great with the tattoos. I also got the eyeliner on upper and lower lids which I love. Julia is the best. I recommend this place to everyone.

I just got my eyebrows done by Julia today and I absolutely love them! I have been doing research for a little more than a year to figure out who I can entrust with such an important ordeal and I couldn’t be happier that I found Julia! I expressed my concerns and she rest assured that I would not be leaving with the typical sharpied in cheap Chinatown look that we all have seen. As soon as I got up to take a look in the mirror I almost wanted to tear up! I was so in love with the results immediately! Even with some swelling and redness I can see that when my eyebrows heal I will love them even more! I can not wait to let all my friends and family know where to go for amazing brows!

I bought a groupon for this place to get eyelash extentions, i walked in and no one was at the front desk, the Russian lady was still doing someones lashes. Was awkward. Then i waited 20min even though i was on time. I got my lashes done took 2 and a half hours!!! She said «i want to make sure you are happy with your lashes» of course but this has turned into a 3hr stint. Lashes were good but the service sucked. I went back again because lashes were good but waited 40 MINUTES!!! Same excuse, different day. I expected a discount or free eyebrow tint or something but nothing still got asked for a tip. There will be no 3^rd time because I’ve run outa time.

I’ve been going to Julia for brows about three years now, twice a year for boosts. Julia has been practicing for 20 years and is an expert in her craft. She can recognize immediately what brow shape will flatter your features best, but is always extremely willing to make many modifications based on your own suggestions.
I’m Asian with light, somewhat patchy brows. After getting them filled I was a lot more confident and could ditch all my brow pencils. After healing, my brows are extremely natural looking, due in part to Julia’s ability to choose a color that suited my natural brows. I will say that right after the procedure and during the few days following, your brows will be really dark, solid and even a little scary, so don’t freak out. However I’m still giving 5 stars because I’ve talked to many others in the industry and they all say it’s unavoidable. Go to Julia if you’re interested in this procedure, she’s the best in Boston.

I was extremely impressed with Pigmenta. Carolee, Julia’s assistant, is very knowledgeable and sociable, and Julia is truly a master of her craft. She had her work cut out for her too, as my brows were a bit of a mess when I came in.
Having had my brows done in the past, I must say this was one of the least painful experiences I’ve ever had — they must use some potent numbing cream. Unlike other aestheticians I’ve gone to, Julia gave me the exact color and thickness I wanted, and crafted the perfect arch. She uses the hair-​stroke technique so that your brows look natural.
I would highly recommend Pigmenta, and will, without a doubt, be a return client.

Initially I did not have a good experience due to a series of mishaps. However, after I brought it to their attention, Julia wrote a very thoughtful response. They not only issues a refund, but offered me free eyelash perming (yes it is a real thing!).
When I arrived the service was prompt, and on point. Love my eyelashes!!! Overall good recovery and it was handled very professionally.

I had my eyebrows done 1 month ago and went back for the complimentary touch up yesterday. I was not prepared for the intensity of the initial color application and called to ask how I could remove some of the color. After talking with a very friendly and helpful assistant, she convinced me to stick with it and follow the instructions. After 5 days, as indicated by the instructions, my skin healed and the darkness faded by 50%. The color and shape are perfect. After the touch up yesterday the color intensity is less than the initial application. If you want perfect eyebrows, see Julia. I do think when making the appointment Pigmenta should warn customers about the initial color intensity. It can be shocking! If not for this I would give Pigmenta 5 stars!

I had my brows done, worrying they wouldn’t look natural, but tired of trying to fill in mostly lost brows and watching them come off on the towel at the gym.
Wow! Julia is a fantastic artist– I have to convince people they aren’t my own, and never need to touch them at all. I’m so very happy I got up my courage to try it, and to connect with someone as careful and detail-​oriented as Julia. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Julia Bowers is a licensed cosmetic tattoo artist. She does permanent makeup, and uses some kind of brush-​stroke needle vs a tattoo gun for a very natural look. I have been to her 3 times (recommended touchups once a year). I wouldn’t go to anyone else!
She has various locations in different areas of Massachusetts, and set days that she is in each area. Check out her website for more info…
