The verified standard in permanent makeup
Anyone can call themselves an artist. Every artist listed here was personally trained and certified by a named educator, and we confirmed it against that educator's own roster. No pay-to-rank. No anonymous reviews.
What "verified" actually means here
Most directories rank whoever pays the most. This one starts from the credential.
Certified by a named educator
Every listing carries the name of the educator who trained and certified that artist. A real person with a reputation attached, not a self-reported badge.
Checked against the roster
We confirm each artist against their academy's own graduate records before they appear. Listings cannot be bought, and they cannot be self-claimed without verification.
Free for verified artists
Certified artists are listed free, permanently. Nobody pays for placement, so the order you see is never for sale.
Verified artists
56 certified artists across 15 states.
